'When the train rolled into the Baltii loro End Potomac station Miss Cleveland was waiting to receive the bridonilect and her companions. Almost immediately the private oar of President Roberts was disconnected and transferred to a si.ling on 6th street. No sooner had this lioen accomplished, when Albert drew Ids handsome toruout up to the car steps. Mina Cleveland stepping out entered the car, and, after a hasty chat with the par- •ty, reappeared on the platform followed by Miss Folsom and the other members of the party. The travelers showed no appearance of fatigue, and the li ide olect looked especiallv bright and cheer ful Miss Folsom was plainly and n. atly attired in a%iug fitting rich black silk walking dress and a close fitting short gray cloth saegue, and carried a natty red umbrella with a dog’s head caned on the handle. Her liat was of the walk ing pattern—a high gray straw—with what ap]>e&red to be gull’s w ings si and ^^ing upright. The young lady, as she {^■alighted from the car and entered the carriage, took a sun’ey of the surround ings, and appeared ]>erfectly happy in the thought that everything had Us n so pleasantly arranged for her comfort. The moti.er of the bride-elect was tastily dressed in Mark silk und ca Tied no wraps. Mr. Ihnj. Folsom were n light-brown overcoat, gray trousers and tall black hat. \V1 icu the party was com fortably seated in the carriage the door was slammed shut, and, as is their cus tom at this signal, the spintvsl h*>rses darted off like a shot ami took tin most direct route to the Executive Mansion through the Smiths-'man ami Monument grounds. They entered the Mansion hy the southern entrance, a canopy having l>ecn erected over the stairway by which they ascended to the rnnin fioor.

The White House has been clomsl to day to all persons, e\CA;]itiiig thos on official business. Down-stairs the florists have lieen in control of the blue, U<d and Green (tarlors and the East room, and only Uiose mgugisl in tin work of decorating were allowed to j>ass U-yond the vestibule. The stairway loading up stairs to the oflicial i>art of tin Mansion was also closed against casual callers and newspaper men. The latter were ad mitted to the vestibule, but that was as far as they were allowovl to roam. Your correspondent Muei'et dod in gaming ad mission to Col. Prudcn’s oflice ujwtairs upon assuring the nslier that his errand bad nothing to do with the wedding. The clerical force was at work as if nothing extraordinary was on hand. Col. Praden came from the President’s pri vate office bearing sundry executive com munications to Congress, including ap- V proved bills and veto messages on ]>en V ston bills. A clerk fnmi the {lostoflice dspartment was also present to request the signature of the Resident to a num- b^| of postmasters' commissions. About noon, while the vestibule on the first floor swarmed with newspaper men, florists and ushers, the big glass doors leading into the private (larlors ui>ened, - and out walked the President.

He was absent nearly an hour, and when he re tained it was said that he had taken a ride to quiet his nerves.

They were unaccompanied, even the bride’s mother waiting with the other guests. Passing through the central corridor the bride and groom entered the Blue room, and took a position near its south ern wall, which was completely hidden from sight by a mass of nodding palms, tropical grasses and an endless variety of choice flowers. A crystal cliandelier poured a flood of mellow radiance upon the scene, and the colors of the massive banks of scarlet begonias and royal jaqueminct roses, mingling with the blue and silver tints of the frescoed walls and ceiling, gave a warm and glowing tone to the whole brilliant interior. The delicate ivory shades qf the bride’s wed ding gown found an exquisite setting in the masses of crimson roses immediately beyond. The President was in full evening dress, with turn-down collar, white lawn necktie and white enamelled studs. A hush fell upon the assemblage as Dr. Hunderland stopjanl forward to his IHisition, fronting the wedding couple, with the Rev. William Cleveland (the President’s brother) at his left hand. In a distinct tone wf voice and w ith de- lilierate utterance the Doctor In gaii the simple and beautiful wedding service, after the reading of which he turned to the bride and groom and said: “If yon desire to Isolated in marriage you will signify the same by joining your right hands.’’ (Groom and bride joined liands.) “Grover," said the minister, “do you take this woman whom you hold by the liand to 1h> your lawful wedded wife—to live together after God's ordi nance in the holy estate of wedlock? Do you promise to love her, cherish, comfort and keep her in sickness and in health, ui joy and in sorrow, and, forsaking all others, k<H‘p you only unto her so long as you Iwth shall live?" The groom (firmly:) “I do." • Dr. Sunderland: “Frank, do yon take this man whom you hold by the hand to be your lawful wedded husband, to live together after God’s ordinance in th< holy estate of wedlock? Do you promise to love him, honor, comfort and keep lum in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, and forsaking all others kis-p you only unto him so long as Ton loth shall live?” The bride resjamded in a low, but clear, voice: “I do." Pr. Hunderland (solemnly:) “Foras much as Grover and Frank liave here agreed and covenanted to live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of wedlock, and have confirmed the same l^y giving and taking the wedding ring 1 ; now, therefore, in the presence of this company, in the name of the Father and of the Boll and of the Holy Ghost, 1 pro nounce and declare that they are 1ms- Isuul and wife; and what (bsl hath join ed together let not man put asunder." The Rev. Mr Cleveland then pro nounced the following lienediction: “(hs.1 the Father, God the Hon, and God the Holy Ghost, bless, preserve jmd k»s‘p you; the Lord mercifully till you with all temporal and all spiritual bless ings, and grant that you may so live together in this world that in the world to come yon may have life everlasting. Amen.’’ CONUKATrTjATIOKH. At the conclusion of the oeremony Mrs. Folsom, showing traces of deep emotion, was the first to tender her con gratulations to the newly marriisl pair. Hhe was followed by Miss Cleveland, the Rev. Mr. Cleveland and the other rela tive* and friends in turn. While the congratulations were in progress the l>and, under the leadership of Professor Sonaea, perform oil the bridal chorus and march from “Lohengrin,” and to this music the President and his bride led the way into the stately East room. The adornments of this noble hall wore in keeping with its majestic proi>ortions, and its ample sjiace and brilliant illumi nation afforded an opportunity for a fitting display of the ladies’ toilets. WHAT THE BRIDE WORE. The bride wore an enchanting wedding dress of ivory satin, simply garnished on a high corsage, with India muslin crossed in Grecian folds and carried in exquisite fall of simplicity over a jietticoat. An orange blossom garniture, commencing upon the veil, in a superb (Soronet, was continued throughout the costume with artistic skill Her veil was of tulle, about five yards in length, completely enveloping her and falling to the edge of the petticoat in front and extending the entire length of her full court train. She carried no flowers and wore >no jewelry except the engagement ring, con taining a sapphire and two diamonds, and a plain gold wedding ring, which had been placed on her finger before she descended the staircase, r % From the East room the company pro ceeded, after a season of promenading and conversation, to (he family dining room of the Mansion, where the wedding supper was served. a bower op bkactt. The decorations of the Executive Man sion to-night were of an elaborate char acter, and, in the language of one of the oldest employees, “It never presented a handsomer appearance.” The various public gardens in the city and many private conservatories here and in other cities Dontribnted their choicest plants and flowers to lend their beauty and fragrance to the scene. Of course the Blue room, where the ceremony was performed, occupied the principle at tention of the decorators. Their work wae osritinly well done. It was trans formed into a veritable bower of beauty. whom tkb so> White House—eight in all—but never before to-day has the highest dignitary in the land bowed his head within its historic walls to receive the blessing of the Church on his union in the holy bonds of matrimony. From the very daw r n of the wedding day the city seemed alive to the approaching event. Little knots of idlers talked it over on the side walks and in front of the hotels. Sedate matrons goasipped as they passed along the streets, and bevies of laughing girls chatted and speculated about the coming momentous ceremonies. If there be any truth in the ancient adage, a happy bride will reign in the White House; for though the day opened with a gray and cheerless sky and shad ows resting on the earth, yet as it grew older the elements seemed to relent, and little by little the sun forced his rays through the unwilling clouds, until his broad beams fell in generous abundance on the soft, green sward of the trim park encompassing the White House, bring ing out in high relief the simple yet stately white columns of the time-hon ored home of the Presidents, crystalliz ing in prismatic hues the sparkling spray of the fountains, and cresting with gold the foliage of the grand old trees. The still ami murky haze of the early afternoon bail now wholly given place to clear skies and warm southejlv zephyrs, while yellow sunlHiuns flitted through the foliage of the j>»rk and made