LOS ANGELES.
Historical Sketch of the City We
Live In.

The City of Los Angeles Gel Pueblo de Los
Angeles) so called on account of its excellent
climate and beautiful surroundings, was founded
ON the 4th Of September, 1881, in accordance with
the orders of Felipe de Nieve, at that time Gov
ernor of Alta California, issued on the Goth day OF
August, 1871. The founders of the city were
mostly, II not all, men who had been relieved OF
discharged from service at the mission of San
Gabriel nine miles distant from the city. The
settlement consisted of twelve families, numbering
in all forty-six persons. These families We're sup
piled with oxen, mules, mares, sheep, goats, cows
etc., from the royal treasury, all OF which were
charged to them at q price established by the
Government, and that amount was to be deducted
from the pensions they received from the Spanish
Government in small installments. The surnames
Of the twelve settlers were: Lara, Navarro, Rosas,
Rodriguez, Mesa, villavicencio, Banegas, Rosas,
Camera, Quintero Moreno and Rodriguez
A parallelogram one hundred varas long and
seventy-five wide was laid out for the town site,
located northeast Of the present Catholic Church
site, upon three sides Of which parallelogram were
ten 40x20-vara house lots and two corner lots,
which, fronting on two sides Of the square, were
necessarily OF different figure. One-half Of the
remaining (southwesD side Of the parallelogram
was for the guard-house, royal officers and q
granary, and the other half was left open. The
four lines Of the parallelogram did not run toward
the four cardinal points, but we're about equi-
distant between these points. An irrigating ditch
bringing water from the river, then called the
Porcicuncula passed close to these lots on the
southeast corner Of the square. Thirty fields foI
cultivation were laid out, twenty-six of which
were each two hundred varas square, and the
other four were three hundred by one hundred
varas. These fields were separated by lanes three
varas wide. They were located between the riveI
and the irrigating ditch, and mostly above Q
direct line running nearly east from the town site
to the river. The distance from the irrigatne
ditch to the river was upward of twelve hundred
varas.
For period of fifty years after the settlement
Of the town its growth was slow, being dependent
upon the natural increase of the settlers by
additional soldiers, as they were from time to

THE TRANSIT OF VENTS.
Nearly One Hundred Different Parties
Preparing Tor the Event.

The work OF getting ready for the observa-
ton of the transit Of Venus goes on with
increasing ardor MS the time December O.
for the occurrence of the phenomenon draws
near At moderate estimate, nearly 100
transit parties have reached their
destination, are on their way ihlther, are
making ready for distant observing points, or
are Strengthening their resources for work
at home. American astronomers are per-
icctng their plans. The commission having
the matter in charge has been obliged to de-
lay action for want of the necessary appro-
Ipriation. But matters are now in train for
action. The stations have been selected and
the leaders OF the different parties chosen.
There will probably be four stations ia the
southern hemisphere. One is ut the Cape of
Good Hope, under Prof. Ncwcomb's charge;
one at New iceland, under Edwin Smith of
the coast survey one at Santiago. Chill,
under Prof. Boss, and one in Santa Cruz,
Patagonia, under Lieut.. Very of the United
States navy. The principal observing sta
tons in the Northern hemisphere will be
Cedar Keys, Florida, San Antonio, Texas
and Fort Thorn, New Mexico, under the
chargi.o prOfs Ill., Hardness aud East
man ~ the naval observatory, and Prof.
Davidson OF the coast survey. The United
Stat, will lie represented by some Of her
most famous astronomers, who will do val
liant work for the cause Photography is
the means by which America hopes to record
every feature Of the transit The French
will observe at eight stations in the Western
world and depend upon contacts as their
means of attack, as also do tie English and
and lclgiaus, while the Germans hope to
accomplish successful results with the
hcliomctcr. The Germans, thus far, have
selected two stations farther north than
those OF other foreign nations; one at
Hartford, Conn, and the other ut Aiken
;. {. The uncertainty Of the weather in the
North temperate zone will prevent its being
largely chosen us an observing locality; but
some stations will he chosen there in order
TO bring the observations ut as widely separ-
aled points as possible II is discouraging to
think that NJ only half Of these stations clear
weather may he reasonably anticipated, and
that this expenditure of time, labor and
money will he all in vain as regards half of
the observations. But the other half may
have their labor crowned with y brilliant
success that will make up for the dlsap-
poinmcnt, and be rewarded by the gratitude
OF the generations that will tread the earth in
the ~ years that will clapse before another
transit of Venus recurs in 20O4
