No bit of society nows ever created prenter surprisj than the nnnouncimcnt of the engugemout of Mbs Nellie Wren- slmll Grant, daughter of the President of the United States,to Algernon Charle* Frederick Sartoris, a British subject. The prospective groom was a son of Edward Saitoris, of Hampshire, England. His mother was Adelaide Kemble, daughter of Charles and sister of Fanny Keniblo th; actress. The young man had been educated in England and Germany, and ab mt 1870 came to the United States to seek his fortune. In 1872, on the steamship Russia, while Miss Nellie was returning a trip to Europe, the couple met formed one of tiiose unaccountable called by women “love af¬ which terminated in courtship marriage, At that time Nellie had seventeen. She had enjoyed a of , exceptional . social . opportunities and had everything to nuke a maiden in teens settled. Her father had been the chieftain of the powerful armies of United States,and was the conqueror of the rebellion. He then had reached the pinnacle of power ami grandeur, the scat of the C’iiief Magistrate of his coun¬ try. As a child of six to ten years with her mother Nellie often visited her father’s headquarters iu the field. Dur- mg the movements and strife: of armies she often heard the thunder of artillery, the rain of musketry and the clash of arms. At tho capital she was the pet of the social world. She had received dis- tingutshed attentions from old and young. Her debut was one of the events of the social history of the Executive Mansion. Thc sous and daughters of the most eminent statesmen and officials were her companions. In her home she was the idol of her father. in Washington society Mr. Sartoris was only a figure as the friend of Miss Grant. Ho possessed none of thc finer social qualities of young men. He was given to sporting, and much of his time wns pissed at the marine barracks. Ilis conduct there was a matter of common talk, ilis ill-considered and usually ir¬ responsible comments among the officers about Miss Grant, the lady to whom he was known to be engage I, in disparage¬ ment of her intelligence and education, often almost led to chastisement. It wns only bis relations at the Executive Mansion which compelled them to sup¬ press their ind gnat ion and tolerate his presence. When it became known to Mrs. Grant and the President that tho attentions of Mr. Sartoris meant marriage there was a deep sense of disappointment, to refer to the matter mildly. The President, in speaking on the subject to a friend, in a most feeling manner, expressed his regret lhat the object of his (laughter’s affections was not an American citizen. “The humblest in tho land,” he said, “rather •him the subject of a foreign State.” He tried to dissuade his daughter, tiis idol¬ ized child, from so mistaken a st p. Her determination was fixed, As the Presi- dent said ut thc time, “Rather than have lin y public comment I yielded consent, though with a wounded heart." Ihe mmriage wai the talk of society f°r weeks, and tlie event itself wns the most brilliant ever witnessed within the "alls of the Executive Mansion. It was the seventh affair of the kind which had '(furred there. Miss Todd, a relative of Mrs. Madison, in 1811, was there made ihe wife of John G. Jackson, a U'pre- (rntative in Congress from Virginia. Muric Monroe, thc daughter of the Presi- dont, in the Green Room, in March, 1H20, at the age of 17, was married to her first cousin, Samuel L. Gouverneur, of New York. It there, iu 1830. was Quincy Adams, J-., married ' s C0US * n Miss Johnson. During the > administration of President Jackson, a '-lighter o| Major Lewis, of Nashville, ,ri r ried to M. Paquot, of Mar- 1 "'I" nltei'vards Minister F'ranceto die Unite . of I " ,!:1 tand also Miss Erien, ) 1 he nwame*. President’ niece, to M . Polk, of The next wecUUng was the marriage of President Tyler’s daughter, Letitia, to William Waller, Williams¬ burg, Va., in the East Room, June 81, 1842. The next was the marriage of Mias Nellie Grant, and since during ,.nd l, Frnnccs Folsom. The wedding of Miss Nellie Grant then then 10, 111 and and Mr Mi. Sartoris, Hirtnrw on 28, took miu- place i m the Last lioom at 11 a. m., May 31, 1874. The floral marriage bell and dec- orations were superb. Tho bridesmaids were the daughters 3 of the most distin- guished ... personages in . the land. They were Miss Edith Fish, daughter of the Sccretary of Slate; Miss Bessie Conk- York; Miss Sollie Frelmghuyscn, (laugh- ter of the Senator from New Jersey; Miss Lizzie Porter, daughter of the Ad- miral of the navy; Miss Minnie Sherman, daughter - , . . . of . the ,, Gcneial „ , of . the army; Miss Annie Barnes, daughter of the Bur- geon General of the army; Miss Fannie Drcxcl, daughter of A. J. Drexel, ol Philadelphia, and Miss Sludge Dent, cousin to the bride. The ceremony was conducted with great elegance. The trous- S5.au had never been excelled at the capital. j The wedding dejeuner was iu keeping. Flags of two nations and flowers adorned the table. The service was of gold and I the menu was printed in gilt on white | silk. The guests were only the highei officials and their ladies and a very fewi intimate friends. After the dejeuner the President and Mrs. Grant and a few friends nccompauied the bridal couple by ! special tr into New York. The Presi- dent , gave his idolized daughter away a’ | departure the altar and the bade next day her Godspeed for her residence on her j on foreign shores. _ „ .. , | ...... . resl< en was no