HUGHES PUBLIC LIBRARY.
OPENING DAY.

The origin of the Hughes Public
Library was just two years ago. Be-
fore Mr.. Thomas Hughes return to
after he had formally
opened the Rugby settlement on
behalf of the Board of Aid, on
October 9Th, 1880, he visited Boston,
and while there was entertained at a
breakfast given by the publishing
house of Houghton, Mifflin and Co.
All the principal publishing firms Of
the country we're represented, and
Mr.. Dana Estes, of Boston, an
nounced a plan he had conceived of
establishing in Rugby, a free public
library, cas- a token Of respect for
Thomas Hughes The proposition
was we'll received, and at once acted
upon by the publishers of Boston,
New York and Philadelphia, sub
scribing together about six thousand
volumes, and suggesting "to the
authorities of the town that it (the
library should be named the
Hughes Public Library
At a meeting of the colonists at
Rugby the gift was gratefully &C
cepted, and a committee formed to
take immediate steps for the carry
ing out of the proposed plans.
Promises of support in the way Of
books and documents came in freely
from many States, and the Public
Library at Chicago, in remembrance
of Mr.. Hughes efforts to restore
their library after the fire, directed
their librarian, Mr.. Poole, to supply
the vacancies in the catalogue of the
Rugby library, furnishing books not
already contributed.
The foundation stone was laid by
Mrs. Hughes on the 9TH OF June
last. Since then the books from
the various publishers have been
received, and Mr.. Bertz, the librarian,
has been very busy preparing a
preliminary catalogue, and other
wise arranging, with the Committee,
all that was necessary to complete
the work for opening day.
Although the building is but
small, the inside room is spacious,
and appears to be amply sufficient
for its purpose. The walls are filled
with shelves; and with convenient
tables and other necessary acces-
sories, the room is very complete,
and presents a neat and blJou

THE HUGHES PUBLIC LIBRARY, RUGBY,

appearance. AS one stands in the
centre, surrounded by the six
thousand gaily backed volumes, and
looks out upon the immediate forest
scene, with the unbroken ground of
past ages in every direction, the re-
Election is that Rugby possesses at an
early stage in its history, a collection
of books that would indeed have
made Dominic Sampson raise both
arms, and exclaim "Pro-digious!!'
The building is pretty faithfully
represented in our engraving, and,
it will be seen, portrays an inter
esting and attractive feature to the
visitor arriving in the town, at the
entrance to which it stands. The
library is, in truth, a most appropri-
ate and graceful tribute and "token
of respect for Thomas Hughes"
from the publishing world of the
United States, and is boon to
Rugby of no common kind, and one
of inestimable value.
The contractor was the late Mr..
Winkley, but at his death, the work
was continued and successfully COM
pleted by Mrs. Winkley, with the
management of Mr.. F. Taylor,
builder, of Newbury Road, Rugby.
The total cost has been about
$2,013.47.
On Thursday, Oct. 9Th, the Library
Trustees were sufficiently advanced
in their work to call together their
friends and neighbors in celebration
of opening day. By three o'clock
in the afternoon the building was
comfortably filled by residents and
neighbors of Rugby, and justly
noticeable among all were Mrs.
Hughes and Mr.. w. Hastings
Hughes, ably representing, in the
much regretted absence of Mr..
Thomas Hughes, the benevolent and
excellent gentleman whose name the
library bears, and in whose honor it
was conceived and carried to it's
great success.
Mr.. Blackjack, as one Of the
Trustees, commenced the proceed
ings by remarking: We have been
called together in this colony to
take part in several important. events
since the settlement took its rise.
About two years ago, many OF us
who are here now, heard Mr..
Thomas Hughes speak to us on the
opening of the colony. Subse-
quently the arrival of Bishop
Quintard called us together again.
The Rugbeian and district reporter. (Rugby, Tenn.) 1882-1883, 1882-10-07

