Policy of the Public Library.
There are event* and organizations which
are intended for a temporary effect, after
producing whleh, their exlatence ceases to
be a matter el Importance. Such are many
of the eocial or public entertainments and
popular assemblies, whose only design Is to
amnie the multitude, to compliment a dls
tingulshed visitor, or to a.waken public en
thuslasm la behalf of rome short-lived sen
sation. The present lnte. eet for
public library does not belong
te this elaae of movements. It
is the beginning of an effort on the part of
aerlous men of ripe experience to establish
a great pubiio Institution whose growth In
resources and influence la to be the result
of successive years. While they reasonably
hope for speedy benefits, they are more
concerned at present about securing a safe
and substantial foundation than abcut
reaping immediate result*. Such solicitude
will not seem to be without cause, when we
remember that a great majority of snch en
terprlses, after a flattering Inception, have
run but an ephemeral eouree before falling
under the fatal stroke of ihe sher ff'a ham
mer; while statistics show that about 98 per
cent, of the commercial houses of New
York city, after a prosperous beginning,
have soon gone down before disas rous
change In the market.
We are Induced to submit these thoughts
by the apprehension that the Impatient
zeal o r some true friend of the library en
terpri-e may become restive at ths cauth us
movements of the prudent men who are
made principally resp msible for the man
agement of its affal's. We are as eager as
anybody can be to ere the room thrown
open and the books being banded out to
subscribers, but we are more eager to Pel
assu-ed bat the association will never be
come Involved In debt, and to learn that its
eurrent expenses are provided for In ad
vance by some rellab’e eouree of adequate
Income. Feeling confident that we have
the sympathy of the board of directors in
these views, which have been repeatedly
presented In oar columns in the past, we
only plead that prudence on the pxrt of
th.ee competent gentlemen may not. be
misttken for Inaction. Tuey wisely Judge
that substantial prosperity ihonld precede
display.
Seek Them Out.
The rigor of this extremely sev-re winter
is such that even appeals for aid seem fro
zen Into silence, and there are many de
serving persons who would submit to al
meet any alternative short of perishing
rather than ask alms. It is a time Id whleh
the humvre should remember that their
duty to the poor cannot be done by p-exy.
Rev. J. H. Campbell has called our atti n
tInn to the following cases who are In suf
fering and want, and who need more than
he is able to give them:
In the boarding house nearest the Eagl
and Phenlx factory. In the wing fronting
north. In a basement room near the ceotre
of the v> lng, la a Mrs. Carrie Hensley, whose
case is one of peculiar hardship. Last year
shelosther husband. A month agoherold-
est son, and chief dep' nJenoe, died. She
has only one little boy working In the tac
lory. Her daugh er, also an Invalid, is kept
at home wsitiDg on her sick mother. Since
the death of her son she has been bed ridden,
and is a great sufferer. She is an excel.eut
woman.
In the northern end of Bank’s building
there Isa flight of stairs outside the budd
ing, leading to the second story. In the
first room on the left as you enter the hail
la a Mrs. Helms, whose daughter, also a
widow, has betn confined to her bed lor
weeks; Is unable either to lie down oreit
up, and engrosses the at ention of her
mother day and night. They need sympa
thy and aid.
In the adjoining room to Mrs. Helms Is
Mrs. Bhelton, to whose case attention was
called a week ago, and whose lamily still
needs the attention of the charitable.
Again, there are familrs which desire but
i.ttle more than a frlendlr recognition, and
where difficulties are wonderfully lightened
by a irleudly visit, though it be only a
pop call. There Is a heart hunger which
no amount of alma oanmeet and such hun
ger may be next to starvation even under
summer skies, and In the midst of plenty.
But In the bleak winter time, when even-
effort is needed to keep the wolf from the
door, It is a great oomlort to open the door
friendly face. A touch of nature It
is said makes the world akin. Search them
out and hide charity under ths pleasanter
ul»e of friendship. Under that innocent
mask It will be all the more welcome, and
even though It may be “seen through,” it Is
te t through nou* the less, sending a mutu
al glow through the persons obliged, as
well as the obliging visitor. Seek them
out.
Han’t forgot
To call and try the best Unlanndried
Shirt in the market; it ontshir.es them
them all. Call for the Sun Shirt—(1
each.

