He reached Paris just as Nopoleon had
attained the summit of imperial gran¬

favorable. Barlow had been an ad¬
the mirer relentless of Napoleon, despotism but wfyen he saw
and the ; nsa¬
tiable love of war which marked his
sway his opinion was soon changed- He
beheld the Emperor make his grand
mistake in (he invasion of |lassia, and
he was in Paris when the reports of the
horrors of the retreat reached the
.French capital. During the retreat
Napoleon, in his extremity, desired a

A Feat of Memory.
One of the most remarkable feats of
memory is not recorded in the book*,
though it came before the public in
f ular manner in January, 1847. At
ney, Australia, a prisoner set up as
his defense on trial an alibi, claiming
to have been, at the time the complain¬
ant was robbed, at home in his own
hut listening to the recital of Horace
Walpole’s which novel, “The Old Baron,"
a man named Lane had, with
Other novels, committed to memory, th«
declaration matter of time that being disposed of by the
Lane’s recitation took
two hour* and a half. The Attorney
General declared that this was incredi¬
ble, whereupon Lane,clearing his throat
began,“In the good the time of King Henry when
Duke Humphrey returned from
the wars in the Holy Land, where he
had been sojourning for a number of
years, there lived”—aud had recited
several pages when the Attorney Gen¬
eral told aim to stop—he was quite
satisfied. But the counsel for the de¬
fense was not, and insisted as the vera¬
city of his witness had been questioned
the witness should be allowed to set
himself right, also to prove the allega¬
tion novel. as to “Do time by reciting the whole
down evidence?” you expect me to take it
as stammered the
Chief Justice, in great dismay, and
and finally Lane a compromise was arrived at,

The prisoner waa acquitted.

Carriage Chureh BeUe^ New at Old York. Trinity
The Wedding of Miss Katie Smith and the
Rev. J. B. Wetherell.
Trinity Churc^ or the morning of
the 2d inst., was the scene of a brilliant
wedding. ed take * The place ceremony 11:3.0, was announc¬
to at hot long be¬
fore that hoqr carriages began to roll up
to the doors, and when the bridal par¬
ty entered the church every seat was
taken. Elaborate floral decorations
gave the chancel almost the appearance
of a hot-houso. The candelabrums
seemed to be supported by pyramids of
rare flowers. Pending the Rrriyal of
the dered wedding selections party, Henry of Carte ren¬
some music upon the
organ, among which were the grand
march from Raff’s “Leonore Symph*
ony,” the march from Wagner’s *Tann
hauser,” the “Bridal Song,” and a
march by Meyerbeer.
At 11:35 the choir, followed by Bis¬
hop Littlejohn and the Rev. Dr. Mor¬
gan Dix, entered the church singing
hymn No. 312, and shortly after they
had taken their positions the joyful
peals of the organ announced the en¬
trance of the bridal couple, the Rev. J.
B. Wetherell and Miss Katie Smith,
the grand-niece of Mrs. A. T. SteWart
and the daughter of J. Lawrece Smith.
Mendelssohn's Wedding Maroh rolled
bridal through the arches of the church as the
party walked slowly np the aisle.
The ceremony was read by Bishop
Littlejohn the and Dr. Dix. The father
of bride gave her away. The brides¬
maids were the Misses Smith, sisters of
the bride. The bride and her maids
wore white, and each carried a bouquet.
At the close o? the service the party
were driven to the home of the bride’s
mother, where a few friends were
received.
The bride and groom have left New
York for a short trip, and ou their re¬
turn will sail for Europe, January 23d,
in the Celtic. Among the audience
Stewart were many distinguished persons. Mrs.
was not present.
The presents given to the bride were
costly and elegant; Mrs. Stewart gave
her a camel’s-hair shawl and a diamond
necklace. Among other presents were
pearl earrings and necklace from the
groom, and silver tea service from Mr.
and Mrs. Hilton.

A FargstM Bridegroom.
An old story has it that the young
him lady betrothed to Isaac Newton left
day. a the life-long absent-minded bachelor because, one
took her little finger punch philosopher
to down
the ashes in his pipe. Tha careless
Western man here mentioned earned
pretty nearly the same fate:
An absent-minded gentleman in St.
Paul. Minn., reoently applied to the
county clerk for a marriage license.
‘‘What’s the l.inde’s name ?’’ asked the
official. The bridegroom paused, cough¬
ed, stuttered, sneezed, blew his nose,
scratched his head, and finally stam¬
mered,—
"“I can’t recall it, but I’ll go and ask
Her.”
Having obtained the desired infor¬
mation, he returned and paid the fees
for the license. A few days afterwards
he took his bride to a minister’s house
and procliimed his anxiety to be mar¬
ried on the spot. The minister said he
would marry them if they had pro¬
cured a license. The groom rummaged
in his pockets, and found it not. He
had forgotten to bring it with him.
“I must have the warrant," said the
minister, solemnly.
The bride handed her prospe ective
lord the keys of his trunk, and h e set
out for his house to fetch the document.
The marriage ceremony was finally per¬
formed, but the lady was ill at ease.
“What comfort can I have,” she
mused, “if he can’t remember any¬
thing ?” She forsook him that very af¬
ternoon, and hastened home to her
mother.
Worthy to be Loved. the —Some Count Eng¬ of
lish gentlemen visiting
Toulouse’s gallery, the servant in at¬
tendance, said : “My lord is the best
of masters; but, alas! he grows very
oid, and I fear he can’t last long. I
would, with all my heart, give ten
years out of my own life to prolong his,
if it could be done.” Upon he seeing made the the
party affected to whom
declaration, he added: “That this was
no great merit to him; that most of his
fellow servants, he believed would will
inglv do the same; that the goodness
of their master to them, and the great¬
ness of their affection for him was so
remarkable and so well known, that a
friend of the Count once said to him:
“I don’t know what it is you do to
•charm all the people about you; but
though you have two‘huOdred servants,
I believe there is scarcely any one of
them that would not die to save your
life.’ ‘That may be,’ replied the Count,
‘but I would rather lose two hundred
lives than that one of them should suf¬
fer my account. mi
