A Set of Dickens Works Presented.

A Set of Dickens Works Presented.
One of the most elegant and, at the same
time, one of the most acceptable presents
ever made to the Public Library, was yes
terday presented by our esteemed fellow
townsman, Martin L. Ross, Esq, of the
wholesale grocery house of M. l.. Ross &
Co. The set consists of thirteen new vol
umes of James r. Osgood Il Co.'s edition
of Dickens, with original illustrations,
by S. Eytinge, jr. The donation
was all the more timely from the fact
that some of the volumes of Dickens now
on hand are nearly worn out and these can
take their places. The purchase of SO at
tractive an edition of the great novelist is as
creditable to Mr.. Ross taste as its presenta-
ton to the Public Library is indicative of
his generosity and kindly feeling toward SO
worthy public institution. The manage
ment of the Library return hearty vote of
thanks for this substantial manifestation of
interest in their enterprise.

Anderson Williams, colored, was sitting
on the end of cross-tie on the railroad
near the Willow Spring, just east of the
city, as the 10:40 passenger train came down
yesterday morning, asleep and drunk.
When he was discovered the engineer blew
his whistle at terrible rate, but to no pur-
pose. The engine and tender passed him,
but the steps of the first car struck him on
the shoulder and tumbled him off down an
embankment. Anderson was picked up
and taken home, and Drs. Bowman and
Boyd summoned. His shoulder blade was
found to be fractured, and he had a slight
cut behind the ear, was about the extent of
his injuries, which were painful, though
not dangerous. Worst of all, however, a
whisky bottle in his pocket was smashed to
pieces, and the contents lost.

THE LOST JEANNETTE.
By M. G. 8.

From San Francisco in the sunny South,
A ship unfurled her sails,
Followed by God speed!" from every
Famed on by scented gales.
Beyond the harbor gate she passed from
sight,
Far on the tranquil seas;
Swept onward, like creature of delight,
Before the Southland breeze.
The cloudless day smiled on her; peaceful
waves
Beat soft against her sides,
With not one single warning of the graves
Dug by their treacherous tides.
And with her, on her voyage to the North,
There went no weak regret;
In hopes, tinted livery clad, forth
Sailed the good Jeanette.
Memories sweet of waiting home and land
Chung to her on the deep
Thrilled her brave men like familiar hand,
Laid on them in the deep.
Fast DER tide of waters ship and crew,
At dawn and evening prest,
By smiling shores, where prosperous breezes
blew,
Drawn nearer to their quest
Far on, to desolate coast it passed,
While every heart beat high,
When the gale changed to a wild arctic
blast,
And icebergs floated by.
Driven by storms, the ship reeled to and fro,
And even death drew near,
Or clear calm nights or days of ardent glow,
Dispelled gathering fear.
But for the ship there was no outlet left,
Between the lofty heights,
So swift her. doom closed round the lost
Jeanette,
Through awful days and nights.
Bravely she struggled till they crushed her
there,
Wrecked in the Polar sea,
Never to spread her sails to the warm air
Never to be free.
Oh, stately ship! Oh, seamen tried and
bold
Who in some lonely place
Perished in dissolution and wintry cold,
The world gives honored space.
To record her fate, and in the fair South,
With quivering lips of pain
And wistful eyes fixed on the harbor mouth,
Love keeps her love in vain.
No CLEAN of sun, no tempest's rising swell,
Shall ever stir them more,
On the Siberian coast, where they fell,
In winding sheets of snow.

OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY.


Two Months Work. of the Board of Di-
rectOrs.
With the donation of a set of Dickens
works, mentioned elsewhere, together with
the books recently purchased and put on the
shelves, there have been sixty-four new vol
umes added to the Public Library since the
18th of March, this year. The room has
been put in much more attractive oondi-
ton, and the business is carried on in
more satisfactory manner than ever be-
fore. We know of no place in which
an hour can be more pleasantly
and prohtably spent, and the attendance is
increasing rapidly every day. The aim of
the president and board of directors for this
year has been to popularize the library
among all classes of our citizens, and, with
that end in view, printed hand-bills have
been posted in every ork-shop, machine
shop, foundry, rolling mill, and places
where laboring men are to be found, di-
recting attention to its attractions and in
viting everybody to come up and pay it a
visit
Printed and framed notices have been
placed in the hotels for the benefit of
strangers stopping over in the city for day
or two, and having no place in which to
while away an evening By these means
the advantages of the library have been
brought under the notice of much wider
range of people than ever before, and the
effect is becoming very perceptible The
gentlemen having the control now win
81 are neither time nor trouble in future, as
they have since their election, to make the
institution as useful and attractive as it can
be made, and the splendid success attaine d
by them in the last two months give promise
of an unusually fine showing at the end OF
! the year
