was compelled to wait four hours for train
at railroad junction in Texas The station
was mere shed and the rain was falling in
torrents. In few minutes the floor of the
depot was covered with water and the agent
marched the dripping performers to a hotel
near by. The colored men waited outside
while the agent went in to negotiate. Ad-
dressing the landlord the agent said :" I have
a lot of colored performers ont in the rain and
| want to bring them in here until the train
arrives What p shriekcd the landlord.
ooh, will pay you twenty-five cents a
head, said the agent
Couldn't think of that"
"Then, I'll give you fifty cents" urged the
agent.
"Why, look here, stranger, wouldn't let
them niggers sit around this office for fifty
dollars head. No, stree. If | did, I'd
never get another white man inside this
house."
"This was final" said Mr. Welsh, "and the

A Very Complicated Contest Coming On in the
Illinois Legislature
A Very Pleasant Prospect for the Present
Vice President.
.Special LeMer.

Special letter.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Dec. 23.--It is moi
possible at this time to say who will be se
lccted by the legislature of this state to sue
ueed David Davis, but it is moderately certain
that none of the men most prominent now
will succeed and great many things might
happen that would create more surprise than
a reelection of Davis himself Gov. Culom
has larger number Of votes pledged to hin,
than any other candidate has, but he is be.
licved to have strained his last nerve. and
yet lacks fifteen or sixteen of enough to run
the joint caucus. The majority in the legs-
lature is so small that it will be necessary not
only to run the caucus, but to have the caucus
run the members and this will not be so easily
done as it has been in years past, because the
fight has developed some of the most bitter
antagonisms ever known in Illinois politics
Even if Culom had n majority of the caucus,
ii is doubtful whether he could get the party
vote in the house. There are five or six
members who were elected under positive
pledges that they would not vote for him in
any contingency. If he should secure the
nomination and then be beaten his friends
(who are very rancorOusJ would inevitably
knife anybody these men might favor; so that
between them all, unless some compromise
candidate should be brought forward very
carly HlltT lne nTedK VI lllueCu IL came TO Il
break, there will be a free fight. In
such a contingency David Davis would
be the only available man. He is
popular in the state more than ever
before and indeed there is feeling that il
would be unwise to change so creditable a
representation as Illinois now has in the
United States senate. The democratic mem
bers would vote for him, and enough of the
republicans who could not get their own ia
vOrites in would join them to give Judge
Davis an easy and large majority. This is
not given us u prophecy, but as probability.
Raum, Rinaker, Oglesby, and two or three
other gentlemen have hopes, and one or an
other of them may possibly make it. Nobody
can tell what trading will be done after the
legislature convencs. There is Il prospect that
the candidates will be about as numerous as
the members. 1t is always so where dense
uncertainty hangs over the prize. Gen
Henderson is on the ground with his light
ming rod up. Andrew Shuman, editor of the
Chicago journal, and ex-ieutcnant governor
has bought a mule John Hamilton, the
present lieutenant governor, is dark stork
and at the tail of the procession comes
Thomas, congressman from the twenty-first
district, who stands as much chance as Bill

through their columns they had published

A KISS.

Twas but touch from lips whose rare ripe crimso
Had stolen all the summer roses bloom,
But yielded back in fragrant, balmy breathing,
Their subtitle, sweet perfume.
Twas but glance, one exquisite, brief instant,
Two liquid, dreamy eyes gazed full in mine,
Then quickly fell their sllken frnged curtains.
Yelling their splendOr, lustrous, dark, divine!
My arm held close the slender grlish figure,
The waist as Aexile as a willow wand,
While on my shoulder like dimpled snowflake,
She shyly laid little, trembling hand.
And then.for one brief exquisite half second,
Two roseate velvet lips were pressed to mine,
And from their dewy brink quaiied delicious,
Intoxicating draughts Of loves rare wine,
Twas but moment, yet the wealth of Ophir
Would not avail TO buy the memory even
Ofthat brief instant when stood enchanted
within the glowing portals of loves heaven

From the Baltimore American
This town was startled to-day about
noon by the report that wedding at a
dea,h-bed had occurred. Judge VII
liam Viers Bouic, who was defeated for
denomination at the recent primaries by
George Peter, was taken sick on last
Saturday with nervous prostration add
symptoms of typho-malarial fever. Al
most immediately his ailments took
vital hold and he has been growing
RAPIDLY worse each day. This morning
his attendant physician, DR.. Nathan >.
White. of Jacksonville, announced that
the case was hopeless and that death
would hastily ensue. As soon rs lis
true condition was made known 10 the
Judge he requested that his eldest
daughter (Ella) should be married at
once. aud in his presence, to Dr. white
10 whom she had been engaged Tor
several wears. After consultation be
tween the interested couple and others
of the family it was decided to acqu'e<ce
in the death bed request of her father.
Accordingly, license was quietly Sc
cured from +. 3. Prct,yman, Clerk OF
the Court. The Rev. 5. Il. White,
Baptist clergyman OF this town, was
sent for and about 10 o'clock repaired
to the house where shortly he performed
the marriage ceremony.
Gathered in the dying mars room
were his son, William Viers Boulc, Jr.,
his wife and three daughters. SoleInnly
and quietly the little company gathered
around the bedside. The Judge was
propped up on pillow, bis pale, sharp
features standing out prominently. lhe
Rev. Mr.. White took mis- stand near
the head of the bed, the contracting
couple standing nearer the foot and
facing the father. Quietly and firmly
