Amateur dramatic work is becoming a
great feature of New York society, as il
has long been of the London fashionable
world. The best known amateur in New
York is Mrs. James Brown Potter, a beau
tltul woman of decided talent, only TWEEN
ty-three, but with strength OF charac-
ter and gifts that must some day make
her felt beyond the mere passing Of the
hour. Mrs. Potter's ambition, fancy, is
not for position on the professional stage.
but to so organize and improve amateur
work as to make it worthy OF the patron
age of the public for charitable purposes.
instead of being, as it is now, limited by
the wishes and personal efforts made by
interested parties in favor of some special
institution.
In some notable amateur performances
given recently for the benefit of important
charities, very great change and ad-
vance was noticeable in acting and cos
tunes, both being carefully studied and
realistic. An famateur' dramatic per-
tormances has usually been a bit OF draw

That ladies went into the streets so
scantily clad seems incredible, until one
is confronted by the record OF the time.
A gentleman who was present on Christ
mas Eve at the marriage Of Prince Je-
rome Bonaparte with Miss Elizabeth Pat
terson, is reported assaying that "all the
clothes worn by the bride might have been
put in my pocket. Her dress was of mus
lin richly embroidered and of extremely
tine texture. Beneath this she wore but a
single garment"

then uppermost, they were regarded as 100

The only outer garments permitted at
this time were "spensersn and long,

HARVESTING BucKWHEAr.

Buckwheat is an exceptional grain.
I. requires special care in cultivation
and equally careful harvesting. 1t is .
semi-tropical plant, exceedingly tender,
and easily killed by frost, but yet it
grows best in cool weather and does
not ill the grain well until so late in
the season that the grower is always
anxious lest the frost should injure or
destroy his crop. Consequently the
farmer must sow as late as possible.
and yet be must avoid danger of injury
by early frosts. And when he has es-
capped this danger the harvesting brings
more difficulties which he has TO look
out for This plant does not ripen
evenly. The grain forms first on the
lower part of the flower stalk and the
seed ripens there while it is green
above and at the top the blossom is
still opening. The harvesting. there
fore. must be begun at a season when
the most grain can be secured in the
best condition. And here again comes
in more risk. viz: that of cutting the
grain too soon and before the largest
auantitv can b secured. and also that
