FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 9.

A curious demand on a physician "aa
made bv deserted husband in New jersey
last week. 1t appears that the physician,
while attending one of his patients noticeo
that the woman who was acting as PROBES
s;onal nurse in the case was dishgured oy a
huge wart on her cheek. Apart from Inc
wart the woman's feature were attractive.
The physician, in pure kindness, offered to
remove the ug ly excrescence, and the Wo,
man consented on being assured that it conld
he done without danger and without cosi'
The operation was done quickly and sue
cessfully. Her husband alleges that she i'm
mediately grew more careful of her attire.
Her modest, sombre bued, plain cut gar
ments we're laid aside, and she donned more
gaudv and fashionable dresses and wraps.
The removal of the wart had wrought Il
great change, and the plain woman became
pretty and vain. From that time she DC
came dissatisfied with her home and souSh
gay company, and at length deserted her
husband. The man was exasperated, ana
attributine his misfortune to the removal CT
the wart, abused the physician VINO ola IT,
and demanded that he should atone TOR the
wrong by aiding him personally ana WIN
money to discover the fugitive.

The New National Library.

Washington Letter: The ground
will soon be broken for the new Ma
tional Library. The auction flags al.
ready float over the buildings on the
site, and it will be but few days be-
fore these are torn down and carried
away. The new National Library is
to be built of granite, and it win ac-
commodate 3,000,0 900 books. 1t will
be lighted by nearly a dozen courts
and there will be rotunda in its CEN
ter which will accommodate several
hundreds OF readers. 1t will be only a
half acre smaller than the capitol, and
will hence be one OF the largest build
ings in the United States. It will
be FIVE or six years before it can be
completed. Buildings oil it's size can
not be put up like a wigwam or an
Aladdin's palace, and the whole struc-
ture will be made perfectly fire proof,
and its architecture, which is OF the
Italian renaissance order, will be in
harmony with the capitol. After it is
finished it will take several years to
move the library into it, aud should
no extra force be employed the NOV
ing could not be done in less than a
decade. When the Berlin library was
moved the army was called in TO car
nv the books, and thousands of sold
iers did the work in short order. This
Berlin library is not much larger than
ours, and, indeed there are only five
libraries in the world which excel it in
size.

How the President is Guarded.

The Boston Traveller says OF the
Presidents body guard:
There never has been a president
whose every movement is so guar ded
and whose person is so well protected
as the present occupant of the White
House. The arrangements at the ex-
ecutive mansion have always been
nearly perfect, but for some reason or
other Mr.. Cleveland has taken pains
to improve them, and, OF course, his
own security as WELL Thousands of
strangers annually visit the White
House without ever being brought in
contact with the president, and one
OF the most rigid rules of theestablish-
ment is that no one shall be allowed
up stairs who is not upon business
connected with the executive branch
OF the government. Twice each week
the president comes down into the
east room and shakes hands with
the two hundred or three hundred
people who are always there to
greet him. Even then he is not I'M
attended. The big, pleasant-faced
gentleman who stands by his side is
one of the best detectives in the coun-
try. The slightest movement on the
part OF the throng neither escapes him
nor the dozen or more mild-looking
but strongly built men who are scat
tered through the crowd, fully as vigil
ant as he. At night there are guards
inside as well as outside of the build
ing. while the head OF the nation Is IN
dreamland. The force of watehmen
and detectives at the White House is
largely augmented by special details
from the police force of the city, and it
is safe to say that no person OF sus-
uicious character could get within a
block OF the mansion without being
called upon for an explanation OF his
character and purposes. The White
House is in telephone connection With
police headquarters as well as the bar
racks and the navy-yard. Ii it were
necessary probably 600 armed we'll
disciplined men could be massed in its
defense inside of an hour. With the
/ present arrangements President Cleye-
land friends need have no fear for
his personal safety so long as he re-
mains within the White House.
