I care not for Spring; on his fekle wing

He'll smile in your face. and. with wry grimace.
He'll wither your youngest flower.
Let the Summer sun To his bright home run,
lie shall never be sought by me:
when he's dimmed by a cloud can laugh aloud,
And care not how sulky he bel

Song and Maid.

poet toiled over a song for the maid
Who bad plighted her troth to him.
And he leaned and wrOte in the gathering shade
Till his eyes were dim.
But the maiden strolled on the distant beach.
And listed another's tender speech.
The poet sang of her love-lit eye,
So softly and deeply blue:
How its soulful gaze, half arch, half shy.
He only knew.
But the. maids blue eyes were shedding their
light
On the faee of a tall. dark man that night.
He sang of her hand 50 white and fair.
And THE ring" he sang. THAT is cleaning
Binds her to me-"
But the maid to her tall companion said.
This ring? tits the gift of a friend that's dead
He sang of her white and dewy lips.
They roses before they blew:
And the taste of the nectar that from them dr1ps.
/. only, know.
But the maid as she walked in the moonlight's
mist.
Lifted her face and was lovingly kissed.
He sang of her voice, 1T is sweet and clear,
AS the voice of the gentle dove,
So tender that alone can hear
Her words of love-"
But the maiden whispered to one by the sea.
" I love thee, darling, and only thee"
Ah, poet finish our last strain,
You aIe Wrinsinr besrt 1itb btteT paip
Yet helping to laurel a brow with fame.
For out of tn depths of a master woe.
And through the valley of dark despair.
The soul of singer must grope and go
Ere he wear the purple true poets wear.

Final Settlement of the Contest for Possess
sion of the Paper.
The fight is over, and the Administra-
ton has got the Tribune, body and
breeches. Whitelaw Reid made gal
liant fight, but Sinclair, backed by green
backs, proved too much for him, and
the Tribune is once more, Thomas Mast
to the contrary Notwithstanding, an
organ. On Friday the trustees held
meeting. Six were earnestly in favor of
the retention of Reid as managing
editor. Sinclair declared in favor of
Colfax. During the progress of the
meeting a discussion took place between
Reid and Sinclair, of an intensely bitter
and personal character. Among the
charges made by Reid was one to the
effect that Sinclair had strongly urged
Greeley's canoidature when everybody
else in interest opposed it. Reid offered
to pay in cash $4,000 for the 32 shares
which Sinclair owns or controls, claim
| ing at the same time that by the rules
governing the Tribune association, SIM
clair was bound to sell to stockholders
| in preference to outsiders. Sinclair re-
marked that the rule in question could
not be enforced by law. Reid replied
that perhaps that was so, but reminded
| Sinclair that he had abided by the ar
rangement for some 20 years. Sinclair
responded that, situated as he was at
present, and in view of pledges he had
made, he couldn't abide by it now, and
there the discussion ended. To day
Sinclair received check from William
Orton for $4,000, the price of 81
shares. Subsequently Reid had an in
terview with Sinclair, and offered 1885,
600 for 80 shares, an advance of $4,000
on the par value of the stock. Sinclair
refused the offer. Reid then said he
was authorized to offer Sinclair for sale
the shares owned by Messrs. Rocker
4 Hay, Ripley, Fitzpatrick, Cleveland, and
others, and Sinclair Immediately SAT
down and drew checks in favor of those
gentlemen for the amount of stock held
! by each. Later in the day Reid called
into his room Hazard, and Shanks, city
editor, and informed them of the posi-
, ton of affairs, telling them that 1t wa
the wish of the new management tna
r, they should continue their connection
with the paper, Mr.. Hazard in thu
capacity of managing editor. Mr.. Rex
! urged upon them to spare no exertlol
) to make good paper. With this MI
, Reid's connection with the Tribune ha
ceased. Sinclair denies that he was tn
only stockholder in favor Il Greeley

C opposed was Mr.. Rooker.-Ne'0 foT

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
The result of the vote in the Electoral
College is now known. The Electors in
the seven States that voted for Greeley
and Brown at the polls acted without
any unanimity, and many voted on
their own hook. The vote for Presi-
dent in these States was thus divided !:
Greeley, 8; B. Gratz Brown, "a; T. A.
Hendricks, AZ; G. J. Jenkins, 2; David
Davis, l; blank, 8. For Vice-President
the vote was divided: Brown, SIS; N.
P. Banks, 7; G. W. Julian, 5; A. q.
Colquit, 5; J. NJ. Palmer, 8; T. E. Bram-
lette, 8; W. s. Groesbeck, 1; W: B.
the Greeley and Brown ticket refused
to vote for Brown either for President
or Vice-President-a case without prece-
dent in the history of Presidential cleo
