THE VOICES OF EARTH.

We have not heard the music of the spheres
The song Of star to star; but there ar,
sounds
More deep than human joy or human tears
That nature uses in her common rounds;
The fall of streams, the cry of winds that
strain
The oak, the roaring of the seas surge,
might
OF thunder breaking afar off, or rain
That falls by minutes in the summer night.
These are the voices of earth's secret soul,
Uttering the mystery from which she car
To him who hears them grief hey ond control,
orjoy inscrutable without a name
Wakes in his heart thoughts buried there,
impearled
Before the birth and making of the world.

An Interesting Calculation.

A curious and interesting calculation
has been made by Professor Rogers of
Washington, d. c., on the dynamic
power of coal. According to the pro-
fessor single pound of good steam coal
has within it dynamic power equivalent
to the work of one man for one day.
Three tons of the same coal represent a
mans labor for period of twenty years,
and one square mile of u seam of coal,
having depth of four feet only, repre-
sents as much work as 100000 men
can perform in twenty years.-LSan

Water an Anesthetic.

A rather remarkable discovery has Just
been made by DIR. G. l.. SLEIGH, of Ber-
lin, Germany. He was conducting ex-
periments with view to determine how
weak solution of cocoaine would prove
efficacious us local anasthetic in minor
surgical operations, when he stumbled on
the fact that simple water injected under
the skin with syringe rendered the flesh
at that point insensible to pain.
The effect of the water is to create a
slight swelling resembling that caused by
the sting of gnat. The space marked
by the swelling remains insensible to
pain for some minutes, 80 that incisions
can be made without causing the slight
est pain. The method Of procedure is
very simple. The skin at the point
where the injection is to be made is first
made perfectly aseptic, then the point of
Pravaz syringe filled with distilled
water is inserted. The syringe is slowly
emptied, and a white blister appears,
similar to that caused by gnat's sting.
The size of the swelling will depend upon
the amount of water used. A half min
ute after the syringe is withdrawn, the
space distinctly marked by the blister is
insensible, and can be cut into without
causing pain. The pain caused by the
insertion of the syringe can be at once
allayed by spraying with ether.
To what extent this novel discovery
will prove of practical worth in surgery
cannot yet be determined DIR. SLEIGH
made use of it in the case of huge car
buncle on the upper thigh. After the in
lection of water the doctor laid the car
buncle open by cross incisions eight
centimeters in length, and scooped out
the dead tissue, the patient declaring
that the operation gave slight pain. This
treatment has no ill-effect on the healing
of the wound. In the case mentioned tho
cuts at once reunited and healed per-
/. fectly.

The Report of Gen. Kautz--His
recommendation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.--Ihe commissioners
Of Indian affairs has written letter to Dr..
Dorchester, superintendent of Indian
schools, inRtruoting him to visit the con-
tract schools and subject them to the same
thorough inspection made in government
schools. The superintendent is also TO
make special inquiries into tho char
acter and qualifications Of employees
of contract schools, compare the course
Of study with that in government schools,
and point out any defects or superiority.
The commissioner says it is the purpose to
promote pupils where it is found the course
of study is defective or the facilities for in
dustrial training wanting, or If for other
reasons pupils cannot receive as good
equipment for life in contract schools
as in government schools The COM
missioner also says: "You will say,
distinctly and emphatically, to all persons
connected with contract schools. that when
ever it is found by this Office that those in
charge of these schools, or those whom they
s.nd to reservations to procure pupils, or
| those who are in anywise directly connected
with these institutions, are using their in-
tiuenoe against government schools
by advising pupils to stay away, by
advising parents to withhold children, by
government. in any way, directly or indi-
rectly. that they will be held strictly
responsible for it. and if the necessity
comes--which hope it will not-the Office
will not hesitate to annul the contract with
| such institutions of learning"

