SENATE.
Washington, Nov. 27.—Illustra
tive of the character of the contest
now progressing in the Senate, Pat
terson said, if the Senator (Mr. Ed
munds) said that he (Patterson) made
a bargain of that kind, he said what
was not true. [Sensation.]
Edmunds said it was one of the du
ties of a Senator and a gentlemen to
be careful in his statements. Ho re
peated the statement as made in pub
lic newspapers, that the Senator was
under indictment for the alleged
offense of having secured his election
by bribery.
Gordon inqured where the Senator
got this information.
Edmunds replied it was the com
mon statement on the streets and in
the public prints, one of which he
held in his liand.
Saulsbury rose to a point of order,
and stated no charge was pending
before the Senate against any Sena
tor. The Senate owed it to the morali
ty of this body that the scandal
against a Senator should not be in
dulged in on the floor without specific
charges had been made against such
Senator. He, therefore, thought the
Senator from Vermont (Mr. Ed
munds) was out of order.
Tile Vice President overruled the
point of order, and Haid lie did not
understand the Senator from Ver
mont as making charges against any
Senator.
Mr. Gordon said the Senator from
Vermont (Edmunds) has seen lit to
arraign by insinuation not only two
of his former party associates, but
Senators on the Democratic side of
the chumber for what he was pleased
to call a corrupt bargain, and, Sir,
upon what evidence—upon newspaper
articles, reports ami whisperings
around the eapitol? Now, Mr. Brest
dent, why this indirection? Sir, I
wish to place tiiat Senator upon
notice that if this side of the chamber
or any member of tills body is to be
arraigned upon such testimony, we
might justly retaliate. If corruption
is to be charged by insinuation and
inuemlo, which I will not follow
Webster in saying, is “the basest
subterfuge of cowardice, of malice and
of falsehood,” let it be understood that
upon like evidence I might arraign
that side of the chamber tor
having invoked a judge upon the
bench to hold the decision in a crim
inal prosecution over the head of a
Senator, so us to induce him to
change the political course lie has
pursued for the last few days. Hut,
sir, I only rose to protest against such
insinuations and to put that Senator
upon notice that upon such evidence
I could demonstrate that Republican
Senators had sought to influence a
judge to use his fearful powers on the
bench for political ends; had sought
to change the very Temple of J ustice
into the altar of sacrifice, for a Sena
tor who chose to vote according to the
dictates of his conscience.
In further illustration to beat time
and exhaust Senators, so as to consent
to adjournment, Mr. Ransom, of
North Carolina, as the reading of the
testimony was about being resumed
he inquired if General M. C. Butler
had an opportunity of eross-examin
ing the witness.
Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, who
was chairman of theoommittee which
inquired into South Carolina attain
said the testiniony of the witness was
taken down * by the stenographer,
handed to General Butler, and he
suggested to Merrimon, a member of
the committee, such witnesses as he
desired to have examined and ques
tions he wished to be asked.
Mr. Ransom asked if this testimony
was not taken with closed doors, and
if General Butler was not excluded
from the sessions of the committee.
Mr. Cameron replied in the affirm
ative.
Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, solo
voce, "the usual way."
Mr. Ransom referred to the remark
made by Mr. Hoar, which he said
reached his ears, and said it was unu
sual in any civilized community to
have testiniony taken to damn a man
and not allow him to lie present to
cross-examine witnesses. Had not
Mr. Corbin, the contestant of Mr.
Butler, these same witnesses with
him two or three weeks?
Mr. Cumeron replied, that nearly
all the Democratic witnesses were
under indictment, and they were
summoned to Columbia to attend
court, Mr. Corbin then being U. 8.
Attorney, for South Carolina.
Mr. McDonald, of Indiana, asked if
the Senator from New Hampshire
would not read the testiniony of Gen.
Butler.
Mr. Wadleigh said lie thought it
best to put in one sideof the ease first.
Mr. Hoar said the Senator from
North Carolina (Mr. Ranson) as
sumed a style of speech unbecoming
to him.
Mr. Ransom—Mr. President —
Mr. Hour (excitedly)—I do not
yield; I have the floor. He (Mr.
Hoar) must say that it was a strange
tiling that anywhere where common
or Christian law prevailed, outrages
should lie committed, and among the
members of a great party not a man
was found to raise his hand to stop
them.
Mr. Ransom said he had the floor
by the courtesy of the Senator from
New York.
Mr. Wadleigh—But the Senator
from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar) inter
rupted him and then claimed the
floor.
Mr. Ransom, continuing — That
Senator during his remarks took oc
casion to first reflect upon him (Mr.
Ransom) then upon the party with
which he acted, and upon the section
which lie loved. He desired to say,
once for all, that when lie desired to
beinstructedas to ivliatlwas becoming,
lie trusted he should have the good
sense to seek that instruction from
other sources than the Senator from
Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar). When
lie (Mr. Ransom) made the state
ment, that in no civilized community
a man could be condemned without
an opportunity to cross-examine the
witnesses, was it an answer for the
Senator from that great State of Massa
chusetts to say, in 110 country would
such a wrong be committed ns
hud been in the South. That
answer was unbecoming his char
acter and unbecoming the Senator
from Massachusetts. Nothing pre
vented him (Mr. Ransom) from using
a harsh term to denounce the state
ment of the Senator from Massachu