flicker ing pictures upon the velvety turf be- m>ath. The great fountain did its Ix-st to attract attention, sjxtuting its cooling spray to the verge of its granite basin. The seats in the jwirk across the avenue were occupied by lawn-clad maidens, while half the young lovers in town, moved by the common sympathy which stirs the romanie susceptibilities of sixty millions of people, took winding walks (jO,, ♦i,„ u- olei men was a general exeiamatioU 1 Tom the outside crowd, “The service has 1k 1 - gun' Ihen there came a tantalizing hush within the walls, which was soon ended by the strains of the bridal elsirus from “Lohengrin,” and it was thereby known that the ceremony was over. One by one the lights sprang up at the win down, and the great burners on the {Hirtioo east their effulgence over the asphalt, a scene which resembled a Mipi- mer night's festival, and the crowd gave itself up to the enjoyment of delightful music. THE DEBARTTKE FOR DEKK I’AJIS. Fhere was no formal order 4 observed in the supper room, but the collation was sen ed. and the guests sat at small tables or promenaded as they discussed the menu and talked over the event of the evening. The el< gant souvenirs yf satin lioxes, containing dainty shoes of bridal cake and each one liearing a hand-paint ed monogram “C. F.,” were received with great admiration. While the orchestra was playing one of its happiest selections, and the guests were gathered alxiut the tables, the bride quietly slipped away to her room and changed her wed ding dross for a heavy gray silk traveling dress. She then returned to her com- pany and was soon afterward joined by the President, who hail also changed his dress suit for a traveling costume. This was about 8.110, and the President and his bride said a liasty “good-bye” to their friends and left the house through the private exit from the Red room into the south ground. A closed carriage aw aited them, and as they entered and the horses started off a shower of rice was thrown on the carriage and their friends waved them a final ‘‘‘God-speed” from the rear l>orch. It was expected that the Presi dent would try to slip away unobserved and in order to prevent this a number of newspaper men stationed themselves near the southwest entrance to the grounds wilh carriages convenient to follow the President in case he should make his exit by that gate. This was reported to the President, so he instructed his driver to go out of the grounds by another and almost unused route, and in that way he avoided the reporters altogether. His carriage was driven direct to the Balti more and Ohio Railroad station where a special train was in waiting to take the President and his bride to Deer Park. They were escorted through the station and into the car provided for them with out attracting attention, and at 9 o’clock the train started off to its destination. The President and his bride were wholly unaccompanied on this journey. They will probably remain at Deer Park about a week, during which time they will occupy a small cottage attached to the hotel, which has not yet opened for the season. nui WEDDING PRESENTS. The wedding presents welre many but they were not exhibited, nor will any list be furnished. This is in deference to the wishes-of the President The groom’s gift to his bride was a handfipiA fnmjmaod of a Mugfo string of brfiUants. The presents from *-4 * ' r *'me - * - wore white glove* at his wedding. The gentlemen present at the wedding were not fortunate enough to receive a salute from the bride, who confined her kisses to the ladiee. Otherwise the ceremony was orthodox in form. The arrange ments for the day’s event wore under the control and personal management of Col. Lament, and they worked so smoothly and satisfactorily as to earn for him uni- versal commendation and compliment. Victoria’s best wishes. London, June 2.—The Queen has sent the following cable message to President Cleveland: “Please accept my sincere congratula tions on your marriage, and my liest wishes for your happiness. Victoria. ” Deer Park, Md., June 3.—President Cleveland and bride arrived here at 4 o’clock this morning, and are domiciled in one of the cottages attached to the hotel. There are but few persons here, as there was no knowledge that the bridal party would come. President and Mrs. Cleveland are sojourning very quietly. A large influx of visitors is looked for us soon as it is known that the newly wedded couple are here. Washinoton, June 3.—About five hundred telegrams congratulating the President on his marriage have l>een re ceived at the White House. They in clude messages from ex-Pnwident Arthur, Mrs. Grant, Ministers Pendleton and Phelps and many public men throughout the country. None of the diapatches will be given out for publication. >1 \X>Ells FOR 1IO\h. <’amnion HiiIpm of Koriny thni Kvery (*rnllr- nian hhould Ob*rr\e. Poor fellows!

