old Gov John Reynolds was Speaker. Although
he had much experience in public life, he has al
ways forgotten to learn anything about Parlia-

to his own fancy. On one occasion, a member
rose and made inquiry as to what had become of
certain resolution which he had offered
Speaker.-"What resolution, sir!''
Member-"A resolution of inquiry in reIa-
ton to banks.''
Spcaker.-"It is upon the table, as dead as

y AT another time, Mr. Brown, of sangammon,
was pressing measure through, and it being
likely to prevail, one of its opponents moved an
adjournment. Mr. b. called for the yeas and NAYS.
10 this the Speaker paid no attention, and was
about putting the question, when the call was re-
peated.
