Autumnal Season.
The writer remembers that, once,
in September—it was the 20th day of
that month—the heat w r as as great as
in any day of July or August. He
had been roving'through neighboring
woods in search of game and having
been quite successful, on reaching the
barn lot he sought the shady side of a
large new granary to rest in'the shade
of a venerable oak towering near it,
that was still lusty, spreading out its
great limbs with its broad leaves still
as green as in midsummer. It seemed
to be more beautiful for age. The
wind arose and shuffled its leaves as
we have seen them on a breezy day in
the hot month of July. All observing
persons have noticed*how some of the
hot suns, in September, rival those of
August. While there a change came
over the sky. The sun became ob
scured by clouds, the wind arose and
soon the air was cooled. In the mean
time I had taken a snug place in the
old barn, for the rain began to fall
and the winds chanted one of nature's
solemn and mysterious dirges through
the apertures which time had made
between the old planks which once
completely enveloped it; when the
rain, which had so suddenly come,
ceased to fall. I made my way to the
residence and enjoyed a moderate lire
which the sudden change had caused
to be made, chiefly, for myself, as I
bad experienced another slight fall on
my way to the dwelling. The sun,
whose rays a little while before were
so intense, bad lost its beat. Its race
had run and autumn's chilly blasts
were coming fast. The pride of sum
mer, that, in its youth had gloried in
noontide soverignty, was yielding to
autumn's zephyr sighs. Its prime
was gone, and quivering in the fading
leaves, which, from green to red were
falling to decay upon the trees of the
forest, the flowers of the gardens, and
the liortulan splendor which had giv
en so much beauty to its green vistas
and labyrinthine alleys. Yet still, the
gun was casting upon them a yellow
green light as if loth to yield its
warm protective power. As it, by de
grees, falls with fading light upon
these and upon the cold ground, so it
is with man. Sad, solitary and old, in
the autumn of life, he ceases his sum
mer talk, his moonlight walks, and
all the witchery of the Spring and
summer time of youth impearled
with dew, and though, still living,
feels the sombre livery of age calling
for its prey. In this, nature is yield
ing to the approach of increasing
years, and the leafy bier portrayed
the triumph of time over the pride of
youthful and summer life. As the
leaf changes its hues, so life grows its
fading colors, and pictures the
changes that lead to the darkness of
the grave. Man may be compared to
the changing seasons, to the Spring,
the summer, and the autumn with its
fading leaves. Still he has his autumn
tints which gild the closing scene.
He bides his time hanging, often, as
by a thread for years, and at last
with shrivelled heart and weakened
nerves, emblemed by the falling leaf,
his fate is sealed in the silent grave
Thousands have enjoyed the still
ness of an autumn eve; softly the
clouds, in color masses, are painted
with ethereal sunlight and how beau
tiful are the woodlands, and vales and
fields, upon which it sheds its tender
and ethereal light, mellowing them in
cluding houses and cottages in soft
and mellow hues; and the evening
clouds and the morning skies are ar
rayed in indescribable beauty. The
fields are arrayed in a softened loveli
ness whicn bids defiance to descrip
tion or the painter’s brush. It is a
scene in which nature exhibits its
lovely power, mantling flowers, trees
and shrubbery, in a livery of matchless
beauty. It is an impressive sermon
to the beholder, and a memento of
the turf under which he must soon lie
in perpetual sleep and silence. Even
ing shadows and morning light are
softened in sunny crimson colors and
give to the blue skies, the hills and
vales, visions of beauty unequalled at
any other season of the year. Such
beauteous sights are never seen in
such touching power in spring or
summer. Autumn is the season in
which nature pictures its loveliest
colors. Blight, as is the sun in spring
and summer, it gives the soul no such
le«son of beauty and wholesome con
templation, as when its rays are mel
lowed in the lovely autumn season.
And above all it brings the heart to
dwell u*km the lapse of years and the
end which approaches,' and bows in
submissive reverence to the almighty
power from which all blessings flow
for temporal and eternal life. It is
the season in which, above all others
and all the flowery earth fading into
softened and dying colors. Some po
et has said the Autumnal eve is sa
cred to musing, and dear to every ten
der thought.” This is seen in the
changing and fallen leaves, the sun's
declining heat, and in the less joyous
and tenderer tones of the sweet sing
ing birds.
