The vast majority neip ana receive a pait ui ucucnu - without books, and they will not get books without the Agent, and he can not pell except he be sent. From the humble coljorteur going about doing good, to the more pretentious seller of cyclopaedias, dictionaries, higher litera ture all alike are dispensers of good .put ting the ignorant seeker after knowl edge in touch with a treasury of the accumulations ot ages of the beet minds and hearts the world has evei known. One of the greatest works accom plished by the Book Agent is the very important and paramount work of in ducing persons of limited means to purchase books. A book a week is fifty two books per year, 520 volumes in ten years, a very nice accumulation, a pass ably good library, and yet how few per sons have a tithe of this number ? A few cents per month regularly laid by and invested in good books will soon accu mulate a nice and praiseworthy library, provided it be properly selected, and the person purchasing will hirdly niss the money. Books are not unfrequently sold by agents by the set and delivered by the volume, thus giving the purchaser an opportunity of reading one before the other is out, in this way giving ore a feast of fat things just to suit the pal ate, which like a course dinner one dish whets the appetite for another, and a person in this way reads man- books with the avidity with which an inter esting novel is read. Some philosopher has said the value of books as a means of culture is at this day recognized by all men. Tlie chiet allies and instruments of teachers, they are the best substitutes for teachers, and next to a good school, a veil selec ted library may be classed as a means of education. Indeed a bookis a voice less teacher, and a good library a virtual university. A literary taste is at once the most efficient means of self education, and the purest source of enjoyment the world affords. It brings its possessor into ever-recurring com munion with all that is noblest and best in the thought of the past. The winnowed and garnered wisdom of ages is his daily food. Whatever is lofty, profound or acute in speculation, deli cate or refined in feelings, wise, witty or quaint in suggestion is accessible to the possessor of a library. They en large space and prolong time for him the orators declaim, the essayist writes, the logician reasons and the poet sings all for his pastime and pleasure, from the same source the many and varied literary palates of every reader can feast to his satiety. Do you wish literature, sacred or pro fane, prose, poetry, science, art, fact or fiction, these stand ready to answer any demand that you make. Shall any one say that the active means in bringing libraries into every home in the civilized world are not in every way worthy members of society? Are. they not the masons that lay the brick in the superstructure of every library in the country? Ought they not be called library builders instead of Book Agents? Can any member of so ciety (save perhaps the ministry) be engaged in a higher, nobler and more praiseworthy calling? Is it not the duty of everv good citizen to hear them patiently for their noble cause? Has not many a good book been bought, many a noble sentiment planted in the minds and hearts of the people, which otherwise would have lost its sweetness upon the desert air, but for the assidu ous aggression of this very indispensi- ble class of our citizenship? The good seeds which the Book Agents are daily sowing will germinate, spring up, bear fruit a hundred and a thousand fold ; which would otherwise never seethe light of day never find lodgment in the human mind and heart. The good they do will live -after their dust shall have returned to the earth who gave it. Future generations who will better appreciate their efforts will rise up and call them blessed.

This afternoon the new Senator from North Carolina ! State. She h.i a cuiiiau' -.ft gave his senatorial associate a sample j lw5ny a that of Italy, and a ? of what a firm and determined presiding officer can do, even under the existing rules. The proposition to abrogate the Ha waiian treaty was pending. The Demo cratic managers of the bill were restless :Uld ! :1 ti. h U-rr ilt.il t ; . . b it !.!!r, i'Tf'ij;!il in 1 i: .i!urd.) l Mr J.

Senator Jarvis was in the chair. Senator Harris arose to make his usual motion to "lay the pending amendment ujmhi the table" and Senator Hoar, Dolph and Chandler sprang to their feet simultaneously. In a firm voice Senator Jarvis recog nized the Senator from Tennessee, and with rapidity that would have aston ished even ex-Czar Reed, or Speaker Crisp, he put the question and decided it carried instantly. Senator Hoar was so astounded that he grew red in the face and gasped for breath : his words refused to come at his command. Several other Republi cans were equally astonished at the rapidity of the ruling of the acting president of the Senate, and even the Democrats could hardly realize what had occurred. Finally Senator Hoar, who had regained his breath, but lost his temper, in a voice quivering with suppressed rage took exception to the ruling of the chairman and appealed from his decision. Senator Jarvis with equal quickness decided that a motion to lay on the table took precedence over a motion to postpone. Senator Hoar di tiered with the presiding officer on that point also, and demanded the reading of the rule on the suject. The secretary read the rule, and it was found that the chair had ruled correctly. In the meantime Senator Chandler had entered amotion to adjourn. Senator Hams, the Democratic "ring master," held a hurried consultation with his associates on the finance com mittee, and concluded that such start ling business methods as those of Senator Jarvis were too great a shock to sena torial courtesy and precedents. He hurried over to Senator Chandler and induced him to withdraw iiis motion to lay on the table the pending amend ment so that further debate might proceed. The scene only occupied a few min utes, but in that short time Senator Jarvis demonstrated that a clever par liamentarian with a little nerve may at any time sweep away traditions of the Senate, which now block the busi ness of that august body. Jie nasi frequently remarked that the rules of the Senate are liberal enough if the presiding officer has the courage to do his duty in such an emergency, and to-day was the first opportunity he has had to give his associates tangible proof of the correctness of his assertion. Senator Jarvis's right arm is disabled, but his left is all right, and the way he manipulated the gavel this evening during his brief occupancy of the Vice President's chair will not soon be for gotten by his associates, especially Sen ators Hoar, Dolpn, Chandier and Harris.
