SCANDINAVIAN LITERATuRE-THE As

SCANDINAvIAN LITERATURE-THE AS
TOR LrBRARY-The noble bequest Of John Jacob Aston
to City will be opened to the public in the of
few months, in the fine Library building in Lafayette
place Under the indefatigable labors of Joseph G.
Cogswell, LID, the Librarian, whose extraordinary
industry has been aided by excellent Judgment there Is
now ready for the shelves the valuable collection
of books in America embracing not only the great but
all the minute features of popular and critical selec
ton. As specimen of the Library upon one branch
in which all other Libraries in America perfectly
barren-wc give a small portion of the catalogue of
Scandinavian works, remarking that there Is much
hand that will prove equally acceptable to the
readers Of the sages and Histories of part Of the
world which has-literary 'peaking-just come to be
appreciated 1t is probably safe to say that there are
not as many Scandinavian books of value anywhere
else in America.

SIGNoR GALLEGos' CoNcERT.--A large
audience assembled in Metropolitan Hall last evening
to hear the instrument the Plus Harp Guitar in
vented by sgnor Galegos. The delay in commencing
was inexcusable When SO late an hour as g Is sp-
pointed the audience should not be kept waiting for
half hour without apology. The new instrumeDt
fan
harp-strings with those of the guitar, but without
the force of the harp, that 1t is practically
only guitar with strings. The tone Is
like that Of the Mandoline than of any
other instrument, and the "Bewitcher" would be
very agreeable accompaniment to a Serenade, bat
nothing Little Adelsa Patti younger sister Of
Amelia sang Jenny Linds Echo Song to the enthusas-
tic satisfaction of the audience OF the perform
ance Of prodigy is not subject to criticism. The
ehildke ton of her voice very winning and the
cultivation is truly remarkable She filed the hall so az
10 be distinctly heard in part and could her voice
and cultivation equally improve, she would be remark
able singer The rest Of the Concert fairly done
RoBBING THE TREAsURY-Carriag

lance from the City Hall is 70 cents for proof of which
Rates Of Fare for Hackney Coaches and Cabs as es
bhshed by ordinance yet Peck sends bill of g. 50
for this IS cents worth of work and the people paw IL
Thus what plain stealing the part OF private c
zen is all gospel If done by Alderman For the
senef of the owner of the carriage in which Alderman
Peck rides home quote the following section of the
law in relation 10 coach .s:
SEC rIoS 6.-No owner driver Ct any Hackney Coach
