May return again. | shall not pursue
that bit of ancient poetry any farther,
for fear that you, Mr.. Editor, might
in terror consign my poetica effusion
to the ever convenient wsste basket.
| will therefore just state that at this
writing the ground is covered with
snow and all the surroundings bear
the appearance Of mid-winter.
Thomas, son Of Henry and Matilda
Lewis, died February 22d. Also
Benjamin, infant son of John Quiv-
ers, aged years, 6 months and s
days; both died of that dread disease
consumption; the relatives have the
sympathy of the community.
Mr.. Martin Wilson died of heart
disease on Sabbath evening, March
I'd. His remains were taken to Mid
dleway, Jefferson county, West Vir-
ginia, and inferred by the side of his
beloved wife. The children are there
fore called upon to mourn the loss of
both father and mother within a
year. The children thus orphaned
have the entire sympathies Of kind
hearted Christian community.
Mrs. Fanny Jones has been quite
i'll, but em glad to say she is much
better.
Mrs. Elizabeth Lee has been quite
ill this winter, but has considerably
improved. 1t is our hope that she
may entirely recover her health and
be spared for many years to our com
munity, TO which she is both orna-
mental and useful.
l am glad to read of the election
of my old friend Simpson as Alder
man of the Eighth, and hope his
shadow may never grow less.
Am glad to see through the col,
umns of the JOURNAL that my young
friend, F. G. BATHS, stands so well,
politically, with his people, and hope
his self denying spirit may be emu
lated by the many aspiring young
colored leaders of the different sec.
tons, that is, nothing for self but
everything for the race, and in this
view only can our political future as
a race be assured.
Pardon me for straying into polit,
ical pastures, but the future of our
people to me is Of infinitely more i'm
portance than all other things COM
bined; for it is a stern fact that we
must either carve out our own future
or remain without future so far as
political advancement is concerned
Which shall it be?

1t is great pity that country of such
antold wealth as Hayt' should be con-
stantly in a state Of revoation, but moth
ing else can be expected. The country
can amply support its population with
out the necessity of work and industry,
hence the Incidence of the people and
their objection to allow trade, which
brings its foreign clement to settle in
the country, which they want to have
themselves. The laws Of the coun try
sufficiently show the peoples antipathy
to the white people. No foreigner can

watched him while he was arguing e
case in one of the courts: '''He was
dressed in what might be called the
style of the antique renaissance. His
trousers were continental in cut and
modest in color; a black vest was cut low
enough to display an expanse of immac-
ulate linen, and was ornamented by a
plain gold watch chain, with horseshoe
pendant. His neckwear displayed dis
like of new style. Over an old fashioned
stock of black silk, reaching wellsup to-
ward the chin, rolled starchless collar,
completing picture suggesting the por-
trait OF some statesman of half a century
ago. There was a quaint dignity about
the famous jurlst which, withal, formed

from The Chicago Journal.
The ceremony Of introd ucing 8 bill ID
its proper order is q very simple sone,
and one very easily accomplished.
Monday Of each week is bill day and,
after the morning hour, the states are
ralled ID their order for the introduc-
lion Of bills. Z Then any member may rise
I'm place as his state is called and, holding
mp his package Of bills, yell Mr..
speaker. Perhaps there may bea half
half dozen from his state yelling at. the
same, but, fshR has sts onger lungs than
the other fellows, be- may get the first
recognition from the speaker. Ifso, the
speaker looking toward him. says; The
Gent. eman from Illinois," 81 whatever
state the recognized member may hail
from. Ifthere are more than one from
that state on the floor at once, as is usu-
ally the. case, the speaker indicates the
one recognized, by adding ''on the right
Of the chair" "or on the left" or Tin
i # it is '' necessary Ssv t to p e.
still more explicit, he adds to the GUS
tomary recognition the / name OF the
member. When the gentleman desiring
to offer a bill or bills has thus secured q
recognition, he holds up his package
containing the bills, and says II desire
to offer bill forrefere nee, Mr.. SPEAKER
Then a page boy, or, perhaps two or
three of them bound madly toward
the member, seize the package and
rush with it to the reading clerk, whose
stand is just in front of the speakers desk,
Then the speaker says: The gentleman
from Illinois introduces the foloWine
Ebill."' Then the clerk readsin stentorean
ones the title offthe bin, for, as the
nubbub on bill day (and at any other
ime for that matterD is like that of q po-
iitical convention, it is only by very loud
|.reading that he can be heard at. all
After the2bill is read bysits title II e
speaker refers to its proper conntittee.
It then goes through the hands ofs the
proper clerks, isendorsed and Registered
Ind finally sent to the room Of the com
'uittee to which it is assigned, and, being
properly endorsed and registered is
,luly pigeon oled, and permitted to
await the action of the committee. In
nalf the cases the committee does not
at on the bill. Perhaps it discusses it,
perhaps not even so much as that.
