A Union of Democratic Forces-The

 Chairman M B. Cary of the demo- cratic state central committee was in this city Saturday and held confer ence with Attorney William & Pardee, late chairman of the gold democrats for New Haven. The interview was held at MT. Pardee'o office.
 In an interview with MT. Pardee by a Courier representative recently on the subject of the coming campaign, MT, Pardee in response to enquiries said it was his belief that the gold democrats throughout the country would unite with the other wing of the democracy, now that the gold standard was assured for the next few years at least. MT. Pardee thought that Mir. Bryan would be renominated and though some other man would suit the gold wing better, still he was the most available candi- date for the party to put up; and Mir Pardee thought that Bryan had a good chance of election.

MANITo AND THE .MAYFLOwER

1 Legend of the Arbutus Related by an
 Indian of Buffalo Bills Wild West | Show.
 l There are many beautiful legends which the Indians from ancient times 1 have handed down to their children,
 and they all relate to something in na-
 ture, either the seasons, the flowers, | birds, trees, fish or the clements. One | which is very pretty tells of the passing of the winter and the coming of spring,
 and how the trailing arbutus, which
 sometimes is called the "Mayf1ower,"
 originated.
 Many moons ago there lived an old
 man alone in his lodge beside frozen stream in the forest. His locks and
 beard were long and white with age.
 He was heavily clad in furs, for snow
 and ice were everywhere The winds blew wildly through the forest, and the
 old man went about searching in the
 deep snow for pieces of wood to keep up fire in his lodge. In despair he returned
 to the lodge and, sitting down by the i last few dying coals. he cried to Man. naboosho that he might not perish. And the wind blew aside the door, and lilGl | tcllit III t Utuulll ui iICl cheeks were red, and made of wild roses; her eyes were large, and her hair touched the ground as she walked. Her hands were covered with willow buds and her clothing was of sweet grasses and ferns. Her moccasins were of white lilies, and when she breathed the air of the lodge became warm. The old man said: My daughter, l am glad to see you. My lodge is cold and cheerless, but it will shield you from the tempests. Tell me who you are. l am Manito. l blow my breath and the waters of the rivers stand still" The maiden said, T breathe and the flowers spring up in all the plains The old man said, When I walk about, the leaves fall from the trees at my command, the ami mals hide in their holes in the ground, and the birds fly away"
 The maiden said: "When I walk about. the plants lift up their heads, the trees cover their nakedness with leaves, the birds come back, and all who see me sing" Thus they talked, and the air became warm in the lodge. The old mans head dropped upon his breast and he slept
 Then the sun came out, and blue bird came to the top of the lodge and called, "Say-ee, say-ee l am thirsty' And the river called back, T am free, come and drink"
 And as the old man slept, the maiden passed her hands above his head and he began to grow small streams of water ran out of his mouth, and soon he was a small mass upon the ground, His clothes turned to green leaves, and the maiden kneeling upon the ground, took from her bosom the most precious flow CTS and hid them all about under the leaves Then she breathed upon them and said, T give all my virtues and my sweetest breath, and all who would pick thee must do so on pended knee" Then the maiden moved away through the woods and over the plains All the birds sang to her, and wherever she | stepped, and nowhere else, grows the | arbutue-New York Tribune,
