A BRIDE'S DISCOVERT. In the immense amount: of marrying aud giving in marriage which lias been goiug on in all circles lately, from Tom the Tinker's to John Jacob Astor'a, some funny and piquant stories have corae to light. These show to the soft eyed brides tfiat their lords are not the Leporellos society would paint them, and yet do not exclusively confine their attentions to the damsels of high noses and noble lineages, who grace the Pa triarch's ball an sit en evidence in the front of boxes at the Metropolitan on holiday nights. There is one bride who can tell an interesting little story, which nearly led to a broken engagement the week before the wedding. Without being a millionairess, she is "nicely fixed." Her parents have a fine house, with an artistic interior that Cottier overhauls every other season. The young lady has a saddle-horse of her own, and her ball-dresses at the opening of every winter come over from Laferriere and Pingat. There is a real sable lining to the long, dull-blue cloak she wears over these radiant, confections, and, when she is in her war-paint, diamond stars galore glitter in the masses of her feath ery hair that it takes "her maid an hour and a half to dress. From all this it will be seen that she is a person of con sideration the gay world—one who knows her value and does not give her self to the first young man who asks. A desirable parti turning up in this year—her third season—she reluctantly --after a long courtship, during which she tormouted and fooled the young lover to her heart's content—consented to make him the happiest of men. He was a nice fellow and sufficiently well-to do. She supposed vaguely—as vaguely as well-bred young ladies always sup pose—that he had had his little pleas ures and pastimes, but these were now forever passed. No more gay meander ings from the broad and garish high way for Benedict, the married man. Benedict thought so, too—-it was going to be an ideal marriage. The day was set aud the presents be gan to pour in. Such presents!— enough to set up ten poor families for life. The fiancee went about in a state of tebriie exaltation, opening packages and Russian-leather boxes, and writing letters of thanks to all sorts of fiue peo ple. But, one day, a small packet, ad dressed in a strange hand, was left for her at the door. When she opened it, a very fine handkerchief was revealed, embroidered in a delicate design of marguerites and with her monogram worked in one corner. With this came a slip of paper, on which was written, in au unformed hand, "From Marguer ite." The fiancee was greatly exercised. She could not imagine who "Maiguer iie" wa-. Mamma thought it must have been some school friend that she had forgotten, iler sister thought is was one of the French maids they had had— one of them was called "Marguerite," aud she used to embroider, too. Her cousin suggested a little liair-dresser they had once employed, when they lived on Nineteenth street. The fian cee said nothing, but looked at the haudkerchief, and pondered and grew thoughtful and then sullen. She went down-stairs "and asked the butler who had left the packet. He looked as im passive as his position required, and said a young woman—a nice-lo king young woman, in a f&ilor-hat-.-a very nice-looking young woman, with a fresh complexion. Tha*. evening when the fiance ap peared, he was greeted with solemnity, not to pay severity. Then the hand kerchief was produced simultaneously with tlifl burning question: '"Who is Marguerite He was puzzled at first. Even the angry fiancee, keeping a lynx eyed watch upon him, saw that. He looked at tho handkerchief, and the flowers worked so finely on its delicate web -and then, with a flush and a sud- ks?fc waa something indescribably taking and piquant about her. It may have been her French blood which showed her how to stick the bunch of artificial ap ple-blossoms so fetcliingly in her sailor hat., or that taught her how to twist her thick, brown hair up in that loose and graceful coil. She was trim and fresh as au English daisy, with everything finished and pretty about her, from the neat shoe that showed below the hem of her skirt to the soft, curly lotcks on the nape of her neck. The fiance thought her so pretty that he risked a rebuff in addressing her on the charms of the evening. She responded na turally and simply, and the three stood chatting iu front of the show-window. Then they walked down the avenue, where the lamps were beginning to be lit and the dusk was creeping nfr from the side-streets. He took the two girls to dinner at Clark's. They had never before had such a dinner or been inside such a splendid place. They com mented on everything, and stared, and were in the seventh heaven of delight and bliss. Marguerite seemed very young, but her friend was older and not so pretty. After dinner he took them across the street to the Eden Musee, and here their bewilderment was such that they were speechless. It was a glorious evening for them they were as silently absorbed in the won ders they saw as two children. den smile, remembered. Marguerite came back to his memory as freshly as expect him, so he stopped at a messeu on the first day of their meeting—"a ger-station, scribbled an excuse on a young woman in a sailor-hat, with a fre-h complexion!" He