As a great wonder of science and me
chanical ingenuity the great original is
fatuous the world over, and this, the
fao-simile, which opened yesterday
eveniug at the Webster Building, is in
every respect most attractive and in
teresting, aa it combines all its mechan
ical features with undispnted preoisii n
aud truthfulness, and is a sight lull of
historic interest. It is said to come
fully up to the standard claimed for it
in its advertisements. The astronom
ical mechanism, in which are portrayed
the movements of the various planets,
including the equation of time, the
ecclesiastical compute, the different
changes of the moon, etc., exhibit a
most scientific knowledge of astronom
ical mechanism, while the automatic
movements in which father time and
the four ages of man are presented,
together with the procession of the
twelve apostles, Peter’s denial of the
Savior, Satan’s temptation, etc., etc.,
are portrayed with such life-like imita
tion as to excite admiration and won
der at the skill and ingenuity of the
artist and maker. W T e have no doubt
but that, as its merits become known,
it will excite the same general enthusi
asm here as it has in all the principal
cities of the United States.

A Query for Men of Means.
Enquirer-sum It 1* but Just that men who
have acquired a competency by their own
exertions, or have lawfully inherited It
from those who have thus acquired It,
should eujoy the benefits of their possrBs-
lonsucoording to their own Judgment, it
is legitimate that they ahonld use it, if they
nee fit, to inspire the respect and admiration,
and even gratitude of tbolr countrymen.
Every country, almost every section and
city of the civilized world, has produced
some great-hearted man ot wealth who,
feeilng his inability to consume his treas
ures upon his individual p’easures, or
rather being unwilling to monopolize all
his advantages to the exclusion of the
thousands around him, has nobly laid oat
a portion of his possessions for the happi
ness of others. It is an amiable, a com
mendable, a pleasurable trait to desire to be
remembered gratefully after we have been
placed to rest la the bosom of mother earth.
To desire that onr own descendants should
have the gratification ot hearing onr nsmet
extolled lor generous deeds by their asso
ciates and countrymen of a coming
generation, is an asplratioa wor
thy of the most nnsMfish human
heart. It has not been long since
thousands of people assembled In Georgia’s
principal sea port to commemorate ths val -
or of a revolutionary hero whose life closed
more than a hundred years ago. While the
words of eulogy were fl wing irom the lips
of the eloquent orator of the occasion and
the welkin was resounding with the shouts
of the enthusiastic hearers.no descendant of
Count Pulaski would have been ashamed o:
the honored blood that coursed his vein <■
There are men and women In the land
who can say of some ancestor of a past gen
eration, “He made money, he kept It, he
died;” bnt no one can see anything In such
history to kindle an emotion of pride or
admiration In the bosom of his posterity.
There are others who have used their
wealth toe evate and bless their fellow
men; and tbe-e names are not despised.
An opportunity is now presented fore me
eitlzen of Columbus te send bis name down
to his grand-ehlldren a«;the most memora
ble beneiaetor among all the people o< our
city In the present day. The man who
shall present the Public Library Assoc a
tlon with a first class building In a first
class looation, will bs held In remembrance
long, long after his face has ceased to be
seen upon our etreets. It would be a deed
ol which his children need never be asham
ed. A valuable property set apart lor the
pubiio good, and bearing his own name,
would insure him a renown among the fu
tare citizens of Columbus which the proud
est m ght reasonably envy. My query Is,
wbo Is this happy man? While other cities
have furnished examples ot munificent do
nations for the public good, let us not as
sume that no suoh spirit is to be found
among the citizens of Columbus.
Very respectfully,
Hopeful.

