'IP^y ^ffoi"^ some small satisfaction to you and the other mem- 

 bers of his family, to learn from me how highly he was valued, and how deeply 

 he was mourned and missed, not only by me, but bv all who were in official 

 relation with him. He had done excellently well during the short time he held 

 the Magistracy at Kandy, and I had just appointed him to act in a post of 

 great labor and responsibility, of which he was about in a few days to assume 

 the duties. He was one of the young men in the service whom I most trusted 

 and liked, and of whose future usefulness I felt most certain."

 FASHrONABLE_MARRIA(.E AT SAN , ter the ceremony about forty sat down 



to breakfast. There were represen- 

 tatives of -(various nationalities-^Eng- 

 hsh, Scotch, American, Italian, Rus- 

 sian, ' Spariish — and speeches were 

 m:ule in several languages. The Rev. 

 Alex. Robertson proposed the first 

 sentiment to the bride and bridegroom 

 He spoke of the pleasure the com- 

 pany had in numbering amongst their 

 friends Mrs. Sada. That she had led 

 during the past four years in Sa-i 

 Remo no idle, self-centred life, but a 

 busy, disinterested, philanthropic one. 

 He recounted the chief agencies with 

 which her name was associated, and 

 to which she had devoted time, 

 strength and money. Mr. Sada, Mr. 

 Robertson said, had kindred tastes, 

 and was engaged in advancinj the 

 same ohjects. He concluded hy ex- 

 pressing the wish and hope of the 

 company that holh would be loh^ 

 spared to each other in the enjoy- 

 ment of good health and great happi- 

 ness, and spared to lead in San Retao 

 and Tortona in union, what each had 

 led singly, a useful, benevolent arid 

 philanthropic life. The bridegroom, 

 in very*fitting terms, replied in Ital- 

 ian, and concluded by proposing the 

 health of Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, the 

 bride's father and mother. Mr. Ken- 

 nedy, he said, was known in Ameriea, 

 in Scotland (his native place being 

 Glenmorlston, Invernesshire), and in 

 Italy as a liberal supporter of every 

 good cause. It was from him and her 

 sainted mother that his wife had in- 

 herited her benevolent disposition, 

 and it was their example she was fol- 

 lowing. The Russian Ooa'sul, Mon- 

 sieur Rubitto, and others also spoke. 

 Mr. Kennedy suitably thanked the 

 company for the kindly way in which 

 ihey had received his name, and the 

 generous sentiments expressed re- 

 garding him and family. Signor Cas- 

 tilio having welcomed the bride to 

 Italy in an Italian speech, Mr. George 

 Macdonald, the novelist, replied for 

 the bride. The rooms were profusely 

 and tastefully decorated with flowSfj 

 — their wealth and beauty such as -Js 

 rarely seen out of Italy. , _ _,

On Satui^day, the 22nd ult., there 



was ^celebrated in San Remo, Italy, a 



.mar«age that in many respects pre- 

 sents features of interest. bride 



was Cora Kennedy Aitlven, a lady of 



Scotch extraction, bnt a naturalized 



American, and the bridegroom. Luigia 



Sada, an Italian. Boih bride and 



bridegroom have long been before 



the public of Italy. The former has 



been associated with many irhilan- 



thro.pic agencies. Tlie poor of San 



Remo she ' constantly hefriended, and 



it was touching on the marriage day 



to see crowds of them waiting to tes- 

 tify their gratitude and affection. She 



instituted night schools for the work- 



ingmen, who also were represented 



this day by their instrumental band 



discoursing nuptial music. But her 



name is most widely known in coft- 



nection with societies for the preven- 

 tion of cruelty to animals, which so- 

 cieties she has been the means of 



establishing and maintaining throu.gh- 



out Italy; and her services in this 



direction have been such as to call 

 for recognition at the hands of the 

 Vatican Government, who rewarded 

 her with a gold medal. Luigia Sada's 



name is associated with the vast rail- 

 ..Y-ay systems: of Chili and Peru. He 



was twenty-eight years in these coun- 

 tries constructing lines to hring their 

 great mineral wealth into the com- 

 mercial world. Having realized a 

 handsome fortune, he has retired to 

 an estate aii Tortona, near Milan. His 

 name is associated also with various 

 philanthropic agencies. 



Two marriage ceremonies were per- 

 formed — flrst a civil ceremony at the 

 Town Hall, and, secondly, a religious 

 ceremony in the Hotel de Londres. 

 The latter was according to the forms 

 of the Scotch Presbyterian Church, 

 and was performed by the Rev. Alex- 

 ander Robertson, minister of the Unit- 

 ed Presbyterian Church, who has 

 been stationed here during the winter. 

 This is the first Protestant nifirriage 

 ceremony that has ever l)een iicrfarni- 

 cd in Sp;i r.c:r,o. It accordingly ex- 

 cited a great amount of interest. Af- 

 Mrs. Sada died some years ago.
