" the JUDGMENT"

A poem has just been published by Mr.
Jas. Eastburn, in this city, under the title Of
"THE JUDGMENT, A VISION Blythe
author Of Percys .ha'que." which we have
read with uncommon interest. Ii is IN blank
verse; the Style OF 1t Is cbas;e, smooth, and
elegant. Indeed, We have rarely met with
a poetical composition, in which the versIf'
cation was mUre entire iy free from defec!:,
or more uniformly CONNIE ndatie.
The. subjec, OF this work Is the FINAL
JUDGMENT-a theme at once solen n,
awful, and sublime beyond all others. It's
desc ribed as having been seen in a sIs or;S
though we Can barely conceive sutJe n
which a writer would find bImsei stiei {.
with more intrinsic dificnl,ies-G'fhN b!
arising from its soIeunity and a. t.

Indeed, We think our country has produtr
few finer specimens OF poetical genIu; anu
talent. We give the following as spec'-

time, We might have extracted almost any
other passage with equal propriety.

SPECTATOR
EDWARDSyILLE, SEPTEMBER A, 1891.

The following editorial article from
the Shawneetown paper, although writ
ten in haste, is so full of good sense that
it needs no reUiezo to recommend Il TO
the public. 1t is sholt, but speaks a
language that all friends to their country
should now hearken to. At the session
Of Congress before last, bill! passed the
House OF Representative increasing the
tariff of duties on imported goods. That
bill proposed to place the manufacturing
interest of the United States upon safe
and liberal focting-it proposed to en-
courage and protect the industry of our
own country. Had that bin have passed,
our country would have worn different
garment from that which it now wears.
Instead offoreiga frippery covering do
mestic bankruptcy, it would nowb be found
clad in substantial homespun, reposing
in the lap of plenty. And WHY it will
be asked, did not this bill pass the
SENATE? The answer is, majority
OF ONE was against it. And however
painful it may be to relate it, it is not the
less true, that that one was a Senator
from Illinois-,he Hon. JESSE 3.
THOMAS. When ruin has ovcrtaken
us, surely our Senator will no longer ne
glect the great interests Of the nation, to
please few sellers of the Products OF
negro labor. If tariff cannot be had,
then we must look TO the patriotism of
our own people--and as was done in the
time of the revolution, s7uear to wear no.
thing made by the subjects of foreign
tyrants. Communicated

ME Board Of Directors of this insti-

porary and partial suspension Of specie
payment.--In order, however, that as lit
tie inconvenience as possible, may follow
the adoption of this measure, the Bank
will continue to redeem all its notes, in
specie, Of a denomination less than ten
dollars until it shall resume specie pay
ments generally. The motives which
have governed the Board in the adoption
of this course ofpolicy, may be found in
justi6able right of self-preseryaion,
exercised at different times, by almost
every bank within the United States, and
more peculiarly SO when large and in
cessant drains Of specie have been made
by persons (having no interest in the
general welfare of the state or its insti-
tutions,) whose intentions are to transport
the same to remote and distant points in
other states, and when it is evident that
such expectations of specie effect most
materially the citizens of the state from
which the same may be drawn he-
Their this course OF policy will prevent
these drains time will determine.

ON THE USE OF FLANNEL,

A gentleman having published, in one
Of the daily papers, communication
against the use of flannel next the skin
during the summer season, which may
tend to do more harm than good, the
writer of this communication thinks it his
duty to state what he has himself cx-
perienced, that the public may draw their
conclusions from opposite opinions.
In climate like this, where violent
changes are continually taking place /;
where variation of wind will cause a
difference Of from 80 to 40 degrees in the
thermometer, every precaution should
be taken, more especially an TIE summer,
against check Qfherst,iration, the cause
of one half the tevers, and nearly all the
consumptions, that afaict mankind; and
il there is any season in which flannel
next the body can be dispensed with, il
IS in the. svinser, when perspiration cam
not be so easily checked, from the diff
fculty of getting the body into that state.
1t is well known fact, that mos, Of
the inhabitants of tropical climates in
case the whole body with flannel, and
highly recommend it to all strangers, as
a great preventative from taking fevers,
the body by its use becoming gradually
cool; and there are many who have ex-
pericnced the unpleasant sensation Of
zvet linen touching the body, when ex-
posed to sea breczes, which generally
succeed sultry mornings.
Where can be found more robust
class Of people than sailors and laborers
who are exposed to the burning rays Of
the sun throughout the day? Yet these
people wear shirts made Of baise or fan
mel, and are seldom or never afflicted
with fevers or consumpticns, unless from
the effects Of intenperance.
In climate like this, the breast need
only, be guarded BY flannel; and, after
using it little time, the wearer will be
unconscious that il is zparl Of his railnenl.
This the writer asserts from fifteen years
experience not only in this, but in The
different climates Of Europe. and Asia,
during which time he has never expo
rienced days. sickness /; whereas, pre-
viously, not year passed but violent
coughs afflicted him nearly one-third Of
the time. rs

from THE PHILADELPHIA UNION.
EXTRACT,

Bank ofthe Commonwealth or Kentucky
Two principles have been introduced
into this modification of the banking sys.
TEN, which are, perhaps, worthy OF pub
lie appreciation.
Tne first is, that all the profits OF the
hank are to be paid into the state treasu'
ry. 1t is the amount Of bills Of credit
which .ank can issue beyond the spe.
e;o IL pvssessoo that constitutes the prIn'
cipal source of gain; and but for this,
each man would lend his own money
If the state can secure the profits accru.
ing from paper currency, the advantages
are more equally distributed than when
they go to enrich the monied interest.
The second principal is, that il was
designed to enable the unfortunate 10 pay
with paper debts contracted when haher
Git we may be allowed so to speak) zvua
the standard ofVaiue.
The distrssses Of the people OF Ken
lucky arise principally from the difficult
~ Of fulfilling old contracts. The debts
which press SO heavily on them, were in
Cured whenproperty was by the banking
mania raised to price three or four
times exceeding its real value.---Now, to
enable the people 10 fulfil their contracts
according to the literal Interpretation Of
their terms, the produce oftheir land and
tabor must be Immediately quadrupled,
or itImust bring three or four times its
price in market. But, owing to the dis
of society, which always fol-
lows when bubble bursts as grea, as the
Kentucky banking bubble, the annual
produce of their land and labor is proba-
bly, less than it was six years ago; and,
owing to variety Of circumstances, the
price of their staples is falling instead Of
rising. 4
Both these circumstances concurring,
it is very evident thatthe people OF Ken
lucky canno, pay with specie debts con-
tracted when paper was the standard Of
value.
