DAUGHTER OF THE SENATOR. Washington (May 4) Correspondence of the New York Sun. Honest Miners' Camp was alive to night. Senator Stewart's grand new houss, w'hich is so properly called castle Stewart in popular parlance, was the scene of one of the most brilliant and gorgeous ntertain ments ever given in this city. Both bride and groom being well known in society excited an unusual degree of interest. There is, perhaps, not another lady in the city of her own age who is so universally popu lar as the bride of whom we write. The beautiful dwellins was illu minated from basement to roof, and once inside the door you were greet ed by air atmosphere redolent ot flowers. The stairs ascending to the i.arlor floor were so ornamented, and the agate vases at the entrance of the main hall were filled with fragrant blossoms. lhe guests assembled earlv, to make sure of being in time for the ceremony, and a gay crowd filled the lower rooms before eight o'clock p. m. There are four rooms on the first floor; on the right the reception room and large dining room, on the left the grand salon, and across the rear the spacious ball room. Everywhere were seen works of art and exquisite flowers. In the drawingroom or salon the marriage took place. It was solemnized oy tne iev. Er. Atkins, of St, John's Church, Georgetown. The bride and groom and the two attendants, Miss Annie Stewart and Lieut. Totten, of the na vy stood in the large rectangular , -l . 1. c recess on tne soutn siae, iue sena tor and Mrs. Stewart close beside them. The background was superb tapestrv curtains, chocolate ground, with brilliant figures, which took the prize at the Paris Exposition, and a magnificent length mirror, while on either side two mirrors ex m.lv ounosite each other reduplica ted the scene. Al-ove the heads of the bridal couple hung a lovely bas ket of guilt wire, filled with white flowers, and lust Denmd smjou ui agate vase filled witn wedding uio Rnms. The quests gathered in the parlor, and those who could not draw near watched the tableaux in the mirrors. Among the guests were President Grant, CoL Fred Grant, and Miss Nellie Grant, and Jlr. fcartons, jure. Hooker, mother of the groom, and daughter; Secretary Robeson, the Postmaster General and Jura ores well, Miss Richardson, General Sher man, and ms two daugncers, juuge Swann and Mrs. Swann, Judge Field and Mrs. Field, Judge Hunt and Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. and Miss Porter, Senators Anthony. Chandler, Jones, Windham, Morrill, Ex-Senators Cole and Fowler, Judge Wylie and his wife, Senator Frelinghuysen and his wife and daughters. Mrs. Unapman Coleman, Mr. Charleton, and Miss Charleton, Captain Gare, and his wife, Costor, Miss Edes, Mr. Kil bourne, and his wife and daughters, Mrs. Bisketts, Mr. Edward Stanton, General Bale and daughters, and Judge McArthur and his wife. The bride's dress was simply but extremely rich, consisting of a heavy white rep silk with box-plaited flounce of the same across the front breadth. The long train was per fectly plain, and caught back with broad sash of white ribbon. A vail of illuson enveloped her head, be neath which was the wreath of or ange blossoms. A tripple row of pearls, secured by a cross set with diamonds and small solitaire pearls in the ears, constituted the ornaments worn. Mrs. Stewart's dress was rose col ored silk, with ruffles of Valenci ennes lace each row held by a wreath of white embroidery. Miss Annie Stewart, a young sis ter, aged fifteen, was the only bridesmaid, and Lieut, lotten the only groomsman. There were eight ushers Com mander D. E. H. Manly, Lieutenant Commander John Scouler, F. E. Chadwick, Lietenant E. W. Henry, q. S.N. ; Lieutenant T. K. Aller.U. S. N.; Lieutenant C. H. Huckleman, U. S. A.; Lieutenant J. H. Jones, and D. Porter, U. S. N. Oat of compliment to the groom all the army and navy officers wore full dress uniforms. The dressing of ladies surpassed that of any other occasion in this city. The young bridesmaid, who is fair blonde, was dressed in a simple white dress with flowers, and her hair floated loosely over her should ers. Mrs. Fish wore a dress of peacock blue silk velvet, with sash ends and bows of maroon colored ribbons, to correspond, and ornaments of diamonds. Miss Edith Fish wore white Paris muslin, trimmed wth Valenciennes lace, and