aIEtion of Democrats, Republicans.
n,r.7 Xyypfos..

2sIAN w
Upon what appears to be the most reia-
BILE information, it may be stated that we'll
organized movement is now on foot looking
to the formation OF new party, to be COM
posed Of the conservative and moderate
men of both the Democratic and Republic
can parties, under the name Of the National
Union party, and that at an early day 4 con-
ference will be held in the city of New
York as y preliminary step. 1t is also
said that quite Il number OF promi-
nent and influential citizens are iden-
titled with the movement, consisting OF the
warmest supporters Of the present Admin
istration, as we'll rs OF many OF those who
have heretofore been identified with the
opposition.
This statement must not be COMPOUNDED
with the canard published Il few days ago
purporting to give an account OF meeting
which was alleged to have been held de-
nounciug President Hayes, and giving SYM
pathy and support to Senator Blaine. This
movement ia not, comparatively speaking, a
recent one, prominent persons having for
several weeks past been agitating the matter
secretly; and while many We're admitted
into the confidence OF the enterprise, none
dared disclose word concerning IT..
Without mentioning names. it may be sig
nilcant to recall the fact that during the
past six weeks some OF the most
prominent men from the East. West,
and South have visited Washington, repre-
senting every diversity OF public opinion.
They did not all come in a body but sep
aratoly, and without any furry or excite
ment quietly saw the President and MEM
bers OF his Cabinet. OF course the Prcsi-
dent cannot be said to be in any way par
ty to the enterprise. His acts speak for
themselves, and his promises are few.
Whatever steps, therefore, are taken in the
premises will be entirely without direction
from him, being based solely upon his an
nounced policy and the good Of the whole
people. Subsequent to the preliminary
meeting to be held in New York it is pro-
posed to hold other meetings in southern
and western cities, and the Olc-Llne w nlgs
OF the South are to be specially invited to
join the movement Washington Repu6l1-
can. 'Ff .'

FEARS OF ANOTHER RISING IN In.
DIA.-Private letters from India speak
of growing anxiety among European
residents, who are strengthining the
volunteer corps accordingly. The
Calcutta volunteers turn out 700 strong
armed with Martini Henry rifles, and
very shortly cavalry corps of at least
100 sabers will take their place beside
the infantry. At Cawnpore, BON mbay,
and other places the same spontaneous
movement is observable, and it is en-
couraged by the Government. The
repeated reve;ses sustained by the
Russians have given rise to the very
illogical deduction that the Asiatic is
generally match for the European.
The Hindoos openly acknowledge their
sympathy with the Mohammedans; and
assign as reason that it is natAralthey
should take the side of an Oriental
Power and people. In some parts, es-
pecially along the northwestern front
Ter, the bearing of the Mussulmans has
become insolent and provocative. The
Ameer of Cabul is credited with all
sorts of insane projects, and furiously
resents the presence of az English force
at Quetta.

The COaI-FIelds in Russia

The St. Petersburg correspondent of
the London Times says that a good
deal of excitement has recently been
caused there in official and commercial
circles by the announcement that val
liable coal-beds have been discovered
near Lake Omega. A commission sent
by the Grand Duke Constantine, to in.
vestigate the matter, reported that
they had found a seam ten feet six
incses in thickness. From this fact it
was at once concluded that St. Peters
burg would have no longer any need
of English coal, and that a revolution
would be made in the shipping trade
with England. The consequences
would, indeed, be very serious, because
if St. Petersburg did not require Eng,
lish coal, the grain ships would have
to come out in ballast, and the freights
would have to be raised. The latest
intelligence has, however, somewhat
calmed the fears Of the grain merchants
The coal is not anthracite, as was at
first supposed, and is Of very inferior
quality. A correspondent at Shungi
writes that it may, perhaps, be used in
the locality, but it cannot possibly re-
place E lglish coal in St. Petersburg.

Echoes from Dead Voices.

The Scientific american of las,
week con Dtains the first announcemeo,
of what may be the most wonderful in-
vention of the day.
Nothing could be more incredible
than the likelihood of once more hear
ing the voice of the dead, yet the In.
ventlon OF the new instrument is said
to render this possible hereafter. 1t j,
true that the voices are stiled, bm
whoever has spoken or whoever may
speak into the mouth piece of fhe
phonograph, and whose words are re-
corded by it, has the assurance that
his speech may be reproduced audibly
In his own tones long after he himself
has turned to dust. A strip of indent-
ed paper travels through little mn
1aahlpes the sounds of the latter are mag
nifed, and posterity centuries hence
hear US as plainly as if we were pres
enh Speech has become, as it were,
immortal. The Scientific American
says:
"The possibilities of the future are
not much more wonderful than those
of the present. The orator in Boston
speaks, the indented strip Of paper is
the tangible result; but this travels
under second machine which may
connect with the telephone. Not only
is the speaker heard now in San Fran
cisco for instance, but by passing the
strip again under the reproducer be
may be heard to- m orrow, or next ear,
or next century. His speech in the first
instance is recorded and transmitted
simultaneously, and indefuate repeti-
tion is possible.
"The new invention is purely me-
chanical- no electricity is involved.
1t is simple affair Of vibrating plates,
thrown into vibration by the human
voice. 1t is crude yet, but the prin-
clple has been found. and notifications
and improvements are only matter of
time. So also are its possibilities other
than those already noted. Will letteE-
writing be thing of the past? Why
not, if by simply talking into mouth
piece our speech is recorded on paper,
aud our correspondent can by the same
paper hear US speak :? Are we to have
a new kind Of books There is NO rea-
son why the orations of our modern
Clceros should not be recorded and
detachably bound so that we can run
the lndented slips through the machine,
and in the quiet of our own apartments
listen again. and and ss often as We
will, to the eloquent words. Nor are
we restricted to spoken words. Music
may be crystalized as well. Imagine
an opera Or an orator;o, sung by the
greatest living vocalists, thus recorded,
and capable of being repeated as we
desire"

