TWILIGHT AT SEA.

The twilight hours, like birds, flew by,
As lightly and as free,
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten thousand on the sea;
For every wave, with dimplcd face,
That lcaped upon the air,
Had caught star in its embrace,
And held it trembling there.

A Combine That Means support of the

Yesterday morning was held the most
important meeting that has yet occurred
in connection with the Alliance conven-
ton. This was the gathering of the exec
utive committee of the Confederated In
dustrial union, composed of the Farmers
Alliance. the f. N. b. A, knights of La
bors, Citizens Alliance, Workingmen's
league, Patrons of Husbandry and kin
dred organizations, to consult about call
ing a convention of all these organiza-
tions on Feb. -. The committee decided
that this convention. looking to unity in
legislative demands and political action,
shall be held at some point in the central
states. The fixing of a place of meeting
was considered at length, and it was then
decided to leave tife choosing of city 10
Messrs. Terrell, Taubeneck and Baum

Six Places to Select From.
This committee was instructed to choose
from the following cities: Indianapolis,

will visit each of the cities designated. and
will select the one that offers to do most
for the meeting. This committee is to
report its selection within the next twenty

upon for the meeting of the Confederated
Industrial union is two delegates from each
confederated organization, and one dele
gate for each 1O,O00 votes cast by the Peo-
Piles party. This will make delegation

the executive committee. There will be
eighteen or twenty organizations repre-
sented; it will not be q meeting for poli-

sena tor Wolcott, of Colorado vigorously
Expresses Himself
DENVER, Nov 20.-The mining congress
yesterday. appointed resolutions COM
mittee, which will undoubtedly report
strong free silver sentiments. The event
of the day was the speech of Senator VOL
colt, of Colorado, which being in favor of
fres and unlimited coinage of silver, was
app.auded at every sentence.
He stigmatized the decentralization Of silvB
In 1873 as the most iniquitous political treach-
cry ever perpetrated "rhe silver dollar" he
said, 'is the dollar of the people. and the gold
that of the aristocracy. The silver dollar is an
honest one The opponents of bimetallism
say it is a 72-cent dollar, but ship a million TO
Liverpool and you will get an equal number of
gold ones less the transportiou expenses"
Slap at the President.
In his concluding remarks he took occasion
to explain his position to his Colorado constit-
uents, and he wanted to be understood that in
the future, as in the past, no difference what
the position of the Republican party or its
chief executive might be. no matter how much
his actions might bring him into disfavor in
the councils of the party in the senate, or no
difference how much it would obscure the sun
light of presidential patronage from shining
upon him, he would be found fighting to the
end of his official and public life for the restor
alton of silver into its former place and for its
free and unrestricted coinage and recognition
as a money metal.
All the Delegates of One Mind.
E. X. Holden, a Colorado smelter, who
| favors the coinage of the American pro-
duct only, combatted Wolcott's position,
but the meeting merely endured him. 1t

Spirit of the Times and other papers

ton, Illinois Medoc. In Currier &

Stud Book (SandersO gives the same
version, without even an IS. t. b.; but
Wallace never regarded this version suf-
ficiently authenticated to accept it,
The dam of Sam Purdy has, since have
owned him, been variously claimed as
by a pacing horse in Illinois, called
Pete Milestone, horse called Nero,
and Champion Black Hawk. There has
been also some controversy in the sport

ed by one man was the dam of Whiskey
Jane, and grandam of Sam Purdy; but
of the twO-one nearly or quite
thoroughbred-the other Copperbot,

general verdict is thas Whiskey Jane
was out of the Copperbottom mare.

by every sportsman in England to be the
best and heetest of his age in the world.
This horse has been very lucky in get
ting foals. All those produced by even
the most ordinary mares are remarkably

justly entitle HIM to the character of the
best stallion in America.

GOLDDUST AND BLACK HAWK.

Editor Dunton'S Spirit ofhe Odd
Golddust was sired by a full bloOded
Vermont Morgan, brought to Monticello,
Madison county, H., in 1851 or '52, by IA
man by the name of Sawyer. Mr.. Levi
Dorsey sent a sorrel mare from Jefferson
county, Ky, to Mr.. Sawyer and had her
bred to this Morgan horse. She proved
with foal and saw this colt at St. Louis,
when he was two and three-year-old a;
he was red sOrrel, and Mr.. Dorsey call
ed him Golddust. If any one wants to
know of old Golddust's history write to
Ben or Pluto Dorsey of Bunker Hill, Hi
nois. l knew of several Black Hawk
Morgans at that time, in that part of Hi
nOis. will name few of them: Silver
heels at Quincy, H.. Liveoak George at
Jerseyville, H.; Flying Cloud at the
same place; Champion Black Hawk at
Carrollton, H.; Rising Sun at Bunker
Hill, Ill, Wide Awake at Alton, H.; Ad-
Olson at Bellville, Ill. They were all
fine Black Hawk Morgans. They were
good size, and fine roadsters, and could
all trot below 40.
Golddust was the finest horse that was
ever bred in Kentucky.
