IN AUTUMN DAYS.

Do you think of the long ago, sweetheart As we stand by the old brooks side, And, russet and brown, the leaves float dow To drift away with the tide? Do you think of the days gone by,
 When we sat by this dimpled stream Dreaming for hours mid it's gay wild flowers As only youth can dream7 The haws are ripe on the fading boughs Where the thrushes used to sing, When the sky was blue and the blossom new : In the fresh and joyful spring. And dared to plead my love
 Till your lips sweet answer gave, While, rich and bright, the Quivering lights Lay on the silver wave. You say we are older now-and wise: And the time of dreams is OCT, For our children play on the sunny way Where we kept our tryst before. So you pluck the crimson haws,
 Which are stirred by no brown wing, And give sigh to the days gone by,
 And the vanished bloom of spring. But look up into my face, sweetheart You have been my wife for years; We have had our share of toil and care, And wopt together some tears. Yet our hearts have aye been bound
 h bond so truly blest, That l cannot tell q love so welD
 If autumn or spring Is best

PARKHURST HITS BACK
Scathing Reply to Superintend-
 ent Byrnes' Arraignment.
FIGHT WATCHED WITH INTEREST.

The Issue Is Joined, Says tho Presby- terian Divine - He Makes a General
 Denial of Byrnes' Charges, Calling Them
 an Exhibition of "CoIossal Impudence."
 NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-The fight between
 Supt. Byrnes and Dr. Parkhurst is being bitterly continued. The president of the Society for the Prevention of Crime gives out a long statement in which the Police Department and it's chief executive are more severely arraigned than before. This is in reply to Supt. Byrnes' charge that divorce suit was the animus of the minister's bitterness and of the activity of his society.
 The war between these two men natur- ally arouses intense interest among all classes of people in New York. It is the topic most discussed on the streets and about the hotels, to the exclusion even of Jay Gould's will Those who know the two men personally confidently say that the fight will be to finish
 In his statement Dr. Parkhurst charac- terizes the superintendent's statement as
 ''an attempt on his part to extricate him self from an awkward position by trying to put me in another awkward position of similar character. He is trying to btacken me as means of whitewashing himself and his department
 He adds: ''Now, for the sake of argu- ment l am going for the instant to plead guilty to his entire indictment. I am go- ing to assume that my motives have been vlllainous from the start. How does that help MT. Byrnes? Does that fact close up any of the gambling houses that he is al lowing to run? Does it suppress any of the vile dens of infamy in this city, which exist because MT, Byrnes and his depart ment are viciously neglectful of their duty?'
 Dr. Parkhurst takes occasion to deny that the divorce case mentioned by Byrnes has anything to do with the attack on the Police Department. He says that he never knew that a policeman was mixed up in it, anyway. In reply to the allega- tion of insincerity, he says:
 ''Mr. Byrnes knows that I am sincere
 and if he stands ill any attitude of enmity toward me that is the reason of it
 He says of Byrnes' statement, that he ''continues to make accusations without evidence" " and that "the colossal impu- dence of that statement is we'll nigh paral~ yzing."
 Then he addresses MT. Byrnes directly, calling his attention to Section 2S2 of the Consolidation Act, and claiming that for the last ten months he and his society y have been ''piling up before the commun- ity'' the proof of the persistent neglect of the department to discharge it's duties. Superintendent Byrnes read the reply this morning, but stated that he had nothing to say at present.

SUING FOR DIVORCE.
Mrs. Albion R. Berry, of Woodbridge, Says Her Husband Treated Her Cruelty.

Mrs. Albion R. Berry, of Woodbridge, Says
 Her Husband Treated Her Cruelty.
 WOODBRIDGE, N. J., Dec. 8.-Papers have been filed for a divorce by Annie M. Berry from her husband, Albion R. Berry, prominent real estate dealer of this place and one of the wealthy residents.
 The case will create a profound sensa tion in this city, as the parties to the sui. are very widely known and MT. Berry is the son of one of the wealthiest brick burners in the country.
 The grounds for the divorce are extreme cruelty. In the bill of complaint Mrs. Berry alleges that she had only been mar ried to her present husband few months when he began to ill-treat her. During last August he frequently threatened to kill her, and on one occasion he choked her until she was nearly dead, leaving deep scars on her neck.
 About the same date he threw a carving knife at her while they were seated at the table and the sharp blade stuck in he1 hand inticting a painful wound. Other instances of cruelty are alleged.
 On election night Mrs. Berry was away from home and her husband called at the house and took away her two children, Margaret, aged f, and Leon, aged years.

THE COLORADO SNOW FLEA
It Is Very Small Insect That Causes the
 So-Called ''Red Snow.r

So-Called "Red Snow."
 The observing Colorado miner can- not furnish you scientific names, yet he will tell you at once that red snow is caused by the snow flea. The snow flea is very small. It would require about fifty of them to equal their larger brother of the east in size.
 A person walking upright might think the snow covered by a very fine dust, but if your eyes are good, and you place your face within eighteen or twenty inches of the snow, you can easily discern the snow flea. Although so small as to be almost imperceptible to the naked eye, yet they are most ac- tive, jumping from twelve to fifteen inches.
 To the naked eye they appear to be dark brown in color, but under a good microscope they would be found to be a reddish brown. During cold weather they stay under the bark of trees, but when it is a nice, warm day, and the sun shines brightly, you can find them on the southern and eastern slopes of the mountains, where they can get the direct rays of the sun.
 During the day they will ascend the mountains, sometimes far above the tim Der line. When the sun disappears and it gets cold, the snow flea freezes to death. During the winter great mum bers will be thus frozen, and their dead bodies color the snow.
 Foot trails upon the south and east sides of the mountains will, if it be 6 hard winter. be colored, for when the snow flea strikes a deep trail through -4 them never get out, but perish from the cold during the night. Besides, 6 man with a good-sized foot might l1il from one thousand to ten thousand O. them every step.
 The snow flea favors the south ant east sides of the mountains, and it il there you will find the red snow. The non-observing will say there is no sucf thing as snow heas, because they have never seen them, but you can easily prove to them, if you will look upon thu right kind of a day, that they do exist in countless numbers.

