The Archbishop of Canterbury aud the Dean of Windsor performed the ceremony, assisted by a number of other high dignataries of the Church of England. The 93d Highlanders guarded the approaches to the church, while the road traversed by the procession was lined by volunteers. The bridal procession started from the palace at 1:15. Loyal and enthusiastic shoutine and cheering greeted the pageant as it emerged from the gates, and the demonstration was taken up and continued by the people along the whole route to the church. Bands of music posted at dif ferent points along the route played as the bridal party passed, and the road from the palace to the church was gay with evergreen arches, flowers and flags. The interior of the church, with its exquisite floral decoration, presented a beautiful appear ance, and the magnificent display of bright uniforms and handsomo toilct3 made tho scene most impressive. Tho dress of tho bride was much admired, and the bridesmaids, clad in lovely white gossamer, attracted much atten tion.

Quite a number of times she has figured before the public as a candidate for matrimony, and there has been no lack of impecunious Princes who have desired to get hold of tho plethoric pursestrings of the Eng lish people through an alliance with her.

Tho Engineer reported him to the Captain, who told the Sur geon to see if there was anything the matter with tho man. The Surgeon, upon examina tion, said that from all appearances tho stoker was well and able to do his work. Upon this he was thrown into the punishment xoom. He pleaded for medicine, but the doctor turned a deaf car to his appeals. For two hours ho re mained in the dark hole. When tho steward visited him and asked him if ho would go to work, he replied that ho could not, that he was nob able. An hour later, ou the cell being again visited, the unhappy man was found hanged. Tho body was cat down, but the Cap tain thought it best, under the circumstances, not to bury it at sea. It was therefore packed in ice and carried to Hoboken, whero a burial permit was granted. Tho suicide leaves a wifo and four small children in Stockholm, whero ho lived. A Ifew Slni f Potato Big. Connecticut farmers are becoming alarmed on account of a new kind of potato beetle which hasjust made its appearance indifferent parts of that State. For several years tho Colorado beetle has been an enemy which "potato raisers have been obliged to fight with parisgreen and other poisonous substances sprinkled on the vines from the time the young shoots first ap peared nntil after the plants had blossomed. The battle has been a constant one, and this season planters seemed to havo gained suprem acy, as the ravages of tho beetle havo been much less destructive than for seven years before. The new enemy first appeared in Hartford on the 20-acre patch of Dr. J. M. Biggs, and now there are reports of ravages by tho samo insects at Green's farm aud at North Bridgeport. The bugs are wholly unlike the Colorado beetle. They are black and some what longer than the common potato bug, more active, and fly more readily.

Sho in formed him that her traveling expenses had entirely exhausted her finances. " Didn't your father leave you $1,000? " asked Soldey. " He never had 1,000 pennies," replied tho girl. "Well, wait a moment," said the fellow, "and I'll bo back." Pearl waited several hours, but Abraham came not, and finally tho poor girl, who was without money or friends, stated her story to a Castle Garden detective, who, afior seeing her in a place of safety, arrested tho mercenary lover, who will languish in prison until an understanding can bo arrived at. m Cause of Mortality Among Ferch.

A closer examination, however, revealed tho strange fact that a clot of blood had choked up one of the arteries in the limb, and that gaugreno had set in below tho point of stoppage. It was found necessary to amputate tho limb as soon as tho exact point whero tho gangrene lay could bo located. Similar cases are very rare, and no cause for their occurrence has yet been discovered.

EXTRACTS FROM " The mode of operation propose! was to rcacri point on tho road where tuny could seize a locomotiTe and traf q of cars, aud then dash back in the direction of Chattanooga, cutting the telegraph wires and burning the bridges behind them as they advanced, until they reached their own lines." "The twenty-two captives, xvhen secured, were thrust into the negro jail of Chattanooga. They occupied asinglej room, half under ground, and but thirteen feet square, so that there was not space enough for tbein all to He down together, and a part of them were, In consequence, obliged to sleep sitting and leaning against the walls. The only entrance was through a trap-door in the celling, that was raised twice a day to let dowu their scanty meals, whlca were lowered In a bucket. They had no other light or ventilation than that which came through two small triple grated windows. They wero covered with swarming vermin, and the heat waj so oppressive that they were oftera obliged to strip themselves entirely of their clotnes to bear it. Add to this, they were all handcaned, and, with trace-chains secured around their necks by padlocks, were fastened to ea-h oilier in companies of twos and threesi Their food, which was doled out to them twice a day, consisted of a little Hour wet with water and baked In the form of bread, and spoiled pickled beef. They had no opportunity of procuring supplies from the outside, nor had theyj any means of doing so, their pockets having been rifled of their last cent by the Confederate authorities, promineutt among whom was a rebel officer wearing the uniform of a major. No part of the money thai basely taken was evea returned." Eight Thousand Copies of Capturing a Xocornotivo have already been sold, and thej demand still is for "more."
