The largest library in the world is that o
the British Museum, and contains forty
miles of shelves. The Imperial Library q
st. Pstersburg stands next in siza ana con-
tains about $50, 900 volumes. The Imperial
Library of Vienna probably contains some
what under 400, 900 volumes, including MSS.
The Royal Library Of Berlin about 500, 600 /;
Munich somewhat fewer; Copenhagen about
100000; Breslau $4,000; Dresden 100000;
the University Library at Cottingen, 800 ,000.
The famous Library Of the Vatican is less
remarkable for the number CT 1t volumes,
than for the value of its MSS, and the mac
feasibility of its treasures. The number OF
printed books is variously estimated at be-
tween 100000 and 100000. The former,
however, Is considered nearer the truth
The value of the manuscript collection, be-
lieved to number about $4,000, cannot be
over estimated. Tue books are kept in CLOS
ed eases, and there is no catalogue-t"o
great causes OF the mystery which sur.
round the collection. The principal gal
lery ofthe Library is about tnousand feet

TROUBLE AMONG THE JEws.-Our fellow citi-
zens of the 1sraelite persuasion seem to be at
loggerheads about a proposed Board Of Dele
gates of American Israelites for the govern
ment Of Jews in this country, who num-
bered at the last census nearly seventeen thou
sand, and who now amount probably to over
twenty or twenty-five thousand. We publish
in another column protest from the Har-Sinai
congregation against the attempt to establish
what the Protestants denominate Jewish
hierarchy, and scheme more worthy of the
sons of Loyola than the sons of Abraham; and
We are requested by the president of the con-
gregation to give it publicity, because at was
chiefly due to the irresistible influence of the
HERALD that similar project was frustrated
four years ago in Cleveland"
1t would appear that many Israelites fear
that this scheme bears political complexion,
and they object to union of Church and State
in the kingdom of Israel. One of the pro.
visions Of this project is the establishment Of
court of arbitration exclusively for Jews to
settle disagreements between individuals or
corporations, without having recourse to the
ordinary law courts of the country. The eccle-
siastical rule proposed to be established, it is
commended, revolts against the spirit and Is.
sence Of Judaism, and it is therefore opposed
by large number of the Jewish congregations.
We commend the documentto which we refer
to those who are interested in the controversy,
and, without offering any opinion upon the
subject, we would merely remark that at time
when we are endeavoring to abolish the union
of Church and State in the Papal territories,
and diminish the temporal power of the Pope,
ii is somewhat incongruous to seek to establish
a Jewish Papacy, with temporal power vested
in exclusive Jewish courts of law, in the United
States.

The TENEMENT House BILL AT ALBANY.-We
are in receipt, almost every day. of commu-
nications suggesting reforms in the manner Of
erecting tenement houses, and demanding that
they shall be provided with adequate fire es-
capes Suggestions as to the precise manner
in which the houses should be erected, and ex-
actly what sort Of fire escape should be used,
are also numerous. We do not print any of
these letters, for obvious reasons. In the first
place, every one sees the necessity of reform in
the tenement house system. The owners of
the houses themselves are by no means blind
to this necessity, but they will put off the
work as long as possible, in the hope that the
present feeling on the subject will subside and
their money be saved. 1t will be easy enough
when the Common Council has the power to
do it, to define in what way the safety OF
dodgers in tenement houses shall be secured.
What is wanted now is the power to compel
the builders and owners Of the houses to make
them secure. The Counsel to the CORPORATION
has sent up q bill to Albany which provides
that the Common Council shall have
authority to make due and needful
regulations as to the building of houses
designed for the occupancy of more than one
family, and to prescribe by ordinance the de-
tails for the erection Of such buildings and the
fire escapes. In case the act is infringed
penalty of five hundred dollars accrues to the
Fire Department fund. The bill presented by
Mr.. Bronson is SO clearly and simply drawn
that even member of the Legislature can uu-
derstand it. When the assembled wisdom
comes together on to morrow, after having been
refreshed by short vacation, we hope that
some member will move forward the New York
Tenement House bill. To thousands of people
in this city it is of much more consequence
Than Pro Rata, Wien question Of railway