setts, but the proprieties of the Senate
chamber. There was not a good man
in the South who had not denounced
all outrages. Did it become an
American Senator to throw cal
umny upon eight millions of people,
upon thirteen great States whose
glory did not pale before that of Mas
sachusetts herself? Here to-day Sena
tors hud witnessed an assault made
by tlie other side of the chamber upon
one of their own number—one whom
tlie policy of tlie Republicans put
over the people of tlie South. The
Republicans had hail the control of
that section. They had the army,
and navy, and tlie judiciary, anu
now they undertook to lay their own
crimes at the doors of the Southern
people. If his (Mr. Ransom’s) manner
was wrong or objectionable, he could
not help it. He could not help his
i... u.
sympathized with the white people,
but to hold him accountable for the
outrages or murders committed there
was ugainst all decency. Tlie evi
dence showed that when the men
wore shot down like wild
beasts at Hamburg, Butler hud
left the place. Mr. Merrimon
quoted at length from the testimony
to show that violence did not exist in
South Carolina. He argued that the
presence of Federal troops in the State
affected the vote of that State to tlie
extent of at least 10,000 votes. Again
it was the Committee’s impression
that all tlie negroes in Soutli Carolina
voted the Republican ticket, which
was erroneous. Thousands of them
voted for Hampton. Mr. Merrimon
then argued that there wus a eon-
spiracyin South Carolina to prostitute
the army of tlie United States to carry
the elections there for the Republican
party, and Mr. Corbin was concerned
in that conspiracy.
Cameron, of Wisconsin, said the
Senator from North Carolina (Mr.
Merrimon) was fortunate enough to
get a clever Senator to pair with him
last night, and now the Senator look
ed as fresh as ever. Tlie clever Sen
ator who paired with him stayed in
tlie Senate all night, but did not vote,
therefore he (Cumeron) did not pro
pose to go into an argument now as
the Senator (Mr. Merrimon), physi
cally, had the advantage of him. He
then referred to tlie testimony, and
charged that there had been intimi
dation and violence in South Carolina
against the colored people during tlie
campaign of 187(1. He spoke at some
length of the rifle clubs organized in
the State for tlie purpose of intimida
tion.
nature, but desired to say to the Sena
tor from Massachusetts that when he
(Mr. R.) saw a man come here, who
was the peer of all, in whose veins
flowed tlie blood of Oliver Perry,
when he heard that bright name
assailed he must defend it.
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, said he desired
to appeal to the sense of justice of the.
Senator from Massachusetts to know
wliat this discussion about the Ham-
bmg trouble had to do witli the elec
tion of either Mr. Corbin or Mr. But
ler?
Mr. Cameron of Wisconsin—Has
not Gen. Butler been indicted ?
Mr. Hill—He has not been indicted.
He has asked to be, but a Republican
Solicitor said the evidence was not
sufficient.
Mr. Wadleigh again quoted from
the evidence before the South Caro
lina committee, and said that Ku-
klux outrages had not been denounced
by the Democratic party.
At 8:30 the fact was again devel
oped that no quorum was present,
md another call was made. After
some delay the Vice President an
nounced a quorum.
Edmunds moved that when the
Senate adjourned to-day it be to meet
at 2 o’clock to-morrow. Again there
was no quorum.
The absent Senators having been
summoned, a quorum finally respond
ed, and various dilatory motions from
the Republican side (if tlie chamber
for an executive session, to adjourn,
etc., were voted down.
At 0:30 a. m. Mr. Wadleigh re
sumed the floor, and Mr. Burnside
continued reading the testimony for
him until after 10 o’clock, when he
yielded the floor to Cameron of Wis
consin, who said the claims of Messrs,
Butler and Corbin, claiming seats as
Senator from South Carolina, were
so blended together that one could
not be discussed without the otlie
He proceeded to read the brief of Mr.
Corbin, claiming he had been legally
elected Senator from South Carolina.
At 11:30 a. m. Mr. Allison moved a
recess until 1 o’clock p. m. Rejected,
by yeas 21, nays 25.
Cameron, of Wisconsin, resumed
the rending of the brief in favor of
Mr. Corbin, and continued until 12
o’clock, when Wadleigh, moved to
take a recess until 2 o’clock. Reject
ed—yeas 23, nays 20.
Wadleigh, who had held the floor
since 10:30 last night, gave notice he
now yielded it.
At 12:05 Mr. Hoar,of Massachusetts,
who occupid the chair during the
temporary absence ofjthe Vice Presi
dent, said he would cull the attention
of the Senate to the fact that the
hour of 12 o’clock, which was the
hour for the daily meeting of the Sen
ate, had arrived, and in the judg
ment of the chair the legislative day
continued until an adjournment of
the Senate took place, and unless ob
jection was made it would be so con
sidered.
No objection being made Dorsey, of
Arkansas, moved to proceed with tlie
consideration of executive business.
Rejected by 22 to 25.
Merrimon, of North Carolina, said
he did not rise to enter upon a discus
sion of South Carolina affairs, as they
appeared to him as a member of tlie
committee of the Senate which vis
ited that State about a year ago. At
some future time, when the Senate
should be in a better humor, he
would give bis views. For the pres
ent lie would merely show how en
tirely false were the statements as to
intimidation in South Carolina. He
argued that the Republicans bad
been in the majority in that State.
They could do as they pleased, and
did do as they pleased. The whole
population in South Carolina entitled
to vote was 184,943 and the whole
Mississippi, asking for an appropria
tion of $100,000 to enable them to
move to Liberia.
By Robertson of Louisiana—To re
fund cotton tax.
Bv Riddle of Tennessee—Restoring

