There is one thing we must be very

At the request of the Chairman,
Mrs. Greenwood excellently performed
a solo on the pianoforte, which was well
received.
Mr.. W. Hastings Hughes said

Institute was held at Huntsville, Scott
county, on the l4th September. Mr..
H. B. Lindsay was chosen president,
and Mr.. c. W. Murphy, secretary. Mr..

FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
Repor; Of the commission Appointed
to Eaamiue the Theatres Halls,

The commission appointed by the Com
mssioneIs to inspect the public buildings
and Iepor. in regard TO their safety in case
Of fire or otherwise have prepared Il report
which was submitted to-day in relation to
The buildings already inspected, which are
the National Theatre, Ford's, the Comique
and the Capital date Avenue) Theatre as
well as Lincoln, Tallmadge, Shea's and
Abnor's Hall, the Masonic Temple and the
Government Printing office.
The Capital Theatre is reported to be in
need of tire.proof PARTITION separating
the auditorium from the stage. The stage
should be provided with water-plugs and
hose, and a perforated pipe should be placed
over and around the prosceniun arch. The
building should be heated by steam instead
Of hot air, as proposed.
The National theatre is reported to be pro-
vidud with ample means OF exit from the
first floor. The staiIways from the dress
circle should be provided with iron banis-
tcrs. The exits from the gallery are re-
earded as defective, and the building of IN
additional staircase is recommended. The
report also suggests the erection of u brick
PARTITION between the auditorium aud stage
and that two ircmen be stationed at the
theatre during performances to manage the
fire apparatus in case Of panic,
y I ora Solltfa-nOlSc ) wall ulNldln the
stage from the auditorium is also regarded
as necessary. The railngs of the exterior
staircase are regarded as Of insufficient
strength and new ones are thought neces-
sary. That two fremen be stationed at this
theatre is also thought important. The
committee also recommend that iire-prOof
drop curtains should be used in the Ma
tional and Fords.
The CGmique is reported TO have ample
means Of exit. 1t has II brick proscenium
wall and chemical apparatus to cXtinguish
fire. The frame structure on the roof IS
ordered to be taken down.
Lincoln Hall was found very sa.isflc-
tory in all respects, but the widening of
two dOorways was recommended.
At the Masonic Temple iron shutters are
recommended OIL the north wall to prevent
fire from communicating from adjoining
buildings.
A change of the doors of Tallmadge Hall
SO that they will open outward will make
this building safe in cases of panic.
The same requirement is made in regard
to Abner's Hall and Shea's Hall
The Government Printing office is re-
ported to have always been u source Of
annoyance to the Fire Department, and
although every precaution is taken to pre-
vent the breaking out of fire, such an
occurrence would prove terribly disastrous.
The committee recommend various changes,
including the widening or erection of stair
ways, the substitution of iron for wood
shutters aud doors, etc, etc.

American Literature for children

London Times, December 20, 1881.
"Thcrc is an old song which sings how II
certain venerable man delighted to pass the
evening of his days in initiating his grand
child in the eShilarating game of draughts
and how, so well did the lad profit by his
instruction, that mt last the old man was
beaten by the boy. In looking over the
two parts of St. Nicholas, this old song
has come back to us. Certainly the pro.
ducers Of such literature for our own boys
and girls must look to their laurcls. Both
in the letterpress and the engravings these
two volumes seem to us Though the admiS.
sion touch our vanity or our patriotism,
call it by which namo we will, something
closely above anything we produce in the
same line. The lettcrpress, while contain
ing quite as large n power Of attraction for
faucies, is so much more idea'd, so much
less commonplace, altogether of higher
literary style than the average production
of our ANNALS Of the same class. And the
pictures are often works of real art, not
only as cngravings, but as compositions of
original design.
