DREAM OF A BUTTERFLY.
Prison HOuse-Flowers Far Away
Kiss of The Breeze.

Margaret Eytinge in Detroit Free Press.
lLulu brought the large cocoon she
had found in the garden. hanging from
branch Of the honeysuckle vine, into
the house, and laid it on the glass globe
where the goldfish used to live (the gold
fish were dead and naughty pusS knew
how they died), and she placed the globe
OH small table in the library. near the
window, where the sunshine could fall
on it just half the day.
There was baby butterfly wrapped
snugly up in the cocoon, and as soon as
it felt its wings begin to grow it began
to dream of the beautiful, happy life it
should lead when it was strong enough
to burst from its sillzen cell.
II shall see the lovely flowers on
every side, dreamed the baby butterfly:
1.-The roses--pink, white, crimson aid
yellow-each with precious drop of
honey kept near her golden heart for
me. | shall visit the graceful lilies and
pretty larkspurs, and in their cups find
sparkling dew, and glittering raindropS
and many sweets. / shall linger by the
fragrant honeysuckles and steal kisses
from their scarlet cheeks. l shall whIS
per secrets in rhyme to the honest, low
ing clover, and and the starlike daises.
shall hear the bees hum and the birds
sing and peep into the bird nests. where
the little white, round eggs are laid. L
shall float in the summer air and dance
the merry wing dance with hundreds
of gay, brightly dressed butterflies. Oh?
hasten away days and nights" said the
baby butterfly in its dream, land bring
the hour when / may unfold my wings
and fly"
And at last the hour came.
The baby butterfly had become full
grown one, and, forcing its way through
one end of the cocoon in which it had
been imprisoned so long, it stood for an
hour or two almost mOtiOnlesS, with
damp. folded wings; and then. growing
strong with the pure. cool air it
breathed, it proudly unfolded them and
scared out at the open top of the glass
globe.
But where were the beautiful flowers
and birds and bees and kindred butter
flies?
Nothing did the bright-winged stran-
ger see but white ceiling, gray walls
and the backs of many books.
And stunned by such rude awaken
ing from its dream, it flew back to the
globe and chung upon the outer edge,
with bowed head and dropping wings.
Lulu, coming into the library for a
book, greeted the newcomer with a cry
of delight, and then fastened to bringit
sugar and water on a tiny saucer of
dainty doll-china; but it would not eat.
Then she brought sweet flowers from
the garden; but the butterfly never
moved-they were not the flowers of its
dream.
The dream flowers were fresh and
glowing. These, torn from their par
ent stems were already dropping and
fading.
At last, Lulu, sorry for the pretty,
almost heartbroken thing, opened the
window, and the breeze came gen
thy in.
1t kissed the sorrowing butterfly, and
whispered something in the faintest,
softest whisper, and the butterfly
spread its lovely wings once more, flut,-
tered an instant above the globe and
then sailed away out of the window
into the garden, and in another mo-
ment it's dream had come true.

The disappointment in the street over
the small acceptanceS of silver and the

be untrue, but the confident feeling
that the secretary would find some way
of keeping down the surplus remained.
The movements in the market were
almost entirely devoid of interest,
though the demand was sufficient in
view of the lack of offerings to keep
prices moving slowly in the upward
direction. There was considerable de-
mand, supposed to be for the account of
prominent Chicago operator who Is
supposed to be covering his shorts.
These were supposed to be particularly
heavy in Atchison and Lackawanna,
and the latter was particularly strong.

! Missouri Pacific displayed the most
even strength. its gain being l per

measure due to the buying for foreign
account, but after that demand had
been satisfied. there was a reaction of
meager proportions, followed by
steady though slow appreciation, which
lasted until the raid in the last hour.
Prices then gave way in sympathy with
the grangers. and the close was rather
heavy, but still at fractional advances
over last evenings figures. The indus

Wheat opened yesterday about where it
closed Thursday with moderate amount of
trading and tendency to easier quotations.
The weather in the Northwest was good
which. with recent rains in the corn belt,
produced moderate depression, and the ma
jority of spectators figured on further de-
cline. Prices fell from 97c asked for Sep
TENDER in the morning to 9GSs@96l2c about
1880 o'clock. AT that point there was some
fresh buying, and the market worked back
to 97c, later f1uctuating above and below

She Was Not Clever, and She
Could Not Get Partners for the
Dance.
ST. Armand's ''Mirabeau."
The prevailing impression regarding
the part played by Marie Antoinette in
the critical days preceding and imme-
diately following the meeting of the
states general is derived from Mira
beau's assertion that "the only man the
king had about him was the queen"
The truth is, Mirabeau. who knew
nothing about Marie AntOinette except
from hearsay, exaggerated her abilities,
though not her influence, over her huS-
band. A much more trustworthy au-
thority, the Baron de Bersenyal, makes
it clear that Marie Antoinette was fitted
neither by education nor character for
interference in political affairs. She
was ignorant of history, and had read
scarcely anything except novels. The
moment any one began to talk seriously
her face expressed WEAKNESS and the
conversation tagged. Her own talk
was always desultory, fitting from one
subject to another; the gossip of the
day and stories of the court and town
interested her more than discussions
about finance and politics.
Notwithstanding the obvious absurd
ity of consulting such person in mat
ters of state, there is no doubt that she
had acquired, and that she exercised,
complete aScendency over her husband.
On this point Bersenval has recorded
that "whether through a consciousness
of her superiority, or through fear or
charm, and not only did Louis XIV
never oppose her. but | have seen more
than thousand times that when she
was speaking his eyes and mien eX-
pressed feeling and eagerness which
the most dearly loved mistress seldom
evokes."
At the last court ball in 17SS no one
was willing to dance with her. For
this almost incredible fact we have the
testimony of Nine. Vigee-Leblun, who
was present. 1.-The box" she says, sin
which l happened to be sitting was so
near the queens that l could overhear
what she said. l saw her. in some agi-
tation, inviting the young men of the
court to dance, among them M. de
Lameth (who belonged to family
which she had overwhelmed with deeds
CT kindness) and others, all of whom
refused her, so that it was impossible to
make up the sets for the square dances.
The indecorous conduct of those gen
tlemen shocked me. Their refusal
seemed to me a sort of revolt. The
revolution was approaching--it broke
out the next year."
