MUSICAL SANDS.

An examination of the musical sands
of Kauai, one Of the principal islands of
the Hawaiian group, which have excit.
ed so much interest on the part of geol-
ogists and others, shows that they pos.
sess a peculiar microscopical structure.
The grains are found to be chiefly COM
posed Of small portions of coral and
apparently calcareous sponges; they are
all more or less perforated with small
holes, in some instances forming tubes,
but mostly terminating in blind cavi-
ties. which are frequently enlarged in
the interior Of the grains, communicat.
ing with the surface by small open.
ing. There were also in the sand small
black PARTICLES, formed principally of
crystals of augite. nepheline and mag.
netic oxide Of iron, imbedded in CLASSY
matrix. The structure of these grains
explains why sound is emitted when
they are set in motion; that is, the fric.
tion against each other causes vibra.
tions in their substance. and conse.
queptly in the sides OF the cavities they
contain--and these vibrations being
communicated to the air in the cavities
under the most favorable conditions for
producing sound, the result is the loud
noise oeeasionsd when any large mass
Of sand is set in motion, there being in
fact millions upon millions Of resonant
cavities, each giving forth sound.

BILLY'S ROSE.

BILLY'S ROSE.
Bllys dead, aud gone to glory-so IL Billy's sister
There's tale know about them were poet would
tell;
Soft 1t comes with perfume laden, like breath Of
country air
Waited down the filthy alley, bringing fragrant
Odours there.
In that vile and filthy alley, long ago one wnters
day,
Dying quick of want and fever hapless, patient Billy
lay,
While beside him sat his sister, In the garrets dismal
gloom,
Cheering with her gentle presence BllIy's pathway
to the tomb.
Many tale of elf and fairy did she tell the dying
child,
Til his eyes lost half their anguish. and his worn
wan features smiled;
Tales hersef had heard hap hazard, caught amid
the Babel roar,
Lisped about by tiny possips playing round their
mothers door.
Then she fet his wasted fingers tighten as she feeby
told
How beyond this dismal alley lay land OF shining
gold,
Where, when all the pain was over-where when all
the tears were shed
lie would be white frocsed angel, with gold thing
on his head.
Then she told some garbied story OF kind. eyed
Savours love,
How he'd built for little children great big play
grounds up above,
Where they sang and played at hop-scOtch aud at
horses all the day,
And where beadles and policemen never frightened
them away.
This was Ne's idea OF Heaven-just bit OF what
she'd heard,
With little bit invented, and little bit inferred
But her brother lay and listened, and he seemed to
understand,
For he closed his eyes and murmured he could see
the Promised Land.
"Yes," he whispered, ~ can see it-I can see II,
sister Nell
Oh, the children look 10 happy, and they're all 10
strong and well;
can them there with Jesus lie Ia playing with
them, too!
Let run away and Join them, IFS there's room for
me aud you"
She was eight. this little maden and her life had all
been spent
In the garfet aud the alley where they starved to pay
the rent;
Where q drunken father's curses and q drunken
mothers blowA
Drove her forth into the gutter from the d.ys dawn
to It's close.
But she knew enough, this outcast Just to tell the
sinking boy,
YOu must die before your able all these Desslngs 10
enjoy.
You must die, 'she whispered, "BIlly, and am not
even III;
Bat III come to you, dear brother, yea, promise
that WILL
You are dying, little brotner,-you are dying, oh,
80 fast;
heard father say to mother that he knew you
couldn't last.
They viii put you III a coian, then you1l wake and
be up there,
While I'm left alone to suffer lu this garret bleak
and bare.
"Yes, know it, answered Billy. "Ah, but, sister,
don't mind,
Gentle Jesus will not beat me- Hes not cruel or un-
kind.
The Sunday herald. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1866-1887, 1886-04-04

But can't help thinking, Nellie, should like TO
take away
Something, sister, that you gave me, might look at
every day.
"In the summer you remember how the mission
took us out
To great green lovely meadow, where we played
And the van that took us halted by a sweet bright
patch OF land,
Where the fine red blossoms grew, dear, half as big
as mothers hand.
"Ncli, I asked the good Kind teacher what they
called such flowers as those
And he told me, remember, that the pretty name
was rose.
have never seen them since, dear-how wish
that had onel
just to keep and think OF you, Ne when I'm up be-
yond the SUM-"
Not a word said little Nellie; but at night, when
Billy slept,
on she ,ung her scanly garments and then down
the stairs she crcpt.
Through the silent streets OF London she ran nmbly
asa fawn,
Running on and running ever till the night had
changed to dawn.
When the foggy sun had risen, aud the mist had
cleared away,
All around her, wrapped In snowdrft there the open
countrylay.
She was tired, her limbs were frozen, and the roads
had cut her feet,
But there came no fowery gardens her poor fearful
eyes to meet
She had traced the road by asklng-she had learned
the way to go;
She had found the famous meadow-itw was wrapped
in cruel snow:
Not buttercup or daisy, not single verdant blade
Showed Its head above Its prison. Then she knelt
her down and prayed
With her eyes upcast to Heaven, down she sank
upon the ground,
And she prayed TO God to tell her where the roses
might be found.
Then the cold blast numbed her senses, and her
sight grew strangely dim;
And sudden, awful tremor seemed to seize her
every limb
"Oh, rose!" she moaned, "good Jesus-just rose
to take to Bill"
And as she prayed chariot came laundering down
the hill;
sweet:
As she passed she lung 1t from her, ana fell at
Nelly'sfeet.
just word her lord had spoken caused her ladyshp
TO fret,
And the rose had been his present, 80 she flung in
apet;
But the poor, half blinded Nelly thought 1t fallen
from the skies,
And she murmured, "Thank you, Jesus" and she
clasped the dainty prize.
Lo, that night from out the alley did child's soul
pass away,
From dirt and sin and misery to where Gods chill
dren play.
Lo, that night wild, fierce snowsorm burst in fury
DER the land,
And at morn they found Nell frozen, with the red
rose In her hand.
Blly's dead. and gone to glory-so ia Bly's sister
Nell;
Am bold to say this happened in the land where
angels dwell:-
That the children met In heaven, after all their
earthly woes,
And that Nelly kissed her brother and said, "Blly,
here's your rose?"

The promotion of Colonel Potter to be brig
adler general is one we can heartily COM
mend as based upon the sound principle of
recognizing both distinguished service and
seniority as considered with reference to the
date of retirement. The great rewarls for
heroes of the Civil War have been heaped
upon a few popular heroes, and too little has
been thought of the gallant and meritorious
ones who did not attain the highest rank or
become the personal favorites of the Grant
clique. Obviously colonel who has never
done anything else has no special claim to
be promoted because he has simply grown
old, but the colonels who have commanded
corps and divisions with ability and dis
tinction in memorable battles and campaigns
have earned the right TO retirement as gen.
eral officers If the exigencies of the service
will permit. Keeping this idea in view, We
cannot see the peculiar claim to present pro-
motion which makes brigadier of Colonel
Ruger, who does not retire until eleven years
hence. Such promotion ought not to be
made il 1t compels officers of quite as high
merit, like Ayres, Wilcox, and others, to re-
tire as colonels.
