Crowded Conf'rOoii'.orsal ancl Depart
ment Libraries.
1 YajJt t'on. f.Vtr I7- t'rhtnd F'l'n'n I*f alrr.
The great Congressional library which
bulges out on all sides of its contracted quar
ters iri the eapitot Lias been described and
discussed at length in all the grades of pub
lications from the ephemeral newspaper to
the more enduring book. Comparatively
few stop to consider that the most valuable
libraries owned by the government and
stored in Washington are those belonging
to the various departments. There are
bOO.UOO volumes, pamphlets, etc,, in the
great collection at the capital. But there
is the last place in the world the investiga
tor should go when he desires to examine
into any particular question exhaustively.
The cataloguing is incomplete and ineffl
cient. Librarian Spofford is unable to tell
•what he has and what he has not. The li
brary is exceedingly rich in Americana,
such as literature relating to Washington
and all the early governmental history. It
is rich in history, genealogy and, of course,
is an immense collection of books on all
subjects. The co yright law has aided in
senchug all new American publications into
the library. But the alcoves have become
so crowded that for years Congress has ap
propriated very niggardly for the purchase
of books. It therefore results that the vast
and indispensable literature of other coun
tries is not accumulating in this national
collection. There are from time to time
public and private sales in this country of
rare and valuable libraries, but Mr. Spof
ford has had no money with which to be
come a bidder, and in many can s he has
been forced to ignore proffers of bargains
because he does not know what the library
has in it. The card catalogue is wretchedly
incomplete. In fiction there is wonderful
accumulation. When the new building is
completed the arrangement will possibly
make this great library available. More
assistants will be needed.
But it is iu the departments where the
specialist will roam to fiud authorities and
literature concerning his particular line of
research. There are 350,000 volumes iu
these various collections, not counting the
{senate and House of Representatives libra
ries, in which are 175,000 more. In the State
Department there are about 25,000 volumes.
The branch of diplomatic law is complete
in all languages. It is in these technical
subjects that the Congressional library is
weak. It is omnifarious but also promiscu
ous and incomplete. The State Department
has rare collections of history, and espe
cially colonial. All biography’of statesmen
of all lands who have had to do with diplo
matic relations can be found in this care
fully selected library. Mr. Dwight, the
librarian, while abroad had to be stopped in
his way of buying books right anil left.
The nucleus of this collection was marie by
Thomas Jefferson. Works on travol also
abound.
The War Department has a useful library.
Joel R. Poinsett, when Secretary, gave it
wise direction. Its technical works on mili
tary science are astounding in n mber. It
also is rich in biography and travels, and
the clerks have a good general cofiection of
reading matter on its shelves to select from.
The Navy Department library occupies
the most beautiful room in the city. Its
decorations far surpass the President's room
in thecapitolandauy of the far-famed rooms
in the White House.with particolored uphol
stery. This I.brary room has lofty vau.te 1
ceilings with bronze statuary and symboli
cal decorations. The sides are panels of
beautiful ruantelic marble. The books are
unique. The librarian is Prof. Souley,
formerly of the Annapolis Academy, whose
historian he is. Among all the librarians
he is the most accomplished and has labored
with the most intelligence to secure a useful
collection. Few people comprehend the
scientific requirements in the many braneht s
of naval science an 1 warfare. A navy is
for fighting purposes solely. It must al
ways be kept at the highest pitch of excel
lence. Precise knowledge of the naval
achievements of other nations must be ac
quired and dally refreshed and maintained.
Knowledge of gunnery, * armor, harbors,
meteorology, equipment, steam engineering,
the resistance of metals—well, in fact,
nearly every branch of mechanics, chemis
try, everything in the broadest sense of
iihysics, is a matter of constant study in the
iavy Department. The study of naval
construction involves not only the archi
tecture of the sea, but leads into the study
of woods. Well, here in this gorgeous mar
ble room, rarely invaded by the sightseer,
is an accumulation of just such technical
works. It will simply amaze even the ordi
narily versed reader of books to examine
the array of volumes in the alcoves. Many
ran be procured nowhere for money. They
were printed for private circv lation and
many are from foreign countries where
titled or wealthy men have contributed the
results of their researches in naval science.
