MISS BLAINE's MARRIAGE.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Post says: The event of the
future which is most interesting to soci-
ETY. people here is the wedding Of Miss
Alice Blaine, daughter of the ex.Secre-
tary, to Col. Coppinger, of the REGULAR
army. This will OCCUR next month, in
Washington. 1t will be the first we'd
ding in the Blaine family, none Of the
other sons and daughters being married,
or, so far as is publicly known, having
any intention of marrying. The gr0oms-
man is a son of an Irish nobleman, was
born in Ireland and is communicant
of the Roman Catholic Church. He is
40 years of age. tall and of fine personal
appearance. Miss Blaine is some twen-
ty-five years younger than Col. Cop
pinger. whom, by the way. according to
Dame Rumor, she first met at ono OF
our far Western military posts, whore
the Colonel was stationed, and where
Miss Blaine was visiting the family OF
the oommandant. II is said that the
bride elect will shortly embrace the
Roman Catholic faith.

TIE FoRxsrs OF GRAxD IsIz, VT
The region of Grand Isle, Vt, il said to
have suffered a depletion Of half its
forest timber in the past thirty years.
Hundreds of acres of land have been
cleared entirely OF heavy timber and re-
duced to tillage or pasture. and tho for
ests now standing have been thiunod
ont and culled extensively. Il is claimed
there is hardly farm that could replace
its cedar fence from its own forests, and
scarcely one with sufficient TO rebuild
its dwelling and out buildings, while on
many farms there is no timber for fuel.
Little or no timber planting has been
done. The island was at one time
famous for ita magnificent oaks, the
stumps Of many grand trunks still
standing, and thsre II hardly . pine
tree fit for q spar. Every farm ouce
had sugar orchard. and now there are
hardly any that can be worked. In
fact, the oak, pine, hemlook, tamarack,
cedar and maple arc practically ex-
hausted, though at frst blueh il might
seem that tho forests were quite exten-
sive. The few groves of sscond-growth
cedar are being largely utilized for hop
poles, which bring, standin9, 2 or !
cents each, but II loft n grow ahout q
years or 90 they would b worth about
81 each for posts, telegraph poles, o.
ship knees.

Short-horns for the Farm.
Correspondence of the Baeeder's Gazette

Correspondence of the Baeeders Gazette,
Among all the varieties of domestic
animals there is none that is more
essentially the farmers stock than the
Short horn breed of cattle. The COW
is necessity on the farm-on every
farmland the Durham sort, as we
believe, is better fitted to meet at the
wants OF the former than any other.
This is its growing and prominent
merit But fine breeder has attained
this excellence by being bred on the
farm and accustomed to the keep and
care ordinarily furnished by the prac-
teal husbandman, and furnishing the
dairy products, as we'll as the meat,
to supply his daily wants,
The characteristics required to CON
stitute the highest excellence in the
farmers cow being thus established in
the Short horn race more than hun
bred years ago, have only been pre-
petusted in the herds that have been
bred, cared for and used as farm
stock, with view to profitable utlIi-
IT,
To this profitable excellence the
breed owes the high rank 1t now holds
in every country that has achieved
eminence in agriculture.
1t is net claimed that good Short
horns may not be reared by breeders
who make the business speciality,
and where it is entirely disconnected
with other branches of agriculture
bnt it is confidently insisted that, fol
the reason already stated, cattle rear.

grazed and fed, and in all respects
we'll cared Tor, as farm stock, in q
system of mexed huSbandry, ought tc
be. and are. other things being equal,
better and more profitable for breed
ing purpose than animals of the same
blood they are bred from herd
kept especially to rear breeding
stock.

Climate of the Large Cities of the
United States.
San TraneIseo Chronlcle.

The cities of the Union experience
every variety of summer temperature
In Boston and Detroit there are a few
days of hot weather; the rest are cool,
and in October summer gives place to
the copious autumn rains and a chill
that is more penetrating than the win
ter cold itself. But nothing can be
more delightful than the temperature
of June July and August in Michi-
gan and throughout most of New
England. The Summers in New York
City are longer and more disagreeable
but the hot spells last but few days
and then are relieved by showers and
GOODNESS. The summer temperature
of Chicago is much like that of New
York. The unfortunate citizen Of
Cincinnati swelters from the LIST Of
June till the LIST of October. The
nights bring no relief, being even
warmer than the days. The average
temperature in St. Louis is excessive,
though more reasonable. New Or
leans enjoys perpetual summer, with
a degree of heat not intolerable TO the
native but unbearable to the visitor
from TIE NOflu- MODllb, charleston
and Savannah have similar climatic
conditions. Perhaps the loveliest
summer climate in the world is found
in the Cumberland Mountains, that
extend through the western part of
the Carolinas, a portion of Tennessee
and the northern counties of Georgia
and Alabama. It's characteristics are
days whose heat is easily borne and
nights whose GOODNESS is balmy and
mvigorating. But elsewhere at the
at the South, and in the Vert. and in
many cities of the North the sum-
mers are looked forward to with dread
and those who are able to escape to
the mountains and woods or seek a
refuge IN the country boarding houses
which offer choice of evils. Those
who live in cities east of the Rocky
Mountains go to the country to es-
cape the heat; people in San Francis
co for quite a different reason, name
ly, to get the warmth and dryness not
found beside the Pacific.

Watermel0n Trade.
New York Sun.

An estimate, which seems to have
been made with considerable pains,
says that the number of melons raised
in Georgia this season was not far
from 6, 500, 900. About 1,200. 600 were
eaten in Georgia, made into syrup,
opened for the seeds or left ON the
vines Three acres of land produce
three car loads. There are about /, :
200 melons in a carload The cost
of raising a carload is not far from
S14, and that of gathering and load
ing Is SIS. The average net profit is
about $45 to the carload. The total
profit on the Georgia crop this season
was nearly $3.50, 600. Despite the fact
that the crop was very large, the mel
on-raiserS are not satisfied with the
results The unusually late spring
retarded the Southern Georgia crop,
and it was marketed with the Nor
thern Georgia crop, producing a glut
in the market. The late Spring in
the North retarded the demand and
shortened the season for selling mel
ons. Old melon. raisers made money,
but men inexperienced in the business
failed to handle their crops tie the best
advantage, and many of them are
belived to have done no more than
to come out without loss. The
number of acres in Georgia devot-
ed to melons next year viii be larger
still.

that he would never be hanged. When
