Two swell weddings have ,larely to-.
leen place in London--{tb at Qtt the Mer -
q us of Huntley and Miss Amy .brooks
was celebrated= at Westminster Abbey.
The bridesmaids were attired in robes
of white poiilt de soile trimaa d gau-
fires of tarletan, with trains -en papier,
a wreath of ivy falling over one should-
er' and hefting up the train; bonnets of
tulle with ivy leaves. They each wore
exquisite lockets; gold with coinet
monogram of je-Yels, the gifts of the
gide-groom- The favors were most pic-
turesquely arranged in°fine white and
silver corbeilles, and were distributed
by the five youngest bridesmaids. The
bride were e a dress with corsage and to-`
pique Louis XV. of the richest white
satin duchesse, trimmed ' -with superb
Brussels point lace, forming a train, sur-
mounted by wreaths of orrange blossoms.
The couronoue was of orange blossoms,
over which fell a veil of the same choice
lace. She also wore a mngnificient
necklece of a single row of diamonds,
with ear -rings to ,;or respond, the gift of
her father, and as a broach, a remark --
able diamond jewel of great intrinsic
and historic ,value. 'The bride was con-.
Glu ;ted to the choir by her father,, and
WAS there received by the noble bride
groom. The ceremony was performed
by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of
Oxford, assisted by the Very. Rev. the
Dean- of Westminisfei and the Rev.
James Slade. - Their Royal. Highnesses
hnesses
the Prince and Princess -of Wales, and
the Princess Mary . Adelaide, and his
Serene Higeness the Prince of Teck.
honored the bridal party es ith their
presence. t. Pauls, Knightsbridge,
was the scene of the xnarriNge of Vis-
count Doone and Lady Cecilia Moly-
neux. The bridesmaids, twelve in num
ber, wore dresses of le hite muslin and
lace, looped up with heartsease. The
Rev, F. G Hopwood, A. M., uncle` of-
the
fthe bride, performed theecereniony, as-
sisted by the Zion. and Rev. Robert
Liddell, A. M , the incumbent of St.
Paul's. The religious rite concluded,
the bride and bridegroom went to the
vestry for the registration of the mar
riage. The register was attested by the
contracting couple, the Earl of Sefton
and Lord Hyde, and was also signed
"Albert Edward" by the Prince of
Wales, and -George by the Duke. ' of

and while here the other night related
his experience of "Scotoh wine," which•
beverage was the only tie ebywhich he had
ever fallen from reetitud It was a
great feast .in New Brunsw'ck to which
he had been invited as a represen.,itive
Indian. All the great men of the land
Were present governors.. generals of
members of parliament and
the army,

After dinner, they pressed him to
have a social glass, and out of'courtesy
he reluctantly consented.. ` But one
glass was not enough. He • bad no
sooner drained it when he wanted an-
other and another, until his blood seem-
ed all on fire, and gave him sensations
which he never felt before. He -was
=ild, gloriously drunk in fact "ii jun all
over 1" He whooped, helloed,.:.. sung,
danced, and got beside himself. 'He
tool more "Scotch wine" and felt very
unsteady—his brain whirled—the floor
seemed standing up before his eyes, and.
to wish to strike him in the face. At
last his legs gave out and he remem-
bered iio more • until; on waking next
morning, he found himself in bed. Isis
temples' thumped and thumped as if
they would burst, and dark specks like
Musical notes swam( through space be-
fore him. He tried to rise but fell back
exhausted ; he strove to call out, but his
tongue cleaved to his mouth. The
house seemed to be dancing a hornpipe.
By a desperate bffort he arose • in bee,
and saw a vision he will never forget;
At the fax end of the i. oom appeared a
dark and loathsome pis, out of which
issued black smoke and tongues of lur-
id flame. The bed seemed drawing
nearer and nearer towards it. 'He
clutched to it with a desperate grasp,
and in his delirium called out for assist-
ance. He thought that Satan 'had come
for him before his time ! He tried to
walk, but his legs refused to support
hien. • He got down on all fours. out.
was still helpless, falling and staggering
from side to side. He could not even
crawl. • All his faculties seemed to
desert him, and he ,vas quite helpless.
He resolved to drink no more Scotch
wine, and has reltictantly kept his
word. It was several days before he re-
covered from bis spree. He thinks if
all fashonible folks who get drunk on
Scotch wine. having a similar experience
they, must be -singularly strong in appe-
tite or fond of self -torment. Perhaps
bis iit',agination is too vivid.

snakes are of the boa constrictor
species, but, so far as 1 can learn, they
generally refrain from constricting or
molesting the inhabitants. They catch
rats and "gobulate" them, and now and
then a monkey gradually dissapears.
Perhaps, as Herculean exploits belong

quite safe to trust small black babies