The plsytoeis of onr city wl'l no doubt
be highly gratified at the announcement
that the eminent commedians, Robson A

play Sharps and Fiatsin the opera hou®e on
next Thursday night, the 27th.
The authors of tbe play appear to have

minds when the work was In ihe molds, tor
It could not have been possible te fit the
first efthese eminent eemmedlans more
perfectly than does the obaract r of fuller
Sha: pa, while that of Dulstone Flat belongs
to tba’ type of old men In whose eccentric
imbecility the unctuous Mr, Crane fairly
revels. The plot is very simp e. Sharp is a
i-tock speculator of the cunning and not es
pecially moral procltvi leg, who induces
Fla, a retired preacher, to engage with
him In vaiious speculations which promise
immense returns,various sunsof money
in trust, of Flat being the base of operations,
conventional villain who Is the
guardian of a beautiful young lady,
falls to grt the money of the
latter to speculate with and far reason un
explained aids laige y In advancing toe
crash in the s o k in which Sharp and Flat
ire interested. The break comes when it
appears that the young lady. Miss Pem
berton, is Sharp’s long lost da iguter
who has just arrived at her majority and
possesses the money to straighten th mall
out. At the same time the ma kst turns

frame are hung numerous farcical incidents

Mr. Henry Otto, of Nuringen, Germany,

member of a firm owning several sp'n-
nlng mills In Nnrlngen, and Is himself a
practical manufacturer. His opinion is
valuab'e. and a complimentary one, there
fore, when he expresses himself as being
surprised and delighted with his visit here.
After spending several months In England,
this gentleman Is making an extended tonr
of the United State®. He candidly agrees
that the Eagle and Phenlx,No.3, mill is the
most thorough and progressive he has ever
seen. Weareonly too happy to welcome
such well informed and pleasant visitors
and hope his firm, appreciating the inevl’a-

ABOUT BRIDGES.
The second chapter of tbe book of the
Chronlotes of Girard, by a daughter of the
house of Japhett.
1. Now in those days there was no foot
bridge ov-jr the rlvu.ets and quicksands
that marred the streets of Girard.
2. Aud behold It came to pass that when
the ladles ef the city did go to the churches
and the places of merchandise that they did
mire and soil the hems of their garments.
3. Then two men of the city, HaDS and
Carl, said one to the ether, Go to; let as
build an bridge over tbe rivulets and quick
sand-; that our wives, our mothers and onr
daughters may go over dry shod, and tbe
sa>lng plea-ed them.
4. And straightway ih-y weat'to a dealer
In lumber, and bought plank and peld the
price thereof, and they took nails where
withal to baild the bridge.
5. And It came to pass as they wrought
thereon, that same stood by (men of the
city), rmd reviled; others murmured, say
ing, Bebold now, mischief will befall the
city by reason of the bridge.
6. But the two met, HaesandCarl.heark
ened not ant* tbe r voice but finished the
bridge, which they bullded, and when they
poked on it, heboid It scat very go: d.
7 For the ladies ot the cit y arise up and
e ill them bl sssd and rejoice exceedingly
because of the bridge.
8. A' d now behold those men that re
viled, are fain to go by way of tbe bridge al
so, that they may go over dry shod for In
times past they were wont to wade through,
and sell their shoes withal.
9 F . r now thev begin to say within them
selves, we will also go ever ou th* bridge
for we must needs be careful of our health,
for verily the bridge Is now bnilded and we
will profit thereby.
10. But this sufficeth not the people for
they clamor for another bridge over the
brook that flowth between Browneville and
Girard, for the former bridge Is not, beause
the winds blow and rain descended and the
flood came and washed away that bridge.
It. Anditcoaeth to pass tbit when the
people of the two cities, even Browneville
and Girard, would commune one with tbe
other and buy and sell and gat gain, behold
they cannot, for they bav« no bridge.
12. Now, therefore, let the elder* of the
elty, those that hath wlsdem, devise means
whereby anetber bridge may be speedily
built, for verily the men of thecity are beld
In derision, because ef their slothfaloess In
the matter.
13. And now also let the well which one
erthe fathers of the city digged be finished,
so that when the damsels of the city
cometh to draw water that they may re
plenish their pitchers and give also drink
to the stranger that passeth by.

It will assist cutters in producing Btyle

It is right for every shape, from the
