NELSON INSTITUTE.
To the Editor of the 'Evening: Mail.' Sir, — I too hare wondered at the modest account rendered by the officials of the Institute, but there are some facts Much, in justice to the Committee, ought not to be passed over, however modest they may be. It was elicited during the meeting, that members of the Committee were patterns of 0 virtue which ia really so uncommon that the outside public »ujht to Know of it. It came oat in evidence and evidence. Sir, was taken, that the members of the Committee were in the habit of using their privilege of borrowing the recent periodicals at the moment the Institute closed, and actually bringing them again without fail next day in time for the reading room when it was open to the public. The evidence was to the effect that no one was ever known to forget or by accidtHt to delay the return of the said periodicals! Now, Sir, in these days of procrastination and corruption such an example of punctuality and self-denial ought not to be hid under a bushel. If the officials still continue to deprive the public of information through their modesty , 1 am afraid you will hear again from A SUBSCBIBER TO THB INSTITUTE.
