INDIAN SUMMER.

This beautiful, almost fairy season, is nigh at
hand. 1t sometimes occurs in October, though
we believe it is not regarded genuine and ortho-
dox, if it appear before November. For ourselves,
we are glad to see it at any time. Why called
Indian Summer? you ask The only reason we
ever heard of was, that during this period the
Indians are accustomed to gather their stores of
corn and rice and nuts for the winter
Mr. Merriam, and everybody else who owns a
thermometer, has observed that from the end of
August to the end of September, there is grad
ual and constant diminution of the heat; but that
about the middle of October, change occurs, and
for two weeks or more, there is, with slight excep-
tions, and increase of daily heat. This is not pc
culiar to our continent. In northern Europe and
Asia, there is period known as ''the second Sum-
mer," the "afterheat," setting in just before the
beginning of Winter. But in America, this pc
Rod is marked by one feature almost unknown
elsewhere We refer to brilliant changes of the
foliage of the trees 1t would seem as if Nature
were trying to conceal the decay which is stealing
upon her. by the increased gorgeouspess of her ap-
parel, and the -Spring-like youthfulness of her
voice and air. But let us not SANDER her.
This change in the hues of vegetation is indeed
perceptible somewhat in September. 1t begins,
in very small way, before frost; but the most
sudden and brilliant colorings produced by
spells throughout October and the first part of
November; sometimes he does the most Of it in a
single night. And what grand exhibition he
makes. At his touch the oak turns a rich brown,
or red purple; the birch and lareh yellow; the
tulip-tree rich lemon color; the peperidge fiery
scarlet the naples nearly every tint from green to
gold and crimson, and scarlet and pink; the ever
greens retain their original green and set off the
other hues in fine contrast.

Ten YEARs.-The changes which have taken
place between 1850 and 1860 in the economic
condition of our country very great. In that
period the gold mines have been discovered in Cali
forna and Australia In 1910 we had 81 paper
circulation to 81 of specie; in 1850 only 50 to 81
in 1860 less than 50 to 81. In 1S49 the product
of precious metals was 800, 900 900; in 1859 it
was 1864, 600, 900. The whole amount now in the
world is estimated at $4,000, 100000, of which
six-tenths is silver 1t was always supposed that
a sudden increase in the quantity of money in.
creases prices. This has not proved true for in
spite of the influx of gold, and in spite of the re-
peal of the English corn laws, which has enabled
us to export immense quantities of -four ana grain
prices in general are lower and wages higher than
they ever were before Tables show that prices
generally during forty years were highest in 1887
and lowest about 1913. Flour was so scarce in
1S47 that We imported $4,000 900; its average
price for forty years has been S654 per barrel
The sale of tea nas increased in twenty five years
from 100000 to 36,000,000 lbs; the average
price for that period has been forty-eight cents
The cotton crop has increased in forty years from
1SO,U0O,OOO lbs. to 300 100000 lbs great
demand for breadstuffs from 1850 to 1857 occa-
stoned by railway labor and the repeal of the Brit
ish corn laws, kept prices generally on the ad-
vance, but in 1857, OF account of the abundant
crops. the slackening OF the shipping and railway
interests and a glutted cotton market the down
ward tendency prevailed. Our exports of bread
stuffs from 1850 to 1860 were $3.50, 900 0OO.-
Prices do not seem generally to be affected by the
fluctuations of paper currency. In lS49 the
bank-note circulation was Sis 100000; in 1852,
Sl73, 900 600; in March, 1858, it was Sl20 000,-
900, shortly after which it rose to $50, 100000.
