The time is eomi iif; when the green of the lenf, beautiful, cheering and restful to the eye, will give way to the dazzling, variegated brilliancy of the fall, when the frost king will move about in the stillness of the night, and deftly lay his colors on the lumlscape, until each mountain side shall le hung with curtains more gor geous than the famous (Jolx-lin tapestry and each valley spread with carets gayer and richer than the looms of Tur key or of Persia can produce. The nim ble fingers of the chilly painter shall so slowly and silently wield his brush that its progress cannot lie noted ; yet it grows, and each morning unfolds a brighter or a deecr glow, a richer or more splendid blending or contrast ol colors, until, some keen frosty morning, the canvass receives its finishing touches, and the landscajie stands revealed in a gorgeousncss the eye can scarcely com prehend as earthly, and tongue and pen alike want word or thought to even faintly delineate. Nature has crowned her work of the vear. With the resurrec tion of the spring she clothed the new bom season with the tender living green. and decked it with the lieauties of the flowers, and gave the added wealth ol rich anil luscious fruits, and made the summer, the grown maternal summer, the vigorous sister of the spring. Then came the chilling autumn and approaching death of the seasons of life and growth and over the fading and the living forms nature throws her gorgeous mantle as token that death is not to lie enrobed with gloom, that its features shall not be all repulsive, and that the change in fact is splendid transition from one form of lieing to another. The autumn dying splendors are onlv prelude to the rest ol nature in the grave of winter, to wake again at the glad voice ot spring, clad in new raiment, renewed and recreated. The changes in the autumn leal going on liefore the eye we rather wish to ascrilw to some subtle, mysterious and kindly work of nature, in sportive or in serious mood to show the scope and di versity of her powers, or illustrate an other phase of creative wisdom and ol power. Hut science comes in to give its cold and heartless explanation. It is but the ieration of blind inflexible chemical law. Chemistry is a wonderful necro mancer, but it is also a remorseless dis enchanter; and its analysis informs our reason that the process of the change in color is only oledience to certain very simple laws. It is this: The green mat ter in the leaf is composed of two colors, I red anil blur. When the sap ceases to flow, oxidization ot' the tissues takes place, and under dillercnt conditions, the green ch.'inges to red. or yellow, or pur ple, or brown, the changes influenced by tcmerature, drought or moisture, or soil. This is scientifically simple, and the henutiful phenomenon, in the eye ot science, stands stripH.'d of all its won ders. Vet, in fact, it stands a wonder still; tor lchind the cold exactness ol scientific analysis, remains the fact that it is the work of the (irent First Cause, who designed all these subtle agencies to do His will. Man may analyze the agencies. He can no farther, nor can he set aside the fact that all comes out of deep design, in which profoundest wis dom is blended with benevolent consider ation that man may find his present home a place of cheer and pleasure, and through its beauties catch a glimpse of the tar surpassing splendors of his future dwelling. And so we will continue to look on autumn glories, not through the eyes of science, but through those of heartfelt pleasure and of hopeful faith. INTERNATIONAL CONURKSS, To meet next month in Washington City, has some features of unusual inter est attached to it, apart from the mate rial objects which call it together. The States to be represented are those which were once under foreign dominion, which, like the I'uited States, threw off the do minion of the mother countries, and which also, like the Tinted States, adopted Republican forms of govern ment, with one exception. That excep tion was Brazil. That country had lieen a Portuguese colony, and when the Bra ganza family was expelled from Portu gal, it found a refuge in Brazil, setting up the royal standard there. Eventually, and very quietly, Brazil was detached from Portugal, and became an empire in its own right with a recognized heredi tary dynasty, and making steady and creditable progress as one of the great powers ot the South American Continent. The other States of South America, and also Central America and Mexizo, were under Spanish rule. In each one revolu tion was resorted to, and independence achieved after long and arduous strug gle. The people of the United States naturally took great interest in a con flict which had so many features in com njon with their own revolutionary expe rience, and in fact rendered great mate rial aid in men and munitions of war. 1 he government