The Libraries at Washington.

The first in Importance is the Library of
Congress, which was founded in 1900 -
Every department of literature is repre-
sented in its various apartments, and IFS
catal que makes an octave volume of near.
ly thousand pages. 1t is open to the
public every day during the session Of Con-
gress, and three days il the week when
Congress is not in session. The Librarian
is appointed by the President. The Lii
brary of the House of Representatives is
composed almost exclusively of public
documents, and is for the exclusive use of
Members of Congress of both Houses
The State Depa tment has we'll selec ed
library OF pc hap, ten thousand volumes,
and is particularly rich in files of Am rican
and foreign newspapers Many of its best
books were purchased under the auspices
of naniel Webster. The Library of the
War Department contains about twelve
thousand volumes. 1t was organized by
Lewis Cass, in 1882, and many of its
treasures we're collected by William L.
Marcy and George w Crawford, when
they were at the head of the office. The
Library of the Interior Department. inclu-
ding the copywright, is quite large and mis-
cellaueous in character, and was commenced
under the supervision of Secretary Stuart.
The Navy Department is in possession of a
goodly collection of books, but has never
been regularly organized; l understand,
however, that it is about to be put in or
der by Ben Perley Poore, who undertakes
the job only by way of amusement.
Under the auspices of Secretary Chase
handsome library is now being organized
in the Treasury Department. The Patent
Office has a collection of some eight thou
sand volumes, devoted exclusively to sci
entifc affairs. Next to the Library of
Congress, perhaps the most intere, ting Ii
brary IN Washington is that attached to
the Smithsonian Institute. There is Ii
brary of four thousand volumes in the Ex-
ecutive Mansion, which was elec ed by
your humble servant in 1850, under the
ausp ces of President Fillmore. The IL
braries in the District of Columbia, out
side those belonging to the Government,
are as follows: Georgetown College, 49,
900 volumes; National Institute, 1000
volumes Columbia College, say 1000
volumes: and the Force Library, number
of volumes unknoTn.-yOurnaI Of Com

A Word from Boise.
BANNoCK CITY, Boise County, !
1T. Aug.s25, 1868.

l. T., Aug..25, 1868.
EDS. WASHINGTON STATESMAN AS
time developes the plans and opinions, and
calls forth the actions of the Republican
regency, holding reins of executive author
ity in this territory, occasion is furnished
for reflection, fer comment, for criticism,
and alas :hat it should be so, only too
much occasion for censure. The last edict
issuing from the executive office-situated
in some obscure country village or ada
cent rural retirement in the vicinity of the
Lapwai Indian reservation, which con-
Germs more Immediately and particularly
the citizens of the Territory resident in
Boise county, is to the effect that out of
pure compassion upon the superlative igno-
rance, and in kind consideration of the
rights of the people of Boise county, His
Excellency has graciOusly removed all the
principal officers elected by the people,
and has appointed others in their stead.
The people here, upon the reception of
the intelligence with a singular want of
appreciation of the condescension, atten-
tive kindness, and especial regard for their
interests manifested by the Governor,
might every where upon the streets and in
the places of public resort, have been seen
and heard indulglng in some very impo-
lite expressions. AS the astonishment
gave way and the conviction of the truth
of the report become apparent, exaspera-
ton almost usurped the place of reason,
and more repressed indignation probably
existed in the city that night than ever
before. An expression of public sentiment
was finally talked of, in which the people
in the vicinity generally were to be invi-
ted to participate, and to announce in
terms emphatic, if not courteous, the feel
ing of residents here upon the subject.
The appointments are understood to
have been partly made upon the strength
eff Memorial, sent some time ago from
here, which was concocted by few disap-
pointed aspirants for office and signed by
an insignificant number Of names--of still
more Insignificant men; not one of whom
does not stand ten chances Of being struck
by lightning to one of ever being elected
by the people of Boise county to any Of
fee The memorial was chiefly memora-
BILE for the gross perversions and suppress
sions of truth, and splendid instances Of
solid lying. 1t was taken to Lewiston by
one, himself candidate for appointment
to responsible office, and who is reported
to have returned with his commission in
his pocket, chuckling over the idea Of how
finely he did Pink-em J
Aside from the local interests involved
in this action of the Governor, let us take
a common sense view of the case on gene
raj principles. The people of the United
States are, according to the theory of Gov
ernment upon which all our institutions are
based, the source of all law and Of all au-
thority. The fundamental right of the
sovereign people is, that they shall have a
voice in the selection of their own rulers,
and officers, and correlative right is to be
chosen among such rulers and officers when
J and if found capable and worthy. This

