The Little Islanders.

e.. Hirr.nI BY JAMES ". SIMMONS. rnlaN
In travelling up the Mississippi. NOT many years
ago, was induced to visit httle island that dots
that river, from motive 0f curiosity which, ia the
end was abundantiy gratfied. Here found set
otpeople. worthy, IN many respects Of being class
ed az a fifth race; and who. assnredly, would no;
have escaped the physiological nomenclature OF
Bume,,bach. had he ever visited the region in
que s,ioa These people-(who, by the way, were
extremely hosptabt )-spoke peculiar dialect
which, though not so broad as that prevailing IN
some paris ot England. was nevertheless of cha
accr toay dis'' set from that of their continental
ne ghbors; and, indeed, offered a mark by which
any one who may have conversed with them for ten
minutes at Il time, would as readily recognise them
IN kamschatka as on the sands of their own little
island. They were, moreover, as "dislinguishable
III member, JOINT, and limb, as they were in other
and more important particulars, from the rest of
the inh ibian,s Of that vast region-where every
thing. seems to partake of the inmcnsum iy,'itum-
que of Cicero.
In features these people resemble each other go
much, that al a distance it was no easy matter to
distinguish them and, even when near. unless you
were well acquainted with them. it often puzzles
you to know Paul from Peter. or James from John,
for 6" each seemed either" This singular resem-
bance extended to the tones of the voice, and
expression OF the countenance, which were pre-
cseiy the same in them all, or with such slight
shades of difference. that a person, meeting them
severally or in different places, or hearing them
speak at the same time in different rooms would
believe either that his senses grossly deceived him,
or that these people were possessed Of the power of
ubiquity-of being here and there and every where,
at one and the same moment. There was, in fact,
sort of family likeness running through the whole
race-so much 80, and extending SO completely to
all their personal attributes, that often wondered
how they managed to distinguish themselves, one
from another, and that the faculty Of seeing things
out Of sight," as DR. Johnson (n his Tour to the He
brdes) grayely defaes the superstition north of the
Tweed called ssecond sight" should not belong, OF
all people in the world, to these Little Islanders and
occasion among them terror and confusion than
ever did the ne,o step, introduced BY the Empress
Josephine among the ladies Of Paris very

Correspondence OF the Herald.l

HARRISBURG, Feb. l9, 1872
TIE Ba,lks and Bank BN-Thaddeus Stevens and
Col. M'Cahen.
Ne action has yet been had upon the Resumption
Bill and will not, IN all probability, for several
days. The Senate has been engaged chiefly on
anmportant business, except the Bank Bill, for the
past several days.
A bill was reported in the House this morning,
providing for a stay Of executions between the
Banks and their debtors, until the banks shall re-
sumo or 90 into Liquidation. This bill passed a
second reading and will, in all probability, pass
finally on Monday
We had quite fare up in the House yesterday
on this question, between Thaddeus Stevens the
great leader Of the anti masonic party, ard Coy.
M'Cahen, a aemoc ratic representative from the
county Of Philadelphia. MIR. Stevens in the course
OF his irks assailed the majority Of the House,
denominating them the federal party, and insisting
that he was the representative of and acted with
the only democratic party and as usual, in very
cool and apparently pleasant manner, made some
very happy hits The Col replied to him, and
described what he believed were the principles
knew what democracy was, il sanctioned no frauds
Its practical results was the dissemination Of
truth, the maintenance of virtue and patriotism,
the protector of the equal rights OF all mankind,
and the security of the sacred right Of suffrage from
fraud and violence. Then, said he, II these are
asong the principal features OF democracy, how
can he Mr.. assume the name or arrogate to
himself one Of its principles, in view Of the enor-
nous frauds and other reasonable acts Of 1888,
in which he mir. s SO largely participated, and
which had induced the people to place upon him
and those with whom he actrd, the plain, broad,
but never to be broken seal Of their disappro.
baton.
Mr.. Stevens replied He had occupied much
time in replying to the arguments of g.ntlemen that
he had not lime to hunt up vermin. Laughter and
cries Of "order,' "order."1
DIR. MCahen followed in most bitter and sar
| castle speech, OF which find myself unable te
give you sketch. He would notice the creature
because he happened to be representative here,
and although he Mr. C. had been denominated
vermin, the so denominating should not escape
that castgation which he so richly deserved. The
representative from Adams could not bear the
thrusts of the sword of truth. He[the Col could
DO. st as pure heart and a better name than he
| (Nr s. could dare to do and the corrupted and
infamous crawling reptile, [cries Of "order, order
and Ego on," ego on" from Adams could not avoid
him, although he, had Mr.. 8 left the Hall much
discomfted] cowardly crept out of the Hal, know.
ing that truth terrible 10 him, and If he tarried
he would hear it,
The Speaker here called to ordcr-the House
cried ego on" ego on" and some minutes elapsed
before quiet restored. Mr.. Stevens did not re.
turn to the House for some time, but when he did
every person present was satisfied that he had re-
ceived the severest rebuke he had ever expert
enced.
