The last rose of summer has
bloomed, faded and scattcd its petals,
and the early autumn winds, sighing
through dying foliage, and sobbing
’neath a leaden sky ’moog the turning

the advent of fall. Yesterday was a
typical fall day; the half chilly winds,
the shifting clouds and the paltering
rain, all spoke of autumn.

they died within a few hours of each

Correspondents of the New York
Sun have suggested the following ns
the longest words in tho [English lan
guage: Dis-pro por tion-a-hlc-nesi.
Hon or-if-i-'ca-bil-i-tud-in-i-ty. Dis-
es-tab lish-mcnt-a-ri-an-isni. Un pro-
pre-an-te-pen-ult-i-mnt-ca bil-i-ty.
The meaning of the last is obvious
says one correspondent, nnd may be
predicated of the great majority *of
words in every language, since it ap
plies to all that have no “propre-
antepenult;” that is to every word
of less than six syllables. The stem
of the word, of course, is “ult,” the
remainder being an aggregation of
prefixes and suffixes.
Mayor Hopkins had only one case

and cost, or going to jail for tour days.
The cose against him for contempt,
consisting of not obeying his polico
summons, was not pushed, as Young
plead sickness ns his excuse.

Speaking of tho late destruction ot
a big whisky storehouse iu Louisville,
Mr. Watterson of the Courier-Journal
made this statement: “Over a million
gallons ot whisky were burned —
enough to givo every inhabitant of

Old topers will read this paragraph
with a deep groan.
The Boston Globe, comparing the
