Married by Proxy.

Among the CABIN passengers on the
bark Veronica, which arrived at this
port from Fayal recently, says the
New Bedford Mercury, was young
lady, perhaps twenty years of age,
quite pretty, who was registered on the
passenger list by the modest title of
Louisa Augusta de Olivera. This young
lady was married at the islands several
weeks ago. yet singularly the first
glimpse of her husband was obtained
through the cabin window of the We
ronica, as he stood on Propeller Wharf
impaticntly waiting for the vessel to
come alongside the dock.
The steward of the Veronica explain
ed 10 reporter that marriage by proxy
was not uncommon among the island
ers. 1t is becoming popular, for worse
than awkward results have frequently
followed where the girl has travelled q
she is betrothed, and the latter refuses
to marry because the young lady does
not realize his antcipations. Careful
mothers are accordingly averse to send
ing away their daughters on this G. o.
D. subject to approval principle, and
now demand some guarantee OF good
faith.
The courtship in the present instance
was conducted by friends of the young
lady and gentleman. Photographs
were exchanged and the compact was
made. The bridegroom forwarded a
power of attorney, and the ceremony
CT marriage was performed by priest
at Fayal, marrying the young girl to q
man thousands of miles away. The
play of "Hamlet" with Hamlet left out
can be no comparison 10 a wedding
without bridegroom.
With her marriage certificate the
young lady engaged passage on the
Veronica, and exhibited some impa-
tience, SO the steward says, at the
length of the passage. As the vessel
came up the harbor she grew pardona-
bly, anxious, and scanned the wharf in
tently as the vessel was docked. At
length young man came into the cab
| in, and said man on the wharf sent
him to see if his wife was aboard. The
steward asked him to point out the
man, which he did. The girl exhibited
the liveliest interest, and looked her
husband over with critical and, on
the whole, approving eye.
The messenger returned with the
husband. The girl flushed, the hus-
band smiled, and they prosaica.l ly
shook hands. Each was apparently
completely satisfied with their venture,
and the husband bore his young wife
proudly away.

Shade Trees of Washington.

Paris is the only city that has more
shade-trees than Washington. There
are now $4,000, covering l25 miles. No
city in the world has planted trees so
Systematically. Yet all this has been
done within few years. The streets
are supplied from three large nurseries,
where there is now stock of $4,000
small trees. Several thousand of the
trees came from slip brought from
Baltimore in the pocket of one of the
Commissioners. Less than $500 has
been expended in the purl hase of trees,
and the entire annual cost of raising,
planting, and protecting is less than
$4,000. The largest item of expense
is the boxing to protect the trees
against horses and vandalism. In
some cases skeleton iron boxing is
used. The wooden boxes are made at
the Government Industrial School at a
cost of 35 cents each. and about $4,000
are put up or renewed yearly. The
cost is borne in equal shares by the
Government and p. oper,y- ,wners. The
var r.e;ies of maple, chiefly soft maple.
are most numerous. There are also
sugar maple, Norway maple, sycamore
maple, scarlet maple, the American
elm, American linden, buttonwood, box
elder, American ash, tulip poplar. asp
en- poplar, Kentucky coffee, gincho,
horse chestnut, European linden, hon
ey locust, catalpa, sweet gum. weep
ing elm, eucalyptus, cypress, etc. The
trees on streets are planted at the curb.
On the avenues they are four abreast,
one at either curb, and one in the
building line in the wide parking" SO
that they form an arched arbor above
the sidewalks. The finest single street
will be Massachusetts, avenue, where
lindens are planted four abreast
throughout four miles, recalling fa-
nous Inter den Linden in Berlin.
The asphalt pavement prevents alb
sorption of nutriment. Brick pave
men are retained where practicable.
as they admit or absorb moisture
readi y. The soil hard red clay, is
not favorable. The trees are, there
fore, actually fed by hand, by packing
nutritious soil at the roots, space
about three feet square being left in
the surrounding pavement for thatpu
pose. This food is renewed when nu-
triment is exhausted, and change of
diet is often found necessary to meet
the needs of the tree. The button
wood is, perhaps, the tree best adapt
ed naturally to the soil and climate of
the city Outdoors and Indoors.

< PRAYER CURE.
Clyde Excited over n Wonderful
Case.

Correspondence Toledo Bee.
CLYDE, o., March l6.
A wonderful case of cure by prayer
and faith is exciting no little comment
in Clyde at present. Mrs. w. n.
Painter, wife of former pastor of the
Clyde NJ. E.Church, has been seriously
ill at the house of her daughter, Mrs.
W. S. Evans, for some time past. This
lady is sixty years of age; has suffered
from a severe affection of the lungs
for about twenty-five years, and has
been regarded by physicians and
friends as lncurable and very near to
death for several weeks past. But
Mrs. Painter and few Of her most IN.
innate friends have been making her
recovery the subject of special prayer,
which was signally answered last Sat.
urday morning, when Mrs. Painter
arose from her bed and declared her.
self healed. This sudden and marve
lous transition from almost utter help
lessness to perfect health and cores
ponding strength, seems to admit of
but one explanation. That the case is
genuine cannot be doubted. The facts
and circumstances are quite generally
known throughout the village where
Mrs. Painter spent three years of her
life as minister's wife, and was uni.
versally loved and respected for heI
many good qualities of heart and head
She will probably return with pel
husband to their present home al
Fredericktown, Knox Co., some time
next week.

Special Bulletin for June.

WASHINGTON CITY, July /, 1884.

SIGNAL OFFICE, w AR DEPARTMENT., [
WASHINGTON CITY, July 1, 1884.
The mean temperature for the month of June,
1884, was below the average for the correspond
ing month in the middle Atlantic states, the mid
die Pacific coast region, and throughout the
southern part of the United States, the districts
of greatest departure below the normal being
Tennessee, the eastern Gulf states, and middle
Pacific coast region, where the deficiency amount
ed to over 4 O. Over the northern portions OF
this country the month was warmer than usual
with the exception of the upper Mississippi val
ley, Oregon, and Washington Territory, where
the mean temperature has not differed from the
normal. In Montana, the northern portions OF
Dakota and Minnesota, and in New England the
mean temperatures for June have averaged from
20 to 80 g above the normal; in the Ohio val
ley and in the lower lake region from Q 2 to
. IS above, and in the upper lake region and
Missouri valley from 0 Q IS to 0o.9 above.
The rainfall for June was decidedly below the
average in the Ohio, upper Mississippi and Mis-
souri, Valleys in the northern portions of Dakota
and Minnesota, IN the lake region, and New Eng
land; the deficiencies in these districts varying
from 1 to slightly over inches. The rainfall
was also below the average in the Rio Grande val
ley where the deficiency amounted 10 about q Of
an inch In the middle Atlantic states the aver
age rainfall was slightly over 81 inches, which
is the normal amount for June. On the Pacific
coast, in Tennessee, the south Atlantic and Gulf
states the rainfall exceeded the June average;
on the Pacific coast it about three times an
great as the average amount, which is slightly
less than u inch; and in the eastern Gulf states
and Tennessee it was about double the average.
On tn 18th and 10th damaging frosts occurred
in New England, and light frosts occurred on
those dates az far south of southern New Jersey.

ture and total rainfall for last month at the prn-
