LORD CoLERlDGE is quoted by q
New York paper as saying an absence
Of hardly two months from his native
land has served to win him from the
standard of English loneliness, and can
conscicntiously champion only the
American type Of beauty. Wherever
ne went sht American lady was the
same charming parsonage, antf the
American girl the same sclf.posscssetl
bundle Of independent anomalies. lie
could not sufficiently praise the fresh
complcxions, the charming manners
and the independence That marked the

WE are much pleased to notice that
the Rev. Henry Ward Bcechtr rccciy-
cd no gloritication at tho hands Of the
good people of Charleston. MANY of
them, no doubt, went to hear him talk
just as they would have gone to any
other show-but this seems to have
been all the recognition he had. Ii
was certainly ali he deserved. Mr..
Beochcr is no model for reputable men
and women to follow. The laxitv of
his mora als-his low standard OF pro-
llis uttcranccs and his actions have
time and again shocked the moral
sense OF tho country, and dono dis
mono" to the religion Of which he pro-
fesscs to be teacher. Ills undoubt-
cdly great intellect has been used for
purposes totally foreign to his calling,
and he has been always more politician
than clcrgyman: lie certainly has no
PROPER place in the Christian church.
Ills hatred Of the South and his wan.
ton, dowardly and indecent abuso' of
Southern people, ought not soon to be
forgotten. We hopc tho Plymouth

serves, r stiff reception all over the

An Explanation from tho President OF the
Literary Club.
-hcsSrs. EtlitorS: In SATURDAYS
ISSUE Of your paper noticed a call
upon the chairman for IN explanation
or n plan to prevent the retention of
books out of the reading room longer
than the time prescribed by the rules.
l am glad that some notice has been
taken OF tllc practice, ard l hope that
your sqnib on the subject will attract
the attention ct dclinqucnts and rcn-
der them more careful in the future.
This borrowing Of books, however,
ana retaining them indefinitely, or
altogether, is Of no recent date. and
has always been source Of complaint
in societies IKE ours, and even in pri-
vate life hear persons object to lend
ing their books, OH account Of the ill.,
treatment they receive and the risk
they incur Of never getting them back.
l will illustrate this by stating that
some time ago lent one of my jour
nails which contained piece which I
thought would be Interesting and
amusing, to n nemspape, ctNfot, who
is supposed nerer to forget, and ncith-
crarticlc nor journal has ever appeared.
Tho moral is, that; if an editor can
forget, then we ought not to be too
severe on the laity. But if | rcmcm-
Der correctly, there has been a provi-
sion made for this very contingency.
There is a book and pencil provided
with the names of>all the Journals and
newspapers indcxed and pages headed,
"nd any ono taking out a journal or
paper is requested to writc his or her
name, and date Of taking't tho same,
and the date of its return; and It isn
part Of the duty Of the treasurer to
sec that this obligation is performed,
ana if neglected, to collect a'flnc of
twenty-five cents per wcclfor tho time
the journal is' retained. So that vou
Will perceive, Mcssrs. Editors, that If
there has been any dcrcliction of duty
tho treasurer is tho ono IN fault. But 7
