CAKI-ISI^K'S BILL.

Secretary Carlisle's curreucy bill, introduced in the House by llou. \N llliaui •EM. Springer and reported favorably by a majority of the committee, was hauled off for repairs after the first skirmish engagement, even before the mainlines of battle had opened fire.

The minority made a report which exposed the true character of the bill. and so general was the disgust that probably Mr. Springer was forced to withdraw it and put in a substitute- This sub-

objectionable as the original bill.

Among those aspiring to a seat io the Senate from one of the Northwest ern States is Hon. John L. Wilson, o! Washington, and his State could make no better choice. He has been a member of the House for several terms, and is most admirably equipped for the Senate. A man of very marked ability. verged in parliamentary usages.2',of broa'd and liberal views, he would be able to accomplish far more for his State than any new man who coulil be chtisen. Of all the members from the nevt States, he has been one of the most energetic and influential, and has worked constantly and hard for the interests of his State. His eleciion would be a credit to his State aud a benefit to the whole couutrv.

doubtful. If it comes under such a galling fire as the original bill, audit! undoubtedly will, its fate can be detennined before it reaches the Senate.

HON. JOIIX I- WILSON.

Hecause of great matters that will cSffie before the next Congress, the whole country is more that usually deeply interested in the character of the men who will be chosen iu the various States, this Winter, to occupy seats in the greatest legislative body of the country. Speaking on this sub- lonely pi ject the Cincinnati Commercial GuzetU has this to say concerning a gentleman in whom Crawfordsville feels a personal interest:

CANNING FACTORY ItA/.K. The canning factory craze is sweeping over tbe State not unlike the creamery craze of a years ago. The men who are working the canuing schemes are the same men who sowed brought heiv creameries indiscriminately in times pital. not long gone by.

Indiana run as private enterprises, either one of which is the equal, if not the superior, of Bloomington. Do the

people of this State desire to put their

money into an institution which is simply a weak competitor of these fifteen private institutions, or do they prefer to make it a university in fact and place it alongside of Michigan? If they are not willing to make it an institution such as would be an honor to {State, far better let the old thing or turn it over to the city of loomington as a gift.

He says:

The State I'nivei-ity is seventy years old, and yet it has graduated less than a thousand students. It has the proceeds of seventy thousand acres of laud as an endowment, aad now the State pays out of its public treasury 840.000 a year towards current expenses, besides frequent special appropriations. Last year one of these reached the fat sum of $"0,000. and there is a special tax levy, amounting to about 865,000 a year, for twelve years, to increase the endowment fuud.

Maxey looked a iittle bewildered, but he seized his hat aud coat, without making a reply, and darted down the stairs. "What very excitable people hese Maxoys are!" thought, the philosophic doctor 2s he went away. "And what a deal of interest they do take in this easel I wonder where. Miss Ellen went to? How pretty she looked when her blood was up! There would be some satisfaction in crossing such a woman just for the picture one would get. But, ball, what am I thinking nliont? What is this to me?"

Nevertheless he sighed aa ho went back half lioartedly to his work again. Till very recently this work had been his pride and his life. Now as he took it up it seemed like a task, almost a burden. There was a woman's face—a handsome but hot a welcome face—before his eyes night and day. Something was wrong with Dr. Lamar, somt

"I tielic-vc yi'm could do wonders, of course." returned Mar.ey a little spitefully, for he was still sull'oriiig the keenness of his disappointment. "But 1 would like to.be informed, for instance, what vou 7,'oiild do in this .case?" "Do? 1 witild hnnt up that Mrs. Hapgood who v.T"te that letter if I had to question every man, woman and child the city to do so. "Of course you wonld. and so would anybody. That is just what the police did do. Only they were sane enough to look in the directory instead of attempting the catechising. Why, they had a gentleman in conversation with Mrs. Hapgood before the letter had been in their hands an In air. "Then there is such a person 1" cried the doctor and Miss .Maxev together. 'Oh. yes, there is, but she never heard of or saw the letter before, and, what is 1.,orel she is no! acquainted with any Annette and has not a single friend or foe to her knowledge missing or to whom such a letter could he written or such an accident possible.

Mi's. Hapgood is a very worthy and respectable old ladv indeed, it is no use to say she would lie about such au affair. Yon see. 1 couldn't believe it secondhand, and 1 have been to see her myself, and that's the result."

Maxey (lung his gloves moodily 011 the center table and dropped himself with a disgusted expression into an easy chair, which his sister had wheeled in front of the grate.

They were at work in a dry a sign of water in siirht. and had brought the auriferous sand ill basket's to the mouth of the ravine, where the wind blew strongly down '.lie valley. Their washing apparatus consisted of a heavy army blanket, in the center of which they placed about a peel: of the sand then, I each Mexican taking hold of the ^blanket, by the corners, they tossed the sand high aloft again and again.
