SENATOR HILL’S LETTER. THE SONGS OF BIRDS. He Churj-es Thut Ills Views on Silver Were Uurbleil Albany, Juno 20.—Senator Hill was asked in reference to a recent letter on the silver question purporting to have been sent him from Albany to the pres ident of the board of trade at Cincin nati. Senator Hill statoil thnt ho had written no letter to Cincinnati upon the silver question or any otlior question, but that upon a request from Mr. Dolph, president of the hoard of trado of that city, for his views upon tno Xnancial question he had caused his clerk to forward Mr. Dolph a printed copy of his remarks upon his bill for the repeal of tho Sherman law, deliver ed in the tho senate in February last. Tho seiintor stated that his sentiments wero expressed in thnt speech. Instead of publishing the simple letter from his clerk, Mr. Dolph had assumed the lib erty of making extracts from the speech and sent them out to the public in a garbled and inaccurate Btate as a recent lotter to him upon the financial ques tion. Senator Hill hns all along de clined to bo interviewed upon tho ques tion, saying that ho bad fully expressed his sentiments .in the senate, and had nothing now to add to or retract from "LIZZIE BORDEN’S LETTERS. Overwhelmed With tlie Corre»p»ndenfx From All l*»rte of llio Country. Fall River. Mass., June 20.—Lizzie Borden’s daily mail is something extra ordinary.

A great many of the letters come from the Christian Eli deavor nnd Woman’s Christian Temper ance Union societies throughout tho country, noarlv all of the largo cities being represented. The girls have not stirred out since their arrival homo, but are kept busy receiving callers. Marshal Hilliard and Mayor Cougli- lan are receiving some astonishing let ters, most of them being of the dirtiest and most villifying character. One lotter received from Lowell would cost the writer a sound thrashing if tho marshal could lay hands on him. Among the curiosities he has received is a largo leather medal from New York state. An Unfortunate remdoner. Milan, Tenn., June 26.—John W. Gordon was killed below Lexington by a train. Thirty years ago Gordon was convicted of murder nnd sentenced to life imprisonment.

Sing of Love nnd Hope nnd Family Lire, and tlie Sea.on Is Nmv Here to Learn of Them—Marvelous Melody In Nature. Brooklyn, June 25.—Rev. Dr. Tal- niage this morning chose for tho subject of his sermon “Tho Song of Birds.” This, liko many of liia sermons, is suited to the season of the year in which it ia preached. It la well fitted to lie read un der the trees nnd has in it the health of outdoor life. Text, Psalms, civ, 12, “By them shall tho fowls of tho heaven have their habitation, which sing among the brunches." There is nn important and improving subject to which most people have given no thought and concerning which this is the first pulpit discussion—namely, “Tho Song of Birds." If all that has been written concerning music by hu man voice or about music sounded on instrument by finger or breath wore put together, volume by the side of volume, it would fill a hundred alcoves of the national libraries. But about the song of birds there is as much silcnco us though n thousand years ago tho lust lark had with his wing swept tho door latch of heaven and as though never a whippoorwill hail sung its lullaby to a slumbering forest nt nightfall. Wo give a passing smile to tho call of a bobolink or tho chirp of a canary, but about tho origin, about tho fiber, about tho meaning, about the mirth, about tho pathos, about tho in spiration, about the religion in tho song of birds tho most of us aro either igno rant or indifferent. A caveat I ibis morn ing llio in tho high court of heaven Igainst that almost universal irreligion. First, I remark that which will sur prise many, that the song of birds is n regulated and systematic song, cnpablo of being written out in note and staff and bar and clef as much as anything that Wagner or Schumann or Handel over put on paper. As wo pass the grove where tho flocks nro holding matin or vesjier service we nro apt to think that tlie sounds nro extemporiz f 'd, tho rising or fulling touo is a mere accident, it is flung up and down by haphazard, the bird did not know what it was doing, it did not enro whether it was a long meter psalm or a madrigal. What a mistake! The musician never put on the music rack before him Mendelssohn^ “Elijah" inite idea us to wlmt ho was doing than every bird that can Bing nt all confines himself to accurate and predetermined rendering. The oratorios, tho chants, the carols, tho overtures, tlie interludes, the ballads, tho eautides that this morn ing woro heard or will this evening be heard in tho forest have rolled down through tho ages without a variation. Even tho chipmunk’s song was ordained clenr back in tho eternities. At the gates of paradise it sang in sounds like the syllables “Kukl” “Kuk!" “Kuk!” just as- this morning in a Long Island or chard it sang “Kuk!” “Kuk!" "Knk!" The thrush at tho creation uttered sounds liko tho word “Teacher!” “Teach er!" “Teacher!” as now it uttors sounds liko “Teacher!” "Teacher!” "Teucherl” In the summer of tho year 1 tho yel- lowhammer trilled that which sounded liko “If!” “If!” “If!” as in this summer it trills “If!” “If!” “If!” Tho Maryland yellowthroat inherits and bequeaths tho tune sounding liko the words “Pity me, pity me, pity me!" The white sparrow’s "Tseep, tseep” woke our great grandfa thers as it will awaken our great grand children. The “Tee-ka-teo-ka-tee-ku” of tho birds in tho first century was the same as tho “Tee-ka-tee-ka-tee-ka” of the nineteenth century. nature’s unchanging song. The goldfinch has for 0,000 years been singing "De-reo-dee-eo-ree." But these sounds, which we put in harsh words, they put in cadences, rhythmic, soulful anil enrapturing. Now if there is this order and systematization and rhythm all through God’s creation does it not imply that wo should have the same characteristics in the music wo make or try to make? Is it not a 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 so indiffer ent about tho musical development of tho immortals in their household? While G od will accept our attempts to sing, though it be only a hum or a drone, if we can do no better, what a shame that in this last decade of tho nineteenth cen tury, when so many orchestral batons are waving and so many academies of music aro in full concert, and so many skilled men and women aro waiting to offer instruction there are so many peo ple who cannot sing with any confidence in the house of God because they have had no culture iu this sacred art, or while they aro able to sing a fantasia at a piano amid the fluttering fans of social admirers, nevertheless feel utterly help less when in church the surges of an “Ariel” or an "Antioch” roll over them. The old fashioned country singing school, now much derided and caricatured (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 stormed with halleluiahs. Wo want a hemispheric campaign of hosannas. From hearing a blind beggar sing Martin Luther went home at 40 years of age to write his first hymn. In the autumn I hopo to have a 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 a hundredfold of more bar- (.Continued on Fourth Page.) Mr. Chits. N.
