A Jewish Wedding z The latest English papers contain long and minute accounts of a matrimonial alliance bo- tween the son of the Boglich and the daughter of the French Rothschild. The wedding re- past was laid out in two large rooms, both of which, says the London Times, were deoora- ted with exquisite taste and splendor. The walls were covered with large mirrors, with trellis-work between,on which were arranged elegant flors] decorations. Tables were ranged along the whole length of both apartmentr, and were literally piled up with silver and coatly wares Great centre-pieces, epergnes, candelabra, race cups, and massive tankards, flower vases, and the cie/s d’euvre of Let- res, Dresden and Worcester, strewed the board in rich profusion. The wedding cake, which was @ marvel of sugar architecture, was at the head of the table, upon a euperb and massive salver, while behind the seats cf honor rose up a buffet of gold plate, forming a back- ground quite in keeping with the gorgeour- ness of the whole seene. The covers were laid for one hundred and forty, and only the plate of the family was used. The bridal gifts are thus deseribed : * The bridal presents, both in quality and variety, were more than sufficient to have stocked an eastern bazaar; soa mere glance at the most prominent must suffice. Breakfast service, as.ususl, distinctly prevailed, there being some five or six of them, all of silver, except one set from Mrs Montefloee, which was of massive standard gold enriched with the most elaborate chasings. To this prince- ly giftsucceeded along row of comilesticke, geld and silver filogree, and encmeled ivory workbe ree, lace, fans, jeweled, buttons, prayer books, bound to gold and j-weled, escritvires of bubl and marqueteris, more breakfast ser- vices, and lace parasel The Jatter was in a kind of Jewel-case; the handle wag covered with serpents of rabies and diamonds, end the tip of each rib was formed of an oval-shaped emeraid and large pearl. Arranged on a ta ble by themselves were the jewels, a darzling pile, all | ies by different members of the Rothsebi family. Close by these, and in a .well-merited place of honor, were some hum ble but beautifully worked little presents from the scholars and pupil teachers of the Jewish free echools.”’ The marriage ceremony was performed at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and was conducted as follows, according to the Jewish custom : ‘* A yelvet canopy, supported by four of the bridegroom's garcons d honnexr, was placed atthe upper end of the room. The bride- groom was then led in by his nearest male rel- atiyes, and placed under the cano y. The bride, who till then bad reuahoed in ber apartment, descended to the saloon. attended by no less than sixteen brideamaids, all at- tired alike in white dresses, trimmed with light blue, the bride wearing the usual lace dreesand orange blossoms. At the doorof the ealoon she was met by her mother, who, as- sisted by the bridesmaids, completely envel- oped her whole figure and person ina veil, which reached to thy ground, and which is worn in compliance with the Scriptural verse in Genesis relatingto Rebecca. She was then conducted to the saloon with the same forms as the bridegroom. and placed under the can opy The Chief Rabbi having pronounced a most eloquent exhortation to each, the service wascommenced in Hebrew. ‘he betrothed then drank a cup of wine and water, and the bridegroom, taking the ring, placed it on the bride's finger, repeating in Hebrew lowly, ‘Behold thou art betrothed unto me, with this ring, according to the rites of Moses and racl.’”? The marriage coptract was then read; and prayers resumed, the betrothed again drank a glass of wine between them and the glass being laid on the ground empty, the bridegroom crushed it with bis foot, all the reletions at the same time wishing (in Hehrew) that the marriage might be happy, ard the bride and bridegroom be asirreyocably joined as the pieces of glass were sundered.’” About an hour after the marriage the visit- ors sat downto thedinner, wnich was honored by the presence cf the Frensh ambassador, and by Mr. Disraeli, and Lord John Russell In the evening s grand ball wae given, at which there was a large attendance of the aristocracy and J:au monde. se WALL STREET VOCABULARY. {From the New York Hera!d | Brii—in Wall etreet parlance, is an opera- tor in stocks foratise.

This class of speculators never buy stock for any other purpose than for delivery on maturing contracts ‘he bear sells principally on time, bis own or buyer's option, and generally waits until called upon to deliver before purchasing It is, of course, for his interest that the mar- ket should fiuctuateslargely and suddenly. Operators of the longest experience in Wall street are found among this clasa of specula- tora Soren’s Uption.—A parchaser of stock at the broker’s board, buyer’s option, thirty, sixty or ninety deys,can call for the stock any day within that time, or wait until its expiration. He psys intcreet at the rate of six percent. up to tne time he calls. A par chase on buyer's option is generally a fraction above the cash price Sguier's Orrion —This gives the eeller the option to deliver any time within the time of his Gontract, or at ite maturity, and the buyer is required to take it whenoffered. The buyer, in this case, as ip the other, pays interest up to delivery. Sales at eeller’s option are gen- erally 2 fraction below the current cash price. The epeculator who eells stocks either on his own or the buyers option, draws interest on hie contract for the date until it was closed. Conxen.—When a party is made up to buy a large amount of stock, s larger quantity than is known to be at the time on tue mar- ket, it is called a corner. The plan is goner- ally kept very private. As soon as the clique is formed, the brokers purchase graduaily large. lots of steck.on time, buyer’s option. After this bas been fixed, they sell on time, seller's option, if possible nearly to the ex- tent of their purchases on buyer’s option. The object of this is to provide a market for | this stuck, after the corner has run out. This having been all arranged, the clique com mence buying for cash, and in so doing put Inflated the mar- ket “she well, they make s sudden call for vera! ‘Tals creates at active demand, and the cliques sall their cash stock to the bears or shorts, who purchase at high rates for caged at muuch luwer prices to the very parties selling ‘it.

In that case the old cer- tificate is delivered with a power of attorney attached for the transfer or after the opening of the bocks. These transactions are Teport- ed in the etock list, with the letters p.ande, which means power and certificate.

Upon information derived in this way the curbstone brokers operate among themselves, and fre- quently with and for the account of outsiders. This class of speculators are particularly fond of operating in pats and calls, and in fact re- sort to all tbe difterent methods of doing a farge business on a small capital. The con- tracts of many of these curbstone brokers are infinitely beer than many of the regular board, and are taken more readily by out- siders. There are not more than fifty out of the two hundred members of the “Broker's Board’ who have actually any capital, acd whose contract is considered first rate It would bes good thing for the pro- feesion »nd for the community at large if the regular board was reduced one-half by tarn- ing ont about three-quarters of the present members, and making up the deficiency by admitting the most experienced and responai- ble of the present ourbstone board. Spread Eaote —This is aterm used fre- quently ameng etock speculators. A broker, sctisfied with ewall profits and not disposed toinvolve himself in large transactions, sells say 100 shares Erie railroad stock at 58, buyer 60 days, and at the same time buys the same quantity at 57, seller G0 daye. e difference in this cage in the price is one per cent , which wou!d be 80 much profit without any outlay of capital, provided both contracts run their fall time. Laving sold buyer’s option 60 days and bought seller’s option 60 days the time is equal, but it will be geen that he doce net control the option in either case. The by: can call when he pleases, which would com: the ‘ spread eagie”’ operator to deliver, aad the seller msy deliver any time, which would compel the broker to receive. If be has capi- tal to carry,sthe reeult would not differ from that ficst anticipated, but if not, he may be caughtin a tight place, and suffer serions losses. It is on the whole rather a dangerous businese, but not to the same extent as bu; and selling on time f.r a rise or fall in marke value Keoutar Way.—Very often in the re of stock sales the letters WwW. are at to certain operations. This “regular way” means the delivery of the stock sold the next day All sales for cash are forimmediate de- livery. birPige Hild thesia?
