CODICIL.
Whereas, by my last will, I have provided that the
bequests and devises to the Library Company of Phi
ladelphia are to be held under the conditions and re.
strictions therein contained, and any others which I
might thereafter impose; now, therefore, I add ami
impose the following conditions, restrictions, and
directions :
First. One ot my objects In giving my residuary es
tate for the use of the said library company was to
express my respect and regard for my lather-iu-law,
the lute Jacob Kidgwuy, and niv affection for and
gratitude to his daughter Phiebe Ann Iiush, by erect
ing to their memory a monument, us it was from
them 1 derived the greater putt of my property,
which has enabled me to devote, happily and undis
turbed, the latter part of my life to pursuits of wlen
tillc inquiry, which I have designed to be more Im-iic-ticial
than the mere common enjoyment of un
ample fortune; it is both Just ami proper that
I should thus employ 11. me more especially as airs.
Ktish hud led me to believe that if she had survived
me she would have applied It. to asiniilarpurpo.se;
in order to carry out. this Intention, I direct my exe
cutor to have a marble slab, with the following in
scription, placed and maintained on someappropriat
part 01 tne interior rooms 01 tne new i.inrarv com
pany Building, in which my private library and other
personal etlecls are lo in preserved:
: Tux. KmcivAY Bkanch
of the
TIIII i Itl.'t l.lll A I I II U 1 1, V
: A Monument to the Memory or
.lACOll KlIHlKWAV,
: And ol His Daughter,
Mas. I'iiiit.k Ann IU'sii.
Second. I direct mv executor to have inserted in
the act or AssL.ubiv which will be required to carry
out the provisions of inv will and codicils, clauses
enacting:
1. That not more than one-fourth of the directors
of the library shall belong u any one of the three
learned professions of law, theo'logv, or medicine.
1 his clause Is not intended to exclude, any or the
present members from 1 . -elect ion.
. l'liat the number or shares lu the library shall
be limited to those actually issued at the time of my
h. That, the library shall not connect thorn,
solves with any o her body corporate or politic.
'. "lii uii.i iimi my reasons for chooKlntr the
I'hiladelphla Library Company for my residuary le
gatee and devisee are because It, him ulways been
uumiui.ini 41111.UJ urn. i.iiuoii usive y ; stead v niir
n,..., .j. ,,, . niur.ii mien in,ra
ries were established, keeping entirely aloof Irom
1.110 caciwiii in, I'.'iiie n huh 01 otucr means
whereby public bodies mi frequently seek to obtain
an evanescent and mischievous notoriety, and lo
calise, during my early life, I derived great pleasure
and advantage rrom the use of Its books, and from
the readiness ami civility wim which mey were al
wavs furnished mo.
fourth. I understand that the managers of the
Library Company have never applied any of its funds
lo defray the expenses of the very simple refresh
ments of which they are accustomed to par take at
the monthly uiectJbfc'H of tka JJoard, but fiuv e ijiva
I
not
very usual ; and I direct that no part of the Eldgway
branch of the Phlladolnhin. I.oi-Or .h..n ha
used or expended In providing refreshment, lunches
(so-called), feasts, or entertainments, either for
managers, visitors, shareholders, or for any other
persons whatsoever. '
Fifth. I do not wish that any work shoald be excluded
from the library on account of Its difference from
the ordinary or conventional opinion on the subjects
of science, government, theology, morals, or medi
cine ; provided It contains neither ribaldry nor in
decency. Sixth. I give and bequeath all my pictures, my pri
vate library, my manuscripts, copyrights and papers,
and a'so those of my father, Dr. Benjamin Rush, to
the library company.
Seventh. I will arid direct that the library bulldlnir
shall have a basement story of a height not less than
right feet six Inches. The entrance to the front of
the story Immediately above the basement shall be
by a broad flight of stone steps ; other entrances may
be made in such places anil manner as convenience
or necessity may require.
Eighth. If the Library Company should omit or de
cline to accept my residuary estate on the terms and
conditions In my will and codicil, or fall to comply
with any of the preliminary stipulations and direc
tions therein mentioned, then I give and devise the
whole residue of my estate, real and personal, what
soever, and wherever the same may be, after paying
anil securing an tne annuities, neqiiexts, legivios,
and devises other than those to the said Library Com
pany, in this or any future codicil contained, unto
II. .1. Williams.
The remainder of the codicil Is devoted to private
bequests, and is dated May U), 18i;i.
SECOND CODICIL.
I do not desire that, the Library company shall have
an Income greater than is required to provide for thu
legitimate increase of the Library and their current
expenses. I hereby authorize and direct my execu
tor to expend the whole remainder of my estate In
the purchase or a lot and the erection of tin; Library
Building, construction of books, cases, etc., leaving
the said company only nn Income suillclent to defray
the ordinary uud strictly appropriate expenses of
such an Institution.
I have given the copyrights of all my works to the
library company, and i will and desire that they
shall for the next hair-cetiturv publish every ten
years an edition of eight hundred copies of any and
allot them, so that, thev shall always have 011 hand
a sufficient number to supply any demand that may
oe mane ior any or either or them, at, a price not ex
ceeding the cost or publication, ir the library com
pany shall In any respect violate or omit Vi comply
with any of the provisions or the
will, 1 will nnd direct that the
Peiiiisvlvania Compiinv for Insurance on Lives and
Grunting Annuities shall and may apply to the pro
per courts to compel said Library Company to com
ply with the said provisions, or to remove them
from the said trust, and transfer the whole of the
real and personal estate to the said Pennsylvania
Company for Insurance on Lives and Granting An
nuities; or if they shall neglect or refuse to accept
this trust, to some other trust company or the city
of Philadelphia. . xrrta- rziZ
I desire to express still more emphatically than I
have yet done my wish and direction that the library
company sluill never make nny efforts to rival the
other libraries or America or Kurope In the mere
number or volumes they contain.
The codicil concludes' by calling upon the contribu
tors to the library, to elect to the maimgement, ir
they can be round, at least one or two persons ot
mnrral knmrh-ihie; men or more than College and
High School educaflon, with broid observation, re
flection and taste, and liberal thoughts; not secta
rian to any of the professions, nor to the giins of
uaucHiKi speculation; not those who nave been
called "men of good choice," and who may havs
wider views In government ami selection than are
commonly taken by the conventional and popular
1 11.11 in ei ui iuusi puoiic oenencianes.
This was signed April 17, is07.
THIRD CODICIL.
The last codicil was written April 12, 1 Stilt, and is
very short, and relates to private matters.

