PERSONAL ITEMS.
Tlie lonpr-talki'd-of marriage! between Mr.
C.'orr.eliuS Vanderliilt, Jr., and Miss Alice
(iw.ypne, took plueH in New York on Monday,
February 4. Loii Vie to re the hour announced
for the wedding 1 o'clock the Church of the
Incarnation was thronged hy the beauty,
wealth, and fashion of the city. Seldom have
we seen a more crowded church. Every avail
able inch of room was crowded by fashion
ably dressed ladies and gentlemen. The scene
from the gallery was very gay. The sun,
tinning through the colored glass windows,
ehed a sort of hazy light over the whole
church, the many brilliant colors worn by
the ladies, and the incessant hum of voices,
mode it seem more like a public matinee
rather than a fashionable wedding. About
hall-past 1 o'clock the bursting forth of tho
music and the rising of tho assemblage an
nounced the arrival of the bridal party. The
trains of the bridesmaids' dresses were so long
that one couple had to wait at the door until
the other had gone some distance up the aisle.
The liride wore an elegant white satin, with
point lace peplums, and tulle veil. The brides
maids, five in number, Misses Sherman,
Gwynne, Vanderbilt, Adams, and Thompson,
vore white tarletan, with very long trains.
The hair was dressed very high, and orna
mented with a wreath of white morning-glories,
with green leaves, which went once
around tho chignon, and hung below the waist.
They were imported from Paris, for the occa
sion, as was also tho entire bridal trousseau,
which was very handsome. The reception,
which took place on the same atternoon, at the
residence of the bride's parents, No. 24 West
Thirty-third street, was a very brilliant affair.
Mr. William II led tho "German," and
introduced the popular ball figure. Tho bride's
presents were many, and very costly and
elegant. Altogether, it was a most brilliant
affair, and, tho parties being wealthy and of
the first society, it created a great sensation,
and a flutter in the fashionable world.
Madame Anna Bishop has written a letter
from Hong Kong to Mr. Henry C. Watson, the
musical -critic, from which we cull one or two
interesting facts. She says: "I am glad I am
able to send you a photograph (taken from a
sketch hy Lascelles) of our preparations for
departure from the outlet of the island, and
the boat in which we were packed, and in
which we made the wonderful passage of four
teen hundred aniles in' thirteen days, not
moving scarcely from our position in tho boat.
The shock is still too vivid for me to dwell on
the subject. 1 go soon to Macao and Canton,
return here, and leave for Singapore, Batavia,
Calcutta, and hope soon to be among my kind
friends in America. We have not a note of
music. All lost."
Mr. George Perry and Mr. J. II. Elliot h ivo
liccome associated with Mr. Morris Phillips as
editors and proprietors of the New York llomc.
Journal. They have both been contributors to
its pages for many years; Mr. Perry as literary
and art critic, and more recently as one of tho
editorial staff, and Mr. Elliot as a contributor
of poetry, essays, sketches, etc. Tho addi
tional strength thus introduced is indicated in
the announcement that tho Home Journul will
soon Vie enlarged. .
It is reported from Madrid that tho Duke
and Duchess of Montpensier have been ordered
by the Queen to leave Spain before the end of
the present month ; and lrom bevillo we hear
that their royal highnesses are preparing to

Richmond, near London. Queen Isabella lias
banished Some of tho first civilians of her king
dom, aud now shows her impartiality by

Mr. James Vuk, one of the ablest journa
lists of Northern New York, has left tho edi
torial tripod, and gone into the flower, fruit,

date for the position of Commissioner of Agri
ultnro at Washington. Ho saya he prefers

Mr. Williams thought that It would lead to debate,

Mr. Williams Mr. President, I gave notice last
ni.ht. at the suggestion ol some members of the
Sena e. tin t I should propose an amendment to ma
bill; but as I am impressed with the necessity of Its
passage at this session. 1 have consulted with mem
bers w ho knew, and they advised me that any amend
ment to tin; bill will endanger if not absolutely defeat
Us pnssHgo, I have concluded not to present the
amendment which I prepared, and I think It Is my
duty, under the circumstatlues, to oppose all amend
ments to ihe bill, because I tUluk It uecessury that It
Should pass.
Although it may not suit the wishes and views of
all lndivlduals,;yet, under the circumstances, it is pro
bably as near to the views of the majority as auy bill
we could pass, and if Senators who favor the passage
or the bill will pardon the suggestion, I hope it may
be put forward w ith as little discussion as benaiors
think it advisable on the part of those who support it.
I rhull press It to a vote as soon as practicable, and
hope to secure its passage through (lie Senate by to
morrow nitiht.
Mr. Johnson (Md ) If the amendment proposed hy
the honorable member yesterday had been adopted
by the senate, it would mane the hill very much less
objectionable than It would otherwise he. I should
not vote lor the bill IT thus amended: but I am very
desirous to do what I can to Improve it, and 1 there
fore renew the amendment, aud ou that I call a
division.
The amendment was rend, It Is known as the
Rlaine amendment, which was rejected hi the
