A ROMANCE IN OLD STYLE.-A nice little
romance appears in the columns of the
Springfield Republican. One of the rosiest
maidens in that city, while hurrying to the
depot to take train, tripped, and SO grace
fully recovered herself as to win the admi-
ration of very misunderstanding old gen.
tleman. He assisted the young woman on
the train, and to a seat beside himself.
Conversation followed pleasantly and &C
quaintance ripened fast. On parting at
station not many niles west Of the city the
couple exchanged addresses. The old gen.
tleman proved to be a wealthy Chicago
merchant, who opened correspondence
with the heroine. She apparently wrote as
agreeably as she talked. Letters winged
their way between the city by the river and
the city on the lake. Then came PROPOSE
tion-not of marriage, but that the worthy
son of the susceptible parent be admitted to
the correspondence. The father gradually
drew out of the field, and the son more than
made his place good. Then came an offer
of marriage. 1t was accepted. Three souls
are happy, a brilliant wedding and luxuri-
GUS home are in prospect and the railroad
officials are greatly puzzled of late by the
number of Springfield girls who are STUN
bling, with more or less grace, aboard trains
bound for the great and glorious West.

Very few are aware of the fact that hay
is exceedingly beneficial to hogs; but it is
true, nevertheless. Hogs need rough food
as we'll as horses, cattle, or the human race.
To prepare it, you should have cutting
box, or hay cutter, and the greener the hay
the better. Cut the hay fine, and mix with
bran, shorts, or middlings, and feed as other
food. Hogs soon learn to like it, and if
soaked in swill or other slop food it is highly
relished by them. In Winter use for hogs
the same hay you feed to your horses, and
YOU will find that, while it saves bran,
shorts, or other food, it puts on flesh as rap
idly as anything that can be given them.

"Help! help!'
The cry sounded family above the beating
of the tide on the rocks, and reached the
ears of Nell Haviland, who stood watching
the waves as they slowly encroached upon
the sand.
'sSome one is in the cove, said the girl;
running along the edge of the cliffs she bent
over the rocky precipice. She saw woman,
evidently half dead with terror, crouching
at the foot of the cliffs.
ssShe will be washed away before l can
get help. l must help her myself" said
Nell to herself.

A Revival Of Col. Dan, Johnson's Bill o.
IWO Year, Ago,

AW0 AEaEn AE0s
The Senate Committee on Railroads re.
ported back yesterday Senate Bill No. g.,
regulating the transportation Of freight
by railroad corporations" with the recon-.
mendation that it do pass. The bill was
introduced by Senator Lew. Newman, Of
Marshall county, and in its main features
ia but reproduction OF the bill reported
to the Legislature Of 1879, which had its
birth at the hands Of the johnson com.
mittes,
The first section recites that every rail.
road corporation shall give all persons
reasonable and equal terms, facilities and
accommodations for the transportation Of
themselves, their agents and servants and
OF any merchandise or other property Of
every kind and description, upon any
railroad owned or operated by such cor
poTation and for terminal handling, the
use OF the depot and other buildings and
grounds OF such corporation, and TO any
point where its railroad shall connect with
any other railroad, reasonable and equal
terms and facilities OF interchange, and
shall promptly forward merchandise con-
signed or directed to be sent over another
road connecting with its road, according to
the directions contained thereon or accom-.
panyinG the same.
The second section provides against dis.
eliminating rates charged by companies,
and the third section prohibits the grant
ing 70 persons or associations, either
directly or indirectly, any secret rate,
drawback, rebate, or any unreasonable al.
lOwance Tor use OF cars or any undue adj
vantage whatever.
The fourth section establishes the car
load as the unit Of shipment, and provides
that no railroad corporation snail charge
or receive Tor the transportation OF two or
more car loads OF freight greater or less
sum per car than Is charged or received
for single car load OF like class Of freight
for cotemporaneous shipment between
the same points from road or roads, &c,
The penalty prescribed for any violation
oil the provisions OF the act, in addition to
liability for all damages sustained by rea,
son OF such violation, is $500 for every
offence, which may be recovered in action
Of tort in any soulty where such corpora.
ton has property.
Whether this bill will fill "the long felt
want" oflegislation on this subject is dill.
cult to determine. 1t is possibly as fair
asother bills introduced, and will, no doubt,
receive that consideration at the hands OF
the Senate the importance OF the subject
ii treats OF demands.

ons Of the most sudacious cssea Of high.
way robbery on record oceurred last
evening at en- early hour on Fourteenth
street, not far from the ISTRLLIGENCER
Office, About hall past eight o'clock Alr.
VIM. G. Wilkinson, q clerk at the Ex'
change Bank, was coming down Four.
tenth street with q tin cash box under
his left arm and ledger under the other.
He is Treasurer OF q building association,
and was returning from the meeting with
the receipts and account book in his
possession as stated.
Just in front OF J.. A. Miller's grocery
he observed two men coming towards
him, walking one behind the other, Is
though to escape the deep snow ut the
sides Of the beaten path. He stepped
half aside to allow them to pass, but in.
stead OF doing so the one in front, Just "a
he came up to Mr.. Wilkinson, suddenly
grAsped him by the throat and threw him
70 the ground. Mr.. Wilkinson struggled,
but the asssilant kept his throat in grasp
OF iron and tbs other man snalched
the. box from beneath his arm.
He made another effort to arise,
when his asssilant either struck him with
his fist or kicked him with his foot in the
face, Wilkinson cannot be sure Us to the
method OF administering the blow, but
thinks it was with the foot. At any rate
the stunning blow quieted him Tor q
second, which served tine robbers to make
their escape half way across the street
in the direction Of the alley in
the rear Of PolloCk's dour mill.
Mr.. Wilkinson almost Immediately
recovered, and yelling, "Murder PoiCeI'
pursued the thieves, One OF them hall
turned as they reached the alley, and
fred shot from pistol, probably with
intention Of alarming him, and causing
him to desist from the chase. He, how.
ever, pluCkily followed until they were
lost in the darkness,
The pistol shot and Mr., Wilkinson's
cries soon collected crowd, but too late
10 render any assistance, He went to y
barber shop on Market street and had his
clothes brushed, and then investigated
the extent OF the damages sustained. His
throat was rather sore from the rough
handling, and his lace showed the
effects OF the blow given 1t. The
cash in the box was something over 500,
but there were also checks and orders to
an amount somewhat in excess OF 5000,
These, OF course, will be OF no account TO
the thieves.
Mr.. W. thinks the robbers have been
him for some time on building
association nights, aud that the parties
were no strangers in the city.
