In 1850 he sold the farm, which was his

THE TNKISSABLE.

An astonishing story comes over the wires
from Iowa one of Iobsons llcutcnahts mas re-
fused 70 be IIobsonZed and has reversed 'h'
ccntury-od tradition of the gallantry OF the
American Navy. Ever since the iirst niue ihiu'

has had firm hold on feminine affections ana
has never failed manfully to stand by IT'S guns
in all engagements with the fair. But Inc rec
ord Is broken The ensign is half masted. 1he
Navy hos scored its first failure to respond 10
what was expected from it by the daughters OF
Columbia And this defeat and disgrace came
upon 1t in Iowa.
Az everybody knows. while I1ObsOn was sun

domltabe and unstopable raiser Of ships he
met a ST. Louis girl and she kissed him. lie no
more ouailed before this than before spanish
shells. and his bravery was such that in tie
o,.cs of some people. and maybe OF the young
woman herself, it also gave her sort of halo
of potriotIsm; whereas If he had been less gal
liant everybody would have laughed at her for
holiness and lmpudence. Thus did Hobson
raise an American girl from dangerous situa-
izc that there was whole fleet waiting to he

and fact. II IL widely imagined that we owe
the rich colors of the autumn woods to the
first sharp frosts" hut II Is not at all, as was
plainly shown this fall, when all the richest col
oring came and blazed and faded before the
leaves were so much as touched with frost. On
the other hand, 1.-The long autumnal rain not
merely freshens the grass but powerfully con-
duces TO the coloring of the leaves. In brief
the finest autumnal cooring is seen when the
leaves have been kept in full luxurance or
growth until October, and have then been per
mtted TO undergo their changes naturally with
out the Fastening processes Of the frosts and
storms.
This year. then, these conditions prevailed in
more than ordinary fulness, with the results
which for weeks past have excited the admira-
ton Of every bcholder. But they have pre-
vailed perfectly only in the open country, re-
moved from the smoke and gases which pollute
the air OF the cities, even Of New-York. In
streets and parks you may see the yellow hues,
and after them the brown, though these are not
as rich and lustrous as elsewhere. For the
splendid scarlets and crimsons you must look
where natures laboratory is not encountered
