somewhat strange that two new depar-

the daughter of u grandee was attended
by eight bridesmaids, quite after the
English fashion. AS Il rule, brides

by one or two maids OF honor, each
dressed differently. In this last OF

The second innovation was observed ut

wore. instead of the orthodox White

instead of orange blossoms or myrtle
bouuuets of white camellias, both on
her corsage and catching up her lace

The President is enjoying his outing
very much. He has not had three days
of such complete freedom and rest
since he entered the White House.
The insurgent newspaper men re-
turned to the assault to-day Having
been repulsed on the land side by Mr.
Mangum's pickets, they resolved to-
day to try to effect an entry to the
camp by the water route. A boat was
chartered at Vicksburg, according to
the story in circulation here, and it
was reported to have left that place
at O'Clock this morning. The route
of the expedition is to be up the Missis-
sippi to the mouth of the Yazoo thence
up the latter river to the Big Sunfiow-
err. The distance, owing to the bends
in the river, is more than forty miles,
but if the party started it has not
reached it's destination. The river men
say there is now a sand bar at the
mouth of the Yazoo, which would stop
any craft drawing more than twelve
inches.

with Bob Bobo's pack of hounds sew

to have had better luck than the Presl-
