ILLINOIS DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The following is the platform adopted :
Patriotic duty and lntcnst demand peace
and reconciliation through all the land.
"We pledge ourselves to the following prin-
riples:
First No tariff for protection.
Second No third term. . ' , ,
Third A substantial reform ot the tt il
service so that federal officers shall be lio
tenants of the people and not of a part
Fourth Equal rights to all the staes,
and no federal interference with the in
stitutional functions of states.
Fifth A constitutional currency of fid
ad silver, and of paper convertible ito
coin. I
Sixth No more land grants to mdipo-
lien.
Seventh The will of the people mi be
supremo and majorities must rule ui'u'tlie
constitutional methods. No nun inch
frauds as that of 1870-no more 8 t7.
Eighth That laws shall be eicted to
protect laborers in the more prapt and
certain collection of their wages. ,
AN IDYL OF NEW M4CO.
, . Good Company.
He sighed and turned hist toward
the mountain top shining like Ivor in the
keen, clear light, and the at fell to
, sketching Oreto's profile.
' Time is the great consol" said the
languid Illinobuu. trying t'pt bor
Jwrth English to the spoken Mic of the
stranger. A Southern sky m Kotlo
' wtoe" 1 the Spanish tge ba a
matchless trick of melting i it touches
into melody.
'La Senora is most kind, but ft is too
late: thi heart Ins no second pang. Do
you see tho white lino down the mountain
side!" he asked abruptly changing ; the
subiect evidently paintul to dwell upon.
"Vcs; it is a brook rising in a spring,
cold as tec. cleat as duns."
Then, instead of mv dull, sad story, let
me tell you the tradition of tho Bluo Foun
tain, the name of .tho spring Foutain-bleu,
as the French fathers used to call it."
"By all means; a story, a story!" the la
dies cried in chorus.
"You do me proud," said Orcto with a
sweeping bow, "and smco you honor mc
with vour attention. I nromise not to
' 1 .
weary it."
We diimoscd ourselves in various atti
tudes about the Breaker. The rising gener
ation gathered in graceful groups under
the stunted nines, and the setting genera
tion sat on buffalo robes and cushions
against the snarled and twisted trunks ot
the ninones. Little Rosa was coaxed to
her mother's lap, and then the stout lady
reclined on tho back seat of the ambulance,
loosened her bonnet strings and made her
self extremely comfortable while we
listened to the
LEGEND OF THE IILL'E FOUNTAIN.
"Once unon a time." the Spaniard began
with his grave smile, "away to the north in
the country you call Montana, lived a
young Indian hunter, tall and straight and
very handsome. From boyhood lie had
heard stories of happy hunting grounds
where the pastures were always Uesn, ana
game was always in sight. So one bitter
cold morning he put on his snow shoes
and fur mittens, wrapped himself in his
warmest bear skin, and struck southward,
following the stony mountain ranges till
he reached this lonesome region."
Did he travel all alone?" asded little
Rosa.
"Only the traveling winds went with
him. But he did not know what fear is,
though at night he heard the cajote's cry,
the bellowing ot the bison and the howl of
the prairie wolf. The sun, winch lie wor
shipped, 6hone friendly all the way; grad
ually the breeze blew sotter, tke eartti grew
warmer and greener. After one long day's
march he drank deep of the spring in yon
hillside, laid his bent bow and quiver ot
arrows on the rock, and went to sleep in
the soft warm sand by the Blue Fountain.
"An Indian warrior sleeps lightly, ana in
his slumber appeared a form a woman's
such a shape as is seen nowhere but iu
dreams and Andalusia." The stranger
paused and looked dreamily on the ground
like one busy with memory, anu in sympa
thy I thought of the lost Catalina and the
little one lying in the gloomy vault at V ai
ladolid. We respected his silence, and af
ter a moment he continued :
"The spirit spoke to the dreamer in
words of infinite tenderness, and appeared
to watch and guard him. On waking he
took a long draught of the cool snow wa
ter, and gazed seachingly into its blue
depths."
"Was it really bluer broke m Kosa.
"Sky blue and silver," said the Castil-
ian, adding one of the endearing diminu
tives in which his language is so rich, ana
which I did not quite comprehend. "Many
times he tried to catch a glance of the fairy
lace which came into his sleep, maKing u
better than any waking. Long he gazed
into the watery mirror; it reflected only
his own tawny face and the spotless sky
above it. The white saint boiled irom the
unknown depths below, bubbles came to
the top and broke on the stony brim, but
the ceaseless gush and flow of the waters
was a chime in his ears without meaning.
He lingered about this spot, so runs the
tale, many weeks, praying for the appear
ance of the water maiden. She came into
his sleep but never blest his waking eyes,
and when the rainy season, which is so
very dreary, set in, the disappointed youth
went back to his tribe. The vision haunt
ed him; in vain he tried to 6hake it off. the
vega, so lone, so dim, so untrodden, was
filled with strange enchantment. The
brook went flowing through his memory,
glancing now in the 6un, cow in shadow,
as it gushed from the mountain side, van
ishing at last like fairy gold in the Faud.
