The Anti-Monopoly League.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-A large mass meeting
was held tonight at Cooper Institute. under the
auspices of the National Anti-Monopoly League
Peter Cooper was present President l.. T.. Chit
tenen briefly stated the object and purpose OF the
League, asserting its origin to be the outgrowth
of abuses of corporate powers, and urging the
necessity Of universal organization on some sys-
tematic basis by the entire tax-paying element OF
the country.
Judge Black, of Pennsylvania. was introduced.
He spoke for over an hour and in the course of
his address, the keynote Of which was the legal
and constitutional aspects of the transportation
question he considered at length relations of cor
poratians to the public He said that the course
of these institutions had been steadily toward a
complete monopoly. that their ultimate designs
were fraught with the greatest danger to the
State. and that unless legislation should step in
and aid an oppressed people the whole machinery
of Government would be thrown into the hands
Of mOnOpolists. These men" said the speaker,
'.are not now satisfied with their possessions;
they VIII still continue to water their stocks, 10
absorb TIE property of others and tax producers
at their own caprice, and by the consolidation ol
railroads, the union of telegraph lines, subyersiOn
of laws and insecurity given corporate properties
by their refusal to recognize the rights of the mi
nOrity shareholders, they have set at defiance the
rights of the public, and the individual is pre-
vented from beneficial competition"

Carlyle,s Personal Appearance

The Boston Home Journal contains an
article on Carlyle, from the gifted pen of
Mr.. George NJ. Towle, which derives addi
tional value from his having visited him
twelve years ago. Carlyle's appearance is
thus descriSed:
4 rather tfiick-set figure, OF medium height
somewhat benz. with rounded shoulders; awk-
wardly and heavily built: ungainly and cum
brous in movement; attired in clothes which on
ly just escaped the imUutation OF sbabbineSS, and
which confessed themselves open TO the charge
ly feet, incased in heavy shoes; these were the
first impressions of the man as he slowly walked
past. in dreamy state which kept his eyes fixed
on vacancy The movement of the body
sOlheMAa, aneCteu oy age, Dut lhe long slIlue IN
dicated what sturdy pedestrian ne must have
once been. The face overshadowed by a big
slouch hat, was certainly one never to be forgot
ten. You thought you recognized a sort of
duplication OF the Scottish national traits; grim
adherence TO opinion, the puritanic earnestneSS
searching force of the higher range of Scottish
intellect. The hair was thick. knotty, gray, and
grew far down on the forehead in penteOus tufts.
The forehead was low, broad, and projected over
the eyes. The eyes were very deep and set in
their large caverns, and were shaded by heavy
bristling brows; they were small dull and of
grayish blue color. The nose was straight and
bold, but fine and sensitive-the only delicate
feature OF the face. The almost shapeleSs mouth
with scarcely curve, the neither lip slightly
short, bristling, gray mustache, and rather
closely cut gray beard, which seemed all tangled
and kn0tted, and covered each cheek as wei as
the chin. The expression of tho furrow ed fea-
cheeks, was sonbre, thoughtful and wrapt You
could almost read the troublous history of a
mind agitated through long life in the stern
ana repelllng force OF this expression.
