TnE Mercantile Library.—To-mor
row, between the hours of 9 A. M, ancl 8 p, M., a
•stock vote, will be taken by the Mercantile Library
Company upon the following questions:
Ist. Duplication of stock within the year 1861.
2d. Increasing the annual dues of the stockholders
•to three dollars.and of subscribers to five dollars, on
and.after January i; 1864.
A number of the Board of Managers are of the
• opinion that an increase of stock by gratuitous dis
tribution of shares without some corresponding in
crease of receipts other than the $2 annual dues,
'would be at ‘best a very , doubtful success. . The
library does not support itself upon the annual dues
alone,and an increased number of members will make
the deficiency still greater. If-the duplication of
•shares alone iB resolved upon, the library will, as a
necessary consequence, lose all its subscribers $ and
"who, by paying $2 per annum instead of $4, will
''make a net loss of $625. It will aIBO at once cause
•sales of stock to cease from the deelc, which
amounted in total during the past three years to
$4,493. The expenditures, Avill, of course, be in
creased, for binding,and the books, from more
frequent'andconstant use, must depreciate. The
, supply of books, . so far from satisfying thepresenr
demand,, will still less satisfy a list of members per
' hapß double in number. ‘
-If,however, with duplication an addition of $t is
inade'to the annual dues of both stockholders and
• ,eubacribers,the change will be beneficial. It will ex
tend the! benefits of the library largely, and at' the
-same time provide funds for-a very-considerableaug
mentation of books. ,It will, eaable the Board to
purchase prpbably 6,000 volumes in a single year, or
' possibly more, instead of. 1,350 as in. 1862.
according to the number of sharesdu plicated. Ana
the other privileges of the library can be kept up in
E coper ratio, and this success will not be. transitory,
ut will continue from year, to year.* Thestocloof
books can thus' be doubled in five years, and tre
bled in ten. Y, ■
It mu fit observed that this will entail very
little additional expense on each stockholder, for
the-value of-the additional* share standing in hie or
her name will pay it for several years; and besides
if the ÜBe of the library, twenty.years ago, was
i worth s34js it not worth ‘ far more now, when the
number of books has increased three-fold, and-tne
other advantages created'? At present; salaries,
taxes, gaß, and water bills, etc., mußt be paid, ana
only the surplus can go to the purchase of books.
An additional dollar a year from each member will
be all surplus. In connection with this subject, we
might state that there are but four stock or sub
scription libraries in this country larger than the
Mercantile Library of Philadelphia. - They are—
The Boston Athenteum, 70,000 vols., shares;.s3oo 00
Life Subscription., 100 00
Annual subscription, without the right to
. take out books, but merely the right to
read in the library room, per., annum.. ..'..
Stockholders, and Life Subscribers, may take
- out books by paying additional, per annum 500
The'Philada, Library, 64,900 vols., shares 40 00
, Ahnua1^Due5...............4 00
The New York Mercantile Library stands third,
67,696 vols. /
To clerks, initiation fee.....
To clerks, dues per annum.
To all others, without right to vote or "hold
r office
This library, previous to 1862, charged clerks
$2 5 but notwithstanding.their large revenue from
the it was.found to be impossible to
come up to the requirements of an institution of the
kind without raising the dues of clerks to $3 per
annum.
Tbe. New York Society Library numbers
' volumes. Entrance fee (not trans
ferable, and therefore of less value than
; vßtock.-
Annual dueß,.
•..Or per annum, with no entrance fee..
In connection with the Library is a reading-room,
in which are taken* fifty*nine periodicals and ten
newspapers. .
..The only other Mercantile Libraries of which we
have any published accounts, and their charges, are
as follows .*
Mercantile Library of Baltimore.—Number of
volumes, 14,060; annual dues, $3 and $5.
. Mercantile Library of St. Louis.—-Number, of
volumes; 13,610; stock or entrance fee, $2 for clerks,
$6 all others; annual dues, $3 and life mem
bers, $lOO. *. ;• ;
Mercantile Library of San Francisco.—Number
of volumes, 6,135; stock or entrance fee, $25; annual
dues, $3;
Mercantile Library of Bangor.—Number of
volumes, 4,600; annuaL dues, $5.
Mercantile Library of New Orleans,—Stock.or
entrance fee/$5; annual dues, $5.
Mercantile Library of Portland. Number of
1,650; stock or entrance fee, $2; annual
dues, $2. .
In the last mentioned, economy carried out.to
parsimony, prevails, the salary of the Librarian
being $35 per annum, and the asßistant‘s2s.
There are in the United States but 13 other sub
scription. Libraries, possessing 10,000 volumes/and
they all, with two exceptions, charge from $3 to $lO
per annum, dues. Of the exceptions, one is open
only on Wednesdays and Saturdays, from ten to
one o’clock, and its gross expenditures annually for
periodicals is $2O/ As to the other, (Albany Insti
tute), no statistics of expenses are published. There
Is also a Circulating Library in this city with 8,000
volumes, which charges $5 per annum.
Philadelphia Populations.—it is very
interesting to notice the population and the number
of houses in this city and in its suburbs, as they
have increased and decreased with the influencing
fluctuation of the period. The following statement
will give a correct-idea of*theae between 1683 and
1860, embracing about one hundred and eighty
years. The blanks indicate those years in which it
was not possible to obtain an accurate calculation;

