THE DISTRICT LIBRARY.
An Effort to Increase IL and Perfect Its
Character.

The Commissioners have under considers
ton the advisability Of issuing the following
letter relative to the strengthening of the IL
brary. This letter was framed by the libra
rian, Mr.. Lanman:
AN effort is being made by the Commission
srs of the District of Columbia for increasing
the size and perfecting the character Of the city
library of the national metropolis. Located as
il is at the seat Of the general government in
which all the people Of the land have q direct
interest, it is proposed to give 1t the distinct
i've character Of q municipal library, and to
have in its keeping all the local publications of
an Official character connected with the 500
cities in the United States. Many of the leading
corporations have already made liberal contri-
buttons in the way of messages, local laws and
ordinances, and reports on all sorts Of munich
pal methods, so that the present titles in the
library number not less than 1000, including
manuscript records; but an appeal is hereby
made to all those officials who may receive this
circular. Pamphlets as well as bound volumes
viii be thankfully received, which may be sent
by mail, free Of postage, directed to the Com
missioners Of the District Of Columbia. when
their receipt will be promptly acknowledged
Among the considerations which have
prompted this appeal are the following: LIST.
The metropolis Of the United States is the
most suitable place in all the land for an en-
tirely comprehensive library Of the character
proposed. I'd. When in q perfected state 1t
might be visited and consulted with pleasure
and profit by visiting citizens from every part
Of the land. Sd. As the books and pamphlets
do not come under the copyright laws, and not
systematically collected in the national
library, this city library would naturally be
frequently utilized by our Senators and Repre-.
sentatives, when discussing the needs of the
various sections of the country. By order of
the Commissioners of the District of Column

A Kindly Warming.

FROM tne 1ouths Companion.
A diffident young man, who CHANGED to be
already engaged to be married, taught his first
term of school in a western rural district some
years ago and. in accordance with the rural
custom, he did a great deal of visiting
around"
He spent one night at the house of an old
farmer who had daughter famous, not for
her beauty. but for her lack of it, To enumer-
ate her peculiaritles of face and figure would
be to give a catalogue of imperfections Those
who regard bulk mark of beauty. who
think head of red hair. cut short and parted
at the side. Is an attraction in young lady,
would have been charmed with Becky Ann"
When our somewhat fastidious young teacher
was introduced to this paragon, her uncomeli-
ness was increased by the fact that she was
barefooted and wore an inharmonious gown of
green and yellow calico.
Naturally enough his amazed gaze was fixed
often on Miss Becky Ann during the evening.
When he retired to his room for the night. he
was followed by her father, who almost stupi-
fed him by saying. with perfect gravity:
Look here. I'm goin to tell you something.
RELY think you'd orter know, ez it may save
you from raisin' any false hopes to have 'em
dashed to the ground. seen yer castin' sleeps
eyes at my Becky Ann all the evenin', an it's
my bounden dooty to tell We that she's spoke
for by Jarvis Sipes. Sorry for We, young man,
but Jarvis hez got ahead Of you this time"

POLICE.
There resides in thickly-populated section
Of the city man who will call in vain for
police" If he should ever have occasion to CRY
for help. Up to one night last week he was on
the best possible terms with the blue-coated
guardians of the peace. but now their friend
ship is thing Of the past. For some months
the E-street man, who bears the title of ''colo-
mel" has been in the habit of allowing officers
to step into his private room and there indulge
In little lunch. The custom grew and the
number OF beneficiaries multiplied and waxed
TAT. Then the colonel got tired of furnishing
free lunches. and in place of the customary
daintles he put in the closet a large and unsub-
stantial piece of imburger cheese. Then the
colonel waited for the first policeman to come
along. While he was waiting friend called,
and as soon as he entered he made some re-
mark about
THE sIcKLY CONDITION OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
The cheese meanwhile was working hard;
it rolled over several times and breathed Wig
orously. The visitor hazarded guess as to
the cause of the fptidity, and was solemnly
requested by the colonel To say nothing about 1t.
Two nights ago." explained the colonel.
looking mysterious, "a man came in here and
endeavored to assassinate me on account OF an
old grudge; he failed, and"-here he shud-
dered-'I killed him. He is now in that closet,
and although keep a big chunk of ice on bis
head nearly all the time, he won't keep until
can get him out of the house."
Then followed proposition from the colonel
to his friend to assist him in Kidding the house
Of the CHASTITY remains, but the friend was too
timorous. He promised, however, to say
nothing about it and then he went away.
POLICEMAN AT THE DOOR.
Five minutes later one of the officers came
along and he made good deal more noise in
entering than was his custom. The door was
closed locked-and the policeman kicked at it
very vigorously. The colonel responded in
accents of fear, and after much furniture NOV
ing and mysterious shutting of feet he timidly
opened the door. The corpse-seeking officer
rushed in and commenced an eager search in
which he was feebly retarded by the guilty
colonel.
Finally the closet was opened and there on
the shelf where sandwiches and sausage and
other delicacies had so often reposed while
waiting to be devoured lay that piece of
cheese. big as No. 8 Derby hat and as odorific
as 2OO-horse-power soap factory.
The coloners house is lonely now. and the
police walk by it with tiptilted nostrils. while
the coloners lunch is undisturbed save by the
colonel himself

A Twenty-E Eight Story Building.

Minneapolis Special to the New York Herald.
The twenty-eight story building scheme
which was so laughed at in the east when the
architect, L. 8. Bufinton first made it public. ID
expected to materialize in this city during the
present year. Financial backing has been So
cured and an Office opened where plans are ex-
hibited, which show the outline of 72S rooms,
each of which opens from the interior court and
has a window on the outside. The plans are
drawn for a building so feet square on the
level of the sidewalk, and tapering a little
toward the top. The court within is to be 40
feet square, in the center of which sixteen pas
senger elevators will be run. The total floor
area is $4,000 square feet.
Mr.. Yardell, who is exhibiting the plans, has
no doubt of success. The tower of the New
York produce exchange" he said sis 24O feet
above the sidewalk and the elevator runs to
within fifteen feet of the top. That is but fifty
five feet square. The Washington monument is
fifty-five feet square at the base and $40 feet
high. Then why could we not erect building
such as we propose? 1t will be made of iron,
being skeleton of lattice. riveted iron-work.
and its weight will be but one fifth of that of a
a stone or brick building of the same dimen-
sions. 1t will be perfectly fre-proof and will
cost about 81 900 900. II can be built at the
rate of forty feet per week upward"
