STocKs-The stock market to-day was
again dull and featureless outside OF few
stocks. but weakened in the afternoon and
closed generally lower. The speculation is
still entirely of professional nature. The
general list developed some strength upon
the covering of short sales OF yesterday,
the Wizards being notable among the
usually active stocks. Dizziness and stag
nation. however, overspread the entire list
and the announcement OF the suspension OF
the American Loan and Trust Company
caused pressure of long stock upon the
market. and while Burlington and Rock
Island were driven down, the general list
responded to the loss in these shares by
slight declines only. The market finally
closed dull and steady at about the lowest
prices, but generally within slight fractions
of last evenings figures. Sales l6S,62O

coLUMelA's FLOWER.

Upon day in merry May,
Among the buds of spring,
Our bonnie lass. Columbia,
Went lightly wandering.
And first she plucked a wind flower,
And gragely shook ner head:
~Too pale you are, too frail you ara
For what want" she said.
And next she found shady nook
Where purple vioIets grew.
+" I never spied flower" she cried,
That could compare with you.
How neat you are! How sweet you ara
You modest little dearl
Bat, oh, so difident! I guess
I'd better leave you here"
And so she roamed from flower TO flower.
But carried none away;
One was too grave to suit her taste,
Another was too gay.
The daisy and the buttercup
Smiled in her face in vain:
"T0o trim you are, too prim you are"
She laughed in her disdain.
Nor would she heed one lovely weed
That through the summer grows;
She tossed aside the purple fas
She fouted the wild rose;
And was so hard to suit, indeed,
1t seemed she'd never find
This little lass, Columbia
A blossom to her mind. I
But one day through the autumn feids
With MIN BILE feet she trod.
And dale and height were all bedight
With splendid golden rod.
Then merrily she clapped her hands.
This is the thing for me:
Type Of the gold my broad lands hold,
To which the world is free!
" Oh! mine you are, for fine you ara
And beautiful and strong:
You are the flower that shall be SET
To sermon and to songl"
And through the land Columbia
The fairest child of God
Went, smiling, with ner golden hair
All crowned with golden rod

tensively in the oil country for shooting
oil wells Hundreds of tons of the ex-
piosives are used every year. and the
men who manufacture it and torpedo
wells would make a small army if they
were all turned loose ih Central park.
The business they follow, too, is about

who handles glycerine is looked upon
as an unfortunate being with one foot

one that if he sticks to the business long
enough he will be blown up.
A nitro-glycerine headache Is caused
by the smell of the nitric and sulphuric
acids which are used in making the ex-
plosive. Sweet glycerine oil, as every
one knows, is very harmless LIQUID,
but when subjected to the action of the
two acids named, the resulting milk

the Mississippi river from Iowa TO
which country they had peaceably re-
moved short while before, and, sepa-
rating into squads, they ravaged the
white settlements far to the north.
The red men concealed themselves
along every frontier road, and boldly
attacked every party of travellers or
settlers that came their way. Their
acts of atrocity were horrible, and the
destruction wrought by them was ap-
palling beyond description.
This state of affairs lasted several
weeks obliging the settlers, in many
instances, to gather several families at
enc cabin, which was made to serve as
a blookhouse for their common protec-
ton.
At last however, troops were called
out TO subdue the red forces.
But while Black Hawk warred it was
a dangerous time on the Illinois border
and in the territory of Wisconsin, and
settlers far and near were in the wild
est state of alarm.
There was one family, however, who,
aJ tne beginning of'the war, was total
ly ignorant that the Sacs and Foxes
were committing hostilities all around
them
Very early in the spring of that year
Milton Rogers had put his wife and
only child, Alice, a lovely, dark-eyed
girl of seventeen, into large, covered
wagon, and, with their few household
effects, had left Ohio and journeyed
into the wilderness of Illinois.
The Rogers family took a claim on
the banks of an unsettled part of the
Illinois river. Here they built a rude
log cabin far from any of the neighbor-
ing settlements Mr. Rogers broke up
the fertile sod, while Mrs. Rogers and
Alice followed him, planting corn and
