Travellers And conductors are beginning to notice on the railroads a more than usual number of spring and summer. wedding tour ists. Ready money is abundant and just to that sort of amount that' few men in these clays can find any more useful or profitable investment, of it than to getting married. Those bachelors, old and young, who have made their fortunes within the last, three years in oil er,coal, or railroad stooks' or war contracts, find this a convenient season for resting a few monthi, taking a wife and me, king a marriage tour to Europe, spreading themselves in Paris, and doing the Great Ex hibition, Italy, Gre - st Britain. and the rest of. the world in half a year. Those tourists get out of sight of the American ;world, add are not worthintr_notieshere, for; with`them, all is conventional and regulated simplY, by one thing—the amount-of money they-:have to spend. 1 - Jenkins arranges it. all and pub lishes it in the newspapers. -' - lint there is another far more interesting and unsophisticated class who daily catch the eye of the conductor, and are recognised by him arid all-old -travellers on railroOs and steamers at a glance—the -bridegrooms and their-brides who, travel by themselves a few hundred miles on their • tours, followed to the cars by weeping, yet happy bald headed fathers. On all the routes leading( to and from Niagara, are these . to be seen' They, have private snits of rooms pre.onaged at all the stopping places, and have e idently r the idea that they have so arranged matters that they ere not and cannot be ktown as bridal tourists. This is not that ley are ashamed of each .other,but simply that their enjoyment Is in eac other's koeiety, and' they do not. want to be criticised and remarked upon by profane strangrs. So I lity fancy they are travelling incog. And yet how easy it is to the. careful eye to tell how many days or . even hours they have been - married, by the very pains_ they take to seem either like Old married fke, or cousins as • they promenade -on the eck of the steamer, or sit, eyes so demure, in the ol d cars I . - ~ , , Their - dress detects them ' in part: It is all so neat, symmetrical and new. !If the parties have good taste, there is not a spark of ahowitiese about their attire. , Al glitter and display are laid aside, and s a who was a fashionable belle , last win r, •and drove out in such splendid satins a silks to do, her shopping, is now Positive more like a Quaker in a simple travellin dress of mouse or drab color., Often th young culprits pretend for: a whiffs to, be laying at levers or flirtation, but it will o f do.