Upon no less than filflf distinct subjects re
lating to a navy there is an exhaustive cuj-
lection of treatises. There are few antique
works: it is a library for constant reference.
One unique book is a copy of the republica
tion bv the British Admiralty Office in IS4~,
when Great Britain expected another French
w ar. of the committee’s report on the causes
of the defeat and dispersal of the Spanish
Armada in the sixteenth century. This is
illustrative of how peculiar a science naval
warfare is. Here are to be found large en
f ravings of all the vessels in foreign fleets,
n the patent office there are 50,000 volumes
and it is beyond comparison the finest li
brary of its kind in the world. Its liatui e
is readily suggested by its location. Here is
where cranks, geniuses and inventors bur
row, and here is where marplots search for
some old cut or description of a machine in
old foreign books that may harass some
American inventor with their knowledge of
a prior suggestion of the mechanism con
tained iu some forgotten work, and thus
compel hush money or a partnership.
The Surgeon General’s office has also 50,-
000 volumes, and it is only sui iu ex
cellence by some library of surgery in Ger
many, I believe. It is a wonderful collec
tion of treatises on surgery and general
medicine. The civil war endowed this li
brary with a marvelous number of special
reports on wounds. There are valuable
libraries in the bureaus of education, agri
culture, coast survey, geological survey,
and in the Interior and Treasury Depart
ments there is enough of fiction to supply
the sweet clerks with romances. The de
partment of Justice has a law library that,
though not so large as the law branch of
the Congressional library (which has 63,0 X)
volumes), has many exclusive works. Caleb
Cushing obtained for this collection inval
uable Spanish and Mexican law books,
which are necessary in working on the old
bind claims in the California and territorial
acquisitions from Mexico. Some of these
tomes are attractive objects, net for their
beauty of binding, but the peculiar neatness
of the typog. aphy. The coverings are the
old-fasliioned sheepskins, yellow and greasy
and loose, like the modern school boy covers
his book with a folded newspaper. Though
the library at the capitol is exhaustive iu its
collection of State reports and crown trials
and criminal cases in all countries, yet the
Supreme Court justices have constant re
course to this collection in the department
of Justice for works that it exclusively con
tains. It may be years before this nation
can accumulate a library as grand as the
British museum, but many cherish the hope
that when the new structure is completed
the labor in that direction may be accele
rated. Even that old bookworm, Dominie
Sampson, would now ejaculate his favorit)
expletive of “prodigious,” were he to stand
among the groaning plenitude of books in
this city, but it is easy lo discover the lines
of literature where there is woeful defi
ciency. In the fine arts there is a lamenta
ble scarcity. The maguificent foreign works
upon which unstinted mon y has lieen ex
pended are not to be found here. The am
bition can never be realized of rivaling the
libraries abroad in their collections of origi
nal manuscripts and ancient purchments,
for their foundations and the recovery of
these w ritings of antiquity were contempo
raneous. And it may well be accepted as
consolatory that the American spirit does
not much affect a fondness for the musty,
but it ought to bran Ame:lcau
resolution to keep abreast of modern litera
ture and store here in a government librarv
tue entire output of intellectual effort iu all
countries.
A STATESMAN WANTED THU DOG.
But His Boy Charley Had Good Reason
For Nor Letting Him Have It.
From the Few York Sun.
Harrisburg, Nov. -Its.—The Hon. C. W.
Williamson of Saladasburg is one of the
members of the Pennsylvania Legislature
from Lycoming county. There are two
members from Lycoming. One of them is
a large-waisted old gentleman, with a not
very extended acquaintance with the inside
of books. He has' never rubbed ngaiust the
world much, and being a trifle new in legis
lation the boys had a good deal of fun with
him last session.
“Pop,” said the Hon. George McGowan,
President of the Philadelphia American
Club, to this ornament from Lj coming,
“what penalty do they inflict on suicide up
in Lycoming?”
In dead earnestness the innocent old legis
lator replied:
“They give ’em three months, I b’lieve,
but, go! dang ’em! I’m in favor o’ two
years?”
But this member wasn’t the Hon. C. W.
