Songs In the Winds.

BY ELIZABETH YATES RICHMOND.
And If God sendeth a song in the winds,
On the solemn winds in the hush OF the night,
Think you ii is not ours 10 sing,
To give ii a voice, and to echo Alright?
Whether ii be like the battles boom.
Or song of the sunshine fresh and clear,
Or only the plant OF a broken heart
That seeth grave shroud everywhere.
The great gray eagle among the cliffs
Answers the thunders n monotones,
But the wee brown lark skimming over the
grass
Ceroleth joyously tune on tune.
Lies surf are waves chatting along the coast,
And frighted with songs that no man sings,
With anthem and charms, waiting just
For master hand TO sweep the strings,
For a vain that should thrill through our in
most lives,
For strain that should ring through the
deathless years.
For suns that should live while the old earth
thrObs
And palpitates with its hopes and Fears

The Dakota woman suffrage bill was We
toed by Governor Pierce. He feared that If
the till became the law it would delay the
admission of the Territory, and he doubted
WI etter majority of the women OF Dakota
wanted the franchise. He raised two objec-
tons 10 the provisions OF the bill, which
were teDable, one debarring women from
the right TO hold office aud
the other falling to remove the word
male" from the qualifications of electors
az given in city charters, thereby leaving
the diss bili'y still standing against women

had a fair harvest, and the prospects
of the winter crops are excellent.
The BurdWan district continues 10
improve; and it is believed that The
foundations will greatly benefit the
winter crop. Prices are falling. The
distribution of charitable relief has
been discontinued in Burdwan, Ban
coera, and Beerbhopm, and most of
the relief works are closed in these
districts
The MoorShedabad and Nuddca
districts suffered more than any other
part Of the province, having 1,241
square miles flooded out of a total Of
2,145. But the Government believes
that although temporary distress has
been caused to the culrivat0rs, the
foods have done no permanent iniu-
ry, and have ensured abundant crops
for The next few years. No relief
works are required in Jessore; but
in the HooghIy and Howrah districts
there has been Il great destruction of
crops and houses, as also in Midna-
pore. Relief works have been sane
toned for those three districts. The
loss IF lie has been very small.
The accounts of the destruction
caused by the cyclone in OrisSa are
much nor serious. The Lieutenant
Governor is still inquiring into the
calamity on the spot. As yet no
accurate estimate Of the loss of life
has arrived but it seems certain that
at least 5000 persons were drowned
and that nor than $50 villages were
submerged. Probably somewhat *.
t%ensive relief works will be neces-
sary.-Ibid.

The KULdjG Frontier.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 81.

A letter in the Nor0Stj, from Diar-
kent, describes the disorders and dan.
gers in Chinese KuIdja and on the
Russian frontier as greatly on the in
creaSe. On the 9TH of September a
party OF marauders burnt a large guam,
tity OF standing corn, and, while Il
Chinese detachment sent against them
was resting, they surprised and MUIR
dtrcd 10 of the soldiers and one Off
Ger, and pursued the rest into the for
tress of Tchinchagos.
About the same time another party
Of brigands in the Talkinsky Hills
slaughtered no fewer than 800 infan-
try and 100 cavalry soldiers to the
last man; and on the 18Th OF Octo-
Der 800 more Chinese Bashi- Bazouks
laid waste the settlement of Altitude,
near KuIdja Town. Most of the bri-
gands are Chinese deserters, and the
small number of Cossack pickets are
unable to prevent similar acts of
murder and plunder on Russian ter
ritory.-Ibid.

Letters from Batavia say that even

quite certain hat over 500 persons

up from the sea in the caiaclysm of
August, 1888, have again suddenly
disappeared, and there is now a con
siderable depth Of water where they
stood a few months ago.-lbjd.

