Southern Californian SATURDAY ... DEC. 7, 1872 NOTICE OF SALE. I have this day sold the Southern California newspaper and Job Printing Establishment to Richard Melrose Esq., who will hereafter conduct the same. CHARLES A. GARDNER, Anheim December 7, 1872, VALEDICTORY. With this number we close our career as editor and publisher of the Southern California. The short period of time during which we have filled that position has been a most pleasant one to us. We have found in it noble friendships and the best traits of human character. No better people exist in all the world than the hosts of friends who have ever encouraged our labors and made happy the relationship of editor and reader. We resign that relationship, with many regrets, because after nearly a year and a half of the most insistent labor we find ourselves in want of rest, and also because of a desire for study and a quieter life than is allowed by the active duties of a publisher. We return thanks for the generosity. The Ideal of Christ's Person. The Christ of painters is blue-eyed and golden haired, and such a one never existed save in their imaginations. A blonde in the race of Syrian Jews is unknown. He was a brun (since we have no word in our language which describes a man with dark hair and eyes, and olive complexion) of that race. There are pious people who have recourse to a miracle to make him a blonde, with whom it is useless to argue. Generally, the stoutest defenders of his divinity, believe that in taking on himself man's nature he subjected himself to the laws which govern it, and that he thus inherited the characteristics of the race from which he sprung. Leonardo, Guido, Raphael, and other masters, created their Cblrat regardless of historical requirements and invested him with an ideal character which he never possessed according to their idea of the beautiful in art. This model, once imposed, has since been perpetuated by all painters, because they think blue eyes more spiritual than dark, and golden hair more godlike than black. They had an idea, too, that the Jewish type of face was ignoble, which may have had some foundation from the degradation to which the race was forced for so many centuries by persecuting Christians, and they thus had their prejudices against investing the Savior with the traits of a people whom they despised. But the Jew of Syria in the day of Jesus was, before his persecution and consequent debasement, perhaps the equal of the man of any other race in point of natural advantages. There are Syrian Jews now in isolated habitations. We resign that relationship, with many regrets, because after nearly a year and a half of the most incessant labor we find ourselves in want of rest, and also because of a desire for study and a quieter life than is allowed by the active duties of a publisher. We return thanks for the generous support we have received, and hope it will be continued in an increased measure to a most worthy successor. Mr Melrose is a gentleman of culture, of fine literary taste and most honorable business character, and we feel that we could commit the trust to no better or abler hands. With Mr M., will be associated in the editorial department, Mr Geo. C. Knox, a gentleman who has already gained an enviable reputation as an editor, and whose facile pen and extensive knowledge of the wants of Southern California eminently fit him for the position. CHAS. A. GARDNER. Collecting Taxes. On this subject, "A Fellow Tax-Payer" sends as a very sensible communication which we have not room to-day to publish in full, but condense the spirit of it for the consideration of the officials at Los Angeles. Our correspondent thinks, and we agree with him, that it was of comparatively little use to send a man around the county to collect taxes without giving sufficient notice of his coming to enable people generally to be prepared to meet him. This may have been carrying out the letter of the law, but not its spirit. It is true, notice was given by advertisement in the Los Angeles dailies, but comparatively few people outside the city of Los Angeles ever read those papers, much less pore over their advertising columns. Our correspondent says: "In the case before us, we know of a certainty that taxes have to be paid before a certain day, but that day has not yet arrived and in my which may have had some foundation from the degradation to which the race was forced for so many centuries by persecuting Christians, and they thus had their prejudices against investing the Savior with the traits of a people whom they despised. But the Jew of Syria in the day of Jesus was, before his persecution and consequent debasement, perhaps the equal of the man of any other race in point of natural advantages. There are Syrians now in isolated habitations in Palestine, who are remarable for their handsome traits." — Alb. Rhodes in Ap'tet ns Journal. THEM 'ERE LEGS.