My DEAR JERRY-Good news-the
best of news. First about Ellie, and
next about my picture. You remember
that the doctor when you brought
down to Corneille said that Ellie
| would recover entirely, and be as
she was wont to be. Well, it is
about two wears since then; and this little
miner girl graduated at the heightened
school to which my mother sent her,
with great success. She read an ESSAY
on frontier-life, which was wildly ap.
plauded and bouqueted.
"What does that beautiful product of
luxury know about frontier-life?" asked
Professor Guitot, the distinguished sauant,
of me. Aud told him; and he said it
was wonderful; and then | introduced
him. But, if you don't come East before
the 10th of next month, you can't be IN
troduced to Ellie Cochrane; for she will
have another name after that. SCJes
And now about my picture. Here is
my best newspaper notice, though the
critic evidently knew very little about art
"No. SOFT, by Mr.. Theodore P. Bar
clay, though done by new hand, is still
the work of person by nature, if not
by education, an artist. Itrepresents a
child with blonde hair falling over her
shoulders, and with an expression, half
Of sadness, half of fear, in her
large and beautiful eyes, in a sill
ver-mine, holding a candle in her
hand, as though looking for some
one The contrast between the darkness
of the mine and the sparkle of that por-
ton of the wall on which the light falls is
admirably done; while too much praise
cannot be given to the expression of the
face. But the lower part of the figure is
not defined with sufficient clearness; and
we think the artist made an error in the
choice Of brown for the color of the child's
dress, when red or blue would have been
a much more effective contrast"
This idiot, / suppose, wishes that | had
made Ellie into bluejay or flamingo
However, the picture has made a success,
and | can afford to be charitable.
My mother has unearthed the story of
Murray Cochrane, who, poor fellow, was
a victim to the wiles and villany of others.
1t is story which you have a right to
know, and shall hear when you come
East, as you will, am sure on receipt of
this letter, both for Ellie's sake and that

Floral Decorations at Parties.
BY NJ. B. BATEHAM.

The use of flowers and plants for the
decoration of parlors and tables, at fash
ionable parties and weddings, has increas.
ed wonderfully within few years. It is
not unusual for eight hundred Or a thou
sand dollars to be expended for flowers
and plants for single occasion. The sale
OF cut flowers in the city of New York is
estimated at over million dollars annu-
ally. About one-fourth of this sum is
expended in one month-at the season of
Christmas and New Years festivities, at
which time the florists are all taxed to
their utmost abilities, and extravagant
prices are often obtained for choice
flowers.
The HOrtlcuIturSst says the wholesale or
trade price the present winter is, for rose
buds, So to $8 per 100; camellias, $50:
tuberoses, $40; but the consumers pay
double these rates. As spring approaches
the prices decline. The little vine called
snaIdf is very much used, and sells for 80
cents to one dollar per yard. Mr. Hen
derson, the great florist, says there are
about twenty greenhouses, having an
area OF 10000 feet, in New York and
Boston, devoted to growing smilax alone;
and whole acres of glass structures de-
voted to rosebuds, violets, tuberoses, etc.
Fhlladeiphla paper says flowers are
quite the rage there. 1t is the fashion
now to send boxes of nice cut flowers as
presents, instead Of stitfiy tied bouquets,
and ladies greatly prefer this method, as
the flowers keep fresh much longer, and
can be used for a variety of purposes
Flowers purchased for funerals and we'd
dings are of the most expensive kind, and
yield large revenue to the growers. In
midwinter the price of a handsome bas-
ket or

"Much attention is given in Europe to
table floral decorations. The different
Horticultural Societies offer large prizes
for the best decorated dining table, and
III some cases these exhibitions are made
in rooms darkened for the occasion and
lighted with gas. Nothing prettier can
be imagined than some of these exhibit
ton tables. With one style was much
pleased. 1t consisted of border of low
flowers in shallow glass vessels, with
three central ornaments, as shown
in the engraving. This bordering Of
glass is about two inches in width, and
in sections of such forms that they can
be made into almost any shape desired.
Being partially filled with water, flowers
are arranged in them according to taste.

is from $40 to $50 Bouquets can be had
from So to $25. Single rosebuds cost 20
cents, and carnations 20 cents. Smilax
is sold for 81 yard, and one spray Of
lily of the valley costs % cents. Wealthy
people invest largely in flowers on all oc-
casions of festivity. Large floral bells,
which cost from 800 to $500, are ordered
for weddings; then the brackets and vases
must be trimmed and filled, and trailing
baskets of rare flowers must ornament
every table and tripod.
In London the demand for flowers for
indoor decoration is said to BE- astonish.
ing, and the prices paid for them on some
occasions quite amazing. The dinner
tables at fashionable parties are often per
fectly EMPOWERED with vines and flowers.
At a recent dinner the flowers cost one
thousand dollars. Much taste and skill is
displayed in the decoration of dinner or
supper tables; and to assist our readers
who may wish to try their hands at this
delightful art, we give the following ex-
tracts and illustrations from Vtct's Floral
Guide for 1878:

CUT WoRMs.-For fifty-seven years l
have saved the corn entirely from dam
age from the cut-worm, simply by coat
ing it with tar when planted. The muck
worm can be exterminated by the skunk,
if you will permit him in your fields. The
various cut-worms and other insects that
trouble garden plants may be kept in safe
limits by letting your hens and chickens
run among the vines. Fifty years exper-
fence has taught me some useful lessons.
Fowls can run among vines with safety;
at the same time the profit from fowls will
be four times as much profit as anything
else on the land.-Ro56rt Mansfield, in
Massachusetts, Psoughnan.
