ROCKHOLD, Avoca' LOCKWOOD & SBHATTUCK, Red Dak of somebody from whom he expected to get a “‘pointer.” Ou the east side of the corridor, one of the room doors, opening therefrom, stood ajar. And, as the reporter passed, the sound of voices, musical and low, engaged in “‘converse sweet,” struck his ear. He paused for a moment, then called upon the gentleman from whom he expected his news, and returned; finding the door still ajar, and the voices, now merry with laughter, seemingly at- tuned to the notes of a rich-voiced piano over the keys of which some del- icato fingers were moving rapidly. The room was certainly not a private one. It had every characteristic of being a public place. This fact impelled the reporter to enter. HE DOFFED HIS TILE, adjusted his tie, smoothed down the wrinkled front of his massive brow, and was about crossing the threshold when he was tapped gently upon the shoulder. The reporter turned, and the eyes of two old acquaintances met. The reporter was about to explain when the new-comer, anticipating, ing in Tseo. Glad to hear it. Let me escort you.” The reporter and his friend entered, the former found himself in a room fiftcen foet square, The floor was cov- ered with a beautifully linoleum car- pet, the north wall decorated with two beautiful steel engravings, the south wall with two handsome oil paintings; through the wall, by means of three large windows, the apartment was lighted, the rays being tempered by a dark brown shade which was drawn over the windows, Along tue west side of the room stood a black- walnut book-case, decorated and nice- ly carved, and with large plate glass windows and a dozen shelves filled with BOOKS OF VARIOUS SIZES and modes of ornament. At a table immediately in front of the case sat an industrious young lady poring over a mysterious little contrivance con- taining a number of small picces of card-board, Around her were seated a number of young ladies, engaged either in conversation, or making a cursory examination of books which they held, or in giving the numbera found upon the volumes, to the lady at the table. The number thus given was entered upon one of the little piece of card-board above referred to, as also the number found upon a large green card, of one of which each lady in the group seemed to be in possession, Besides these entries upon the card- board, a third, appearing to the re- porter like the ‘‘day and date” was made. Each little card thus inscribed, the date was marked upon the green board, and the latter returned to the lady who temporarily surrendered it for that purpose. Between this group, or circle of ladies, and the book-case, and looking intently at and in a number of the beoks there found, were several other ladies, and a num- ber of gentlemen, of whom, at inter- vals, one would approach the lady at the table, call out a number, as pre- viously described, and stand Ly while the manipulation of the small” cards, and the larger green card was gone through as before. This over, in some instances, the party with the book left the room; in others, he or she, as the case may have been, ad- journed to another section of the aparanant to peruse some magezines or engage in conversation, which was being cheerfully conducted 1in various parts of the room, By this time the nalure of the work which had heen going on had become intelligible to the mind of the re- porter, REPORTERS ARE ALWAYS S0 BRIGH1, and the reporter in question is so par- ticularly bright, that explanation on the part of the latter's guide became unnecessary. The statement, there- fore, o the reporter's conductor that the former had been witnessing the “drawing” and the recording of books in a library was not less gratuitous than appreciated. It struck the writer too that the system of record- ing was very similar to that in prac- tice in the public library in this city He was informed that such was really the case, and that it had but recently been introduced here, and that it was working well, Approaching the book-case, the re- porter’s most gallant and deferential air was assumed, as with bewildering agility of tongue his conductor intro- duced him to the lady at the table and a number of the ladies by whom she was surrounded. A delightful conversation ensued, yivaciously con- ducted on all sides, because ladies and reporters are proverbially most happy and vivacious. They talk of nothing but those subjects that are ‘‘brighvand fair; that ceasless charms impart; of all things high and noble that exalt the generous heart,” 1In this lies the secret of the mutual pleasure which seems to be experienced by writers and ladies when they meet in the so- cial circles. The books in the case were all sizes and values, and in almost every style of decoration. They stood there in gooaly array and commendable num- ber in fictlon, poetry, history, travel of science and religion—*the pre- cious life-blood of the world’s master spirits.” The reporter was shown a number of the choicest works, and in each was noticed on the inside of the front cover the words, ‘‘UNION CATHOLIC LIBRARY,"” FOSTER HOUSBE Capt.

