: Tho Lcnox Library-A Gift to the City.


The latest instance of a growing and COM
mendable disposition on the part of our
wealthy men to make donations during their
lifetime for the benefit Of the people is offered
by the proposed free gift to the city of New
York Of the finest private library in the
United States-a library which Mr.. James
Lenox, of Fifth avenue, has been collecting for
many years with the utmost taste, intelligence
and liberality. Mr. Lenox has won an enviable
reputation as one Of the principal bibliophiles
In the world. Besides its other priceless
treasures his collection includes larger num-
ber Of rare editions Of the Holy Scriptures
and OF various works relative to America than
any in this country, or perhaps in Europe
Together with its valuable paintings and
sculptures, and the rich additions which Mr..
Lenox pledges himself to make to it, and the
still further additions which other wealthy col
lectors will doubtless be stimulated by his
example to give, the Lenox Library must in
time rival even the British Museum and the
.Bs6tothsque Imp6riale, A bill has been intro
duced into the Senate at Albany for the incor-
poration of the Lenox Library, the munifcent
founder of which proposes to convey to trus-
tees block of land in the vicinity of the Park
as site for library building that shall be an
architectural ornament to the city. He will
devote to the erection of this building three
hundred thousand dollars, and as much more
money as shall be requisite. So splendid
gift as the Lenox Library cannot be too highly
appreciated. great public library is in
itself a true university for the people. 1t is
only to be hoped that the trustees of the insti-
tuition will administer it with such wisdom that
1t shall be readily accessible at convenient
hours to citizens Of all classes.

low dust in that part Of the county, waiting for

that the mines worked out, and we don't

out nine hundred dollars as the result of the la
Dor of himself and hired man, and has ten years
work in his claim; which, according to his judg-
ment, will pay just as we'll the labor already
done. So far as the mines on Pony creek con-
cerned, the gold speaks for itself. We have
never been in that locality, but the statement of
all who know the country are to the effect that
nothing but work is needed to make living,
and the chances are much better for making
pile than in almost any part of the county.

The clothes need not be wet before placing them

should be put in when the water is hot, and rinscd

Colored clothes should not be mixed with white,

washed by this process. The most delicate laces,
cambrics, &c, such as would nearly fall to pieces
if washed in the ordinary way, may be wa: he'd per-
fectly, without injury, by this process. The almost
absolute .essity of using soft. 'broken. y

more than 0NE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process of RUBBING, and consequently will last

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce a complete revolution IN any de-
partment OF labor To have supposed, ayear ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt, that this process not only cleans the clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such a surposirion has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing


Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be seen to be fully appre-
ciated, as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in ordinary advertisement


Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus for the last six months, and more than
million of people have witnessed its success Ten
thousand boilers sold in New York City in less
than five onths. from one stand, and at this time
the orders reach about one hundred day. Nc
one ever used it as directed that did no recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the names those of the most distinguished cit
izens of the United States but the best recommen-
dation is to take the boiler and use it yourself Do
just as you directed and you will be more than
satisfied 1t appeals to all as matter of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
Einvesment. 1t will return a yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT on the
money invested. For instance we will suppose

Portugal should never be united on the same
head, seeking by this means to preserve the
throne of Portugal for bis son and his descend
ants. After some discussion, the Spanish Gov
ment accepted the condition, with this modi-
fication:-' Except If, in the course of time, the
two nations should spontaneously agree
upon sovereign" etc. Dom Fer
vation on that point. He also demanded
that certain amendments should be made to the
Spanish Constitution before accepting the
throne; but the Government at Madrid objected
to submit that question to the Cortes until after
his election as King. These negotiations occu-
pied several months, and were once or twice
suspended entirely as hopeless, but renewed by
friendly Intervention. Finally they we're broken
off altogether, and the causes already stated
were assigned as the reasons of the failure.


But the persons who are familiar with all the
facts attribute the rupture to another and
very different motive. At one of the last inter-
views between Dom Fernando and the Spanish
Minister at which the Countess d'Edla was pre-
sent, his Majesty inquired what would be the
eventual position of his wife should he go to
Spain? After putting this question he withdrew,
leaving Madame and the Minister to settle the
delicate point between them. The Minister stated
that she was at liberty to name any title distinc-
tion or dotation, adding that she would always be
the first lady of the palace. To which the
Countess replied:-"So far so good; but his
Majesty desires my position to be as clear as
possible. What | wish to know is, what will be
my part on great ceremonials like the opening
of the Cortes, or other corresponding occa-
sions?" The aim of this inquiry was evident
and the Minister was not taken by surprise
