The melancholy days have come,
The saddest OF the year;
Gone are the pumpkin and the plum;
The falling leaves are sear;,
The partridge now forgets to drum,
The squirrel to uprear
His merry tail |: the brooks are glum;
Tho anglers disappear;
The crow pursues the vsgrant crnmo,
Too grateful for the cheer;
The top has ceased Its summer hum,
The kites are out OF gear:
Der mother earth fierce Autumn
Inverts his Icy spear.
Each morning some inbibc their rum,
And some absorb their beer;
Young oldiers humble "n-fo ium."
To drive away their fear.

Mate his precious dear,
And rallied instead Of being mum,
Because he did not see her,
Another man got deaf and dumb
Because he could not hear,

And danced polka on his thumb,
And walked of on his ear.

a COLOSSAL 6TATOE.-I06 lmnpenS6
bronze figure at Munich, typical of Ba-
vRria. is thus described in letter: This
wonderful statue. which We had only
seen from distance. is still more WON
derful on close inspection. We drove
ont in the cool OF the morning, before
the sun had concentrated it's rays on the
bnrnished metal, and thoroughly OK
plored 1t. A winding iron staircase
passes up through the white marble Pc
destal, and continues on through the
body OF the statue, the whole number
OF steps being about 130, one-half Of
which are through the pedestal, and the
balance through the internal portion Of
the statue. Tho stairs are narrow, only
large enough for one person to go
abreast, but until the waist of the figure
IS reached, tho banister on each side is
fully four feet from the outer m etal. 4

the reader will please to understand that
We had to stand erect inside of the head,
and rise on tip-too. It was too hot at
this early hour to remain long, espe-
ciaIly as We heard some more visitors
coming up. and concluded to bent q
hasty retreat. At the foot of Bavaria q
lion is sitting, and on tho inside both
the lion and the dress of the figure

with her right arm extended over her
head, holding wreath. The idea that
the figure itself is sixty feet high from
the heel to the crown Of the head seems
preposterous, and that it is possible for
ak persons to enter the cavity of tue
head ut one time, you feel disposed to
doubt. However, we thoroughly tested
it, and although there were four of us
in it ut one time, we assure the reader
that there was abundant room for two
more ordinarily sized mortals to be
comfortably seated. It stands on the
summit of hill, and sixty broad marble
steps hive to be mounted to reach the
level on which the pedestal and the
murble temple stands. The wreath in
the hand Of Bavaria is, therefore, nearly
200 feet above the level of the surround
ing country.

CRIMES OF CIvm1zAT1oN.-The Chero-
kee Aduocate, commenting upon an arti-
Gle in the Fort Smith Independent on the
increase OF crime in the Indinn Terri
tory, acknowledges that robbery and
murder have OF late years become fre-
quent but the murders and robberies
are committed by white men and ne.
groes along the lines of the railroads.
Away from the railroads and among
Indians exclusively. there is as little
crime as ever, perhaps less than before
the war. Except upon the railroad
routes, on the borders, and in Fort
Gibson, there is no.place in the Chero-
kee nation where ardent spirits are
drunk or can be obtained The trade
in Intoxicating liquors has generally
been abandoned, and those who still
pursue it ure looked upon as outcasts.
The proper remedy for crime in the
Indian Territory is to e1pel the whites
aud negroes who have intruded them
selves into the Indian country.

which was made out and out by Master

porter. He has, without Instruction or
assistance, built and equipped railroad
100 yards long. The track is of wood,
fastened to little cross-ties. and the en-
bankmonts and curves and trestle- work
are all OF his own build. The cars are

