THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.
A National Treasury of Learning.

Few peple ar kware irhat rie'o

Corgrewaat Washington baa of late
years become. Starting with only
twenty thousand volamea, saved from
the burning of tba library In 1851, tbia
collection bas grown n the quarter of
a century si Dee to 800,000 volumes,
beside 60,000 pamphlet; yet tbe
mre numerical flgare of the collec
tion form tba smallest index to tbe
actual Value of tbe library es working
material for the legislator, the pub
licist, the historian, and tbe literary
student It would b naturally expect
ed tbftt the library of Congress, In
tended primarily for tbe use ef tbe
National Legislator, would be made
complete in all that relate to law,
government, ana political economy
Bat tbi library is beside tbe best
historical library iu America, has
much tbe largest collection of Dews
paper and periodicals, baa a en ore
varied and complete collection of En
gltsb literature tban la elsewhere to be
found, and stands almost alone in tbe
completeness of its seta and transac
tion and other publications of scien
tific institutions throughout tbe
world. Besides tbi opuknee In tbe
material for American civil, politi
cal, ana military nmtory, both manu
script and printed, It far surpase that
of any other public collection In tbe
country. -.
Bat if tbe extent dS ralue of this
.collection, a a great repository of
fact and learning, is but little known,
till less has tbe public had any op
portunity of learning, or appreciating
tbe vast addition to tbe business of
the library involved la the registry of
all American copyrights, and the pre
servation. In duplicate, of all copy
right publications.' By act of Con
gress in 1S70 this copyright business
was taken away from the Clerks of
too District Courts or the United
Htates and transferred to tbe office of
tbe Librarian of Congress. Tbe mere
entries of copyrights alone, ever since,
have numbered between fourteen and
sixteen thousand per annua) which
Involve tbe record of tbe titles, fur
nishing to applicants, the certificates
of copyright, besides" the answer to
tii ansae da of letters representing ap
plications rejected as not coming
within the law of copyright. It must
also be remembered that, by provision
of law, copies of each book or other
publication must be transmitted to
tbe library and tbere filed away and
preserved. Tbe extraordinary amount
of detail requl.-ed in keeping a three
fold index to all this multifarious ma
terial, and tlie receipt and acknowi-
eagmens stampier ana numbering
and filing away of between twenty-
elgbt ana thirty thousand article ev
ery year, consisting of books, periodi
cals, musical and dramatic composi
tions, engravings, photographs, bro
osos, etc , can be appreciated only by
one who has seen the pile of literary
and ntoer material which arrive at
the Capitol by each dally mail, and
Is opened by tbe Librarian In person.
It must be remembered that tbe great
portion of work dene in tb library of
uongress tn thus preset Wug, in a per
manent nreproor r expository, a com
plete representation of the work of
the American Press, so far as secured
by copyright, must look to future
generations for its vindication. What
should we give, forissrj)le, to have
in one repository, freely accessible to
all people in this year of grace 1870,
copy of every book,-, jhampblet, en
graving, or other illustration which
emanated from tbe American preai In
ma, iw years ago t Tbls may seem
to be to compare small things with
great, when we contrast tbe paucity
oi me puDiicsiione or me year of In
dependence wi W the enormous fecun
dity or the press of the present day.
But, although it will be impossible to
assemble or ft exhibit at tbe Phila
delphia Exhibitlou the whole product

entirely feasible for those celebrating
tbe second Centennial of American
Indepenaence to summon at Wash
IngtoB U copyrighted publications, of
wnswver Kino, wnicn emanated from
tbe press during tbe present year.
Btlde the labors of the copyright
uapartmeni, wnicn amount in variety
and multiplicity of detail to those of
a bureau, the Librarian of Congress is
charged with the purcLase, correcting
cataloguing, and preparing for read
ers of acquisitions to tbe library,
Is
amounting every year to between 12,-
uuu and 15,000 volumes. The corres
pondence and foreign crdera, the
watching or book auction at borne
and abroad, and the constant perusal
or catalogue required to effect these
purchase, and tvoid duplication
mass anotner large item seldom
thought or In connection with the
store of a ricll public, library, which
is the result of gradual accretioo and
patient daily labor, continued inces
santly for many years. In addition
. to this, tbe library of Congress, alone
or an me purine libraries of the coun
try, is charged with tbe large ex
change of public documents with
foreign Governments and institutions,
through' wbicb tbe library Is constant
ly enriched while sending abroad fifty
sets oi eacn oocument, pampnlet, or
report published by order of Congress,
or by any department or bureau of
tbe Uovern meat ' Another most ex
tensive .rork recently undertaken by
the Librarian is tbe preparation and
printing of a comprehensive Index to
all tbe document, debate, and laws
of Congress, showing In one alphabet
topic of ail subject treated in all tbi
vast collection of material, amounting
to ever 1,600 printed volumes ; about
three hundred and fifty of these have
already been Indexed in the li
brary, but tbe work will have
to stop provided the cutting down
of the force contemplated by tbe
Appropriation Committee of the
House la extended to this de
partment of tb publie business.' In
fact, the Librarian In'jrms me that
the business of tae Library, the copy,
right department, and the index re
quire tar more assistant instead of
leas, and that he ha been deterred
from asking' for additions help by
stress of economy and tbe stricture or
tbe public finance. While tbe
Patent OSce employs In it business
about tsree hundred and fifty officer
and clerks, tha Librarian baa at pres

