Throwing off her vail of mist For a crown of amethyst— Blushing soft as she discloses Summer's last and lingering roses. Like a spray of corals rare Plumed within her shining hair. Ah! the dreamy days remember Of our opaline November! Gauzy vapors float around her. Little moats of gold surround her, Violet clouds lie soft above her. Moonbeams clasp her like a lover! Touching with transparent lingers Every spot where fragrance lingeri. ttho doth cast upon the air Essences and odors rare. VTild bloom swoon In sndden heat w here she pranks her dainty feet. And the trailing autumn grasses Bend in homage ns she passes; Gladness, as of childhood’s laughter, An. the wooing zephyrs waft her; Shining in her mystic splendor— halting, rosy, soft and tender— -9“ ST o®* 0 the radiant comer, Amber-belted Indian summer! art: Tbe Coutrtbmlouß to tbe Chicago Relief Fund. Prom the Kew York ilaU, Kov. il The artists of onr city—always open-heart ed as becomes their noble calling—have clone ihemselves great honor in contributing a* they have done to the collection of paintings and. other works of art nowon exhibition in Clinton Hall, and to be sold there by auction oj the evening of Thursday, for the benefit of the artists of Chicago, left homeless and penniless by the late disaster. Not only h this the largest collection of works of mi everbrought together for such an object, but it is the best. It presents a higher average of merit than, as a rule, do the Academy ex hibition, for each contributor has done his utmost. And it is ever so many degrees bet ter than the best Artists’ Fund Collection we have seen. The collection, in all, numbers about a hundred aud thirty paintings in oil, ten in water colors, several busts in plaster of emi nent persons, a number of cbrmno-litho graphs, aud a large portfolio of engravings, many of them good specimens of the early masters in the art. If our picture-buyers will only come to the sale on Thursday evening, mid bid fairly. the collection will realize at least $0,000; if* they uid sonorously for au auction room, still bidding less than studio prices, it will realize $2,000 more. If, remembering that the ar tiste have given all they see on exhibition here, buyers will only bid up to the value of the contributions, not beyond, they are not asked to do that, then it shall be our pleas ant duty to announce the good nows that SIO,OOO have been placed to the credit of the homeless artiste of Chicago, an 1 that, the affair has proved as worthy of our well-to do art lovers as it is already of our artiste. On Saturday evening, when wc called, the hanging of the pictures was not yet quite completed, yet the general effect was highly gratifying. Some ten or twelve empty frames showed that there were as “fny, artiste yet to hear from, who had promised contributions. Among the missing ones wore those of artiste wlmse names always lend character to au ex hibition—Messrs. Church, Kensett, Hunting ton, Gray, Gifford, and several others. There was rumor that two or throe of these, in tended to make donations in money, rather than in “bits of themselves.” Wc trust to be able to contradict this before auction day. The picture offering is by far the most wor thy of the artist. Not the least attractive picture of tho col lection is that of J. G. Brown, which is at the some time most pleasing in color and charming in its story. It is of a delightful little 4-year-old, who has gathered herself into her papa’s easy chair that she may have a good time with her dolly, which, we pre sume to be a new arrival. Albert Bierstadt contributes quite au im portant picture—“An Early Mprniug in the Wilderness.”—very luminous. Asher B. Durand, the oldest living Ameri can landscape painter, has responded to the cry of his brothers for help from his home at the foot of “The Great Mountain, Watch ing.” Ho contributes a characteristic land scape. W. H. Beard’s contribution will rank among his best pictures. It gives us a party of strolling players who have just topped tho hill, which brings them in sight of the nearest village. It is miserable weather raining cats and dogs. The road is moist— very; aky tearful to overflowing. It is a melancholy scene. But slushy as tho road is, aud drear tho prospect, the party of strollers are drearier still. That poor fellow, who is followed by the bear, is misery personified. His bauds are deep down iu his breeches’ pockets, his shoulders bent; be is soaked to overflowing at his slipshod heels; 1 his very hat appeals for pity; it has lost all sense of dignity; it wants to fall off aud be kicked aud have done with it. To the right of him is -another stroller—the musician, laden with the instruments of torture, con spicuous among them the key bugle. He clearly inherits the clothes of his predeces sor in office, a much larger man; such, we fancy, is the moral of their overcoat and hat, which. between them, bides all that there is beneath