THE ORIGIN OF Music.
For The Leader.
DY A CLERGYMAN.

B1 a ILEhG MAN.
Music is not of human origin, but
like art generally is only initiative.
Nature presents to the eye Of the paint
er her grouping of hills and valleys,
lakes and woodlands, and hence the
imitation in the production of the paint
ed landscape. The sculptor reduces
his marble to the shape Of the physical
man, and this is all he can do. And If
we would know the origin of music we
must go back Of the sciences, to the
elements upon which 1t is based; back
to the unwritten music of nature. All
that the most gifted performer can do
is to form the sounds Of nature into
new combinations and arrangements.
Every sound that man is capable of
producing has its counterpart in the
material world, and is only ar imita-
ton of the sounds which nature with
out training or cultivation has uttered.
1t is impossible, it seems to me, for
any one to have failed to perceive anal
ogies between the sounds in nature and

ST. PAUL, November 4.-The returns
come in slow from the country,
only a few small precincts being re-
ceived. Those indicate a much smaller
vote than two years ago and the ma
jorities are proportionately reduced.
There is much scratching OF all the lead
ing candidates. Pillsbury, Republican
for Governor, tails behind his ticket in
most OF the precincts, but runs ahead
largely in a few. Gilman, Republican
for Lieutenant Governor, generally
ahead and it is not likely the average
majorities on the State ticket will much
exceed 10000, though the returns from
large interior towns may materially in
crease the Republican vote. Some few
precincts in the southern part OF the
State, where the bulk OF the vote is cast,
show large Republican gains. In st.
Paul, Rice, Democrat for Governor, is
running ahead OF his ticket and will
have a large majority, probably 1000.
The great amount of scratching makes
the connt slow. In Minneapolis, Pill
bury's home, the full vote is Pillsbury,
Republican, 2,Sl5; Rice, Democrat, 555.

WEST UNION, w. Va, Nov. 3.
An old feud broke out in this (Dodd-
RIDGE county, on Big Flint Run, on
Tuesdny or Wednesday last, between
one John F. Boyce and his two sons on
one part, and a man named W. o.
Combs on the other. In the difficulty
Combs was shot, and it is thought that
he is fatally injured. A warrant was
obtained for the Boyce boy who shot
Combs and placed in the hands OF an ofh-
Ger, who, knowing the desperate char.
acter of old man Boyce, summoned
a posse and went 10 make the ar
rest, but was resisted by Boyce and
his two boys, who fired on the officer,
and knocked him over, but fortunately
did no. serious harm, after which the Of
ficer and his pOSSs opened fire, being
responded TO by the Boyces from the
house, until Old Man Boyce and one OF
his BOYS were wounded. and the other
boy, the one who shot Combs, escaped.
One Of the officers men, by the name OF
Williams, was wounded by Boyces' fire.
Old Boyce and his wounded boy are in
custody and no doubt will be brought to
trial at our Circuit Court, which con-
venes on the 18th of this month.

Weekly Review of the English Grain
Trade


LONDON, November 4.-The Mark
Lane Express says: In the southern
counties of England there are many
fields of beans still exposed to the
weather. In the latter districts i'll
Scotland the harvesting Of oats still drags
on. Irish advices contrast favorably
with these. The wet and foul condition
of the land in England delays plough
ing, and comparatively little wheat is as
vet sown. Despite the damp weather
a good deal of English wheat has been

condition OF the bulk OF the wheat which
which was offered for sale the past
week, owing to pressing pecunlary needs
of tn eiarmers has been anything but
good. Really sound grain fit for milling
or sowing has been comparatively rare
and was unaffected by the decline OF
l0G25,per quarter which has been gen.
eralv quoted. The trade has been very
dull. II no further decline occurs in
foreign wheat before the approaching
closing OF the Baltic ports by ice there
appears to be sufficient strength in the
trade TO withstand the action OF
America without the present range OF
values undergoing much alteration
during the winter. Even il further
slight fall occur it is more than likely
it will be speedily recovered under the
influence of an increased demand from
France. The local trade has been
very quiet throughout the week
with only moderate consumption.
and demand. Spectators were anxious
to realize, and prices receded about one
shilling per quarter for all descriptions
of foreign wheat. Indian wheat has
been arriving more freely and has at
tracted fair share of attention, though
activity therein will probably be less
marked than in 1876, when the large
arrivals very sensibly lnterfered with
the sale OF Russian and American des-
criptions. The arrivals OF maize have
been very light, but at the beginning oil
the week it was unsaleable, except at
reduction of six pence per quarter, and
prices have tended downward ever since.
The arrivals at the ports OF call have
been limited. The depression
in wheat continued until Thurs
day, when the decline since
Monday amounted to two shillings per
quarter. The sales, however, were few.
i reaction since occurred, and one shil-
ling and six pence of the decline has
been recovered. The demand for maize
has been small, and it has receded six
pence per quarter. The business in
wheat to arrive has been very restricted
and red winters declined 2(92 shillings
and six pence per quarter during the
week, both on passage and for ship
ment, but l@l shilling and six pence
has been recovered. Barley quiet and
steady. Maize has fallen six pence per
quarter. Sales of English wheat last
week, 1896 quarters at fifty shillings
and four pence, against $1,000 quarters
at thirty-nine shillings for the CORE