ton Public Library, of lees size tban
tbe Library of Congress, employs for
its very large catalogue and circulat
ing business, seventy officers of all
grades, and tbe library of the British
Museum, with 900,000 volumes, and
no circulation whatever, ha a staff of
eighty officer. In fact. It seems to a
close observer that tbe Incessant tup

THIRD-CLASS MAIL MATTER.
A wriUr in the New York limet
tbo discourses upon Mr. Hamlin's
bill on third-class mail matter :
Tour irfrue of yesterday state that
Mr. Hamlin bas made hi long-delayed
report on Post Office and Post
Road at last, but If be expect that
the bill, as reported will be satisfac
tory, be most be ignorant Indeed of
tbe temper of tbe community os this
Important matter.
When, at tbe close of the session
last year, Mr. Hamlin slipped in the
bill doubling tbe rate on tbird-cla
matter, he claimed after a storm was
raised about bis bead that it was not
so intended. How doe be reconcile
that statement with bis present bill,
which is, from it grading of rate by
distance, even more objectionable?
For Mr. Hamlin to say that be was
not aware that be Intended to doable
tbe rate, in hi bill of last year, is
about as easy to believe as If be made
tbe assertion that be was not aware
of tbe existence of express companies.
A ease which Mr. Hamlin and hi
committee never tire of quoting, for
tbe necessity of doubling tbe rates
when tbe distacce to be traveled is
over one thousand mile, I that of a
baroese-maker in Boston sending 40U
pound of harness by mail to Arizona,
which the Post Office Department
found Itself bound to deliver at im
mense loss. Granted such to have
been the fact, if tbere were do other
mean by which tbi bardy pioneer
could transport bl harness and in
all probability there was cot surely
the Government of tbe country be
was sacrificing himself to develop
could well afford to lend bim a helping
band.
But tbere is another phase of this
question wnicn seem not to oe gen
e rally understood. By an Interna
tional Postal Treaty between tbe
United States and Canada, third-class
matter is went from Canada at tb
rate of one cent for four ounces, or
four cents per pound, to any part of
tne united state, wnne do tnira-
clafs matter can be sent from
the United State to Canada, of more
weight than eight ounces, for leas
than ten cent.
Now, the result of this treaty,
wbicb without explanation looks like
tbe act of a lunatic i that it allow
tbe Canadian merchant to offer to de
liver any good mailable as third
class matter at twelve cent per
pound, lower than can be done by
the American merchant Tbe con
sequence is, to protect themselves
some are already forming agencies in
Canada to have good mailed from
ther to their customer to tbe United
States. One enterprising firm In De
troit, Mich., had tbi season 100,000
catalogues mailed in Canada ; their
catalogues weighed seven ounces, and
were mailed In Canada, for two cent
each, or $2,000 for all. If they bad
been mailed in Detroit It would have
cost $7,000, so the firm netted $5,000
bv th use or tneir uanaaian agency.
Tbe United States Postoffice Depart
ment however, obligingly delivered
these twenty-five tons of mall matter
for nothing, as all, or nearly all, were
destined for the United States. Now,
this 1 only an isolated case. No
doubt tbere are hundreds of totbers
who have resorted to tbe same plan
of not only mailing circulars, but
goods, in Canada, to their customers
in the States, all of which, according
to treaty, must te delivered by tbe
United State for nothing. And yet
Mr. Hamlin and bis associate com
mittee claim that tbe high rate on
third-claw matter must be continued
to make tbe Postoffice Department
self-sustaining.
Serious Disturbance in the Handling
of the Mails.
Thera is a Wortbington law on tbe
National statute books. It provides
that do officer of the government
shall Incur any expeuse whatever
above tbe appropriation made for
the specific purpose for the fiscal year.
It Is a provision that when the money
appropriated for any specific purpose
b) ex bale ted, tbe government is not
to be made a debtor on that account
any farther. Now, It so happens that
the appropriation mad by Congress
for tbe present fiscal year for "light,
fuel, water, and miscellaneous" for
buildings of the Treasury Department,
almost exhausted. Secretary Bri
tow, not being a Mike Corbett, feels
bonndtoobey tbe law. On Friday
last be cause a circular to be iseued
all Superintendent of Treasury
Buildings, notifying them or tbe con
dition of tbe appropriation, and oil
ing tneir attention to tne law. rne
circular call on them to see that the
law Is strictly observed, and tbat no
expense whatever is Incurred for tbe
government, and directs tnat gas ana
water be but off, and all engineers
and otner laborers paid out of this
fund should be discharged. This cir
cular was received by tbe officers in
charge of tbe Custom House building
here yesterday, and Mr. R. H.
Stephenson at once ordered off the
gas. He bad mad his estimate sever
al day ago for tbe coming month,
and bad been notified that tbe ap
propriation was nearly exhausted,
and bl full.amonnt could cot be
passed.
Tbe turning off of gas created a de
cided sensation in the Post-office.
Tbat important Institution is so thor
oughly buried in the bssement tbat
gas is' required all day for tbe proper
discharge of duty. To shut it oft
brought discomfort at once. Several
of tbe clerks carried their tables and
shelve out in tbe alley on tbe west
side of the Post-office, and pursued
their work by the light of the sun.
The janitor was set to work washing
the windows to let In all tbe light
possible. The stamp clerk got two
lamps and kept his business going.
Tbere was a (strong ecort to get the
gas turned on at the expense of tbe
night clerks, who would have to lose
their time if they get no work, but
tbat plan was not considered to be
feasible. The Postmaster telegraphed
to Washington for instructions, and
was told to "dc the best you can and
wait for farther Instructions." Con
sequently tbe office was dark last
night, except a tbe watchmen and
others chose to provide themselves
with lamp.
Th serious result) of this neglect of
Congress to pass the necessary appro
priation, bill will be manifest to-day
when merchant and others find their
mail delayed. The few lamp tbat
were procured last nigbt enabled tbe
clerks to do something, but they work
at a great disadvantage, aud can not
be able to keep up with tbeir work.
There will be a loud petition to Con
gress for prompt action in making the
necessary appropriation for carrying
on this necessary portion of tbe Gov
ern m enl's work, A little attention to
tbe actual want of the country, and
Ipaj effort to make capital for tbe Pres
idential campaign, would be appre