of the being which they compass. The woman of the party is seen some dis tance ahead, going down hill, sharing the space on a donkey’s back with the balance of the personal property of the company. Behind all, aud the sorriest, saddest object in the miserable scene, is the star of the com pany, Signor Bruin. From Seymour J. Guy we have a very pleasing example of bis nice feeling and charm of color. It is of a pretty child who strived to seize a butterfly which was settled on the tree trunk above her, out of her reach.” os the title says. W. Perry has sent “the Quiltor,” rep resenting au old lady engaged at that useful labor. Wm. Page is represented by one of his early pictures—classic in subject—a woman playing on a tamboriue. Mr, .fas. Barker, one of the oldest picture buyers and connoisseurs, contributes a verv pleasing early picture of J. G. Brown, enti tled In the Woods.” From Mr. Brevoort comes the largest and fsost generous contribution of the collection, H we are to measure value by the time given to it. This is not only a large painting, but n very attractive picture, an excellent exam ple of one of our best painters. William Hart’s contribution is of a moun tain road, with lake in tho distance and for est in the middle distance. Its most notice able feature js the clump of cedars ou the roadside, their sombre green half hidden by the frost-kissed vines, that glow in crimson blushes which they cannot hide. Hay id Johnson sends two landscapes, either one of which would have been a gen erous donation. And 80 .with T. L. Smith, who, having heard away ii} Cutaraugns Comity of the appeal. has scut two contributions, both highly meritorious. From W, Casiloar wc have a charming moonlight, with an exquisite bit of sky paint ing. bamucl Coleman scuds an important pic ture—a forest interior, invaded, through a clearing, by a Hood of light; pool with cat tle in the clearing.

A very erroneous impression lias got abroad respecting the amount of pine timber de y the recent devastating fires in this otate. It seems to be the current belief in many quarters that a largo proportion of the timber in our forests has been damaged, or thrown down. Nothing could v. j further from the truth. While this fact is true in certain localities, it is not true in much the largest part of tho pine region. The greatest destruction of property by these fires took placemHuron and Sinilac Counties; but m both the great bulk of pine had been al ready cleared oil, and only scattering bodies of timber remained, so that tho loss in this particular was comparatively small. Timber in liispola County suffered, perhaps, mure severely than iu any other county n* the State, aud most of it was of a choice quality. There wore alwi considerable quantities in the adjoining territory of Lapeer aud Genesee Counties. Iho destruction was also consid erable m Midland and Isabella Counties. Put when this enumeration is made, most of the pine country visited is included. Bay and bagmaw Counties have comparatively no timber standing. In the An Sable and Alpena Districts the tires have done next to no damage ut all to tho standing trees, main ly burning over clearings or slashings. If any one will take the trouble to look at amapof Michigan he will see that the vast bulk of the pine producing region lies north of the counties wo have named on the east ern side of the State. And all this region, as yet well nigh an unbroken wilderness, lias been unvisited by the destroying element. Upon the west side of the State there bas been still greater immunity. The only river whose contiguous timber has been ravaged is tho Pore Marquette, which mils through the centre of’ Mason, the lower part of Lake, and into tho upper part of Is e way go. The Muskegon and White Rivers are free, and so is the Manistee, throughout its length of 300 miles, only the citv at its month, and bearing its name, hav ing been destroyed. The destruction of pine, as a simple item by itself, aud reckoning by the millions of feet, Is largo; but the amount, when compared with the wealth of forests still standing, is almost insignificant. It is a safe estimate, aud within bounds to say that not more than 5 per cent of the standing pine timber of the State has been reached by fire. Of this amount, not to ex ceed 1 per cent will bo lost. Tho balance will be cut this winter, at some extra cost in money and labor, but saved from absolute loss and made available for tbe market at, perhaps, some diminution of profit to the manufacturer. The IHath #f Aadltar Ucacral Stanton, of Pennsylvania. The cause of the death of Dr. David Stan ton, Auditor General elect, is given in a let ter from two of his intimate friends, who were present at bis bedside at tho time of his decease. It is stated that, about six weeks ago. Dr. Stanton made two jtost mor tem examinations, in doing which he was obliged, for over an hour, to handle decom posing tissue and