Petroleum is beginning to play dis

Petroleum is beginning to play dis
tinot part in the two or three separate
civil vars which are now going on in
Spain. It was, Of course, to be expect
ed that the favorite munition OF war of
the Paris Commune would find favor
with the Reds. Petroleum has become
us sacred symbol OF sans cuioitis:n as
the red flag. We were scarcely, he wever,
prepared to see the troops OF the Govern
ment armed with the oil-can and directed
to adopt the tactics of tho iucendiary.
And yet it is impossible to doubt that
the petroleum has now his recognized
place in the Spanish army. A CORES
pondent in the North of Spain reiates
disgraceful incident, which throws some
light upon the intelligence which
reaches rs every now and then of the
desertion of officers of character from
the Government service. A body of
troops passed out OF Bilboa, the other r
day, with the view of dispensing some
Carlists who had taken up command
ing position near the town. No fight
ing took place on the occasion. The
Carlists speedily disappeared, and the
troops could discover no foe, except the
unarmed inmates of few farm -ho nses,
who. it seems, were suspected Of having
furnished the partisans Of Charles VII
with bread and wine. The farm houses
were at once attacked. Their larders
and cellars were plundered, the people
were turned adrift. and the petroleum
eau was produced. The buildings were
burned to the ground, and of the furni-
ture they contained. every article but o
cradle, occupied by an infant few days
old, appears to have been consumed. It
may be necessary to allow the soldier as
wide II license rs we allow the poet; but
such outrages as this can only excite
universal disgust.

The New Orleans Times devotes a co.
lnmn to discussion of tho trade pros.
poets for the coming season Mt the
South western metropolis, and repro
scnts them rs encouraging, tho sugar
and cotton crops constituting a basis
for an increase in business of twenty
per cent. over last year. But it makes
some statements which, if true, are strong
and damaging confirmation Of the cor
ruptio1 that exists in the New York
Custom House. and makes that institu-
tion nest of official scandals. Of the
foreign goods sold in New Orleans ut
wholesale, only abont twenty per cent.
are imported directly by the merchants
of the city. The balance, or eighty per
cent, is purchased at New York and
other Northern cities. Tho merchants
find it cheaper to purchase in New York
aud pay the coastwise freight, thnn to
import direct and pay the duties ut the
home Custom House, and the reason
which they give is that the New York
importers, when they receive large in
voices, amounting, in somo casos, to
several millions OF dollars, the duties on
which may be twenty-five per cent. al
ra!orem, club together, bribe the Gus
tom House officials, with, perhaps. two
per cent. and thus dodge the legitimate
duties. What they do not wish to hold
over, they soil to other jobbors. This
is remarkable statement. but, if true,
it reveals much moro remarkable state
of things, for it is thus made to appear
that moro than half Of New Orleans
Wholesale trade is of smugged goods,
brought into tho country with the con-
nivance Of the New York Custom House.
Here is something moro for Secretary
Richardson to ruminate upon.

The DETERIORATION OF AMERICAN
COTTON. The Nashville Bannsr says a
statement having been made, both in
this country and Europe, that tho qua
lity uf American cotton had deteriorated
within the past ten years, the Commits
sioner of Agriculture, early last spring,
prepared circular upon this subject,
and sent it to large number of the
leading cotton planters and cotton ma
nufaoturers. It contained two ques-
tions. First-"Has American cotton
deteriorated in quality during the last
decade?" Second-"If so, to what
cause is it attributahle?" The general
tenor of the answers runs in this chan
nel
THAT while the quality of cotton
now brought to market is inferior in
condition to what was produced twelve
years ago. that condition is attributable
to causes which do not necessarily enter
into the production and sale of the
commodity"
In support of this statement, it was
remarked, that
"Soon after the close OF the war, q
large number of the most intelligent and
progressive planters of the South were
at great pains to procure good seed,
giving in many instances as high MS $40
per bushel for them. These seeds were
planted with care, the cotton carefully
picked and handled and sent tn market; !;
but when it reached the buyer, these
planters discovered that the buyer was
not disposed to make any discrimination
between his fine and clean cotton and
the cotton Of the careless planter, which
might be full of notes and sand"
This being tho case, planters paid
more attention to the quantity OF cot
ton they raised than to the quality; and
that is the offered explanation OF what
deterioration there is truly observable
in cotton raised in tho United States in
1872, aud that raised IN 1853 and the
two following years. AS the quality OF
our cotton rules that of the world, it is
highly important that tue homo stand
ard should be restored TO it's old mark.