laughed at this de-iOfii tion given him by his frowning sweetheart. It must have been the same sailor-hat she had worn last sum mer. Marguerite Durand—he remem bered her perfectly. the story. At 9 o'clock he took them home to their lodgings—over a toy-store on Fourth avenue—where they lived with the ugly girl's mother. On the way there, Marguerite retailed her entire history. She was an orphan, of French parentage. She made her living by embroidering in a store down on the avenue. She lived with her friend and her mother, and made just enough money to pay her board, with an occa sional frock and pair of shoes to keep herself looking nice. This was all tho story, and, no doubt, a true one. At the door of the toy-shop he bade them good-night, promising to come round soon again and take them out to the play, perhaps. He saw them quite often after this. He took them to the Casino one even ing, and derived an honest pleasure from watching their delight. He took them twice to the Metropolitan Museum on a pay-afternoon and showed them the pictures. Marguerite was very fond of pictures, though she knew nothing of them. He tried to teach her a little, educate her taste, and soon found her a wonderfully apt pupil. Their friendship, which was distinctly piatonic, was a great recreation to him. This bright, uncultivated creature, fresh and genuine as a child, was some thing new in his experience, and a new type is not to be despised. He grew to be quite fond—in a sedate, elder-brother fashion—of Marguerite. She was so simple-minded, so open, so artlessly ignorant, and so pretty. Actually, he began to think that she was prettier than any girl he knew, and she was always so neat and dainty in her old clothes. They fitted her like wax, aud there was a touch, an air, an indefinable something about every thing she put ou which made it look as if pertaiuing and belonging to her self. A knot of violets iu her belt made her more stylish than a Worth costume would have made an ordinary girl a dotted veil to the tip of her nose im parted an air of elegance to her whole figure. Her old. worn gloves always fitted her little hands, and the toes of her best patent-leather shoes, that twinkeled below the hem of her skirt— how small and pointed they were! She was the best of company, with her amusing chatter. WThen he told her of the pictures at the Metropolitan, she fixed her big, brown eyes on him in a steady glance of deep attention, under which he grew eloquent, and said all manner of brilliant, clever things. No body, except his mother, had ever listened to him before with this speech less absorption. The star of his soul generally looked bored and drowsily in different when he began to discourse. Sometimes he was perturbed in his mind by noting, in these glances, some thing pensively melancholy—something wistfully tender. It made him uneasy. He did not want to disturb Marguerite's peace of mind he did not want to make this humble conquest. He salved his conscience with the though that he had never tried to make her fond of him. If she had singed her wings hovering round a candle, he had singed his wings hov ering round a star. aimless state of hopeless despondency love, but she was. Especially now, when ho saw Marguerite. when the new love stodd looking, still The avenue is deserted of its fashion able crowd in summer, aud at this hour, ju-t sundown, is full of rust/, out-at elbows loungers, who come loafing up from all sorts of dingy holes aud corners to take the air and see the deserted stamping-ground of the swells. Mar guerite was not exactly one of these, neither was she a lady. The experi enced eye of au old flaneur would have seen that she belonged to the class of respectable shop-girls, not averse to a little amusement, but always careful and prudent. In company with another girl, she was standing looking at a picture ex hibited iu a large show window,and theie as- ..I v In the middle of October, the star suddenly returned from Bar Harbor and Lenox. In truth, she was a little un easy at the way things were going. Be cause she had been rather cool to her best man, when he came to Bar Harbor in August, was that any reason why he should never have come again? He had written very seldom, and then in a placid, friendly key that was not a bit the way it ought to be. She got rather sulky, and then secretly alarmed. He was going back on her he was going to pay her oil iu her own coin. "I am sick of these horrid hotels aud detestable cottages," she said, one day, to her mother, when her fears had reached a climax "let us go back to to town and try and get civilized again." So they went back. When the young man heard of her re tu'n, everything else went out of his head. On the way up to pay his re spects at the shrine, he suddeuly re membered that he had promised Mar guerite and her friend to take them to see Otero dance that evening. He had enough computation left not to let them scrap of yellow paper, aud sent it down to Marguerite on Fourth Avenue, above the toy-store. The week afterward, he sent her two tickets to see Otero, and— never thought of her again. She did not remind him of their sudden brokeu And then he told friendship, and seemed content to be forgotten. It was one evening last summer that i She must nave seen his