Another subject to which 1 desire to
call your attention is that of the proven
ton of forest fires. Almost every sum-
ner, large portions of our forests are de-
stroyed by fires carelessly and negligent
ly started by travellers or hunters, and
provisions should be made to prevent
this and to severely punish those who
carelessly set fire either to the forests or
to the grazing lands.

ViIIages and Hog-Pens.
If the editor Of LesIie'sI Weel

IF the editor of Leslie's Weekly
had lived in Point Pleasant
all summer he could not have
written an article more appro-
pirate for this section than the
following, under the above head,
in his paper last week:
at is really remarkable what a
part the hog-pen plays in the we'll
being and prosperity of the coun-
try. There are in the United
States thirty or forty thousand
villages of different sizes, and the
most of them have hog pons and
typhoid fever. The connection is
uniform and direct. The hog pen
supplies the cause, and the fever,
or some disease closely allied to it,
is the effect.
1t has taken along while to con-
vince even the most intelligent
settlements of the value of scienti-
fic sanitation, and in the large
cities it is constant fight to abate
nuisances and compel people to
observe ordinary laws of cleanli-
ness. But in the villages it is
much worse. The populations can
not see the necessity of the new
tangled notions, as they call them,
and any interference of board of
health is an outrage and an inn
pertinence. We know of villages
where the doctors have been labor
ing in vain for years to eliminate
the hog pen. Their efforts are
ridiculed, and the hog pens and
the fevers, which would never ex-.
list but for the nncleanliness, re-
main.
after while the people of
these small places will see the inn
portance of different policy.
When they realize that the exist
ence of hog pens in a community
will keep away all settlers whose
presence would be d.. il .ble, and
when they see their property de-
preciating in value because no one
wants to live in villages where no
attempt is made to prevent disease.
but everything is done to encour-
age it, they may find it to their adj
vantage to send the hogs to the
country, and then the health and
welfare of the whole nation will be
Improved"

A Tribute to Autumn.
BY HENRY FIELDING.

October, mellow, golden sunset of
the years departing glories! Too
soon sre your skies of gentle radiance
obseured, and:your breezes of delfc-
ious fragrance succeeded by the scowl-
ing clouds and fftful blasts of Novem-
berthe evening twilight of the ia
ding year. Nature has commenced
in earnest to disrobe her of her mag
nificent mantle of life and verdure;
the leaves. which but yesterday were
bright in all the variegated hues of
beauty-and the brighter that their
coIors were but the pencilings of
death, arraying his victims in SPLEEN
dor for their sad, inevitable destiny,
now withered, lffeless and fallen, but
cumber the walks they were wont to
ornament and overshade, or impede
the free flow of the rivulets that dane
ed so late in joyousness and in melody
beneath the screen of their umbrag-
eous covering The flowers which
smiled so gaily from every bank and
meadow are gathered to the mighty
receptacle of things that were-gone
not merely, but forgotten; and the
lonely blossom which now chances to
lift its shrinking head in some wind
sheltered valley, to meet the forbid
ding chances of the once genial planet.
wakes emotions of pity rather than
of gladness, in the heart of the pen
sive wanderer.
Yet am not one of those who find
sadness only in sentiment-who can
extract sorrow and moral only
from every change in natures aspect
who see alike in the cradle, the al
tar and the peering of the first silvery
tokens of age among the dark locks
of manhood, but steps in the great
journey to the tomb. No, my philos-
ophy is of less Respondent, and yet,
perchance, as deep cast In the
great chain of being would look be-
yond the single link that is present to
our senses, and see future Springs
still burstingIthe iron bands of Winter.
and coming forth in all the freshness
and beauty of youth-new worlds and
fairer, assuming the station of the
stars that have been quenehed in the
darkness of oblivion, and like them
awakeing triumphant from thel eaden
slumber of dark death. To the calm
observer, therefore, hold that there
may be ample room for pleasant CON
templation-none for dependency
in the change which has passed over
natures ever varying phenomena.
Autumn in the woodsl 1t is there
alone that nature appears in her own
majestic apparelling, undisguised and

Ss,rI,tx,

ceedings show that for the year
1894 there were 200 orders amount
ing to So, 422 40, of these 1o1 or
ders amounting to 81, 1909, have
been paid by the sheriff, leaving
141 orders amounting to 81. 491. so,
extant. This is exclusive of the
roads, where there was an excess
in the levy, amounting to S2,298.85,
and showing that there is So, 79o.25
extant of illegal orders for the year
1894.
The investigation on which to
base the proceedings is necessari-
1y, progressing very slowly, and as
each year is finished it will be given
to the public.

There are a number of people
who advocate the idea that the
government should own all the tel
egraph lines, railroads, etc., who
never think that SO soon as that is
accomplished that one of the po-
Iitical parties would own the gov
eminent. The fact is the govern
ment is now controlled by politics,
and politicians.-but neither party
is yet SO entrenched but that 1t can
be gotten out by a great effort on
the part of thepeople. But let the
government once own the public
works and one of the parties get
hold of the government and the
political grasp will be SO tight that
it cannot be loosed except with a
revolution.

OCTOBER 6, 1897.

When the working man who gets
dollar and a half day now for
his labor, the same as he got under
the Wilson bill, goes to the stores
and finds that he gets only II
pounds of sugar now for a dollar
instead or % then; that he gets 10
pounds less of -four for a dollar;
that the few nails and glass he
needs to patch up with to keep out
winter winds have gone up in
price: when he reads the advertise
ments in the newspapers and learns
that blankets and wool clothing and
shoes have increased in price, and
he finds that his dollar and a half
don't go around like it used to, he
is very apt to put on his thinking
cap, and wonder what prosperity
really is, and who itreally benefits.

bough to bough of the 1eafess nut
tree in pursuit of its still adhering
fruit; and buoyant is the step of the
hunter, as he glides stealthily over
the Ieafy carpeting of the wilds intent
on deeds of death. Thew hiring sweep
of the startled partridge bursts fitful-

splendors beneath the genial rays of
another spring.
But hence with these gloomy
thoughts. Is not the glow of kindly
firesides still brighter and more CRATE
full than heretofore? Are not the
evenings of autumn peculiarly the
season of social and heartfelt enjoy
ment? Is it not the season of frate
nal greeting, of festal gathering be-
meath the paternal roof; of glad re-
unions of kindred hearts, long sun
dered by the adverse currents of for
tune, and come almost to be looked
upon with the cold indifference of the
callous world2
A welcome, then. to the sober sea
son of deep, though quiet enjoyment,
of noiseless, yet una'loyed fruition.
Pensively. yet not sadly, float we
down the river of time through her
brief dominion, and look forward with
something of hope-but nothing of
impatience-to the return of brigh-
ter skies and a ballnier and more ex
hilaratfng atmosphere.