was bound to neutral ity. It contented itself with very prompt recognition of the new governments whose independence was achieved. Those governments were modeled after that of the United States, bnt can hardly be con sidered as happy adaptations to condi tions so different, and to people with so little training in the principles and prac tices of self-government. Amid the revo- f lutions and chronic wars which have af flicted each one of these republics from their birth down almost to the present day. the United States has had little reason to felicitate itself upon the adop tion of its system by those who applied it so awkwardly. In fact republicanism was brought into disrepute with the world, and with the advocates of mon archy disbelievers in man's ability to govern himself, only redeemed by the solitary successful example given by the United States. (If late years things in those republics have lieen going on more smoothly They seemed to have become tired of in ternal fighting. Larger intercourse with other nations has impressed upon them the good policy ofieaccaml stable gov ernment ; for these things promote com mere, and commerce brings wealth; anil the Spanish race loves money with the intensity that iniiclled Pizarroand Cor- tez and their followers to the conquest ol those verv countries now occupied by their republican descendants or successors. The feeling of these republics towards the United Slates is very friendly, with the exception iierliaps of Chili, which sometimes erects her bristles under the impression that she finds in the United States a very ambitious rival. We hopi even to smoothe down the back of Chili. ind coax out a friendly purr when all the American States of both continents shall meet together in Washington City to discuss anil arrange family matters, ll is a family affair; for iKtween us all and Euroic, there rolls the vast ocean, and Euroie is at all tunes on the verge ot uni versal war. To us on this side remains lieaee. We have interests enough, nia lenal enough and territory enough to constitute a world of our own; anil while the nations are cutting each others throats, we Americans, North ami South. ,:an mutuully strengthen each other, anil row rich and powerful in mutual Iriend ship and commerce, while dcsol.-ition shall lay its blight upon the other side ot the water. "There is said to he a strong movement in Arkansas to secure the passage ol an Act requiring tile railroads to provide separate coaches lor colored passengers. The colored passengers wil! probably not object if the separate coaches arc as coni ibrlableas the coachcsirovi(lcii forwliitc passengers. It is mamtestlv untair and dishonest, however, tor the railroads to make a colored passenger ny first class tare lor second class accommodations. After the colored passengers have been provided with separate coaches, it is to ie hoped that the railroads will be re piired to provide separate coaches lot white passengers who persist in drinking whiskey out ol the cup provided lor all the passengers, and in deluging the floor ot the ear with the contents of their to-liaceo-ladcn months." Wc clip the above from the Charleston News and Courier with approval of the idea. In railroad excrieiicc in this State and elsew here in the South wc believe, with the exception of (Veorgia where they use whiit are derisively styled "Jim Crow ears," there is a manifest inconsistency in the otVensive practice of opening first class coaches to all coiners and to all passengers- who have paid first class fair in contrast with the resistance made to practical social equality elsewhere. In the theatres. the hotels, the churches and other public places. there is rigid distinction of races and colors. Only in the passenger cars lo we find white and black sandwiched together. There only is money the ocu sesame to perfect social equality, (liter times no unpleasantness results; often times it does, lor the ability to pay first class fare does not imply the ability to buy good manners or quiet deportment in conveyances designed and provided to secure the self resieet of the cultivated and the refined. Hut those who might Ik- offensive, lie cause insli nmcuts to this glaring incon sistency, are entitled to the worth of their money. It they pay first class fare they arc entitled to the first classcoacbcs. To exclude them from these, to thrust them into smoking cars, or into shabby "Jim Crows" is a breach of contract, a viola tion of good faith, needless etlront and good cause of the complaint so often made, and so aptly applied as a political weapon. In this State there isno ground of such complaint. Wc arc all liable to lie mixed up hodge podge as we travel. It is not pleasant, it is not consistent. Rut if the evil lie remedied, no not sacri fice justice. Let the colored traveler have his accommodation cd to the class of his ticket.
