Falling Leaves.

M ANY persons think that when leaves
1xl turn red and yellow in the Fall it is
because they have been killed by the frost
But q little observation will show that such
is not the case, and that the Autumns
when the leaves are the most beautiful are
those in which the frost is the latest. This
has been notably the case this year.
A severe frost kills the leaves at once,
and they soon fall, brown and withered.
To be brilliant they must ripen naturally,
and our hot September and October midday
suns have probably much to do with it. In
England where the Falls are apt to be
damp and cloudy, the leaves are not SO
bright, and American artists, who strive
to paint our naples and dog-woods as they
see them, are unjustly accused of over-col-
oriDg.
The leaves fall because they are ripe and
have performed the services that was al
lotted them. The leaf is the laboratory of
the plant, and in it are performed most of
the operations essential to its growth. 1t
takes the crude materials gathered by the
roots, refnes them, rejecting all that is not
essential to the plant and out of the re-
mainder constructs the highly complex
bodies that are found in other parts of the.
plant. These rejected parts consist mainly
of earthly matter that was in solution in the
water taken by the roots, and it is depos-
tied in the cells of the leaf This is shown
by the fact that the leaf contains far more
ash than any other part of the plant. In
some plants the ash of the leaf amounts to
over 20 per cent, while that of the wood
rarely exceeds two or three. When tho
cells become completely clogged up with
this matter, the leaf can no longer perform
it's functions, and so ripens and falls off.
Provision has already been made for this
separation. If the foot-stalks of most
leaves be examined, it will be found kind
of joint exists near the body of the plant,
even when the leaf is quite young /; as it
grows older this joint becomes marked, and
finally when it is ripe gentle breeze will
shake it off, and no wound is left, moth
ing but the scar; the wound was healed
even before it was made. The same is
also true of fruits, which by botanists are
regarded as nothing but developed leaves
joint may generally be found in the stem,
at which it separates readily. This is very
marked in the grape it is situated at a
little swelling that is to be found on the
stem. A slight bend will sep arate the
stem at this point, while it takes strong
pull to sever it above or below. Even on
the evergreen trees, which apparently
never shed their leaves, the leaves exist at
most but two or three years, when they
are replaced by new ones, the old falling
away as they become unfit for active duty
but the leaves in this case being shed most
ly in the Spring, we do not miss them.

Freaks of a st. Paul Cow.

A ludicrous performance occurred on
Fourth street yesterday afternoon, the
scene being laid near the Metropolitan
Hotel, and the principal figure being COW
of mild aspect, but not remarkably hand
some. The front door had been left open,
and the lady Of the house hearing tremen-
dous clatter of hoofs on the stairway lead
ing to the upper story of her domicil,
started hurriedly to ascertain the cause of
the phenomenon. She arrived in time to
see cows tail swinging aloft at the head
of the stairs, and soon the animal had
found her way into small closet in the
vicinity, and at once became profoundly
interested in sack Of meal, or some other
pleasant object stored therein. The lady
failing to appreciate the transformation of
her tidy apartment into common stable,
at once inaugurated battle against the tres
passer, and by the use of signs, movements
ans passwords, which only lady can re-
call on such an occasion, undertook to eject
the COW from the premises. Bossy failed
to see the signs and did not seem to care
cob about the lady's wishes. The lady
shook her apron at the cow and reached out
her hand carefully for more effective
weapon of warfare. The COW comprehend
ed the situation at last, and her head was
lowered, her tail was flung in the air, and
her back was curved majestically. The
lady concluded the air in her stairway was
not conducive to health and rushed out
doors calling for help. 1t came in d short
time, and the COW was eventually elected,
but not until some threatening demonstra-
tions had been made on the leyies or rein
forcements operating against her within
the fortress. st. Paul Press

Fred. Eckerson's Proposal.
ssNTIsS BECKY NEWTON" p =
Nl "Well, sir"
"Will you marry me ?"


every we'll then, don't, that's ALL"
Mr.. Fred Eckerson drew away his chair
and putting his feet on the pizza, unfolded
newspaper. Miss Becky Newton bit her
lip and went ON with her sewing. She
wondered if that was going to be the last
of it. She had felt this proposal coming
for nearly month but the scene she had
anticipated was not at all like this. She
had intended to refuse him, but it. was to
be done gracefully. She was to remain
firm, Notwithstanding his most eager ell
treaties. She was to have told him that,
though respecting his manly worth and
upright character, she could never be more
than an appreciating friend, she had intend
ed TO shed few tears, perhaps, as he knelt
inan agony of supplication at her feet. But
instead, he had asked the simple question,
without any rhetorical embellishments, and
on being answered, plunged at once into
his newspaper, as though he had merely
inquired the time of day. She could have
cried with vexation.
"You will never have a better chance"
he continued, after pause, as he deliber-
ately turned over to find the latest tele-
graph reports
ga better chance for what? ?'' she asked
shortly.
" A better chance to marry young good
looking man, whose gallantry to the sex
is only exceeded by his bravery in their
defence" Fred was quoting from his
newspaper, but Miss Newton did not know
it. DIH Ylt
"And whose egotism is only exceeded
by his impudence," retorted the lady sar-
castically.
Before long, continued Fred, "you
will be out of the market. Your chances,
you know, are getting simmer every day."
"Sir y
at won't be great while before you
are ineligible. You will grow old and
wrinkled, and"
"Such rudeness to lady, sir, it is mon
strous y exclaimed Miss Newton rising
hastily and flushing to the temples.
"1'l give you final opportunity, Miss
Becky. Will you mar"
"Not if YOU were the King of England, ;"
interrupted Miss Newton, throwing down
her work. 81 am not accustomed to such
insults, SIR" And so saying she passed
into the house aud slammed the door be-
hind her.
She is never as handsome as when she
is in rage" thought Fred to himself after
she had gone, as he slowly folded up his
paper az he replaced It in his pocket. AZ

ADAMS GRAFTON ON SEWARD.

