All grace does round her hover,
A look deprived me o' my heart,
And I became her lovtr
She's aye, aye sae blithe and gay,

WASHINGTON NEWS-
Resolutions Adopted at a Caucus of
Frlenda of Free Coinage.
Washington, Aug. 9. The can
ens ot members of the House of
Representatives who favor the free
coinage of silver, which was called
yesterday by Mr. Claud, was held
ito-day in the hall ot the Eonee,
lasting from 12 noon to 2 45 p. in.
At the close it was officially an
nounced that the following resolu
tion, tffered by Mr. Boatner, ol
Louisiana, had been adopted by a
unanimous vote:
Unsolved, That we will support
a bill repealing the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act, and cour,
currently providing tor the !ree
and untrammelled coinage of sil
ver with 1.11 legal tender quality
on euch a f atio as will provide and
maintain 'the parity between gold
and silver. 1
licsolved, That? a committee of
seven be appointed by the ehair
man of this conference to dratt and
introduce such a bill aud take pro
per steps to secure the free ami full
discussion and consideration there
of, and a vote of the Hou-e upon
the bill and all proper amend
ments. The committee pr jvided lor in
the forgoing resolution was com
posed as follows: Messrs. Bland,
Sibley, Boatner, Lanr, Bankhead,
Bryan and Bailey. By vote of the
caucus, J udge Culberson was added
to the committee. ,
When the caucus met it was es
timated that there were about
forty members of the House in the
hall, but during the two and three0
quarter hours the caucus was in
session, about one hundred mem
bers were admitted. Estimates of
the number in attendance ranged
lrom sixty to one hundred and
twenty-five the clerks of the cau
cub fixing the number at ninety
three, and Mr. Bland saying he
counted over one hundred.
Mr. Culberson, of Texas, was
elected chairman ol the caucus and
Mr. Sibley, of .Pennsylvania, the
only Democrat present from the
EaBtern States, Secretary. The
only Republican present wes Mr.
Bowers, of California. The Popu
lists were represented by Mr. Jerry
Simpeon and Mr. Kenn, of Ne
braska. The attendance upon the
(Caucus can hardly be regarded as a
steet of the strength of the silver
tforees in the House, for the reason
given by Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee,
That reason was that the Demo
cratic party was charged by the
people with the duty of legislating
so as to remedy the depression in
all branches of business. A Dem
ocratic caucus and not a mixed
conference, should have been called
o talk over the situation and to
formulate a plan of relief. Of the
entire Tennesbee delegation many
of vhom are in favor of free coin
age but one (Cox) was prtsaut at
the conference. This same thing
was true of a number of free silver
men from other States, who did
not desire to seem to separate
themselves from their respective
spwt-y organ'zations, even on this
.fjrwtftion.
Reports from members af tei the
caucus adjourned agreed that no
differences of opinion were dis
cussed in the progress of the dis
cussion. The question ol the ratio
for the coinage of silver was not
discussed except incidentally, and
as will be noticed, no specific figure
was named in the resolution.
Speeches were made by Messrs,
Culberson, Bland, Hatch and
.Heard, of Missouri; Crain and
Bailey, of Texas; Simpson, of Kane
rsas; Oates and Bankhead ot Alab
ama; Bryan, of Nebraska; Sibley,
of Pennsylvania; Boatner and
Blancbard, of Louisiana, and otor
era. all in snnnort of the obiect for
, - r i I
which the caucus had been called.
Besides the actum reported, a
motion by Mr. Bland was adopted
authorizing the appointment ot a
committee of "whips," one from
each State, whose duty it shall be
to canvass tlic House, discover each
member's standing npon the pro
posed bill, and sou tliatevery friend
of the measuie is in his seat and
ready to vote when the time comes.
This committee has not yet been
named.
Mr. Bland stated, sifter the cau
cus, that it had bee-u in every re
spect satisfactory to the Iriends of
freo silver coinage. The "steering
committee," which had been
named, he eaid,wuuidpiobab'ymeet
the committee of anii s Iver men
to-morrow and dh-enss tho details
ol the discussion to be had upon
the biil outlined in the resolution
adopted. ''We will require amp c
time," remarked Mr. Bland, "to
carry out the terms of the "resolus
tier, and I do not see how it wiil
be possible te come to a vote under
a mouth or probably s'x week?. I
cannot tell when the committee
will have its biil ready to present
to the House. The question of the
ratio to be inserted in the bill was
not discussed, but it is apparent
that some of the free-silver men
a:e sati. fied that the present ratio
of 1G to 1 should be changed. We
shall probably vote upon the pros
ent ratio of 1G to 1, aud if that is
defeated, theu 17 to 1, and so on up
to 20 to 1, if necessary."
Almost every Democratic Sen
v.tor was present at the party cau
cus held this morning. The meet
ing was convened at 10,30 o'clock,
and when the hour ol noon arrived
nothing definite had been acconi
pii&hed, and an adjournment was
taken until immediately after the
adjournment of the Senate.
The afternoon caucus was almost
as unproductive of results as the
morning session. Most of the time
was consumed in the expression ot
individual views, which clearly
demonstrated that each element in
the party was firmly wedded to its
own notions. One Senator who oo
cupiesahigh position in the Fib
nance Committee, and whose lean,
ing towards free siiver is pronouned,
declared positively, "Yon can set
it down as a certainly that the
Sherman act will not be repealed
unconditionally." On the uther
hand, some Senators who have
sided with the President, said
rather despondently that while no
tangible advance had been made
toward a point where the party
could be regarded as united, they
had not abandoned Uie hope that
the efforts in that direction m'ght
eventually result in success.
It ie gathered from this that the
conditional repeal proposition is
gaining strength and that certain
ot the ultra silver men are pre
paring to follow in the direction
iudicated by the leaders in the sil
ver caucus in the House to-day to
wards repeal, with free coinage at
an increased ratio. It was a rather
significant tact that the silver men
appeared to have lees anxiety than
their opponents, about the result
of the caucus, as was evidenced by
their conduct while the Senators
were disenssing the situation, a
number of them leaving the room
and gomg to the restauran whe e
they calmly indulged in luncheon,
apparently unconcerned as to what
was going on in the Chamber
above.
Neither party in the Senate has
ever been able to caucus with com
plete success on the subject of sil
ver, and to day's caucus was no
exception to the rule. So, alter
exhausting the possibilities of de
bate, the caucus tell back upon the
olti-tried expedient of delegating to
a committee the task of endeavor
ing to arrange a plan of business.
Mr, Gcrmau, the chairman of the
caucus, was authorized to appoint
this committee, and the caucus it
self adjour led subject to his call
which will be issued as soon as the
committee ha 3 reached an aree
inent and is prepared to 6ubmit a
report for tctior.
Immediately after adjournment
of the caucus, Mr. Gorman re
paired to the room of the Corns
mittee on appropriations and calk
ed into consultation Messrs.
Blackburn, Gray, Itansom and
Voorhees. Mr. Cockrell wae invited
to remain i-i the room. All of these
Senators, with the exception of Mr.
Gray, were members of the Demo
cratic Caucns Committee of the
last session; and although Mr.jGoro
man had not made h's apointments
at the time of the consultation,
their prsence gave color to the ex
pectation that they would be
named as members ot the Caucus
Committee.
Ai me conclusion oi tms ino
formal caucus at 5.15 p. m., Mr.
Gorman said he would not appoint
the commitee author zod by the
caucus until to-morrow.

