DIAMONDS AND VELVET AND GOLD
AND UNLIMITED bPLENDOR.
8t. Pktbbsborg, January 2A-—The mar
riage ceremony of the Duke of Edinburg
ana Princess Marie commented.in the pres
enoe of a vast assemblage of guests in the
Winter Palace. The various galleries were
filled with ladies sumptuously attired. The
prev.ilingcostumes were particularly Russian
—the ladies being mainly in velvet and dia
monds, and the men were in uniforms, with
the exception of the American diplomatists,
and after the assembly a procession was
formed with the grand Equerries and Cham
berlains and ofllceisof tee Court leading.
Then came the Emperor and Empress Imperi
al,Prince and Princess, Princess of Wales and.
the Princes Imperial of Germany and Den
mark and Prince Arthur; then the bride and
bridegroom,who wore the Russian naval uni
form. The bride was splendidly apparelled
in a long crimson velvet muuilc trimmed with
ermine. Her train was norne by four pages.
Then followed an immense procession, the.
f Aiil v, Princes, Princesses and court officials.
The Price ess of Wales was dressed in dark
crimson velvet, with diamond coronet and
collar and pearl necklace. The Imperial
German Princess was dfessed in the same
sty le. The dress of the Kussiun Princess was
of blue velvet anil gold, Prince Arthur in the
uniform of theR flefirigadeacungasgrooms
man All wore silver weddiug favors.
The procession upon reaching the Mission
Chuich was received by the metropolitan
head of the Russian Church, the Holy tJynod
bearing crosses and sacred vessels of holy
water. The Emperor conducted the bride
and bridegroom to tbe middle of tbe church,
assuming his station with the Empress, im
mediately behind. Around the bridegroom
stood Prince Arthur and the Grand Dukes.
The wedding ring*, borne on golden salvers,
were deposited on the altar temporarily by
the Imperial Confessor until placed on the
fingers of the bride and bridegroom. The
magnificent Chapel was illuminated with in
numerable wax candles. The floor was cov
ered with a velvet crimson and gold carpet,
and tbe pillars and altar covered with gold.
The Greek marriage ceremony was unique.
In the absence of music chants and intoned
prayers were given during tbe service,
crowns were held suspended over the heads
of fibe bridal pair,Prince Arthur holding the
crown our tbe bead of the Duke of Edln^
SSf Prince Senagus that over the
Tbe ’rr.perial Confessor tlfcn saifl’l
Thou servant ot God, Alfred Ernest Ed
ward, are crowned for this handmaiden of
God, Marie Alexandria, in the name of -the
Father, Bon and Holy Ghost.’’
Then the epistle to the Ephesians, first
Chapter and 20th to 23d verses, were read
After the reading w»s concluded tbe gos
pel of the marriage at Canaan, in Gallilqp,
was read. Then the crowns were removed.
The marriage couple walked through around
the ralsdas, holding to the type of the con
fessor’s robe with one hand and & candle in
the other.
At the conclusion of this ceremony the
sacramental cup was brought forward,
blessed and oartaken of by the bridal pair,
the confessor presenting the cross, which
they both kissed. r ' •
The deacon gave an admonition on mar
riage duties afterwards. The chant “Glory
to the Lord” was sung, concluding with the
benediction. Thus ended the Greek service.
The procession then slowly formed pro
ceeding to the hall of Alexander for tne an-
gelkan service. Dean Stanley officiated.
The hall was rather small. The walla were
decorated with battle pictures. Dean Stanley,
who, during the Greek service wore his Epis
copal Doctor of Divinity hood and gown
now appeared at the altar wearing his Episco
pal surplice with the jewelled collar
of the order of the Bath around his neck.
He was assisted by two English clergymen.
The members of the English colony, includ
ing bankers and merchants, gathered at the
lett of the altar. Conspicuous among them
weretBovemor Jewell, the American Minis
ter, Lord Lofras, the English Minister, and
the corps diplomatque. Especially notice
able was Prince Gortschakoff, lor his vener
able appearance surrounded by leading mem
bers of the Russian nobility gathered on the
right side of the altar. Episcopal chams
were sung by Russian chorister lads in long
crimson dresses.
When the marriage procession entered, the
bride walked between her father and the
bridegroom, with Prince Arthur behind.
Upon the conclusion of the service Dean
Stanley warmlv congratulated the couple.
Several Roman* Catholic dignataries were
present during the ceremony at the English
Chapel. The Empress being a ' con
firmed invalid and very much fatigued,
sat down and seemed to be
overcome with emotion, holding her hand
kerchief, and when the married couple came
to salute her, criticism wa3 made ot the ap
pearance of the bridegroom. His reserved,
solemn manner created an unfavorable im
pression. The Prince and Princess of Wales,
affability was cheered on their coming on the
street alter the ceremony. A banquet,was
given at the palace, Madame Patti singing.
Subsequently, * ball was given at St.
George’s Hall, at which the grand Russian
polonaise was donned by the Imperial fam-
ily and guests. At the conclusion of the
ball the bridal couple marched to the bridal
chamber, accompanied by the Emperor and
officers of the court. After the retirement
ot ibe couple the festivities were continued:

WORKINGMEN’S MASS MEETING
FAILURE.
New York, January 24.—The mass meet

ITlra. Attorney-General Williams.

Mrs. Williams has after all been the head
and front of the offending. Into her early
history has been inserted the phalanges afore-
said, and her shortcomings have been in
spected by the light of social magnifying
glasses, causing her verdict to go forth to the
world, “Mene, Mene, Texel, Upharbin?”
And, according to a flat ou her later life,
“Mrs. Williams’ carriage has stopped her
husband’s way to tbe Chief Justiceship.”
She is a woman above the medium height,
withaBmall, well-shaped head, crowned with
wavy black hair, a straight, rather thin nose,
large, melting dark eyes, arched over with
delicate eyebrows, rather too much color ior
the proverbial spiriiucUe of American wo
men ; a long, while, full throat, and neck bust
and arms bordering on the supeib, with a
slight touch of Cleopatra voluptousness.
She carried herself easily, graeefu’iy
proudly. Thus she appears at the
uge trembling somewhere between the
late thirties and early forties. Her manners
are unexceptionably cordial, and her dress
ing rich, bhe must have been very striking
as a girl,'of the prononce type, with startling
boldness of beauty given by . the" contrast
between black hair and dark fringed eyes,
with clear, fair skin and heightened color.
But age and association have toned the con
trast down to mellower tints, and her won
derfully quick intuitions have adapted her
to the various conspicuous positions which
she has easily and naturally filled.
Her early history is as full of romance as
one bf Dumas’ novels, and* I dare Rho’da
Broughton to produce a story to eclipse it.
At sixteen she married agtinst hsr parents’
wishes a man whose subsequent treatment of
ner vindicated tbe family’s disapproval aud
her application for divorce. These were the
days when her head strong, impetuous na
ture was strong within her, and her own will
her only law. Following its dictates, the
drifted westward, perchance for adventure,
peradventure in hopes of a fortune. There,
girl-woman as she was, with the waves of
self still surging unsubdued, after
teaching music for a while, she consented to
bow her neck a second time to an unhappy
matrimonial yoke. Her second husband, Mr.
George, was a driver on one of the line of
stages crossing the plains, and proved to be a
good-for-nothing fellow, who frequently i

it that Isaiah was an Irishman. Its reason

early in the morning they were all dead
corpses.’ We have often heard of ghosts,
but have always been most afraid of live
ghosts—we should like to see some live

There are two things that always pay—
working and waiting. Either is useless with
out the other. Both, united, are invincible
and inevitably triumphant. He who waits
without working is simply a man yielding to
sloth and despair. He who works without
waiting is ever fitful to be in his striving, and
misses results by impatience. He who works
steadily and waits patiep'ly may h^ve alorg
journey before him, But at the close he will
find his reward.

Many men and women complain that their
lives are dull and dreary. It ia to be feared
that their aspirations are too high in regard
to work and pleasure. They scorn the small
work that, is put into their bands. At least,
it is free from the anxieties and responsibili
ties which attend great duties. They have
more tirr. j for self-government. To be well
fitted lor the-latter puts them on. a plane
with Cm s.r and Alexander. Jn regard to
pleasure, why should they not cultivate the
sweet though humble flowers that grow in

C^“Mr. Cashing takes his defeat good-
naturediy, but intimates that he has been
worse slandered than Williams. He hts no
recollection of writing the letter to Jefferson
Davis which has defeated him; but says if
he did write it the copy published is either
garbled or a forgery. He thinks of prosecut
ing some of the papers that published the
letter.
When President Grant was shown
Cusniog’s letter to Jefferson Davis, he glanced
over it and remarked that there was nothing
startling in it, and nothing disparaging to Mr.
(inching. Calling attention to the date of
the letter, he said: “Why,I know of good
Union Generals who served under me in the
West that were knee deep in secession when
that letter was a month, old. I do not see
anything remarkable in it.”