Sweet Autumn! Loved season of
the year! Comforter and teacher to
lead man to consider his final end and
seek the joys and blessings of eternal
life. It is well to study its precepts.
MR. BLAINE.

and awake to thoughts of eternal in
terest. And this is natural, for na
ture, itself, seems to glow more softly
than in any otherseason, and. under it,
pride and unruly passions are subdued
in beholding the beauties of the earth,
its skies and suns, its light, and heat,
It seems that Mr. Blaine, without
any formal action of the Republican
party, has already opened the cam
paign for 1888. He has been making
speeches in Maine and Pennsylvania,
and if my spectacles do not deceive
me, he is placed in the attitude of a
candidate for the Presidency at the
next election. We can scarcely sup
pose that he comes forward thus
prominently of his own accord, but is
acting under the advisement of prom
inent leaders of the Republican par
ty. We had supposed that he had
sunk himself beneath the respect of
a considerable portion of the North
ern people and would not be brought
forward again. It seems, however,
that he was invited by the Republi
can leaders in Pennsylvania, to visit
that state and address the people at
various places. What for? unless the
object was to give him timely promi
nence and make him the central ob
ject of Republican notice. Wherever
he spoke lie was received and listened
to with distinguished consideration,
and was vociferously cheered by the
large audiences present. The burden
of iiis speeches was the protective tar
iff, and the old worn out bloody shirt.
We had supposed that the latter has
been remanded to the rear to be
flaunted no more in the faces and
eyes of the people.
We are not proposing to follow Mr.
Blaine in his cunning quibbling, and
l>itter but false inuendoes on that
subject, now, and merely refer to it as
a part of the policy, backed by the
cheers of his auditors, that is to be
adopted by the republicans in their
efforts to regain power, at the next
Presidential election. His declara
tions, about the mistreatment and
unhappy condition of the negroes of
the South, is a contemptuble by-play
that many of the people of the North
ought to see. The condition of the
negroes at the South is far better than
that of the same race at the North.
As poor as the people of the South
have been and still are, they make no
discrimination in educational facilities
between the black and white races.
The same advantages given to the
whites are extended to the negroes,
and the polls are opened as freely to
them as to the whites. Indeed we
believe they are better treated in all
respects than they are at the North.
We thought the result of the elec
tion of 1884, had placed Mr. Blaine at
the end of the row; at the end of his
political 9tring. That was a close
home-tlirust, a violent wound dealt in
an unexpected moment, something
that would leave a galling pain with
no alleviation, however it might be
bandaged up; the pain continues
within, and has even become a dis
ease. Such must be the case to many
of liis party, for the truth stares
them in the face and pictures inade
quacy and guilt palpable and ineradi
cable. Some men in error are admir
able rope dancers, but no exquisite
trimmings can save them when caught
in falsehood and uncovered to the
light of every sensible and honest
man. In such a case there is no hope
and it quivers in an uncertain and un
steady hand. He is gone at last and
his game is up. The same charges
that defeated Mr. Blaine in 1884,
would be made with even greater force
in 1888, and with greater effect be
cause the testimony will be clearer.
It is better for such a man to retire,
for the testimony exposes him to a
trembling political ague which no
medicine can cure. He cannot unsay
and undo what his words proved,
and they were fatal. To admit the
wrong and retract, in such a case as
his, is political death. It is shameful
to palter in a double sense. That is
worse than taking a false position
and sticking to it. These stumblings
show him to be unfit for a leader, and
though many may stand by him, still
many will turn from him as an unsafe
guide in a close contest. We would
not say as much as we do now, but
for the shameful abuse which Mr.
Blaine injustly heaps upon the South
ern people.
The great meteoric display, gener
ally spoken of by the common run of
people—and especially the negroes—
as the time when “the stars fell,” oc
curred on the morning of the 13th
November, 1833, between ’midnight
and daybreak. The morning light
came but the stars (meteors) still con
tinued “to fall,” as long as the grow
ing hght permitted them to be seen
The newspapers of the day stated
that similar appearances had been
seen in other parts of the world with
in the preceding century, and that
those appearances occurred at inter
vals of 33 years. If we are not mis
taken, Humboldt, the celebrated
German scientist and traveller, men
tions in his writings that similar bril
liant meteoric displays were observed
in South America, during his travels
in that region, perhaps in the year
1767, or at any rate at a period corres
ponding with the intervals of 33 years
counting back from 1833. Again in
1866, 33 years after the date of the
great “star shower” first above men
tioned, another remarkable meteoric
display was observed, but it was per
haps not so notable as the one of
1833, in this country at least. It is
said that astronomers have observed
an unusual display of meteors every
year about the same period in every
succeeding November, say about the
12th, 13th and 14th nights of that
month, and it may be a matter of in
terest to some of our readers, espe
cially the pupils in our college whose
studies are directed to such subjects,
to watch for themselves on the nights
af Friday, Saturday and Sunday next
and see if indeed, the meteors are
more plentiful than usual.
