(Spoolal Dispatch to the News ard Courikr.) f WASHINGTON, JIuno 2.-Miss Folsom i arrived hero thin morning at 5.30 o'clock c accompanied by her mother and couins, I Benjamin Folsom and Mrs. Rodgers. q When the train rolled into the Baltim)oro and Potomac stationl Miss Cleveland was waiting to receive the bride-olect and her companions. Almost immediately t the private car of President Roberts was disconnected and transferred to a siding ( on 6th strcot. No sooner had this been t accomplished, when Albert drew his l r handsome turnout up to the car a-eps. Miss Cleveland stepping out entered the car, and, after a hasty chat with the par ty, reappeared on the platform follo)wed by Miss Folsom and the other mn bers of the party. The travelers showed no appearance of fatigue, and the I-ride elect looked especially bright and cacer - fl. Miss Folsom was plainly and neatly attired in a snug' fitting rich black silk walking dress and a close fitting short a gray cloth sacque, and carried a natty red umbrella with a dog's head carved on the handle. Her hat was of the walk- y ing pattorn-a high gray straw- with what appeared to be gull's wings sind ing upright. The young lady, as she alighted from the car and entered the carriage, took a survey of the surround- " 4 ings, and appeared perfectly happy in the thought that everything had been so pleasantly arranged for her comfort. a The mott.er of the bride-elect was tastily dressed in black silk and carried 0 no wraps. Mr. Benj. Folsom were a light-brown overcoat, gray trousers and tall black hat. When the party was com fortably seated in the carriage the door was slammed shut, and, as is their ens- i ton at this signal, the s-irited horses t darted.off like a shot and took the most direct route to the Executive Mansion t through the Smithsgtmn and Mioumrent I grounds. They entered the Mansin b 1)s the southern entrance, a canopy Iving been erected over the stairway by which s they ascended to the main floor. They passed in through the Blue parlor, antd e Miss Folsom went immediat ely up-tairs to the apartments prepared for her. SCENES AII7'I'IIE WII'I'IEOUSE. a The White House has been closed to day to all persons, excepting those on official business. Down-stairs the florists have been in control of the Blue, lied and Green parlors and the East room, and only those engaged in the work of decorating were allowed to pass beyond b the vestibule. The stairway leading up- ( stairs to the oflicial part of the Mansion was also closed against casual callers and 11 newspaper nen. The latter were ad mitted to tT vestibute, but that was as far as they were allowed to roam. Your correspondent succeeded in gaining ad mission to Col. Pruden's oilce upstairs upon assuring the usher that his errand t had nothing to do with the wedding. The clerical force was at work as if nothing extraordinary was oin hand. Col. Pruden came from the P.resident's pri vate office bearing sundry executive comn mnunications to Congress, including ap p)roved bills and v'eto messages on lien-. sion bills. A clerk from [ho piostofie department was also prlesent to request the signaturo of the President to a nuam ber of postmasters' conmmissio)ns. Abont niooni, while the vestibuile on the first ~ floor swarmed with newspaper mien, florists and ushers, tie big glass doors leading into the private piarlors opened, andl out walked the Presidlent.

