The JOY of the Book Lover.
From The Book Mart

From the Book Mart.
Hooked around the walls with eager eyes,
And many friends of dear old time behold;
Some decked in all the glories of fine gold,
And some in clothing beggars would despse:
Yet these, as worthiest of my love. prize
For when to me the whole world seemeth
cold.
Or down my cheeks the tears flow uncon-
trolled,
know that solace in their pages lies.
For not in books in full morocco bound
Calf extra, or pure yellum snowy white
Is sweetest consolation by me found
But rather in the ragged. dust-stained tones,
denominations to artistic sight,
That save on my poor shelves would ne'er find
homes.
l ope book at hazard, as / stand
With raptured gaze be tide my crowded rows
And such the charm its genius DER me throws
That soon my little book room doth expand
Into illimitable space, where banned
Is every vestige of LIES cares and woes:
The sun of happiness upon me CLOVIS
As peruse the volume in nay hand.
And thus it often is: my soul is borne,
On Fancy's wings, to realms of Love and
Light,
Where perfect peace holds it in glad repose;
And, ere the leaves unconsciously close,
Again learn that cen to those who mourn,
The darkest dreariest days may seem most
bright.

Reminders Approaching Fate.

William Kemmler, who is in prison at
Auburn, N. Y, was convicted of muir
der on May ii last, and was sentenced to be
executed by electricity. His case has been
the rounds of all the courts, and the gov
ernor has refused to pardon him. Next
week his sentence, it is expected, will be
carried into effect. The electrical machine
is in readiness, and will be operated by Mr..
Harald Brown, an electrical expert. He
has made several tests upon dumb animals,
and in each instance death was produced
instantaneously. He has no doubt that
Kemmler will not suffer the least pair
The death-dealing machine consists of a
Westinghouse dynamo and an ingeniously
constructed apparatus for passing the cleo
trical current through the victims body.
The apparatus is made up of pair of heavy
brogan shoes with metal plates in the soles,
and close-ftting cap for the head, in the
center of which there is a small metal plate.
Wires, which pass out through the heels of
the Shoes are attached to the metal plates
| in the soles, and copper wire, spiral in
shape and fitting the head, is inside of the
| cap, and is attached to the metal plate in the
cap. The wire attached to the metal in the
soles of the shoes and the wire in the cap are
| connected with the dynamo
When the time arrives for Kemmler's
execution he will be placed in chair that
| is somewhat like BARRIERS chair, and his
! legs, arms and body will be fastened to it.
| The cap and shoes will be put on him and
| connected with the dynamo. He will then
be.ready for the death dealing current.
When the current is turned on the only
perceptible effect will be, says the expert
"a little stiffening of the body and little
| quivering of the limbs" Life will fiutter
for bare second, and then Kemmler will
have ceased to be among the living.

Break Up the Procession.

While the ice company's parade moved up
the avenue, says the Washington Post, headed
by brass band two Ohio men, who think the
country yearns for their services, but who, UP
to the present time have been unable to i'm
press the administration with a sense of their
real worth, stood on the corner and watched
the wagons go by.
Now, where do you suppose they are going:'
asked the first Ohioan, as the band turned up
Fifteenth street, making the air ring with the
strains of that good old hymn, From Green
lands Icy Mountains
Don't know" responded his companion.
unless they are going up to be reviewed by
the President
We'll, it's pretty chilly lay out, but if the
President has retained the manner he had on
hand the last time I called, it will break up the
procession"
And the unhappy Buckeye republican cast a
sympathetic glance in the direction of the
moving ice WAGONS.