ToBAcco.-Tobacco has spoiled and ut
terly ruined thousands of boys, including a
dangerous precocity, developing the pas
sions, softening and weakening the bones,
and greatly injuring the sPinal marrow, the
brain, and the whole nervous fluid. A boy
who early and freely smokes, or otherwise
largely uses tobacco, never is known to
make man of much energy of character,
and generally lacks physical aud muscular
as we'll as mental energy. To people old
er, who are naturally nervous, and particu
lary to the phlegmatic, tobacco may be
com paratively harmless, but even to these
it is worse than useless, We would partic.
ulaily warn boys who want to be anything
in the world to shun tobacco as a deadly
poison.

Shelling Peas.

In quaint old kerchief and snow white cap.
Sits an aged dame with pan in her lap
Quietly setting there shelling peas,
With placid brow and heart at ease,
AS from her fingers the berries slip,
What faneies through her memory trip
Reveries rich with things of yore,
Argosies from distant shore
Reachings forward to things to be,
Counterpoises to memory
And, as she sitsand shells her peas,
More than with common eyes she sees,
human life with its joys and fears,
Successes and failures, smiles and tears,
Come to her view, and she recks the cost
OF the blessing gained and the blessings lost
Ofthe promise blasted, the hope destroyed,
The gold of life, with its dross alloyed;
OF the wine of plenty for others strained,
The crown of fortune by others gained;
But with it all comes no regret
The smile fades not, but her eye is wet
For mid the vision that by her flies
Are precious things to her mental eyes:
Loved faces greet her tehder gaze,
And the beaming glances of other days.
And loving voices once more are heard,
And children's tones her breast have stirred
Things long passed the immortal gates
While she in patience sits and waits,
Telling her peas there, one by one,
As her rosary tells the pious.hnn.

The LOST ONE FoUND.-An affecting
scene is described as having taken place at
a crossing in Chatham street N York, one
one day long since, where a couple of lit
tie girls we're sweeping a path through the
mud and holding out their dirty palms for
recompensation pence. AS a lady was
crossing the street, one of these ragged
creatures suddenly dropped her broom,
cried "mamma mamma p and rushing to
the lady seized her by the dress, and
sobbed out, "oh, take me home mamma
oh mamma, take me home - The lady
recognized the voice as that of her own
child. who was lost year or two before,
and whom she had given over for dead,
and hailing carriage she at once took the
little one home, where a process of bodily
publication aud change of garments soon
restored the poor child to a recognizable
condition. She had been stolen by one of
the wandering female vagabonds that in
fest that city, devoted to the wretched en-
ployment in which her mother found her,
in order to save few pence for the miser-
able creature who had eluded the officers
of Justice, although vigorous efforts were
made to trace her olt for the purpose of
punishment. ..- ..r..

The Great Lake Tunnel.

The Board of Public Works of the city
of Chicago have taken the first steps to-
ward the construction of tunnel two miles
out into Lake Michigan, to supply the city
with pure water. The proposed tunnel will
be five feet in diameter on the inside of the
wall, and will require two years in con-
struction. -Four hollow cylinders will be
sunk in the lake at a distance of half a
mile apart, the lower end penetrating the
bed of the lake to the level of the proposed
tunnel, and from these shafts the tunnel,
will be dug in two directions, and also
pushed as rapidly as possible from the shore
All these cylinders will be closed after the
completion of the tunnel, and will be re-
moved to such depth as not to interfere
with navigation, with the exception of the
outside one, which will be constructed with
reference to its becoming the inlet for the
water or gate chamber, and perhaps be sur
mounted with small lighthouse and so
arranged that the water can be shut off
from the tunnel. The cost of the tunnel
will only be 1907 ,592, and it is supposed
by the board, that if the tunnel is construc-
ted, there will be no necessity for building
new pumping works, as it will be cOnstuc-
ted opposite the old works.

AN ANCIENT DEED-A most venerable
interesting relic of the olden times is now
exhibited in Providence, Rhode Island
Il is the original deed for six hundred and
twenty-five acres of land on which now
stands the city of Philadelphia, executed
by William Penn, to Thomas Vernon,
Mar, h 3, 1851, Immediately upon the re-
ceipt of PENIS patent from King Charles
the Second The instrument is in re-
markably good state Of preservation, con-
sidering its age 1t is perfectly legible,
the ink having faded but from few words,
and in these the obiteration is slight. 1t
is written in the old English chirography
prevalent at that period, and to it is fixed
Penn's autograph. The consideration for
which this large amount of land (compri-
sing what is now West Philadplphia) was
conveyed was twelve pounds and ten shil-
lings.

