REPUBLICAN SIMPLICITY.

A despatch in a New York paper states from Louisville (Kentucky) that the most notablo event in society this sea«on was the weddiug at nine o'clock at night of October 27th, of Mr Sydney Smith. Muir and Miss Sara Lloyd Birge. The ceietnouy was performed at the resideuce of the bride's sister, Mrs Sterling B. Toney, No. 931, Third Avenue, in the presence of a large and brilliant assemblage, and afterwards there was a magnificent supper and reception. The bride's trousseau came from Paris, and was the most costly ever prepared for si Southern girl. The wedding dress, which has been the admiration of society people for a week, was of white satin, sparkling with seed pearls and silver etching. The corsace is square and low, after the latest Parisian fancy, with a delicate vest all gleaming with seed pearls and dainty cords of silver exquisitely woven together. Down the left side of the skirt runs a broad panel, ornamented with a aheaf of wheat wrought in silver and seed pearls, and created with a delicate garland of orange blossoms, jessamine, and lilies of the valley. The right side of the skirt shows a wreath of the same rare flowers, and the train is long, broad, and sweepiug. The back and front of the skirt are quite plain.