Sciences supsrsedins Classics.

Prof. Virchow, who has just assumed the rectorship of the Berlin university, evidently believes in scientific rather than classical studies for young men. In recent address he said: ''Gram- matic schooling is 10 longer the aid to progressive development necessary to our youth, or which generates the love of learning that is the first condition to independent development; there are now other fields of learning whose methods are so far carried ,,ut tha they are perfectly able to fulfill what is. necessary; there are mathematics, philosophy and the natural sciences; they afford the young mind such g secure foundation that it can easily make itself at home in any faculty On the development of these three sciences rests the whole of our western culture, a culture which ripened a Christopher Columbus. to whose genius and energy allow me to pay a deserved tribute. The university is not merely an institution for acquiring knowledge, but also one for examination and ex- ploration. "- Y. Tribune.

Death of Ella Newton.
 NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Two colored men giving their names as Joseph Tyser and Walter Langdon, were arrested at New Rochelle late last night by direction of Coroner Drew, charged with being impli- cated in the death of Miss Ella Newton, the 19-year-old girl whose body, weighted with stones was found in East Chester creek, near Mount Vernon, Monday after noon.
 The men were taken to jail at Mount Vernon.
 Coroner Drew is positive that he has evidence enough to convict the men and says that the evidence which will be brought out at the inquest, will more than warrant their detention without bail to await the action of the grand jury.

LONG VIGIL AT A GRAVE.
A Chlnaman's Vow to Watch His Moth.
 CTS Tomb for Three Years.

er's Tomb for Three Years.
 A correspondent of Shanghai jour- nal, writing from Kiukiang, on the \ 1angtse, mentions that he has seen a sight which is not often seen even in China. This is a man who has taken a VOW to watch three years at his moth CTS grave. The lady died at the end of last year and was buried, as usual, on the side of a neighboring hill in the family burying place. When the re- mains had been consigned to the earth the son declared that he would not leave the grave for three years, and so lar he has been true to his word. The nelghbors took upon themselves to pro- vide for his wants and a subscription list was started, ten piculs lone hun fred and thirty-three pounds each) of rice being contributed by his relations and those who knew him. Families take turns in preparing his food and bringing it to him. Others brought straw and poles and made rude hut for him large enough to contain him. self and the grave of his mother. The writer saw him when he had already been at his self-appointed task nearly seven months. and says he will not soon forget the sight and smell Around the hut there were three we'll kept graves, those of his father, broth CT, and wife, and inside, that of his mother.
 During the three years of his vigil he does not wash himself, the straw upon which he lies is not removed, he does not change his clothes until the time has expired, he does not come out of tha 1itf1n Y,1ooa for -loA he speaks to none, except, perhaps, occasionally, and then only briefly, to his nearest relatives. He spends the incense at the head of the tomb, along the length of which he is stretched The hut is not high enough to allow him to stand upright and is only few feet longer than himself. "One can faintly imagine the foulness of such a den and the condition of an unshorn human being after such an existence; what he will be like at the end of the summer I can not conceive. Itdoes not seem possible that man should be able to live through three years of such horrors-none but Chinaman could do it.'' If he survives the three years he will be highly honored, the of icials will go in state and receive him and report the matter to the throne, and he will receive from the emperor's hand board containing four charac- ters iauding his virtue. He may also receive some small official preferment and will thus be provided for The natives say that although he is alone on the hillside among the graves, no ghosts or devils will interfere with him and poisonous snakes will not come near him. Some of the people were not quite sure what his motives were; some said, significantly, that he knew what he was doing-there was not very much to do, and at the end of three years lying at the grave, being fed by his friends, he would likely enough find a comfortable support for the rest of his natural lfe.-London Times.

Connoisseurs in Perfumes.

The learned in scents claim that they can
distinguish and name each element OF any
compound odOr, just as the musician can
discriminate and trace the sound Of the
various Instruments that are rendering
the crowded symphony. Doubtless these
leasaed ones could distinguish, ON coming
int lady's drawing room, all the various
bsesths imprisoned in the pot pourTi jar
the rose leaves, the cassia buds, the orange
flowers, the orris root, the vanilla, the ben
zoni and cinnamon and musk and alcohol,
and all the innumerable rest. But to the
ignorant in such fine points the pleasure is
perhaps just rs keen, let the learned deny
it as they may. Yet many think them
selves accomplished in this branch whose
education is still very far from finished.
We remember, AT the time Of a famous
oriental exhibition in this country, when
people were possessed with the delights of
the altar Of roses TO be brought there, that
the oriental stock Of altar ran out, and it
was replenished from Yankee dealers
stock of oil Of geranium, and the sale con
tinued just as before, entirely undimin-
ished., and with warm adulation Of the
strange, rich sweetness Of the real Turkish
and Persian altar of roses. And although
the oil of geranium is undoubtedly rich
perfume. yet the crafty orientals must
have laughed in their loose sleeves at the
way in which it took the place Of the once
far richer and more delicate, and four times
more costly object Of the bulbul's worship.
