It con- sists of a la -Meseta which iitv miles long, terminating in Cape Cod. It is bounded on the eaet and south by the Atlantic ocean awl on the west by Buzzard's Bay aud the Cleveland boom which juts up against it. The soil is moatly light and sandy. producing the resinous genii of the John pine and the bright red boxberry. Dairy products, corn und wool, flourish here to some extent, and the hide Farmers' Alliance at Buzzard's Bay, of which Mr. Jeffer- son, Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Gilder are members, meeting on the first and third Tuesdays of each mouth, furuishes a most eutertaining place to go for an eveuing. Thus writes Bill Nye. There you will hear of the ravages of the cureulio and what the pros- pects are for ensilage and persiflage this fall. Mr. Jefferson keeps 1,600 head of cows on his Louisiana place, and it is said raiees his calves on con- densed milk. He loves dearly to fool with agriculture. On rainy days, wheinIr. Jefferson cannot work on the farm, he may often be seen in an oilskin coat dig- ging for angleworms, while near by you will see Mr. Cleveland with an old peaeh can almost filled with these delicious insects. The two start off together, and are often gone all day fishing in Buzzard's Bay, Buttermilk Bay or some of their tributaries. Trout come down into the salt water for the shrimps and also, I judge, for the breeze and change of scene, so that often the brook trout and sea bass, mackerel, weakfish, etc., are caught in the same waters. All sorts of sea food, from the large, aromat!c codfish of commerce to the kippered herring of the workaday world, are found here in the front dooryard of the great comedian. It is rather low of course to accept of a man's hospitality and then speak lightly of his agriculture, but I must Ray. tjjofthoBtmz- zard's Bay Farmers' Alliance, Chap- ter MI whem I met. inelteling theee ' • • r : . . • ••• • ' „ ; /; \ ,;-- i -fiivi i n t. it, T:EyLA,' IRIT glWESTER .\ t1, 101 \ • ///1 I 1 ' 1 /• • :--••'((i, \,..

People never do have to air an asparagu. bed. Mr. Booth. who has been visiting here this suit' liter, and who knows very little re- garditig agriculture, was admitted by I card ' while I was shut out. He foi- 1 lowed Mr. Cleveland's paper A% ith a discussion regarding \Spring told Fall Application of Mayonnaise Dressing in the Cultivation of Aspar- agus.\ When people talk that way about growing simple garden truck and are given a life membership in the Alliance, while one like myself, who farmed it successfully as long as his wife's money held out, and who, therefore, ought to know something regarding agriculture, is not per- mitted to join the debate, it naturally has a tendency to embitter one. Mr. Gilder read a paper regarding the \Rotation of Crops,\ and de- • scribed a new machine by the use of which he thought that crops could be given a rotary motion. From I ti the discussion became general, and gradually drifted into literature and the use of fresh liver and cod's heads for crabbing perposes. The use of iambic versification and the chub rod took up the attention of the Alliance for the rest of the evening. From what I could hear on the outside, I judge that these men knew no more regarding the uses and abuses of agriculture than do the Soekless Simpson and the umbrageous Helfer. Mr. Couldoek showed how the farmer suffered, how he was trodden into the earth and ill treated till his life was not worth living. He said that it is a dog's life. He showed that the farmer is reviled secretly by the politician and hoodwinked at the polls, ground down by the money lender and skinned by the merchant, ridiculed by the comic papers.: and lied about by the uncomic pipers, flayed by the lawyers and then barbecued by the fruit tree peddler, bunkoed by the bunko F avorer, goti wed Iiy t lie green goods' man, ignored liv CongreiS7iiii : geit the ronratmrr, shun by the wealthy . end pepper m eeed by the poor, peeled m this country since the arrival of F. r • \RM ELY • 1): - the poimile.as and tobaccuseut d ' the Clevelande, Jefferson; and Gil- it0 usurions, doge --1 by the tiers.

I did not suceeed in drawing out Mr. Cleveland regarding his candi- diacy, but he said naively, as he turned aside to spit on his bait, that his health was tiptop. \That he, as he unfastened his hook front the wainscoting of my trousers, \is one thing which I like about me.

Even his enemies must admit that. When we go out fishing anti return at night, Mr. Cleveland will not accept more than his just share of the catch. I do not say that Mr. Blaine would ex- pect to catch 'chubs' and 'pumpkin seeds' all day and then expect to offset them against brook trout, but at the same time I think he might consider that his conversational pow- ers would offset his suckers, while Mr. Cleveland does not try to so work his diplomatic gifts as to keep him in grub. He is a man who wants to give substantial justice to everybody, and of course this does not suit those who never tried it. Mr. Cleveland and his wife make good neighbors here, and he has never borrowed airy - thing yet that he has not returned. help hitn in having anti he helps me in harvest. We exchange works.

Butt fortunately the speculator will not get a chance at it, for the colony holds enough of it to keep the seini-barbaristn of a boom out of it. What can be sadder than the stealthy footfall of a tir.'2 boom in the soothing silence of the primeval forest? NAMES FREQUENTLY ai:I:N. Senator Carlisle and his wife tiro in New England. Bishop French, of England, who died recently in Arabia, was known as \that many tongued man of Lahore.\ The President'a daughter, Mrs. McKee, and Mrs. Harrison re- turned home from Europe on SepteitiLer a Airs. Barnett is eaid to be at work on a new juvenile of some length, to be brought out by her American publiehers some time this winter. Adolph Sutro, the millionaire of tunnel fame, says he is building the finest bath since Diocletian's. Acres of sea are to be inclosed with granite wails, paved and tiled and covered with glase, the tide, helm; admitted through suitable channels in the liv- ing stove. A hater from Robert Louis Stevenson's wife, dated Apia, July 111, conveys the following intelligence: \We live in tumult and fears of threetened maseavre. Mr. White has arranged to send his child to Hono- lulu in case of war, but the rest of us will stay and stick it out. Mr. Stevenson is ridiculously well.\ Prince Conti had the odd trick of barking exactly like a little yapping lap dog, and not infrequently barked at a lady instead of answering her. Once he was seized with a desire to perform this strange antic while in the throne room of Louis XIV., but knowing how furiously le grand monarque would have resented such an iufringement of his royal dignity, Conti hurried to an open window and, leaning out, pressed his handker- chief over his mouth and barked I softly to his heart's content.
