"IN STRANGE COMPANY."
(To the Editor.) •Sir, —This afternoon I paid my first visit to your "Carnegie Library." In common with most visitors, I was pleased therewith, and, as a country dweller, I envied you the "feast of reason" contained (herein, which I trust is appreciated by the citizens of New Plymouth. I do not know, however, who is responsible for the arrangement of the books, therefore, I am unable to judge whether a certain shelf in the reference library was arranged by one witii a strong Sftfise of humour or the revers#. Perhaps those who have revelled in days gone by in Sui'tees 1 inimitable stories of sporting novels will appreciate the ease when I mention that I found the whole, set from "ITandlev Cross" to "Mr. Facey Romford's Hounds," flanked on the one hand by "The Labor Movement in America," and on the other by "Democracy in America." The next volume was <: Ask Mamma," after which followed "Some Dogmas of Religion." Can you wonder that my mind flew to Moliere. and I thought 'Que dinblo allaient ils faire dans cette galiere."—l am. etc., PEREGRINE.