lnscaM 1 e ° no fact f that .v . suchi h.s daughter a marriage as was about to make might be liable in the future to many complications. Certain papers were drawn up looking ”, to the in- tcrests , of f any children ....... that might . be , born of the union, lhcse were executed between the Secretary of State, Air. Fish, and the English minister, Sir Edward Thornton. The groom was uot possessed of a competence in his own right. The moderate estates of his widoW ed mother, upon whom he lives, are in thc south of England, near Southampton. The daugh¬ ter of a President carried no social rank in England and none was accorded the couple above the middle classes, to which the groom’s family belonged. After 12 years this once favored daughter of America America lives lives in in obscuntv obscurity and anil nracticallv practically neglected and almost abandoned by hei lmsband. Three children living—Alger- non Fid ward, about eight; Vivian May, about six, mid Rosemary, about four— are with the mother and alone console her for the unhappiness of her life. The husband passes his timo in London, where he is supposed to reside at South Villas, Campden Hill road, Kensington West. During the last illness of General Grant he longed to see his Nellie. The misfortune of her lot. had embittered his life even more than his business troubles. It was only with much persuasion that she was permitted to return, even on such a sad errand of duty to o parent. But her children, to whom she was so do- voted as to endure everything, were not allowed to come with her; in fact, were held, it might be said, as hostages for her return. It is doubtful had they been with her whether she would ever again have left her native land and the shelter of her mother’s roof. The gratuity allowed her by her mother has long been acceptable. There is only too much truth in the sad stories which come over of the misery of Nellie Grant’s married life, but details must be omitted. It is now expected that she will join her mother during the present year.— Philadelphia Times. The Briny. One of the first things a boy will do on arriving at the seashore is to taste the water, to see for himself if a whole ocean can be salt. If a box six feet deep were filled with sea water, and allowed to evaporate under the sun, there would be two inches of salt on the bottom, Tak- ing the average depth of the ocean to be three miles, tiiere would be a layer of pure salt 230 feet thick on the bed of the Atlantic, If all the seas could be dried up, there would be 1,000,000,000 cubic miles of common salt, Where a fresh water river empties into the sea, the surrounding water is of course more free from saft; and where there is no out¬ let and continual evaporation, as in the Dead Sea, Palestine, and Salt Lake, Utah, there is correspondingly more sedi¬ ment to a thousand parts. In the Dead Sea the water is so dense that n man’s body will easily float.

All beggars are generally persons whose poverty, to a large extent, is due to themselves. \fti*r n irhtfall snmp of these render many of the more frequent- ed streets of the city almost unsafe to single pedestrians. You cannot pass the City J Hall, Union or Madison square in the evening . without ... , , being . accosted . i u by men and women with piteous appeals for a few peunies “to buy a cup of warm coffee or to p,y for »i,ht' L, Mgiog.” l.ui.t f. summer, ’ in must c ’ . meal furnishes the pretended basis for the supplication. Upper Broadway, Fourteenth street, Sixth avenue, and Twenty-third „ ....... street are equally infested after dusk. Nearly all of these beggars are paupers—not all, for some occasion- ally beg who cannot otherwise relieve ~ their poverty, . , but . probably , . , ninety-nine . . out of every hundred beggars prefer beg- gary to work, to even such work as they could perform. The worthy poor seldom tVi.rvjjv. beg. Out of every hundred beggars in- festing the streets and visiting the houses of the city, probably not more than one is a proper subject for alms. Downright beggary to the professional is a winter trade. Most vagabonds in the city never resort to it in summer, and only on suitable days iu winter. | They wait for a bitterly cold day, with a I northwest wind driving snow or sleet be- fore it. Then they sally forth in the most ragged garments they can pick up. On such days, at about 8 o’clock in the morning, they post themselves at such places L down town where business men Cork. hurling to ,ho ir offloc. and stores. There they assume the proper begging pose—lower their heads ( bend their shoulders, contract their breasts, and shiver along, glancing neither to the right nor to the left, but keeping their eyes fixed to the ground and chafing their fingers as they limp past. In appearance they are the incarnation of all that is furlorn. They seldom get to the end of a block without being stopped by some one who thrusts some¬ thing into their hands. Most give pennies; some, however, give five or ten cent coins. Towards noon the professional beggars quit the down town districts and j traverse the busy streets in the neighbor- i hood of the principal dry goods estab¬ lishments up town, always taking good , care to direct their course against the living stream of pedestrians. They con- , tinue their stioll, nevei asking but always receiving, until about 4 o’clock in j the afternoon. Then they go back down town s-ain to catch the business peop’e .° , home from . the. t L„;.. nflW offices and nd streaming stores.