engagement in he first saw her. Perhaps the fiancee the paper, and worked this present for would rernemoer that he had gone up I the bride of her old frieud. It was un doubtedly Marguerite who had left it had tre&'ed him so shabbily, he had, for very pride's sake, been forced to leave the day after his arrival. He was downcast aud tired, aud after the day's work—it had been a terribly hot day— he was walking down Fifth avenue in an in a suilor-hat and with a fresh com plexion." Her cheeks had been like a blush-rose under the dotted veil she wore, when she was in gala attire. It did not cross the mind of the fiance that his old friend was prettier than his new dark acd sour, at the embroidered token. It was a very innocent and harmless story, yet she did not like it much. She would have preferred to hear that Mar guerite was ugly, always down-at-heel and out-at-elbows. She did not greatly fancy tho way her fiance spoke of the little shop-girl—it was too friendly, al most affectionate. She cculd have im agined that he might have had affairs he did not care to speak of to her, but she never had imagined that he might have had affairs of this sort. She took the haudkerohief and put it away. When the wedding-preseuts were exhibited in all their glittering splendor, it was not .Mi* among them. Bnt the story leaked out, such stories will, and became the property of friends, of acquaint ances, of the whole town. And who are these two people of whom this story is going the rounds? Ah, that's telling 1 —The Argonaut. ••The Star-Spangled Itanner." In Lassing's "Pictorial Field Book of the war of 1812" it is recorded that the "Star-Spangled Banner" was first sung in a restaurant in Baltimore, next door to the Holiday Street Theater, by Charles Durang to an assemblage of the patriotic defenders of the city, and after that nightly at the theater. This statement is slightly inaccurate, and, though it is one of no great his torical importance, it involves a matter of sufficient interest to justify a cor rection, says a writer in Kate Field's Washington. The first person to sing that spirited song—which, though given a foreign air and commemorating a single episode in our country's history, has filled millions of American hearts with patriotic emotion—was a lad 12 years of age, the scene of his childish effort being neither a restaurant nor a theater, but the open street in front of Capt. Benjamin Edes' printing office in Baltimore, on the second day after the bombardment of Fort McHenry. It is worthy of record too, that the person who first "set up" the song, printed it, and distributed it to the citizens of Baltimore was also a boy—an appren tice of Capt. Edes—the whole thing being done while the gallant captain was still out of the city with his regi ment, the Twenty-seventh Maryland infantry, which three days before had acted with conspicious bravery at the battle of North Point. The name of the apprentice boy, then 17 or 18 years old, was Samuel Sands. He lived a much respected citizen of Baltimore, to a very old age. This little singer was James Law rea son, who afterward for nearly seventy years was connected with the postollice department, and was also employed for probably half that time as a writer for the National Intelligencer, fhe Phila delphia Ledger, and the Baltimore Sun. He died last year, nearly 90 years old, at his home in Baltimore, universally loved and honored. Jewels In the Krltisli Kegalia. Few people have the faintest idea of the value of the jewels contained in the regalia of the British crown. Let us look first at the crown jewels proper. The crown itself is composed of a vel vet cap surronnded by silver hoops. The hoops are set with jewels and upoo the crown is a jewel-studded bail, sur rounded with brilliants in the form of a Maltese cross. There are three hundred and eighty-three diamons noted in the description of the crown, be sides pearls, sapphires, rubies, emeralds and many smallar diamonds,the whole valued at $502,000. In the jewel room we find besides this crown,Jthe imperial crown ofCharles II, the Prince of i Wales' crown, and the crown of tho ancient queen. Looking farther, we find the baptis mal font which was used at the baptism of both Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales, valued at $200,000, and a large wine fountain, costing $50,000. After these come many smaller pieces, among which are St. Edward's staff, the royal scepter, the rod of equity, the swords of of justice, temporal and ecclesiastical, the Queen's scepter, which is of ivory, mounted in gold, with a dove of white onyx, and the orb, edged with pearls and surmounted with roses composed of diamonds. There are many others, bnt we will only notice one more, and that is the spoou nsed at the coronation of a Brit ish sovereign to receive tho conse crated oil from the receptacle which holds it in quantity. It is of gold, bord ered with gems and is said to be the oldest piece iu the collection, having beeu used by Edward the Confessor who died in 1066. The value of the entire collection is variously estimated, but a medium es timate places it at $14,520,000. An Heirloom. In an old French household in Uew York the most carefully cherished heir loom is a slipper which was worn by Marie Antoinette in the last days before the