of disloyalty.
Also, repealing the act prohibiting
the payment by any officer to any

The question then recurred in the

witli Plumb, Blaine, Christfancy,

and Ferry, who would have voted in

Immediasely upon the announce
ment of the vote, Mr. Edmunds ob
jected to tlie present consideration of
the credentials, and under the rules
they were laid over.
Mr. Thurman—I move the Senate
do now adjourn.
Mr. Edmonds moved that tlie Sen
ate adjourn until to-morrow. He in
quired of the Vice President, if it
should now adjourn, it being three
o’clock Tuesday, but the legislative
day of Monday, tlie Senate having
been in continuous session, it would
be to meet when?
The Vice President replied, it would

12 o’clock.
Thurman then moved the Senate
adjourn until 8:80 to-day.
The vote was first taken on Mr. Ed
munds’ motion to adjourn and reject
ed. Yeas 2(), nays 28.
Thurman renewed the motion that
the Senate adjourn until 3:30 p. m.
to-day.
After a brief discussion upon points
of order, tlie Vice President decided
under the SOtli rule the matter from
which tlie Committee on Privileges
and Elections had just been discharg
ed must lie over on legislative day,
which would carry it over until to
morrow.
Mr. Thurman—Does the Chair rule
that if the Senate adjourns now to
meet at another hour to-day, it does
not begin the legislative day of Tues
day.
The Vice President replied he did
so rule.
Several Senators on Democratic
side to Thurman—Takean appeal.
The Vice President said the motion
of the member from Ohio (Mr, Thur
man), if agreed to, would violate a
standing rule of the Senate, which
provided the daily hour of meeting
shall be 12 o’clock.
After some further discussion Mr.
Thurman withdrew his motion t(
adjourn until 8:30 to-day, and moved
that Mr. Butler, of South Carolina,
be sworn asa Senator from that State.
Mr. Edmunds — That matter ha
gone over under my objection.
Mr. Thurman—I cun make lb
motion to-day—I don't ask to take i
up now.
The Vice President—The wliol
subject matter of these credentials lies
over under the objection, but tlie
Chair thinks the Senator from Ohio
has the right to enter the motion t(
day.

immediately after the reading of the
journal to-morrow lie would call iq
the highest matter of privileges,
touching the credentials of Mr. Kel

on Privileges and Elections.

