you know we hav Mt any well the Fire Engine
and Hose were promptly on the way, efficiently
manned by colored men and eight little boys
equally divided as to color. This state of things
grows out of the misunderstanding which has
arisen between the City Council and the mem
bers of the Fire Company, which we hope will
soon be settled, to the mutual satisfaction of all
parties 1t is of the most vital Importance that
we should be provided with an efficient and re-
liable Fire Company, and the efforts of all good
citizens should be directed to that end. Private
feelings should have no weight when public
safety and welfare are at stake.

Costly and Valuable Gift TO the State
Library.


On recent visit to the State Library we
were much interested in examining School
crafts great work on the origin, condition
and probable future of the Indian race.
This copy, executed in the most costly style
of the bookbinder's and engraver's art, was
presented by DR.. Vim. K. Bowling. We
really feel grateful to DIR. Bowling for Civ
ing US the opportunity of consulting at our
leisure such a fund Of knowledge in so
magnificent binding, and adorned with
such rare and elaborate engraviDgs. One
cannot look at this pile of six royal quarto
volumes, with their scarlet morocco covers
embossed and gilded after the most elabo-
rate design, without approaching the great
beauty and value of the gift.
A strong vein OF biblomania running
through ones composition would have
made him look long and usefuny at this
pile while contemplating parting with it.
But it is better that such q work should be
a safe place when it can easily be consulted
and the greatest good accrue TO the great
est number. So thought the liberal-minded
donor, no doubt. We remember that pre-
vious TO DR.. Bowling's settlement in Nash
vile and embarking IN the great work OF
his long and successful life, medical jour
nalism and medical education, he took
great interest in exploring Indian tumuli in
Kentucky and collecting their long-buried
antiquities. HIS valuable cabinet contained
many specimens Of the same kind Of instru-
ments, utensils and ornaments which are
so beautifully illustrated in Schoolcraft's
work, and we only regret his valuable col.
lection could not accompany this gift to the
State Library.
