THE STATE LIBRARY.
Libraria@ 3ouja..c Outlines ITS
Present Condition..

Wishing to investigate the state
tnent Of contemporary that the
State Library had received eXtraor-
binary accessions lately, an APPEAL
reporter visited the institution, where
he found Mr. Poujade az work. An
examination in the North room
showed that 1T least 0nc-th.rd ot the
practical working law text books on
The shelves have been purchased du-
ring the last three years.
The remainder of the law depart
ment has not deteriorated; numerous
incomplete sets and systems of re
ports, having been filed up, besides
keeping up the ordinary growth.
In the miscellaneous library prob
ably the greatest attention has been
given to the reference department,
the books of hich have been brought
together, and three hundred dollars
worth Of new books added. Next in
Importance are the additions to the
historical and biographical depart
ments, The scientific section has
received attention also, as well as
those devoted to travel, religion and
political economy.
In the departments of poetry. art
and fiction, the additions have not
been so great, but each of these has
received enough attention to make a
perceptlble growth. A small, well
selected medical reference depart-
ment has also been added.
When complimented on his success
Mr.. Poujade said:
81 found good library-the law
department in some respects unex-
celled by any. In miscellaneous
lines we had, and have, only foun-
dation. Those who IN the past per-
formed duty here did much excellonl
work. My immediate pre'"c"'~
gave me valuable assistance. Lac OF
apprc priations has prevented the reg
ular employment Of clerical aid,
This has been injurious. Blu. those
assistants whom | have temporarily
employed have given faithful and
Intelligent serTice.
The Secretary of State has aided
the library very materially; and other
State officers have shown their good
will when required. The Capitol
Commissioners allowed me to use
S135 from the Furniture and Repairs
Fund, This built d dust-proof and
mouse-proof room, and furnished it
with over one thousand linear feet of
shelving. This took from the floor
of an attic room large mass OF un-
assorted books which had been &C
cumulating there for many years. L
regret that lack of funds may pre-
vent the assortment and arrange
ment Of these, and a considerable
number of other books. But there
is a limit to the amount Of manual
labor that one man can do, and one
can be in only one place at time.
In the partial arrangements made
necessary by growth in the Library
proper, the janitors have helped
du.ing the occasional hours when
other duties didn't claim them. |
have also requested and obtained
valuable suggestions from friends.
Going? all right. Come again.

By the Cave

A traveller found at Richmond Castle a guide who was amusingly dependent on tradition and guide-book.
 "What is the height of this fine old keep9' asked the traveller.
 According to history, it's ninety nine feet" was the answer.
 The same reply was made to various other questions relating to the height and depth of the measurements, and finally the men reached part of the battlements where the hill on which the castle stands descends abruptly to the river
 "A pretty steep descent this,' re- marked the traveller
 "Yes, sir," was the reply. "Accord- to history, it's almost perpendicular" Youths Companion.

placed it on table at the foot of the chancel and directly under a window which had been erected to Payne's memory by English and American resi- dents and on which was inscribed;
 "'To the Memory of John Howard Payne, Author of Home, Sweet Home."'
 'This was just about sunset. The ceremony which took place was of simple nature. An English naval off, cer Ia captain) played the air of Home, Sweet Home on little American melodeon which stood there, and, after considerable urging, induced my wife to sing the words. This she at last consented to do, and, standing there in the beautiful twilight singing, helped to make one of the most pathetic scenes have ever witnessed. At first she sang in brave tones, but gradually, as she began to think how this little scene might some day become historic, her voice trembled and trembled- which only added pathos to the scene until there was not dry eye in the church. Arabs, foreigners and all were wiping away the tears; it was simply overwhelming.
 "There we left the body all night. The next day at noon we again assem- bled, when the coffin containing all that was left of Payne, was carried to the Marina, whence it was put aboard the French ship bound for Marseilles It was then transferred to ship coming direct to the United States, finally ar irving in America, where it was taken to Washington and buried.

 ''The people of Tupis, as l learned afterwards, felt aggrieved that even the old tombstone which had covered the grave for thirty odd years had been taken away to America This was done by mistake, Mr. Corcoran wrote me, and when he was informed of their feeling, he at once authorized me to have monument put up over the empty grave in Tunis. This I did, du- plicating the one in Washington ex- cept, instead of putting bust, as on the Washington monument, had lit tie group of symbols cut for the top, one ribbon on which were carved the first few notes of Home, Sweet Home, and the inscription from Mrs. May Riley Smiths poem 'Sometime0 Then be content, poor heart,' and the others lute and book"
 II suppose, MT. Warrington, you obtained considerable information re- garding Payne's life in Tunis?"
 "Yes, did; particularly from MT. Alfred Chappillie, the present United States vice consul in Tunis, he having been appointed to that office within the past three months. He knew Payne very well and was very kind to him. It was through Mir. Chappillie, largely, that Payne was enabled to-receive the assistance which made his last days comfortable, without Payne knowing that it was charity. He was proud; he fancied, and his friends led him to be- leve, that the money he was living on was his own, whereas, as matter of

