Was:iim.tox, June '-'.The marriage ceremony ml everything attending the wedding of President Cleveland and Miss Folsom was as simple rs it was badly arranged. It was not what might le railed really an aristocratic wedding. At a quarter to 7 o'clock the guests, not including those domiciled in the White House, assemlded in the State dining-room, where they were joined by Miss Kose Elizabeth Cleveland and ihose stopping in the hoase. When ail were present, at t -u minutes past 7 th. y were then taken to 1 lie i Blue-room, forming in the position of 8 horse ihoe and waited for the coming of the 2'resident and Miss Kolsom. As the hands of the Clock registered the hour of half past 7 the contracting parties male their appearance.3:he; two coming down stair a'one. Most people think 2fr. Cleveland should have accompanied his sister, and Miss Folsom upon the arm of her uncle, 25en Kolsom. Atone end of the horse shoe stood Secretary Bayard while at the other was the President's brother, in this position, with the laride and jrroom in the renter, the ceremony W;is solemnized, which consumed possibly ten Hinutes. While the c eremony wa being performed the X'arine band rendered the wedding march from Mlosummvr Night's Iream." There was a veiling mob of five or six hundred outside who were leat 0!i seeing all that could be seen, )ut they Mw nothing more than the bare walls and the fcuests as they came and went. When the marriage had been completed the President bowed to Mrs. Cleveland. He did not tiss her, that .onor being left to the groom's toother, who executed his part well. Congratulation were then extended by the relatives. Which was followed by the other guests. After Congratulations were over the sc ene of action was then transferred to the private dining room, ylere a cold collation was served, the guests all ptaad:u. The ienst was brief because it w.is hurrU- i. There was no tigering flirtations with tue Xlowiug wine. It was business, and tima was jrcclou--. Instead of the President and his wife toinii'g out of the front door to be taken to the IBaltuore and Ohio Depot on their departure Jorl'eer Park, where the honey moon is to be f-pent. they stole uietly out of the back door, and in the darkness of the nicht were driven in a closed carriage to the end of "K" street at tli 3 Intersection of the railroad, where the private car oi President Robert (Barrett had been sidetracked. It was the intention to out wit the 3icwspaper correspondents, but they had not gone two squares beyond Pennsylvania avenue before fcix coupes containing correspondent' w;re in Jiot pursuit some oi the newspaper representatives, in fact, reaching the car some aninutes in advance of the bridal party. Vhea the President reached the car, and seeing the Sentinel correspondent and three others who 3iad preceded him to what he thought was a Sliding spot, he said: "Hello! are you fellows here too?" The party will be at the mountains about a week. Precisely at 7:30 o'clock when the ceremony was leing i erformed a salute of thirty guns was fired lrom the Navy Yard, and at the same time the J!ags which had been Hying lrom the Treasury and War Departments were lowered. There was an innate desire by persons who were Siot sad would not be invited to manage som." "Way to e admitted Inside.

Dr. Sunderland and wife, and during the next few minutes there c ame in quick succession Postmaster (iencral Vilas and tvi;e. Mr. Wilson S. Bissell, Secretary and Mrs. Kndleott. jsecretary Bayard, Secretary and Mrs. Whitney and Secretary Manning and his wife. Removing their wraps in the state dinning room, all the guests proceeded to ths blue room, where they were received by Miss Rose Cleveland, l or a few minutes the guests chatted gaily, but conversation was quickly suppressed at 7:1"), when a selected orchestra from the Marine Band, stationed in the corridor, struck up the fa- ' miliar strains of the wedding march from 5feudelssohu, "Midsuminer Night's Dream, and all eyes were turned to the doonvay to catch the first glimpse of the coming bride and groom. Starting from the western corridor on the iipik r floor, the President came slowly down the western itaircase with his bride leaning on his arm. They were unaccompanied even the bride',, motler a siting ht-r with the other guests. Passing through the central corridor, the bride and gr'oiu entered the blue room and took a position near a mass of nodding palms, tropical grasses and an endless variety oi choice Mowers. The crystal chandelier poured a f'ood of mellow radiance upon the scene, and the colors of the massive banks of scarlet begonias and royal ja'iueminot roses mingling witn the blue and silver lines of the frescoed walls and ceiling, gave a warm aud glowing tone to the whole brilliant Interior. The delicate ivory shade of the bride's wedding Ins found an exquisite setting ia the masses of crimen roses immediately beyond. The President was in full e vening dress, with turn-down collar, white lawn ncckue and white enameled s: nils.'' A hush fell upon th assembly as Dr. Sunderland stepped forward to his position, frouting the wedding couple, with Uev. William Cleveland, the Pesiileni's biother, at his left band. In a dislin 't tone of voice, and with delilx-rate utterance, the 1h.c tor began the simple and beautiful wedding service, as follows: "For as much as we are assembled to observe the holy rites of marriage, it is needful that we should seek the blessing of the great . odour lather whose institution it is. and tntrefore I beseech you now to follow me with reverent hearts iu prayer to Him.