The laughing girls of the tribe tried to rouse
him from indifference, but could not stir
him to join in their songs and games. In
the time of the corn harvest the present of
a blood-red ear, the Indian's roH' d'amour,
did not move him to any teeling, nd he
turned with glance averted from the f.yitg
feet in the bewitching cachina dance.
"He is moonstruck' said the girls;
'give him the crooked ear, for the fool is
fit for nothing but to sit in the ?un with the
very old men. He heeded neit-Vr jest nor
laugh, but determined to come back to the
Blue Fountain. When he set out an airy
figure seemed to go b'fore and beckon him
on, as the swan maens of the German
lakes beckon your knights into their little
boats drawn by snowy swans harnessed
with silver chaMs-
"Southward southward he strode, fol
lowing the Jcient march of Azailan. and,
insight tl"2 beloved spring, he climbed
the steeu I-'6 nn(i nntired as the red deer,
to find "lB saniu sparkling fountain, and
tie gbfling brook UpJow it running into the
vail 88 't run 00 forever.
Again he lay down on the soft, warm
fjt, and, once more the delicate phantom
fpeurud to his clos-'d eyes, whispered
feently in his ear, and bent above his head
as if to kiss him."
Hero the lovers "changed eyes," leaned
a trifle closer together, and 1 saw Romeo
pick up a blue ribbon dropped from Juliet's
sleeve and siip it into his watchpocket.
"Then a frantic love took possession of
the hunter. Day after day, night after
night, his wasting lor in was laid beside the
singing cascade; ever he sighed, mur
mured, dreamed. The strength left his
limbs, his blood beat hotly; summer
waned and cold winds blew, but never
envied the fever of his brow. Some
times after a day's hunt, returning at
evening ho fancied he saw a misty out
line against tho dark steep, but it melted
away as he neared it and instead of a living
woman, ho reached out to claap the empty
air. Then the warrior began to understand
this water spirit was of the race of Souls,
and as such could uot wed a mortal ; to
possess her, therefore, he must lie like her
must die. So one day w hen tho world
was all bright and his soul all dark, while
she sung a song ot wonderful music, lie
stretched his arms to reach the 'shadowy
siren . and plunged from tho black ledge
you seo yonder into the unknown depths
below."
"And was he never heard of afterward?"
asked Juliet, whilo the roses on her cheek
deepened in betrayed of her thoughts.
"Never, Hermrisura," said the Spaniard
with an admiring gesture, "but old Iueb
los alout here say two shapes rise out of
tho spring where there ussd to bo but one,
float in the air and hover above it. They
are oftencst seen about dusk in the rainy
reason. I have never seen them myself."
'I wonder if they do show that way,"
said Rosa with a puzzled face.
"Quien sabc," said Oreto mysteriously,
at tho same time handing her tho Kernel
of a riinon nut which he cracked in his
white lroct teeth.
And here let mo record that the words
"Quien sabc," "who knows," are the end
of controversy, the finish of debate, the
limit oi huraaa understanding, having
very different meaning according to the
persons speaking. With Oreto it was
much as to say, there is room for argument
on both sides.
All this time our stew had been simmer
ing, Cfypsy fashion, over the fire keeping a
friendly and impatient knocking at the pot
lid, and was now pronounced done. The
stout ladv roused un from her nap. set her
bonnet bias across he eyebrows, 6aid 6he
was glad the young Comanche came to his
senses at last, and then addressed herself
to the making of coffee.
I mpt Oreto frequently, and never
saw him unbend from the Hamlet air
"Man delights not me, no, nor woman
either," except on one holiday. So to
speak, he flavored the whole picnic. He
gafly insisted on seasoning every di6h. "I
will not ruin the olla for Americans with
too much red pepper," he said ; the merest
sojpeon. as the t rencn put it. -, inenne
contrived a nice, cool looking 6alad from
some crisp leaves, to me unknown, ana
served it with a deftness and tact that
would have graced a courtier. To tell the
whole troth, the elegant Castilian had so
much manner it was rather latiguing to
keep up with him.
Dinner over he took a large suk hanii-
kcrchief and showed how two prisoners of
the Inquisition were or.ee knotted together
with ropes, and allowed their freedom if
they could untie them, trying the puzzle on
the'lovers who, of course, struggled vio
lently to be free I need hardly add with
out success. Had he experimented on
some of the married couples possibly the
result might have been different. Follow
ing this was a gay barcarole about strolling
on the Prado, glancing eyes, winged feet
and envious veils. "It should haTe castan
ets in the chorous ; if Senor Brown will lend
me his hat it wil. answer."

The Popularity of tlie Equitable Life Assurance Society,