Williamson of Salad is urg. That states
man is up to snuff, and if there is ever any
“snake” in a hill it won’t bite hi n. He
mingles statecraft with lumber, agricul
ture, and a country store, and finds his
recreation in chasing the deer in the wild
wood and hunting coons. He has a sou
Charles. Charles is rising 16, and is a stub
and-twist specimen of the true backwoods
boy
“Charley,” said the Hon. C. W, William
son the other day, “from the way the
weather looks I believe there’s a deer over
back of the mountain. Seems to me as if it
was a buck.”
“Well, pop,” replied Charley, “let’s take
the dog and go fetch the deer in.”
“Why, that’s so!” said the statesman,
as if the suggestion was a sudden revela
tion to him. “We can do that, can’t
we?”
So he took down his gun, called the dog,
and he and Charley started for the moun
tain, three miles away. Charley carritxl no
gun, it being his duty to handle the dog and
drive for deer, while his father stood on the
ridge at a runway and put lead in the deer
when it hounded by. But Charley had a
big hunting knife in a sheath at his sido.
The knife was to cut the deer’s throat with
after the animal had been weighed down
with lead by the statesman hunter, aud to
dress the deer with when it was hung up.
When they reached the mountain Charley's
father stationed himself on a run
way, and sent Charley off to the right
of the ridge to start the deer from its hiding
place.
“Start a buck, Charley, or a big doe,”
said the statesman w ith the gun. “Don’t
waste time on any fawns.’’
Charley went off with the dog, and he
hadn’t gone more than a hundred yards
yards when the dog struck a trail and away
he went. Charley followed, and in less than
ten rods came up to the dog. It might have
been a deer track the dog had struck, but
if it was it had led plumb up against a six
foot bear, and the six-foot bear - had his b; ck
against a rock and his eye on the dog. The
latter, emboldened by the presence of ins
master, pitched into the bear. The bear
welcomed him to his embrace, gave him a
couple of squeezes, and tossed him off with
such vim and precision that his limp
and almost dessicated carcass just missed
Charley's head. The dog was extremely
dead.
“S-a-a-y!” said Charley, as if re
monstrating with the bear. That was
pop’s best dog, and he’ll be madder’n thun
der !”
Just then the voice of the statesman on
the runway, mellowed by distance but very
distinct, came down through the woods. It
said:
“Hay, Charley! Corns up with that dog,
quick!”
“Well,” said Charley, addressing the bear,
“if he expects me to c. rry that dog up
this ridge ne’s mistaken. But won’t be be
mad?”
All this time the bear stood with his back
to the rock, his eyes snapping and his mouth
dropping foam. Charley looked at the un
joiuted body of his dog, and then surveyed
the proportions of its unterrified unjointer.
The latter got tired of waiting, and moved
forward to clear the woods of Charles.
Charles unsheathed his big hunt ng knife
and braced himself.
“Hav, Charley?” came the voice down
from tile ridge, and this time there was im
patience in it. ‘Whydon’t you come up
with that infernal dog?”
“I hain’t got time to explain that to
pop just now,” said Charley, in a com
fidential tone, to the bear, “and I hain’t
a goin’ to scare you by hollerin’ back to
him.”
The bear didn’t seem to care wbethpr
Charley bad time for explanation or not, and
wasn’t on the scare, lie reached out for
Charley with one right paw. Charley
lounged forward and socked his knife in the
bruin’s neck. Bruin countered on Charley's
chest and sent him sprawling on the ground.
The bloo i spurted from the hole made by
the knife in the bear’s neck. As Charley fell
the voice of the hunter was again heard on
the hill.
“Hay, Charley!” it said. “Why in thun
der don’t you come up with that dog!”
Charley w as too busy to answer ju t then,
for be hail all he could do to get to his feet
before the bear climbod on him. The boy
and the bear had a lively tussle, bnt it was
a short one. The first stab the bear re
ceived was fatal, and two other thrusts
equally' go'd let out still more blood, but
when the bear fell in its death struggle
Charley was tired out. He leaned up
against a tree to get his wind. Then he
head his father coming down off of the
ridge, crushing through the brush like a
wild steer.
“He’s mad,” panted Charley.
“Hav, Charley!” the Hon. C. W. William
son shouted, as he came down the hill.
“What in thunder’s the matter? Where’s
that dog? Why don’t you come up with him?