A Failing Rock From Lookout Mountain.
talo.
The Chattanooga (Tenn.) Comma-
ciai say : "On Sunday hundred of
people visited the mountain for the
purpose of taking a look at the im
mense mass, which is slowly severing
itself from tbe ledge of rocks at
Bragg's Bluff, near tbe toll-gate. , The
first indications of tbi severing ' pro
cess were discovered about a week
ago, and since then the work ha
been almost constantly going on
Tbe greatest progress so far discovered
ha been an inch an hour, but on
Sunday, at 8:30 P. IL, it bad reached
distance of about sixteen feet from
tbe parent ledge. Tbe crevice Is
about thirty feet deep. Tbe length of
tne railing rock is about one hundred
feet, the width about twenty-five feet
and the weight is estimated to
be 6,000 tons. The rock commences
just above the spring near tbe toll
gate, out or which, standing under this
great mass of rock, so many people
iiave drank, feeling perrectly secure.
When tbe rock falls it will take with
this cool chamber where so many
have slaked their thirst. Tbe sever
ed part is ornamented by three pretty
good forest trees. Tbe distance be
tween tbe road and the cliff is so small
that tbe rock will undoubtedly fall
across tbe road and go thundering
down the side of tbe mountain, carry
ing with it trees and whatever may
be in It track. People are still pass
ing in front of it on foot, and a few
venturesome ones on horseback.
Sunday night, about 10 o'clock, some
thirty tons of rock fell from the front
tbe moving mass. It I still mov
ing, though less rapidly tban hereto
fore. The fall will be a wonderful

