Through the courtesy of u wide
awake and progressive fellow.townsman,
DR.. H. T. Bahnson, we enjoyed a visit to
the Sedgefeld Farm, near our city. This
farm, three years ago, when it passed
into his hands, was furrowed by un-
slightly gullies, and envelopedin briars,
vines, ~sassafras and all name of noxi-
ous weeds. To-day it presents fields Of
waving grain, and rich, luxuriant clover,
grasses, and neatly arranged meadows.
We found an Osborn Irvine binder drop
ping neatly tied bundles Of wheat at regu-
lar intervals, ready for the shock. His
carp ponds-two in number, and the
best arranged and best adapted to carp
culture of any we have ~seen--were liter
ally swarming with fish, which follow
him as fondly as a brood of pet chickens.
In these ponds are to be seen over twenty
five varieties of water lilies, some Of them
coming from the tropics, and are as beau
tiful as they are rare.
The Doctor is an enthusiastic lover of
fine stock, and he is carefully laying his
plans to breed successfully the highest
quality of pure bloods. His silo will be
l0x24 feet. His piggery contains some
beautiful specimens of pure blood Berk-
shires. Brownie, bring up the cows,''
said the Doctor to an intelligent collie
dog, and away it dashed across the clio
yer fields and soon his three registered
Jerseys and six registered Guernseys
stood by us. Beauties they were. And
here is "Mercurino," a registered Jersey
bull, five years old-a magnificent ami
NAL. He took first premium at our State
Exposition. And here is esquire of

NIB. AND MRS. CLEygLAND.
Pleasant Impressions Made in Washing
tom BY the Pr sident's Bride.

Before President Cleveland married
complaints Of his exclusiveness, or rather
Of his seclusiyeness, were frequent. Al
most any one who went TO the white
house could see him. but it was a rare
thing that the outside public caught a
glimpse of him in the common walks OF
the community. He occasionally INDUCED
in a short drive through the fashion
able portion of the city; once or twicr
a month he would ride down TO his odd
fashioned Presbyterian church, but he
was almost constantly hidden away from
the popular gaze behind his big desk at
the white house. :.
A remarkable change is noticed in his
habits and manner since he married. He
appears at church punctually at II
o'clock every Sunday morning with
pretty Mrs. Cleveland by his side. They
frequently take long afternoon drives
through the public parks. Last Satur-
day afternoon, when the Marine band
was giving its open air concert in the
white house grounds, the president and
his wife walked out on the lawn and TN
loved the music with the government
clerks and shop girls. I suppose the
IfSI iii tIt bitSiNtNhl was .N'I 49,
walking on PENNSYLVANIA avenue was last
Saturday night. He had been down to
the station to see Secretary Manning. who
was passing through from Warm springs.
The president dismissed his carriage at
the station and with Colonel Lamont
sauntered ~leisurely along the crowded
sidewalks to the white house, three
quarters of q mile away In his loosely
fitting dark suit and broad brim straw
hat he looked the picture of a democratic
president. He is mingling with the peo-
ole of Washington more than he ever did
before he married. Mrs. Cleveland re-
eeives much credit for this change in her
husbands habits. She has pleased every
body by her unaffected manners and her
Easy adaptation to her new sphere in life.
She had to face q severe trial when she
became the bride of the president, and
whenever she appears she is still the OBJ
iect of eager curiosity and close obserya-
ton. While she cannot be unaware of
this fact, she never bctrays the slightest
consciousness of it, either by the disguise
Of Indifference or the trcmulous IN
certainty Of embarrassment. She appears,
under all circumstances, a dlgnltied,
graceful young woman, a beautiful type
Of w~omanhood of the republic. Her
dress, like her manners is remarkable for
It's elegant simplicity. 1t is the universal
opinion in Washington that President
Cleveland has won a capital prize in the
matrimonial lottery.

A -Princely Claim.