Alhouigh the President usually shaves hiimself lhe did not care to talke any chanees wi the razor to-day, so [lie Exeutiv'e harher a was p)ermiitted to give the President his a wedding shave, Throughout [lhe (ntire i day messengers were continually arrtiv- 1 ing at the White House, bearing wed ding presents. One fromn Mrs. P'ostmaas ter General Vilas was a small square e p)ackage wrappled1 in white piaper and( l tied with a broad satin ribbon. It was accompanied by a note of congratula tions. All the presents were sent up stairs to be Opened at the discretion oft J1ow 'rnE MAnTAoE (CER1EMONY WAs ru FonIM ED. About half-past 6 o'clock thie weddinat guests began to arrive, their carriage rolling up to [the maain dooer of [the Mani sion thirough tihe great ironi gates on Pennsylvania avenue. The first arrival was Secretary Lamnar at 6.87. HeI was closely followed by [ho Rev. Dri. u.. derland andl wife, and duiring tim next few minutes there camne in quick succes sion Postmaster General Vilas and wife anti Wilson S. Ilissel, Secretary anid Mrs. Whitney, and Secretary Manning & and wife. Removing t heir wraps in the State dining-room, all the guests pro- I ceded to [lie Blue room, whero they I were received b)y Miss Rose Clcelandl. 1 For a fw minutes the guests chattedc gaily, but conversatioin was quickly sus Pended ait 7,15, p., m, when [lie selectedI rrphestra frorn the Marine Band, stationi- .1 od in the corridor, struck lup [lie familiar I strais of the wedding march from Men-t d uessohin's "iMid.9umer Night's Dreami," and all eyes were turned to [ho doorwayi to catch the first glimpse of the coming bride and groom. Startinug from the western corridor on the upper floor the residont came slowly down the western taircaso with his bride leaning on his 1 rm. They were unaccompanied, even i he bride's mother waiting with the other i guests. Passing through the central corridor 1 he bride and groom entered the Blue ( oom, and took a position near its south- a rn wall, which was completely hidden I rom sight by a mass of nodding palms, v ropical grasses and an endless variety of n hoiceo flowers. A crystal chandelier t ioured a flood of mellow radiance upon c ho scene, and the colors of the massive 1 anks of scarlet begonias and royal nqueminet roses, mingling with the blue a lid silver tints of the frescoed walls and i oiling, gave a warm and glowing tone - o the whole brilliant fiterior. The c elicate ivory shades of the bride's wed- c ling gown fotud an exquisite setting in 1 he masses of crimson roses immediately t oyond. The President was in full b vening dress, with turn-down collar, o hite lawn necktie and white enamelled c tids. i: A hush fell upon the assemblage as s )r. Sunderland stepped forward to his o, osition, fronting the wedding couple, il -itlh the Rev. William Cleveland (the o: 'resident's brother) at his left hand. t: n a distinct tone of voice and with de berate utterance the Doctor began the a imple and beautiful wedding service, c fter the reading of which he turned to w io bride and groom and said: t1 ''If you desire to be united in marriage it on will signify the same by joining your i ight hands." (Groom and bride joined tt ands.) "Grover," said the minister, s: do you take this woman whom you hold '1 y the hand to be your lawful wedded w 'ife-to live together after God's ordi- w ance in the holy estate of wedlock? Do n ol promise to love her, cherish, comfort s1 ad keep her in sickness and in health, n 1 joy and in sorrow, and, forsaking all it thers, keep you only unto her so long a s you both shall live?" a The groom (firmly:) "I do." b )r. Sunderland: "Frank, do you take 'is man whom you hold by the hand to o e your lawful wedded husband, to live tl )gether after God's ordinance in the c oly estate of wedlock? Do you promise ni love him, honor, comfort and keep h im in sickness and in health, in joy and in w : rrow, and forsaking all others keep Ii on only unto him so long as you both s( ball live?" ti The bride responded in a low, but p lear, voice: "I do." Dr. Sunderland (solemnly:) "Foras- nr mhC1 as Grover and Frank have here a] greed and covenanted to live together t fter God's ordinance in the holy estate g f wedlock, and have confirmed the same 11 y giving and taking the wedding ring; e ow, therefore, in the presence of this f: ompany, in the name of the Father and k f the Son and of the Holy Ghost, I pro- b ounce and declare that they are lhius- d and and wife; and what God hatlh join- p A together let not man put asunder." a: The Rev. Mr. Cleveland then pro- n ounced the following benediction: it "God the Father, God the Son, andi n lod the Holy Ghost, bless, preserve and eel) you; the Lord mercifully fill you ith all temporal and all spiritual bless- t1 igs, and grant that you may so live )gether in this world that in the world o 1 con you may have life everlasting. i At the conclusion of the ceremony e irs. Folsom, showing traces of deep) e motion, was thie first to tender her con- u ratulations to the newly married pair. o he was followed by Miss Cleveland, the a, 1ev. Mr. Cleveland and the other rela- a yves andl friends in turn. While the a ongratulations were in progress the (1 and, under the leadership of Professor d ouussa, p)erformed the bridal chorus andl 1arch from "'Lohengrin," and to this t musiesthe President and his bride led the d ray into the stately East room. Th'le dornments of this noble hall were in coping with its mnajestic proportions, f na its amplle space and brilliant illumi ation afforded an opplortunity for a tting display of thne ladies' toilets. 1 The bride wore an encan:iting wedding o ress of ivory satin, simply garnished on ti high corsage, wvith India muslin crossed p~ 'i Grecian folds and carried in exqjuisite d dl of simplicity over a pett.icoat. An a range blossom garniture, commaencing ni 1)on1 the veil, in a superb coronet, was tI (nt inuied thr'ouughout the costume with n .rtistic skill. Her veil was of tulle, 1' bout live yards in lenugth, completely e nyelop)ing hier and falling to thne edge t1 f the petticoat in front and extending t< he entire length of her full court train, a he carriedl no llowers andl wore no a ewelry except thne engagemnent rilng, 'onl- e aining a sapplhiire and two diamonds, n .nd~ a plain gold wedding ring, which a mad b)en lamced oln lher linger before she I lescendedl thie staircase.