Wheat and Chess.
We have received several letters
from apparently hoc est subscribers
differing from our statement that
wheat will not tarn to chess (or
cheat) and rice vena. 8a lone as
men live who believe that poiiJiiJIed
in tbe wane of tbe moon will shrink.
or tbat ODions will succeed better
when planted in some particular
phase of that piaDet, we suppose their
counterparts in superstition and faith
will hold that wheat Is chess or can
be made such. We -do not suppose
they would be convinced "although
one arose from tbe dead." We quote
tbe following from tbe report of tbe
Department of Agriculture for tbe
year 1869, page 604 : ,lCiieat or chess
(Brorous sec&llnu), a partly nataral
ixed weed from Europe, is too com
mon in slovenly-cultivated grain
fields. It is singular In the present
state of knowledge how widely tbe
error prevails tbat chess is degener
ated wheat. It belongs to an entirely
different genus. Several years ago,
when it was introdaced from Europe,
it was known as Wiliiard' chew, and
fabulous price were offered for the
seed ; but it was not long before fie
true character of tbe plaut was found

they bad been doubly 'cheated,' for
tbe grass was both too meager in
quantity and t&o poor in qaality fur

eoaraging the growth of a trouble
some weed. To exterminate it bow
clean seed and keep the waste ground
clear of the plant. The seed is couch
smaller than tee grains of wheat,
from which it is separated by the best
modern fanning mills."
. Tbe Indiana Farmer of March 23th
ay: The old question about wheat
taming to chess is being discussed
again in some quarters. - Tbere are
just two well-ascertained facts wbicb
ought to forever esttie that otner fact,
viz that wheat don't turn to cbeis.
1. Che! a totally distinct plant
from wheat. 2. Chess seed retains
power of germination for a great
many years in the soil, just as the
seed of some weed are known Jto do.
The conclusion therefore is that when
wbeat is winter-killed the conditions
for tbe germination of the chess seed,
deposited perhaps years before, are
Just then met. After meadow lands
wbicb bad been iree from weeds lor
year are broken the sun and temper
ature cause the germination of weed
seeds which had lain in the soil, re
taining power of growth perhaps for
years, and now tbe land appears full
of weeds. These facts ought to put
an end to tbe belief that wbeat tarns
to chess.
We might fill the sheet with evi
dence of tbe same character and of
tbe highest authority, but we suppose
it would be of little use to adduce
farther testimony on the subject.
One of oar correspondents desires to
bet fifty dollar that be "can grow
wheat from chess, and timothy from
chess, and red-top from timothy and
and timothy from chess," and can do
a host or other equally miraculous
things. We respectfully decline the
proposal, because we remember au
old adage we beard wbeu a boy to tbe
import that a bet was a fool's argu
ment. Wi are nuite willinr our mends
should hold opinion counter to ours,
even on this wbeat and chess ques
tion ; only we wish to be excused
from further discussion of so utterly
silly and riduculous an assertion as
that wbeat will turn to chess or chess

How It Feels to Swallow a Mouse.
The Cohoes (N. Y.) Eagle tells a
curious accident happening to a son of
James O'Helan, residing on Saratoga
Street It seems tbat Willie, the
youngest child, a bright boy of twelve
or thirteen years of age, laid down in
corner of the kitchenMonday nigut,
and being tired out was soon fast
asleep. Tbe father wis reading at a
table placed in tbe center of the room,
the rest of the family were all in bed,
and consequently the house was per-,
fectly still. Suddenly, a startling cry
came from the child which aroused
the father, who made a rush lor the
boy and asked him what was the mat
ter. The boy clasped bis father in bis
arms, and witb startling eyes, ex
claimed, "Father, father, I have
swallowed a mouse, and I feel bim
biting me inside!" In an instant the
father had the bouse aroused, and a
messenger was sent for a doctor, who
soon arrived, and administered an
emetic which bad tbe desired effect,
and tbe boy, after some terrible retch
ing threw op the mouse, and strange
relate, tbe creature was alive and
active, and made his escape to a hole
tbe floor. It appears tbat while tbe
child slept he bad his mouth open,
and tbe mouse which was a very small
one, got frightened by a muscular mo

mouth and down bis throat but bow

and give an eastern exposure. In tbe
Summer I keep it wet enough so the
water may stand on the top, and at
all times very wet. Once a year I take
ttje plant, shake the earth from tbe
roots, and fill the jar with earth taken
from under old ecd. As soon as a
blossom commences to wither I cat it
down, never allowing a flower to die
on the plant Tbe result is in six
teen months I have had eighteen
blossoms on the same plant and at
tbe present time it has two very large
full bloesoms." '
What the Parson Says.
Parson Brownlow may be grim, but
he has sound ideas. He says in a late
issue of bis paper, tbe Kuoxvslle
Chronicle : "A Democratic victory
In November means tbe ascend
ancy of such men at tbe Suuth as Ben
Hill. Toombs, Ishamu. Harris, Tuck
er, and other extremists, and of such
Northern Copperheads as Fernando
Wood, Heister Clymer, Eaton, of Con
necticut, and others of similar politi
cal interest With such a revolution
ary, reactionary element at tbe head
of National affairs, assisted by tbe cor
rupt incompetent and reckless men
who control our Southern State Gov-