The claim of Myra Clarke Gaines to the
heirship of Daniel Clarke, the Irish mil
l~ionairc merchant, land Spectator and
politician of New Orleans of eighty years
ago, has been a veritable romance of liti-
cation. Nearly thirty years ago the SUI
premc Court of the United States decided
favorably to her claim, but this bore no
ready fruit. May 3, 1888, Judge Billings
in the United States Circuit Court of
Louisiana decided the case of Mrs. Gaines
against the City of New Orleans in favor
of the plaintiff, the suit having been
pending for many years. The case had
previously been referred to a master in
.chancery, who, March Is, reported to
the court that the city was indebted to
Mrs. Gaines for rent and property that it
had wrongfully disposed of in 1887, in
the sun of 1924, eco, with interest
amounting to $179, 401, making a total of
81, 1904, 062. Council for the city filed
exceptions to this report, and Judge Bill
lngS decision was the result. 1t confirmed
the report of the master in chancerv, but
he added certain interest to the amount
meEtloncd, bringing the amount of the
Judgment against the city up to 81, 925,-
90. Judge Billings held that the de-
PENDANTS had kept the plaintiff out Of the
enjoyment of her property for forty
years, and the loss to the latter was rep
resented by the Judgment given. This
Judgment the city refused to pay, allcg-
ing nulla bona, whcrcupon Mrs. Gaines
applied to the court for a manlamus com
pclllng the city to levy and collect a tax
t" pay 1t, After long arguments on both
SIDES the case was submitted, and June IS
1888, Judge Billings rendered his dcci>-
ION, requiring the city to levy and
collect the amount of Judgment ard
interest less $40. 600 already scqucs-
tered. June 2, Judge Billings permitted
the city to bond the mandamuS on giving
a 500, 600 bond pending an appeal To the
supreme Court. October 16 the record

to jump from a carriage every time the
horse pricks up his ears, read this story
of a Westfield, Mass, girl: She was
driving a spirited horse, when the head

mouth. OF course he ran. The girl.

upright in her seat, while the frightened
She never said word, even when a daring
man caught on behind and climbed into
the buggy, only to find himself quite as
powerless as the girl. But his added
weight helped, for after a half-mle run
the horse was tired enough to admit of
his being caught, and the Girl jumped
out of the buggy, not much frightened,
and not a bit hurt.

DecoIette Dresses.

Discussion is rife anent the subject OF
low-cut dresses. It is the a~ll-engrossing
subject of the hour.
In regard to their propriety, everybody
has an opinion, and some are publicly
expressing themselves, pro and con. \
great deal Of nonsense mixed with a lit
tie wholesome sense, will probably be ey-
pended on the question. all to very little
purpose. The fashion is in. and will I'M
1loubtcdly stay for several years, or until
its patrons tire of it.
Washington society adopted the COS
tune last season, Miss Cleveland acting
as a leader of the fashion. The reason
was ~patent-she was not d very pretty
woman. but she had good arms and
shoulders.
The new mistress Of the white house is
following suit. Her wedding dress was
high in the neck when worn at the inn
portant When she appeared
in it at her first reception, it had been in
the hands of the modiste and was cut
away the regulation depth.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher has pro
vi,led her article on the subject for the
lublic's discussion. Che places the
weight of her influence on the other side,
and pronounces against the exposure.
Mrs. Ecrdant attended a swell dinner
the other evening with her husband.
They were late, and Immediately upon
their arrival the COMPANY was seated at
the table. CHANGING down the long rows
of guests Mrs. V. was Mortified to observe
that, apparently, she was the only lady
present with a dress on.
In CONSERVATION she turned to her hus-
band and said: "This is disgusting. ]
never saw such brazcn creatures in all my
born days"
"Tut, tut. my dear" said he, "don't
show your feelings. It's the fashion; you
must bear with them"
"Bear with them! / should like to
see myself" she scornfully replied, and
subsidized into significant silence.
"Well, shouldn't" whispered a gen.
tleman, who unavoidably overheard thu
dialogue, as he glanced at her up