CALCUTTA, Nov. 22nd.
In the absence of more exciting
domestic topics, the Viceroy's pro-
gress through central India and Raj
pootana continues to occupy a large
share of public attention. The visits
to the various native Courts have
been marked by a series of splendid
plyeants and by abundant speech,
making, but by no incident of any
great political Importance. The
ceremonies at Indore were magnifi-
c nj and interesting and it may be
noted that in the speech delivered
there Lord Duff9rin said some words
which his successors would do well
to bear in mind. He said
81 he first duty of a Vicoroy is to
learn. 1t is much better that he
should act slowly, deliberately, and
with knowledge, THIN that he should
embark upon experimental lines Of
policy on the strength of imperfect
information"
After leaving Indore Lord Dufferin
went to Jodpore, where he arrived
last Sunday evening, and was %receiv-
ed at the station by the Maharajah,
attended by 43 feudal chiefs, each
with a splendid retinue, Monday
was devoted to pigsticking, and the
Viceroy succeeded in getting the first
spear. Various excursions and fes-
%ti,ities occupied the ensuing two
days. The next State visite was
Jeypore, where the Viceregal party
arrived on Friday morning. Here,
too, the reception was most magniti-
cent, and a great Dunbar was held,
at which the principal chiefs were
presented. Yesterday was to witness
a tiger-hunt and tomorrow Lord
Dufferin will resume his progress
northwardS.
The Bengal Government has is
sued further papers on the condition
of the districts which recently suffer
ed from the floods and cyclone. For
tie most part the reports are reassur-
ing. The districts Of Patna and Gya
no longer give cause for anxiety.

THE REPORTED MASSACRE IN
NEW GUINEA.
From the TineeS.)

The expedition which is reported
to have been massacred in New Gui-
nen was sent out by the Geographic
cal Society of Australasia, founded in
May 1888. The expedition had been
organized with The greatest care and
mt considerable expense. The com
mander, Captain Henry Charles Eve
ill, had been selected from a number
of candidates, and his staff included
IL naturalist, a surgeon, two sub-Iead-
crs, one ON land and the other on sea,
a photographer, three natural history
collectors, a surveyor, IN engineer,
AMI a general utility" volunteer.
Very full Instructions were drawn out
for the expedition, while considera-
BILE discretion was left to the leader
to adapt his operations to circumstan
ces. The Instructions included direc-
tons not only for surveying work,
but for observations on the natives,
on zoology, botany, geology, with di-
rrcti0ns for the collection and preSer-
walton of specimens. The expedition
was to enter the Arid river, which is
probably only an east arm of the Fly
river. As a matter of fact, a telegram
in The Times of September % an
nUunced the arrival of the Bonito
(the vessel in which the expedition
sailed from Sydney in the Fly river.
II was TO penetrate as far as possible
into the interior. The Fly river was
partly explored III 1875 by . party
in the Eilangowan, while in 1876 the
Italian explorer, DR.. AIbertis, navi-
gated the river to near its source. He
was twice attacked by the natives,
who showed themselves very intracta-
bic, and any expedition up The river
would have to be conducted with the
greatest tao and caution, Accord
ing to our present knowledge the
central course of the river lies west
OF the 14lSt meridian, and therefore
in Dutch territory. While much of
the country through which il flows is
swalnpy, the banks in many parts are
covered with thick forests. With a
suitable steam launch it is navigable
10 near its source, and would no
doubt form an important route for
opening up the interior. The Aus
'ralasian Society contributed $500 to
the expedition of Mr.. II. O. Forbes,
who probably, notwithstanding the
serious loss of his equipment, arrived
in New Guinea about the same time
as Captain Everill's expedition. The
two expeditions must not, however,
be COMPOUNDED Mr.. Forbes had his
"w" purposes to carry cut, and had
no intention, we believe, OF working
III conjunction with The expedition
from sydney. We trust the rumour
of the massacre may not be confirm
ed but ut all events there is no rea-
son to feel uneasy on Mr.. Forbes's
account.
