The House then took up the bill which
was under consideration yesterday in refer
ence to the railroad bridge matter at
Omaha. Mr.. Houghton who has charge OF
the bill, said that since the matter was up
yesterday, kilograms had been received
which went to show that proceedings now
before the United States Court involved
the same question as was presented IN the
bill. If the court decided the bridge was
continuous part of the Union Pacific hall
road there would be no necessity for the
proposed legislation, but if the decision
were otherwise then there would be. de
therefore moved postponement Of the bill
until the second Tuesday in February.

EVILS OF THE BOOK TRADE.

was continued yesterday at the rooms Of the Leavit

whose goods were sold yesterday Henry L. Hinton
q Co.. Roberts Bros, 8. w. Barrows, William j. Widdle-
ton G. C. Merriam. Ice Shepard, d. c. Colesworthy,
j. NJ. stoddart & Co. and r W. Carroll & Co. just
before Lee Shepard's publications offered, Mr.
Lee the senior partner of the firm came forward and
made short speech. Among his remarks were the fol
lowing:
The retail booksellers Of this country form an impor
tant element OF civilization. The late controversies and
distractions existing In the book trade aud the custom
which has grown rapidly with publishers and the larger
nearly rate ut which the local bookseller can
purchase them. have rendered IL impossible for the
small dealer TO invest his capital III stock OF
books to meet and develop the wants OF his
section. If this evil is not checked the day fs
not far distant when the whole business Of
selling books fall into the hands OF large city deal
ers or pedders greatly to the detrmen OF local COM
munities. To meet this danger wish to propose that
the discounts which have heretofore been allowed to
cergymen students, and libraries, the ground that
they common workers with ms In the distribution OF
knowledge, be made uniform and not TO- ex-
ceed 40 per cent on any variety on ntera-
tire In view OF the insuffclency Of these
trade sales, and the influence tho trade,
the last Convention OF Publishers at PutnBay decided
TO appoint a committee 10 establish aud conduct semi
annual Book Trade Sale Fair at which all publishers
may their books during the period OF the sale or
fair at special terms 70 the trade. ....
This speech received with long and boisterous ap
plsuse. The sale OF books was then resumed.

STocKs took another little chute up

a resurrection as need to cause the laeh-
rymose tribute of joy to dim the optic Of

Deserted too Early.

The announcement that the Amerique has been taken into an English port quite safely, with probability that all her cargo will be found in good order, is about the most startling piece of news we have published for some time past, New York paper says. She was found drifting in the trough of the sea- about the most dangerous position vessel could occupy-and even then she had not sunk What conclusion can be arrived at except that she was abandon ed in a''wild and reckless fit of fright, and that there never was the slightest reason for despairing of her safety. What are we to think of French seamanship of the present day? At the first symptom of danger "scare" seems to set in, and the very first thought, instead of the last one, is to "give up the ship" This affair will only confirm the general opinion that the Europe might very easily have been saved, if anything like coolness and good seamanship had been exhibited. Had MT. Buck got on board the ship the day she was abandoned, before all her fires had gone out, he would unquestionably have taken her into port. He found that the best pump had not been usedat all, but it was then too late to relight the fires. ,-.
