Mr. Ryan's Compulsory Education

bill was taken up as a special order in the House, on Tuesday, and put upon its passage, failing to . pass for

want of a constitutional majority, it

was opposed by nearly all of the Democrats and a few Republicans. The vote

stood, yeas 40: nays 89.- .During tne

debate Mr. Ryan stated that the Illinois Legislature had taken bis bill for a model, and passed a compulsory education law, before bis bill had passed engrossment. That's the difference between a live legislature ik a porgiessive State and a fogy legislature in a pod-hammer State, but the live men arc coming' to he ffoni in Indiana and the days of pod-hauimensm are numbered. Nearly all of the Democrats, and a few Republicans, in the House, were thrown into a conniption fit Tuesday afternoon by reports from the Committee on Temperance on the proposed prohibition amendment to the constitution The majori'.y report favored the joint resolution proposing the amendment; the minority report opposed the resolution. The minority

report, after considerable mi mistering by the Democrats, was laid on the table, and the nndorily report concur

red in. The resolution would have passed but for technical defects, which a special committee of the friends of the measure was instructed to amend. The Democrats who some time ago were such strong temperance men, and were so much troubled on account of the lack of Republican zeal for radical legislation, were on the other side Tuesday, and exhausted parliamentary strategy in efforts to defeat or delay a measure generally demanded by the people, aud which proposes to give the people an opportunity to express their opinion of radical temperance laws, outside of polities. The resolution proposing the prohibition amendment will be passed by the House, but its fate in the Senate is very uncertain. Thursday was a busy day in both houses of the Assembly. In th-3 Senate several House bills were passed, among which were the following: Authorizing railroad companies i- construct; and operate telegraph companies fur commercial purposes: for the

The rood sup led Co the inmates is ban and insuSicienr, the dhe:pline is relaxed and demoralized, aud the Superintendent is it competent. The minority report, by Democrats, one of whom h lis been on a spree for nearly five 'weeks, ' attempts tu -whitewash everything. Senate bills were passed as follows: To authorize ranks to decrease their capital stock j authorizing County Boards to vacate" cemeteries: The six per cent interest bill was again called up, and failed to pass for wan t of a constit utional majority, laokiug three votts. The House bill authorizing tl.ic purchase of toll roads, to make them free roads,, was passed. In some of the turnpike counties of ihe State this bill is considered as one of the roost important of the. session. Th'o House, also, cleared Ita files of ail but two of the Codifying Commissions that have Peen introduced in this body. One of these two was not reached for action, aud the other, ihe bill to aid th. Supreme Court by the appointment of Commissioners to prepare eases for the Supreme Judges, failed for want or a constitutional majority. The indications are that this bill can not pass the House. The subjects of tbe code bills passed may be stated as follows: Concerning husband and wife; to amend section 3 of the law relating to marriageblocking the false swearing for runaway minors; to provide for printing the acts of the General Assembly; concerning the incorporation of street railway companies; prescribing who may make a will; amending section 15 of the railroad act by requiring that railway companies shall ivo bond for the payment of right of way damages before entering: upon

of Major-General Sumner, whose guest the President was dm in u: his brief stay, he had more than ordinarily good advantages for observing his peculiarities, which, it is needless Ho say, he improved t the utmost. . What iirst i expressed m e abu u t President Lincoln was the excessive awkwardness of his figure and the fact that his clothes, didn't seem to fit him Tall, gaunt and ungainly, he certainly looked like a rail-splitter going about in his Siiuday suit, or an undertaker temporarily out of business. This latter

resemblance was intensified by the melancholy character of his features and the coat, vest, and trousers of fu

neral bind:; in which he was habitually attired. The expression of hi j face was odd mingling of shrewdes?, sagacity and native fi.ndness; and. despite its, sadness, there continually jinked about tle corners of his mouth gleams of qua! tit humor which none of his pictured eive the slightest indication.

Mr. I an coin wore what was commonly called a plug hut, and, although it may have only lieen of eonventional l jngth, it appeared to me extra ordinarily trfll.. Although it may well: be doubted If any of her species of hat would have l etter become him, I re-i m em he r t h t u ki u g a t i h e ti m e that the j stovepipe added greatly to the odd n ess and gro't'S'f quelle of his appearance, TI 1 e t rot ps we re to ba rev ie wed on' the day of his aj rival, and 1 remember ed the General v as very much pr-j plexed as to the eharactei of the Presi dent's mount, and--finally-consulted

him as to the kind ot? charger he would prefer. I remember hie answer : as plainly as if it. were only yesterday. 'Gwerai," said he, uauy kind of a

quiet beast will do. 1 don't think 1 was cut out for a cavalryman; and I'm afraid a high-spirited war-steed might prove a little too much for me." In the General's stud Was a little sorrel mare called Bonnie, the soul ot gentleness and good temper, and he at once proj osed her for Mr. Lincoln's use. . A11 right," said the President; llI guess the mare will suit me to a T; besides, among horses, that sex is much the easiest to manage. This remark, however," he added, with a sly twinkle in his eye dots not hold good of humanity," When Mr. Lincoln was mounted on Bonnie his appearance was more peculiar than ever. The litt'e mare was not more than fourteen hands high, and go great the length of the President's legs thai onet fairly settled in his saddle his ieot nearly touched the ground, As he ruefully remarked, glancing at his extremiiu?s, "if I was only two inches longer, 1 think I'd get off and walk."

