OF THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY A Mr. Voorhees in his speech in the Senate yesterday on his bill to provide addi- Nonal accommodations for the Congressional Library said that there are in the ltbrary 375,000 volumes while there is only shelt room ‘for 280,000, pane 000 Volumes to be piled on the tloor and stuck away {n nooks and corners. In addition to these volumes there are 120,000 pamphlets and over 6,000 bound volumes of hewspapers, besides a large number of valuabie maps and charts, all of which have to be packed away like dry goods in a crowded sti tor ‘Voorhees Said that if the not in charge of an and ficient’ lbrart s utility would be almos lolly destroyed. Such a thing as a_ retired corner or desk where a member of Congress or anybody else could quietly examine authorities and make notes is an impossibility. Theboxes of bookswhich are constantly being recetved,have to be opened almost under the very feet of Visitors to the Itb- rary. One-fourth of the books are not provided With sheli-room, and when they are called for whole stac st_ be overhauled and dark re- cesses ransacked. Mr. Voorhees made a very strong appeal for proper accomodations, and it was evident that the Senators were very much Impressed by what he sald, with necessity for prompt action, The Senator said, also, that the Want Of proper accommodation for books is causing thedestruction of a great many’ and on the score ofeconomy, better accommodations are demanded.

T. Sherman, of the U. S, army, was married in this city at the present residence of Hon. Mont- gomery Blair, then occupied by Secretary Thomas Ewing, the first Secretary of the In- terior Department, to the daughter of the lat. ter—Ellen Ewing. Their third daughter, Elea- hor Mary Sherman, chose the wedding month of her parents for her own marriage, which oc- curred at their residence last evening, and was in all respects a wedding suited to the youth of the happy young couple who have chosen for themselves, but with the entire approbation of all concerned. Their wedding seemed the loz- ical result of a love romance in harmony with their youth. It is a pleasing reflection that each of the three weddings of the week is an alliance which meets the approval of all those most. nearly Interested, and each couple, while making their own selections unbiased by the preferences of others, have had thetr cholée en- dorsed by relatives and friends. For once the course of true love seems to haye run smooth, and when congratulated last evening that even Mr. ce 7001 “Oh, yes, everything has gone right with us from the first.” “All the world loves a lover,” runs the old saying, which seemed verified last evening, for it was one of the merriest weddings ip nen ie and from first to last all passed off well. Mapy pronounced it one of the most teu wedding entertainments ever given ere. Gen. Sherman’s home on 15th street presented a charming appearance as the guests entered, and he greeted each with his accustomed cordi- ality. He wore the full dress suit of the gen- eral of the army, and all army and navy officers resent wore full dress uniforms. In the par- lors the flowers were prettily arranged, but not in such profusion as to oppress with their fragrance. The mantels were banked with choice blossoms, and stands and vases of flowers were suitabiy pla On one mantel a large floral ship sent by the groom anchored on a sea of roses. Life looks like that to him now. United States flags draped doorways, win- dows and the staircase, and smilax fell over them in festoon. Across the bay window of the front room stretched a bar of green, studded with flowers, from ich depended a marriage bell of “snow bal with a tongue of pink car. nations. General Sherman was assisted in re- ceiving by his brother, Secretary Sherman’ wife@apd his own wifes sisters-in-law, Mrs. Thos. thd Mrs. Chas. Ewing.

It was a very beautiful cere- mony and the group a most picturesque one.

She was clad in a rich white satin and_ bro , Sarlanded with qaue blossoms and white lilacs and embrol- dered in seed pearls.
