<,lti:vr CHINESE WEDDING. \,n >1 Ceremonies at. the Marring* of the I>urgbter of Marquis Tseng. . . (i ,i correspondence China MaTl.l The marriage of the youngest 'laugh er of Marquis Tseng lias taken place. ,; r< * a t {‘reparations were made for this (lV ,, n t. Numerous and valued presents been pouring in unon bride and bridegroom. The usual procession of . jroodfi of the bride took place and u witnessed by most of the foreign community. The cortege was headed by four servants on horseback, bound round t];.* chest with silk bands, followed by the bride’s brother on horseback, and he ;i - tin was followed by a c mmissary of jiolii - (* with four officers, two carrying cfoii and two bamboos; then came a j. ; i' band of musicians, followed by car tinges uith 120 tables containing the presents, and the rear was brought up by u host of friends in carts. The furni rniv and heavy goods were not, as iH ■ is’i;*!. carried through the streets. The ~, v home of the bride adjoins her old one. Some days previous to this a similar j )T , .ession, although probably less im posing, took place of the goods of the b rid'groom. On Saturday, May 5, the ,lr preceding the marriag;e, over 500 vj >ij of congratulation were paid to the M ;i ■ 11 nis by the high officials of the city, on Sunday fhe marriage was celebrated, ,i ion Tuesday a grand reception of all tM* foreigners in Pekin took place. The , , ne was very charming and all were in .-.•slacies over the* Chinese officials and la dies, friends of the Tseng family, were present to witness the reception. The bride in her handsome and costly mar ri me robes looked lovely, and every one admired the exquisite taste of tiie ar rangements. A photograph, 1 believe, has been taken of the canopy and hand some scrolls in silk and red cloth. The ip jest, s were permitted to view the apart ments and [‘resents of the bride. The marriage augurs well for the happy cou ple. the parents having exercised the greatest wisdom ia the selection of ason in-law —character and ability, not posi tion or wealth, having actuated them in their choice. The consent of the bride "o the arrangement was also sought and obtained-. This is anew and important innovation. Jle Waved tb* Bandana, New York Star.l The close of Revivalist Harrison’s work in the James street M.E. church on Tuesday night was marked by some ex -1 remelv lively and picturesque features. The principal event was what is known as a u Walk Around Jerusalem.” Some 1.0 0 persons participated in this walk. As seen from the gallery the walk ; - ided a kaleidoscopic panorama of '"lor. There were women dressed in ‘v! ’f, yellow, red, green and blue. There “’ •e bonnets of every conceivable style ;ml shade, and all tile fair wearers i-rowded into eddies of humanity like a Ucarn tha* is dammed in their haste to 'i :tl e the hand of the revivalist as he ad at the head of the middle aisle.

He caught the • ,e immediately and began waving his I kerchief, as he did so strikingup the "S-v.>et By-and By.” One by one all < '.'ei the assembly white handkerchiefs : • aa 11 to flutter like doves brooding over ’he "angregation. Then came a lull be •> the verses, and Mr. Harrison said: 1 hat’s all very well, but I notice there !s ‘me man waving a red handkerchief.” Sine enough, just inside the altar an I ’• tiiiisiastic Democrat was waving a red >j J bandana. He didn't stop, either, "H'lithe revivalist called attention to ! !Ul h hut kept, right on, and from all over 1 ‘ house like tin* patter of rain upon ’hi roof came the applause of 1,000 per sons. *he music and the waving were Vo ' ed, but the red bandana man was the to hide the banner of his religion and ! is politics alike in bis pocket.

Some days ago the New York Herald began the publication of a record of de falcations in this country for the last ten years. The showing is appalling, and yet it is doubtful if a complete record for any year has been given. The statement for 1883 shows that during that year em bezzlers and defaulters got away with $2,334,430, the heaviest embezzlement being SOOO,OOO, and the People’s bank of New York being the sufferer. The sum of $400,000 was stolen from the London and San Francisco insurance company, and several embezzlers got off with from SIOO,OOO to $200,000. The total amount stolen for the six years for which the record has beefi given is nearly $16,- 000,000, and when the ten years’ record is finished, the sum will no doubt reach $25,000,000 or $30,000,000, for defal cations are by no means on the decrease in this country. Nothing more forcibly directs attention to the need of an extradition treaty with Great Britain than the figures which the Herald is printing. Such a treaty would not put an end to defalcations, but it would put a powerful check upon them. As the matter stands, danger continually threatens every bank and business house in the country. The person who is sharp enough to hide his tracks until he gets to Canada with a big amount of stolen money may there enjoy his booty unmo lested. In this state of affairs, the temp tation which presents itself to those handling other people's money is fre quently so great that it cannot be re sisted. A treaty covering the ground was ne gotiated by the present administration, but a Republican senate, shutting its eyes to the public interest, found a pre text for postponing and perhaps pre venting its ratification, presumably be cause the Republican majority of that body does not intend that the Demo crats shall receive the credit of such a measure. An examination of the history of this country will show that very few men of the name of Smith have ever been prom inent in the national affairs of this country. In fact the Smith family would appear to have kept very much out of politics since the foundation of tin? re public. There are. five Browns in the present Congress, four Andersons, three douses, three Allens, three Hendersons, three Hopkinses, three O’Neills, three Thomases, three Stewards, three Wilsons* three Campbells and only two Smiths. Last Congress it*was worse for the fami ly. There was not one of the name in the Senate or House. Two to One on Cleveland. From the New York Sun.] John J.Mahoney,a retired bookmaker, bet $20,000 to SIO,OOO yesterday with Frank T. Huntoon, of the Hoffman Club, om Cleveland’s re-election. The agreement was drawn up and placed in the hands of Lueien O, Appleby, of the bookmaking firm of Appleby & Johnson. It provides for the putting up of the cash on October 27, Mahoney’s forfeit in case of failure being fixed at $5,000 and Huu toon's at $2,500. Better Than Suicide.
