Da Soin.a Cabral is principal owner of nine of the richest diamond mines in boutn America, and from thcin, in the aggre gate, -he derives an annual income of not less than $20,000,000. ,Ilis inter-r ests in gold mines ' probably amounts to as much more, and I am cognizant of the fact that last August he sold a one-tenth interest in the celebrated Bahia Mine of which, until then, lie had been the sole proprietor, for $3,- o00,000, gold. II is diamond interes in South Africa and Siberia he lately estimated under oath (in .some legal proceedings before court in Minas Ge raes) at the enormous sum of $50,000, 000! lie has, beside a great penchant for real estate, and I was but recently informed by one of his ageuts, a thor oughly trustworthy man, that Cabral's rentals in London and Glasgow alone ield over 1 Q,000 aunuallv.

The bridegroom, young Throckmorton is descended from one of the oldest and wealthiest families of the "blue grass conn try," as he loves to call it. lie came to lirazu with a matter of $500,003" in his own right, and since has prospered lamousiy, sotnat to-day he cannot be worth Jess than $6,000,000. But a , poor pittance in comparison with his father-in-law's overwhelming gigantic fortune,'' but still quite sufficient to relieve him from the imputation of marrying the fair Mai ia Cabral for mohev. He met her first a year ago at a ball at Pernaui buco, and the result was a case of love at first sight on both their parts, (at least, so "they say").

Let me ! briefly state that, so far as 1 could judge the great heiress was married in clothes befitting her position. I ami indebted to a lady guest for the information that her dress was of point lace, flounced, or rather garlanded, to the waist . with strings of seed pQar8,'with tho vol uminous train edged with a filagree of gold thickly set with diamonds. Her leek was circled by her father's vondcrful offering, besides which there vere diamonds banded on her hair and fln bracelets on her wrists. She was qeatainly. TIIE MOST BLAZING BEAUTY.

There was one feature of the" wed ding arrangements which struck me might better have beeu omitted entire- ijf or at least very materially mpdiGed, but which, nevertheless, in this mock it made ot erpeust J vas quiL'iul'cecping witii all tho other features! I allude to the phenomenally hospitable provis ion made for the hack men who drote guests to and from the festivities. On the velvet lawn just outside the Cabral mansion, a dozen or more exqniste cevres vases were set, corresponding in size and shape to an American peach DasKec, each one of which was heaped to the brim with the gold coin of the country. Tho drivers as thev drop ped their lojids had their attention called to the currency in the vases and "cm coruiauy invited to help them- auuoitum. as oiten as J tho vases were emptied they werp prompt ly replenished bv servants detailed for that sole purpose.