Referring to the intervals of 33
years between the great meteoric dis
plays in the past, it is to be presumed
that if the supply shall not be ex
hausted before that time, those who
may be then living may witness in
November, 1899, another of these won
derful displays of heavenly fireworks,
if we may so call them. The writer
will state however that in watching
for the annual November meteors, in
past years, he has been somewhat dis
appointed in his expectations of see
ing a marked meteoric display, but he
gave very little time to it and may
have missed his object by failing to
be on watch at the right time.

Washington, Oct, 30, 188&
Editor Union-Recorder:
It is remarkable, but true, that tl»e
Government officers of the United
States, here and elsewhere, with their
130,000 employes, are going on in their
work with industry and regularity.
This state of things is unparalleled.
It has had no existence except in the
dreams of enthusiasts.- But to make
the surprise more surprising, this re
form has been brought about by the
unredeemed and irredeemable, too
utterly unspeakable bad Democrats.
Has the tongue of Radical haranguer
lost its lubricity? Have the fictions
with which he was wont to rally the
rural republican, become threadbare''
Why is this thus? What mean these
moss grown stumps, no longer pressed
by # the number nines of frontier
Blaineites? Where is our once un
tamed and rampant for bread and
butter Republican oratorical mendac
ity? Come with me reader, and you
shall see him. Here he sits in the
Patent Office examining an applica
tion for a patent on a churn or bus'fle
or an improved baby walker. There
he is in the Pension Office, hard at
legitimate work under Democratic
Commissioner Black, who with a
smaller force passed many more pan-
sions than any Republican commis
sioner, and paid $3,000,000 more in
pensions than Republican Dudley his
predecessor. You see him in the
Treasury Department, in the Land
Office, the Indian Office, the Post Of
fice Department—everywhere hard at
work. How tame he looks. He will
not hurt you. His malign energv is
scotched. There is a restless pent-up
ness about him. It seems abnormal
to him to be confined to honest work,
during a political campaign, but he
will get used to it; it will not kil! him.
By and by the novel idea that he ?*
paid to work for the Uuib-d Srates
and not for the Republican party will
ake root in the worn soil of his mewriitj
sense. His inocuous political desue
tude will be a blessing to the country.
What wonderful changes have taJt -
en place in twenty months? Thtwr-
have overcome us like a summer
cloud, not dark and portentous, but
big with salubrious showers.
Twenty months ago, the properrv
owners in Washington were despon
dent. It was predicted that a Demo
cratic President would dismiss all the
office holders, that five thousand own
ers of homes in Washington would
have to sell at a loss, and that a fall
in real estate would follow. The re
sult has been the reverse of that pre
diction. Instead of wholesale dismis
sals, only the idle, the incompetent
and the dissipated were cast out. The
health, the moral tone and efficiency
of the public service was greatly ine
proved. An improvement in real es>
tate and in general business followed,
as a natural result. The Government
employe and his dependents, who
compose fully one half the population
of Washington, no longer feel that
their living depends upon political,
service, or upon the ins and outs of
political parties. He has become a
changed man—more respected by otii -
ers, having more respect for himself.
His credit is better, and now, instead
of selling his home, he holds it at a,
higher price. Hundreds who ba.ve •
heretofore rented property or lived m
boarding houses, are buying ami
building. One more term of honest
Democratic Administration will ph*e*
the National Capital on the solki
ground of assured prosperity. It will
require another term to enable the
tree of political life which Cleveland
has planted and watered, to take root
and bear fruit. Should Blaine or La
gan or Sherman come in two years
hence, it would surely be uprooted.
I believe that a large majority of
office holders here are no longer Re -
publican. They enjoy a security un
der civil service reform that they have
never known before, and they arc