No womb it their opjsisition is aroused id they l»egin to feel that every man’s ml is against them, when, after all, if ey were only, in a quiet way, informed w hat was expected of them, and their unliness appealed to, they w ould readi- ouough fall into line. So thought “Auntie M.” as she jxhnted it the following for a little twelve year 1 nephew, who w^os the “light of her os, if not always the joy of her heart, ■ though a good-natured, amiable Isiy the main, he would offend against the •roprieties” frequently. First come manners for the street. Hat lifted in saying “good-bye” or “How do you do?” Hat lifted when offering a seat in a ear or in acknowledging a favor. Keep step with any one you walk with. Always precede a lady up stairs and ask her if you may precede her in pass ing through a crowd or public place. Hat off the moment you enter a street door and when yon step into a private hall or office. Let a lady j >ass first always unless she ask you to precede her. In the jiurlor stand till every lady in the room is s*'at»-<l, also older j>e*>ple. Rise if a lady comes in after you arc seated and stand till she takes a s*iat. Look people straight in the face when sjieaking or being spoken to. Let lathes }>osb through a door first, standing aside for them. In the dining room take your seat after ladies ami elders. Never play with knife, fork or si>oon. D< i not take your napkin in a bunch in your hand. Eat as fast or as slow as others and finish the course when they do. Rise when ladies leave the room and stand till they are out. If all go out together, gentlemen stand by the door till ladies pass. Hjiecial ru^cs for the mouth are that all noise in eating and smaking of the lips should be avoided. Cover the mouth with hand or napkin when obliged to remove anything from it. Use your handkerchief uuolistrusively always. Do not look toward a lied room door when passing. Always knock at any private room door. These rules are im perative. There are many other little points which add to the grace of a gen tleman, but to break any of these is almost unpardonable. “Did you make up all these rules, auntie?” said Roy, as a copy neatly printed by a type writer was placed in his hands. “Make them up? No. These are just the common rules of society that every gentleman observes. You win not find your father failing in one of them.” “Well, but he is a man,” said Roy, deprecatingly, “And do you not wish to be a manly boy?” Roy said nothing, but it was noticed that the rules were placed very carefully in his drawer. Home months have since passed and auntie has had the pleasure of hearing repeatedly the remark, “What a manly, thoughtful little nephew yon have,” as one and another observed his polite and careful attention to others, Perhaps there are some other boys who will like to cat ont these rales and read them over now and then, keeping, or getting some good friend to keep a record of their success or shoriroomings in observance, always remembering that the mothers, sisters and aunties are the “ladies” to whom these attentions should be shown, and not merely to the guest and stranger.—Yonkers Gazette.

