THERE - A PROPOSITION before the Mercan-
tile Library Association, of Philadelphia, to
open the library on SUNDAYS. The Telegraph
hopes the measure will be favored by large
majority of the stockholders, as 1t honestly
believes that IL Is a ASSURE in the interests Of
morality and religion. The same paper adds:
"There are crowds of young men in this as in
every other large city, who do not know what to
do with themselves on Sunday. Even il disposed
TO go to church. but portion of their time Is
filled in that manner, and a great portion of
Sunday is almost of necessity passed i'm that
listless idleness that Is one of the strongest
temptations to vice"
FIRE AND SAD Loss or LIFE.-Five small
business houses in st. Joseph, Missouri, were
burned Sunday morning. VIM. Fowler, broth
er-in-law Of eN-Congressman Loan, who slept In
one OF the buildings was burned to death. and
number of fremen mortally and otherwise in
jured by the falling of a wall.

SINGULAR FREAK OF A FEMALE.-Atthe
Eastern Station House, last night, the faith
full guardians who keep swatch and ward"
over that institution, were somewhat surprised
at the entrance of female who asked for LODI
gings. Although under the influence Of wine,
or something stronger, she was neither turbu-
lent nor refractory, and her voluntary appear
ance at such place was we'll calculated to ex-
cite the curiosity Of the police. Her request
was granted, but before starting to the cell to
be locked up for the night, she suddenly
threw off the dilapidated calico gown which
enveloped her form, and displayed costume
of silk, satin and tinscl. rivalling in splendor
the woman one reads about in. oriental coun-
tries Beneath skirt of white satin delicate.
y trimmed with fouces and orange blossoms,
there was presented pair of tiny feet ana
ankles, encased in blue CATERS, and laced up
with yellow cord aud tasscls; q pink silk tur-
ban, surmounted by silver star, was drawn
from her pocket, which she placed launtily
over her faxen curls, (thoso appendages
hanging in great profession down her backl
and commenced p waltz around thereon. In
this she was irserrupted BY the officer, who
marched he. into the cell. She gave her
name as Emily Crothers, was quite progressing
in for. and features, and stated that she had
beer. to the ball, but imbibing too freely, found
bor way to the Station, instead Of her own
domieil. Her request for nights lodging
was complied with, and she was turned into the
place for common Migrants, her fine dress
strongly contrasting with the dingy walls and
the ragged clothing worn by the other occu-.
penis Of the ccll-Bdh. Gazette.

Sally-"I should be supernatural glad to

Obadiah sits while, and at length starts
up as though a new idea had come upon
him.
Obadiah-"Well, now, I know what I'll
do. I'lhgo home and thrash out those beans

Exit Obadiah.

TRUE GREATNEss.-One element of hu-
man greatness consists in the conquest of self.
Solomon says that he who achieves this con-
quest is greater than he who takes city. To
conquer the disposition which leads man to
live only for lis own qualification; to be cna-
bled, against the habits Of years of selfish
ness, to flow out to all within his reach in
efforts of well doing; successfully to resolve
to make common cause with the great wants
