Marriage a La Mode.

--The Northern papers announce an engagement between Ex-Gov., now Senator, Sprague, of Rhode Island, to Miss Kate Chase, daughter of the virtuous Salmon. Such trifles are not considered secret in Yankee high life, and are paraded before the public with the most disgusting freedom and fullness of detail. "Half the girls in Rhode Island," says the Louisville Democrat, "have been trying to catch the young statesman he is so rich." Another paper announces that the "young lover presented his affiance the other day with a ring worth $5,000 in gold." A third prates of the "tender and blushing" affection between the two "distinguished and handsome betrothed."
