' , Since the news of flie result. of the Kentucky contest was received it is the opinion of at least 7 democrats out of every teu in Co ngrerss, regard less of their personal : prefer ence, that the silver demo crats will have a majority, hi the Chicago convention and will be able to dictate the platform. The more conser vative among tl)Pin think however, that the time-hon ored two-thirds rule will be continued and that it will be utilized as a toner down ot extremes. In other words. that while ihe silver men will have a majority which will enable them to make any sort of platform they want, they will not have the two thirds necessary to nominate candidates. No adjournment resolution has been adopted but it is re garded as certain that ad journment will take place be tween this and the 10th oj the month.

Therefore when; t h i s Jcir cumstance; Dccurred, tOsseo, rich in domains, of which it was his boast to' say t h a t within his confines there .was so mneh irame that not even the humblest member ;of ,h'si numerous tribe ever lacked for the greatest abandonee of venison, fish and fowl.' And Geche Manteo, the Mighty, had given him one present, which, as mueh; as he Joved his power and his subjects, he esteemed more than all. The Qreat One had given him a daughter who possess ed eyes like twin stars, glos sv tresses as black as the ra ven's wing, and a! sylph-like form, the very incarnatl m of grace and suplenees. The chief, her father, gave her the name of H'enonah, "as the grst born of the daughters," but the whole tribe knew her only by the poetical cogno men of the Princes Starlight. When she hud nrrived at the age of 16; when Indian maid ens afp at the height of their dusky, beauty, many suitors came to claim her iand, but the 3hief adored her, and wish ed to keep longer with bun the beautinl princess, whose voice was like unto sweet mu sic. . Loath was he to part with theslender maiden, who alone of alj bis children, fenred him not when the blood of h i t savage ancestors boiled with in his veins yhen he had ta ken enptive an enmy; the one bnng who could turn him fiom.cruei vengeance, ami in dine his heart to nerov; that gentle quality of which Shake Bppare.says: "Tis mightipst in the mightipst and the throned monarch better th in his crown." Osseo, therpfore, refused all offers for the hand of i(Jf'ely Wenonnh until one ilay the princessstood before him saying: "O, chief and father, I pray you appoint some meansby which I may wed, fot 'tis not fit that thoa shouldst wait until I liave grown old u n d ugly, till thou shalt have to beg for suitors for the hand which is now humbly entreat ed.for. "And thou bast grown tir ed of thy maidenhood. 0, my lily, fairest of my chil dren ? Dost thou wish some stranger brave to rule over you, you, my star-eyed, proud Wenonah ?" 0, uugust father, I yearn for love only, and so great is that yearning that. I will sac rificeall to gain it." : ''So be it then' I must pre pare to bid you farewell, but now go to your wigwam." She bowed to the ground and glided from the jcouncil room. - Then the chief Bent messen gers with wands of willow, farand wide proclaimingthat the princess Star-light was "now sufficiently old to wed" the brave whom she should choose after each had. plead ed hiscanse, on the yerge of a precipice, which looked '"' - down hundreds of feet upon a .vii lie vj . through yr hich ; a winding stream wonrjed .its way. Soon the whole plaia wis Voveivd with wigwams of suitors. Tlnre Wfis Pw Puk Keewis, the graceful da li ei ; Chibiabo, the sweet niu sician. and many, many oth ers, but Kvnsind; the brav est and tin? handsomest of rhem nil, alone found favor in the sitht of Osseo, the chief, and his daughter. First of all the suitors came I'aw-Puk-Keewis, the envious, and whispered in the ear of fiiir Wnonah a false hood. -'Kwasind loved an oilier maiden, f n his far off land there dwells a fair wo manhis deserted bride." , Wenonnh hid her angerun dpr a calm exterior, but was none the less enraged. She loved him, the ' handsome Kwnsind, and elt all the pangs of jenlouwy. V lien Paw Pukewis left her . then came Kwnsind. To h's passi .mate entreaty, his eloquent plea, the princess haughtily repli ed: "Sooner "would I see you dU than chpose yiv as my hisbnnd.". "Then niy life is of no val ue to me. Se how 1 loveyou! And, witfi a lomj cry, he leap ed over the slnnder barrier of stones which bordered the preeipice, and down, down he fell, on, on, hundreds of feet, then the maiden, wildly peni tent, shrieked: 0, Mudjekpewis, thou, the West Wind, bring mv love buck to me ! O, Sliawonda see, gentle SouthsWind, bear him up with your strong arm.'' Ami the two mighty brothers, the winds, heard her, and moved by her grief and shea uf.v, blew him back to the spot where Wenonah had thrown herself facedown ward, sobbing and entreat ing the winds to hear hear her prayer. And when the lov l ig Kwasind intea n?r ana showered kisses on her love ly head, she laid gently pas sive, her form supported by his arm and softly whisper ed: "My love, - my Lord for give me, and 1 will follow thee forever, and to the ends of the earth."
