NATURES UNCHANeING SONG.

NATURES UNCHANGING SONG.
The goldfnch has for 5000 years been
singing "De-ree-dee-ee-ree." But these
sounds, which we put in harsh words,
they put in cadences, rhythmic, soulful
and enrapturing. Now if there is this
order and decentralization and rhythm
all through Gods creation does it not
imply that we should have the same
characteristics In the music we make or
try to make? Is it not q wickedness that
so many parents give no opportunity for
the culture OF their children in the art
of sweet sound? If God stoops to edu-
cate every bluebird, oriole and grosbeak
in song, how can parents be 30 indifer
ent about the musical development Of
the immortals in their household?
While God will accept our attempts to
sing, though 1t be only hum or drone.
If wecan do no better, what a shame that

fury, when so many orchestral batons
are waving and go many academies Of
music are in full concert, and 30 many
skilled men and women are waiting to
offer instruction there are SO many peo-
pie who cannot sing with any confidence
in the house of God because they have
had no culture in this sacred art, or
while they IRE able to sing o fantasia ut
piano amid the fiuttering fans Of social
admirers, nevertheless feel utterly help

The old fashioned countf school,
now much derided and CAT Ehred (and
indeed sometimes it was diverted from
the real design into the culture OF the
soft emotions rather than the voice.,
nevertheless did admirable work, and in
our churches we need singing schools to
prepare our Sabbath audiences for
prompt and spontaneous and multipo-
tent psalmody.. This world needs to be
.stofmed with halleluiahR.
We want hemisphere campaign of
5hosannas. From hearing blind beggar
sing Martin Luther went home at 40
years of age to write his first hymn. In
the autumn I hope TO have congrega-
tional singing school here during the
week which shall prepare the people for
the songs Of the holy Sabbath. If the
church: of God universal is going to take
this world for righteousness, there must
be added hundredfold Of more har-
mony as well as hundredfold of more
volume to sacred music.
Further, I notice In the song OF birds
that 1t is diytpely taught song. The
rarest prims donna of all the earth could
not teach the robin one musical note. A
kingfsher flying over the roof OF tenn

CAPT. ANDERSON and his hardy Vik-
ing crew, who were arrested in Brook
lyn, New York, for being drunk, by a
squad of policemen, evidently the
drunken of the two, were arraigned be-
fore Police Justice Light of that city
and of course dismissed. The arrest
was an outrage for which the mayor
apoIogized. The probabilities are that
all interested in the insult, including
Justice Light, will be dismissed from
the force. Light was coarse and brutal
and his dismissal from the police bench,
which he has disgraced, would but
poorly compensate that city for the IN
suit to OUT Viking visitors.

THE COPPER AGREEMENT NOT
RATIFIED.

James Lewis and Son in their June
report on ores and metals say: The ne
gotiations between European and Amer
lean producers for an extension of the
existing arrangements have not been
concluded, two Of the parties 80 the
American eeeemenu requiring an IN
creased production. One Of these is
Lake Superior company, asking for an
increase Of 1850 tons per aroum, and
the other represents the interests Of
two Montana companies, demanding
that any deficiency in the production
Of the one company should be allowed
to be made gocd by the other company.
It has however been decided u continue
the monthly mes tirgs Of the producers
on beth sides of the At 'antic, and make
returbs Of tie quantities produced, and
in course OF time II is hoped ts6t these
obstacles VIII be overcome; especially
as we are informed that the two chief
producers have ated that they vii
not make any increase upon the guam
tity already agreed upon, and that the
export IA ximum will not be exceeded.
1t is manifestly Sd much u the interest
OF all concerned that the present limi-
tation Of production should continue
giving stability to the trade, that il Wi

Of the United States, but from foreign
countries as well.
The people of the United States have
only just begun to realizs the import
ance OF irrigation to this couatry. The
available government land in the United
States, outside of the arid rayions, is
almost exhaust d. The tune is nearly
gone when Uncle IAN could give every
man farm. What is left is mostly in
the so called ''deseTt" regions-those
dry and forbidding stretches OF sage
brush and castIs-covered land, which
were long believed to be absolutely
worthless. hut which water, directed by
science, has in many cases transformed
into veritable Edens. 1t is TO these re-
gions that those Of the rising genera

Greeley's advice aud "go west must

irrigation development during the past

Postoffice Bcx Rents Reduced.

Box rents have been reduced from 81
to fifty cents per quarter: and the large
boxes, used by Gig firms, from 81 a
quarter to 81 a quarter.

error Hughes, report has it, is deter
mined t. appoint Hon. Tom Gates
superintendent OF the territorial prison
and his will will probably be law, but
then the fun commences. 1t is said that
the attorney general opposes the ap-

latter picks the penitentlary plum he
will have to fight an array of charges
that are calculated to befucdle much
stronger man. The governor has prom
ised him tie place that is sure. for Mr.
Gates has written evidence OF that fact,
and nothing now remains but the dellv-
ely of the goods, which will take place
early this coming month. We know

ton TO him. but We do know that unless

From Nogales comes reports that
Sam Webb is having a time of it to
secure the deputy collectorship there
fer one Of his appointees. The story
reaching here Of the affair is that j. S.
Harding, of this city, appointed to the
position by ex-Collector Geo. Christ,
is willing to continue the responsibilities
and emoluments of the Office. Also
that Mr.. Webb would not refuse his
resignation. Mr.. Hardibg makes several
claims, it is told, In defense of the stand
he has taken. One is that he passed
cIvil-sarvice examination, and that he is
therefore entitled to hold on, though
kindoms fall and administrations
change. He also says, or it is said he
says, that as an old soldier and pen
siouer he is given an extra cinch on the
office. The CITIZENS authority for the
foregoing is only report, but one thing
is certain: Webb has besp at Ncgales
for some time and Harding has not yet
