Riun Greek.

We have been furnished with copy
of the proceedings of meeting of the

the proceedings. The meeting, which
was largely attended, was called to order
by H. @. Havens, Esq. and on motion
Col. Jas. 3. McRae was elected chair
man and VIM. Martin secretary. Mr.
Fl. G. Havens offered the following res

The above proceedings are all right
and proper enough. But why body

meet in primary convention and vote
down a resolution to abide the decision
of the nominating convention is some.

A gentleman from our city, visiting
Bay st. Louis few days since, informs
us that he was refused board in one of
the principal hotels of that place simply
because he had, upon former occasion.
dared to assert, in conversation with
several gentlemen from New Orleans.
that there was no comparison between
our Sea- h)re and Bay st. Louis, and
that in his opinion Psscagoula certainly
possessed the most desirable facilities as
a summer resort. In the future we
would advise our citizens when visiting
Bay st. Louis not to proclaim the fact
that they are from Pascagoula, or it may
be a difficult matter for them to procure
accommodations in some of the hotels.

Autumnal Tints.
WHY THE LEAVES CHANGE-IT Is NOT
JACK FRosT's WORK.

1t is very curious to observe the regulari-
ty with which we are told in the autumn
that "the frost will change the color of the
leaves" whereas the frost has nothing to do
with the change. 1t has, indeed, sometimes
happened in New England that the foliage
has changed, as if by magic in a single night,
so that by looking out of the window in the
morning, the eye was surprised with the
world wellnigh on fire and since the trans
formation took place in connection with
the mercury at low point, the whole af-
fair is rrferred to the agency Of Jack Frost.
But why not refer to this prestidigitator the
glowing tints of the apple, the rich crimson
of the velvet peach, and the purple of the
plum ? Many years ago this error was
pointed out by an eminent botanist, who
showed that the gorgeous color of the au-
tumnal leaf came in the regular process of
ripening and, though botany is generally
studied in schools, the old notion comes back
with the beavers every year, showing that
error, in common with truth, especially when
supported by the vor popuH, will "rise again"
however deservedly crushed to EARTH
Leaves find their parallel in man, as al
ready observed, and, like the human species
they may ripen suddenly. If however. any
one chooses to make mystery of the inten-
sity of the autumnal colors, there should be
no great difficulty in explaining the uariety
Indeed, the apparent superiority over the
strength of color in the foliage on the Con
tinent of Europe may be attributed chiefly
to this variety. In Great Britain the climate
is evidently unfavorable to the production o.
bright forest-tones, but in parts of Germany
the brilliancy Of certain kinds of leaves il
quite equal to that of the corresponding
varieties in North America. At the SAINT
time the greens of Europe are quite differen
from those of our own land, where, begin
ming with burnt green in the South, w

reaching the true green of the greatest o

leled green of the Emerald Isle," whicl
bee ONES pale sea.green in Scotland,
whitish-green in the south of England an
in France-only to change to an ashen-gree
in Germany, and sombre olive in tn
Italian States.
But we were remarking upon the variet
of the autumnal tints in our own country
This is explained by the fact that, while i
Europe there are only forty trees that a
tain to height of thirty feet, in Mort
America there are no less than one hundre
and forty-hence our forests fash like tt

more especially to urge an increase of duties

Mr. Gazzam called up Senate bill No. 425,

further opposition and the bill passed.

Sweet baby eyes,
That look around with such grave surprise,
What do you see?
strange new world where simplest things
Engender wild imaginings
And fancles free ?
A resting place that is not home.
A paradise wherein to roam
For years may be7
All, placid, wandering baby eyes,
The mystery that in you lies
Oft puzzles me.
Clear, boyish eyes,
Whose fearless glance unconsciously def1es
Trouble and care;
when babyhocd is past and gone,
What is II that you gaze upon
A land most fair;
sunny shore with pleasure rife;
And that great, glorious gift OF life
'Tis bliss to share.

Let sages envy fools despise
The faith you wear.
The anxious eyes
OF manhood, slowly piercing earths disguise,
Discover--what
That life at best is quickly done,
That hopes fulfilled and wishes won
Are dearly got;
That shadows chased in headlong haste,
And golden fruit he strove to taste
Delight him not.
Oh, restless, doubling, troubled eyes,
To learn in sorrow to be wise
Is manhood's lot.
Dim, aged eyes,
Gazing across the wreck Of broken ties,
What do you see?
Behind-dead leaves that withered fall;
fading wilderness where oil
Is vanity;
Before-to gladden. weary sight,
A glimpse, a promise Of the bright
Eternity.
Oh, dim and fearful, aged eyes,