The city of Milwaukee, complete,

2,l32 majority. The city of Madison,
usually Democratic, gives Smith 80 ma
ioritv. Returns from 81 towns and cit
les, outside of Milwaukee, show a Re-
publican gain of POO over the vote of

MILWAUKEE, November 4.-Ninety-
six towns and cities outside OF Milwau-
kee, shows Republican gain of S,554
over two years ago. The county and
city OF Milwaukee, with one pre-
cinct to hear from, gives Republican
gain of 2,46l. The net Republican gain
in the State, including Milwaukee, is so
far 6,0l5. There is little doubt OF
Smith carrying the State by 10000. This
was Zach Chandler's prediction when he
left the field.
Thirty-two towns and precincts, out
side of this city, give net Republican
gain of $40. The State is secure for
10000 Republican majority, with a fair
prospect of swelling it to $4,000.

AN OPEN DRAW-BRIDGE.
A Passenger Train Precipitated
into Hackensack River.

HACKENsACK, n. Y, November 4
4 passenger train, this morning, on the
New York and Greenwood Lake rail-
road, composed OF one engine and one
coach, ran into Hackensack river, owing
TO the draw-bridge being open. Engi-
neer Dexter was wounded by jumping
before the locomotive reached the edge
of the chasm. There were abont twen-
ty persons in the coach, mostly business
men, living at Arlington, Montclair and
Greenwood Lake, on their way
TO New York. J. ID. Wood,
the baggage-master, was sitting on
the front seat of the passenger coach.
He said the fireman leaped on the front
platform of the coach, and running TO
the edge was dumped into the river. He
then rushed out the doorway and, see
ing the forward part OF the engine Just
going over the draw, himself jumped
into the river. The full particulars
have not yet been received. Only one
person has thus far been killed, Ira
Dexter, engineer, age 40, and residing in
Jersey City with a wife and family. His
neck was broken and head crushed.
The wounded known are j.
ID. Wood, baggage master, back
injured internally; F. b. Tuttle OF Mt.
Clair, merchant in New York city, bad
ly cut and bruised, he was taken back
u Newark Harrison, OF Woodside, head
cut and suffered internally, he swallow
ed a quantity of salt water, which he
vomited with blood, was also taken to
Newark; John Masker, fireman, serious
ly strained by striking the bridge; VIM.
Stark, conductor, badly bruised but not
seriously hurt; Jesse Williams, brake
man, bruised about the head, side and
arms. Others suffered from drenching
and exposure of fifteen or twenty min
utes in the cold water.
1t seems that the bridge tender is ac-
customed IN leave the draw open all
night and did not arrive in time to close
it. The train, comprising engine and
tender and one passenger car, with
twenty passengers, all males, approached
the open draw at the rate Of about ff-
teen miles an hour. The engineer, not
discovering the alarm signal till it was
too late to stop the train, jumped
on the bridge striking .his head, and
died in a few minutes. The others, ex-
cept those previously mentioned. es-
capped with more or less fearful bruises.
The passenger coach floated on the wa
ter. and the passengers were taken out
through the windows and roof by men
in a small boat. None Of the passen-
gers were killed, and only one or two
seriously injured. They were all trans
ferred to the Newark branch train and
sent through to New York.

Swell the Democratic Column.

A REVIEW Of the election returns given
below are conclusive OF the fact that
some Of the States which were counted
on for the Republicans have not disaP-
pointed expectations, but in others the
result will furnish no ocsasiOn for glOri-
fication. In most of the States voting
yesterday, the Democracy claimed but
little-and got il.
But in New York, toward which the
hopes and expectations Of the Nation
were turned, there is reason to be
lieve that the Democracy have
won a substantial and uprecedent-
ell political triumph. Although
losing the Governor, as was expected.
the balance OF the ticket has probably
been elected under circumstances of dis
couragement and a character Of opposi-
ton that has seldom been equalled in
a political campaign.
This is sufficient assurance that the
State is safe for the Democracy in the
Pres dental battle, and this is glory
enough tor one day. 1t is the kernel
of the whole business.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, November A

feated Massy, one of the leaders OF the

dication of a great victory for the Nc
Colloch bill.

candidate for the Senate, a majority OF
34S over the debt-paying candidate, DIR.
VIM. +. Harwood, and DR.. d. F. Mayer,
adiusters candidate for the Legislature
from this city, is elected by about 800
majority. The returns from various
precincts in adjoining counties give the
readjusters a small majority. Though
defeated in the election here to-day, the
supporters of the McColloch bill are con-
fident that they have large majority in
the State.
RICHMOND, November 4.-The vote OF
the city was the smallest ever polled,
there being no opposition to the Fund
cas-, or debt-payers', ticket but few
negroes. The returns received at the
Funders' headquarters here show that
all the counties which were considered
doubtful have gone for the Readjusters.
With all that, however, it is claimed
that the Funders will have majority
in both Houses. At the Readjusters
headquarters it is claimed that they will
have a small majority in the Senate and
House. J. f. Murray, a prominent
Readjuster, who has been leading the
canvasses of the party throughout the
State, is badly beaten by his Funder OPP
ponent, the majority against him being
stated at 800.

10 and Democrats l. OF the Senators

Legislature now elected, does
not choose a United States Senator, but
the Senators now elected hold over TILL
