. A TWENTY-SIXH OUR TALK.
Patriotic aud Terrible Speech Against Time
-.,:l.. TOkill Bill.

.5,;<.. $3.50 f. To XIII Bill
al: Peoria National Democrat
The longest speech on record is said to
have been made by Democratic men,
Der of the Legislature OF British Column
bla, named De Cosmo. 1t was IN the in
terest OF settlers, who were to be delraud-
ed of their lands. De Cosmo was IN the
hopeless minority. The job had been
held back till the eve of the close of the
session. Unless legislation was taken
before noon of a certain day the act of
confiscation would fail. Tic day before
the expiration Of the limitation, De Cos
m" got, the floor about 10 a. m., and be
gan a speech about the bill. Its friends
cared little, for they supposed that by
1 or 2 p. m. he would be through, and
the bill could he put on its passage. One
p. m. came and De Cosmo was still speak
lng-hadn't more than entered upon his
subject. Two o'clock-he was saying,
''in the second place." Three o'clock-he
produced fearful bundle of evidence
and insisted on reading it. The majority
began to have q suspicion of the truth
he was going to speak till the next noon
to kill the bill. For while they made
merry over it, bu: as it came on dusk,
they began to get alarmed. They tried
Interruptions, but soon abandoned them,
because each one afforded him chance
to digress and gain time. They tried to
shout him down, but that gave him
breathing space, and they finally settled
down to watch the combat between the
strength of will and weakness of body
They gave him no mercy. No adjourn
ment for dinner; no chance to do more
than to wet his lips with water; 10 wan
dering from the subject; no sitting down.
Twilight darkened, the gas was lit men,
bers slipped out to supper in relays, and
returned to sleep in squads, but De Co.'S
mo kept on: The speaker to whom he
was addressing himself was alternately
doing, snoring, and trying to look
awake.
Day dawned, and majority Of the
members slipped out to breakfast, an.t
the speaker still held on. It can't be
said it was very logical: eloquent, or
sustained speech. There were dig res
sions in it; repetitions also. But the
speaker kept on till at last noon came to
a bafiled majority, livid with rage and
impotence, and a single man who was
trlum phant, though his voice had fallen
to whisper, his eyes We're sunk and
bleared and bloodshot, his limbs totteretl
under him, and his pale lips were cracked
and smeared with blood. De Cosmo had
spoken twcnty-six hours and saved the
settlers their lands.

in perfect silence, and saw no more of
each other that night; and when Annie
awoke in the morning Will was on his
way to London. Now that she had time
for reflection, she felt that she still loved
that man. She felt annoyed with him for
deceiving her; and yet, after further
thought She decided that it was pardon
able dcccption-but, there was that dis
grace.
She consulted with her great friend,
Mrs. Maria, who advised her to wait a
bit, and let her father know all about
Will Ferguson.
If Milton had felt disgraced by Will
Ferguson when he fled a defaultcr, it
now did Its best to try and give him a
firm footing once more. The local news
paper contained long ~laudatory para
graph commencing his honorable con-
duct in refunding double the amount
which he had stolen, and old Mr.. Noble
had shaken him heartily by the hand,
wishing him we'll and entirely forsiving
him. Will was now proprietor, too, OF a
good renumerativc business, and had
good credit in The commercial world. By
degrees, where his disgrace had been

it had never been heard of. :
! So old Mr.. landlord wrote to his
daughter and babe her please herself; he
was satisfied Ferguson had learned les
son from the past, and meant for the fu-
ture to do we'll. And thus it came to
pass that Will one day in October, re-
ceived letter from his friend Mrs. Maria
Smith telling him to come down and try
again. He went, and, one Sunday after
noon, exactly seven years after they had
first met, these two, who had waited. for
their fate so long, plighted their troth.
And one day, when the snowdrops were
peeping up through the hard, wintry soil,
the bells of Beacondale church rang out q
merry peal For Will. Ferguson had de-
termined to wed his wife at the church
where he had first seen her; and 50 after
tie long years of disgrace ana pain, and