NO BUDGET UNLESS THERE IS A RE
PUBLICAN CABINET.
Paris, November 27.—The Budget
Committee of the Chamber of Depu
ties will sit Wednesday to deliberate
upon the question refusing to vote
the budget unless President MucMu-
hon takes a Republican Cabinet. The
Chamber is expected to decide this
matter Thursday.
To-day’s Figaro says, should the
Government dissolve the Chamber, a
state of siege will only be proclaimed
in the frontier provinces, and a few
departments, purticufarly those where
the newspapers are discussing the
disposition of the army. As to the
latter, the Figaro declares it even
possible that a state of seige may be
unclaimed irrespective of tlie ques
tion of dissolution.
SMALL MANUSCRIPTS.
Note.—In Paris and other large
cities the newspapers are discussing
whether the army will support Mac-
Mahon or the Republic in case of a
conflict. During tlie two nights past,
small manscript placards insulting or
President
threatening President MacMulion
have been posted in various quarters
in Paris.

hundred persons were arrested yes

THE PROPOSED ULTIMATUM.
Special to Ent/kirer-Sun.]
Paris, November 27.—The Moni-
tcur says the Right has resolved to
take the initiative of bringing about
a discussion of the Budget. The Min
ister of Finance will take this oppor
tunity to re-afflrm the ideas of concil
iation and appeasement which pre
dominated at the formation of the
cabinet. Should the Chamber of
Deputies, nevertheless, refuse to vote
tlie budget, President MacMalion
will draw up a message rendering tlie
Senate the judge of the situation and
summoning it to choose between an
other dissolution of the Deputies and
his resignation.

New York, Nov. 22.—A special
from London says: The marriage of
Henry Fitzalan Howard, tltcenth
duke of Norfolk, to Lady Flora Hast
ings took place yesterday moiling at
the Oratory, a Cathofic retreat at
Brompton, in the sububrs to the
southwest of London. In many re
spects it was the most imixirtnnt so
cial event to the season. A vast con
course of people gathered around the
Oratory to see tlie celebrities enter
the modest-looking edifice in which
the corremonies were perfoincd.
The equipage from the neighboring
suburbs, including Kensington and
Cbclsea, were grand in tlie extreme.
Most conspicuous, was the turn-out of
the marquis und marchioness of Bute.
The four horses attached to the carri
age were
literally covered with silver
TRAPPINGS,
While the four attendants in light
livery and powdered wigs might have
been mistaken for the royal pages of
Windsor cnstle. A strong detach
ment of police kept the approaches
closed to all vehicles except those go
ing to the Oratory. The weather was
cold and rainy. As the visitors arrived
they were received by Monsigneur
Cupel for tbe most part, and conduct
ed to the chapel in which the Norfolk
family had worshiped for many years
past.’ The police arrangements were
imperfect, and the scenes of crowding
anu jostling within and without the
edifice were painful. The duke has
scarcely left tin- building for the past
two weeks, for lie began the prepara
tions for his marriage
IN A VERY UNUSUAL WAY.
On the 0th hist., both the bride and
bridegroom began what the Catholics
technically term “spiritual retreat.”
The bride entered the convent in
Kensington square, where Monseig-
licur Cupel is director; the bridegroom
retired to the Oratory, which is super
intended by the well-known ecclesias
tic, Father Faber. For three daystheso
young people laid aside ail their
worldly affairs, and devoted them
selves in [meditation and prayer to
the solemn consecration of their future
responsiblltles und duties of slate.
At the end of the "retreat," u general
confession of tlie whole lives of the
subjects was made, the communion
administered, and the retreat ended.
Usually the three days spent in re
treat are tlie three days immediate
ly preceding the wedding, but in this
cuse the noble duke und his fair fi
ance begun their preparations earlier,
as one of the superiors remarked, “to
secure the proper suntifleution for so
profound an event in their new lives.”
Tlie duke of Norfolk arrived before
the ceremonies began.