Unless the Ko0tenai Indians are Cared
For-The Army Service.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.--Brig. Gen. Kautz,
commanding the department of the Colum-
bia in his annual report, speaks of repeated
troubles between Indians and white settlers
in the Kootenai river country. The Indians
in that section are unprovided with an
agent and seem to have no one to look to
for aid or counsel. Gen. Kautz says in the
near future great increase in the number
or settlers will precede the building OF the
Great N orthern railroad and trouble will fol-
low unless some provision is made in antici-
patton. In closing his report, Gen. .Kautz says
he regards the highest duty of our small
armv in time of peace to be the acquisition
and dissemination of military knowledge
among the people. Recruits for the army
should be obtained from the young, ambi-
tious and energetic sons of patriotic citi-
zens, and the army should cease to be
refuge for the inefficient, indolent and wan
dering element of the country. Recruits
should be furnished from all parts Of the
union in proportion to population. to serve,
be returned to their homes to serve as ofii-
GERS in event of war and instruc-
tors for state military organiza-
tions in time of peace. The sup.
port of the government to this end would
raise the standing OF enlisted men at once
to one of respectability and secure the
enlistment of proper material. which can
not now be obtained in view of the low
estimation the average civilian entertains
for the soldier in time of peace. 1T would
also," says Gen. Kautz, give distinctive
and republican character to our army, which
regard as very essential. Under our
form of government we cannot hope to
popularize the army SO long as We ape the
methods and details of European armiea,
and there is no necessity for SO doing"

P1TTsnuna Oct. 12.--At to.day's session
of the national prison congress Francis
Wayland made an address OH "How shall
the children of vicious or cruel parents be
prevented from becoming criminais."
When he concluded his address the aues-
tion was discussed in a formal manner.
After this was finished very interesting
talk was given by g. W. Round, OF New
York, who denounced the influence OF
reformatories. There was much interest
ing discussion ON the subject of the influ-
enoe OF roformatories. Judge Brinkerhof,
Of Mansfield, Ohio. said the talk about .
tories is bosh. II an institution is properly
managed seven per cent. OF those
released from it are made good citizens. A
number of short addresses were then made
against the INCORPORATION of children. In
the course of the discussion Father Neyln,
Of Pittsburg, said if the homes can be
reached and the fathers and mothers u
fused with the spirit Of Christianity there
will be no need OF penal institutions for the
youth. "Ihere 10 no morality without re-
liRion." At this junctnre Warden Patten,
OF Indiana, asked whether the child should
be taught that the laws of the church or
state should stand supreme i'll the teach

the child its duty to the church and II has
already learned its duty to the state" This
reply was received with great applause.
At the evening session Warden Cassidy,
of the Eastern penitentiary, Philadslphia,
read a paper on his Impressions of the pris-
ons of England, Ireland, France and Bel
GUM, dealing with the different conditions
prevailing in those countries, etc. he was
under the impression that the ticket-of-
leave system in Ireland--parole, as it is
called in the United States-has not pro-
duced the results its projectors expected.
Warden Patterson, of the New Jersey
prison, read lengthy paper on the parole

LONDON, OCT. 12.-Mr. Parnells parlia-

ing manifesto: "Irsland has lost hel
leader, but her cause remains-duty to the
living and dead; to maintain, erect and un-
sullied, the flag of national independence.
You people of ireland gave into the hands
your political interests and honor and the
safety of the national cause. You
asked US by constitutional means
to restore prosperity, peace and freedom
to our country, and animated by
his spirit, guided by his clear intelligence
and firmness of soul, we carried the cause
to the point at which the token of victory
could be seen by all; but. in an unfortunate
hour, majority of Irish representatives,
at the bidding of English statesman,
broke our ranks. abandoned the flag of in
dependent opposition, and ranged them
selves as followers aud satellites of tho
British statesmen. We refused to become
national conviction, and maintained intact
allegiance to the independent national
party. in the conviction that the people
would Justify and support us, The great
leader is dead, but the cause lives on.
Relying on your devotion to Irish nation
ality, we propose to carry on the struggle
until the principles for which he lived and
died triumph and national unity is restored.
The parliamentary party is pledged to work
for Ireland under the flag of independent
opposition, absolutely free from the control
of any foreign power or party. This is our
resolution. It's realization depends upon
you. 1t involves sacrifices and struggles,
and we call upon you to make them. True
to the principle that we are the instruments
of the people, We have resolved to call a
convention of representative Irish to dis
cuss in the name of the nation the means
whereby to Garry out tho policy and pro-
gramme he bequeathed in dying. 10 the
ranks we welcome Ill men who believe tho
political affairs of Ireland should be con-
trolled and directed by representatives of
the Irish people alone, but with men who
are Immediately responsible for the disrup-
ture of his public life we must fight on
still. Fellow countrymen, let 1T be the
glory of our race at home and abroad to
act up to the spirit of this message, God

A NEW CREED.