TO A
MOTHER ON THE DEATH
OF A LITTLE CHILD.
The following ixquisitely beautiful
and touching lines have been sent to the
Observer by a Salisbury lady who says
she does not know whether they have
ever been printed before, and adds:
"They were copied out of a rector's 'vade
mccuui' of the late Rev, Dr. I.T. Wheat."
I know in grief like yours how more
than vein
All comfort to the stricken heart ap
pears. And as the bursting cloud must spend
the rain
So grief its tears.
I knew that when your little darling's
form
Had ireed the anpel spirit fettered
there,
You could not pierce beyond the break
ing storm
In your de3pair.
You could not see the tender Hand
that caught
Your little lamb to shield him irern
all harm;
You missed him iroui your own, but
never thought
Of Jesus' arms.
lou only 1 -jit ttiose precious ec3 were
dim;
You only clung to what remained of
him.
Beneath the mould.
But oh! dear mother! look the gate
unbars!
And through the darkness, smiling
from the skies
Are beaming on von, brighter than
these stars
Your darling's eyes,
'Tis said that when the pas'ures down
among
The Alphine hills had ceased to feed
the flocks.
And they must mount to where the
grass is young
Far up the recks.
The shepherd takes a little lamb at play
And lifts him gently to his can ful
breast,
And with its tender bleating leads the
way.
For all the rest;
That quick the mother follows in the
path,
Then others go like men whose faith
gives hopes,
And soon the shepherd gatners all he
hath
Far up the slopes.
And on those everlasting hills He feeds
The trusting fold in green that never
palls.
Look up! O. see your little darling
leads.
The Shepard calls.

