THE LIBRARY.

That this city has for years been without a circulating library of any kind, is a fact which has been more damaging, perhaps, to our intellectual pretensions at home and reputation abroad, than almost any other that could be brought up against us. There can hardly be an intelligent citizen with the least spark of local pride but has at some time or another felt his face flush with shame and mortification at being compelled to answer a stranger whose good opinion of the town he craved, that in it there was not a single library accessible to the public. It has been a reproach against us for which there was no palliation or excuse a disgraceful fact which was always interpreted to our disadvantage und which worked to our injury in a hundred waj's. That it could have existed so long as it has will always be a matter of astonishment, and to none more so than those who have in the past, been most careless regarding it Attempts have been made, time after time, to awaken a public, and general interest, in tho matter, and to contrive some feasible plan of starting and main taining such an enterprise. But pablic spirit in this direction has invariably seemed confined to young men of limited means, small incomes, and little in fluenco outside of their own circles of impecunious friends. Those doubting Thomases, the "solid men," wise and solemn frauds that they are, shrugging their shoulders, looked coldly down from the serene hights of their own greatness and calmly "waited to see whether the thing was going to amount to anything" before they would condescend to help it, and while they waited "the thing" generally died. But at last, thanks to the persistent efforts of a few earnest men, and a State law which permits the establishment of a public library without the aid of private subscriptions, and after almost numberless meetings and a thousand discouragements, the wet blankets of popular incredulity have become ineffectual and the enterprise seems now likely to attain tho success it has as well deserved any time inside the last ten years. And it does seem amazing that in a city of 25,000 inhabitants there should have been such indifference as has prevented its accomplishment sooner.

An examination of the list of stock holders in the association and especially of the directors appointed by ballot, Tuesday night, is an assurance to all that the undertaking is in the right kind of hands. At an early day, the city will be asked to take stock. The proposed request seems so reasonable, and under the law, so proper, that it can hardly be doubted that the request will be promptly complied with. This will entail the levying of a small tax next year of say a quarter or a half mill, a tax which we are sure will be most cheerfully paid by every intelligent person in the city. It has been intimated that certain members of the council would oppose the city's giving any aid to the library, but we can hardly believe that there will be any serious opposition to doing so, in the quarter named. No member would like to place himself in direct opposition to the intelligent will of the people in this respect, however much his own personal predilections and prejudices might conspire to make him desire its failure. «'zi

IT becomes more apparent every day that brawn, and not brains, is what wins in the present age aad that cheek is far more to be desired than intellectual culture. Now here is Captain Boynton of swimming notoriety who has just returned to this country, having been abroad sixteen months. Since his feat in swimming the English Channel, he has been visiting different points in Belgium, Holland aad Germany, showing the dress in which his exhibitions are given. Alter this be concluded to run home and take a few weeks' rest prior to his return in February. He goes next to Vienna, and intends to make a general continental tour, going from thence through the Suez Canal to Bombay, thence to Australia, from there to Siam, China and Japan, and.return home by way of San Francisco— though not swimming quite all tho way. Captain Boynton weighs now about one hundred and fifty pounds, having lost about forty pounds during his exhibitions. Among the tokens received by the Captain abroad are tho large gold medal of the French Society, a gold medal from the city of Dublin, and a testimonial, with the American flag and Dublin ooat-of-arms worked in silk and Irish poplin the Belgium life-saving decoration and a gold medal,ihe bronse medal of Germany, a silver medal from Amsterdam, a wreath of laurels in/frosted silver from the ladies of Weisenzee, a silver cup and pedestal from the city of Berlin, a flag and silver modal from Christ's Hospital, London, the London gold life-saving- medal, the London Herculean and Leandcr Club medals, the city of Folkestone gold medal, an appropriately engraved piece of plate from Birmingham, a handsome gold watch and chain from Sir John Bennett, and many other medals and gifts.

A MOST notable conversion is that of Charles Algernon Swinburne, who has recently joined the church of England. Ho was born and raised in the Catholic faith but for the past ten years has been notorious for his shameless infidelity his best known poems being absolutely blasphemous. A fair question now is, what will he do or say to counteract their influeHce—"What will he do to be saved?"

A WASHINGTON special to the Cincinnati Commercial says that opinions upon the issue of the Cuban question, based upon authorized statements in certain special dispatches, reflects quite favorably upon the President, who is credited with having satisfied the demand of the Natisn by securing terms for the Cubans, and eventually peace to the Island without having embroiled the United States in a war with Spain.

THE discovery was made a few days since that two convicts in the Ohio pen itentiary were manufacturing counter foit fivo-cent pieces, or nickels.

