Our readers know that we have most
energetioally resisted the increase of
expenses in the management of the Lii
brary, as was lately passed by the. Board
of Education, and have done so espe-
eialiy as retrenehment Is at present the
order Of the day in every branch OF the
city government, ,,andas we cannot see
why an increase shall be made in this
institution, whose prime object it is TO
furnish young girls wltn romances. Ac-
cording to the Gazette" the manage
ment of the Library is moreover an ex
travagant one, so that we had atwo-
fold cause TO refuse the desired
increase of salaries. The young
Mems Mercantile Library Association,
which contains $1,000 vorumes, pays for
two assistants and a janitor $4,000 per
annum. The salaries Tor the officials oil
the Public Library. which contains
II, 900 volumes, amount to sci, 900, that is
six times as much as those OF the Mer-
camille Association. Surely, it is time,
to look after the "managers" of the Pub
lie Library, and ask them the serious
question, how 1t comes they can not
manage with less? The firemeh and po-
licemen must have their salaries cut
down, the poor ana sick are TO be sent
on the streets, and for the distribution OF
romances $4,000 are expended every
year. How long viii the citizens allow
such excessive expenditures?

WHO IS NOW VICE PRESIDENT


The death of Vice President Wilson
opens one of those questions for which
our comparatively brief parliamentary
history furnishes no precedent. That
question is,--Upon what officer does the
succession to the Vice Presidency fall
by reason OF the decease of the regularly
elected incumbent?
The Constitution does not directly de-
termine this matter, nor has it been fixed
by any precise legislation. The Consti-
tuition makes provision for the election
Of a President pro tempore Of the Senate,
to preside sin the absence of the Vice
President, Or when he shall exercise the
office of the President of the
United States." Under this
constitutional provision it has been
the custom of the Senate
to elect. from the Senators, presiding
officer pro tem., at the beginning OF each
session, and again at the close of the
session; in order that, in case of death
or disability of the Vice President, DIR.
ing recess Of Congress, the Senate may
not be withouta a presiding officer. But
whether such an election OF a presiding
officer pro tem., made in the lifetime Of
the Vice President, would confer upon
the member so selected the full consti.
tutional prerogatiyes of the Vice Presi-
dency, in case of the incumbent's death,
in any other matter than as to presid.
ing in the Senate, is the point in ques.
ton.
The Act Of Congress bearing upon this
subject is the Act of March /, ,.1792, which
provides ehat, "In case of removal,
death, resignation, or inability of both
the President and the Vice President OF
the United States, the President of the
Senate, or if there be none, then the
Speaker Of the House of Representatives
for the time being, shall act as Presiden,
until the disability is removed or Pres
dent elected"
On the meeting Of the Senate, a few
days hence, there will be no Vice Presi
/ NNADtoA WIG ChAtVu 'ObdbCbs -1u6 L resi-
dent pro tenn. OF the Senate will preside
over the organization OF the Senate. His
term having expired, a new presiding
officer will be elected by the Senate
But, can the Senate elect Vice Presi
dent of the United States? And, is the
presiding officer so by the Senate elected
while the Vice Presidency is vacant by
the death OF the elected incumbent, ,bt
subregated to all the powers and privi
leges of the elected Vice President
If SO, then the Senate alone ma,
hx the succession to the Presidency i,
case OF the Presidents death; whicl
power in the Senate will of course rem
der it impossible for the Speaker of tn
House ever to become the acting PresI
dent; because the Senate will certainl,
see to it that their own body shall neve
be without a presiding officer.

Orchard and Nursery.

Care and attention are constantly re-
quired. The careless leaving of gate
open or fence down may result III
great damage to the young trees from
the depredations of cattle. While shut
ting out the stock of others, properly
shut in your own.
Mice and rabbits need to be looked to
after light SHOWS. Tramp down the
snow around the trees, to head off the
mice, and sprinkle blood upon the
trunks to keep rabbits away.
If pruning is to be done, attend to 1t
before the buds swell in the least. Never
cut out branch without having rea-
son for doing it, and also strive to give
the trees low, open head to enable
them better to Withstand the strong
winds, to shade the trunks, and to allow
the sun and air to reach all parts OF the
tree. When the orchard is cultivated,
the heads will have to be kept higher to
allow the teams to pass under them.
Suckers should be cut off, and as soon
as the weather will allow, the ground d1-
rectly around the trees should be broken
I'D, and the moss and dead bark removed
by soft-soap wash.
Manure may be carted to the orchard
at this season and spread or placed IN
heaps. 1t can be hauled at this season
of the year on sleds.
Labels will be needed for newly set
trees, and should be prepared before
hand. Large nursery labels are best
made out of red cedar; if this wood IS
not convenient, pine or chestnut Will
last few years, but cedar is the cheap
est in the end.
Show the boys how to make correct
plan of the orchards and nursery; on
this should be indicated the correct posi-
ton and name of every tree; this will be
found the only way to preserve the
names where an orchard is planted with
several varieties. .-AgricutaTiSt

