The stock market was unsettled and rather
heavy this forenoon, but became very weak In
the afternoon, and the result of the days bust
ness is to leave prices Of most stocks materially
lower. There was a somewhat better feeling
on the street this morning, but traders were
bearishIy inclined, and other interests were
doing little or nothing in the market which
had always been the bears opportunity, and
the most was made Of II. There was squirt in
Rock Island at the opening on the impression
that there would be no reduction in the dv-
dend, but bears circulated a report later that
the dividend would surely be reduced and the
stock gave way again, with other western
stocks, which were treated in the same way

THE TWO AGES.

HO for the days Of sword and lance,
OF Ghlvalry and bold romance,
When lovers had some sort of chance
TO win mistress fair;
When rivals all were free 10 fight
Their quarrels ont 10y candle light,
Or, in the tourney, every knight
His old accounts could square.
Sir Percy saw his lady smile,
Perchance upon Sir olive lie,
Which straightway raised that mobiles bile;
Then Tooth and nail would ride
These gallant knights, and deity break
a lance, or head, for her sweet sake,
And be who won had leave TO take
The lady for his bride.
Now, ] have rivals, six or eight.
Whose noses could dislOcate
With much delight. beg 10 state,
ltlaws were only lax;
Yet may only scowl or frown
Whene.er we meet about the town.
Or, al the most, TO run them down
10 friends behind their backs.
Alas in these prosaic days,
A lover treads no primrose ways;
He dare not even sing loves lays
Beneath her walls at night,
For fear that an alert police
Should run him In for breaking peace,
Or alien bootjacks make him cease,
Hurled by hand Of might,
Once wooing was a noble art;
II needed but valiant heart
To safely speed the flying dart
In those brave days Of old.
There was no coin 20 win loves gage
Without some higher heritage.
Well may we miss the Golden Age

ConkIing,s Ountntion.

The death of Mr., Conkling has opened
the llood-gates of political reminiscence,
of course. 1t is hard to find chapter on
the great New Yorker without reference
to his great Chicago speech of 1880, and IL
is almost impossible to find reference to
this speech without the famous lines from
Miles O'Reilly. In nine cases out of ten
THE quotation Is incorrectly given. Amos
j. Cummings of the New York Sun, from
whom one would expect accuracy in n
thing like this, puts it as follows
If you ask us whence he comes,
Our answer II shall be;
lie comes from AppomattoX
Aud Its famous apple tree.
The lines occur in the last verse of a
Grant campaign song, written in 1853
and published with other songs and
poems by the same author in 1869. The
title of the song "a Bumper to Grant"
and il is sung to the tune of "Benny
Hayens, o." The whole verse is as fol-
lows:
So, boys, final bumper
While we all IN chorus chant,
For next President we nominate
Our own Ulysses Grant,
And II asked what State he halls from,
This our sole reply shall be:
From near Appomattox Courthouse,
With It's famous apple tree.h
For twas there TO our Ulysses
That Lee gave up the fight
Now, boys, TO Grant for President,
And God defend the right"
The exact words used by Mr.. Conkling
as the preface to his Chicago speech were
these.
When asked what State he halls from,
Our sole reply shall be:
lie halls from AppomattoX
And its famous apple tree.

He now puts ON his new straw hat,
And looks so fresh and gay,
He has to take club along,
To drive the cows away.

Major Stofah went to see his best girl
the other evening, and the little brother
was entertaining him as usual till the
SISTER came down.
'You like my sister, don't your" asked
the little lamb.
'Yes, Tommie, very much" replied
the Major with delicate blush.
"You'd like to marry her, wouldn't
you?"
"Well, l believe would"
But you aint rich, are you?n
"No, Pm not rich" replied the Major,
with faint sigh.
That's all right" said the boy, sympa-
thetically.
"Do you think so?" asked the Major,
frightening.
"Sure of it," exclaimed the boy; 81
heard sister say she would like awfully
to marry a rich man, but she was willing
to take anything rather than die an old
maid"
The Major is once more heart whole
and fancy free