French Revolution. It was one of the precious relics in the baggage of a court lady who fled with her husband to Louisiana when the storm broke. She left the tiny, blue, faded slipper to her daughter, with the injunction that it should go down in the family, to the eldest daughter, if she never allowed herself to have corns. It is a pretty slipper, and has beeu carefully kept iu the jewel-case of one Frenchwoman after another, so that it is perfectly preserved. It is short, very narrow, and very high-heeled and is brocaded blue, lined with soft white silk. The sole is of coarse-grained leather, and there are three satin straps over the instep, fastened with paste buckle. The pointed toe is embroidered with sliver threads, and the edges are bound with silver braid. The condition regarding its inherit ance has always been strictly regarded. The women of the house have taken great care of their feet that they might rightfully claim the unhappy Queen's slipper, and for a hundred years there has not beeu a pinching shoe worn in that family. A relio of this sort would be a boon in a good many households, if it had the effect of induciug the daughters tc abandon the tight boots, which injure not only their feet, but their gait and carriage. Cood riot for a Farce. The following singular will case come* from Hamburg. Some years there died in Schleswig, Germany, a Government official named Nielsen. Some lit'le time before he died Nielsen bequeath ed to his manservant 20,000 crown-, at*d to his cook a like sum, on the condition that if either of them married the 20,000 crown should revert to the other. As soon as the old gentleman ed, how ever, the happy possesors of this fortune went to the alter and were married The couple than took up their residence in Hamburg, where they have resided foi the last six years, liecently there ar rived from Copenhagen a relative oi Herr Nielsen, who by their marriage considered the spirit of his relative's last will and testameut had been depart ed from, an demanded the restitution of the 40,000 crown.

A Noble Shaft Erected in Honor or Gen eral Stark'* Victory One Hundred Ifears Ago—The Little Town fi'Jttf With Znthaslaatle Patriots. Historic Bennington. The ceremony of dedicating the mon ument erected to commemorate the bat tle of Bennington crowded that little Vermont town to overflowing. The presence of the President of the United States and members of his Cabinet, as well as the Governors of three States, gave the event more than local interest It hroueht people from all part^ of the United States, but particularly from the New England States, to witness and take part in the ceremony. Probably in the whole history of Bennington no such distinguished gathering will be held again At tbe encampment grounds around the Soldiers' Home, where the interest of the event centered during the early part of the day, the soldier boys were aroused by the reveille call early in the morning. The crowd was up with tl|p soldier?, for with the first break of dawn the streets began to assume a lively appearance and the roads leading into tuwn commenced to empty their stream of wagons and car riages into the camp grounds. Every private as well as every public houee in Bonnington was crowded and many slept on tho lawns, while hundreds were glad to find sleeping quarters in tents which afforded little protection to tho chill night air. When the first of the special trains ai rh 1 streets were well filed. Among those prominent in national af airs were the President and his cab inet, ex-(iov. Prescott, of Now Hamp shire: Gov Page, of Vermont Gen. Veazey, of the G. A. R. Edward J. Phelps, and others. The celebration was the culmin tiou of a series of events covering century. The anniversary of the batt of Bennington is to the people of Sout em Vermont what the Fourth of Ju is to the nation. For nearly fifty yea there has been more or less preparati for the building of a suitab'e mon_ nieut. The first organized effort was made in 1853. The Vermont Legislature in that year appropriated S3,000, with the condition that the corner-stone of the proposed memorial bo laid on the liith of August following, and that the sum of ST,00 bo raised by private sub scription. While these conditions were not fulfilled and the appropriation lapsed, the agitation continued. In 1875 7 i the Bennington historical Society, and subsequently the Bennington Battle Mon ument Association, were organized, the latter chart' red by the Sta e of Vermont, with an appropriat'on of §15,000, condi tioned on the raising of $5,000 more The celebration of 1877 followed. These events, and the subsequent action of the States of Xew Hampshire and Massa chusetts and the national government, have conspired to cause the erectio.i of th noble shaft on the site of the conti nental storehouse, the object point of Col onel i atim's expedition in 1777. The cost of the monument and siti has been in round numbers #100,000. Massachusetts contributed Xew Hampshire £7,500, the national government -540,000, and Vermont the £1 ,000 aforesaid and a supplemental appropriation for the site. The balance has been raised bv private subscriptions. The monument stands on a command ing site 2*.'S feet above the Wallooinsac River- This river I'ows through th vil lage of Bennington.
