stand Of flowers, Mrs. Patterson, q handsome,
though not tall lady, of very pleasing manners and
appearance, received the lady guests. She wore
an elegant white lace shawl which quite envel.
oped her person, and long curl fell down her
back. The simple unaffected grace of this lady,
and her entire freedom from pretension either In
garb or manner, attracted highly favorable COM
ment. Mrs. Patterson is quite young lady and
when some of the bare-srmed, bare-necked,
would-be juvenile dowsgers were presented to
her, the contrast was entirely in favor Of the
presidents daughter.
Mr.. Seward was present In evening dress, and
the victim Of q prodigiously high wide stock OF

voted himself to entertaining the ladies in the blue
room. Secretary Browning, of the interior, an
obese gentleman, was on hand, attached to an
immense shirt frill ruffe that stuck out In front
like the bowsprit of q ship, and was in every way
impressive and imposing. The postmaster gene

Welles was, perhsps, the finest looking man in

We were shown yesterday by Col. s. N. Moody,
one of the inaugural cards of invitation" gotten
up for the ball in Washington on the 4th March.
The card in itself Ia piece of curiosity. sight
Of it would remind our readers of the negro farce
enacted at the Academy of Music. where negro
man is intrusted with the doorkeepership of g
ball, with instructions to let one in unless he
exhibits q ticket, pays two dollars or gives
"squivilent," (equivalent) and is about the size
of the ticket of the dead head who applies for
admission-ten and half inches by seven and q
half. 1t might be used like the dead heads ticket
which is divided into twenty more parts in order
that the fractions might represent the "squivi.
lent given by all those who enter the ball by in
timidating or deceiving the negro doorkeeper. 1t
Is, however, gotten up in excellent style far as
the engraving is concerned. The center of the
ticket is a plain frame work containing these
words
March 4th, 1869.

those of E. d. Morgan, U. 8. A, R. G. Schenck,

A bust of Grant surmounts this frame work,
and is surrounded by halo of light in which the
words 'let Us have peace" can be read. The
frame is supported on the right by the figure of a
female representing Liberty, at the foot of which
horn of plenty pours out the products of the
soil. The dome of the capitol is seen in the dis
lance. On the left another female figure. holding
in her hand the palm of peace, rests against the
framework and stands upon dismounted cannon,
and at her feet agricultural implements and pro-
ducts denote the pursuits of the people in times of
peace. In the back ground full rugged ship is
seen.
The ticket was inclosed in a white envelope,

Maryland Correspondence.

Maryland, like large number of
her sister States, is Just now suffer-
ing from protracted drouth, which
threatens to produce considerable
change in the prices of potatoes and
corn, together with other disastrous
results, too numerous to mention
Our wheat harvest was much
above an ordinary yield, but what
we gained above previous years
IN wheat, will be over balanced IN the
loss Of corn, which, by the>bye, is
the chief crop in northern and south
western Maryland. Tobacco will be
about half crop, and with the loss
OF two OF our principal articles of
commerce, we may look for search
ty OF money aud considerable want
among the poorer classes of people.
We are compensated somewhat by
an unusual crop of fruit but our Cit
liens need the Yankee enterprise to
turn even this to any practical &C.
count. Considerable cider is manu-
featured and stored away in damp
cellars, t. utterly waste in the
bursting of barrels and constant
leakage during the next twelve
months. A late visit to Ohio and

best farmers make here on 200 acres

The Agricultural Fairs.
From the Wisconsin.

The season for county and state
fairs will soon be here, and it be-
hooves the farmers and mechanics to
be prepared for them Properly con.
Quoted they may be made the means
Of great stimulation and improves
ment in the mechanic and agricultu-
raj arts; but as too frequently man
aged they are Of no practical benefit
whatever, and serve rather to disgust
spectator and exhibitor. What is
necessary TO their success is: that
all should be interested in them
that they should show that interest
by preparing something for exhibi-
ton, and preparing it in the best pos
sible manner. There is nothing
grown on the farm that is not capa-
BILE of indefinite Improvement, and
the same is true of the products of
the workshop and the factory. The
effort to improve in ones calling,
that is to produce better article
from time to time, reacts with two
fold force upon the producer it
stimulates his mental faculties and
increases his interest in his calling
Farmers are peculiarly liable to fall
into set ways of doing their work,
the result of which is a loss of in
terest in their occupation, and sup
preston of that enthusiasm which is
sure to bring success in any work.
This will apply in some degree to
the artisan. But let farmers and
mechanics come together in spirited
rivalry at fairs, whore the products
of the labor are exhibited to one
another and to spectators from other
occupations, and they get new ideas
in regard to their work, and an en-
thusiasm is reused within them which
never fails to result in advancement.
In order to secure full exhibitions
the officers should offer high premi-
ums for the best articles and products
in the most important lines-premi-
ums which will be real stimulus to
effort. and which if secured by the
exhibitor, will abundantly pay him
for the extra labor and pains which
he has expended. If it be urged that
it is difficult to obtain the money for
such premiums, we would say make
an extra effort to get it, and when it
is once got and high premiums are
actually paid such fair will be the
result as will draw an attendance
that will fill the treasury of the socie
ty to OVERLOOKING. 1t is easier &c
make good fair pay than a poor
one.
Again money is sometimes frittered
away upon things which do not come
properly within the province of agri>
cultural fairs, or which are of small
Importance. Let the money premi-
nms be confined to the useful pro-
ducts of the farm, and to those OF
the workshop which relate to the
farm, and reward other things with
diplomas.
1T once our agricultural fairs can
be made real success, the stimulus
that would result to farm culture
would speedily be apparent in better
farms, better farm products and
farmers with fuller pockets. Farm
ers, by an effort on the part of all OF
you, you can make your annual ex,
hibitions not only profitable but the
pleasantest season of the whole year
