In the report Of the Committee appointed by
the Chicago Law Institute to prepare memorial
of the donations to it's library, the gratifying
established, and that it's library contains fully
one-thrd Of the material which it held before the
fire. This restoration of two thousand volumes
Of the legal authorities, works Of reference, and
dgests Of the laws Of other States is thrice prec-
lous to the bar Of Chicago, which in the flames
OF last year lost not only the magnificent collec-
uon the Institute then possessed, but also nearly
every private legal library in the city. With
CHARACTERISTIC selfreliance, these gentlemen first
helped themselves, and then others helped
them- Within six weeks after the fire the
members OF the Institute, most OF whom had
lost homes, Offices, papers, everything but
clients, who in their turn had lost almost e7ery-
thing that could support litigation, had
levied upon themselves contribution of
$4,000 to re-establiah the Institute. The
first donation from abroad came from
the Governor Of New York, who anticipated the
action Of the Legislature, and sent 500 volumes
Of the Session Laws, Revised Statutes, and Re-
ports of the State. Connecticut, Ohio, Arkan-
sas, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Virginia followed
with similar gifts. Full sets of the Reports and
statutes, and all the historical documents, of
the State Of Virginia, have been promised to the
Institute. The birth Of Illinois, her early in
stitutions and laws, make all the archives
of Virginia necessary part Of her history;
and, on that account, Chicago lawyers are under
especial obligations to Governor Walker, who,
mindful Of the ties created by his former reai-
dence in Chicago, has exerted himself to procure
for them these valuable volumes. Minister
Washburne, who began his practice Of the law in
this State, has rendered the Institute his OWN
library, and has obtained, by his own efforts, md
those Of n. Henry Harisse, formerly q resident
OF Chicago gift Of the rarest kind
Of biographical, geological, historical, and
scientific works, from the French Government
Nearly all the law publishers have sent copies
Of their publications. in part; many individual
donations hayo been made, noteworthy among
which is that Of the Hon VIM. D. Kelley, Of Phil
ade}phia, who sends nearly one hundred and
fifty volumes. Chicago, thanks to the generos-
ity Of the outside world, and the energy Of the
Law Institute, has now the nucleus OF one OF
the best Law Libraries in the United States.

MUD PIES.

Under the apple tree, spreading aud thick,
Happy with only pan and stick
On the soft grass in the shadow that lies,
Our little Fannie is making mud pies.
On her brown apron and bright, dropping head,
Showers Of pink aud white blossoms are shed;
Tied TO branch that made just for tha
Dances and hutters her little straw hat.
Dash, full of JOY, in the bright summer day,
Zealously ehases the robins away,
Barks at the squirrels, snaps at the flies,
All the while Fannie is making mud pies
Sunshine and soft summer breezes astir,
While she is busy, are busy with her;
Cheeks rosy glowing, and bright sparkling eyes
Bring they to Fanny, while making mud pies.
Dollies and playthings all laid away,
Not TO come out till the next rainy day.
Under this blue OF these soft Summer skiss--
Grayeiy She stirs, with a serious look,
Making believe" she's true pastry-cook;
Sundry brown splashes forehead and eyes,
Show that Fanny is making mud pies.
But all the soil OF her innocent play,
Clean soap and water will soon wash away;
Many n pleasure in daintier guise,
Leaves darker traces than Fanny's mud pies.

loved, and he is a stately and dignified
old gentleman withal. All these excel
lent qualities added quaint effect of
contrast to the suddenness of the fol-

dent once received, and which illus
trates the principle that "ridicule is the
test of truth" In the railroad cars one
day the President deserted one of his
students, a youth of regretable habits
in point of dissipation, and wearing at
that moment the haggard and dishevel-
