(From the New Orleans Cresent.) * * * We have heard of two marriages of recent occurrence here. One was a mar- Ti romantic. It was that of a stocktrader in the upper part of the hac The wedding took place inchurch ; # hundred young ladies, dressed like houris, acted as bridesmaids, and and equal number of gentlemen as groomsmen. They formed a procession along the street which was distracting to behold: and entered the marital home from a street carpeted with flowers. High revelry was held to alate hour, and as matrimony is contagious, a small epi demic of weddings is expected to rage soon. The other was a marriage dramatic. A re- spectable young citizen woved and wona beau- tiful young lady, equal in station to himself. The wedding day was fixed, and everything in preparation; when the young lady suddenly discovered Fe many a one before her has done) that her affianced was not the saint he pre- tended to be; and in her mortification she dis- carded him. He then put on dignified airs, and told his friends that he had broken of the match, because he had discovered that the ung lady’s org Baba not as respectable as e had supposed. “This reached the ear of the young lady's brother-in-law, and he took it upon himself to interfere in a friendly way. The young man had packed his baggage for a Northern tour, and was on board a steamer which had her smoke up for departure. The brother-in-law there found him; introduced himself politely, and in the most persuasive manner in the world—namely, by putting one hand on the young man’s shoulder, and with the other fumbling in his own coat ket— asked him to step ashore and get married. ‘The young gentleman awoke to a sense of his un- Justness, and consented. In half an hour he was married and happy; the brother-in-law acting as his groomsman, and wishing him joy when the ceremony was over. Now, who is prophetic enough to tell which of the above marriages will end in the great- est happiness? © ee Young AMERICA IN THE CRIMEA.—A young American writing of what he saw in the Cri- mea, says: One would be surprised to see the difference between the feelings of the armies here. The English are all much downhearted, and do no- thing but lament their sad fate. If asked when they expect to return home, they wil! say most decidedly ‘‘ never;’’ feeling confident that if they escape death in the battle it is on- ly to be kept as subjects for the cholera, which reges fearfully. The French, on the contrary. have made several bowling alleys in their camp. and, with a canteen full of zrog, are perfectly regardless of their future fate, nevei looking further ahead than tic next meal time. It, however, speaks badly for the dis- ciplines of the armies to see the number of drunken soldiers et all times and places. The English are forced to keep sentries throughout their camp, to prevent the French from selling their soldiers liquor, as it has already caused the ceath of several. it being entirely pur- spirits. It sells from seven to ten franes pe: bottle. Cauirorsians ARniveD.—A goodly number of Californians, arrived by the Star of the West came up in the Siaten Island boat this mor>- ing, after having an hour or two's recreatio: on shore at Quarantine. They were a study in attire, countenance, and deportmert. Some of them, alas! showed unmistakable symp- toms of deep-rooted disease ; and even if they had acquired untold wealth, they had paid fa: too high a price for it. All bore the marks oi having rouzhed it in the El Dorado, and a few stemed to be hardened rather ths by their exposure. The majority. however, were wasted men. Beards. mousta-hes, anv unseiszored locks generally prevai their attire was of un exceedingly varied, but universally xeglige character. This mi truly said of them, that whatever sort of | they ore, they were themselves ‘ wide awake.""—N. ¥. Com. Adv. Amenicas So.piery.—The last Westminster Review hes an article on America that widely contrasts with much that has hitherto come from the British press. For instance it says “One knows not what is to be admired in the Mexican war—the facility with which ap army of volunteers submitted to discipline the perfection of their weapons. new inventions of America, handled with a skill previously unknown—the commissariat in a wild and vast country. or the flexibility of their mechanica adaptations as tu reporting, printing aud com- municating homeward.

Any mother could teach her child in 2 few days, with little in- convenience to herself, by this happy thought, an art that may save that child’s life.

Typoorarpuican Usion We leagn that the New Orleans Typographica Union has just had erected, in Greenwood Cemetery on Metarie Ridge, a very beuutifu and tasty tomb, a last resting place for it- members when “life’s fitful dream is o’er’ and their labors on eurth are ended. This is well, and as it should be. While it speak: favorably of the economy and forethought of the printers, it will long stand as a monumeat of sacred feelings which dignify and sdorn human nature. The tomb is eighteen by twenty-four feet, constructed of buick with marble front, contains twenty-four vaults and four receptagjes, and is cemented inside.—. O. Bulletin: A Max cay ort Drunk IN e1s own House A ease occurred under the Maine law in this city, on Tuesday, in which a decision was given in favor of the defendant. A man Wae considerably intoxicated, and was making disturbance in his own house, was arrested ant arraigned before the justicy on acharge ol vivlating the provisions of the new law. The peint urged by the counsel for the defence was, that the law did not authorize the appre- tension of a man for being intoxicated in hi- own house.