June 2 While the orchestra was pni ii.g one its happiest selections and the guests Mere gatheiiug about the tallies, the bride quietly slipped away to her room and changed her wed ding dress for a heavy gray silk traveling dress. She then returned to the company and was soon afterward joined by the President, w ho had iu the meantime changed his dress suit for a traveling costume. This was about 8::10 o'clock, and the President and his bride said a hastv "good by ' to their iriends, and left the bouse through a private exit fr. iu the Ked room into the aouth round. A clo-cd carriage awaited them, and as they entered Him the horses started off. a shower of rice was thiov. u on the carriage and their frieuds waved ibem a "Ciod speed." Jtwas expected that the President would try to slip away unobserved, uud 11 order to prevent this a num be "of newspaper men sta.ioned themselves near the southwest utiance to the crom. eis with carriages convenient 'o fo low the Pie blent in case he should make his exit by that gate. 1 his was reportei to the Presl-'e-t.t.

I Carp in Cleveland Leader.1 I beard Jast night a carious stjry of tke Piesident's engagement. He hu known Mi?s Foiisoni since she was a baby. He baa dandled her on his knee as a little girl, and has been her great friend all her life. She used to call him Uncle Cleve, and he has kept up a correspondence with her for years. He bevt-r thought of her in tbe way of marriage until a year or so ago. Slij had gone away (o school a girl and came back a woman. Still he never thought of tbe possibility of an o'd felljw like hint marrying. such a pretty young girl a Frtukie F-jlsom, until while he was Governor at Albany some niatcl.-making correspondents disseminated a ret ort that he was engaged t her. The mxt time he faw her tbey chitted aad laughed over the report Afier a lime Governor Cleveland's love beean to change from hat of the fathrr to the lover.

campaign. The possibility of marriage, which had been slowly working its way into President Cleveland's heart, became a stronger force thsn ever. II? becaue now thoroughly in love, an 1 at the time he was elected I'resident he determined that he would propose during the first year of the Administration. He felt very delicate about it, however, for the reason that Miss Folsom was so much younger than himself, anl that she was his ward. Still he thought she loved him, and he kner that he was more and more in love with her every day. This was the state of a trains when Miss Frankie and her mother camo at his invitation to spend a week or so at the White House during the last Faster vacation. They thoroughly enjoyed the visit. I'resident Cleveland was being exalted to the skies in the newspapers, and the air of toadying Washington was full of his praises. The warm White House was very beautiful in contrast with cold New York. The grass was beginning to creep out of the ground, ami the buds were showing signs of bursting forth into the leaves of early spring The crocuses were in bloom. The i're-ndent's mansion was Tilled with rloweri from its green houses, and the great conservatories were one mass of blossoms and green. It was the day after the reception and the family had just eaten their dinner from tbe elegant china and fine cut glass of the Presidential table. Miss Folsoru had picked up the elegant bouquet du corsage wh'ch was laid beside her plate, and had pinned into the lace at her Deck. President Cleveland, contrary to his usual costum, cme to the table iii full drrss. His day hal been a plersant one, and he was feeling very good hnniorr d. The dinner passed off very agreeably. Miss Folsom was talking of her school days, and she kept the party in a roat of laughter by her stories of Wells College and the secret love affairs of the beautifal girl who attended it. She had never seeuied happier, and the President thought he had never seen her look ruor beautiful. After the dinner which lasted about one hour, the party adjourned to the Blue parlor for a moment, and then began to scatter, Miss Citvelar.d going up stairs and Mrs Folsom settling herself back into a chair and devoting her attention to a story which she was reading. Miss Folsoru and the President were talking together, standing at the door leading into tbe corridor, and looking at the portraits of the Presidents which line its wal!s. A moment later they strolled down toward the East room, aud then strclled arm
in arm into tue conservatory, itns was dimly lighted, and tbe air was full of roses. Txliey walked up and down its aisles between ti.e banks 01 tiowers tor pernaps a mil nan hour, talking earnestly, and their voice3 were as tender as the forget-me-nots thy pessed, and their conversation, decidedly personal to themselves, was under t'je rose in more senses than one. They came from the conservatory with a happy look upon their faces. Miss Folsom was blashing . und the President held in his ;. ted r. s from her bouquet lu corsage. 1 agnieji had been made in the conly 1' was not announced to Mrs. ti v-ti.il day or two later, and s-(' - - iai'd even later stil1.