—A son of the Granite State went down to Memphis to seek his fortune. He found instead a diarrhea, which gradually shapes life in a chronic form. It was by this that poor Jim Bagley was picked up. And month after month it surged. At length he was but the outline of his former self—a perfect skeleton. A worthy minister of the Gospel saw the poor fellow, and seeing the King of Terrors had spotted him determined to call on him and to offer spiritual consolation. He broached the subject somewhat after this manner. "My dear Mr Bagley, in view of your relation with this life, how do you feel?" "D—n sick," war the prompt reply. "Don't swear, my poor friend," said the parson, "and let me ask, do you ever think of your latter end?" "Lord!' said Bagley. 'I hain' thought of anything else for mor'n three long months." "Not, I am afraid, in the right way, Mr Bagley. I beg you, pause and reflect. It is time you should begin to wrestle with the Lord." The sick man looked down at his minerable poker legs extended before him, and with on expression of amazement in his countenance, exclaimed: "Rastle with the Lord! With them're legs?" pointing to his own. "Why parson he'd flip me to h—ll the first pass." Wm H. Seward.—I heard anecdote of Wm H. Seward's patience temperament a few days ago that deserves mention. In June, 1856 after Preston S. Brooks had committed his assault on Charles Sumner; Mrs Seward was exceedingly anxious for the safety of her husband, and advised him to protect himself. "Well, my dear," was his answer. "what shall I do?" out the letter of the law, but not its spirit. It is true, notice was given by advertisement in the Los Angeles daily, but comparatively few people outside the city of Los Angeles ever read those papers, much less pore over their advertising columns. Our correspondent says: "In the case before us, we know of a certainty that taxes have to be paid before a certain day, but that day has not yet arrived, and, in my opinion, it would only have been common courtesy if the gentleman in question had given notice through your paper, for, say two weeks, only, that he would on certain days attend at certain places to receive taxes." We doubt not Sheriff Rowland aimed to do the best he could for us, for he is a courteous and gentlemanly official, but he probably overlooked the fact that most people down here do not get the papers he gave the notice in and so failed to be benefited by his well-intentioned plan. To advertise is to make known facts that people will not take the trouble to search out for themselves. A. advertises, B does not. All know that A. has certain goods. Few people know (and they have an indifferent knowledge) as to whether B. has these goods or not. With A's advertisement before them, it is doubtful if they bestow a thought upon B. So much the better for the advertising man. Church Trustees—A document was recorded yesterday from the members of the Anaheim Congressional Church certifying to the election, as Trustees of said Church, of Jason B. Pierce, Wm. M. Higgins, John Hunter, B. H. Hunter, B. H. Baneruff, J. S. Gardiner, and Mrs. P.C. McKinnle.—Star. Wm H. Seward—I heard anecdote of Wm H. Seward's patience temperament a few days ago that deserves mention. In June, 1856 after Preston S. Brooks had committed his assault on Charles Sumner, Mr Seward was exceedingly anxious for the safety of her husband, and advised him to protect himself. "Well, my dear," was his answer, "what shall I do? I'm a man of peace; I never reply to personal attacks; how am I to defend myself? Shall I go to the Senate with a musket or a rifle on my shoulders? If I use pistols I'm sure you will not ask me to shoot any body without notice. You say no Well then it will be my duty, if I carry revolvers, to lay them on my senatorial desk, so that all men may see that I am ready to kill anybody at a moment's notice. I think this is my best weapon," he said, as he closed his interview, and picked up the whip he carried as a sort of metrical help to the old horse that carried him to the capitol. He goes hence to the mysterious world, while Thurlow Wood, his devoted chief, is dying, and while the house of Horace Greeley, his early advocate, is stricken with unspeakable woe. So the "human ocean" moves on. Like the eternal sea itself, its current is perpetual, though millions live on its bosom and perish in its depths.—Florence. Expensive Mistake—Mr Granger, of Alvarado, not long since built a chicory mill and planted fifty acres of chicory. After putting in the seed, he took a trip to the East, leaving his farm in the change of his man Jack. About the time the crop matured, Mr. Granger returned and found to his surprise that instead of fifty acres of chicory he had fifty acres of Gorman salad, a mistake having been made in the seed. The crop is fit only for pasturage—and poor pasturage at that.