Other weddingsnu ther hae -e a th Vhito Houso-eight in all-but never ofore to-day has the highest dignitary a the land bowed his head within its listoric walls to receive the blessing of he Church on his union in the holy londs of matrimony. From the very lawn of the wedding day the city seemed live to the approaching event. Little nots of idlers talked it over on the side valks and in front of the hotels. Sedate latrous gossipped as they passed along lie streets, and bevies of laughing girls hatted and speculated about the comin iomentous ceremonies. If there be any truth in the ancient dage, a happy bride will reign in the Vhite House; for though the day opened rith a gray and cheerless sky and shad ws resting on the earth, yet as it grew lder the elements seemed to relent, and ttle by little the sun forced his rays irough the unwilling clouds, until his road beams fell in generous abundance n the soft, green sward of the trim park ncompassing the White House, bring ig out in high relief the simple yet Lately white columns of the tine-hon red home of the Presidents, crystalliz ig in prismatic hues the sparkldig spray f the fountains, and cresting with gold lo foliage of the grand old trees.

On the asphalt walks, near the portico [ the White Houe, the assemblage was loroughly democratic, and ragged ur 1ins and slip-shod colored girls jostled ntty-looking young gentlemen and .dies in silk attire. The gates were left ide open, and by (; o'clock the crowd nd swollen to several huidred, and a !ore or more of newspaper men held l1 point of vantage along the side of the ortico. Suddenly the strains of the wedding iarch floated through the open windows, ad there was a general exclamation from Ie outside crowd, "The service has be tin!" Then there came a tantalizing u1shi within the walls, which was soon tided by the strains of the bridal chorus om "Lohengrin," and it was thereby nown that the ceremony wan over. One y one the lights sprang upl) at the wini ows, and the great burners ol the ortico cast their eflulgence over the plhalt, a Scne which resembled a smln er night's festival, and the erowd gave elf up to the enjoyment of delightful 1151o.

There are but few persons here, as there was no knowledge that the bridal party would eome. President and Mrs. Cleveland are sojourning very quietly. A large influx of visitors is looked for as soon as it is known that the newly wedded couple are here.

