From' the fourth to the aerenth oentury Europe waa devastated by the ravage tribe of Aitia, and commercial inter-Vmiw wm ilmoit completely destroyed. clrwe of this warfare, the' seeds of re -K-tlfitton were sown, and people were aiculn jttroufcht ogther for mercantile transactions, but with great difficulty. The roads were Infested with (robbers, and merchants were forced to unite and.

JtraTcl well armed for protection. It la brobable jthat the great fairs held down to the sixteenth cen-jlory had their origin In 'this Merchants en-guntpred each- ottier at certain seasons of the year 't -oentral points, and exchanged their com modi-" tir. Another circumstance fixed the places for these meeting, and gave rim to small local fairs, 'la the MMdle Ages, the devotional feelings of the kwoplA caused them to vMt the shrines of their i'lignmagea nam made at favorable or the year, and as travel was difficult and the pilgrims set out dn large numbers. With an eye to business they jusually manngiwl to carry with them goods which- jtbey knew wouiii be in lemand at the holy place, and thus, not only Indemnified themselves for the Vxpense of the pilgrimage, but served God and' yarned art honejit penny at the same time. After ibe religious ceremony came the fair, and the luiiiy scenes Jf traffic.

The same causes n.ijtlilimint of local fairs, or 8un- duy and holidays in nearly every town where5 line nurcn was esiauusnca. 1 ney were a source revenue to the religiftus houses, a toll being extorted from all who engaged in traffic. There Were- seven or eight great fairs In Europe, jt which ail the great merchants resorted. They Crere generally held in an xprn plain, covering a puce six or seven miles. If held near A town, all Isisltiess was suspended there during the progress cut the fair.

Tiio manner of 'conducting them was thoroughly republican, every person interested having an efnal voice in the government. -A President was elected, and a council of twelve, in whom hi I power wu lodged. Tbeylso had a court; of -IS and police to preserve order. Tne prooeedings of Uie court were sammaiy and Iwithoiit apeal. and execution promptly followed "the sentence.

The court settled all dilutes, and jifieft was punished by whipping the offender and xpoing him. fastened to an Iron chain, that all know that be was a thief. The fair was WiDened and ctoeed by iiublic proclamation, and Bternhanut were exempt from arrest in person and "property while- engaged at the fair. Ingoing to or returning from It. hen the fair was formally Ajwned; the spectacle presented was striking and j.icturesfue.

Root ha and Utnts were spread out In all directions, and amusements of all' kinds were pilterally pnvided. Everywhere, as now. the gambler was to be fonnd. and the puppet-show di- Mded attention with the rope dancers and fortune-Sellers. With the advance of civilization, safety of gravel, and -the building of great cities which are.

In fact, but fairs, or markets, on a large scale the necessity for. holding these large fairs disappeared, and they began to be patronized snore by the idle and vicious in fcf nrusement than by traffickers In the necessities life. Judge Daly gave a brief history of the St. Jiartbolomew Fair, which was held In Smithfield; '-now the heart of Lendon from 1133 to 1H5 Wlien it was dually suppressed, and of the famous Iionnybrook Fair, neld annually near Dublin, from Both these great fairs degenerated jtintil they became simply resorts for the lowest or the English and Irish people, and had to Jbn suppreseeid. tf the great fairs still in exist- Vnce, that held -Annual 1 at Hurdwar, in India, attracts a yearly attendance of millions of peonle.

The objects of these ancient fairs were very dif-t rent from the institutions which are called by It lie name name In modern days. They were simply ImirkeU, and did little to Improve the arts of the is the peculiar function of the modern Lisdusrrial exhibition. The idea of tne modern fair ionginaled in' lTiil. when three letters were pub- Untied In London suggesting tile establishment of a chamber of arts, but nothing came of the sugges- ttftn. In 1741 Benjamin Franklin founded a society lor the Dromot htn of useful knowledge in I'hlladel- phia.

EIGHTH OF THX EPISCOPAL INSTITUTION HUDSON-STREET. Every pew In Zion EpisoopAl Church, corner of Madison-avenue and Thirty-eighth -street, of Which the Dr. Tiffany is Rector, last evening contained a little pamphlet And neatly printed cards, to-which were attached tiny ivory -tipped lead pencils of various colors. The evening 'was devoted to the exercises of the eighth anniversary of the Home for Old' Men and Aged Couple at No. 47 Hudson-street, and tho pamphlet set forth a synopsis of the work of the Home, And tne cards and pencils were intended to be filled out with donations.

In many cases the pencils and cards were used for the purpose designed. The service comprised Scriptural reading-, chanting, and an anniversary sermqb, preached by the Rev. Noah H. Schenck, who fivered An eloquent discourse, the theme of which was A Christian Old Age." Its tenderness of tone and spirit moved many of the congregation to tears. He Closed with a strong appeal in behalf of the Hornet which, he said, was a grand example of active religion." It has been found necessary to enlarge the premises occupied by the institution to accommodate its widening field of usefulness.

The Home fills a pecnUar'plaoe among the charitable enterprises of the City. It was established In 1872 by a number of persons who deemed it necessary to found an Institution In which old men. as well as aged couples, could pass peacefully tbelr declining years. One of the main designs was to afford a residence for those who had once been firosperous. and Who.

while so unfortunate as to ose their property, still retained tbelr good names. For such it was desired to furnish not merely a place of refuge, but also a home in every sense of the word, where all would find congenial society. Since then the work has prospered, though many difficulties have been encountered owing tb the peculiar nature of the tank undertaken, which no ex- gerience in any other Institution would fully meet, ut all such have been overcome, and it is expected that in the future the management will be easier for those having the responsibility as weU as for those under their care. The officers are: President Bishop Potter; Vice-President The Rev. Dr.

Winter always has an invigorating effect upon readers, and the great reading halls which look so dreamy uncomfortable In Summer are crowded then. Bow m)iny persons use these privileges the publio hardly realizes. According to the reports of the librarians of the various reading-rooms, the total number of monthly visitors, taking the As tor. Lenox, Cooper Union, Historical Society. Apprentices', Young1 Men's Christian Association, and Mercantile rooms into the reckoning Is about 200.000.

The effect of Winter has been much greater this year than expected, and for the first time in many years there is a real want of room. The spacious hall of the Cooper Union, which is the largest in New- York, is hardly equal to the demand, and the completion of the addition to the A st or will be gladly welcomed by those whose Idle hours come after 8 P. M. Tne quiet site of the Lenox Library In front of Central Park is of Inestimable value to readers, and more accommodation is only essential to make its way. the most popular library in the City.

The Cooper Unioh has now the largest number of visitors. About this season the dally attendance Is near 4,000. Each of the large libraries near Astor-place the Mercantile and the Astor has gradually attracted a special class of readers. A college Professor Is rarely to be found in the Mercantile tout around the corner, at the Astor. one will find Professors in numbers, perhaps writing the preface to new books.

Many works, the librarian says, have been written on the reading-tables. The Astor, being a reference library, is naturally used by teachers, students, and professional writers. The Assistants can point out a dozen men who have the subject and nature of their articles or books decided on. and are merely searching for facts. The Mercantile offers the only Inexpensive pleasure to the hard-worked female operatives and saleswomen, and lends 75,000 works of fiction yearly.
