pleted and working arrangements made for
the distribution of books to residents.
Tne Library building, on Central Avenue,
is rapidly approaching completion, and will
shortly be ready tor opening.
Evidently no long tune can elapse before
the benefit to ltugby of this generous tribute
of the American literary world to Thomas
Hughes begins to be telt. lint in the mean
time the maintenance of 'lie institution is a
serious tax upon the limited means of the
present population of the town.
Mr. Abner L. Ross has kindly consented to
receive subscriptions from visitors to the
Tabard Hotel. Payments can also be made
to the Hughes' Public Library at the
Lafayette Bank of Cincinnati, and to Mr. N.

There is an impression with some
of our readers that The Ruobeian
is in future to be issued fortnightly,
instead of weekly. That is not so,
and if ever such a sickness threatens
the paper, rather than leave it to a
lingering death, it will be smothered
at once.
The Ruqbe'ian is now paying its
way, and Will be issued every Satur
day, as it has been, but with one
exception, since the present pro
prietor has had charge of the journal,
we want, however and never more
than at the present moment, while
the colony is not out of its crucial
condition the helping right hand
of every colonist and well wisher in
this country and the old.
Rugby has yet a hard and long
struggle to maintain ; she is no
trimmed garden where one may
walk, and, " at his own sweet will,"
cultivate the beautiful alone. No !
the surroundings are rough and
primeval forests, needing the axe
and the determination of the pioneer,
and the plow, and the seed, and the
patience of the tiller of the soil.
The pen has been said to be
mightier than the sword, but we
question if it be more powerful than
the plowshare ; however, the press
is an immense impetus to civilization,
and Cincinnatus, "in the brave days
of old," would have been none the
less civilized, or useful as a member
of society, had he, in his bucolic or
dictatorial days, a weekly newspaper
to peruse. We would again solicit
for The Rugbeian the support of all
those who have the interests of
Rugby at heart.
Nobody will now believe, no matter
who certifies to the contrary, that
Rugby is anything but a disastrous
failure; whereas Rugby has been
passing through the diseases of
childhood, and is on the way to be
come a well-established, pleasant
and profitable colony. It is evident
that if a gang of " Will Wimbles "
enter the wilderness as pioneers,
their work as pioneers will fail. But
that does not imply that the place
is a failure ; only that the " Will
Wimbles " were unfit for the work,
and that the locality was not all its
founders hoped and believed. After
the debris of bottles the " Will
Wimbles " had heaped up has been
cleared away by successors better
qualified for the task, the colony
begins to assume shape ; gradually
to strengthen and harden into form
and consistency. But it will be long
before the success is recognized,
whereas the news of failure spreads
like wildfire.
As a rule a new setlement has to
go through a probation of abuse :
and nearly always begins its career
as "a disastrous failure." This
was conspicuously the case with the
most successful settlement of modern
days, the Canterbury Colony of New
Zealand : and although Rugby may
not attain to large proportions, it is
likely to form a good average sue
cess, porhaps more, to make up in
a measure by agreeable society, a
pleasant climate and picturesque
scenery, for any short comings in
soil, and .wealth of produce. Anglo

THE COUNTY ELECTIONS.
We had hoped to receive in time
for publication this week, the elce
tion returns for Morgan and Fen
tress . Counties, but up to going to
press . they had not come in. It
is generally believed, however, that
but few changes have taken place
The Nashville corespondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial telegraphs to
that journal : "Meager returns have
been received from county elections
throughout the State. The advices
so far indicate the defeat of the
call for a Constitutional Convention,
by a large majority."
Mr. G. II. Baskette, late of the
Murfrecsboro News, has taken
editorial charge of the Nashville
American. He is an able journal
ist. Another Sunday, or a new day for

Shields was sentenced by the Chat
tanooga Circuit Court, last week, to
twelve months' in the penitentiary,

The Americus (Ga.) Recorder is
printed on paper 50 per cent, of
which is pine wood. The paper is
soft, smooth and clear, and takes
the impression remarkably free.
What is the cost per pound, and
where manufactured ? The Trades
man. It is gratifying to learn from
latest reports that the Rugby colony
is flourishing and hopeful. The
man that undertook to plant that
colony did a far better bit of old
fashioned English work than that
which Gladstone is trying to do in
Egypt, and Mr. Hughes and his
followers deserve success. Phila
