Another Inspsrsnsssn I

The northern press have frequently exclaimed
against importations from the south. By refer
cnce to another column il will be seen tina, this
practice is still in vogue at Springfield, and that
the last case is one gilmore than ordinary atrocty.
How Mr.. Cushman expects to meet his honest
constituents after being guilty of such conduct,
it is surely difficult to conjecture. Possibly he
may have good excuse, however, and without
wishing. therefore, prematurely to prejudice the
public mind agninst him, we will at present SIM
ply direct the attention Of the reader to the naked
facts in another column.

Pei,nsphrnna.-A member of the Pennsylvania
legislature, by the name Of Deford-a very wise
man. and il is said, distant relation OF the great
fnancier, Nicholas BijdIe--has introduced bill
into The house of representatives, Of that state pro-
viding, among other things, that "auy person who
shall publish any thing in the newspapers or other
cise, calculated to dcpreciate the paper OF any spe-
Gle paying bank, shall be fined not exceeding
$1,000, and imprisoned at The discretion of tie
court" Such law would be equalled only by
the ''ordinary times" provision Of the Illinois
stay-law.

SPRrNGFIELn, l. eD. IL, 1919.
The canal bill was up in the senate yesterday
and underwent some discussion, but no vote was
taken on it. 1t is thought it may be passed to a
third reading tomorrow.
A bill to wind up the affairs Of the Shawnee
town bank and repeal its charter, was ordered to
no engrosscd and read third time in the house
yesterday, by vote of 10 to 30. Thus you see
that banks are not much in favor with this legis-
lature. There are efforts now making TO prevent
the passage of this bill, and procure the adoption
Of one which will prolong the existence of the
bank, and permit her, soon as she is able. to
resume specie payments and dscounting. This
have anticipated from the commencement of the
session. do not think, however, the effort will
be successful.

school Lands.

We observe, by letter from Judge Young, da-
ted Feb. |, published in the last Peoria Democratic
Press. that bill has passed congress, and only
needs the signature Of tho president to become a
law, authorizing the states Of Illinois, Arkansas,
Louisiana and Tennessee to sell the lands here
toforc appropriated for the of schools in those
states, and confirming all the sales Of such lands
heretofore mado by the authority Of tho laws of
said states. This puts to rest the vcxcd question
as to the validity Of the sales Of school lands.

even tho mos, feeble hope Of word Of

Ses the table, and serve up the last portion
81 food that remained. A loaf Of bread
and few slices Of cold meat, made up
her little store. As they were all about
drawing up to the table, there was loud
knock at the door, which Mrs. Jarvis inn
mediately answered.
Does Mr.. Jarvis live here ? asked a
rough voice.

Twenty-Five cents, sir responded the
drayman, bowling.
The twenty-five cen, piece was taken
from his pocket with quite an air, and
handed over. Then be and the little
family were alone again. During the
passage of the scene jus. described, the
wife stood looking on with a stupid and
bewildered air.-When the drayman had
departed, she turned to her husband and
said

solemcnly.
The almost heart-brokcn wife and
mother leaned her head upon the shout
der Of her husband and clung to his side
with newly revived confidence, tina. she
felt would not be disappointed, while the
tears poured from her eyes like drops
Of rain.-But her feelings we will not at
tempt to describe--nor dare to sketch
further the scene we have introduced.
The readers Imagination can do it more
justice, and to him we leave that pleasing
duty. with only the addition, that Mrs.
Jarvis newly revived hopes were not
sgain disappointed.