sash of tea Colored ribbons. Some of the most elegant dresses were worn by Mrs. Meredith Smith, Mrs. Hall nee Chandler, Mrs. Judge Wylie, Miss Edes, Miss Richardson, Madame Mariscal, Mrs. Ross Ray, Mrs. Judge Field, and a hundred others. The presents, which were very magnifficent, were not displayed. It was not mentioned, however, that Senator Jones presented a solid silver service ; the President a silver ladle, Mrs. Stewart the diamond ear ings worn by the bride, and the groom the pearls which adorned her. Many large baskets and boquets of flowers were sent, and an anchor suspended by red, white and blue, ribbons was in one of the parlors. The dancing was kept up in the ball room until a late houi. ' The opening quadrille was danced by the President and the bride, the groom and Mrs. Stewart, Gen. Sher man, and Mrs. Porter, Senator Stew ard and Mrs. Frelinghuysen. A magnificent supper was served, strawberries, among the other deli cacies of the season were provided. The bride and groom will hot take a tour, but will remain at home and hold a reception in two weeks. JUSTICE IN DETROIT. Police Court Pictures. Detroit Free Press. THOMAS I. "Tom Quinn, don't you know that justice always overtakes the guilty?" continued tho Court, as a sailor named above came beating up to windward. "Yes zur," replied Thoma?. "And that, although the vickd may prosper and wax fat for a little time, the law must reach them at last and they are cut down like a flower?" "Yes zur." "And, thomas, if you were a po lice instico and Tom Quinn got drunk and fell through a window and kicked a boy and raised a row, wouldn t you send him to the work house for sixty days?" "Yes, zur." "Your head is level, Thomas, and if you should be elected to tho Le gislature and want a oortifioate ot character in order to steuure your 1 h nrd irif limit tinvnint '" nf?vfpa, 1 I cell on the undersigned. THOMAS II. "Tom Hall " commenced His Hon or, as the second prisoner was led out, "don't you remember that verse: "Let dogs delight To bark and fight For 'tis their nature to, But but Well, I don't exactly remember the words, but the gist of it is that peo ple shouldn't go round with their backs up and wanting to mash some one. I presume vou remember?" . - - ,.i n't "lilarnenie if 1 do," replied 1 nom as, shifting his quid. " ell, it s just the same wnetner you do or do not. All I wanted to know was whether vou uphold resort to muscular force when forensic el oquence would answer far better?" "clamed if i know," replied Thomas. "Yo"u never heard of Daniel Web ster going around with a stone in a stocking, did you? You never heard of Clay carrying brass knuckles. You never heard of Calhoun laying for anybody. And yet, sir, didn't they make a nation thrill?" "Blamed if I know," answered Thomas, "Next," said His Honor, as he chalked Thonias foi two months. Newspaper Advertising. Newspaper advertising is now re organized by busiuess men, having aith in their own wares, as the most effective means for securing for their goods a wide recoguition of their merits. Newspaper advertising impels in quiry, and when the article offered is of good quality and at a fair price, the natural result is increased sales. Newspaper - advertising is a per manent addition to the reputation f the goods advertised, because it is a permanent influence always at work in their interest. Newspaper advertising is the most energetic and vigilent of salesmen ; addressing thousands each day, al ways in the advertiser's interest, and ceaselessly at work seeking custom ers from all classes. Newspaper advertising promotes trade, for even in the dullest times advertisers secure by far the largest share or what is being uone. a a A Fickle Woman. In 1749 oc curred an odd episode in Wesley's lite. Un one of his missionary journeys he was taken sick at New castle, where he was nursed by Grace Murray, one of his female "helpers," a handsome clever woman of four and thirty, Wesley himself being twelve years older. He asked her to marry him. She seemed amazed and repiled, "This is too great blessing. I can't tell how to believe it. This is all I could have wished u ider heaven." Wesley, quite natuj rally took this as a formal betrothal. But Grace had not long before nurs ed John Bennett, a Methodist preach er, of about her own age; and Wes ley was soon