The cultivation of summer crops now absorbs attention. The plants valued by anil1i cn11tiot, stand natural competition; they would be destroyed by worthless coemletitors but for his timely interfer ence and aid. Mr. Law-es left a crop of wheat unliarvested to see if the plant could reseed and perpetuate itself with out assistance. It failed utterly; in one year wheat would become extinct but for the intervention of man. Under like treat lment the turnip lost its 1ulb and formed ouly a long, contracted taproot, as it does in its wild state. On the other i hand, wheat. on carefully prepared land, I kept perfectly clean so as to remove all compnetitionl, made an average yield of i 13 bushels per acre for thirty years with- t out manure; highly mmatured, nder the same conditions otherwise, the average yield p)er acre for thirty years was 3; < bushels per acre. With cultivation and i wit-hoult maninre, 13 bushels per acre; with cultivation and manure, 36 bushels I per acre; without. cultivation and manure, t nothing. There is a lesson for us. Every one with the slightest farming experience appreciates the importanee of fighting crab grass, lt the fight is often I made too hate, and after irreparable mis chief hits been done. Plants never fully recover their vigor after this grass liias once matted itself albOut thlem. 13v all means kill it before it has had time to rob the crop) of its plant-food; when the t seed have well sprouted or have just come ip is the time to destr"(y it. The 1 only safe rule, therefore, is to run the i plows or cult ivat( ors at short intervals say oce It week. Later inl the season such fre<iuett workings will not he de manded; but during the month of .Tune, never stop the plows; its soon as the Crop is gone over, go right over again. Espe cially is this denimded by cotton. (ive i it every advanbdage now. Let it make weed and be ready to take on fruit. rowing and fruiting are soimew-hat ' an1tag(1nistie. Euemlrage the gre)wing iow by ftielu it w orkings, and let it give place to fruiting later ini the season. ('onstant stirring of the soil is the best growth-promloter. ut, says one, growth is iaturally excessive on my lands; m1iy cotton makes too nmuch weed and does not mature its fruit. Perhaps on such soils it, might he well to work the crop at longer intervals--onily so often as may be needed to keep down grass. It seems to be pretty well estaldished that com m11oni salt tends to cheek anl Overgrowtlh of straw in small grains; it may possibly have a similar effeet on ithe production of excessive weed in cotton. ~The mat ter is worthy of exp-rimiiental trial. Mr. Dickson, whose intentions were very re markable, and whose insight into nianur ing was very extraordinary, always put salt in his compoulld. But rapid tillage not only promotes immediate rowtlh, it contributes also to fruiting b y increasing the supiply ofI Ilanlt.-food in thle soil.

Put in drills three root apart; a bushel of seed will plant rour acres; and as seed is a considera- e tion, this mode is oftentimes preferable o broadcast sowing. More peas can be raised by the former method of planting, 1 nit tho latter is better for the land. If 1 >nc's object is to raise seed, drill by all ia neans, and give necessary .plowings and loeings, which will not be a great deal. 1 L'ho practice of planting peas in corn is rood; it involves no expense except seed t ind the dropping or sowing of them. 3ut we think the pea is entitled to a ] >laco on the farm as a regular crop to be 1 >lanted by itself and properly cultivated. is value, as a renovating or recuperat ng crop, is unsurpassed, and it holds no nean place as a food crop, either as ,rain or forage. It can be made to take I he place of corn to a considerahle de free, as we have often seen, and can be aise1 it less expence. 'The gathering c f the crop is the greatest obstacle to be I >vercome, but until a better method is t nvented we can mow when the pods are 1 (hout grown and cure as forage.

The problem is rn -erv ulcll simpler than that of a cotton )ieking machine, and inventors have not -et. aba(ldoned the latter. f, June is a good month also in which to " >lant forage crops generally.

It J s the neglect of such sido crops that t, auses so much Northern and Western t my to be sold in the South. A very ew acres on each farm could supply all >f the forage needed. Recently we pre- I ;ented the latest. testimony aud contelu -ions about ensilage. It is sufliciently encouraging to warrant every farner trying it, oil a small scale, at least. ihe explnse of digging a small pit, putting in the forage, weighing it downl and putting a simple roof over it, will be \ ry siall. All can be don by the laborers on the farm after the crops are laid by. Plant the necessary crops to I till one now and build silo later---i don't liiiik you will regret the venture. Last year, whilst laying by some hot to1n corn, we 1broadeaste(d Soja hean over at portion of it, and were rather sur prised to see it mature its seed fully be fore frost. As it stands erect (is not a vine) we found no (litlicllty in uowing it, and gathered the crop in that way.