It is not believed that any very large amount« this crooked money had been set afloat.

THE Baltimore American publishes a letter addressed from London, to it, by Reverdy Johnson, on the subject of General Schenck and the Emma Mine scandal. Mr. Johson says that since his arrival in England he has endeavored to become accurately acquainted with all the circumstances of the transaction, and the result is his perfect conviction that there is no ground whatever for impeaching in the slightest degree General Schenck's personal integrity. An opinion from such a source is undoubtedly entitled to great weight yet still there are some ugly facts remaining which the public would be glad to see more clearly explained before exculpating General Schenck fully. w,,

THE property of the Bingham Bros seized by the government was sold at auction at Evansville on Tuesday. The distillery building and all the internal works were knocked down to government at $20,000, the first and only bid Previous to the sale Hon. Wm. lleilman notified the purchasers that he had a mortgage of $24,000 on the building, executed in 1871. Heilman losas heavily by the seizure of the distilleries. The machinery and fixtures in the rectifying house were bid in by the government at $2,500. A large lot of other stuff, including 63 barrels of orooked whisky, was sold in small lots at good prices.

A COUPLE of Georgia gentlemen (t) recently appealed to the code. Mr. Tilly was a commission merchant and Mr. Ratcliffe was a cotton broker. The lat ter insinuated that the former was not a gentleman, and the former thereupon undertook to prove that he was, by challenging the latter. A duel, accompanied by all the regulation tom-foolery, followed, and Tilly received a lump of lead in his abdomen which transformed him into a ghost. There is one commission merchant less in Georgia, and, tho best of the joko is, that the publie does not know any better now thaa it did before, whether the defunct was a gentleman or not. If the cotton broker bad been killed also, the public would have, had double cause for gratitude.

Tnis new Fisko University, at Nashville, was formally dedicated on New Year's day, in the presence of a large assemblage of people, white and black. General Clinton B. Fiske, who is president of ihe board of directors, and for whom the University was named, proaided, and made the opening address. Governor Porter, Bishop McTyelre, ex-Commissioner Smith, president of the Howard University, and others, also made addresses.

The occasion was a notable one, marking an important era in the advancing intelligence and progress of the negro race in the South. The univeisity building cost $120,000, nearly all of which was raised by ti. TublleeSlngera Mis. Fiske, by personal effort in New York, raised sufficient funds to furnish ihe forty rooms of ihe building. The institution partakes somewhat of- ihe nature of a normal oollege, as since its establiahment, ten years ago, it has annually graduated about one hundred teachers and candidates for the ministry —all colored. The Univeisity was established and is conducted under ihe auspice* of ihe American Missionary Association, but various denominations are represented in ihe director* and corps of teachers and professors.

WANTED—A LA W.

The increasing scarcity of fish in ihe streams and water-courses of Indiana is a subject that is beginning to attract something like the attention ii deserves. Sportsmen are becoming alarmed, and with good cause and are beginning to cast about for some remedy for the existing state of affairs. It is but a few years since fieh of excellent qualitysalmon, bass, perch and many other kinds—were so abundant in the Wabash that the supply seemed practically inexhaustible. Fishing, then, was indeed some sport. For one man to take a dozen fine bass—big, plump, gamey fellows, that made your line sizz, and your nerves tingle, and that required all your strength and caution and skill to land safely—to catch a dozen of these beauties in an hour or two, was an achievement not worth mentioning. But it was glorious fun! There was excitement about it of the most delicious sort healthful, invigorating, and to be remembered. Yet every fisherman knows that now, one may fish for hours, in the choicest places, with the most approved tacklo and the finest bait, and never get a "nibble." Now, it is a tiresome wait—wait—wait sort of business that would wear out the laziest man in tho world, and which is utterly demoralizing to one of any vim.

Old sportsmen remember the old times, and severely criticise the present laws relating to fish and game. They feel certain that new laws of the right character would be welcomed by the people, and that clubs or associations would be formed in every neighborhood to insure their enforcement. They are aware of the popular aversion to all prohibitory game laws and of the dificulty in enforcing them. There would seem to be a strong propensity with civilized men, amounting almost to an imperious instinct, to kill everything wild. But, we have reached that point that both self-interest and reason combine to admonish us that if we continue to enjoy the providential bounties of streams and fields, we must restrain that propensity, we must subchie that instinct. We must practice forbearance. We must, during the breeding seasons, protect fish and game from all attacks, and at all times, from wanton and wholesale destruction. This can be effected by the voluntary individual and collective resolve of the wholo community or, in the absence of unanimous concurrence, by astringent law to restrain the vicious and aid those who would save something from the general and impending wreck. It would be useless to enact a law which did not meet the approbation of the great mass of the community but, as already stated, from the best of our knowledge and belief, there is a strong and decided feeling among the people to enforce a law, wisely framed, to attain the ends desired. And some measures should also be taken looking to the restocking of the streams with fish. But this is a matter we will leave till another time. We desired more especially, at present, to call attention to tho necessity of a law which will more effectually protect what we have.