THE STREETS.
Work or the t'omruclorn un to the tut of June.
According to tlieterins of their contracts, the
various parties who undertook the cleaning of our
public streets were to have them thoroughly broomed
anil shovelled by June 1, or else receive no pay.
ruder the new nviiin; the Board or Health having
control of the matter, these terms tire to be strictly
Iraki.
11 by to-morrow, or rather to-morrow night, since
the contractors claim as Included the first, day or
June, the streets are not siiillclontlv void of mud and
tilth, then the 'iitleniau who bid for uud obtained
the Jobs(muy w histle for their tiionev. The Board
can't aiford to be lenient while the health of the city
largely depends upon the purity of the streets, and
therefore the various contractors may expect no
mercy. And some of them a minority to, be sure
juuging irom pieccm appearances, win be round not
veil within the chalk, when the sun dins to-morrow
afternoon.
ui course we are sorry for them, but still must sav
that unless they had been sure of performing the
work in the time specilied, they should never have
undertaken it. The districts are all to be Inspected
prior to the issuance of the pay warrants, and must
pass such inspection in order to receive such war
rants.
The districts that will more than likely get through
are the Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth,
i'.leventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Six
teenth, and I'.ighteenth. Those that will probably
not pass muster ure the First, Fourth, Kighth, Ninth,
r liteentii, ami scventeent 1. it mav tie. however.
that some which ure counted all right may not be
found so, and l ice ivmi. But thu neonle mav be as
sured that the lioaid of Health Is doing its duty in
the matter.

crowded with Koods, aud he enjoyed locomotion, but
weakness and the conlined air dually overcame him,
and he slept profoundly until the hatches were re
opened on Wednesday morntnir after arrival. The
fiebh air revived him, and, as the stevedores de
scended, he was discovered, but was unable to stand.
He had been nearly nine days without eating. Tea

on Saturday evening, after the performance,

nlcasaiit state of feeling had existed between Mr,
Geonre Butler, a nephew of General 11. K, Hutler,
and .Mr. Henderson, who Is understood to bo the
husband of Miss l.vdia Thompson. Articles con

some of Mr. Hutler' strictures. Mr. Hutler was
Informed of this, and, not pleased with thu tone of

state that this account is given on the authority of

His Farewell to Englnori.
On the 1 ith Instant the Mavorof Southampton re.
celved the following letter from Mr. Keverdy John
son in reply to an Invitation to a bantpiet before his
departure from that port for America:
London, May 10, lMKt sir: The hospitality of th
inhabitants of Southampton tendered me a bantpiet,
to take place on such day as I might name, prior to
my departure from Lnglund for America 1 would
gladly ana giateiiiuy accept 11 l could; but my en.
gageineuts are such that I find it impossible to do
so. From the moment of my arrival In this country
to the present time, I have used my best efforts to
cultivate in your people a friendly feeling for the
1'nited States, and I have reason to lielleve that In
this 1 have not failed. The present Invitation eon
firms me in this opinion, a I shall leave Kng
ta ml with the conviction that the people aie(
her government consider that, a war be
tween the two countries would be as
dire a calamity us could befall them ; and this I have
no doubt Is also the conviction of my Government
and the people of the Cuited Sta.cs. For a few days,
owing to recent occurrences to which It, is only ne
cessary to allude, apprehensions were entertained
that sttcn a mtslortune might occur. These I am
gratified to tlnd have already ceased to exist. I shall j
return, therefore, to my homo with the assurance
that the amicable relations between the two nation :
are not to be seriously disturbed. This not happen
ing, the career of both will necessarily be even more
prosperous in the future thau it has been iu the past, -
ami tne cause of iree government, ne placed on a
tinner foundation than ever. With my iiost wishes
to you, Mr. Mayor, aud to your corporate authori

with high regard, your obedient servant.