otism that caviled at no personal sacri
fee, he defeated its Vaccinations and
made them to ultimately react upon bis
country's enemies. He has left the
impress of his great mind upon many
of our most valued institutions; and
now that his party can no longer bene-
fit by their testimonies, his more gener-
Gus opponents, has to pay their tribute
to his incorruptible honesty and his
worth as citizen. The adjournment
usual under similar circumstances was
voted by both Houses and by an exc
cutive order the Departments are all
closed to day, while Committees from
both House and Senate and several
Cabinet officers are in attendance at his
funeral in Indianapolis.
The appointment of Mr.. Welsh as
Minister to England, while provoking
little visible opposition, aroused no
special mark of commendation. IF it
was intended as a peace offering to
Pennsylvania Republicans it has failed
to accomplish its purpose except to
very limited extent, judging from indi-
cations here. Under an exterior of
careless indifference or confidence as
sumed for the occasion, there is
counter current of indescribable anxi-
ETY. over to-morrow's elections in polit-
ical circles; and We seem justified in
supposing that it nowhere runs deeper
than at the White House.

RECENT news from the Indian
country shows that the Arapahoes who
left Red Cloud Agency last Thursday
in charge of Lieutenant Lemly, Unit
ed States Third Cavalry, were at Hot
Creek, Wy. T., on their way to Fort
Caspar, in the vicinity of which post
they will spend the winter. The party
consists of'28O lodges of Arapahoes and
ten lodges of Sioux-in all about l 200
people. They profess to be we'll salts
fed with their removal from Red Cloud
Agency, and appear to be anxious to
reach their new hunting-grounds. All
are we'll and warmly clothed. The
band have over thousand head of
ponies. The majority of the men have
arms, but complain of want of ammu-
milton. They expect to reach Fetter-
man by the Goth, and Caspar by the
end of the month. Information direct
from Col Miles says it is impossible to
bring Joseph's band to Fort A. Lin
coin, as wagons are not to be had.
The Seventh Cavalry is now marching
via Buford to Bismarck.
Sitting Bull has got settled for the
winter on Canadian soil, and will prob
ably "give us rest' until spring, un-
der the supervision of the Dominion
police force. The old fellow is very
boastful and ugly since his interview
with the United States Commission,
and brags terribly Of what he intends
to do. The police officers are tired of
his boasting, and Major Walsh took
him aback the other day by telling him
that if he attempted to attack Ameri-
can troops or traders from Canadian
soil the police would shoot him on the
spot.

A DELEGATION Of Indians from the
Ponca tribe is the latest to visit the
authorities in Washington. These red
representatives arrived at the national
capital yesterday, and comprise thir~
teen chiefs under charge of Indian
Agent White, Of the Ponca reservation
in the Indian Territory. These chiefs
will present petition asking for re-
moval of their people to some reserva-
ton larger and more congenial than
their present one The Poncas are
very wild, warlike and superstitious
even when compared with the Sioux,
Cheyennes or other fierce Indian ma
tions, and, though but few in numbers
at the present time, by reason of their
reduction in their wars few years
since, when situated in Northern Ne
braska and Western Dakota, near their
enemies, the Brules, Ogalallas and
Minnecoujou Sioux, yet they are am
bilious to enter some new region where
they may hunt wild game and feel less
fettered by civilizing influences. This
tribe is the one which almost annually
engages in the horrifying self-tortures
incident to the "Sun Dance"

OF Cleopatra's Needles, recent

OF Cleopatra's Needles, a recent
editorial in the London Times says:
The history of our needle is some
what singular one, and its latest chap
ter is the most singular of all 1t may
be 5000 years, or as Professor Eras-
mus Wilson thinks, $500 years, since
the needle first took its present form.
We know more certainly that it is just
l,9OO years since it was conveyed from
its original site at Heliopolis, and set
up with It's brother ooelisk, at Alex
andria. Whatever it has gone through
in its earlier days, the drifting sand
storms that have beaten upon it and
worn down its surface, the catastrophe
which overturned it and left it half.
buried and safe against further injury,
are not now the strangest part of it's
long experience. The wonder of its
adventures by land is as nothing COM
pared with its adventures by water. To
have been flung about hither and thither
on the broad sea, with no human eye
to look after it, and no human hand to
rescue it, and to have passed securely
through ALL is more indeed, than any
other member of it's famous family can
find to vaunt about.