and the church was dedicated, and
then the schools were opened, and
now again we meet to open this
splendid library. We owe all this
to the American people, and to their
gratitude and high estimation of
Thomas Hughes, for his untiring
spirit and energy, mainly after the
public library at Chicagowas burned,
in doing all he could to replace the
lost treasures. Mr.. Hughes name
invariably calls up broad, loving
response from all here and in
England. America gave all this to
Rugby, it is the noble gift of Amer
lea, and Chicago is going to supply
the vacancies among the books, in
order that we may have "sym-
metrical library" We have not
books here that will not be read,
but all readable volumes. We have
plenty of law books, though; and
the people of Tennessee are noted
for their love of law. Why here
we have within my reach legal docu-
ments of Massachusetts-an arm
full
This library is in harmony with
all we hear and know of America.
In all new places a plot is set aside
for educational purposes, so that
men and women may grow up in
intelligence; all over the land it is
so, and among them all Rugby holds
a proud position, and from Chatta-
nooga to Cincinnati you can't match
it. No, we can't fail in Rugby,
because we have vim, we have energy,
we have religion, we are a God-fear-
ing and law-abiding people. The
speaker then referred to many
points of common interest and SYM
pathy between this country and
England, how each was drawing
nearer to the other to achieve VIC
tories of peace, not of war. lie
then, on behalf of the Trustees,
declared the library open to the
public.
Mr.. W. Hastings Hughes / feel
quite unable adequately to represent
my brother on this occasion. All |
can do is to thank you, through our
Chairman, for the work you have SO
we'll done, also to thank those who
have subscribed the money and

this will be very cheering to my
brother, as we have, evidently, been
going, as a colony, through some
heavy trials.

Mr. Cyrus Clarke: l never could
talk much when | had nothing to
say, but | am very gratifed to be
present here to day. Now | love the
name of Thomas Hughes. His
name came to me years ago-during
our civil war. There is no higher
estimate | would give to a man than
| would give to Thomas Hughes,
and | am glad this library bears the
name of such a man, gentleman and
Christian. Now l want to say that
the foundation of true government
rests upon the intelligence of the
masses. Happy are the people with
such books as we have around us,
and thrice happy those who read
them. have belonged to Rugby
from the first, and never liked to
belong to anything that failed,
now Rugby has not failed, and will
not fail. Why should not this
beautiful country be settled up by
industrious people and made to
"blossom like the rose," by "Par-
thians, and Medes, and Elamites,
and the dwellers in Mesopotamia,"
and beyond Jordan? Rugby can't
be shut up here in a nut shell; if it
is, it will become as dead as Cleo

Mr.. Bertz, as librarian, said he
was afraid this would be but half
an opening, as it would be some
weeks yet before the catalogue
would be filled in by the donations,
and the books received from Chicago.
In the mean time the room will be
opened from nine to twelve, and any
one during those hours could come
and read there. After the cata-
logue was completed books could be
taken away from the library. Re-
specting the books, he said, would

much fction-still we are very CRATE

now that Mr.. Hill, of Cincinnati,

volumes to the library.

The Cork Trade.

The cork harvest in Spain, which,
with France, Portugal and Italy, is the
principal source from whence the sup
plies of cork are derived, is becoming
every year more scanty. owing to the
greed of growers, who have injured the
stock Of trees by stripping them of their
bark too frequently. The tree which
produces the most valuable cork does
not come to maturity for a quarter. of q
century, and can only be barked to ad .
vantage every eight or ten years; but
the temptation to make rapid profits has
been too great to Withstand, and the re-
suit has been the ruin of many planta-
lions. Some of the quick -g1o owing
varities produce an inferior, porous kind
Of cork, but the best are the slowest of
growth. England alone imports some
10000 tons of cork per annum, and the
quantity is yearly increasing, notwith-
standing the introduction Of many sub
stitutes for cork, such as plugs Of wood,
whose fibers have been specially soften
ed for the purpose, india rubber, and
other contrivances. The French govern
ment, seeing the desirability Of securing
as large share of this trade as possible,

A GREAT OPERATORS REAL POWER

The popular superstition concerning
Wall street, says writer in the North
American Review, is that the great stock
speculators control speculation. They
are supposed to make and unmake prices
at their pleasure. When they determine
the market shall rise, it rises. When
they determine it shall 60 down, it goes
down; and in the hands of these financial
giants the outside public is helpless.
Possibly SO men out 100 who think of
the matter at all cherish this theory of
the movements of speculation. To he
true, it would require that the half
dozen men recognized as great operat-
ors should hold in their hands all the
elements that 60 to make up specula-
ton. They should be able to give or
withhold from us bountiful harvests; to
blast the grain fields Of Europe when we
have large surplus to sell; to give ua
mild or severe winters, floods or drought;
to call up the devouring swarms of
grasshoppers in the west, as Moses
called the plague of locusts upon Egypt;
to increase or diminish the stream of
immigration pouring into the country
to make commerce and manufactures
flourish or wither, as they may will it.
These are the elements that enter into
speculation. 1t is these which make and
unmake prices. None know this better
than the great operators. They know
how narrow are the limits of their power
over the great movements of the specu-
lative tides recorded in the figures on
the stock tape: and the millions they
have rolled up have been acquired by
the success with which they have timed
their schemes to their ebb and flow.