colored people were drowned in the

SAILING ORDERS.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Fortress Monroe, Nov. 27.— In
regard to the sailing of the Huron on
Friday last in the face of a storm, as
stated on Friday morning, Admiral
Tram-hard signalled to Cupt. Ryan
inquiring if bis druughtmun had
urrived, and being answered in the
affirmative, replied: “ You can go to
sea when you choose.”
Dead.
Sr. Louis, Nov. 27.—Joseph Mar
vin is dead. [Who is lie'.’—Ld.J
Marchionesses and ladies had preced
ed him. As he was ushered into the
superior’s privateapartment, he seem
ed much less a bridegroom than many
of the handsome young earls and
viscounts who were continually arriv
ing at the postern of the retreat.
The duke is short of stature and
awkward of gait. But few would take
him for the chief butler and the pre
mier duke and hereditary marshal of
England. He is u small man of that
make called an inferior presence,
but no one of his rank and blood in
the kingdom is more distinguished
for
GOOD SENSE AND GOOD JUDGMENT.
Although a keen sportsman und a lov
er of manly games, unlike many of
the English aristocracy he does not
degrade them by betting or dissipa
tion. On the contrary, all his efforts
have been in the direction of improv
ing and educating the masses of tlie
people. He aids all work of charity,
and contributes freely to the Catholic
churches of England.
It may suprise Americans to learn
that, though living in one of the fi
nest ducal residences of England, it
would be difficult to find a man of his
position, possessed of more simple
habits. The duke’s mother was not
ed for her large, warm heart and sweet
ness of temper. The duke never has
but one servunt witli him when he
travels, having
NONE OF THE LUXURIES OF THE AGE,
And his toilet case would excite the
disdain of any clerk of a dry-goods
store in Oxford street or in Broadway.
His life has been a life of devotion to
his mother and sisters, and it is suid
that this affection for them and his
desire to live witli them have hither
to been the only barriers to his mar-
rage. With this marked devotion
for bis family lie has
A STRONG RELIGIOUS FEELING.
He attends mass every morning at
8 o’clock, and he sometimes performs
the service himself. Not a week
passes that lie does not approach the
Holy Communion table. In all cases
of charity he personally examines tbe
merits of each petition, and, if lie
finds the applicant worthy, gives
liberally from $5IK> to $5;000, as the
occasion demands. It may bo said
that, though be was educated under
the tutorship of tin- celebrated Dr.
Newman of spolomie fame, the Duke
is neither a man of learning nor of
real literary tastes, though lie gives
liberally and is interested in behalf
of all causes of education. What he
lacks in intellectual culture is fully
balanced by sound, practical judg

