he came to passage which neither he nor
his assistant could IHterptet A stranger,
who stood by, in his humble garb, very
modestly suggested that, as he had some
little knowledge ofGreek, perhaps he could
assist them.
"Try it, try it p said Pope, with .he air
of boy who is encouraging monkey to
eat red pepper.
There is an error in the print" said
the stranger looking o, the text "Raad
as If there vas no interrogation point at
the end OF the line, aud you have the
meaning at once"
Pope's assistant at once improved upon
this lint, 'nj rcodered the passage with.
out difficulty. Pope was ohagrincd-he
could never endure 10 be surpas ed in

yesterday morning the wOrkmen employed on the
Capitol extension were thrown into a state OF
great excitement by the report that one Of the
workmen had fallen through the roo Of the library
instantly causing death. 1t appears that Mr..
Barney Brown, a carpenter employed by the COM
missioners, had occasion to get upon the roof OF
the library. large quantity of lumber and rub,
bihh had been piled upon the roof and on stepping
from one panel to another, one panel gave way,
thus precipitating Mr. Brown q distance Of twenty.
five feet, with the rubbish and lumber falling upon
him, inJuring him so severely that ho lived only
few minutes. Mr.. Brown was an old citizen Of
this city He was among the first who shouldered
their muskets, under the call for three months
men, TO defend their countTy's cause.
