Athletic Cadets.

A correspondent OF the New York Time,
writes about the athletic feats of the class OF
cadets about to graduate at West Point, 81
follows:
The exercises began with display of theil
agility in mounting. At the word of com.
mand the Young men stood beside their fiery
steeds, and then simultaneously vaulted into
the saddle without using the stirrups. Next
two Bags with handles were placed on low
posts about fifty feet apart. and each cadet
rode past them at full gallop, and, leaning
from his saddle. caught the handles and
tossed the bags into the air. Nearly all were
successful in the performance of this feat,
which is much more difficult than mere de-
scription makes it appear.
bag was now placed on a taller post
about as high As a mans head-a hurdle was
put up beyond that, and little farther on a
second bag was placed on a low post. Each
cadet in turn rode at gallop past the first
post, fired pistol shot into the bag, which
represented mans head, took the hurdle at
flying leap, then drew his sabre, made a
wbirling cut at the ground, and, passing the
second post, still at gallop, gave it vicious
cnt with his flashing blade. The young
ladies in the gallery were much impressed by
this awe-inspiring performance and clapped
their hands as vigorously as their gloves
would permit.
Another performance which aroused en-
thusiasm brought in two more posts with their
surmountng bags and sort Of gallows from
which n ring was suspended. A low post
came first. The rider sped by this and gave
the bag vigorous cut with his sabre Then
whirling the blade over his head, he endeav-
ored to thrust it through the ring, and pass
ing on, cut the stuffed head off the second
post
The active cadets accomplished this feat
successfully, and were again applauded
Next came riding at will. The riders sped
their horses around the ring, vauted on and
off while the animals were going, and per
formed other acrobatc feats which filed the
girls with wonder. and delighted both the
secretary of war and the visiting board Tit
members of the board who were familiar it'll

seen any better riding done here, and it Ger
tainly was pleasant to see how easily ant
gracefully the young men managed thei
horses while accomplishing the difficult task
set before them.

MIR. Hlaine'S Speech.

We publish on another page a full report
of the great speech delivered by Hon. James
G. Blaine at the home Rule meeting in Port
land, Me-, last week, 1t is remarkable
address, searching, original, lucid and forci-
BILE. There is no demsgogism, no rhetorical
tinsel in this address, the whole strength of
which lies in its logical presentation of un.
denisble truths.
Because we are no friend of Mr. Blaine,
and because we have fought him openly aud
heartily in politics, we must acknowledge
that there is no trace of insincerity apparent
in his Portland utterance. demsgogue in
such a case would have relied upon fiourshes
of eloquence to carry his hearers; MIR. Blaine
uses only cool statistics and facts of history.
So, too. he pays his hearers the highest com
plment when he leaves to their impartial APP
probation two such utterances as these -
"Now, was educated under Presbyterian inhu.
euces. have connection with that church by kin
dred, blood and affinity that began with my life and

is that the shmen of this country should keep this
question as has been kept thus far-ou Of our own
political struggles, and mark any man IS ut enmity
with their cause who seeks to use 1t for personal OF
for partisan advancement"
If this be demsgogism it is of such high
and subtle order that it cannot be distin-
puished from true political wisdom, and il
would be both ungenerous and unreasonable
To doubt MIR. Blsine's sincerity in such utter
ances. The soundness OF the advice in the
parsrraph last quoted cannot be too strongly
emphasized

wbether they were applied to him, or, as Mr..

New YOrk's Lumber Trade.
IT EXCEEDS IN VOLUME THE TRADE IN Cor
| TON, AND Is STEADILY INCREASING.

The lumber trade of New York amounts to
between $50, 000, 900 and 500, 900 900, ex-
ceeding in volume the cotton trade. Two
hundred and twenty-five firms are actively
engaged in the business, and the combined
capital invested is not less than $50 000,0 900.
The headquarters of the trade is Eleventh
avenue, from Fourteenth street to Forty
second street.
The woods are of all kinds, and come from
all parts of the country. One of the peculi
arities of the market is the large number of
firms " ich deal only in special woods. By
purchasing immense quantities of particular
wood they are enabled to buy cheaper and
sell higher than they otherwise could In
regard to the common spruce, which chiefly
comes from Maine and the provinces, the
trade has improved The wholesale price per
cargo is now from SIS to SIS, which is bet
ter showing than that of last year. The pop
uiarity of yellow pine wood from Florida and
Georgia has greatly increased during the last
few years. 1t is used for all building purss
poses, but chiefly for flooring, wainscotting
and ceilings. One feature of the season is
the increased demand for white wood, which
is really yellow poplar. 1t holds paint WE'LL
stains better than any other wood, and hence
is greatly used tor weather boarding, in
fences. and all exterior walls and plankiny
1t is also extensively used for coach panelling
The specialists, who deal exclusively in the
fine or hard woods. such as mahogany, rose
wood, walnut aud all cabinet woods, have
little to do with the ordinary lumber interests,
as they cater to the furniture makers, not the
builders Their woods are nearly all foreign,
the mahogany coming from Mexico, Hon.
duras and the West Indies, while many kinds
are brought from Africa. The cherry and
! oak woods are in great demand just now, and
there is steady call for first grade mahogany.
