THE OLD COIN.

massy lump Of brass and bronze
Moulded by pOnderOus blow on blow
For Nero or vespaslaus son
In ages dim and long ago.
A cruel mouth, a swlnlsh chin,
A wolash eye, almost erased,
But half the date victory,
Two words, and those almost defaced.
Wherels the Golden Palace now
That on the Palatine arose?
Where are the statue guarded doors?
Where are the temple porllcos?
For disks of metal shaped like this
Swords have been drawn and Lethe crossed
For this, in greedy hope, mems souls
Have been by PASSIONS tempest tossed.

This Is buried C@sar's fame

THE BANKS,
Watch the motions of the banks,

Watch the motions Of the banks,
Busy banks!
HOW they close up like an army moving on in solid
ranks,
Spite Of wind and spite of weather,
Firmly keeping step together,
Foot to foot and hand In handl
Then the wheels Of speculation
Roll and rush through all the nation,
And the business Of the land
Sways and tosses like feather,
Floating hither, drifting thither,
AS the breeze is hushed or famed
BY the curious, curious actions of the solid solid

THE Republican revolutionary fllibus-
tering in the House, on the Apportion.
ment bill, returned to plague its invent.
ers. Conger and the Republican mem.
bers successfully resisted every effort to
reach direct vote on the number of
representatives, until the session was
near it's close. When a vote was per-
mitted, the number they favored, 3l9,
was carried by small majority, twelve
Democrats voting with the Republicans
for that number, But it was too late for
action by the Senate, and the bill was
not reported from the Census Committee
of that body, as under the rules single
objection would defeat it. Talk of Dem
ocratic blundering The Republicans
fillibustered for weeks to prevent vote
on the Apportionment bill, when the re.
suit proved they had the strength to
carry the bill as they wanted it. They
only realized their stupidity when it was
too late to pass the bill through the Sen.
ate. At the next session, Democrats
will dictate the consideration of the bill,
just as Republicans did at the recent sea.