Cardinal Gibbons is very we'll pleased
with the opinions expressed by Pope Leo in
the interview with him published in the
MORNING NEWS and other newspapers last
Sunday. To a philadelphia Times cores
pendent on Monday he said: ~ am delighted
with the sentiments ascribed to the sovereign
pontiff. They ar. eminently worthy of a
pope who is so discerning and who has his
finger on the pulse Of the people. They
prove to all that the pope is not a fossil,
but that he has his eye upon the world aud
that his heart beats with sympathy for its
legitimate wants and aspirations Leo
KILL shows conclusively the deep in
terest which he takes not only in the
religious and moral, but also in the social
and economic, questions of the day, and
that he is anxious to cooperate with all
good men of every creed and to avail him
self in every proper way of the colossal
power of the press in tightening the burden
and eleyating the condition of suffering
humanity"

Senator Eiscock's Banking Scheme.
The Junior senator from New York, Mr..
Hiscock, has introduced bill into the Sen
ate to provide the country with an abund-
ance Of money. He is a member of the Sen
ate finance committee, and ought TO know
s0met ing about financial matters 1t is
doubtful. however, if bankers, after reading
the bill, will give him credit for much
knowledge of that kind. Already the sus-
picion has been suggested that his bill is an
effort to outbid Senator Stanford for the
presidential nomination OF his party.
Stanfords bill, it will be remembered, pro
vides for lending tC the farmers money from
the treasury at per cent. interest
Senator Hiscock's bill permits national
banks TO issue national bank notes against
deposits of government, state, railway and
municipal bonds to the amount of 90 per
cent. of their face value; also on storage
warrants and warehouse receipts for pig
iron, cotton and wheat to the amount
of IS per cent. of their market
value-it being provided that the warrants
and receipts shall be assigned to the trees
ury; also on first mortgages on real estate
to the amount of so per GER. of their value
also on gold and silver bullion at their coin
value.
Mr.. Hiscock's bill further provides that
the national bank notes issued on the fore
going articles shall be full legal tender for
all public and private debts, and in case
any of the banks get into trouble the gov
eminent shall be preferred creditor.
1t will be seen thai Mr. Hiscock's scheme
is long way ahead of the sub-treasury plan
OF the farmers alliance or of any other
plan yet suggested for making money plen-
tiful and cheap. Bankers, probably, will
call is a wild cat scheme There is no doubt,
however, that the government has authority
to make anything it pleases legal tender.
The supreme court said as much in the cele-
brated greenback decision.
If Mr.. Hiscock's bill should become a
law, and there should be silver legislation
IN harmony with the views OF the silver
men, there would be plenty of money GER
tainly in circulation. but would it be easier
TO get richa Would the laboring man be
able to live just as well on less work, or to
live better with the same amount of work q
Would the country be more prosperouss
Perhaps Mr.. Hlscock will answer these ques-
tions when his bill comes before the Senate,
If it ever does come before it.

He Is Superstitious.

1t is strange fact, says the Chicago Herald,
that the average newspaper man is supersti
tious to degree. Why this should be so no
one knows. One of the craft, VINO looks to be
healthy enough, was around town on his work
the other day, and he ran across Frank Hill.
Chicago's coffin king, who was at one time at
the head of the Inflated Thirteen Club. In the
course of chat with a few mutual friends the
scribe ventured the opinion that he would not
live long. Every one laughed at such an hall1.
cination on his part, and trie to cheer him up.
Finally Mr.. Hill came to the rescue and took a
hand in the discussion. He regarded the matter
from business point Of view. Don't die 50
soon my boy" he urged. You just wait until
our new spring style of casket comes out, and
then III give you daisy at first cost" Here
upon the scribe gave up the idea of dying and
concluded to live. He did not want business
matter made of it.

Postmaster General Wanamaker has for
warded to the House committee on post
offices and post roads his objections to the
bill providing that eight consecutive hours
of labor shall constitute a days work for
clerks and employees in all first. second and
third class postofices, and that clerks ID
employees shall be paid for overtime. He
claims that the bill would cost the govern
ment 81, 1872, 40 He thinks that the eight
hour regulation is impracticable in post
Offices, and says that twelve hours is about
the right length of time. He has taken the
advice Of several leading postmasters in the
country, and bases his report largely upon
what they think. He suggests that in case
the government adopts the eight-hour regu-
lation some provision be made to credit the
government In cases where clerks and en-
ployes do not work eight hours.
