WNTRy WINDs.-Its all right for poets to
sing the praises Of the beautiful snow, and
the merry sleigh-bells, and the ringing skates
on the CLASSY ice, but they can't fill the bill
with that sort of stuff when one is sitting
with his feet in tub of hot water, his head
done up in tlannels, and with mustard plas-
ters ON both sides of his chest. What per-
son needs then is thorough dose of Kidney
Wort to act as "A cathartic, for nothing will
so quickly relieve that congestive, feverish
condition which comes of hard cold. Often
these colds cause bilious attacks, lame backs,
disordered kidneys, rheumatism, catarrh,
etc. Kidney Wort can be relied on to bring
back healthy condition

says: " Kidney-Wort has done more for me

ing, upon invitation of Mr.. and Mrs. II. G.
Ellis, large number of friends gathered in
their pleasant home to assist in celebrating
the twenty-fifth anniversary of their mar
riage. About hundred gathered around
the bountifully spread tea-tables, and the
number was considerably increased in the
evening. Among the presents we noticed a
plars, a silver cake-basket and pair of nap
kin-rings, from friends in the village, and
other articles too numerous to mention. A
fine album from the brothers of Mr. Ellis was
delayed on its way from Chicago, where it
was purchased, but it will be quite as
much valued when it arrives. The occa-
sion was an enjoyable one throughout, and
will long be remembered by those present.

Ely.-The great social event of the season
was the marriage, at the residence of Miss
Martha Long, of her sister Miss Emma G..
Long, to Mr.. H. G. Robinson, the popular
train dispatcher on the Boston & Lowell
railroad. The wedding was very quiet,
only the relatives and their families being
present. Immediately after the ceremony,
at ten o'clock, an elegant wedding break
fast was served, and the newly-married
pair left for their future home in Boston,
Mass. A pleasant incident of the wedding
was the christening of the little two-years-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. P. johnson, the
latter sister of the bride. The wedding
presents were more numerous and elegant
than are often seen in a country village,
being mostly costly and durable articles, of
silver, and some exquisitely painted china.

BUDS AND BLOSSOMS.


Every year" said a prominent florist,
there seems to be an increase in the taste
for gardening. 10 fact, some Of the flor
lists complain that the number of private
greenhouses has so increased as to make
serious rivals for professional growers, from
the fact that owners of private houses put
their surplus on the market after supply
ing themselves They cannot, however,
object to the growing rage for Landscape
gardening, which is spreading steadily
through the suburbs. Ii Is only year or
two since this tendency has been so marked
and of Landscape gardening in its broader
sense there is little or none here.
The landscape gardener proper is an
artist and an architect, with a knowledge
of proportion and perspective. His effects
are produced with reference, in laying out
his ground, to the buildings upon it aud its
size, shape and surroundings. 1t Is his
business to bring out his strong points by
putting them In good perspective and hid
ing unsightly objects with ornamental ones,
such as trees for tho landscape is tree
planter and hillmaker and leveler. His
art is to create perfect toW ensemble"
"There are spring fashions in flowers, are

"Well, not so much in gardening as in
however, that certain flowers take much
better than others. For instance, last year
/ introduced the English rhododendron.
People didn't understand it at first and
there were not many sold until they
boomed, This year people know the
flower, and have imported four times MS
many as last year"
I'm what order do the flowers Gomez
The earliest" said the florist, smiling,
is not much sought after. 1t Is a white
flower which blooms under the snow in
January, and, from its conglomerate odor,
is called the skunk cabbage. OF the spring
flowers we get first the crocus and then the
anemone, liverwort, hyacinth, violet and
pansy. The lilac trees bud later"

ut seems that the further out of sea-

quets."

The President Well Pleased with

The latest intelligence from Miss Cleve-

that she has left New York city and gone
to her old home at Holland Patent, Oneida

hills from his windows has actuated him
to make inquiries as to the best roads by
which to reach them, for, with the eXcep-
tion Of ride to Arlington Cemetery he has
not paid much attention to Virginia. In
the next few days however, he proposes to
make up this omission, and win visit

Statesmen who Fish.

