OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY.

-.NeSSrS. EditOrS As a new interest has
recently grown up about our library, it has
occurred to me that perhaps few leading
thoughts concerning it may not be amiss.
How many of our good citizens, think you.
really have a full appreciation of the charac-
ter and worth of our collection of books I
have been much interested in libraries, and
accustomed to making study of them as OPP
portunity presented; and do not think 1
know of one which, considering its numerical
extent, is SO comprehensive in scope, and SO
excellent in material. Indeed, there is
no department of human thought, nor any
epoch of human achievement, which is not
well represented. In poetry, there is no age
nor country, from Homer down to Tennyson,
which has not sung for us its songs, In the
department of fiction, there is hardly any
thing to be desired, from Arabian Nights TO
Daniel Deronda. As for books of travel, one
may visit, without leaving the shadow of
Wantastiquet, every inhabited portion of the
earth, and get correct idea of the political
and social status of every nation and tribe-its
customs, religion, laws, art, science and liter
AZURE. In the field of science, we find abund-
ant help to the study of astronomy geology,
botany, chemistry, natural history compare
tive anatomy and natural philosophy And,
as books of reference, what more could we
desire than the following, viz. Cyclopedia
Britannica, New American Cyclopedia, Cyclic
pedia of English Literature, Oyclopedia of
Music, Cyclopedia of Travel Cyelopedia of
Industry, Cyclopedia of Authors, Dictionary
of Mechanics, Dictionary of Dates, Dictionary
of Bible, Ure's Dictionary, and Smiths Class
ical Dictionary all of which may be found in

The question, "Who was tho

not q nero nonscnsical catch, and
the answer is that Thundor was

is alleged that in North Carolina
Democratic returning boards have
been throwing out Republican
votes. The World took occasion
long ago to point out that the re-
turning board was great institu--
ton, and that the Republicans had
testified on numberless occasions
to it's value. Until decent inter-

RUSSIAN LADIES AS SMOKERS. Ladies' as
well as gentlemen smoke cigarettes in Russia
ladies of MI Glasses and under all circum-
stances, l was about to say. l would not,
however, give the reader to understand that
ladies of the highest class would stroll the
streets Of a great city, putting a cigarette,
though they might parade small village in
that fashion But they smoke Mt railway sta
tions, on steamboats, and at hotels, dozens of
cigarettes a day, sometimes. They roll and
light their own cigarettes, scratching the nee
essary matches on pillar or post, just like a
man. Sometimes a light goes out and they
try again-as why shouldn't they? If they
have no matches or wish to save themselves
the trouble of lighting one, they ask the first
gentleman smoking they meet to favor them
with light Leaning forward to the cigar,
pipe or cigarette which he extends, they ig-
nit their little roll, bow slightly and pass on,
Sometimes a gentleman asks a lady to extend
to him the same favor, and sometimes l am
inclined to believe the spark of love as well as
the fragrant tobacco leaf is kindled in the
course of these civilities. The only Difficult
ty the lady labors under in the whole matter
is due to the character of her costume. She
cannot scratch match on her pantaloons
like an Irishman. .-C Cor. Boston Journal.

How CHILD HAS MADE FoBTUNE.-Mag-
gle Benson, who has been known as "Baby"
Benson, is able to retire from business at the
early age of IL, with a cool hundred thousand
dollars, which she has secured for herself.
She was born at New York city in January
1868, and made her first public appearance at
the Grand Opera house, New York, while the
late James Fisk was manager, where when
only three years old she danced and sang a
comic song. She afterwards performed in
other theatres in the United States, and then
started on tour round the world perform
ing to crowded houses in Australia, South
America, South Africa and England. She
was q great favorite everywhere, and at Cape
Town especially, the people, enriched by the
then recent discoveries of diamonds in that
part of the world, overwhelmed her with gifts
of jewels to the value of many thousand dol
lars. Sir Bartle Frere, the governor of Cape
Town, wrote the child pleasant letter thank
ing her for the great pleasure she had given
him She is described as a most affectionate
child, of a religious turn of mind, and reg
ular attendant of the Sunday school of the
Methodist church at Newport, r. l., which
her parents attend. Her mother and step
father, themselves theatrical people, have ac-
companied her on her professional tours.

MANY of THE OLD MASTERS made amusing
and curious blunders in their works. Tinto-
ret represented the "Israelites Gathering
Mamma" armed with guns. Cigoli painted the
aged Simeon at the circumcision of Christ
with a pair of spectacles on his nose and
Rubens committed the same error in his ia
nous picture of "Mary Amounting the Feet of
Christ" In picture of "Christ Healing the
Sick" by Vcrrio, the spectators are represent
ed as wearing periwigs on their heads. AL
bert Durer painted the expulsion of Adam and
Eve from the Garden of Eden by an angel in
founced dress. The same artist, in a pic
ture of Peter Denying Christ, introduces q
Roman soldier smoking a German pipe. A
Flemish picture of the wise men worshipping
the infant Christ has one of them depicted in
a large white surplice and in boots and spurs.
In this incongruous dress, he is represented
in the act of presenting the child with model
of Dutch man-of-war. An artist of the
same school, in a painting of Abraham offer
lug up his son Isaac, the patriarch, instead of
using knife as described in the Scriptures,
is holding a blunderbuss to the head of Isaac.
Bellini has pictured the virgin and child in
the act of listening to a violin in another
picture, he has drawn King David playing q
harp at the marriage of Christ with ST. Cath
crime. In u French picture of the Last Sup
per, the table is ornAmented with tumblers
filled with cigar-lighters. The crowning blum
der il shown in painting of the Garden of
Eden in which Adam and Eve are represent
ed in all their primitive simplicity while in
the immediate back ground appears hunter
i'll q modern sporting-suit, in the act of shoot
ing ducks with gun.

The announcement is made that the Order
of Trappists has bought number OF acres of
land in Western Pennsylvania with view of
establishing monastery there. The conf
muuity, to consist of 200 monks from France,
Ireland and Turkey, will be the fourth of the
order that has settled on this continent. The
other three are at New Haven, KY, New
Melleriy Iowa, and Tracadie, Nova Scotia,
the last having been originally founded 10
years ago at Conewago, Penn. The Trap
pists who are coming are drawn from divers
trades and professions, being experinced me-
chanics, dairymen, artists, architects, lawyers,
and physicians, some of whom had gained
reputation in their own country before relin-
gushing tine world and its vanities. They in
tend to put up their own buildings and do all
the work of the monastery, beginning their
labors next spring, The Trappists, the most
austere of all the religious orders of the Ro-
man Church, were founded in the seventeenth
century by Armand Jean de Rance. They
rise at in the morning; devote ~ hours of
the day TO devotion and the remainder to
hard work mainly in the field. No secular
conversation is permitted on meeting they
salute one onother with Remember death, P"
(NemeHt0 mOyi, and speak no more, They
subsist on water and vegetables, meat, beer,
and wine being strictly prohibited. They sleep
on a board with pillow of straw, and never
undress, even in illness. Their extreme rigor
has prevented their diffusion. There are less
than $500, it is said, in the whole world,
which is not strange as their discipline and
rules are utterly at variance with reason and
the spirit of progress.