The Euro pean trip was afterward talked over with the I'resident. it was hnally agreed upon, and the grandfather agreed to furnish enough money for a magnificent wardrobe for the bride. The whole ail'air was to be kept a strict sf cret, and the marriage was to take place immediately npon the return of Miss Folsom from Euroie. John Kelly. New York S-un Editorial.) The death of John Kelly was not unex pected, but it affects the mind with the sin ce rest sens" of a public loss. For the last ten years Mr. Kelly was, perhaps, the most in fluential inhabitant of this city, and this remarkable power was built upon a solid foundation of disinterestedness and of devotion to the public welfare. He was always a democrat, and when Tammany Hall had to be reconstructed after the Tweed explosion Mr. Kelly brought to the work such integrity and such fidelity to the principles of his party that his sway over that great histoiic organization was" never questioned by bis followers. Even when his judgment was in error, as when for insutlicient reasons he bolted the nomination of Lucius Robinson, a vast body of earnest Democrats followed his lead, and never afterward did they complain at tte punishment of their revolt. Put this punishment was not of long duration. The power of Tammany Hall was too great and its Democracy too gen uine for it and its leader tobe kept mi 'side cf the Democratic household, and at all recent State Convention the de-legates of Tammany have been diuitted on ejual ieruis. In the election of 1SS1 Mr. Kelly was stror gly oposed to the nomination of Mr. Cleveland, and there is no doubt that, as far as hi? personal feelings were concerned, he would have preferred that Cleveland should t mi beaten; yet it is certain that Tatu.nany Hall was throughout loyal to the ticket; and this could vol have been without the authority and the co-operation of John Kelly. In qualities of character Mr. Kelly was a man of breadth, tmth and faithfulness. Strong in his attachments and strong in his resentments, his actions were yet controlled bv a hieb sense of natriotic eluty and by a constant desire to promote the public w-al.

1 MARRIED AGAIN. APEI.INA PA TT I, THE erEEX OF SOXC, AC A IS MARRIED TO NICOI.IXI. News comes from Paris that ten years havirjg elapsed since she was divorced from her husband, the Marquis de Caux, and legal impediments under the French law being overcome by the lapse cf time, Adelina Patti has been united in marriage to Nicolini, to whom she was married in England a few years ago, but with whom ßhe will make tnother nuptial contract in that country. She first met Xicolini in St. Petersburg not long after her marriage. Their affectionate intimacy has been continued ever since. When Patti accepted her first engagement by Colonel Mapleson she made it a condition that Nicolini should also be engaged, and be has traveled with her constat! ly from that time. Matrimonial aflairs have been complicated with Patti. Let us hope that the result of her divorces and marriages under the laws of two nations wiU be great happiness, and that the life of tbe sweetest singer of the age may be long continued. Adelina Maria Cloiinda Patti was born in Madrid, Spain, in the year 1 S 13. Signor Patii, her father, W83 a tenor sieger of no veiy remarkable abilitv; her mother, Madame Parili-Patti, attained celebrity as a piima-donna. When their child was about a year old her parent removed to New York, which the gieat singer speaks of as her home. In an article primed in the Century Magazine, Pichard G rant W hite tells of havin-r called vt pon her mother when Patti was a little child ;,a slender, swarthy, bright-eyed little gir', in sLort skirts, who ran into the room hnd chirped at her mother, and ran out of it, CHio'iing as she went through the passage way, und then ran in and out again in the same fashion." As a matter of course, Patti's lif from the beginning wa3 musical, aud while still very joung, sbe became a student ot her art. Her mother's influence strongly assisted h?r progress, iu winch phe received technical instruction from the eminent Maurice ScrakoM h. who had married her elder sister. When about sixteen she made her fist. apiiearance in New York