ticularly remembered his connection with the removal of John Howard Payne's remains to this country from Tunis, at the instance of MT. Corcoran, of Washington. 1t was more than in teresting to hear MT. Warrington de- scribe this event, at which he was present He himself is we'll known as writer for the press in the vicinity of his family home at Cooperstown, N. r., and he contributes occasionally to the magazines besides. He chatted enter tainingly of Malta and his life there, and of the native Maltese and the for eign population.
 MT. Warrington said that one of the earliest and most interesting duties he had to perform as consul was to go to Tunis and exhume the body of John Howard Payne, the author of Home Sweet Home" This was on January B. 1883. Payne had been the American consul at Tunis, and died there in 1852 His body lay in St. Georges cemetery, in the heart of the town of Tunis, for thirty-two years, when MT. Corcoran, the Washington banker, ob- tained permission from the state de- partment to take it up and bring it to America. s-~'
 "When l arrived at Tunis, Mir. Worthington continued, ''it vas noon the exhumation was t5 take place about one o'clock. At the grave rfouna ,ssnnusioie1 Sir Thomas F.

 "There was nothing whatever left of the body except the skeleton, and in removing this skeleton from the grave to coffin, we had to put some of the earth in with it, as the coffin in which the body had been buried had crum- bled away, the earth and bones be- coming mixed.

 fact, his friends were helping him. He supposed it was money which had been saved for him out of his own income.
 Payne lived in fine large house in Tunis, which he had succeeded in get ting the bey to let him occupy in his capacity as servant of the United States. As he began to fail, he stayed in the house a great deal, sitting in large chair, we'll wrapped up, with a hot fire burning-this, too, in the hot eli mate to be found there-contenting himself with brandy and soda. He finally died of exhaustion from inabili- ty to eat or retain anything, and lived on brandy altogether during the last few days of his life.
 'I remember Mir. Chappillie's telling me once that Payns had described to him how he came to write Home, Sweet Home MT. Chappillie's version was this-that Payne said he was one day in Paris, walking in one of the streets, and sat down to rest. Suddenly he be- gan to feel sense of homesickness and fancied neglect. Not that he ever was neglected. That is a wrong idea, for Mir. Payne was never neg lected by his friends, and the prevail ing impression that Payne was an exile, or even considered himself one, think is incorrect. But this day, In Paris, when he was feeling lowspirited, there came the idea of this little ballad of his, and he unconsciously set it toan old Sicilian air, think 1t was, or some air he knew very well-he did not com pose the music, you know. It was aft 'erward embodied in his opera, 'Clari, the Maid of Milan
 After Payne's death his books and papers were left for years lying in corner in boxes and baskets, where they became mildewed and more or less useless through neglect, and MT. Chappillie told me that within the last few years they had disappeafed, no body knowing where they were to this day.
 Payne was very lovable, Chappillie said, his character being sweet one. He was very exacting, however, that his official status should be aSootnized4

THE PLEASURES OF BOARDING.

The great majority Of advocates of boarding
writes Edward ". Bots, ARE women. Men are
opposed to it. In their days of bachelorhood
they are given, for the most part, a taste of it,
and a bitter one at that. They know how
absolutely unsatisfactory it is, how hollow.
how much of a mockery it is, in comparison
with quiet home life. And when they
marry they gladly turn from it. Many
young bachelor leaving his boarding house
for the last time has uttered q fervent thanks
giving for his release. What change is it for
man, compelled to meet people all day long
in the business world, to come home and do
precisely the same thing at the table? Oh,
this maddeninS necessity of being compelled
to talk at 4 boarding-house table with people
with whom one has not a single interest in
commoni l think. for purely forced conversa-
ton. the average clearinghouse table talk is
absolutely the most pathetic and maddening
to which have ever listened. And then to
be looked to to indulge in it, or, still worse. to
listen to it when the mind is tired. the brain
worn out, or perhaps the heart is wounded.
wonder sometimes that our insane asylums
do not draw more largely from our boarding
houses than they do. As a rule, not n single
spirit is in sympathy with the other. Talk
is prevalent. because one must say something
or be adjudged unsociabe. One has not even
reserved to himself the right to be quiet
have Il great deal of sympathy with the
average man in boarding house, and do
not think the world at large appreciates suf-
lciently his misery.
