CHICAGO, June 6, 10 a. m.
The Convention remained in session
until half-past 2 o'clock this morning,
but no ballotiug was done, notwi,h-
standing the most strenuous efforts of
the Blaine leaders.
The Tribune says that last nights
enthusiastic demonstration, when
Blaine's name was called, shows his
great strength, and predicts his nomi-
nation.
The lnterOcean says the situation
is practically unchanged; that the
Southern delegates remain true to
Arthur, and that Baine's friends stick
to him with great tenacity; that Sher.
man, Logan and Edm'1nds were wait
ing and hoping for the breaking Of
the Arthur and Blaine forces.
The Times refrains from making
any prediction, and says that it is gen
orally thought that the result will not
be reached to-day, unless there be a
second session.
Blaine's men predict his nomination
on the second or third ballot

The Capacities Of Genius.

The capacities of genius are expanded
through the years. It was only little
while ago-and the interval seems
briefer than 1t really is-that Berahardt
from Paris, was with u.s. She was
surprising vision; she was transcendant
on the stage, aud the grace and toilets
that she assumed for street and hotel
wear made mockery of those Of the
bellies Of our land. The policeman at the
pier at which she landed forced the
widow OF Abraham Lincoln to stand
back to give her carriage passage. She
was famous then a. actress, painter,
sculptor, paragraphist and aeronaut
She added most definitely to her triumphs
here. As an actress, the fame Of Rachel
is little greater. Since her return to
Europe hardly week has passed that
has not brought tidings Of her. The
cable has chronicled her success from
Russia to the Mediterranean, and from
London to the boundaries Of the land
that Mr.. Hewitt has just returned from
She married the Greek gentleman, NJ.
Damala, aud bore with his alleged prod
igal habits for several months.
She is now making cheese.
The st. James Gazette says that she
has bought farm adjoining her villa
near Havre, that the cheese which she
makes there is called the little Sarah
Bernhardt." that II already figures on
the carte Of one Of the large Paris res.
taurants. and that II is likely to make Q

The pelican fe&is its young with the
life blood from its own bleeding bo-
som. This is beautiful mistake,
that will live forever in symbol and
legend. The real live" pelican has
large bag under her unwield:y
beak, and digging with the beak
toward the breast, she feeds her brood
and soils her feathers with red-stained
tidbits OF fish from the bag. The
nightingale leans her breast against
thorn and sings in pain. In the old
poets not only has she thorn in her
breast but she puts it there Instead
of being the voice of lonely love she
ought to be the emblem of those dis
contented people who, in a position en-
yiable to others, first make their own
troubles and then spend their lives in
self-commiseration. Of course the
nightingale is not such fool as she
looks in poetry. Swans are said to
sing death song; this is poetry too
But they are Matched during thunder;
and this is prose the belief of other
wise sensible folk. Crows and curlews
hate each other so that their eggs put
in the same nest will all burst. Talk
ing of eggs, the cock of the south of
England lays an egg when the hen has
ceased LAYING; it is a small, insignif-
cant affair with no yelk in it, clear
ly an amateur attempt. These cocks
eggs are to be found in Sussex, if no.