The Grafton of Charles Francis Adams
on the life and character of William H.
Seward will stand as one of the finest eff
forts of the kind made in this generation.
There has always existed a warm personal
friendship between the orator and his sub
iect and though that relation is easily
traceable in the ardor and fullness in
which the orator amplifies all the favorable
features of Mr.. Stewards character
there is vet such judicial fairness and
candor about it all as TO impress upon the
mind of the reader the conviction that
truth was his highest aim. After reciting
fully the great services rendered to the
Republican party by Mr.. Seward and the
claims such services gave him upon the
party, Mr.. Adams says, that when
Mr. Lincoln assumed the duties of
President, Mr.. Seward fully realizing the
perils besetting the country and the neces-
sity for harmonious action within the Adj
ministration, voluntarily went to Mr.. Lin
coin and renounced all ambition to become
Chief Magistrate of the nation. BY this
self abnegatioD, says his eulogist, the Pres
ident and his chief adviser were thrown
into close and intimate personal relations
and the country had the benefit of the
untrammeled advice and services of the
great statesman.
Mr.. Adams dwells largely upon the con-
dition of the foreign service of the Govern
ment at the time Mr.. Seward became
Secretary of State of the distrust of our
cause by foreign governments owing to
the treachery of Buchanan's Ministers and
Agents and of the zeal and confidence in
spired among the new representatives
abroad by the patriotic and never despair
ing views impaired in Mr.. Stewards State
papers.
Mr.. Adams occupied position during
the war where his experience enables him
to speak adyisedly and impartially of this
part of Mr.. Stewards public life. No one
familiar with the history of those eventful
years can fail to recognize fully the incom-
parable services he rendered. His good
judgement, ability and tact unquestion-
ably averted foreign complications.
How much the war would have been pro-
tracted by trouble with England or France
is hard now to say, but certain it is, that
even the most sanguine friends of the
Government fully realized at the time that
to Mr.. Seward more than any one else was
due the credit for rescuing us from that
6 reat danger.
The intelligent reader desiring an impair
tial review of the life of the great states
man would do well to read this Grafton and
we only regret that its great length-over
IA, 900 words-makes it impossible to pro-
duce it in full in the CHRONICLE for their
benefit.

ing rapidly improved. Streets have been
laid off and several fine residences are
nearly completed. Mr.. Hugh l.. McClung

this point is certainly grand and pic
turesque, having a view of the river from
some distance both ways, as well as a view

Mr.. S. I. Atllin is now building another
good sized dwelling on the same hill,
which we understand is to be neatly
finished. r........ ...rt san
Mr.. Adney, of the firm of Cruze & Adney,
has nearly completed a nice residence on
Main street, about one squire east of First
Creek. - r.s .. I'll. r.....F .I# .
Having made the entire round this
completes the list as near as we could as
certain We have no doubt but that num-
bers of lots have been purchased az before
stated, upon which buildings will be erect
ed in less than two months, and think we
can safely add to the above list of Ga build
ings about 20, of which we failed to learn.
This certainly speaks we'll for the future
growth of Knoxville. There is at present
considerable activity in the real estate
market, and in some localities it has adj
vanced very rapidly. 1t is, however, moth
ing more than can be expected, for strang-
ers, when looking for home can not fail
to be pleased with our rapidly growing

IT costs but little to find fault, and the
opposition press improve every opportuni-
ty, with or without cause. The resignation
sorry Board, because his scheme for taking
from the President all discretion in the
matter of appointments was not carried
out, has been made the preteXt for much
unmerited abuse of the President Though
nine-tenths of the appointments made by
him are in accordance with the spirit of the
reform movement, civil service reform is
pronounced failure because the ideal of
that movement, is not at once fully real
lied. 1t appears from a semi-offical state
ment lately made, that of the three hun
dred and fifty appointments of postmasters
made up to the LIST of April, by the new
Administration, all bat tUelUe acre reap
potntn'cnt8 Time will show whether, in
the twelve changes, the public service was
promoted. Such facts show that, in spite
of repeated dcnunciations, the real work
of reform goes on, as far as can reasonably
be expected.
Some severe comments have been made
egarding the change in the Post Office at
Charleston. South Carolina. The Presi-
dent was invited to visit that city, but de-
cllned Tor the present, owing to "A post
ponement OF his proposed Southern tour.
In the face OF this invitation, we are told,
the President insulted the citizens of
Charleston by the appointment of an OBJ
lectlonable postmaster. Just as though the
President could personally know of the
merits OF his sixty thousand appointees to
Office Now, it has been clearly demon
strated in innumerable cases, that where
he has made mistakes in his appointments
and his error has been shown, he has
promptly repaired the wrong. So ii would
be In this case II the proper parties under
took the correction. If this were under
taken, instead of wholesale abuse, the pub
lie service would be promoted