•V It will be.of interest to mark the decrease of popu
lation between ,the years 1769 and 1777, when : the
bloody revolution raged, and to imagine a like re
sult between the years 1863 and whatsoever year
shall end the war now raging. The population in
1860, by the then twenty-four wards, also affords food
for contemplation:

The Tom Thumb Mania. —To all who
have Been Tom Thumb, and to all who want to Bee
him, it, may seen) superfluous to mention one word
* in liia praise or to his discredit/ Neither the one nor
the other is necessary. His stature is small, and it
; follows that hia reputation is large. His wife sug
gests that the best goods are done up in the smallest
bundles. She .reminds one of Eve dwindled down
into the size of Titaniaf Of the two attendant sa
tellites what might, could, would, or should be said?
Bride, bridegroom, bridesmaid, and groomsman look
like specimens of magnified nonentity. Whether
they study to please or : not, they do please.
The crowds which hourly besiege their hotels, and
. even their private rooms, testify to this. Ladies
with embroidered (lace) bosoms ; girls with horti
cultural hair, gutta peroha feet, and seductively
low-shouldered (low-necked) dresses; little boys
with stiff broad collars, bethumbedand dirty, like
dog-eared leaves; fair young gentlemen, with sym
metrically parted hair, ana saffron-hued pants;
ladies with spring bonnets, and hotel-keepers with
spring chickens; loafers with quids, policemen with
billies, and lovers with billet-doux, and a thousand
men congregate: hourly, and stand and stare. The
- buff-and-blue coachmen, with" flaxen wigs, and
and crimson velvet breeches ; the little bit of a car
riage, luxuriantly complete in its'extemalandinter
.✓nal arrangements; the demure little ponies travel
ling along, to ÜBe a mixed metaphor, like a “ fish out
of water.” 'These complete a tout ensemble infinitely
interesting to the looker-on, and to the parties
immediately interested. The swaying to.aha fro of
the crowd; the mere fact of their browning them
nelveß in the sun; the romance attending the incom
ings and outgoings of the little creatures creating all
the excitement, are something to wonder at, if not
to admire.

a Are occurred in a frame stable In the use of Isaac
Hynemah, on the south side of Miller’s court, run
ning from Eighth to Garden streets, above Willow.
' The flames spread quickly, and: the fresh south
breeze blew them against arow of.seventwo-and-a
’half-storied brick dwellings, on the north side of the
'court. The Are seized these dwellings, and; burned
"furiously. The occupants were glad to fly and leave
their effects behind. Five of the dwellings were al
toost entirely destroyed, but the other two cacapcd
with comparatively slight loss. Some of the ooou
pants of the dwellings had very good furniture. One,
a Mr Low, had a library valued at $3OO, which he
had been all his life collecting. All was destroyed,
for none of the tenants had any insurance: upon
their movables. Mr, Hyneman had, in his stables,
everal watering carts, used for sprinkling the streets.
They were destroyed, and': involve a loss of $1,200,
‘ upon which thSh was ah insurance of $5OO. The

pots, sugar - and slop bowl. The designs include,,
among delicate tracery, in the highest style of art,
all the insignia of the camp and the battle-field.

pond. Anciently, it was customary for thoEie who
were baptized on this Sunday, to .attire themselves
in white, and tile day wab then called White Sunday;
Dominica Alba, ox Dominicdin Albis. The derivation,
however, has been variously sought from
octave, tne eighth from Easter. Tlie holy memories
connected with thiß period, are such as. elicit .the
prayer and praise of all religious hearts, and be
speak the reverent attention of the community in
feneral. The anniversary of the Jewish feast of
’entecost, when the Apostles were ‘‘ baptized with
the Holy Ghost, and with-fire,” and ,when they

in most cases the bones had crumbled into dust, and
but little of the remains of the dead was discovered.

