OIL on the Treubled waters.

The inventive genius of a Scotch
man has, If we are to believe the
Scotch papers of to-day, found
way to accomplish something which
man has never before dreamed of
doing-namely, calming thestOrmy
sea. NJ. Shields, of Perth, has in-
vented way of shilling the waves
of the ocean, and put il into success
full operation. He sinks bottles
filled with oil; the bottles are opened
by a process devised by the inventor,
and the oil, ascending to the surface,
stills the waves, thus reducing the
proverb about pouring oil upon
the troubled waters" et0 practice.
The invention has been tested at
Peterhead with, it Is said, amazing
success. The Scotch papers are full
of it. The invention may not be
practicable upon the high seas,
where vast quantity Of oil would
manifestly be required to still a
dangerous storm, but if the claims
OF Shields, the inventor, are uenu-
inc, il could be made very useful In
calming open road-steads or illy-
sheltered harbOrs.

THE New York Observer has this
explanation in regard to the Cleo
patra Needles: at is frequently
asked whether there are two Cleo
patra Needles, for it is fact that
the obelisk recently erected on the
Thames embankment is called Gle
Opatra's Needle by the LOndoners.
We do not know how this name
came to be referred to the PROSTATE,
half-buried obelisk which was taken
to England. From our earliest
childhood we have seen and heard
this popular name applied to the
standing obelisk which has been
brought to New York. Three years
ago the London Athen@um pub
lished an article, with engravings
and translations of the inscriptions
on the London obelisk, which the
writer calls CleOpatra's Needle.
This was while it was still lying in
the sand not far from its companion
that had been a conspicuous object
of interest for many centuries. Both
are monuments Of the greatestm
arch Egypt ever produced and of
the most fiourishing period of its
history, but it is not desirable that
both should have the same popular
designation.

This language was the heart-utter-
ance of Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams,
who was born in Cambridge, Eng
land, in February, 1905, and whose
history has been but very slightly
known to the great public, who
have cherished her hymn a. one of
their most sacred treasures for nearly
half century. Her father was the
editor Of a weekly Cambridge paper.
Her mother was woman Of fine
gifts and culture, and she herself
was the youngest child. She was
noted in early life for the taste she
manifested in literature, and in ma
turer years for great zeal and earn
estness in her religious life. She
contributed prose and verse to the
periodicals OF theday, aud her art
criticisms were valued.
Married at an early age, and of
/ frail constitution, she still, amid
| many bodily sufferings, kept her
pen busy, her thoughts and writings
always tending upwards. AT what
/ time and amid what circumstances
she caught the inspiration from
which was evolved that wonderful
/ hymn, which has ever since echoed
round and round the globe, is not
known; but it was probably during
some period of peculiar trial, when
her spirit was uplifted through sOr-
row almost above its earthly body.
She little dreamed that her hymn,
like those of Toplady, Charlotte Eli
lott, and Ray Palmer, would be
heard through the ages.
It was first published in 1871, in a
volume of sacred lyrics issued by a
Mr.. Fox, Of England, just eight
years before the death of the gifted
authOress, who only lived to the age
of forty-four, and thus never knew
the fame which was TO attach to her
hymn and her name.
The hymn soon began to appear
j in various collections, and was ev.
erywhere received with delight. II
was given the tune Bethany
which became very popular in this
country. Everybody who has grown
up in Christian land knows it by
heart, and in many countries which
do not float the banner OF Christ il
is almost equally familiar.

his "Heart- Life, "Profs. Smith
Hitchcock and Park, as they wound
their way down the foothills o.
Mount Lebanon, came in sight of q
group of fifty Syrian students, stand
ing in a line, singing in chorus
They were the students of the new
'college of Beirut" at Abieh, ano
they were singing in Arabic to the
tune of Bethany As the profes
sors drew near, they caught the
sublime words
Nearer, my God, to thee!
Nearer to thee:
Zen though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
/ Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee
II am not much given to the
weeping mood" said Prof. Hitch
cock, when describing the thrilling
scene; but, when we rode through
the ranks of those Syrian youths,

damp"
eff it be permitted to thedeparted
people of God" continues DIR. Guy
Ter, "tO witness the transactions of
earth, we may imagine with what
rapture the glOrified spirit of Sarah
Flower Adams heard her heart-song
thus chanted in the land of sacred
story"

Her memory and hearing are excel

A Washington special to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer: The state of Della
ware, for which the republicans
made a tough money effort to beat
Bayard, is thus described by the
Milford News, a reputable paper in
the lower county, as it appeared in
the late election: "In some hamlets
one-fourth of the voters were pur-
chased. Not only men in INDECENT
circumstances. but men owning real
estate to the value of several thOu-
sand dollars, sold their votes for
$40, $15 and $40 each. In some cases
fathers included in the bill of sale
the ballots of their sons who voted
for the first time, Among these an
manly wretches were protesting
christians. men prominent 10 church
and Sunday-school work. The evil
is so widespread that the candidate
with the longest purse, no matter
what the qualifications for Office, is
almost sure to carry off the nomina-
tions.'

The question OF suing a state Is
being agitated in more quarters than
one. Judge LOchrane, of Georgia,
is now in Washington, and in an
interview with a co. eSpOndent thus
expressed himself:
81 am going to have introduced
into congress an amendment giving
the right to sue a state. There are
81 900, 900 OF Georgia bonds which
Bullock did not issue, but which
have been represented all the same.
| want that question opened to con-
gresS in the form of a constitutional
amendment. If / buy bonds of the.
state of New York and Day one
hundred cents on the dollar for them
and the governor of that state says
to me, these bonds are not legal,
shall reply to him, "that is all right
but don't want you to be the per-
son tOsayso. | want the courts to
say So"
Judge LOchrane is man Of in
huence and ability, and has figured
considerable in politics. He voted
for Grant, but at the last election
supported Hancock. The move
ment here limited at will be watched
with interest by people of more
states than Georgia. And the inter
esting inquiry naturally arises: is
the question to become a settled poll
icy of the republican party now that
it has come into a new lease of pow

"THE growing sentiment of
large number of the people in many
of the southern states to unload the
obligations of the state by the sum-
mary and dishonest process of repu-
diation is attracting much attention
among leading capitalists through
out the country"
Such statements are again appear
ing in the republican papers, and
they name Virginia, Arkansas and
Tennessee as leading repudiating
states. AS the people of these states
have very recently voted fatty
against reputation, the animus of
the charge is apparent. We won d