(W X,. Jones in the June ‘‘CulttTaior.”) The cultivation of summer crops now absorbs attention. The plants valued by man cannot stand natural competition; they would be destroyed by worthless competitors but for bis timely interfer ence and aid. Mr. Lawes left a crop of wheat unharvested to sec if the plant could reseed and perpetuate itself with out assistance. It failed utterly; in one year wheat would tiecome extinct but for the intervention of man. Under like treat ment the turnip lost its bulb and formed only a long, contracted taproot, as it does in its wild state. On the other hand, wheat on carefully prepared land, kept perfectly clean so as to remove all ] conqietition, made an iRn'rago yield of 13 bushels per acre for thaty years with out manure; highly manured'under the same conditions otherwise, the average i yield jx r acre 1 for thirty years was 3fi bushels j>er acre. With cultivation and without manure, 13 bushels per acre; with cultivation and manure, 36 bushels jieraore; w ithout cultivation and manure, nothing. There is a lesson for us. Every one with the slightest farming i exjH'rieiice appreciates the inqxiri^nce of fighting end) grass, but the fight is often made bs) late, and after irreparable mis- i chief has l»een done. Plants never fully recover their vigor after tlbs grass lias once matted itself alsuit them. By all means kill it before it 1ms laid time to rob the crop of its plant-food; when the seed have well sprouted or have just | come up is the time to destroy it. The i only safe rule, therefore, is to run the plows or cultivators at short intervals— say one* 1 a week. I^iU r in the season such frequent workings will not be de manded; but during the month of June, I never stop the plows; as soon as the crop is gone over, go right over again. Espe cially vi this demanded by cotton. Give it every advantage now. Ix't it make weed and l>e ready to take on fruit, j Growing and fruiting are somewhat antagonistic. Encourage tin 1 growing now by frequent workings, and let it , give place to fruiting later in the siason Constant stirring of the soil is the lest growth-promoter. But, says one, growth is naturally exoeaaive on my lands; my cotton makes too much weed and does not mature its fruit. Perlia]* on such soils it might lie well to work the crop at longer intervals only so often as may tie needed to keep down grass. It seems to Is 1 pretty well established that com mon salt tends chick an overgrowth of straw m small grains; it may possibly hare a similar effect on the production | of excessive weed in cotton. The mat- I ter is worthy of exjierimental trial. Mr. Dickson, whose intentions were very re markable, and whose insight into mannr- j mg was very extraordinary, always put salt in his comixmnd. But rapid tillage not only promotes i immediate growth, it contributes also to fruiting by increasing the supply of | plant-food in tie soil. Wo have repeat- I edly called attention to the lucessity of ! air in the soil for nitrification to go on. I Nitrification increases the supply of available nitrogen in the soil; plowing ojeus the soil, admits the air, and thus promotes nitrification. Not only so, the admission of air generates carbonic acid in the soil, and carbonic acid is the great solvent of mineral plant-food also. The saying, therefore, that “tillage is ma nure” has considerable foundation to rest on. It certainly unlocks the store houses of nature. Well* worked croj* seldom fail to yield fairly, however ad verse the seasons may be. Let it be borne in mind also, tliat light, surface cultivation is the great conservator of moisture in the soil, and one of the best antidotes to drought. A deeply broken, humus abounding soil, with a thin layer of pulverized earth upon its surface, is almost, proof against drought. What are the best implements for this light summer cultivation? The Dickson sweep fifteen or twenty years ago wr s esteemed the best. It certainly was a great improvement over the shovel, both as regards quantity and quality of-work. Mr. Dickson insisted- thid- they should be heavy, to keep them steady to their work. The long extended cutting edge caused them to strike more obstructions and rendered it difficult to hold them steadily to their place. This is a groat defect of the sweep. On the other hand, this long entting edge makes it almost impossible for a may-pop or brier to escape. This is decidedly in its favor. Of late years the heelacrape has largely supplanted the sweep on account of its greater simplicity*and less cost. It does about the same kind of work—some think better work. Both sweep and scrape will make beds, unless their wings are carefully set, this is a decided objec tion to them in hilly land, liable to wash. A cultivator, with wheel to regulate the depth 6f the plow, is in some respects preferable to either sweep or scrape. It is not so easily thrown ont of position by obstructions, and does not work the lan3 up into beds. Probably a combination of the two, foUoyring each other at alternate workings, would be better than either alone. A cultivator will run too deep for light summer work, Rtikt the depth of its cutting is regulated by a wheel. We are inclined to think in some form or other wheel plows xriQ become of universal nee, not only for gauging the depth of furrow, bat