By MAURICE THOMPSON.
A flute cut from the Aulocrene
And touched by Marsyas' lips of old.
A sweet Cremons violin,
A lutte Of Lesbos strung with gold.
A maid to pun her cheeks and blow
Into the flute, and one TO fling
Loves very essence from the bow,
And one for def lutte lingering.
What shall the tune be? All, you know
That melody which ran between
Ripe, passionate lips SO long ago
When Sappho sang in Mytilene.
A Paphiam dream, an Orphic tone.
A watt from blue Hesperides.
And into sterile flowers blown
The anther dust OF centuries.
The mood comes on a rosy mist,
A film, q silken soft cocoon
Draws round me and my lips are kissed
With morning sweets midst afternoon |!
A leathern bottle OF rare wine,
A drinking horn with amber mouth,
A soothing wind, perfumes divine
And boscage Of the musty south.
A glimpse of siimmering summer seq
Whereon the white sails come and 20.
A pipe and pouch, and then-Ah, me!
A tale from old Boccaccio!

a NesO Method of Raising PO-
f0fOeS,

Some of our farmers have adopted O
different mode of raising potatoes to
what they formerly did. We will state
the plan for the benefit of those who
have never tried. The ground is pre-
pared as usual, the potatoes drilled or
dropped in hills as preferred and then
covered with straw to a depth of four or
five inches; we prefer slight covering
of earth before the straw is put on; some
do not, as the straw will heep the earth
moist and drouth does not affect them
so much, as it saves cultivation; all you
have to do when they mature is to re-
move the straw and gather your pota-
toes, unless the potato bugs attack your
vines and then you will have war with
the pests. We would advise our farmer
friends who have never tried this plan
and have the straw 10 spare to give it a
tria. We believe it will doubly repay
them for their labor.-[ Westminster

THE Freshmen of Williams College
hired a carriage on Wednesday and
went to the depot at WIlliamstown in a
body to welcome home some of their
members who had been suspended ior a
few weeks. The boys became very
much excited as the train approached,
and, procuring rope, took out tire
horses and dragged the returning stu
dents through the town. The whole
college met the procession on Main
street, and a general horn blowing en-
sued. L. is asserted by the Freshmen
that they had no horns and intended to
make no disturbance nor show any dis
respect % the faculty, but simply indi-
cate their pleasure at their comrades re-
turn. The professors are very angry
that such thing should have occurred,
bnt no action will be taken by them
until DR.. Chadbourne returns to town.
Should the faculty suspend again or
expel any of the students who have just
received such an enthusiastic reception
there may be some sturbance.

Grant Stock Raising and Blaine
Falling.

Washington Special to the Chicago Tines
The news from Springfield, yester-
day, and the private dispatches that
nave dropped in during the day have
had a very good effect upon the Grant
market. Don Cameron was especially
smiling and happy. lie said to his
friends that there would be no trouble
now in holding the Pennsylvania del
egation. Blaine was in his seat il the
senate, to-day for the first time in
several weeks, He was accompanied
back to Washington by William i.
Chandler. Mr.. Blaine was very
quiet to-day, and had very little ia
say to senators. He devoted himself
to writing at his desk in as Indifferent
a fashion as if the Springfield conven-
tion were not in existence. Rlaine's
stock was never at a lower ebb than il
is now. A member of the California
delegation to the Chicago convention
who is here in the city, says that since
he has come east he has become con-
WINGED that Blaine has no chance.
One or two Michigan delegates, who
are enthusiastic Blaine men, are in
the city, and they express the same
views. The change of opinion about
the choice of the Chicago convention
has been very marked within the last
two days. Grants chances have never
been more favorably considered at the
national capital than now.

Financial circles afford little oppor-
tunity for comment. The situation
throughout the country is extremely
easy, and in all leading markets a
large volume Of idle capital is report
ed, while productive investments
command higher prices. Realty and
other property heretofore stagnant, is
looking up to a considerable degree.
On the other hand, general merchan-
disc and consumptive articles incline
toward cheaper prices. Iron and
metals, breadstuffs, hardware, drugs,
wool, meats, and many other leading
items, are either droopy in price or
actually lower, and no speculative
movement prevails in any line except
cotton futures. Even this staple has
experienced a long period of inactiv-
ity. The prospect, however, while no
activity is anticipated until the early
fall, is not at all discouraging. Money
is in abundant supply and can be had
at cheap rates Of interest. There is
more idle than usual, and while no
variation is noted in mercantile dis
counts, yet liberal shipments of cur
rency are moving eastward with a
view of placing it where a little may
be earned. The limited offerings Of
commercial paper here are readily
taken at s per cent, while outside Of
the usual l%oaning institutions, the
interest ranges from 6 to 10 per cent.
Exchange is moving in much re-
duced volume. Rates are unchangedat
$1.25 per thousand for eastern cotton
bills, and $3.50 per thousand if carry
ing grace. New York checks are sold
at fc premium. OnNew Orleans bills
are taken at 10 off and selling rates
are par.
In eastern markets silver trade
dollars are quoted at from 994 to 99i
each, and Mexicans at SO to 80, while
five franc pieces are So to 95. There
is no movement in either here, though
inquiries as to their value are fire..
quent. The last quotation for silver
cabled from London, was 50 3-16d pei
ounce, making the American standard
silver dollar worth there 999se.
Uncurrent securities, railways stocks
and scrips, local and otherwise, have
looked up considerably during the
past week, and the tendency is strong
with all productive and prompt in
terest paying in active demand. The
