SEPTEMBER.

TIE golden rod 10 yellow,
The corn 10 turning brovni
The trees In apple orchards
with fruit are bsndiug down.
The gen,ian's blusst frinsss
Are curling In the sun
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges aaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And as,srs by the broohslde
Make astsrs In the brook
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all hutter
with yellow butterflies.
BY all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
with summers best Of weather
And autumn's best OF cheer.
But none OF all this beauty
which foods the earth aud air
Is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.
IT'S thing which remembers
To name Il thrills me yet;
One day OF one September
Inever can forget.

a Secretary In Trouble.

"A gentleman who had business with
the War department during the Pres-
dency Of General Jackson, called upon
The Secretary for the purpose Of trans
acting it. As he approached tho door
leading to the Sccretary's apartment,
tho messenger informed him that the
Secretary was engaged for tho mo-
ment, and begged him to take IL seat in
the ante-room The door was ajar,
and the visitor could not avoid hearing
the loud and angry tones of the great
functionary. lie was evidently ad-
dressing an officer of tho army, who
was delinquent in the matter of his
accounts. "You have been repeatedly
directed to bring your affairs to il
settlement" said he, "and you pay no
attention to the instruction, delaying
on one frivolous proteXt or another,
and Offering tho most prepOsterouS
excuses, until the thing has become
intolcrable. IL this goes on much Ion
ger | shall order your arrest, and try
you by court-martial. The War Dc
partmcnt cannot be trilcd with.
The offending officer was u French
man, whose broken English and ex-
traordinary phraseology were most
mirth-pr0voking. Ilo presently bowed
himself out into the hall, the very
impersonation Of composllre and self
colnplacency. The gentleman who was
waiting for an audience inquired what
was tho matter. "Nossing wiz me-"
was the reply with Il grimace and q
shrllg of tho shoulders. "But 70 Minis
ter OF 70 War IS in trubble."

Flowers.

The amount Of money invested in
and spent for flowers in London is
something marvellous. Fashion loves
flowers, or pretends to, and is willing
to pay for them. One florist says
1.-The best business comes from the
wealthy, who give orders to furnish
flowers and decorations for such an
evening at such a price, and do not
concern themselves with details. The
flowers fora dinner party of fifty covers
can easily be made to cost from E1OO to
GOO, and have had one dinner last
winter for which my bill was se3OO.
That, OF course, included the decoration
OF the dining-room after special designs,
which were first prepared in color,
showing the masses of foliage, the
palms, and tho beds of flowers in differ
ent parts Of the room. When you con-
slider that hybrid roses, Of which there
are seven different varieties, cost 2s.
I'D. apiece, ana that a hundred OF them
can be crowded into vase on a manteI-
piece, you see how the money goes.
Marechal Mel and Jacqueminot roses
are worth now Is. each, but there is
little foliage with them, whereas a hy.
brid rose with It's stem and leaves is
quite bouquet in itself. Besides deco
rating the supper-table and rooms for
balls we frequently have to make up fa-
vors for wedding, and these are often
made TO cost from 2s. to IS. apiece. The
intention is generally to combine in u
favor few beautiful flowers, and
something that will remain as Il me-
mento OF tho occasion; 50 the holder is
of silver or porcelain, or q basket of
value is used. A few nights ago the
baskets were Leghorn hats, which will
doubtless be trimmed and worn this
summer -

CHILL AND PERU.
TREATY OF PEACE FINALLY CONCLUDED
BETWEEN THE TWO POWERS.

TREATY OF PEACE FINALLY CONCLUDED
BETWEEN THE TWO POWERS.
WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Senor Godoy,
Chilian minister, has adVices from his gov
eminent, via the Mexican Legation at Paris,
announcing the ratification OF a treaty Of
peace between Chilli and Peru. His adTices
state that Gen. Iglesiss, who signed the treaty
on behalf of Peru, is acknowledged in the
whole Of Northern and Central Peru. The
terms of the treaty icclude the cession 10
Chilli Tor ten years Of the provinces of
Tarapsca and AFRICA, together with the
city Of Tacns. Provision is made that
on the expiration OF that term, the question
10 whom the ceded territory shall thereafter
belong, shall be submitted TO popular vote
OF the people of the territory, the country
10 whom The territory goes TO pay The other
SlOOOO,OOO before acquiring posses
sion. Senor Godoy says that Northern
and Central Peru, which has acknowledged
lglesiss, Constitute about 6ve-sixths of the
whole territory Of Peru, and include the cap
ltal, Lima, and the principal seaport, Calao.
he says, also, that the treaty provides for the
occupation by Chilli OF the ceded territory
during the ten years covered by the terms of
cession, and in all probability the Cnilian
army Of occupation, now in Lima, will rem ain
there until the Peruvian government is fully
organized and order entirely restored. Senior
Gedoy states that the terms of the treaty
were arranged by the Gillian plenipotenliary
and Gen. Iglesiss's representative at Lima,
and forwarded to Gen. Iglesias in Northern
Peru. Having been signed by him, the treaty
wac returned TO Lima, and from there sent 10
Santiago de Chill, where II Was ratified BY
the ChIlfan government, who on the oath
instant promulgated it.

ACCIDENT AT STANTON.
The Engineer, Alex Smith, Has His
Arm Broken and One Of His Eyes
Fut OUT.

An accident occurred at Stsntoa depot,
on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, at
about o'clock this morning by which Alex
Smith, the engineer OF No. l, was badly in
jured, having his arm fractured in two
places, his eye probably put out, and sus-
tanning other contusions on numerous parts
of his body. 1t ia also feared
he is injured internally. He wss
brought back 10 the city on his train,
which was delayed until o'clock in the
evening, and taken 10 his home in the north
eastern portion of the city. He was reported
to be dangerously i'll and splitting blood yes
terday evening. Pat Dwyer, the fireman,
narrowly escaped. He sustained no further
injury than slight bruise on his hand. The
accident was caused by negligence on the
part of some OF the employees, who
failed 10 see that the track was
clear when the outgoing freight lef
Stanton. 1t seems that this train switched
atStanton, and when ii moved away disturbed
box car which stood with loose brakes on the
track, and caused it to run down the switch to
the frog. One end OF the box rested partly
on the main track when No. l came thunder
ing along struck it and bounced of across q
ditch, turning half around, and taking with
it the tender and caboose.