for the mke of decreasing fnetiofi, and rabeving on the bottom <4 tfe to row, arising from the weight of the plow itself, increased by that of the earth which it lifts. The grinding and preas- ing down by the ordinary plow generates the hard-pan found in long cultivated land. The pea crop should be planted now as soon as possible. Put in drills throe feet apart; a bushel of seed will plant four acres; and as seed is a considera tion', this mode is oftentimes preferable to broadcast sowing. More peas' can be raised by the former method of planting, but the latter is better for the land. If one’s object is to raise seed, drill by all means, and give necessary plowings and hoeiugs, which will not be a great deal The practice of planting peas in corn is good; it involves no expense except seed and the dropping or sowing of them. But we think the pea is entitled to a .glace on the farm as a regular crop to be planted by itself and properly cultivated. Its value, as a renovating or recuperat ing crop, is unsurpassed, and it holds no mean place as a food crop, either as grain or forage. It can lie made to take the place of com to a considerable de gree, as we have often seen, and can be raised at less expense. The gathering of the crop is the greatest obstacle to be overcome, but until a l>etter method is invented we can mow when the pods are alxmt grown and cure as forage. A oor- resjx indent mentioned recently a pea gathering machine—tliat is the tiling needed. Let inventive genius go to work in this direction. The problem is very much simpler than that of a cotton picking machine, and inventors have not yet abandoned the latter. J tine is a good month also in which to plant forage croj* generally. Last year we planted &ml>er cane on the 29th of June, and it was fully matured before frost. Maturing late it can be kept green and succulent for six weeks or two mouths, extending the season for feed ing green stuff well into the winter. Forage com planted at intervals of two or three weeks, up to the last of next ! month, will keep stock amply supplied i with good wholesome feed all through , autumn, without the necessity of trenek- ing on the winter's supply of fodder. It ix tlie miglect of such side crops that causes so much Northern and Western hay to lx 1 sold in the Houtli. A very few acres on each farm could supply all of the forage needed. Recently we pre sented the latest testimony and conclu sions alxmt ensilage. It is sufficiently encouraging to warraat every fanner trying it, on a small scale, at least The ex]x-nse of digging a small pit, putting in the forage, weighing it down and putting a simple roof over it will be very small. All can he done by the lalxirers on the farm after the crops are laid by. Plant the necessary crops to till one now and build silo later—I don't think you will regret the venture. Ijoet yi>ar, whilst laying hy some bot tom com, we broadcasted Hoja Uan over a 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 difficulty in mowing it, and gathered the crop in that way. It is doubtless a renovating crop like the pea, and might bo substituted for it on bottom lands, where the running vinos of the pea interfere with the pulling of fodder. The bean is very hard and the weevil does not seem partial to it We kept the seed two years before planting. Ground into meal there is no more nutritious grain to lie found. The yield is fine, and the bushy habit of growth and nutritious quality of the grain com mend it. Unless cat when young and green it would make poor forage as the stems become very hard and woody with age. As the oats crop was very much killed by the cold last winter, it is very desira ble that all that survived should be care fully saved with a view to propagating a hardier strain of winter oats. Darwin relates that spring wheat sown in autumn' was nearly all killed, but by planting the seed of that which survived, in a Tew years a hardy strain of winter wheat developed from the spring wheat. Why could not the same thing be done with oats? What is termed in Georgia “win ter grazing oats,” originally, we believe, from Virginia, certainly stands cold bet ter than the rust-proof. We have tested that point from sowings of each side by side on the same day last fall A decided sprinkling of the grazing oats survives, and scarcely a plant of the rust-proof is to be seen. The grazing oats is there fore the more promising as regards cold, but it is not rust-proof. What we need is a variety both nut and cold-proof. The present is a most excellent oppor tunity to begin work to that end. Let every one gather the scattered heads and sow the grain therefrom next antnmn. The pliability of the oats plant, so to speak, has been shown by the Burt and other early varieties recently developed; we are encouraged, therefore, to hope that it may be changed also in its power to resist eold. Wc trust also that an abundance of seed rye will be saved at the South this year. The area sown in this most valu able grain has been very materially cur tailed by the soareity of valuable seed. Western and Northern seed will not do well with us; we repeat, therefore, every one save all the rye he can. we have argued heretofore, all land on our fame owgfet to down in the fall, to prevent washing through winter there is nothing ■* rye.
