Besides the 10.000 acres planted in vines, the Governor owns 10,000 acres more that. he has lately acquired by pur- chase, some of which he is now putting ip grgin and some is used as pasture.- " The main Hitches ‘rnn east and west across the field, and where the field is uneven intersecting ditches are mule. In some cases it has been neceasary to construct. flumcs to carry the water over lower lands. A flume 1,800 footlonghas neen built to carry the water over the alfalfa. fields. 'l‘he irrigation of this vineyard is. perhaps, the most comPlete in the world. At regular intervals t irough the vine- yard avenues are out which are fifty feet ID width. Throu 11 these avenues are run irrigating ditc res. with a drive-way on each side. The blocks thus formed by the irrigating ditches are about fifty yards wide, but extend a great length. and contain about a hundred acres each. in this way the s stem of irrigation is made complete (“It all the land receives an equal pro )ortion of water. Ever two of these h ocks are planted to a ' - forent varietxotgrapes. apart. uwy are all very tlmfty and form a beautiful sight. when viewed from any direction. . ' Wc'hxul the pleasure recently of view- ing the immense vineyard of Governor Stanford at Vina. The vineyard is probably the largest in the State. There are at present 10.000 acres planted in grape vines of different varieties, the greater portion of which are young and as yet have not been pmlnctive. The old Gerke vineyard. which forms the nucleus. covers a. space of seventy-five acres; to this 1.000 acres of young vines were added in 1882, and 1,500 in 1883. The system that has been followed in planting vines is very systematic~the vines being an equal and exact distance apart. They ere allvery thrifty and form - President Garfield used to have the habit, also ractised by acme others, of taking his rie’nd's‘hand lightly, admitly giving him a vigorous slap on the back, and then withdrawing his hand before the victim had recovered from his aur- prise. As no visitor ever dared to slap back, this plan seemed to work very \voll indeed. It indicated sufficient cordiality. saved tho l’resident's hand. and at the same time the exercise of slapping kept him in good healthâ€"Buf- falo b'J'prm-x. da , is naturally painful. resident Arthur's plan of handshak- iug will doubtless be collyied without credit by some other pubic men, but not generall . The most of them have larger hau 8 than the President, and have not so much cause to fear a squeeze. For others the method is not oonlisl enough. Mr. Blaine, though he has a. medium-sized hand, prevents it being squeezed by seizing his friend's hand in both his own. quick movement, seizes the extended hand, shakes it, and drops it before the handshaker is fairly aware what has happened. By this dexterity the Presi- (10!th escapes having his hand' wrung until the bones crackâ€"a. process which, repeated several hundred times in I daz, is naturally painful. in plan and surprising in cficct,.but‘i'u‘ ofionsiéa. When the President‘sees I. man coming at him for the usual salu- tation he stands impassive. with liis hands at his aides, until his friend rempes him. Then the President. by a. President Arthnr' 18 said to have suf- foreu so much from the prevalent custom of making hands that he has made the subjects study and has re- duced ihtoqfina art. This art is simple in plan and surprising In effect. but m. One of Woousocket's prominent mill- owners said lately that somewhere back in the " forties " he predicted that tho Blackstone River would. monar- or later, become useless as a water power agent. He does not attribute the primary cause of the gradual subsidence to continual dry seasons. but to a combination of conditions. the principal one being the running out; or diversions. of the river's numerous tributaries.-â€"â€"Pmridmw, (1;. 1.)

At frequent intervals the bed of the Blackstone River is plainly visible in some places. in fact it is oftentimes exposed to View. It has been gradually growing lower for the ten years Inst past.'and the meadows that in the old times were at this season of the year on. tirely covered with water to a greater or less depth, are as dry as pasture land today, and quite suitable for heuso eta.
