In the crowded city street.

Solitary, sad. detected,
Stands with violin in hand
One BY fame and fortune slighted,
One Of 0rpheus' scattered band
Scattered, but in heart united
Now, with tears, he turns away:
When a passing stranger fingers
Begs his violin TO play
Sways the chords with jewciled fingers.
While the thrilling tones that rise
Stop the teeminC tide of traffic,
As the genius in disguise
Moves tAeir souls with sounds seraphic.
And the scorned one, scorned so long,
Reaps with gratitude and gladness,
All the harvest that the thropg
Shower in storms of gleeful madness.
All, sometimes, too, when the bard
Silent sad. ia slowly turning
From the world, whose cold regard
Wears his heart with wasted yearning;
From the realm Of greater souls
Flies to touch the lips that falter,
Some bright seraph, with the Goals
Caught from An immortal altar.

While he sings, with genius fired.

The great centre of interest about the Fifth

conference committees appointed by the two ele
ments in the party to arrange for q harmonious
Convention. Early i'll the day the leaders on both
sides came together and agreed that these conference
committees should be appointed. The anti-Conk-

named to represent them Senator Miller, Judge

TALKS ABOUT CANDIDATES AND CONVENTION
OFFICERS.
State Senator Pitts, of Rochester. said yesterday
he thought that the result of the Convention
would be very satisfactory to the people. He did
not SEQ how anything could be gained by forcing
an issue with the President at this time. IN reply
to question as to what the Republicans OF his DIS
trct thought of President Arthurs Administration,
he said that all of the Garfield Republicans were
ready and very desirous of forgetting all past
issues for the sake of giving President Arthur
fair chance: that they did not want to hamper him
in any way and were ready to support his Admins
tration i'll every way possible. Mr. Pitts thought
that Acknowledgement Ward would he renOminateJ,
although he had heard that 1T was likely that other
names would be presented.
State Senator Lynde of the st. Lawrence Dis
trct said: at my opinion that the result OF the
Convention will be harmony. do not mean that