The Crank Harmless and Crank Dangerous-There
are two varieties of crank,
the harmless and dfiiisjerons.
The crank who has machines
and who can show you how
to make a fortune, the crank who
lives on water or who is willing to
be buried alive, are men oi the
class who irijnre no one but them
selves. Just now, however, the country
is burdened with a crank of more
harmful kind. He is the financial
crank, whose turgid theories are
instilled into the minds of the ig
norant. These men ally them-,
selves with men wose demagogism
will make tools of them. Such was
the "Silver Convention" gathering
in Chicago with such men as Gov
ernor VVaite, of Colorado, who has
counsel iea biood-shed. A. Buck, of
Arizona," is another. This indi
vidual declared. "If these gold bugs
press us too closely there'll be a
light as sure as Satan, and we'll
thrash them until they don't know
where they stand."
. Demagogues like these two util
ize the silver cranks for the detrio
ment of the entire country and
demagogues like these should be
weeded out.
These men harp much on the
"gold bugs." It is time for them
to tell us something ot the silver
mines and want the United States
Government to buy their product
at their prices, whether it is worth
it or net. It has paid to be a silver
bug. The business has had more
sure profits than any, amount of
goldism. If this fact is realized by
the well-meaning but deluded sil
ver crank he will realize how he Is
impoaed upon. Hichmond State.
The man who knows all about
the silver question could save the
country to-day if he did not hap
Den to have a twin brother who
alo knows all about it, and un-
fortunately the two hold exactly
opposite yiewa on the subject.
Meanwhile Mr.JJleveland, who is
neither a "goldsbug" nor a "silver
lunatic," as gentlemen of the op
pos'ng parties are fond of styling
each other, may be trasted, with
the assistance of Congress, to carry
out the policy best adapted to the
existing crisis. .

THg ANGEL OF PATIENCE.
To weary hearts, to mourning homes,
God's meekest angel gently comec;
No power has he to banish pain,
Or give us back our lost again.
And yet in tenderest love our dear
And heavenly Father sends him here.
There's quiet in that angel's glance,
Thert's rast in his still countenance;
He mocks no grief with idle cheer,
Nor rounds with words the mourner's
ear.
But ills and woes, he may not cure;
He kindly trains us to endure.
Ai-i'.l of Patience! sent to calm
Our feverish brows with cooling palm.
To lay the storms ef hope and fear,
And reconcile life's smile and tear;
The throbs of wounded pride to still,
And make our own our Father's will.
Oh, thou who mourneat on thy way,
With longings for the close ol day,
He walks with thee, that angel kind,
And gently whispers, "Be resigned ;
Bear up bear on, the end shall tell
The dear Lord ordereth all things well."

THE LITTLE FEET.
Acros3 the lonely chamber floor,
And down the passage, through the
hall,
The.little feet resounel no mere?
There cometh through thi open door
No merry voice, no laughing call
Across the lonely chamber iloor.
But where the sunlight Hashes o'er
Gray tapestry and pictured wall,
The little feet resound no more!
perciiance upon a distant shore
. ,.
hey wander now, no more to lull
Across the lonely chamber floor.
VV uy comes tne summer to restore
Bright hollyhocks anel lilies tall?
The little leet resound no more!
Alas for Hope's deceptive lore!
Her worels are desolation all;
Across the lonely chamber floor
The little leet resound no more!
