ment, pains should be taken that the library
itself shall in time surpass all others in
the completeness Of its collection and the
perfection of the arrangement of the same
This, of course, is not accomplished in a
year or two, but the beginning has been
made, and the most desirable results are
within reach if the support OF the institu-
ton is liberal and its management is judi
cious. AS 10 the latter, it is in safe hands
as long as Mr.. Spofford remains in charge:
as regards the former, that is matter
which falls within the province of the
powers and privileges of Congress.
Withlberality much can be accomplished.
There are books and manuscripts of course
in some of the great Libraries of the world
which cannot be duplicated and which no
amount of money could purchase. On the
other hand, however, many exceedingly
valuable works can be obtained by judi
cious and generous outlay. In this way the
great libraries of London, Paris, Vienna,
Bologna and other cities of Europe have
completed their collections, and they are
constantly on the lookout for rare works
which they do not already possess. 1t will
be the course of wisdom for our library to
profit BY these examples.
Above all things, however, the library
should be nationalized. The people should
be made to feel that they have Il share in
it, and national pride must be aroused in
its behalf. 1t should be kept in touch with
State and municipal libraries, and in a
way be the central orb from which all
others should receive inspiration and light
One step in the direction of arousing a
more general interest would be 10 change
the name from Congressional Library to
National Library. The former appellalion
is too restricted. Let the people familiar
ize themselves with the idea thatthcy have
a national library, access to and use of
which should be made possible without the
aid and assistance of Congressman, as is
now the case. Perhaps it may require an
act of Congress to do all this; if so, AXE
Congress pass it, and give US in name as

This was owing to the condition OF The

holding over 10000 gallons. They have
been leaking BADLY for years, and as no
attention has been paid to the leakages
they have been increasing rapidly. Now,
experts say, there is great danger OF The

reservoirs and descending upon the city.
The wall is only eight or ten feet

The business of the departmental usurer

aware of. Many a home is in need of

This is no fancy picture of the imagina-

Many of these usurers do not lend out
the money themselves, and thus they save
appearances. They are in league with
some outside shark. and if feiiow-clcrk

express much regret au their inability 10
accommodate him. but they know a man
who might do it, and would be glad TO give
the needy friend a note. etc, etc. The

are the same. II is high time che whole