The sad and fatal accident to Mr.. s.
S. Keene, well-known citizen of Mont
rose, N. j., and prominent Wall street
broker, says New York paper, is an
other warning against the dangerous
practice of "coasting." 1t appears that
the "coasting" in Montrose was very
fine, and that young and old enjoyed it.
Mr.. Keene fitted up large sled, and he,
with a party of dozen or fourteen ladies
and gentlemen, were coasting" " one
evening lately. They had passed down
Montrose avenue at lightning speed a
number of times, Mr.. Keene guiding the
sled with skill and ordinarily with safety.
But on the fatal trip, having to turn out
for horse and sleigh coming up the
hill, the sled struck gutter bridge, and
the sudden shock threw it's occupants in
every direction. Mr.. Keene struck
against a tree with terrible force. His
collar bone and ten ribs were broken,
seven behind and three in front. The
fragments of the broken ribs penetrated
the right lobe of the lung, and death re-
suited from compression of the lungs
Scarcely one of those who were on the
sled at the time of the accident escaped
unframed. In Boston, where "coast
ing" is indulged in to an almost rn
| limited extent, serious casualties are OI
daily occurrence, and public attention is
being directed to the great peril of the
sport. In New York it is OH unknown
amusement, and, happily, there are nc
natural means at hand for its introduc
ton. Mr.. Keene, whose death is widely
deplored, has been cut off in the mids
of bright career, but let us hope tina
the sad fate that has befallen him will bt
the means of discontinuing a sport a!
perilous as it is exciting.

About Sewing Machines.

The United States Senate Committee
on Patents, before whom the application
has been for a couple of years, says
Washington correspondent, have at last
agreed to report adversely on the appli-
cation of A. B. Wilson for an extension
of the patent of the four-motion feed for
sewing machines. This patent was
issued June Is, 1852, and is the most
valuable in existence. In this the feed
bar or pad is given a forward motion to
carry the cloth to the needle; motion
downward to release the cloth from its
grip; backward motion to the extent of
the length of the stitch, and finally an
upward motion to take a fresh hold ON
the cloth. So valuable has been this
four-motion feed that few or no cloth
sewing machines are now made without
it. 1t is owned by the sewing machine
combination, which is composed of the
owners of the four leading machines
the Wheeler & Wilson, Wilcox e. Gibbs,
Singer, and Howe-and has served to
bind the sewing machine manufacturers
together and enabled them to defy COM
petition by force of the monopoly. 1t
was this feature that the combination
wished to further monopolize for seven
years by an act of Congress. The in
ventor has realized several millions for
his invention. Singer admits that his
patents, which are much less important,
paid him 81, ZOO, 900 prior to 1870, since
which time he has not been compelled to
render an account. A monopoly of this
feed motion for seven years more would
be worth from $40, ,000,0 900 to $50, 100000
to the owner, and would cost the people
four times as much. Nearly ton of
petitions have been filed, asking that the
extension be refused. A former COM
missioner Of patents, General Leggett,
once said that it would take one man,
reading ten hours per day, sixty-fve
years to read all of the evidence that has
been taken in regard to this application
for an extension. Oneexhibit only makes
bW61f6 bUluulSSJ tdCu do uIS0 uo W.
ster's Unabridged Dictionary, all of which
the commissioner was once asked to
read before he refused the extension.
The ultimate effect of this refusal to
grant an extension will be to reduce the
price of sewing machines as low as $40,
though this will not come about for
couple of years, when other patents ex-
pire. 1t is in evidence that the cost of
the average sewing machine is but $12,
and that small manufacturers are re-
quired to pay to the sewing machine
combination as much as $40 profit on each
machine manufactured. 1t is also a
curious fact that Wheeler & Wilson sew
ing machines can be purchased in Eu-
rope and brought to this country for
Just one-half of the price they cost here,
including all costs of freight, duty, etc,
the reason being that they have no pro-
lection there, any one being allowed to
make them.

A SWindling Child.

There is an artful dodger in Paris
whose operations have been so clever as
to deserve respectful notice. He is a
middle-aged person of an innocent as
pect, and his pretty plan was to meander
slowly along, and seizing the first mild
eyed old gentleman he met, to lisp in q
child-like manner: "Totty has lost his
mammy; take Totty back to nanny" 4"
The mild-eyed would naturally feel
somewhat confused and alarmed, when
to him would further appear confeder
ate of Totty's who wouldremark inaccents
bland that Totty was a harmless idiot,
and if the stranger would see Totty
home it would be real charity. Fired
by benevolence the old gentleman would
undertake to bear the soft, sweet Totty
to his abode, and would trot along the
boulevards among the toy shops, which
appeared to enchant Totty. That gentle
being would observe, "Totty wants a
harlequin; buy Totty harlequin, " and
his antique warder would hasten to
crafty that mild longing. Before the
ingenious lofty reached his home he was
usually laden with the marketable re-
suits of the kind-hearted old creature s
benevolence, and did thriving business
until several benefactors happened to
compare notes, and Totty's innocent in
dushy was quenched.

Their Latin.

A good story is told of an old farmer,
whose son had for long time been
ostensibly studying Latin in a popular
academy. The farmer not being per
fectly satisfied with the course and con-
duct of the young hopeful, recalled him
from school, and placing him by the side
of cart one day, thus addressed him
"Now, Joseph, here is a fork, and there
is heap of manure and cart; what do
you call them in Latin 2" Forkibus,
cartibus, ct manuribus," said Joseph.
"Well, now" said the old man, 8" if you
don't take that forkibus pretty quiclIibus,
and pitch that manuribus into that cart.
ibus, I'll break your lazy backibus. .
Joseph went to workibus forthewithibus,