Sumner looked Hfco u veritable cavalier of old, while the Chic? Magistrate of the Republic, by comparison, had ihe appearance of jorae quiet eouuiry parson who, in am blhig to morning service, had fallen among military man by mistoKo. Howerer, thneitthnsi-xsm of the men for the plain -looking civilian was tremendous, and the President was much pleased with, the review. Particularly was he delighted with the sphifc of t ie. troops, which was evidently much better than he had expected. As he rode back he said to the General, gleefuliy, "Tho boys seem a3 if they were willing to go in again tomorrow," a sentiment to which that orlloer assented. After tiur return to camp the President dined heartily, and toward evening went away to viMt some other Generals. It was about eiht o'clock and getting dark when Genera! Bum ner ordered me to send his colored servant to him. This was a sprightly contraband, whom the men had christened Stonewail Jackson, but on tho present occasion Stonewall belied the promptness of his namesake and was not feifhcoining.

In 18S7 a firm in Boston failed, owing a note held by a New York bank, which bore the indorsement of a. Boston iirm, which also stopped payment during the panic. A few days ago the bank in New York was called upon by a representative of one of the iudorsers with a statement of the transaction, which, upon referring to the booksjof the bank, was found to be correct. The gentleman, to the astonishment of the officials, stated that, he was author ized by the Boston gentleman to pay the principal and interest, and thereupon handed over a check for $12,800, which was found to be correct. The bank officers say they have no legal claim to tne amouut; that the bank had changed its charter and had itself experienced linauclal ditHculties. but

Clearing away the rock ., obstruction:? ot Hell Gate seems to be the first and an important movement, toward chart gt n g to som e ex te n t the c urren t of shipping business aud trade at this port. A casual observer, standing on the shore of the East river at Asona, oor posite Gen. Newton's engineering works, would have no idea of the busy little. world down under the superh cum bent and swift ed ly ing water. -He would see a small artificial island, made expressly for tlu ground' work of all the operations, and on that ternparary structure a few men employed, and he might notice the htearn and

smoke and ratt Jug of the machinerv

but he would not think of the great undertaking going oh beneath. " This

island, which is a speck' comparative,

amiust ine surging water, rests on tne

backbone, so to speak, of Floo d rock,

which w to be shattered and sunk Here is. the .shaft by v'hicli the worlr

When one is near, the pu ffin g a team, noise of the machine, the smoke" rising from the chimney and the geu'eral' appearance give the impression of a factory in full

is not very deep, tne distance from' ihe

mouth to the floor 01 the tunnels being sixty. feet.. These funnels' are' seven feet high and abou?: five fett. wide Over them, and supported byockJeft in place, is the roof, o'f t welve feet of solid stone. Tho weight of the water pressing on this is.vnry great, there being at times of high tide Hot less than twenty-six feet of water. Although there is a continual dripping through the roof no danger cs.n beapprehendedv for the strength aud the arrangement of the supports have been studied by theablest scientific men. There isnot a foot of the nine acres or .rock whose character, lay, clip,1, fissure and sustaining power is unknown t'o tbe' engineers. It has all been mapped but sis accurately as if it were surface ground in broad daylight; J ust as science tells usi of the mountains, valleys, streams and nature of the materials thousand of fathoms deep at the bottom of the ocean, so it has told the Hell Gate engineers all about tho rock hidden by the waters of the East river, only more thoroughly and in the minutest details. There are ten tunnels six;hundred feet long running in the same dhection as the river flows: These are crossed at right angles by others .which aje shorter. There are thirteen of the latter. They are like harrow streets of a town enveloped in darkness. The length or the tunnels in all is nearly two miles and a half. There beiug no other light than that which is faintly emitted; from the small lamps ..attached, to the miners, and which only makes the darkness aud gloom more palpable, it is. not easy or pleasant to walk along

the little streets straightas they are.

One may step into a pool of water or

scumble, against a-fragment of rock, besides having to endure the constant drippiug irom the roof. Although the sensation of a 'perse 11 going down 'such dismal subterranean caverns fox tbe
