 The grounds surrounding the Wells mansion were brilliantly H. luminated with clusters of electric lights, while the interior Of the resi- dence, lighted with electric lights also, presesented a most cheering appearance.
 No such elaborate decorations have ever been attempted in Pres colt before as was witnessed last evening. Hundreds of yards Of smila1 were imported from Caliior- nia for the occasion, while roses from San Francisco and chrysanthemuus from Los Angeles, grown especially for this occasion, and numerous other flowers were in great profu- sion. SmilaX entwined the railing ot the stairway, formed arches over the doors and encircled in most artistic designs the Parlor in which the cer- emony was performed. while banks ! of roses and chrysanthemums were placed on mantels, in front of the fire place, and in other nooEs and corners where they would give a pleasing effect, and smaller flowers of white. dotted the decorations oi smilax, giving a pleasing relief to the green.
 The crowning effort in decoration was that of the table where the bridal party paItook of its weddiug supper, festOons of smilax reaching from the corners, sides and ends of the table to the ceiling over the cen ter, forming the outlines Uf a wed ding bell.
