MUSIC OF THE SPHERES.
Imaginative thoughts by a Noted Write
on Highly PocticaI Theme.

on Il lilgHiN fOtllCdi lHeHlC'
"Perhaps there is a music of the
spheres, but we can only imagine it, we
know nothing of it. l have som etimes
thought that if q blind spirit could be
supported in space so as to hear, as this
globe rolled by MIN, the notes that are
BONE on 1.-THE myriad voiced melody
of birds, the sweeping ef wiz DIS over all
zones, and the sheet of sound, now SOM
Der, now cheerful-they wassn fro the
forests while they stir-the low, lisping
penitence of the peaceful sea, and,
through all, the thanderous mellow bass
of the stirred ocean, beating on thou
sand leagues of rock-that spirit might
imagine it was psIghty organ rolling by,
touched on every key, alive in every stop,
and aroused by every pedal to the praise
of God.
But we can only conjecture what the
blended voices of this planet may be
when heard as a whole. In the music of
nature, SO far as We hear it in detail, no
idea is worked into and struggles through
even its vast vibrations. And it is ouly
when mighty thought or sentiment
rolls through waves of sound, combining
them so that they cooperate on our
heart and mind, that pure sublimity be-
gins. All else that We call sublimity is
only surprise of the senses."-THoMAs

An Avalanche Of Notion.

Eugene Schuyler surveyed Russia with
Il comprehensive eye, and summed the
situation well when he wrote, "Many wars
Will be constantly made and the Russians
will have to 90 further on, owing to cir
cumstances over which they have no con
troll" 1t Is the avalanche in motion.
Europe was told many years ago of its
force and fatality. Writing as far back
AS 1850 that interesting military critic,
Sir Edward Crecy, clearly measured It's
sweep. Russia had then within sixty five
years advanced her frontiers 500 miles
toward Vienna and Berlin TO the gate of
the Swedish capital, distant in Peters
reign 800 miles; ~ O miles toward Con
stantinople, and 1000 miles toward India
and Teheran. Previous to Pultowa Rus
ala was mere super on the European
political stage. Now she plays the lead
ing role. The Muscovite car, despised
10y Philip of Spain, ridiculed by Richie
lieu, and ignored by Elizabeth, became
the first ruler of Europe in political i'm
portauce. 1t must bring a smile to the
faces of BolinbrOke's modern readers
when they meet his reflection that Mus
coNlte history bears no relation to knowl-
edge which English statesmen should &C
qulre. Since Crecy's time Russias i'm
petus has gathered strength, rather than
suffered suspense or loss. Though she
was deprived of some of her fruits of
conquest in Turkey by the Berlin con
gress, the notifications of the San Stef-
ane treaty still left her the moral master
of the Balkans. Under the independent
autonomies established, and the guaran-
tees of religious freedom wrested from
the porte, the way was opened for her to
become the dominating influence of these
states. Under these dispensations she
could well afford to wrest on the east and
turn her attentions to Turkestau, with
what result we all know. The menace to
her programme of patience in the Balk-
ans Is the encroachment of German in
iuence. With Ferdinand deposed she
would doubtless be content to prolong the
peace till at least her internal affairs
were improved and her military system
perfected. In Ferdinand = retention she
Is unquestionably the victim of bad faith
Should he persist in remaining, and be
virtually supported by the inaction of the
powers, 1t is difficult TO see how Russia
can preserve her intentions and peace at
the same time.

ANCIENT CIVILIZATION.
Discovery of Prehistoric City in Northern
Mexico.
GIobe-D Democrat.


