The Los Angeles Public Library.

The Los Angeles Library Associa-
tion was organized in December, 1872,
and having secured and furnished
rooms in Downey Block for library
purposes, opened its doors to members
and the public on the 1st day of Janu-
ary, 1878, with about 500 volumes of
books on its shelves, principally
donated or loaned to the association by
the citizens of Los Angeles as a
nucleus for public library. About
400 volumes of new books were pur-
chased very soon thereafter and at
various periods since additions have
been made by purchase, donation and
loan, until an accumulation of upward
of 1000 volumes is the result An
order has just been made for about
200 volumes more, chiefly new and
important publications, and the books
when they are placed on the shelves of
the library will fill much needed
want and awaken renewed interest
in the library among all classes of
readers. The association is composed
of about $50 members. The cost of
membership is So so initiation fee
and fifty cents per month dues, or S.
per year, if paid annually in advance.
Strangers visiting the city are ad-
mitted to the free use of the rooms,
but are not allowed to draw books,
except on the payment of dues. An
average Of about 1000 tourists and
soiourners annually are thus accom-
modated with a quiet, pleasant and
attractive reading room. Nearly all
the leading magazines, reviews, illus
trated papers and many Eastern
newspapers and foreign publications
are received at the library. The rooms
are open every afternoon, including
Sunday, and every evening from to
10 o'clock. A chess room, with three
sets of chess and one of draughts, is
connected with the library, the same
room answering the purpose of a
smoking and conversation room.
The books and magazines, except
books Of reference, are allowed TO
circulate" among the members, each
member being allowed to draw two at
time. The members family are en-
titled to all the privileges of the lib
rary, gratis, though but two books
can be cut at one time on one mem
bership. Many ladies have member
ships in their own name.
At the last session of the Legisla-
ture of California a law was enacted
which authorizes the Common Council
of the city of Los Angeles to establish
a free public library and maintain il
by public tax. So soon as the city
shall have taken the necessary steps
to that end, the present library will
be merged therein by donation OF
its books and property to the city.

A Marshal of This Republic.

Among the Americans who attended
ball given at the Hotel de Vile, Paris,
when John Y. Mason was our Minister
there, was Jack Spicer, of Kentucky.
Jack rushed the dress somewhat strong,
and sported epaulettes on his shoulders
large enough to start four Major Gener-
ais in business. Jack was the observed
of all observers, and got mixed up with
party. that his friends could not ac-
count for. Wherever the Marshals of
France went, there went Jack-and
when the Marshals sat down, Jack did
the same, and always taking the post of
honor. The day after the ball, Jack
called on our Minister to France, who
started up a conversation in the follow
ing way;

"I was, sir, and had high old time"
"For which you were indebted, sup

Manufacture of Razor Blades.

The celebrated razor blades produced
by Rodgers, of Sheffield, and which go
to all parts of the civilized world, are
forged out of bars of the very best highly
carbonated cast-steel, tilted to about half
an inch in breadth, and of a thickness
sufficient for the back of the razor. The
blade is first nodded at the end of the
porter rod and then forged, and the edge
being brought out the concave surface Is
formed by working the side on the round
ed edge of the anvil it is then cut off,
and the tang is either drawn out from
the same material as the blade, or, if this
be of superior quality, a piece Of iron is
welded to it. The steel used is of excel
lent quality, so as TO undergo the neces-
sary work to produce the thinner part,
while the back is left thick. Some Of
the workmen are so expert in forging
the blade that they will produce on the
anvil an edge so sharp and even that it
can be used for shaving after being whet-
ted. After forging, the blade is smithed
or beaten on the anvil, to render the
metal as compact as possible. The blade
is also slightly ground, or scorched, after
the forging, on coarse, dry grit stone,
to bring it to the shape required, and
remove the black scale or coating. The
blade is next drilled for the joint, and
stamped with the name then hardened
and tempered, and ground on a whet-
stone of from four to eight inches in di-
ameter.

Nevada's Great Gave.
From the winnemucea silver State ]


The entrance to the cavern is located
about three miles northeast from Star
City, and about 1000 feet higher than
the town, in the Humboldt Range, eight
miles from the Central Pacific Railroad.
1t has been known TO the Indians per-
haps for ages, and they say that many
years ago it afforded passage through
the mountain to point opposite, where
the Humboldt House now stands. A
Piute legend says that it has been the
home of the evil spirit for many genera
tions, and the bravest warrior of the
tribe will not venture near its mouth for
any purpose whatever. They say that
before the whites came among them
they put bad Indians in the cave to ap-
pease the wrath and hunger of the spirit
that inhablts it. The last Indian put in
there was not as bad as represented, and
was guided to the opening on the other
side by the spirit. The cave was par
TALLY explored in 1865. by Capt. Prescott,
James 4. Banks, who was since killed
by the Indians near Camp Scott, and A.
J. Simmons, now an Indian agent IN
Montana Territory. Some time ago
party of four, of which your correspon-
dent was one, proceeded to explore the
cave. We had heard great deal about
it, and were anxious TO see a little of it
ourselves. On arriving at the place we
discovered to our surprise that the en-
trance was 10 feet above the ground
rock on which We stood. The rock rises
almost perpendicularly $50 feet above
the mouth, and for several hundred feet
on each side. Having been provided
with ropes one was thrown over point
of rock which projected over the mouth
of the cavern, by means of which the en-
trance was gained. Lighting our pitch
pine torches we proceeded cautiously in
single file about 100 feet in what appear
ed like a large mining tunnel. The
ceiling was from ten to fifteen feet high
in this distance after which it narrowed
down to a crack just large enough TO get
through. Suddenly we came to a square
iump-of or perpendicular drop of thirty
feet. Again the rope was brought into
requistition and by means of it the bot
tom was reached. Immediately under
the road we had traversed We found
large chambers, the largest of which
should judge to be 40 feet square and go
feet high, the entrance of which was
scarcely large enough to crawl through.
Here in this chamber we noticed veri-
fication of the adage that constant drop
ping will wear away stone" In several
places drops of water from the ceiling,
which continually fell in one place, there
being no air current to change their
course, had worn holes in the solid fin.
ty floor from to 7 inches deep. We
explored the cave to distance of mile
from the entrance, and our lights burn
ing we'll showed that the cavern is well
ventilated. We did not fnd passage
through, though we Travelled for three
hours and half by the watch, and ar
rived at the entrance very much fatigu-
ed.
