Tattered Volumes.

Burton, in his "Book Hunter" gives
an amusing account of De Quincey's
famous collection of books. 'Some legend
there is of book creditor having forced
his way into the Cacus den, and there
seen a sort of rubble inner wall of vol
umes, with their edges outward; while
others, bound and unbound, the plebeian
sheepskin and the aristrocratic russian,
were squeezed into certain tubs drawn
from the washing establishment OF con-
fiding landlady."
The famous reviewer jeffrey treated
with disdain the book binders delicate
art. Books were merely meant to be
read, he contended, and he was quite
satisfied so long as the words were visi-
bic. Lord Cockburn laments the fact
that Jeffrey's library was, ''for a lover of
books. and for one who had picked up a
few, most wretched, and so i'll cared for
that the want even of few volumes never
disturbed him."
Carlyle. in his "reminiscences, de-
scribes the study OF his brilliant country
man as "a roomy, not overneat apartment
on the ground floor, with big baize-cov
cred table loaded with book rows and
paper bundles. On one. or perhaps two.
of the tables were book shelves, likewise
we'll filled, but with books in tattery, ILL
bound, or unbound condition. ."-Chamb-

Sci Pirata Drake,

The exact definition of piracy" is a
matter OF some delicacy to the English
historian, these being matters which it is
difficult to regard trom cosmopolitan
point of view. The Spanish historian
Mariana naturally speaks of Elizabeth's
great Admiral as ''el pirata Drake"
Sir Walter Raleign's is, of course, the
most interesting case, the practical decis-
ion of which turned on sudden 'eXi-
gency" of foreign politics. as is ex planned
very clearly in two of James Howell's S
immortal letters. King James, who
would, perhaps, have appeared as a
sleeping partner in the gold-mine venture
had it been successful, (James Howell re-
garded it as an altogether airy and sup
posittiOus mine." who would not
promise mines, nay, mountains of gold,
for liberty?'') betrayed his plans for the
descent upon the island of st. Thomas to
the Spanish Governor of the island, in
whose cabinet the document, communi-
Gated by Raleigh to the King in the strict
est confidence, was afterward found.
Howell is convinced that the royal
patent should have protected him. But
the influence of the Spanish En- bassador
was very strong, and there was more
than an overture at that time Of Spanish
match" Gondomar deter of March 2S,
1919, ''speaks high language" asked an
audience of James, saying he had but
one word to say, and, entering the royal
presence in towering passion. she said
only Pirates! Pirates! Piratesr and so
departed" II believe he will never give
him (Raleigh) over till he hath his head
of mis- shoulders" Raleigh was executed
October 20, 1918. 1t was funny, the same
author observes, 'that the same man
should be condemned for being friend
to the Spaniards, and lose his head, under
the same sentence, for being their ene-

February appears to have stolen a
march on its neighbor.
Three days ago the streets were ankle
deep with mud, and now they are becom-
ing annOyingly dusty.

the track on Tenth street, between n and

ADJUSTMENTS

There was very large audience last
night at the Clunie Opera-house to wit
ness the comedy drama, 1.-The Plunger."
1t is so well played and mounted that it
is no wonder that it draws. Mr.. Arm
strong, the new leading man, is a resur-
rectionist; he has resurrected song from
the grave of the dead past that used to be
the delight of lovesick swains, senti-
mental misses and serenading youths. 1t
is good ola love song-One of the kind
that III the old times used to have COM
mendation because of its sterling merit.
1t is just as sweet to-day as in the
long ago, and few modern senti-
mental songs have more of rich
melody. though it is of an order
very different from that the taste of the
present calls for. Mr.. Armstrong has
dragged up this old love song, and while
he preserves in the main the tune as it
was originally written, he has put in
scOllOps and furbelows and touched here
and there with a sort of counter tenor
variation and suggestion of Swiss and
then he sings it about as slow again as
in the heyday of its youth it was sung.
Nevertheless "Roll on Silver Moon" he
makes charming surprise TO those who
never heard 1t and delight to Its old
| friends. He is as capital balladist as he
is versatile actor. It's not at all sur
prising that between Mr.. Armstrong;
promise in his song Never More to
Stray" and Mr.. Waldron's makeup and
his adventure with chair, that the audi
ences are large at the Clunie. The

quite out of the common and well worth
hearing. The ladies are meeting with
every success in making the arrange
ments for the entertainment. The spirit
manifest evidences reawakening Of inter-
est and pride in the Art Gallery and in
the promotion of the School of Design.
Both are Sacramento public institutions
that rebound to the credit of Sacramento
greatly. The latter deserves more atten-
ton than it receives from our own people;