The President will find plenty Of fisher
men among the statesmen In Washing ton
irrespective of party. Senator Wade Hamp-
ton of South Carolina, is perhaps at once
the most enthusiastic and the most scien-
tifc sportsman in public life. Next to
him, and easily first in the northern half
of the country, | would rank William p.
Frey, Senator from Maine.
George Graham Vest, Senator for Mis-
souri,, little but weighty man, with brains
and an eloquent tongue, is great fisher
man. President Cleveland has found 1t
out, and they may go OIL together to some
nearby place before long for days sport.
Ex.President Arthur and Senator Vest used
to make up party for such purpose every
now aud then. Vest is an enthusiast. He
likes all sorts of hunting and fishing. He
has seen almost every kind that eau be
found on this continent. Beck and Black
burn of Kentucky are better matched as
sportsmen than the Senators from any other
State.
Edmunds is one OF your dry, silent per.
slsient, scientific fishermen who always
get the fish they're after If they have to
90 back next year 10 do ii. Governor
Stewart of Vermont who has q seat in
the Honse Of Representatives and lives
with Edmunds when he's here, Is very
active fisherman. He owns an island in
Lake Champlain, where he keeps open
house for his friends during the summer.
Palmer of Michigan osa toll you all you
care to know about fish. lie has caught
everything worth catching on oceau lake,
gulf and river. He is particularly we'll
up in lake fishing. He is such splen-
did fellow that it is a pleasure to hoar
him tell even fish stories. Garland and
Lamar are the fishermen ofthe Cabinet.
Whitney likes ocean fishing from yacht.

Sunshadcs of tho new patterns have
grown to great size. They are, in fact,

perfectly flat, Chinese fashion. Some are

that overtops the ordinary in female gear.
The Jacket part reaches but little below
the waist, and is finished by a. rich, fancy
edge of jet embroidery below which Is
added veritable skirt OF black lace, which
is often nearly as long as the skirt of the
gown worn beneath. The upper portion Is
made of velvet-brocaded grenadino, chenille
dotted gauze, Escurial grenadine satin bro
cade, black Sicilene-beaded nets and many
other costly materials of black, suitable
for summer wear.
As was customary last year, summer
muslins, lawns and other semi-diaphanous
gowns are being trimmed with velvet col
lar and cuffs, with a liberal sprinkling of
velvet bows scattered oyer the bodice and
skirts. These are very elective, aud greatly
add to the appearance ola light-colored
toilet; but it is always necessary to have
these fastened in a manner that admits of
detaching them when the inevitable day
of their being consigned to the wash-tub
arrives. The very smallest Of safety pins
are of commendable value for this purpose,
and by fastening them inside the bodice or
dfapiDg they are rendered invisible.
All told, the summer rig of our fashion
able bellies is going to be more than stun

THE SWEDISH MISSION.

THE GLOBE publishes this morning a com.
munieation urging the selection OF the MN
lister to Sweden aud Norway from Minnesota,
and presenting cogent reasons in support OF
his proposition. There would be something
exceedingly appropriate in following the
suggestion of our correspondent, for, as be
alleges, there is perhaps 4 larger Scandinavian
population in Minnesota than IN any other
state Of the Union. The probabilities are
that the large proportion Of immigration
from Sweden and Norway in the future will
be to the Northwest In recognition of this
claim, in part at least, Gen. GRANT came 70
Minnesota for his aPPointee to Gil that mis-.
sion. and there IS but little doubt that when
the matter is properly presented to President
CLEVELAND he will see the i'm Importance Of the
suggestion and act accordingly. There is an
abundance Of good material among Mime
sofa Democrats, aud the GLOBE eheerfully
gives prominence TO the suggestion.
