The last glad brightness Of the fading year.

fold;
The glory of the purple, red and gold;
The tender gray, the glistening, silvery
sheen,
With lingering touch OF summers vivid
green;
The opal tints, the heralds OF the morn,
The glowing dyes that sunset skies adorn.
The willows, lustrous In some glanclng
beam,
Shake tangled tresses o'er the dimpling
stream
That, 10th to lose Its diadem, still pranks
With strings of emeralds It's sheltered banks,
Faint, huumd odors permcate the woods,
And musky vapors cling to dim solitudes,
Whose voiceful silence sweet enchantment
wears
In the soft rustic OF fast falling leaves;
The wistful murmurngs OF low voiced
winds,
And weird whispers Of complaining pines.
In fairy fleets with gossamer sails spread
wide,
The white winged seeds drift down the aerial
tide;
And paling sunbeams fold their tempered
rays
About the hilltops In golden haze.
Some softened radiance Of departed Juncs
Regretful fingers in Thy mellow moons
o fieeting bright October days;
o beautiful, o rare October days.

that Bismarck's persuasive representa-

Before leaving for Fricdrichsruhe
Bismarck received several of the leading
diplomatic representatives and ip con-

said, assured me that Russia would
not provoke war, and especially would
never begin war against Germany"

GOV. saUIRE's WAR RECORD.
Seattle Post.Intelllgencer.

lSeattle Post-lntelllgencer.
In considering the claims of Governor
Squire upon the senatorship, reference
is seldom made to his war record. Yet
he has a record which is unexcelled by
that of any man in Washington, and Of
which any American might we'll be
proud.
Watson q. Squire enlisted as a private
in New York infantry regiment on
May Z, 1861, less than two months after
the bombardment of Fort Sumter He
was soon after chosen by the members
of his company to act rs their captain,
but he modestly declined to accept that
rank and was accordingly commissioned
first lieutenant. He served with his
regiment about Washington and in
Maryland and Northern Virginia until
II was mustered out in October, 1861, be.
ing, during the greater portion of the
time, in command of his company, the
captain having returned to his home al
ter a few weeks service.
After he left the service Mr.. Sauire
went to Cleveland, where he studied law
under Rufus p. Ranney and was adj.
mitted to the bar, The war continuing,
however, he determined to 90 to the
front once more. He accordingly raised
a company of crack sharpshooters, which
was one OF tne ten detached companies
raised in Ohio at this time. These com
panies were attached to no regimcntnl or
brigade organization, and were during
almost the entire period of their service
commanded by Captain Squire as senior
captain.
Captain Squire and his sharpshootcrs
joined the army OF Rosecrans i'm
mediately after the battle of Stone river.
They took an active part in the Chatta-
nooga campaign, participating in several
sharp skirmishes and taking a most inn
portant part in the battle of Chieka-
mauga. After this battle Captain Squire
was ordered to Nashville and detailed to
act as judge advocate. He soon after
ward, however, rejoined his command
and served under Sherman until the fall
of Atlanta. He was then once more or
dered to Nashville and detailed for duty
as judge advocate of the department Of
Tennessee. He served In this capacity
until the close of the rebellion.
Governor Squire was promoted for
gallant service, first to the rank Of
major, then to that of lieutenant colonel,
aud retired from the service with the
brevet rank of colonel. His services
were surely such as any soldier of the
Union might look back upon with hon.
est pride.

THE CRUEL YELLOW RIVER,
Ten Million People Suffering From
It's Overflow.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ia dispatch
from Minister DENLY, under date Of
August 3, referring to the ravagcs of the
Yellow river in China, says the damage
caused by the latest break In its banks
lie irreparable, owing to deposits of silt
1t is estimated that fifty years must
elapse before the lands immediate will
be useful for agricultural purposes. A
peculiar feature OF the trouble Is that the
deposits in the bed of the river are so
constant In accretion that any system of
prevention for these breaks in the banks
caused by the rise of the river to be Of
fectiye would cost II most enormous sum
of money.
II seems likely that radical system
of prevention Of these breaks will never
be adopted and foods may be expected
each year. Hon Nan, one of the most
prosperous provinces, is ruined. An
Hui has suffered terribly and Nam
Shantung Is submerged. The sutferings
of 10000 900 of people have produced
great disaster, which the means of the
government are inadequate to provide
for. Foreigners have poured out money
literally in contributions to alleviate the
disaster.
