Bridal Couple in Germany.

A. Leopold received a letter from his daughter, Mrs. Leo. Wolf, now on her wedding tour in Germany, one day last week, in which were enclosed some blades of grass she had plucked from off his mother’s grave. Mr. Leopold left his home in Greenstadt, Rhinish Bavaria, Germany, when only 15 years of age and his parents, who died about 25 years ago, are buried there. When he left Greenstadt, it was a small country town with no railroad, now it is a large city with all the modern conveniences of American cities. His daughter describes the country there in a very thorough manner and it has awakened in Mr. Leopold a greater desire than ever before to visit again the scenes of his boyhood, now so greatly changed. It is quite possible that he will decide to make the trip within the next few months. Mr. and Mrs. Wolf’s trip has been a most pleasant one. The ocean on the going trip was as plaoid as the waters of a small lake and neither suffered any seasickness. They will take ship to return on August 24th and are due to arrive here on September 2.
