The Washington Library Company of Phil
adelphia gains credit and support every day.
The sales OF stock surpass all expectation, and
the prospect is, that the funds for the noble OBJ
Ject will be secured even in advance of the
time anticipated. The reason is obvious. The
design is worthy, and creditable to the patriot
ic hearts who are laboring to reward a too
much neglected class. The funds go intore-
sponsble hands, and the public have no fears
that they will be mis-directed. The plan
adopted satisfies the scruples of the most con-
scientous, and has the endorsement of emil
nent legal authority, 1t is by its distinctive
features entirely removed from the faint of
catch-penny schemes which have so often been
the means of imposing on the public 1t gives
to purchasers of its stock full equivalent for
the consideration paid. All its transactions
are open and above board. 1t has no conceal
ments, and the reputation Of the managers is
such that they cannot afford to be dishonest in
this transaction. Read Advertisement
MASON & HAAILIN CABINET ORGANs-It is
very seldom that any business furnishes so
good an example of true enterprise as the
manufacture of the above celebrated instru-
ment, conducted by Messrs. Mason & Hamlin,
of Boston, Mass. 1t seems but as yesterday
that the mention Of a reed instrument sug-
gested nothing but snarling, fine tooth-comb
music, and yet such vast improvement has
been made that the quality of tone is hardly
recognizable as coming from reed If our

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF
THE CzAR OF RUSSIA. Tho HeratPS
Paris special says. at was the Car
Of Russia, not the Emperor Napoleon,
whose assassination was attempted
yesterday In the imperial carriage
was the Gar, his two sons, and Ma
poleon III. When the royal party
was being driven through Bots de
Bologne, a young man, apparently
about twenty years Of age, fired a
pistol at the Car, or in the direction
in which he sat in the carriage 1t
appears that the pistol had been
ovealoaded, for it exploded, wound
ing the hand Of the assassin. 1t is
alleged that person standing in the
crowd threw up the hand of the
cowardly wretch by promptly
dealt stroke just as he discharged the
pistol. The assassin was instantly
dut down, severely wounded and
made prioner by the escort. The
Imperial carriage passed on without
hating. The would be murderer is
a Pole"

JEFF. DAVIS AND THE AssAssINA-
TIoN.-A Washington dispatch says
HThe Judiciary Committee took con-
siderable evidence bearing ontheques-
ton of Jeff. Davis completely in the
assassination Of Mr.. lincoln. They
have the originals or certified copies
of a number of letters that reached
him in 1861, wherein the writer's pro.
posed assassination, and there is moth.
ing to show that he ever rebuked the
authors or discountenanced the
scheme. The testimony as to his
completely in BOOTHS plot il not en-
tirely conclusive, but is so strong that
at least three Of the members of the
committee believe his guilt to be
shown. That he had dealing with
Booth and his agents is certainly be-

At first it was thought to provide
dinner but, considering the vast
numbers to be present, no such prep
arations could be made as would
prove satisfactory. Nor could the
hotels provide for one tenth OF the
multitude. 1t is therefore in con-
temptation to request families to
bring along their dinners in baskets.
Indeed, late years such practice has
proven much more satisfactory in all
respects than any other ever tried,
not excepting the barbecue OF those
days when old style Eourths were
celebrated.
Such public arrangements are to
be provided as will insure good or

A LATE SLAVE PROVIDES HER
FORMER OWNER A HoME.-Within a
few days past a case of somewhat
novel character has been developed
by some philanthropic ladies in Old
Gown, Baltimore. Itseems that pre-
vious to the war highly educated
lady was residing in North Carolina.
upon a very large plantation, sur
rounded by luxury, and living in the
2oQthern style. The results Of the
war reduced her to want, Her MANY
slaves were emancipated blythe proc

and alone. She finally reached Ball
timore several days since, in search
OF some old friends, in great destitu-
tlon, and was about TO apply to the
authorities for relief in her utter de-
SPAR, when she encountered 6ne OF
her old servents, now resident in
that city who insisted upon return
ing the many acts Of kindness dis
played in the past, and actually pro-
vided her former mistress with q
homo. III i
1t is stated by Talcott in his his,
tory Of the Roman Empire that, upon
The abolition of slavery in Rome
near 1000 years ago, it soon became
notorious that great numbers of the
old masters and their families were
supported by their former slaves,
now froemen but highly prosperous.
And still thu fall rights of citizen
snip were strongly resisted by those

dependents. But, in less than 100
years SO completely were the tables
