THE AUTUMN TOUCH.

When country lsnes are bright with bloom
And gentle air comes stealing through
Laden with its sweet wild perfume,
OF golden rod-and honey dew,
And DER the summers radiant flush
Lies early dreamy hush.
When the grape vine chambers DER the tree
In lovely festOOns; then return
To watch and wait for thee.
As half in cheer and half in doubt, learn
To love the dear delightful haze,
Which fills the mind these autumn days,
The sweet old story of the year
Is springng onward to it's close.
Yet sounds as welcome TO the ear,
As in the time of blooming rose,
Forit at last does truly idicate
Thy coming, for which. will wait.
NJ. Elizabeth EllettOn.

Terrence McHugh, who runs a little coal

got himself into fix that will be hard
to get out Of Last July his wife, who
from all indications owns the "busi-
ness " called on Superintendent of Hacks
Norcross, and took out license for a
delivery wagon in her name. She later
went on visit To "A friend and was gone
a day or two, and while she was away,
her husband, Terrence ransacked tho
house, found the license, and at once
erased or caused to be erased, tho name
of Margaret McHugh, and substituted
thereon his own.
When Mrs. McHugh returned she found
the house somewhat tossed UP and be-
gan an investigation. She subsequently,
found the license, which she showed TO
Mr.. Norcross this morning, and made the
remark that she thought that "Terry'
was going to mortgage the team, and she
did not propose TO let him. She was
anxious To know whether or not she
could have him arrested, put as the case
was new she did not learn what could be
done in the matter
The license was issued to Mrs. McHuph
and not TO Mr.. McHugh; so Just what
crime he has committed, IL any, is not
known.

THREE RETIREMENTS.
Will Cause PomotIons to Rank OF
Rear Admiral.
Commodores Miller, ,sycl<ard and Math-
ews Have Passed Examinations.

Washington, March 16-A number of
important changes in the navy will occur
within the next few months in conse-
quence of the compulsory retirement OH
account of age of the three ranking Off

commandant at the Norfolk navy yard.
who retires in June; Rear Admiral j. G..
Walker, chairman of the lighthouse
board, who rutires on the s6th instant and
Roar Admiral Il. NJ. Ramsay, chief of the
bureau of navigation, who retires early
next month. The names are given in
tirements will result in the promotion to
the grade of rear admiral Of Commodore
Miller, commanding the navy yard at
Boston; Commodore Montgomery Syc-
kard, commanding the navy yard, New
York land Commodore Matthew'S chief
of the bureau of yards and docks.
The examination of these officers has
just been concluded and their names certi-
lied to the President for appointment to
the grade of rear admiral 1t is expected
that Captain w. ;. Scheley, now i'm COM
mand of the New York who has been
ordered TO this city for duty as a member
of the lighthouse board in place of Rear
Amiral Walker relieved, will succeed TO
the chairmanship Of the board vacated by
that officer, Notwithstanding he is junior
in rank TO General j. NJ. Wilson, corps of
Engineers u. > A, who is also a MEM
Der OF the board. While the latter might
be entitled TO the craftsmanship on ac-
count of his superior rank it is not likely
that he will be n candidate for the office
for the reason that his onerous duties at
the head of the engineering department
will not permit him to give it the atten-
ton demanded of the incumbent. AL
though there are three army and navy
officers on the board, the craftsmanship
has always been regarded as properly be-
longing 20 the navy.
There is considerably more uncertainty
concerning the prospective assignments TO
the vacancies at the head of the Norfolk
navy yard and the bureau of navigation,
but it is expected that the last Damed de-
tail will be announced in few days