Detroit Free Press : Yesterday,
when a Detroit boy's feet flew up and
seated him in the slush on Congress
street, a stranger happened to be
uerr and helped tbe lad up. - Not feel-
inc as if this was enough, he led the
bov alone to a peanut stand and filled
bis pockets witb a quart of fresh-roas-
ed. I be tears aisappearea witn tna
peanuts, and as the last handful was
crammed down tbe boy asked : "Do
you live here, mister" 'No.bub
I'm a straoger in Detroit." "Won
you please git some money and bay a
house and live here all the rest of tbe
time ?' inquired tbe boy in a beseech
ing voice.
A writer in the New York Times
says :
It often becomes desirable to insert
screws into plaster walls without at
taching them to any wood-work :
but when we turn them tbe plaster
gives way, and our enort is vain : and
yet a screw may be inserted in plas
ter, so as to bold ngnt pictures, sc,
very firmly. Enlarge tbe hole to
about twice the diameter of tbe screw,
fill it with plaster of Paris, such as is
used for fastening tbe tops of lamps,
tc, and bed tbe Bcrew in the soft
plaster. When tbe plaster bas set the
screw will bold like iron.
The New Hampshire election re
sulted, according to the official fig'
ores, in a vote for Governor of 41,763
for Cheney, Republican ; 33,123 for
Marcy, Democrat; 419 for Kendall,
Temperance, and 15 scattering. The
total vote was 60,322, Cheney having
3,203 majority over all. Last year the
total vole was 79,200, and no candi
date having had a majority over all
others, the Legislature had to elect
the Governor. A vote was taken this
year on calling a Constitutional Con
vention, which resulted overwhelm
ingly in favor of tbe proposition.
A business man of Detroit, who had
some excrescance removed from his
feet bv a local corn doctor, about
year ago, called at his office again a
few days ago, to nave a bunion trerted
"You are not the person who was .ier
a year ago ?" said tbe patient. "No,"
responded tne chiropodist, "tbat was
my brother." "Is be still In the bus
iness ?" Inquired the caller. "Not
actly; he's not in this branch of the
profession ; he's now on tbe lung?"
Belknap and his wife still abstain
from appearing in public, and since
tbe unfortunate and unhappy dis
closure have kept closely to their
house, and are visited but by few
friends. The other day tbe Secretary
for tne nrst time arove out in bis car
rage, and was recognized by many on
Pennsylvania avenue. BDth however
are In much better spirits than they
were two weeks ago.
a snoe-aeaier in wasbingtou says
it is not true tnat Airs. Ueltnap bas
the smallest feet of any lady in the
city. He adds: "Within the past
three weeks 1 have sold two pairs of
shots much smaller, to a younsr lady
at wasnington. me lady mentioned
is five feet five inches high, weighs
about iu pounds, and is a pure blonde
of tbe finest type. She wears slippers
rso. is, misses size, and iso. 1 caiters.
though the latter are too Urge except
?3 tne neignt oi tne instep."
A young lady dressed in much false
hair was warbling at the piano, and
when her mother eummooed- her to
assist la some househol J riiies, her
rosy lips opened pouting?? and she
snapped out, "O, do it yourself?"
And tnen she went on singing, "Kind
words can never die."
With the snow flying in seven dif
ferent directions, the wind blowing at

General Howard.
Dr. Hall says many persons have
brought on serious sickness by hold
ing on to tbe knob of the front dor
wtiile standing in a draft, and speak'
ing "last words," to friends. If you
bappen to be young, though, you may
bang on to a frout gate to say good
oye until tne oia man begins to raise
Ned.
Of tbe sixteeo Presidt-nts who have
died a natural death, tbe average age
of tbe nrat eigtt is eignty years ; of
the second eigfit, sixty-eight years.
For tbe first tithe since Washington's
death, an administration approaches
its close without tbere being one ex
President alive; usually tbere have
been two, or three, or four.