A buck bigger n a heifer went by me, and
here I hadn't got any dog! Why don’t you
come up with that dog?”
Then the statesman hove in sight of his
boy, leaning against the tree and gasping
for wind. He didn’t see the bear that lay a
few yards the other side. Charley’s father
came up all standing.
“ What in the name of Nimrod’s the mat
ter with you?” lie gasped.
Charley pointed to the bear.
“Great Scott!” howled the statesman, and
he made for the nearest tree.
“He’s—he’s —dead."said Charley. “Sois—
the dog. That’s the—reason—l didn’t—
come up with him.”
Then the statesman looked the bear over,
and mourned for the dog.
“We weren’t hunting bear, Charley,” said
he deprecatingly. “Deer was what we
! tarted out to get, St i.l we’ll take home our
game. But you ought to have come with
that (log, Charley, and holy smokes, what a
buck we’d have got!”
The Hon. C. W. Williamson and the boy
Charley toted the bear home, and then the
sta estnau went out among his friends and
said:
“Why don’t you come over and see
the slamming big boar me and Charley
killed?”
A Wonderful Food and Medicine.
Known and used by physicians all over the
world. Scott’s Emulsion not only gives
flesh and strength by virtue of its own nu
tritious properties, nut creates an appetite
for food that builds up the wasted body. “I
have been using Scott’s Emulsion for seve
ral years, and am pleased with its action.
My patients say it ls pleasant and palalab e,
and all grow stronger and gain flesh from
the use of it. 1 use it in all cases of wasting
diseases, and it is specially useful for chil
dren when nutrient medication is needed, as
in marasmus.” T. W. Fierce, M. D.,

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1887.
CHARLES DICKENS, JR.
Has Not as Many Impressions Regard
ing America as his Faiher Had.
From the Few York Sun.
The latest spark in the trail of genius
which is scintillating in America is Charles
Dickens, Jr. He is rather a prolific spark—
he has eight children. Only one of the
troup accompanies him on his American
tour. Mr. Dickens has been here several
weeks, and to the writer it occurred that l.e
might have his own impressions of the
country,' that might or might not agree with
those expressed by his illustrious sire. Bo
tii writer bunted for Mr. Dickens aud ran
him down iu t he parlor of an up-town hotel.
He is a well-formed, hearty, easy-going
looking fellow of about 38, a good six feet in
height, with that peculiar old-country
fleshiness which is not our fatness, a round
looking expression of forehead and head like
his father—but that is all—merry, un
thoughtlul, aftei-dinner-looking eves that
look toward but not at you, the way our
men do; a straight unaggressive nose, and a
sandy moustache for which his hair is a
darker match.
He has all the ah - of a big, pleasant school
hoy, and that indescribable vacillating
quality of manner which leaves you in doubt
whether to expect rebuff or compliment in
the coming sentence. Neither disturbs the
even complaisance of his discourse, however,
aud you come away wondering what led
you to expect it. His drossing has the effect
of the “heist suit on” of the good schoolboy
at last day exercises, neither tweed nor
broadcloth, hut an expression of both, and
he acts as though he longed to put las hands
in his pockets, lint knew better tlmn to be
caught at it. He is master of a school of
politeness, particularly un-American, which
makes gallantry and good manners duties
based on principle, rather than pleasures
called forth by the special charms of the
particular person on whom they are be
stowed. He does not anticipate mentally,
but follows easily, not. ungracofu ly aud
very graciously. ' His observation of people,
places and things, while quite extended, is
not at all critical. He visits many places
without seeing them, and lias no inducement
to lead him to examine closely into details.
The principal objects of interest to him
have been hotels, depots, and his audiences,
if pressed c'psely as to the most needed im
provement in anything he has seen, he would
say: “Rave the streets of New York, and
seat people comfortably who travel through
them in public conveyances.” Public dis
comfort is keenly felt by foreigners, while
private living is the equal of anything in
the older countries.