IN Maine, Sunday cursing is taxed two dollars per oath on week days the rate is lowered to only one dollar per oath. The law is rigid, and the proceeds, when collected, are to go towards founding a lunatic asylum.

That sounds very much like a joke but, to some ears, it might sound like a sermon—especially to fojks who have lived in that far-away country, and read its blue laws. One feels like asking the good people of Maine to be kind enough to rise up and explain why it is any worse to swear on Sunday than on any other day. Can time or place mako any difference in a wrong? Aro we any nearer Heaven when slnniDgon a weekday than when sinning on a Sunday.

Yet this is a popular error that obtains in more States than Maine. Any of us can easily name a number of persons whose Sunday deportment is in strongly marked contrast with their every-day business manners and behavior. Tho fact is so common as hardly to excite remark or notice. Yet no greater bigotry can be imagined than the idea of making ihe day paramount to the moral obligation. Right is right and wrong is wrong. It is lawftil to do good on tho Sabbath day and it is unlawful to do wrong on auy dav. A sin on Sunday is no less a sin on Wednesday.

GENERAL JOHN COBURN delivered an address at Indianapolis the other evening on what ho called "home interests," in which among other things be called attention to the unequal taxation for street Improvements, and suggested a change. Under the existing laws, a man owning an outside lot is taxed as much per front foot for street improvements as tho owner of a business front on our main street. And again, those persons who pay for street improvements are as a rule not tho persons who use the street most. This unjust discrimination oould be adjusted by having the cost of street improvements borne by the entire community, and the burden lightened to considerable extent by the laying of tax on all wheeled vehicles. The idea is not a bad one, and we should be glad to see it, or something better tried, for that the present method is uitfust in many cases, there can be no kind of question. __________

Mr. F. V. BICHOWSKY, one of the Trustees of the public schools published a card in Saturday morning's Express, in answer to an item in llwiuk'a Mail referring to Mr. Tietz, ihe 0erman school teacher. In this card Mr. B. uses some unnecessarily strong language, exhibiting more zeal than a correct knowledge of the facts. The Information upon which our article was baaed CMW from one of our leading physicians, a lady school tcacber, an undertaker and a well known attorney, residing in the \yard. Wo presume that none of these people care to have their names paraded in the paper, but they are at the service of any one interested. Sinee the appearance of Mr. Bichowskyto card, we have made additional inquirieaand have found no reason to unsay anything we said last week, except it may be that portion in regard to the number of families infected. We are glad to state that the information we had in that respect, was somewhat exaggerated by the fears of these who imparMt it. But it came from more than one citizen of the ward, and we believed it to be as true as we now know the other to have been. In our later investigations wo have learned the additional fact that Mr. Bichowsky himself was imposed upon by the physician in charge of Tietz.

THE last issue of Tho Mail contains an item in regard to tho privato affidrs of the Journal Company so void of the facts, and at the same time does such great injustice to other gentlemen connected with the Company who are not mentioned in the item, that the whole article is unbecoming a paper pretending to publish facts. We would further say that Col. Hudson does not own any part of the Journal news or job office, and is not interested therein directly or indirectly.—[From Saturday's Journal.

The item referred to was a list of names of certain gentlemen who own stock in the Journal newspaper company. It was a perfectly legitimate and proper piece of local news and was given as such. Moreover, it was furuiahed this office by one of the genllomon named as a stockholder. By an oversight in getting it in type, two names were omitted from tho list. They were those of Col. Thomas Dowling and Col. W. E. McLean, the former with $250 stock and the latter with $500. It does not seem likely, from the well known oharacter of these gentlemen, that either of them regarded the omission as an act of "great injustice," as the Journal claims it was. With the addition of their names, the list is, we believe, completo. With reference "to the ownership of the presses and job office we can only say that Col. Hudson has claimed, both before and sinew the denial of the Journal appeared, that he owns them. Certain legal proceedings which it is not necessary to relate here, have taken place but Col. Hudson and Mr. Shannon have undoubtedly some private understanding which warrants Colonel Hudson in calling the property his and selling it, which he is trying hard to do. It is 'certain th ire was no reason for the Journal to characterize the item as "unbecoming a paper pretending to publish facts," and we simply

refer

to the matter

in order to make this point clear.