To the writer who had | tever bad an_opportunity of learning or himself, the name of the U, C. 1 A., familiar though it was both to his ves and ears, had been as that of a fledgeling, struggling with the roughly , from which nearly fon and most frequently tbrary association seek cted. As it now appeared tc temper him, it was that of a parent bird, | which, with a well foathered home, might employ iteelf in distant and branching pursuits for the gr advautage of the moemboers of family, Everything in the way of tho ap poiutments of the room, wspecialiy those already mentionod were of first class atyle, workmanehip and material, They were arranged with a keen ap appreciation and & knowledge of the art of decoration. Everythingscemed to be its JUST IN THE PLACE intended 'for it, and where it lent a charm to the features of the room, Running from the east to the west side of the apartment, was a stage about two feet high, upon one end which was disposed a number of chairs, and on the other, a three- cornered Chickering grand piano, par- tinlly encased in a green cover most beautifully and richly embroidered. A gentleman was seated at the inetru- ment, lightly touching its gleaming keys, and suramoning from it a euc- cession of brilliant and mteresting pian- 1ssimos sufliciently audible to retain the attention of her or him who earcd not for conversation, and gave zest to the pleasure of those who were in conversing mood. The writer has not seen a finer nor heard a swecter toned instrument this stde of the Missouri, Taking the REPORTER DY THE ARM, the young gontleman escorted him through a majesticarch, which opened into the “‘south room.” This apart- ment was lighted and shaded like the other, with the addition of several windows on the south. Its walls con- tained some mottos, and a large souvenir of the play of *Waiting for the Verdiet,” which the U. C. L A, dramatic club rendered so acceptably at the Academy of Music the last season. The souvenic consists of a photograph group of the ¢ tors of the pices surrounded by “‘cabinets” of the soveral performers. Bosides these, were two companion pieces, in Dore’s best style, entitled *'1 x,” and “La Guerre.” These pioces have ex- cited universal admiration. Running along the west wall and partly along the north and south walls were racks, upon which were filed somo seven or eight papers, ‘“‘abstracts and briof chronicles of the times,” and at which several gentlemen were standing read- ing the news both of the day and the week that had just past. At a large table in the middle of the room, were seated a number of persons of various agee, pouring over illustrated papers and the latest ““monthlies.” Near one of the windows sat a couple of gentle- men studying out a problem in chess and seemingly oblivious of all save the mimic heroes whom they were mar- shaling in fateful conflict. Others, ladies and gentlemen, were disposed about the room, conversing in low tones, smiling cheerfully, and evident- ly it full appreciation of the pleasure afforded by the rooms for the weekly meeting of congenial friends, Two more pictures, one of which is framed, are soon to be added to the number already decorating the walls. The firet of these will be the “St. Patrick’s cathedral of New York,” covering fifteen square feet; the name of the other is not yet known. Other pictures ara also promised, which, with the aid of decorations and placques now in the hands of the lady members, will make the walls of the associationroom probably as richly and artistically ornamented as those of any association in town. Thus far, it seemed to the reporter, that A GREAT DEAL HAD BEEN DONE to give a stimulus and have a benefi- cial effect upon the mental and moral improvement of the members, He learned subsequently that the society contemplated a monthly sociable during the coming fall, winter and epring, in which vocal and instrumen- tal music, reading, recitations, cssayr, debates, and petite comedies, would at intervals comprise the programmes, Lectures in the ‘“‘dime series” will bo continued, as last year; and it is un- derstood that one lecture or two, out- side that course, by some of the most eloquent lecturers in the field, will also be given, The lectures of the latter kind, already delivered, have been those of Bishops O'Connor and Ryan, the latter of St. Louis, Tt is thought, too, that the ‘‘Verdict” Dra- matic club, who have become known through {his association, will be ablo, | early in the fail, to produce at the opera house Boucicault's play of the “Colleen Bawn.” In which event splendid piece, with a good awaf cunt, will bo tho attaction. The association is in v A FLOUKISHING CONDITION, It has considerable money in its treas. ury, evidently a large number «f hene factors, and, it would eeem, hosts of AUG 3 !lm\u, ‘l‘r«n|.1.u|t.