Mr. Dickens thinks that New York is very
much like Paris, and that Boston has quit"
au English air. American hotels he finds
exceed ngly well mauaged, comfortable,
neat, prompt in service, and well furnished,
but “Oil dear me, no, they can’t cook, not one
of them! I don’t know what is the matter,
whether it is the cooking or the seasoning,
or the materials, but nothing tastes right
There’s something wrong with it all—it’s
bad, that’s all that can lie said.”
fab.e etiquet e, he find, good, generally,
except for tne “beastly practice” of bring
ing on all kinds of viands together, or so
nearly so that “a man sees the next while
eating the last.” He condemns the indecent
haste with which meals are brought on and
dispatched. He regards a meal time as a
period for leisurely, pleasant discourse, taste
ful sequences of phy ical enjoyment and
dainty attention to details of taste aud re
finement; a social service iu which the di
ning room is the temple,the waiters re verent
and efficient priests, and the partakers re
spectful and decorous worshipers. Instead
of that they are made rude parentheses of
action to be kicked into and out of sight as
hastily as possible as so much wasted time.
He finds excellent stage accommodations,
comfortable halls, and weli-fmuished
lecture rooms. The platform species of
entertainment is much more of an institu
tion and better provided for here than in
England. He is much pleased with his
audiences as he finds them. They are
decidedly less demonstrative than in
European cities, but no less appreciative.
He says it is all bosh talking about American
audiences and English; that if placed before
them without any previous knowledge he
could not himself tell which was which.
This is especially true of all the large cities.
He does not find in looks of American men,
women, and children those marked
differences from English people which
writers are wont to assert. He can not
classify as to nationality. An intelligent,
refined woman, or an intellectual manly
man looks the same whether on this or that
side of the Atlantic ocean. Inferior people
look so the world over. He regards people
as humanity differing only in conditions.
ONE CUBE FOB HEADACHE.
Opening a Man’s Skull and Extracting
a Tumor,
From the New York Times.
A somewhat extraordinary cure for head
ache was resorLerl to at the New York Hos
pital on Thursday, when Prof. R. F. Weir
and two assistant professors went hunting
about inside the cranium of a patient for a
suspected tumor, and were finally rewarded
witn the i ascovery of something that looked
abnormal, and which, tbe operator declared,
must necessarily be a tumor, and which was
accordingly removed after the heroic opera
tion known as trephining had been accom
plished. Yesterday afternoon the man at
the desk in the hospital office, on Fifteenth
street, cautiously acknowledged to a re
porter that the man from whose brain an
abnormal something “which must be a
tumor” had been removed was doing as
well as “could be expected,” but, although
he subsequently insisted than be was doing
“quite well,” it was evident that publicity
about the surgical feat was not being nearly
so eagerly sough, as shortly after the opera
tion took place.
The patient, a man 35 year of age, be
low the medium size, ha, been complaining
of headache and partial paralysis, and the
professor in charge decided that he had a
tumor iu the motor region of the brain, and
proceeded, with the assistance of two medi
cal brethren and four trained nurses, to
hunt it down. A semi-ci "cular flap of the
scalp was lifted, after which the trephine
was applied to the skull above the left tem
ple, and a button of bone removed. An
important artery w as cut in the operation—
a complication which is very seldom heard
of in connection with trephining—and the
patient was l leeding to death fast, and
would have done so, the surgeons be ng
unable to stop the hemorrhage, bad not a
nvans of relief commonly employed in
Bellevue llosyital been tried as a last report
with completely satisfactory results.
The patient’s life having been saved, the
hunt for the tumor was begun, and after the
dura mater had been re noved it was found
that the brain cortex beneath was somewhat,
redder than usual, and that it felt rather
tii mer than was expected. It was decided
that an abnormal growth was present, and
that it necessarily must be the tumor they
were hunting for. It was accordingly re
moved from the brain, the bleeding from
the wound was stanched, and all w r as done
to make tbe patient, who had, of course,
been etherized before the operation began,
as comfortable as possible.
It is claimed that a very bright surface,
which resembles a mother-of-pearl finish,
may lie given to paper by pursuing the fol
lowing directions: Avery concentrated
cold solution of salt is mixed with dextrine,
and a thin coding of the fluid laid on tbe
surface oi the paper by roe ns of a broad,
soft brush. It is then allowed to dry. Tro
most advantageous salts are sulphate of tin,
sulphate of magnesia and acetate of soda.
It is necessary for the paoer to bo seized
first, or it will absorb the liquid and prevent
crystalline formations.