Or the Restntement of the Old One, Fa-

AsAcosDA, Oct. 12.-[Spccial. Tho fall
meeting Of the Montana presbytery closed
it's session here tonight. The business
transacted to-cny was somewhat important.
A committee was appointed to report at the
next meeting upon the proposal to divide
the Montana presbytery into two presby-
teries, the main range of the Rocky noun
tains to be, as near as possible, tho dividing
line. The presbytery refused to sanction
the report of the general assembly's COM
mittee on the revision OF the confession OF
faith. and declared itself, by unanimous
vote, in favor of q new creed on
the basis of the new English
Presbyterian church creed. Reports OF
churches at Boulder Valley, Deer Lodge,
Ashley, Kalispel, Helena. Dillon, Hamilton,
Miles City, Butte, Philbrook. Lewiston,
Granite and Great Falls we're presented and
showed all prospering finely. Rev. L. ".
Moore, chairman Of tho standing commit
tee on home missions, read an interesting
report on the work of the past year and sur
veyed the new fields that might be opened
for church work. The presbytery declared
-
synodical missionary whose whole time
would be devoted to the church in Mon
tana. BY the present arrangement DR..
Wishard, as missionary, has charge Of Mon
tana, Utah and Idaho. The matter was
handed up to the board of home missions
to deal with.
The report of the trustees of the Bozeman
academy was presented by DR.. Waters and
it gave most encouraging account of the
work of that popular institution. Fl. A.
Bradford, candidate for the ministry, was
examined, and, having passed creditably,
it was decided to license him to preach for
one year within the bounds of the Montana
presbytery.
Rev. A. q. Mcmillan read an interesting
paper on the subject of weekly prayer
meetings. Helena was selected as the place
for the next regular meeting of the presby-
terry in the spring of 1892, 1t was decided
to open new church in Philipsburg. After
the usual complimentary votes to retiring
officers and to the people of Anaconda fol
entertainment the presbytery adjourned.

LONDON, OCT. 12.-T. p. O'Connor, mem
Der Of parliament, In an interview to-day
regarding the situation in Irish parliamen-
tary affairs, said: "rhe strongest desire Of
the majority 10 not TO stand between the
nation and the restoration of unity. With
this object in view many meetings, includ-
ing an important convention which was to
have been held in Cork, have been post
poned. We propose to show our profound
respect and grief in tho most emphatic
manner. Among the political opponents of
Parnell we're men whose affection for him
personally was as deep and warm az that of
those who felt it to be their duty to stand
by him." Concerning the chances of the
reunion of Irish parties O'Connor said:
''This is not the time to discuss the ques-
tion. 1t WAS anticipated from the first
that the vehemence of their grief over
their lost leader would lead Parnelps sup
porters into state Of temper in which
reason would be blinded by affection,
and they would see in the political
opposition to Parnell jealousy and private
hatred. All that happened tended to rsal-
ize this view of the case, but l believe this
stage Of unreason will pass away, while sor-
row for the loss Of Parnell will remain.
The deoency and order which prevailed at
the vast funeral yesterday, in spite of the
terrible appeals made to disorder and pas
sion, were welcome sign that the Irish
people would be ready in due time to con-
slider the political situation calmly and to
again be united in final struggle for theil
liberties. ''Thero is no difference in their
political principles. Both factions are con-
WINGED that the Irish party should be abso-
lutely independent of all English parties
and statesmen, and that no Irish national.
ist can accept place or pay from an EnRlist