The AWFUL CONDITION OF THE STREETS.-Oa
all sides, and in every public or private resort,
there is one universal groan about the filthy
condition of the streets and avenues in this
city. The metropolis is covered with an indie
scribably nasty mixture Of snow, salt, slush,
and all manner of filth, the deposit varying
from three inches to a foot in thickness. The
greatest nuisance of all is the salt. The Com
mon Council endeavored to restrain the omni-
bus proprietors and city railroad companies
from sailing the streets; but the ordinance
hung fire. On Monday it passed both Boards,
with an amendment the effect Of which is to
permit the use Of salt upon the city railroad
tracks. AS matter of course the omnibus pro-
prietors will take the same privilege, and the
Corporation will wink at it. The evil effects of
the salt are manifold. 1t generates foul at
mosphere, which causes colds, sore throats, dip
iberia, scarlet fever measles, and other kin
dred diseases Reports from the ward schools
state that extra fires have to be maintained to
dry the feet of the children that have been struck
with the salted snow. Already the mortality
among children has alarmingly increased and
unless some reform in street cleaning is speedi-
ly commenced, they will die as rapidly in the
winter of throat and lung as in the summer of
bowel diseases. What is wanted is entire pro-
hibition of the use Of salt on the avenues, as
well as everywhere else. The railway compa-
MES holding valuable city franchises should be
compelled to remove the snow altogether from
their tracks and "dump" it into the river.
There is no reason why they should not clear
the snow from their tracks as well as private
individuals from the sidewalks in front of
their houses.
We have not much hope, however, that
this abominable nuisance of street sailing will
be abated until, as in London, it has caused the
death Of so many persons that an indignant
people will demand its suppression. In the
British metropolis it is estimated that ten
thousand persons met their deaths from dis
eases propagated by street sailing Is New
York to suffer in the same way to swell the
dividends oftw or three overbearing and in
solent corporations and omnibus proprietors?
We trust not.

A NATIONAL HOILDAY.-H is well that this
nation, so great and so prosperous, is yet in its
first bloom Of youth. There are men and
women who will unite to-day in celebrating
the anniversary of the birth of the Pater Patrie
who followed Washington to victory at Mon
mouth, and shared in the tolls, and trials, and
tribulations of Valley Forge. Less than GEN.
fury old, great and strong beyond all historical
parallel, the model republic is not without its
internal discussions. Bad feeling has sprung
up between the North and the South, Artful
and designing politicians in all sections of the
country have labored without ceasing to 70
ment discord and foster sectional animosities
That they have been successful to certain
extent is evident from the present hostile atti-
tude of the South, and the commotion going on
at the North. To the eyes of many persons it
appears as if we were really on the brink of
the irrepressible conflict which Mr.. Seward
predicts, when, slowly and by degrees, there
is gentle uprising of the conservative element
South and North-the element which forms the
safety valve Of the governmental engine. Qui-
city and unostentatiously the strong men of
the country will come forward to-day to
celebrate the anniversary of Washington's
birthday as a great national festival, as
it ought always to be observed. We view
the general observance of this day as po-
litical fact Of marked significance. When
ever the country seems in any danger its more
patriotic citizens appeal to the memory Of its
sainted founders, and the politicians are very
glad to help on the special demonstrations in
honor Of the fathers of the republic. This day
has not uniformly been generally observed,
but just now it seems eminently proper that the
American people should come together to give
thanks for leader who, if not Caesar, Fa-
bus or Napoleon, united in his own person
the best qualities of the great captains, and was
unsullied with their vices, unstained by their
crimes Let us all think what would be the
conduct of the Hero of Mount Vernon were he
alive to-day; and having SO thought, let us act
accordingly.