THE BRIDE
Attracted great attention. She wore
a white satin robe trimmed witli
magnificent point lace in relief,
drooping chatelaine ornamented with
bouquets of orange blossoms, corsage
carre also trimmed with point-lace
und orange blossoms, a point-lace veil
adorned here and therewith orange
sprays. Around her neck was u rich
necklace of gems presented by the
bridegroom, while oil her head was a
sparkling tiara of diamonds, present
ed by her father. She also wore a
Sheffield necklace presented to her
by the iuarqu|s of Bute, und diamond
bracelets presented by tbe tenants of
her husband.
LADY FLORA HASTINGS
Looked cheerful and dignified. She
springs from some of the best blood
in the kingdom. Her mother, the
countess of Loduouu and tbe cousin
of Lord Bute, inherits some of the
most ancient baronetcies of the realm.
She was married to tin- second son of
Clifton of Lytliam, whose family re
tained the ancient faith until the be
ginning of this century, when the
granil-father of the present bride
apostatized. On the occasion of the
marriage of Mr. Clifton with the
countess of Loudoun, the name of
Hastings was substituted for that of
Clifton. Hence Lady Flora’s father
is known as Mr. Abner Hasting’s.
Immediately after the conversion of
the marquis of Bute, Lady Loudoun
and her daughter joined him and
Monseigneur Cupel in a journey to
the Holy Land, where, in' all proba
bility, tin-countess obtained many of
those Catholic ideas which she after
wards imparted to her daughter,
Lady Flora. About a year after her
return from Palestine, Lady Loudoun
died from a disease the seedsof which
had been planted before the holy
tour was begun. After the death (if
her mother, Lady Flora
WENT TO DONINGTON HALL,
the residence of the notorious young
Lord Hastings, whose career had
been ended and his death hastened
by dissipation. When this noble old
mansion was dismantled to pay the
debts of the mi fortunate lord, Lady
Flora went to tlie island of Bute to
stay with hoi usili, Lord Bute, and
while there she formed tlie resolution
to enter the CatbolieCliurch. She was
received in due time by Monseigneur
Cupel. Her family immediately be
gan to persecute her. The trials she
suffered owing totLicattitude assumed
by her father threw her under the
protection of the Duchess of Norfolk,
who claimed ii marriage relationship
through Lady Bute, the'daughter of
Lord Howard, brother of the present
duke of Norfolk. Out of this protec
tion
GREW THE HAPPY ALLIANCE
formed yesterday at the Oratory'. It,
is said tlie young lady’s heart was
captured long before the duke asked
her hand. She possesses nothing in
the way of personal beauty, though
her whole appearance and general de
portment betray her high origin
Like the duke, she has no special lit
erary taste or culture, but sue inlicr
ited’thc warm heart and good, pruc
tical judgment of her mother. She
is a sincere, “simple-hearted woman.”
When tbe gas in the chapel was
turned up, after au interval of partial
darkness,
THE SCENE WAS STRIKIN'
The organ pealed forth a wedding
march especially composed for tin
occasion, and the acolytes marched
into the spuce within tlie rails of the
altar. The altar was brilliantly lit
up. A coup d’eeil over tlie assembled
congregation discovered some of the
wealthiest and most influential per
sonages in Great Britain. Most, of
tbe titled ladies wore the proverbial
black silk, hut there were enough
bright head dresses, flowing, colored
ribbons, ami shilling, scintillating
diamonds to relieve the monotony
occasioned by the prevalence of the
black. Rich perfumes pervaded the
chapel during (lie entire ceremonial.
Prominent among the ladies pres
ent were the marchioness of Bute;
Lady Erinyntroiide Russell,daughter
of the duke of Bedford; Lady Maud
Grinston, Lady Dudley Stanhope,
Lady Rlpon anil Miss Kirwan.
The bishops of Southwark, Not
tingham ami Port Louis officiated,
the former intoning the first portion
of the impressive ceremony.
THE BRIDESMAIDS
wore Lady Egidia Hastings, sister of
the bride; Ladies Anna Howard and
Margaret Howard, Misses Minna
Hope, Josephine Hope and Theresa
Hope, nieces of the Duke; Lady Grin
ston, Lady Adelaide Forbes and Miss
Clinton, cousins of the bride; Miss
Alice Howard, cousin of the Duke;
Lady Ermyntroudc Russell, and the
bride’s cousin, Miss Kirwan. All the
bridcmiiids wore dresses made of ivory
poulc de sole, draped ivory broclie,
trimmed withcardimd velvet; Rubens
hats, trimmed with cardinal velvet,
and cream-colored and cardinal
feathers. Each iiriHemaid also wore
gold bracelets, studded with pearls
and ornamented with a monogram of
the Duke and Duchess in pearls and
diamonds, surmounted with coronets
in diamonds. These were presents
from the bridegroom.
THE BRIDE’S TRAVELING COSTUME
was superb. It consisted of a robe of
sapphire Lyon's velvet, white ostrich
feather, feather mull', damask-white
felt hat trimmed with sapphire vel
vet, and white sapphire feather.
The bride was given away by her
father, Mr. Aimer Hastings. The
best man was the lion. F. Howard,
only son of Lord Howard ol'Glossop.
It was especially noticed that neither
the Queen nor any of the members of
tlie royal family sent presents or con
gratulations, although among the in
vited guests at the duke’s residence in
St. James’ square were the marquis
of Lome and the Princess Louise.
The Bishop of Nottingham ; Lord
and Lmlv <>do Russell, Mgr. Talbot,
Mr. Walter of the Times, Lord ami
Lady Walter Campbell, Lord Bca-
eonsfleld, Mgr. Cupel and many oth
er of the leaders of rank and fashion
were also present. The fcclingon the j
part of the Queen was a united for
on the theory of the bride's change of
religion, or liu old scandal, which has
long since been forgotten by nine-
tentlis of the elite.
THE RARE AND COSTLY PRESENTS TO
THE
display i
father, gave a superb tiara of bril
liants in a graduated series of nine
stars, each having eight points, the
central star being three inches in di
ameter. The Duchess of Norfolk,
mother of tlie bridegroom, presented