Juvenile Incendiaries.
. George Baiers, aged eleven years, and Richard Lutz
were arraigned, at the Central Station on Saturday eve
ning, by Fire Marshal Blackburne, on the charge of
setting fire to the stable of Henry H. Miller, on -Eighth
street, below Noble. <The?c boys were seen in the stable,
by Mrs. Anna Lice, who‘ lives close to the stable, a few
minutes before the fire broke out. The youthful delin-
Suenta finally admitted they set fire to the place because
ley desired to seethe engines play. This ia the old story
on the part ofboys of tender years, who have done such
things before. The little boy Lutz, when he became to
be made aware of tbe calamitythat followed, because he
simply wanted -to see the engines play, seemed to be
very penitent indeed. The other boy was indifferent,
.probably hot having brains enough to -understand .the
extent of the -disaster, that followed. Alderman• Beitler
committed the accused to prison; refusing bail, because/
under the. re vised penal code, that must be entered be
fore the judges of the court, in case of arson and other
high crimes. • >

THE,PHILADELPHIA CLUB DIFFICULTY—DECISION- OF THE
COURT—MR. .EVANS REINSTATED.
Commonwealth earre?. -Rowland E. Evans vs.- The
Philadelphia- Club. On Saturday.Judge^Allison-der,
livered the opinion of the court on the demurrers hied to
the return of the defendants to the writ of alternative
mandamus issued in this case;
’ The court decide that every corporation possesses the
power of disfranchisement, 1 except those m-whieha pe
cuniary interest attaches to the membership of.the body;
even when no such power is reserved-in the charter or
can be claimed by proscription. W . :
; But on .the particular point’raised in this case;- to,wit,
the form of the expulsion, the court say:
The sole ground on-which the expulsion of the relator
is based is his refusal to' resign from the club on the re
quest of the Board of Directors; Does the charter autho
rize disfranchisement for this cause? We think ifcdoes
hot, for itfitself it is neither infamous, nor is it indictable,
nor is it against a member’s duty as a corporator to re
fuse to re'Bign., , -
It is true the return, amongother things,sefcsupthat, at
themeetihgatwhichtheexpulsion took place, thecircum
-stances of the case wcre.fully discussed. TThe question na
turally arises whatcase is here referred to—the offence
against the peace and good order of the cluh room,or the
refusal of the relator to resign from the club? ; irthe for-,
roer, then the by-law restricting the meeting ofthe cor
porators to the consideration of the subject specified in
the notice was disregarded; if the latter,. namely, .the
refusal of the relator to resign, then we are clear in our
opinion the cause of expulsion thus assigned was ille
gal, and was not warranted-by any. much less;
by the reserved and inherent.-powers of the charter
The case ofthe St.' Patrick Society was much stronger
in point; as.illustrating this principle, than the present
case: there a by-law provided for'the expulsion of a
member for vilifying any ofthe members of the corpora
tion, andfor this cause, and under this by-law, a.corpo
rator was' disfranchised; the Supreme Court -declared
the foy-law void, and restored the member to the enjoy
ment of his corporate franchises. Here we have no by
law,making a refusal to resign at thq request of the Board
of Directors a ground of expulsion; and yet, without the
express authority of timecharter, without the pretence of
by-law, this cause, and this alone, is assigned as justifying,
the expulsion. The irregularity is manifest, when the
board resolved to call a special meeting of the club for
the purpose of considering the refusal of a member to re
sign: in the notice assigning this-as the subject to he
considered at such meeting; and in-the final action of
the corporators Ipassing the resolution or expulsion, for
the reason above.mentioped. ; '
The? conclusion at wbich we haveamved requires us
to Fiyejudginentifor the relator on the demurrer, and
grant tho prayer ofthe relator, and.award a peremptory
mandamus to restore him to/his rights and privileges as
a member of the Philadelphia Club. ;
THB SIEGFRIED DIVORCE CASE DISAGREEMENT OF THE
JURY—EIXG ULAR CAUSE.
. In this case, on Saturday,' Judge Allison Bent. for.the.
jury, who have .been out since Thursday, and inquired
whether there was any prospect .of their agreeing upon a
verdict.: The foreman of the . jury* said ho, that they
stood then aaVthey were'-when' they went out, nine to
three, and there was no probability . of'any change.
Jpage Allison said that it had frequently occurred before
that juries who had failed to agree for a long time finally .
rendered a yerdiet. Another Muror then stated, that
there was no possibility of that occurring in this case.-
that they haafttliy consfdered the evidence and the. case
in all its hearings, and there was no difficulty on that
score; and if the court would permit him to state what
had. transpired in the jury room, the'cause of the dis
: agreement would,be seen. Judge Allison said he did not
.wish to hear anything about the occurrences in the jury
room. * The juror then said that he might be permitted to
be kried either by a jury of
aH|ProtestautB-pr all Catholics, or there, would never be
a verdict. -
' Judge thatthereligious convictidns of iu
rors had nothing to do with the-performance of tbeir
duty; that they were swornto render “a true verdict
according to the evidence,’’and if they failed to do so
from any such cause as was referred to here, they left the
jure box perjured men. ' f
NotwithbtandiDg this severe rebuke the; disagreement
continiiod and they were finally discharged from further
consideration of the case.- It appears that the three dis
senters objected to rnderinga verdict because, accord
ing to (heir religious doctrines marriage is a sacrament
whiob thelaw cannot untie. The case was tried-onoe
be:oi-e a *.hort|tinie ago. and the jury disagreed for the
same reason, and eomeho.w or other word of this crept
into the jury box this time. The case must now be
fore a third jury. • \