city as "Luna'' in Jot-izetti's "Lucia di Lanmiertuoor," and acquitted herself in a manner which whs more than satisfactory, her ex'reme youth being considered, and promising of future eminence. She sang in America during the season of 18"!t and l.iio In 101 she ma le her first rppearanee in London, and in I'jrs Hie next year. Her course has been a triumphant one. In 1870 she received the Older uf Meiit from th Emperor of Itus-üa. Her fiist marriage was in 1S'. to the Marquis de Caux, a French nobleman, with whom she was unhappy, and the pair were legally separated. Patti is considered to be the btst prima-donna of the time. Her voice is pure aud perfectly well-manage i. and her taste unexceptionable. A competent critic speaks of her as being "equally at home in the tenderness of deep passion and the sprightly vivacity of light comedy." vi VV: I TIIK PATTI-MCOLIM MAKKUG Niconsi, msB.vst) or the greatkst prima I0SNA OF THE AGE. Ten years' time having elapsed since her divorce from the Marquis de Caux, Adelina Patti, the greatest opera singer of this generation, marries Nicolini in Paris, and will be married to him in Swansea, Wales, jn a few days. She was married to Nicolini several years ago in England, he being separated from his wife, who, with her three children, resides in Italy. I'p to recently, if not at the present time, Nicolini's wife was in the receipt of an allowance from Patti, in consideration of her'being discreetly unmolestful of him and his traveling companion, when they happened to be in countries where she might give them trouble. Nicolini, who is a man of at least fi'ty-five years of age, was originally a pastry cook in tne good city of Milan. Possessing a superior tenor voice he became locally eminent as a singer. In time he secured an engagement in the Giand Opera, and was singing in the same company with Patti, at St. Petersburg, when sbe first met him. Patti had then been two year, more or less, the wife of the Marquis de Caux, from whom she was dive reed, under the French law, in PS7G. Nicolini and sbe have been inseparable companions for years. It seems that she now has the right to claim him husband, but the stcry of her and his marriages and divorces is found, by ordinary people, to be somewhat orn plicated and dithcult to unravel. Pntii's husband is a model of attention. Nobtdy could be cared for more ass'.duoutly hau lie he cares for her. He is her steward nd the intelligent and watchful guardian of Ltr Lealth. With his own hand he prej are tV.e dainty broths and soups which support in health and p-rlect voice the sweetest tti.i! most accomplished of singera.

u SFESE. Herr Most Speech. The following is Herr Most's recent ste?ch to the jury just before tbev found him guilty: f.ENTi.KMKX ff'THKJt RV First I make that I atn not very well able to speak Kaglisb. It is t ie fir-i time that I give a public speech in F.nglish. ut, it you don't understand any sentence that I hav.' to give, please ask me, and perhaps I c an mate myself understood by other wotds. Now, then, you heard a gootr eieal about in in t is court room. You heard a eood oealo'tte District Attorney yes'.erday. an 11 sap o e vou aie ot the opinion that he bla kcued the levi'l as liittcli as potsible. I am of the op'uiou that you exj ected a good deal of witness Cor the prosecutii.n auo that you e$iectei a gcxxi jcI ot otuer biae keuing of ihe devil. WLat came of it, uentlciiien 1 should Miy less than nothing r-a:ne o' it. What remains uow of the whole rrokc .tioti" A blac k pavH.-r it is-. At last they arusted me. and the police stid that they arrested beneatn the bed. Itia!ie. 1 stofKl erect iu my rexun. It was not my daiv to tell the police where 1 live. I lived in that verv room for four months belore. They arrested me aua they shown a gool nu.ny things that they took away trum aie. it'it tiity didn't sliow my pocket to6k. geaieineu, or the 5lH that they took away from :ne. The attorney said yesterday: "He Lsa man that lievt r works.'' 