...grumblers with good effect. The books which cannot be found are not always "surreptitiously taken by a member of - ," as the communication of yesterday in regard to the binder showed. The communication to-day speaks of their being left on the tables in the reading room. While we certainly condemn this habit of not returning them to their proper places after using them, on the other hand we think that those who fail to find books at the first touch, should show a little mercy in looking for them before rushing into print with complaints and unjust accusations...

In the room adjoining his own he showed us thousands of jars of preserved reptiles and fishes from which he had to select the best specimens, and condemn the useless ones. Some thousands of innocent snakes and fish have been immured here for years, immolated to the cause of science, to be rudely dragged forth, condemned as "common" and haled to the offal-dock. Alcohol has been the ruin of nearly every reptile that ever indulged...