ANOTHIR'REMARKABLE CURE.
• « •*•/. Philadelphia, March 31st, 1883.
: J?or the past three or-four years my health has been
gradually running down; andl for some time could not
understand the cause of it. At first I was not much
alarmed, but, as time wore on, ray sufferings kept
getting worse.- I began to lose flesh, my natural color
left me, and mi appetite became very irregular. I ap
plied to several‘physicians, but they did not seem to
understand my disease, for I kept growing worse; I
was troubled with palpitation of the heart, difficulty of
breathing, oftentimes trembling of the limbs, soreness
in my throat, loss of memory, and great aversion to
business and to society. At umesl was veiy gloomy;
and wliat caused me to feel worse was my inability to
collect ray thoughts vigorously on.any subject; suffered
much from swimming in thei head/and much. from fears
of getting insane, for my physicians had told me that I
. had symptoms of flts^but.rafter,persevering for a long
time in the old school remedies,-and in the.homcoopathic
also, I was informed my case was beyond-cure.- -
Seeing the advertisement of Prois. Boite.? & Galloway
in The Press and Bulletin, I called on them at 1220 Wal
nut’street, and-, after conversing with them a few mi
nutes, they told- me that they could cure me, and that
without throwing poisonous drugs into my system. TMb
to me was rather astonishing; Ftill I ;believed it. for I
had known some persons theyhad cured/who had been
worse than even I was. I commenced their treatments
which is perfectly pleasant, and I am happy to say that,
in niue treatmeuts of’ about ten lwaspe
r■fectly cured . This is.astonishlng to me, for I had given
np all hop€s of being cured and of having my mind re
stored. In answer to.my con victions of duty to my suf;
fering fellow-men, I have made this statement of-facts
in relation to my own wonderful cure*, and I know it is
permanent, for sufficient time' has elapsed for a return;
therefore I feel certain; VX shall take.pleasure in being
referred to by any person orpereohs wno may be suffer

Prof. Bodies— Dear Sir: As you have frequently rev
quested give'“you m'y opinion of the therapeutic
effectaof Electricity, when, applied according to yonr dis
covery of its physiological relations.to the human sys
tem, in producing and. curing disease; and this being
the first favorable opportnnity,-I will- glye' you a brief
statement of mysnccess since I closed my instructions
with you, and also my faith in it as a remedial agent,
for the cure of aircurable.diseaees '; At every step as I
have proceeded 'iirthe practice, 'my"astonisbiSient ha 8 " ;.
been increased when witnessing its power in controlling
and curing all forms of disease. ~ X can hardly say to
What/class of diseat es' Electricity : is best adapted—

Consumption,' t ßheumatism; Acute.or.Chiohic Neuralgia,

St. .Vitus* Dance, all Female Diseases, and all - derange
ments of the nervous system.. The above diseases having
been treated by me sinceltook instruction'from-you. as
also many others; therefore'•l speak positively of its
power to control without any medicine being given ac
