Afraid of RESTRICTED Emigration.

The United States consul at Gothenburg,
Sweden, has informed the Department of State
that emigration from Scandinavia TO the United
States has set in unusually early this year, and
the number of emigrants is rapidly increasing,
which fact the consul attributes to fear that
Congress will pass an act restricting immigra.
tiOn, lie says that emigration agents estimate
that larger number of emigrants than ever
recorded In any previous year will leave Sean

DISTRIBUTION OF BOOKS.
4 Circular of Interest to the Libraries
of the Country.


a circular has been issued by the Sccre-
tary of the Interior In regard to the distri-
hutton Of the publications Of the geological
survey, which will be of interest to the
libraries of the country . A joint resolution
of Mar 3, 1857, provides for the distribu-
tiOn from the special memoirs and reports
of the survey now authorized by law OF
one copy of every such publication to public
libraries designated by the Secretary Of the
Interior on the recommendation Of congress
men, each senator, representative, and
delegate IN Congress being entitled TO name
two libraries. The resolution also pro
vidcd that such public libraries
should he in addition to those
receiving these publications under existing
law. Tie memoirs and reports referred to
relate chiefly to general and economic
geology aud palcOntology, and embrace
papers Of great and permanent value. There
are now ready for distribution eleven
quaro and four octave volumes. bound,
three aliases, and forty pamphlets. The
librarians who are in charge of public libra
ries not receiving those publications under
existing law, should make early applica
tion to the senators for their states or rep.
resentatives in their congressional districts
II will lie necessary that librarians should
make application rs here suggested, and not
TO the geological survey, because the
geological survey Is forbidden by law to
distribute these publications, except through
sale or scientific exchange.

The intelligent public can now see what
II requires to run the emancipation celebra-
tion with street parade, not speaking of the
occasional loss of limbs and other accidents
&c., which tend to impede the colored
people. In lieu of street parade, the com
mittee and these who are opposed to street
parade have arranged to celebrate the
twenty-sixth anniversary in church, and
have selected one of the most eminent
speakers of the race, Hon. j. NJ. Langston,
to deliver the Grafton. This does not pre-
clude others from doing likewise; the more
the merrier. The proceeds, or the net
amount that will be realized, will he donated
to the Colored Orphans Home, which is con
Quoted by worthy colorcd and white ladies.
The expenses of this general meeting held
under the auspices Of this committee, will
amount to about 800. 1t will not only
be a benefit but a saving to the
colored people. Majs. Fleetwood, Fisher
and Col. +. G. Rcvclls, who are managing
the district militia, have the privilege to
give dress parade on the 10th. They
will be under no expense, and 1t will be
more of credit to the coored people to
witness the progress of the militia than it
would be to eXpcnd over 5000 in hats,
sasles, horses, carriages, whisky, &c.

THE WATER MILL:

Oh, listen to the watermill, through all the
livelong day,
As the clicking of the wheel wears hour by hour
away.
How languidly the autumn wind doth stir the
withered leaves,
As on the field the reapers sing while binding
up the sheaves.
A solemn proverb strikes my mind, and, as
spell, is cast,
that is past"
Soft summer winds revive no more leaves
strewn DER earth and main,
The sickle never more will reap the yellow
garnered grain.
The ripping stream flows ever on, ate, tran
quill, deep and still
But never glideth back again to busy water
mill
The solemn proverb speaks to all with mean
ing deep and vast,
"The mill will never grind again with water
that is past"
Oh, clasp the proverb to thy soul, dear loving
For golden hours are heeting by and youth is
passing, too.
All learn to make the most of life, nor lose one
happy day;
For time will ne'er return sweet joys, neglected
thrown away;
Nor leave one tender word unsaid-thy kind
ness SOW broadcast;
''The mill will never grind again with water
that ispast."
Oh, the wasted hours Of life that have swiftly
drifled by;
Alas, the good we might have done. all gone
without a sigh.
Love that we might once have saved by single
kindly word
Thoughts conceived but ne'er expressed, per-
ished, unpenned, unhesrd.
Oh, take the lesson to thy soul, forever clasp it
fast,
''The mill will never grind again with water
that is past
Work on while yet the sun doth shine, thou
man of strength and will;
The streamlet ne'er doth useless glide by click
ing watermill;
Nor wait until to-morrow's light beams bright
ly on thy way,
For all that thou can'st call thine own lies in
the phrase 'to-day."
Possessions, power and blooming health must
all be lost at last,
''The mill will never grind again with water
that is past"
Oh! love thy God and fellow -man-this com
prehendeth all
High Heavens universal plan, here let US pros
trate fall;
The wise, the ignorant may read this simple
lesson taught,
All mystery or abtruse creed compared there
with are naught.
On! brothers, on! in deeds of love. for life is
feeting fast,
''The mill will never grind again with water
that is past"

The Army, the Navy and the Repre-.
scntatiOns.

Mr.. Charles H. J. Taylor, ex-Minister
to the Republic of Liberia, put the value
of the private property in that country
Mt $1,000 600, or 81 per capita. The
"nation" has bonded Indebtedness of
81 10000 and over $7,OOO,OOO has
been sent to it by benevolent persons in
this country and England. There are
about as many Cabinet Minister'S es in
the United States. There are only four
post offices in the country. The navy
consists of two gunboats, presented by
the English Government, which are rot
ting on the sand Some time ago the
President of the United States recon-
mended to Congress the giving to the
infant republic of two old war vessels,
but the offer was rejected unless crews
and provisions for ten years were prOvid-
ed. The army consists of one regiment,
numbering All men, of whom 1893 are
officers and 80 privatcs. The Presidents
body guard numbers 10, OF whom IL are
officers. In some Of the counties there
are not enough citizens TO hold the
offices, but in the others there are just
about enough to go round,
/ Glass distinctions prevail to the ex-
tent they did in the Southern States
during slavery times. The citizens
domineer over the savages and often use
them cruelty. Their boys make the
young savnges carry them on their backs
TO school and do all kinds of work for
them. Candidates for admission to the
Bar are required to read the first chap
ther of Johns gospel and to spell the
columns of words in Webster's spelling
book as far as publication. They must
also read the laws passed by the last
session Of Congress. The Legislative
Assembly consists of two branches, the
Upper House having eight members
and the Lower House thirteen. The
annual session generally lasts two
weeks, and the laws enacted fill about
three pages,
