A GREAT LIBRARY.-The late Will
liam Niblo of new York, founder of
Niblo's garden, who died August, 1878,
provided that after paying bequests the
residue of his estate should be given to
the library of the Young Mems Christian
Association. Accordingly, $l50,000
was last week paid over to Mr. Robert
Hoe, Jr., the trustee selected by Mr..
Niblo as his agent in the establishment
of the library. During his life Mr..
Niblo as his agent in the trustee select
ed by Mr.. Niblo as his agent in the es-
tablishment of the library. During his
life Mr.. Niblo gave to the Young Mems
Christian Association his collection of
nearly six hundred works on fine arts,
and, through Mr.. Hoe, assisted the
growth of the library nucleus by gifts
of money. The money was paid ID
in three parts, 100000 being in hard
cash, and the remainder in bonds and
mortgages Of this magnificent gift the
New York Times takes the occasion to
observe: "William Niblo could hardly
be called millionaire, but his last be-
quest shows an amount of public spirit
of which New York millionaires have
not shown themselves capable. y

THOUGHTS FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT.

Virtue is the safest helmet-the most
secure defense.
No bank can shield us from the i'm
partiality of death.
The power of eloquence is sometimes
superior to military force.
1t is in the power of the meanest to
triumph over fallen greatness.
He who refuses justice to the defense
less will make every concession to the
powerful.
Preserve the privacy of your house,
marriage state, heart, from relatives and
all the world.
There is only one thing that is more
terrible than to say mean thing, and
that is to do one.
1t is all very well to be promising
youth, but the hard part is to keep your
promise in after life.
Don't confde your secrets to a person
of noble lineage, because the old adage
says that "Blood will tell"
You may safely commit the child's
clothes to the servant, but the rest Of

A poor relation is like fit of the
gout. for the oftener he comes the long

to stay all the time.
When you can say of a man that bis
religion has got hold of his pocketbook
you may be reasonably sure that his re
ligion is the right kind.

CITY LIFE.

The editor of .Scrs6ner's Monthly, in
the January number, concludes an article
on the above topic as follows: To sum
up what the city man really feels IN re-
gard to the coming of his country ac-
quaintances to the city, it would not be
far from this, viz:
lst. The chances for wealth are as
great, practically, in the country as IN
the city, and the expenses of living and
and the risks of disaster much less.
I'd. The competitions Of city life and
the struggles to get hold of business and
salaried work are fearful. No man
should come to the city unless he knows
what he is going to do. or has money
enough in his hands to take care OF him.
self until he gets living position or
becomes satisfied that he cannot get one.
Even to-day, with the evidences of re-
newed prosperity all around US, there
arc probably ten applications on file for
every desirable place. and no man living
here could help friend to a place un-
| less he could create one.
Sd. That the social privileges of the
city may be greater, while the opportnn-
tiles of social distinction and-the proba-
bilities of social consideration are much
less than they lin the country.
4th. That in many respects there Is
nothing in the city that can compensate
for the pure pleasures of country scenery
and country life and neighborhood asso-
Citations.
9Th. That city mans dream Of the
future, particularly if he ever lived in
the country, is always of the country
and the soil. He longs to leave the
noise and fight all behind him and 60
back to his country home to enjoy the
money he may have won.

GEN. SHERIDAN'S FIRST
VICTORY.

It was in November, 1866. The In
dians had attacked the block house at
the Middle Cascades. and had the in
mates badly whipped and in imminent
danger of being massacred at any mo-
ment. A courier was sent flying away
to Vancouver, where Sheridan held the
fort at that time, calling for Immediate
assistance. Everything about the post
was thrown into great commotion in the
hurry and hustle of speedy departure
Sheridan caused an old-fashioned iron
cannon to be placed on board little
steamer, and, in remarkably short
space of time was steamiDg away up the
Columbia. Arriving at the Cascades
the cannon was put on shore and taken
to position on the bank of the river in
the range of the beleaguered block house.
which was surrounded by yelling sava-
ges. In the excitement of the moment
the gun was placed very near the bank
and loaded very heavily. The order
was given, fearful boom, which crash
ed and reached throughout the noun
tains, was heard, the cannon kicked over
the bluff and went splashing into the
Columbia, 20 feet below. The artillery
was silenced, and Sheridan stood per-
picked. His chagrin was turned to joy
as he beheld the savages running with
all their speed for the mountains, yell
ing as only savages could. They had
never before heard the report of a can
non, and imagined the judgment day had
come. Sheridan won his first victory,
saving the lives of those in the block
house, and probably many others, as one
success of the hostiles would have caused
a raid down the river. Some of the mer
said the Indians did not quit running
until they had crossed Snake river in
Idaho.