WHAT IS CHEEK Pray pardon the
use of slang term Impudence will not
do. for it may exist without shrew wdness;
nor Self-possession, for that is a passive
rather than an active virtue nor Courage,
which is often allied with modesty; nor
Boldness, which man may have without
humOr True, you may say that man
has the face to say or do anything (; but
that is roundabout way of expressing
oneself, and you cannot speak of his face
in an allegorical sense, or call him ''fancy."
Grant me the term, then, and / will en-
deavor to explain it to my young brother
less lady readers. Cheek, then, is rare
union Of fun, impudence, readiness, perse-
yerence, and intelligence, endowing its
possessor with the power of walking quiz
etly over social obstacles; which form an
impossible barrier to the majority of man
kind. For example, it was "cheek" that
gave Diogones the advantages over Alex
ander; hat procured wives Gt is great at
that for the early Romans; that got dear
old Falstaff out of all his scrapes, enabling
him to make good end instead of a
parlous bad one; that procured James Bos
we'll admission to a club and niche in his
tory denied to many better man; that en-
abled he great Barnum to gull his fellow
creatures out of fortune, and when he
had spent that, to make a second by tell
ing his dupes face to face, how he had
done them Once Week.

Life's Intent.

Woe, woe to him, ON safety bent,
Who creeps to age from youth,
Failing to grasp his life's intent
Because he fears the truth.
Be true to every inmost thought.
And, as thy thought, thy speech;
What thou hast not by suffering bought,
Presume thou not to teach.
Hold on, hold on-thou hast the rock
The foes are on the sand!
The first wOrld-tempest's ruthless shock
Scatters their shifting strand.
While each wild gust the mist shall clear,
We now see darkly through;
And justified at last appear
The true, in Him that's true.

INFERENcEs.-A wise father once en-
deavored to teach his son the nature of an
inference. "Thus, for example" said be,
"when we read that the deluge covered the
whole earth, the inference is that the in
habitants thereof were all drow ned, Now,
Naarnan, the Syran, was commanded to
wash seven times in the Jordan-what in
ference would we draw from that - "Thal
he must have been very dirty y was the
precocious lads answer.

MoDEsTY AND omen
that are the least bashful, are not unfre-
quently tie most modest; and we are new
er more deceived than when we would in
fer any laxity of principle from thai free
dom of demeanor which often arises from
total ignorance of vice. Prudery, on
the contrary, is often assumed rather to
keep off the suspicion of criminality,' than
eriminality itself, and is resorted to to- de-
fend the fair wearer, not from the whispers
of our sex, but of her own; it is cum
bersome panoply, and, like heavy armor, is
seldom worn, except by those who attire

AUNT JENNA ON HEALTH.-Yes, man
is fearfully and dreadfully made, as the
scripters says, and women are good deal
like him. Now all diseases rises in the
stumach, and body must keep takin'
M dicine to keep um out, and if body
hadn't any stumach why there'd be no
danger of their being sick, and they
wouldn't have to take medicines. And
that is true sayin' that "An ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure" only
l think in order to make it all sure it's
best to take the ounce and pound afor-
hand, afore the evil day cometh, as the
scripter says, fur you can tell aforehand
what sickness or ailing a day may bring
forth, as the scripters says. Now Provi-
dence has provided an arb or root to cure
every disease flesh is heir to; though when
l told Zedekiah so, he said they must ben
created then after father dam got und-r
the wrong apple tree, and concluded to
move out of the garden, and quit the fruit
business and playin' gentleman, and go
to farmin,' cause they'd been no use for
them afore that, and nuthin's made in vain
as the scriper'S says, but he's always a
akin questions jest to make everybody
and everything look ridiculous, till don't
pay any attention to his nonsense any
more, but as | was sayin' there's medicine
to fit every disease, only we can't always
Jest tell what it is, cause it may be one
thing and it may be another, so l jest give
all of um l can think of, cause if one
don't hit why who knows but another will,
est as l thrash all the younguns when one
of um has been cuttin up, so as to be cer-
tain of getting the right one, and lhen two
to one they all deserve it for some mischief
or another, or leastways will deserve it
afore week over, for chi!dren's as prone
to do mischief as the sparks is to fly up the
chimney, as the scripteT's says.
