The uptown movement which has been So
marked in many ways for u number of years has
proved so strong that clubs, churches and other
Institutions, not &c mention shops, have been I'M
able 10 resist it. The Mercantile Library Is Il
notable exception, its new building on the ola
site in Astor Place being nearly completed. Inc
Eew-York Historical Society has reputation for
conservatism, but it is likely TO move toward
the Park in short time. It's present building
is too small and the movement to provide new
one has been in progress some time. The sum OF
$3.50, 900 is ready to erect a new building for
the society. and a committee is busily engaged IN
looking for a site several miles further north
than the present building in Secondave.

Governor Hill las, year proposed reform in
election contests by sending them to the courts
for decision. In practice however when it
comes to reform. he is found TO favor n reversiOn
to the Anticipated method of having testimony
taken before Mayor or Recorder. The Com
mlttce on Elections then reads this testimony
and without giving the man whose scat is con-
tested any opportunity to be heard, awards the
scat to the contestant. That is, at least the
course taken in the case OF Mr.. Dunlap, of Mont
con,ery County. II is extremely characteristic
OF Governor Hill and the present era Of peanut
politics.

Our numerous Republican friends in New

Partisan measures rule the day, and whatever
the party bosses agree shall be done is done
forthwith by the Democrats in the Senate and
Assembly. The Republicans in the Legislature
arc absolutely powerless; at least they can do no
more than protest and vote against the measure

petuate their power. Governor Abbett's am
bition is we'll known, but he is in danger of
OVERRIDING the matter before the time for elect

that some property owners have secured in

spccton Of the library school direct attention to
the new department Of library science. which IS
growth of the last few years. The art OF
cataloguing book, and caring for them received
spccial attention from Mr.. Melyil Dewey while
he was connected with Columbia College. and
when he became State Librarian he transferred
to Albany the school Of library science which
he had established in this city. This work fur
nishes admirable opportunities for young women
of intelligence who desire. for whatever reason, to
have an income Of their own and who find other
avenues of employment crowded. 1t is agree

The St. Louis GiOJe- Democrat tells
about cranky invention of a Western
man who thought that horses are
worked too hard. 1t was carriage
that ran on four very high wheels,
The driver sat in front and the passen-
gers on each side. like those on an
Irish jaunting ear. The horse was
underneath the affair and wiggled
along with only his head sticking out
like a turtles The beauty Of the ar
rangcment was four-fOOt bcllY-Daud
that went underneath the horse, and
when the concern started down hill
the driver turned crank and lifted
the horse of the ground, and the
whole business. horse and all, rolled
on together till n level road was reach
ed, when the crank was again turned.
the horse lowered till his feet reached
the ground. when business was re-
sumcd in the old way. The advantage
Of the invention was that it enabled
the horse to ride down hill; the disai.
vantage was that it could not forcsee
aud follow the win dings Of n road.
There is no knowing how much might
come of il. though had il not hap
peued that the machine ran OF the
track one day when going down g
winding hill, ran into the gulch, killed
the horse, smashed the whole con
triyance TO pieces, and hurt the mar
so badly that when he got well he de
clined TO undertake the construction o
another.

Henry Ward Beecher's Bible.

On the table of 4 friend | saw re-
Gently copy of the Bible which once
belonged to Henry Ward Beecher and
lay on the desk IN the great preachers
study, says a writer in the \. \. Press.
1t is a small volume. and from the in-
scrlption had been presented to him by
a friend. There are two silken book
marks run through the leaves, and on
the pages they separate are two small
ueucil marks around two passages OF
Scripture. Nowhere else in the book
are there any pencil marks about pas
sages, and these two verses seem to
have had some special attention from
the eminent divine. The first is the be-
ginning of the Thirty-secoud Psalm, as
follows:
Blessed is he whose transgression
is forgiven, whose sin is covered
The other is the eighth verse of the
thirtieth chapter of Jeremiah, aud
reads
For it shall come to pass in that
day, saith the Lord of Hosts. that |
will break this yoke from off thy neck
and will burst thy bonds. and strangers
shall no more serve themselves OF
him.

him smacking kiss.

mustn't"
But she put her warm arm round his
neck, and rested her cheek against his
shoulder.
Il should like to have pretty dresses
and gold bracelets and things, and to go
away from William Jones and to stay

my dear" said Brinkley, laughing,
"you couldn't. 1t wouldn't be proper"
"Why nOty" asked Matt, simply.
"The world is censorious, little one. l
am young man; you are young lady.
We shall have to shake hands soon and
say goodbye. There, there" he contin-
ued, seeing her eyes fill with tears, "I'm
not gone yet. shall stay as long as l
can, only-really--you must look upon
me as quite an old fellow. am awful
ly old, you know, compared to you"
He gently disengaged himself, and
Matt sat down OH a camp-stool close
by. Her face had grown very wistful
and sad.
Matt" he said, anxious TO change the
subject, "tell me something more about
William Jones"
81 hate William Jones. hate every
body-but you."
Really"
"Yes, l do"
@Well, feel greatly nattered. But
about the gentle Jones! You say he
was out all last night"
Matt nodded.
"IIe goes out nigh every night" she
said, "and often don't come home till
morning. Sometimes he finds things
and brings 'em. lie finds bits o. gold
and old ropes, and bottles o. rum"
Very odd. Wherey
-IIe don't tell. Iknow."
Il wish you'd tell me, Matt. Do.
have particular reason for wanting
the information"
Matt hesitated.
"You won't say told? William Jones
would be downright wild, he would"
"Ill keep the secret faithfully. Nowy'
Thus urged Matt informed her friend
that on two occasions, out of curiosity
she had followed her guardian on his
nightly pilgrimages, and watched hin
go in the direction Of the Devils Cal
dron. On both occasions the night wa!
very dark. On getting clear OF th'
coast-guard station, and among tn,
sand-hills, Jones had lighted Lantern
which he carried. Trembling and afraid
she had followed the light along tn,
cliffs, then out among the sand-hills
But al at once the light and it's bearer
had disappeared into the solid earth
leaving her to find her way home in ter
ror.
The explanation of all this was, il
Matt's opinion, very simple. William
Jones was a bad man, and went to ~visi
the fairies"
"Yes," she cried, @and every time h
goes, the fairies give him summat, ant
he brings it home" -
