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.

He fiber' of the Mun ind is a great man e, as he says, he i vocate of tem per - now employs him- self in travelling about giving lectures; 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, all the aristocracy. 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. The British Teiegrah Bill. The Bill for the purchase of the telegraph lines throtfghoot Great Bri- tain is a measure of great importance.

The Biblical decree of en- mitybetween the serpent and the sons of men appears to hold good everywhere except' in the Amazonian regions, where truce is proclaimed, and serpent and citizen abide together in peace. The 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 to the fabulous `ages, it would not be quite safe to trust small black babies alone with them. But tough and in- digestible adults are perfectly safe. We asked to see "the snake" at a warehouse which we visited. He was haled from his lair in some back room or;closet by a negro, who held hon by gripping his neck just behind liis head. The snake appeared to be fanlilar with his rather ignominous mode of wearing in society, . as he only expressed his em- otions in a aeriesof fatuous, and imbe- cile wriggles, and when released coiled himself deliberately upon the floor and.