Globe Democrat.
Surveyors who are examining the
route proposed for railroad from Dem
ing, in New Mexico, to Janos, in the State
of chihuahua, and from there to some
point on the Pacific Coast, have gone al
ready as far as the old Spanish preside
of Janos, which is in the midst of the
wild Sierra Madre of Mexico, one of the
least known districts of North America,
but evidently the seat of an ancient civil
lization of which no authentic record has
come down to the present day. In
canyon which was passed through by the
surveying party a succession of dwellings
were encountered stretching along for
miles, and being built up il terrace form,
are above the other, with solid masonry
unlike the crude and pigmy-like cliff
dwellers of Arizona and New Mexico.
These dwellings had more the appearance
of regular streets, being built above each
other on the shelving declivity of the
canyon, and being difficult of access, as
If 1t had been done for purposes of de
Tense against powerful enemies. Most of
the buildings have front walls constructed
of hewn stones carefully eemented, while
the real portions are built into the sides
of the canyon. All of these ruins are in
a remarkable state of preservation, so
much so that they deserve more the
name of abandoned dwellings than of
ruins.
After this canyon is passed and the
open country reached, an isolated noun
tain of symmetrical proportions is reach
ed, on the summit Oe which the ruins of
gigantic stone structure are encountered,
the appearance of which indicates that it
was either a temple or the palace of
King. A portion of these ruins consist
of very hard concrete. At the foot of
this mountain are substantially construct
ed terraced structures, plainly showing the
existence in former times of an extensive
system OF irrigation and storage of water.
I he country for many miles IN all direc-
tions contains stone relics, such as melates
or stone tables, with appropriate pestiles
for the grinding of maize, stone ham
mers, various household utensils, and, IN
some instances, bronze tools of such cI-
traordinary hardness and temper that
they are equal TO modern steel tools
Wherever the ground is turned up these
relics are found in uufailing abundance
The neighboring Indians knows of these
evidences of a former civilization. The
belief is that the King of all the Mon
tezumas lived on the top of that noun
tain, but at what time sad What his name
was they did not know.

A FAMINE IN GOLD.
Some Figures Regarding Its Past, Present and
Future Production.

Future Production.
New York Mail and Express.
''PrObably nint-tenths of all the gold
obtained by man has been taken from
placer deposits, and our American oxper-
fence has been no exception to the gener-
81 rule" remarked an experienced min
ing operator in speaking of 10 past and
future of this valuable product the other
evening "Previous to 1S47 our tota'
gold production amounted to $12,0G0,0O0
but between 1S47 and 1887 about $780,
100000 were contributed to our stock OF
gold. OF this, nearly three-fourths came
from placers deposits. In 1850 So we Oh
tanned more than $50Y0O0,OOO per annum
in gold from the placers in California, ano
almost nothing from gold bearing veins
Now, with an annual production of $50,
100000 about one half only is from plsc
ers. Our own territory has been so thor
ouqhly explored that no considerable
superficial deposits of gold are likely TO
be discovered, and nearly the same thing
can be said of the entire world.
SIN the northern extension of our west
ern mountain ranges IN British Columbia
and Alaska there are probably important
deposits of gold. 1t is likely, however, to
come from this region in moderate but
perennial stream, and not in flood
Great difficulty Will attend the working of
those mines on account of the cold, long
winters and the difficulty in transporting
supplies. Unless the mines should prove
richer than expected there may be a
dearth of gold in the near future. In the
Allegheny belt of mountains, in this coun-
try, there are large deposits of gold, but
they are difficult to work. Still, industry
and perseverance, may make them pay a
profit. Mexico may be expected to turn
out $1,0O0,OOO year, but no more. The
west coast of South America yields little
but silver.
COLOMBIA, Venezuela and Brazil have,
on the countrray, always been producers
of gold. 1t is estimated that from Brazil
alone more than $1OOO,000 in gold were
obtained during the first 800 years after
the advent of the Portuguese. Colombia
aud Venezuela are now yielding about
100000 each annually, and little more
than that can be expected in the future.
Australia produces about S3O,OOO,OOO b
year, and we cannot hope for more than
S5,OO0,O00 from Asia. That will cover 1t
all. l don't fear that you and will ever
suffer from a famine of gold, but unless
the North American deposits are richer
than is expected some one will suffer"
