[By telegraph to the Dispatch.l
ALBANY. n. Y, January 81
Speaker Carlisle and Mrs. Carlisle left
here on the afternoon train for New
York, after spending several hours at
the residence Of President-elect and
Miss Cleveland. Before the departure
of Speaker Carlisle yice-President-
elect Hendricks arrived, and was met
by Bank-Superintendent Willis s.
Paine, who drove with him at once in a
close carriage to the Kenmore. where
rooms had been prepared. Mr.. Hen
bricks originally intended to leave
on the 2:40 p. NJ. train with
Speaker Carlisle, but concluded TO
postpone his departure until evening.
His presence here created stir in po-
liticai circles. Before leaving Speaker
Carlisle said that he passed . most plea
SAINT evening with Mr.. Cleveland. 1t
was the first time they had met, and he
was forcibly impressed by him. Mr..
Cleveland struck him as "a man of
force, conviction, and strong common
sensc-after all the only sense worth
having" They talked Of matters of
party policy generally. and also talked
of men. Mr.. Carlisle will not be able
to visit New York next week, as his
duties as Speaker will keep him in
Washington.

ALBANY, n. Y. January 3l.-Vice-
President-clect Hendricks was accom-

depot by half dozen friends, and left
by the o'clock train for New York.
While here it is understood he had a
most important conference with
MIR. Cleveland and Speaker Car
Isle. II is impossible to ascertain
what was said or determined upon
but it is believed the discussion con-
cerned the policy of the party, and was
designed to bring about uniformity in
the policy Of the party. Mr.. Hendricks
was extremely reticent, and declined to
say anything. 1t is understood to be
his intention to proceed to New York
and Washington, and thence to New
Orleans.

HELPS TO Rook BEADING.

The Sacramento Bee thinks that
the ides advanced BY the APPEAL,
Of printing books with marginal
notes by some clever reader who
had marked and commented on the
striking passages, would ruin the
publisher who tried it, as there
would be no striking passages" to
mark.
It il a folly to assume that the
eve Of making good books is over.
Some Of the old standard works
will never be supplanted, but a
year never goes by that some
interesting or striking volume does
not come forth, but in the rush Of
publishers to eli up the stalls with
anything and everything, = great
mass of trash is dumped upon the
public, so much, in fact, that one
hesitates to begin the reading of a
new book at all.
If the new books were printed as
the APPEAL suggests, one could
glance over the pages and in few
moments pick out enough Of the
marked passages to get tolerable
fair assay Of the value Of the book,
and ascertain directly whether the
book was worth reading or not.
Again, many readers only read a
book for the striking things in it,
caring little if anything for the
plot Of the story; whether the
heroine marries the hero or com
mits suicide.
OF course, many publishers
would abuse the plan by marking
their books in such way that
it would seem absolutely pep
pered with good things; but the
reader would be soon to detect
such manifest fraud, and avoid
the publications Of that house.
Let some well known literary man
and critic read aud mark the book,
and on the cover there could be
an announcement: Read and
marked by so and So" Presently
one would ascertain whose tastes
among the professional book read
ers were most like his own, and fol-
low them as literary guides.
In this way, good thiLgs in books
which escape the average reader,
would be forced upon his attention,
and books 50 poor that no one OF
note would read and furnish the
marginal comments, would fall fat
on the market, and be consigned to
= deserved oblivion.
Again, old books which have
gradually drifted away from the
reading public, but which were
full of good things, could be taken
up, read by some thoughtful per
son. marked and commented on,
and published afresh. Thus. many
jems of poetry and romance could
be rescued from the garbage heap
of time, and reset to dazzle the
world again.
We think the result Of the sys-
TEN wovld be the survival Of the
fttest, and the time would come
when an author who could not secure
the services Of some noted marker
vel known to the public and in Its
confidence, would knock in vain at
the door Of the publishing house.

Phelps COolihan was tried before JUS
tice Knapp, Friday afternoon last, on the
charge of dealing in i~ntoXicants. He
asked for a jury, and Messrs. Gasca Rich,
E. Nallette. j. W.. Chadwick. j. E. Ne
gus, j. A. Wright and Edward Richard
sou acted in that capacity. Considerable
testimony was heard. 1t appeared from
the evidence that an extraordinary guam
tity of pop beer is consumed in this
neighborhood. One LaJoy remembered,
however, that he had bought at least two
drinks of whiskey at Coolihan's place of
business, so the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty of two offences as of the first
conviction. and the justice imposed the
customary fine of $40 and costs for each
offence. LaJoy is poor, and the neigh
bOrs have provided in part for the fam
lily during the winter, while, as they be-
lieved, Lajoy spent what little money he
did have at COolihan's. The Temperance
union has also aided to clothe the chill
dren. Finally one of the neighbors made
complaint and this prosecution is the re-
suit. COOlihan took an appeal and gave
bonds in the sum of $75 for appearance
at the county court. Special Prosecutor
