FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
A FASHIONABLE LADY.
L-oPKEIEa DAT.

l--oPKEIEd DAT.
Scarcely walked up In the morning,
Is the Lady Dandelion,
When q little yellow bonnet,
Gaily she begins to try on.
Such a coronet of ffinges
1fIs-such glow Of color
Even the gold upon the plumage
Qfthe oriole Is duller.
All she cares for lie the fashion;
For she waits not to see whether
II IL timely a. to season,
Or lie proper as TO weather.
She was born TO lead and dazzle,
And her followers will be plenty,
And because of that one little
Yellow bonnet, there'n be twenty.
IL-cLosE OF THE SEASON.
Scarce a week has scattered sunshine
On the Lady Dandelion,
When little snowy head-dress
Gravely abe begins to tie on.
II looks quite as IL fairy
In frolic had begun il;
Or as If a nimble spider
In busy mood had spun 1t.
All, see old Time is busy
With this stylish little lady;
Rufied Ehite-cap is a night-capl
She is past her beauty's hey-day.
Nothing now she cares for fashion;
All she asks a bed to die on.
Blows gust and in q moment
Gone Is Lady Dandelion.

faith in the honesty, integrity and exalted
patriotism of Samaei J. Tilden and Thomas A.

as to who shall receive the nomination of the
Democratic party at Cincinnati, and this con-
vention RENTS to the convention rs soon

further declarations of principles,
with the addition that the Democracy of Mis-

which, for the first time in our
natioual hist ,ry a candidate not elected at the
polls and receiving neither majority OF the
popular or electoral vote, was inaugurated.
Second, that as in the past 30 in the future,
we are in favor of what is known as the two

You would of course accept the nomination?

Fire this Morning.

The alarm of fire from box No. Z at lao
o'clock this morning was caused by the, ,discov-
ery of flames issuing from an unoccupied
building situated in the rear of the first III. E.
church on West Third street. The building
has not been tenanted for years, and the fire
undoubtedly originated from the work of
tramps. At one time the flames threatened to
communicate to the adjoining property, and
disastrous consequences were averted by the
v;oorous work of the department. The build
ing was partially saved. 1t is said to belong
to the church.

CHICAGO, May 26.-Monkey and parrott say:
Cables higher all around, but the start off was
with the room full of rumors of some terrible
disaster; gang busted, Keene selling stocks to
protect his wheat interests; Keene refusing to
put up further margins on hand and God
knows what else. This had the effect to stop
what would have been bull day. have tel
egraphed East and West for news and 1t all
comes the same way, everything lovely and no
trouble heard off, go it is out of pure cussed-
ness that the reports state. However,

Notwithstanding millions have been
bought it will have to run its course.
Opening $1.061S bid, and very large
sales to $1.06 June, $1.02A July,
but when lightning struck the boys
there was no fooling until June sold at
$l.O21z and July at 99M. Very seldom in the
trade would you see as much excitement. The
break from 4 to 21Sc was so rapid that it
made ones hair curl. The gang brokers came
in. but they were filed up quicker than cat
could lick her tail. Then fresh batch would
go off filed. The result is We are not any
nearer Canaan than when we started this morn
ing. Where this thing will end no man can
find out. The pressure of sales seemed to be
on the June option and where 1t sold at DC
above July on yesterday and at times, has been
only 10 above to-day. Many of our solid COM
mercial firms think both June and July are
low enough and on a Legitimate value for ex-
port, yet they cannot tell what
wind options may carry prices to snd
are waiting for low bridge. Closing
Juue l.0555s5, July 1.0O14. May has been largely
dealt in to-day, and prices almost unchanged,
opening 81 AZ, closing $1.1s1s. The dealing
in this option is entirely in settlement, and if
the short boys don't step to the hight liyeller
than they have to-day there will be large

ment on this months deal The boss wants it
