Bells claim. Uline said Bell must thrash

Turpin fired to save Bell. Fred staggered

From a staf Correspondent.


CHICAGO, July 9.-To-day has been very
disappointing one from an artistic stand
point. 1t has been without much color or
any broad effects such as painters love to
select. So far as this phase of the conven-
ton is concerned, it has been about as bereft
of effects as sheet or piece of putty.
The seats were all filed, and in the fact that
there was a sea of spectators which extended
from shore to shore of the building. without
break, there was something satisfying.
In respect of spectators it was
full tide which filed the basin
of the exposition building like an unbroken
sea. There were MANY women present, but
as the morning was dull and misty, they
came out in sombre colors and were almost
ashen in their expression. In short it was
sort of q dead sea day. The surface of the
waters was duh and unruffled and the
Democratic winds were not of sufficient
strength TO waken into life ripple. As
noticed before there is nothing enthusiastic
about the gathering, especially that portion
Of it composed Of the delegates. They look

Seated here and there among the delegates
was now and then notable face, the prop
erty of notable man. Among those that
drew the regards of strangers was the patri-
archal head of Elihu B. Washburne, for SO
long time the American minister to France.
He has most kindly face, over which are
scattered little wrinkles, which seem the
lurking place of benevolent purposes. His
hair is long and white, giving him a rare
and venerable appearance. His open face
is not disguised by a beard, so that the
shinmer Of his paternal face is not obscured,
or fictitious harshness given to his
expression. One cannot but admire
this splendid old man, who
is now being bent earthwards by his load of
years. A Republican, he yet has the respect
of all classes, and to-day received as much
attention as if he had been the loved patri-
arch and leader of the party whose delegates
were in session. He is one American who
numbers his friends and admirers in two
continents.
Another character whom the crowd caught
sight of but for moment was Gen. Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina. The last time
the writer saw him was in 1876, during
the period when the crea-
lures Of the Republican party
were crawling over louisiana, Florida, and
South Carolina, in order to corrupt retu m
ing-board or steal a few votes. At that time

pied the assembly chamber Of Columbia

tinuous session, night and day, each fearing

THREE TRAVELLERS.

Across the prairie wild and wide
Three travellers went one winter Night,
Mid sobbing winds and beating rain,
And the moons pale and cloudy light.
They walked alone, and far apart
Yet the same motive stirred each hoart.
Tho first was but little child,
a maiden of n dozen years:
The angels heard her small swift feet,
And saw her wCHriness and tears.
But pain and fear she did not heed,
Her mothers life was I'm her speed.
The next, n soul with sorrow dumb.
peasant woman, old and poor;
She neither felt the wind or rain.
She thought not of the lonely moor:
For 10 was but the road TO save,
A son and husband from the grave.
That sclfsamc night, ut midnight's hour,
a man went swiftly Der the moor,
His soul serene In solemn thought,
His feet, In duty's pathway sure
a holy man who went To pray.
With one who died AT dawn OF day.
Each traveller had his special care,
And neither knew the Others pain,
But IL was Love that crossed the moor,
Amid the beating wind ana rain
Pure Love, unsCltlsh, indebted
In wife and mother, priest and child.
q lonely tcmpest-bcatcn moor!
so bleak below, SO dark above,
Across thy dr0lTy, weary miles
see the shining steps of Love
OF mighty Love, whose wondrOus light
Can make Garth $ darkest places bright.
