Youratruly, A Stoxe-OurrER, Qitioado, Deo, 3, 1874, OUR TUBLIC LIDRARY, To the Kditor of The Chicagn T'eibune: Bin: Haviug somo oxporienco of the modo in which tho chief public libearlos of Europo (tho British Musoum nnd the Bibliothnque Nationnlo) a6 woll a3 ono or two in this couutry aro con- Auoted, I muy vonturoto oxpress my dlssont from tho nystom which provalls in tho Cllengo Library, It must bo admitted that ouo of tho great ad- vantagos which & Inygo city has as a placo of rosldenco ovor the country iu the possession of an oxtenalvo colloction of booke to which ensy accorg oan he had. Tho student, profossional or privato, is not always able to proouro for himeelf the books which ho necds, and, however amplo his opportunities may be in this respect, thero will ba cortain works to which he may o obliged to rofer ocensionally, but which he cannot or does not earo to pur- chago. A publio library afforda him thiy appor- tunity, and opous to him a placo whors he ean oonmult quictly and nt lelsure tho authoritios which may bo needful to bim. 1t 13 not menut to take the placs of, but rather to nupplomont, tho private library, and is certalnly misapplied from it proper purpose whon it i turnod into a moro circulating library. Tho coudition of soota- zi' hera will of coursa “requira & modifieation of tho rules which are adupted to such institu- tions in older cities; but tho original inten- tion should nover ho lost elght of. If tho majority of our readine nopulation care only for works of fiction, and wiil ruthor rend noth- ing it thoy cannot take the books with them to Lholr homes, it may bo well to lave a circulating dopartment’ conucctod with tho libraty proper. A taste for roading may bo thereby fostored, whioh may aftorwards bo lmproved “at lolsure, although "I think this Is very problematical, Conceding, howover, tha valne of auch an ex- poriment, 1t shontd b conductod as morely nux- ilinry to tho main object for which tho library was instituled, usmely, to afford the mnn of scionce or lotters a placo sud means to progecute his_stndies. In the Chicago Libraty, thero in cortairly no place whero the stuilont can pursuo his inquiries in undisturbod qaiet, if ho bus the persevorance to overcomo tho many Innderances which ucom £o bo thrown in his way in getting nt tho books. Sume difficultion are of vourse nunavoldablo in tho manngemont of a now inatitution, but theeo will nevor be overcomo in the present quarters, oryrith the system in force of eataloguing and distribnting the books, ‘The question of most importanco, howover, ia that of the charactor of the books which arn being added to tho libraty. If theso aro, as L am informed, for tho most purt if not entirely worka of fiction, wo mn{ rive up rlt hope thnt fu the present Publio Library of Chicago is con- tained tho gorm of ona which will be some tima worthy of the Motropolis of the Weat.

The chiof toplo of conversation around the ol rookery yosterdny was the David A. Gage trial. Groups rathersd hero and there among the different ofiicos all through the day, Mayor Colvin and sovoral other prominent ity of- floinls thought and talked of nothing olso, The provailing opinion was that Mr, Gago wonld faro rather roughly fn tho panding trial ; and, although the most profound aympathy was ox- \‘:reunml for him, vot it was thought but just that {8 oritne should ba punished. ' City-Engincer Chesbrough, with bis usual good care of tho public, announces that the water in the South Divinlon, south of Twelfth streot, will bo cut off aftor 10 o'olack to-ay.