to inhale impure air. No immediate bad result was observed, but iu about lour weeks symptoms of cadaveric poisoning, which is poisoning from a dead body, manifested themselves, and on Novem ber 3 there appeared ou his left cheek a snot of erysipelas inflammation, which on the next day extended over the whole cheek and half of the uose. The face was exceedingly tender, and the burning pain gave him no rest. As he had lost sleep for several nights, the attending physician advised a small in jection of morphine, and offered to ad nnnister this remedy. Dr. Stanton, how ever, refused the offer, ami said that he would not take tho morphia until near Ihml time. Between 7and Biu tho evening Dr. Stantou inserted one grain of morphia in to tho inner part of tho arm near its junction with tho shoulders. He dropped into a pleasant sleep in a short time, but iu about two hours the character of his breathing be came alarming uudho could not be awakened. His breathing was stertorous, tho action of the heart was feeble and irregular, the pupils of the eye was greatly contracted, tho ex tremeties cold, and the stupor profound Physicians were scut for and immediately imvcd, and every remedy and appliance known to science were used for his relief but without avail, and ho expired ou Nov. o’ it half-past 1 iu tho tparuiug. The attending physicians are of opinion that the death of Dr. Stanton was caused by the unusually prompt and complete absorp tion of tho morphia, prostrating a svstem al ready disorganized by “cadaveric” poison ing. mrckleabart-Vchwtrin. The feudal old State of Mecklonburg- Schwerin is just now the scene of intense political excitement. Nine-tenths of the :>eople demand imperatively that the present feudal institutions of the grand duchy shall *>e replaced by a liberal parliamentary con stitution but Grand Duke Frederick Frau ds stubbornly refuses. Thereupon the Mayors of all the cities, most of them ap- Kiinted by the Grand Duke himself, and wenty thousand farmers and peasants have ippcalcd for relief to the German Parliament in a remarkable petition. They intimate that, if the Parliament should refuse or neglect to do them justice, very se rious troubles will follow. In Berlin it was ixpected that the Parliament would simply refer the petition to Prince B ism ark, ana :bat he, though opposed to the present state if affairs in Mecklenburg, would be unable so do anything, becpqae of the Emperor’s fondness for the Grand Duke, bis favorite lophew.

Should it please Her Majesty’s Govern-, meut, therefore, to remove the many griov-j nuces to which Catholics are subjected by existing University arrangements, and to establish one national University in that kingdom for examining candidates and con ferring degrees, the Catholic people of Ire land are entitled iu justice to demand that 111 ml University, or annexed to it, (a) rliey shall have one or more colleges, conducted upon purely Catholic principles, and at the same time fully participating in the privileges enjoyed by other colleges, of whatsoever denomination or character. -That the University honors and emolu ments bo accessible to Catholics equally with their ITotcataut felluw-snbject«.

All this can, we believe, bo attained bv modifying the constitution of the University of Dublin, so as to admit the establishment of a second college, iu every respect equal to //mity College, and conducted on purely Catholic pnuciplcs, in which your Bishops slnul have full control iu all things regarding faith and morals, securing thereby the spir itual interests of your children, placing at the same time Catholics on a footing of perfect equality with Protestants, as to degrees, emoluments, and all other advantages.^ The Genera (Wla.) Bank Bebberf. Geneva, Wla. (Nov. 14), correspondence of the Elkhart Incopundent. On eduesday night tho hank in this village was entered by burglars, effecting an entrance through an upper window, fronting Mam street; the right door of the large Her ring safe was bored with a half-inch drill, powder forced in, and the front of the door containing the lock blown off; the inner drawer bored and blown out also, and its con tents stolen, consisting of over $1K),000 in greenbacks and about SIO,OOO in bonds, the private property included. The bonds were left uninjured. Within a few minutes of the lime of the explosion another took place in tho grist-mill of Gilbert Barber, rending the safe more generally Mian in the hunk. The contents were all taken out, lain upon the door and examined, but their booty was small, there being but $8 in money in it: this amount, however, they had the impudence to take. The robbery doubtless took place ear ly m the morning (Thursday) and us soon a* discovered, parties started out on every road from Geneva, those going to Hebron heliov ingthcy got upon their track, hut nothing definite has been found out nor any arrests made up to this (Tuesday) inclining.
