brarfan Stevenson and His ColIea gues in
Search of Informn tion-The Programme.
Librarian Stevenson, of the Allegheny
Library, accompanied by the sub Commit
tee on Library of the standing committee of
Councils on Public Library, will leave for
Boston this morning at 8 o'clock over the
Pennsylvania Railroad, for the purpose Of
inspecting Eastern libraries. It had been
intended to leave this evening, but Chair
man Dahlinger, who will officiate as
courier" stated last evening that the start
would be made Sunday morning in order to
have the whole of Monday in Boston.
Those who comprise the party are Messrs.
Charles w. Dahlinger, William M. Steven
son, George j. Lappe. A. @. Groetzinger and
Adam Ammon. Mr.. Edwin Lsre is a mem-
Der of the subcommittee, but found him.
self unable to devote so much time to the
trip and Mr.. Adam Ammon goes in his
stead. Mr.. Arthur Kennedy, chairman Of
the subcommittee, is already in the east and
telegraphed Mr.. Dahlinger that he would
meet the party in Boston.
So far as at present known the programme
of the trip is as follows: On Monday and
Tuesday the large public library Of
Boston will be thoroughly inspected.
Several of the party have personal letters
from mutual friends to Librarian Green,
who receives $4,000 q year for what he
knows. It is expected that much profitable
information in regard to the cataloguing
and handling of books will be derived in
the Boston Free Library, now esteemed as
being the best in the country. The COM
mittee will return to New York on Tues
day night, and put in Wednesday at the
Astor Library. Thursday will be spent nc the
Brooklyn Free Library and Academy Of
Sciences building. On Friday morning the
party will sally forth in Baltimore to in
spect the Enoch Pratt Free Library, Of
which Mr.. Carnegie has such high opinion.
Mr.. Dahlinger favors squeezing in
flying trip to Washington, in order to secure
the benefit of the ripe judgment and long
experience Of Librarian Spoford, of the
Congressional Library. Mr.. Stevenson looks
upon Mr.. Spoford as literary oracle and
says that he expects to secure very valuable
information from him. The trip will be
rushed through as fast as is compatible with
the objects to be attained, and no time will
be consumed in useless expeditions. 1t is
hoped to return by next Saturday evening.

\ Remarkable Dream.

y happy octoGenarlan, ready to de-
part in peace, very recently related to
the writer the following experience
When a young man he was examining,
with intense interest, the evidences of
the inspiration of the Bible. This led
him to a careful reading of infidel obiec-
tions, some of which greatly troubled
him; and retiring one night, after wake
full hours of anxious thought, he fell
asleep. He dreamed that he was al sea
in storm, the pillows about to engulf
the ship, on the deck of which were
stored all the Bibles accessible to him.
And suddenly came a mighty wave.
which, with the boom it swept across
that deck, bore from it every sacred vol
ume into the wild waves. The shock of
the disaster awakened him in a perspira-
ton from his agonizing agitation over
the loss forever of the living oracles, to
see the very Bible he had read a few
hours before lying upon the table near,
rejecting brightly the light of the UNI
clouded moon. His grateful surprise
brought to his relief a food of tears.
While having no superstitous regard for
dreams, he said, "From that experience
l have no unrest or passing doubt of the
divine authority of the holy Bible" 1t
was certainly an impressive illustration
of what we all have had-clear and deep
impressions made in "dreams and visions
of the night. "-Congregationalist.