1 say that I work like evvry boly else in these wall. I work twelve hours and st metimcs mteeu hours a day, and I should be so; ry it there are many workmen who ecru Ksg than I. i don't earn more tfaau i or jl(t week. No sir. No, gentlemen. That meeting on the night of April i:. was au i orderly meeting of orderly wenkiugmeu. What d'l 1 say." 1 saio. iu short words, simply this: 'I re C onstitution of the I nited States of North America guarantees the rigit to eierybody to aim himself. W orker. why ibo you not arm yourselves?" And why don't they ? Perhaps because they don't understand the meauiugof the Constitution. The c-apitalistic classes are well armcJ. The polii e, their servants, are weil armed, only tbe workiugmens have tinpty hands. There have l eeu done terrible things lately against workiui;niens. women aud children, not ouly by the special police, but by the private police cif the 1 inkerton institution, bought, piece by piece, for in, like in Fast St. Louis, to kill peaceful men and women. To a peaceful assembly there come the i-i a day hirelings ot .lay ;ould. hired for the very purpose to kill anylmdy, with repeating ri:Ies, and perhaps, eentlemeus, they diitu't cost iV2, but iJ.-. ; I jt uuhter.) '1 hti. ? explained what kind of arm were to be hud. 1 .ii: "In the Constitution oi tiie l uited Mates e. Not th America there is no specitication as to r.' -. no exclusion. Vou can have a cannon if yem p ease. and. of course, a Iximb if you please. You can have a ritle. They have made a law against concealed weapons. Therefore don't couceal tbe'tii. s-bow them, tree and open." Kevclvc rs. ritles and bomls: Oh. yes: there was a witness here that had invented a new weapon. Perhaps it wna invented in that Martin's saloon. Laughter. He said I advised the peoole to take sticks, biml around some cotton, put it iu tiie benzine, and lire it into the houses. It was oilman invention of the witness. I never said tbat. Another witness came in and said that I advised the people to throw vitriol out of the windows, lie vascal'cd tt) re pe at this charge in the tiertnan h'h(.uage. Some of you geutleraeu are e -enmiti. Did be not repeat "Vitriol, vitriol"."" ItsQouid be hl wefelseur. if it was correct. Another witness was iiite higher still iu his Inventions. He sai:i I referred to the Chicago riots, aud said sti -u like should be done m New York. Yet it was the J"d of April, and the riot was on the:;dor4th of May. Dab! You can see what kind oi witneses they were. 1 remember that Henry Ward lkc her you reineinber hiin aiso the people did luviie t nn themselves. He said, even ia thecbureh. tin y i tiht to buy ri3es. Sunday after Mtnday He said. "'You are entitled t liae riMes in your houses aud use them for self Je-leuse." Here 1 stand, and I have said what I did say auu what I dHn t say It you t liuk 1 am guil ii jou think a n a i should be put i" h: niii for having cxpresst-u his opinion, for bavin e . the people to defend themselves aem.isi uu'awfu' ads. theti 1 exp -t and aeeept your wrdici o1' guilty. Km if you au under.stind that I didn't do a:i thing of "the Kind, that I simply ma ie a (speech, as others did liesides me. day by day and week by week, without being interfere.! with, then 1 expei t a verdict of not guilty. I expect an acquittal. I expec t that you will hold that free speech in America should be as it was until the end. A dweller on the banks of the Co Jorus, in Pennsylvania, ties short lines with baifcd fishhooks to the legs of his geese and drives tbem into the water. The fish bite and jerk the lines, and then the frightened geese buiry to shore, dragging the fish after them. So says the York Age Scrofula of Lungs Relieved. I am now forty-nine years old.and have suffered for the last fifteen years with a lung trouble. Several members of the family on my mother's side of the house had died with consumption, and the doctors were all agreed in their opinion that I had consumption also. I had all the distressing symptomsofthatterribledisea.se. I have anent thousands of dollars to arrest the march of that disease; I have employed all of the usual methods, not only in my own case, but in the treatment of other members of my family, but temporary relief was ail that I obtained. I was unfit for any manual labor for several years. By chance I came into possesion of a pamphlet on B:ood ard Skin Diseases," from the office ol 6 wilt Specific Co., Atlanta, tia.
