THE ARKANsAw AUTUMN.

Autumn in Arkansaw is the time when nature draws long breath of relief and sits down 10 rest. Winter is blussery and wet; spring is lazy and bilious summer is sultry and depressing-but fall is . time of beautiful ripeness-a cluster of sweet grapes-a sip of inspiring wine. In the long crab grass, matted in its density, the cricket sings in ceaseless minstrelsy, and on the tall rag-weed, the katydid sits and bathes herself in a golden sunbeam. The chauerjack has hushed his grating notes. The bracing air has ssifiened his joints and the cool dews have rus,eG the rat-tail file which he carries under his collar. The crippled old negro, who during the days of in- tense heat sat on a beach in the shade, now comes out with his sack and enters with spirit into the harvest of rags. The cotton fields throb with a new life. The boil worm has gone down deep be- meath the clod, and the old mule whose precipitation hissed on the burning sand, now eats the wire grass under the cotton wood tree. Men, women and children, move slowly along the ~hi,e-tipped rows. The loud haw, haw, and the weird song float in the air. The negro preacher, with his traditional umbrella, stops at the fence, and in that tone of mildness which all colored gentlemen engaged in sacred work must assume, he talks of the ap- preaching "'tracted meetin'," and ex- presses q fond hope that much good work may be Accomplished. Much work, of some kind, whether or not it be good, will be accomplished, for the negro revival" is always we'll attended. knock-kneed Ben who stole a shoat and served short term in the penitentiary, takes his accustomed place of exhorter, and his ringing words of warning draw many young negro to the altar"
 In town, the once quiet streets are alive with industry. The roar of cotton wagons. the loud popping of whips, the hurry of merchants and the farmers that crowd each other off the sidewalk-all form scene to be remembezed-a scene which in comparison with the indolent quietude of few weeks before, is like day of resurrection when the dead arise and resume the cares and business of life.

best thing under the circumstances for brothers to dwell together in unity. The meeting was great success and poor Stewart was ove1oyed, quite as much, think, as though all the good had been accomplished by himself alone. Stewart is an unselfsh man. Why he would share the measles with sinner Nov, my boy, you sec what fighting did. All the persuasive eloquence of Webster would have failed. The occasion de- manded that kind of oratoyy frequently indulged in by Jackson. Stewart is un- successful even unto this day.
 @One day after had grown old enough, if not wise enough to preach, my uncle and attended a barbecue. A large crowd was in attendance and the spirit of bullyism ran high. There vas one large fellow, Boly Talbes, who vas aching to whip somebody. He was thought to be the best man physically in the community and the people were afraid of him. Afier while, Boly hop ped up on barrel, Tapped h.s arms and crew like a rooster.
 "'l can't stand that said my uncle to me. T don't care how much a man blows. but when he begins to crow over me, why l can't stand IT,
 "'it was not intended for you, uncle.' replied.
 Yes 1t is. It IS intended for every- body and am somebody, let me tell you
 The next moment he had kicked the barrel from under Boly, had knocked him down and vas beating him unmerci- fully. Yes, my uncle was a strange man but he was the most persuasive preacher in the country"

THE new English grammar by Prof. John Carroll, of Arkansaw, is attaining that success to which its merits justly en- title it. Many of the most prominen, scholars of the day, afser carefully ex. amining the book, pronounce it un- occasionally one of the mos, compre- hensive treatises of the English language thaa has ever been published. To simplify the study of language, or any other great branch of knowledge, is a work deserving the highest praise. Ina, Prpf. Carroll has simpli6ed to a grea, ex- tent the study of English, there is no, a doubt.

THE Philadelphia Rsesvd publishes an editorial in defense of the Mother Hub bard, wisely remarking that |" the very critics who attack the crinoline, and the panniez, the corset and the hish-heeled boot, and who denounce the s.upendous folly of women in suspendins skirts from their waists, assail with 10 less vehemence the dress reSormers irom Lady Stone to Lady Haseezse., and pour contempt up- on Bioomer Caslums. the cheneloon and the divided ski1s."

PRoFusE DIRECTIONS.

When a man has missed his way, and is wandering around in perplexing search of the right road, nothing is more annoy ing than for some one to give him direc. tions which he cannot understand. It is a difficult matter for any man, no maaes how well informed, to give directions in a satisfactory manner. A gentleman while en route to Morey's mill. belo~ Little Rock, missed the right road. Af.er wandering over large extent of territory, he met an old negro.
 "Uncle, can you show me the road to Morey's mill ?"
 "Wan's ter go dar, reckins! :.

Coast and GeoIogicaI Snrveys.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-The joint com
mission appointed shortly before the adjourn
ment of congress to inquire into the organ
ization and work of the coast and geological
surveys, signal service and hydrograDhie
Office, will probably meet in this city Novem-
Der IL. During the recess the members Of
the commission have been collecting the
opinions of scientific gentlemen and the
heads of various bureaus interested on the
subject under consideration. The national
academy of science was asked to consider
the subject, and requested to furnish re-
port to the commission upon its reasseM b.
ing in November. That body referred the
matter to a committee, of which General
Meigs was chairman. The committee has
completed its report, but will not make it
public until it has been given to tue COM
mission. 1t is understood the report recon-
mends a radical change. \ number of
members of the academy have given rec
expression of their opinion on the work nd
organization of bureaus. They favor the
establishment Of a new government depl +
ment, to embrace all bureaus of SCENT: C
nature. This would include the signal sell
vice, photographic Office, coast and geOlos-
zeal surveys, lighthouse board, naval obser-
vatory and army engineers work in the