astounded by a joint letter from Grace and John, asking his consent to their marriage. Thei: ensued a comedy lasting for months the like of which no playnght -was ever ventured to put upon the stage. Grace would have been qnite content with either of , her lovers, were it not for the other. But, con trary to all example, it was the ab sent one whom she wanted. When Wesley was with her she longed for Bennett; when Bennett was present she longed for Westley. How many times she broke and re newed her engagements with each it would be hard to tell. "I love you," she said to Wesley, "a thou sand times better than I ever loved John Bennett, but I'm afraid if I don't marry him he'll run mad." That very evening 6he promised her self again to Bennett. A week after she told Wesley that she was de termined to live and die with him. She indeed wanted to be married at once, but Wesley wished for some delay. Grace said she would not wait more than a year. A fortnight later she met Bennett, fell at hisfeet and acknowledged that she had used him ill. They were married a week after. This strange marriage seem ed to have turned out a happy one. Bennett died, in the triumph of faith, ten years later. Grace sur vived until 1803, dying at the age of eighty seven. For years she was a bright light in the Methodist society. Wesley saw her three days after her marriage, and but once more on earth. Thirty nine years after she came to London on a visit to her son, and expressed a wish to see Wesley. He was now eighty-five years old, she past seven ty. What could they now say ex "Hail and farewell?" Galaxy. Historical Evidence in a Coal Deposit. The Scranton (Pa.) Re publican says: On Saturday after noon a miner named Martin i,ough ery, working at No. 10 mine of the Pennsylvania coal company's works, at Pittston, while in the act of breaking a massive piece of coal which he had dislodged, discovered imbedded in the centre of it, what ap peared to be a small wooden box of an oblong shape. Upon touching the box it crumbled into dust like fungus, and disclosed a copper whistle, having a flint mouth piece, and in other respects shaped like our ordinary tin whistles. The miner brightened it up, applied it to his mouth, and made it sound doubtless for the first time in centuries. The spot where it lay is about one hund red feet beneath the surface of the earth. God's Steward. A writer in the Princetown Review, says; "Judge Davenport, of the bench in Connecticut in a former genera tion, was noted or his Puritauic 8terues8, which often seemed angu lar, harsh, and repulsive. In a sea son of short crops and great scarcity he had ample store of corn, and his granaries were full. He sold his surplus to those in need at the gener al rates, refusing the famine prices of the markets, and trusted or gave away to those who were unable to pay him. But when a man of prop erty dssired to purchaso some corn at these prices, he sternly refused, saying "You are able to supply your wants at market rates, tho poor connotjlhold my supply as Gods Steward for them!"

"Transactions in hair" is now tho polite way of alluding to female fights. People who hide behind the name Bacon are requo-sted to observe the Philadelphia man who bodly writos hU name "J, D. Hogg."

She, pretty hungry by that time, thought, better of it. An indignant matron winds ud a aphillipic against sleeping cars with the clinching accusation that the system forces young girls to be come "familiarized with that unat tractive object, a sleepy and unwash ed man." A little four vear old girl went. running into the house the other day, exclaiming, "Mamma, I've seen Jack Frost!" Where did you see him darling? queried the mother. un, I saw the up ot his tan Hang ing over the eaves. She had seen an icicle. What would become of us if the brake was to give way ? exclaimed a nervous lady as the car in which she was riding was going down a steep decline. That would depend en tirely upon how you have lived in this world, was the consoling answer oi tne conductor. A young lady in Indiana sought to demolish an unfaithful lover by publishing some verses addressed to him, in which, after prophesying her immediate dissolution, she said, Come, gaze upon my dust, false one. But the compositor spelled dust with a b. FURNITURE ! FURNITURE 1 " Small Profits and "Quick Sales."