—Alameda Co. Gazette. Christ's Person. painters is blue-baired, and such a save in their imminence in the race of unknown. He was have no word in which describes a man and eyes, and olive that race. There who have recourse make him a blonde, unless to argue outtest defenders of love that in taking nature be subject to laws which go he thus inherited race of the race from Leonardo, Guido, other masters, create regardless of historians and invested him character which be according to their painful in art. This imposed, has since by all painters,ink blue eyes more dark, and golden like than black. Idea, too, that the face was ignoble, he had some founda-regedation to which forced for so many executing Christians, had their prejudices against the Savior with people whom they the Jew of Syria in was, before his per-consequent debase-who equal of the man face in point of natu There are Syrian habitations in Grapes and Wine. At a late meeting of the "Grape Growers' Association of Sonoma, Napa and Solano Counties," some facts have been elicited and conclusions arrived at concerning the business in that part of the state which may be of interest to our friends here. The damage by frost in those counties is estimated at one-third. "Mr. PELLETT stated it as a fact worthy of note, that the Mission grape produced smaller bunches this year than usual, and the berries ripened irregularly. He thinks it would be better if the Mission grape were supplanted by other varieties. The Chasselas flourished well." Mr. Lockwood spoke of the depression in the wine trade. He said there were two views to take of the question. "The worst is, that the increased production has outstripped the more gradually increased demand. This is serious enough in the face of the fact that Americans are not a wine-drinking people. But if we make good wine it will force a market. The bright side of this question is,' continued Mr. L., 'that our wines have improved and are improving every year. It is too early for the effects of this improvement to have been felt in the East, where California wines suffer in reputation from the bad supplies furnished and the alleged dishonest practices of many dealers.'" Mr. Snyder said Sonoma would build a large wine-house for storage, which example was recommended to be imitated by Napa. Wine stored in such denots would be rec- Mr. Snyder said Sonoma would build a large wine-house for storage, which example was recommended to be imitated by Napa. Wine stored in such depots would be recognized as legitimate security for advance made by the banks." Stealing Items.—Friend Lawrence of Havilah Miner, thus touches up with a sharp stick the beggarly habit many papers have of appropriating news from other journals, and being too mean to give credit for it: "Californian," Bakersfield. The next time you take a couple of columns of items from the Miner, you will please remember that two words, viz: Havilah Miner, should be attached to them. When you rehash an item you should originate a little better. Now we admit that we stole and rehashed a small item from the Californian, which the Californian was not shrewd enough to detect. The world does not censure so much for stealing, as it does for getting caught. Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise." If you must plagiarize, and cannot break the kleptomania propensity, why! for goodness sake, get the items in, in such a manner, as not to lose their entire identity. Come back at us now; "we admit" we have left you a chance. The most potent agency in stopping the Boston conflagration, is believed by General Shaler to be the old-fashioned brick houses and stores, with slate roof, which skirt the burnt district. Gen. S. is commissioner of the Metropolitan Fire Police in New York City; he hastened to Boston when the first telegrams were received from the burning city, and has since given the result of his observations and investigations concerning the fire. While he does not dwarf the gigantic labors of the firemen, he believes that the structures mentioned above barred out the progress of the flames and contributed more than anything else towards staying the progress of the conflagration. I heard an anH. Seward's patient few days ago that soon. In June, 1856, Brooks had commutult on Charles Sumward was exceedingly safety of her husised him to protect it, my dear," was his hail I do?

About the time od, Mr. Granger rea d to his surprise that shares of chicory he of German salad, a been made in the is fit only for pastorurage at that Gazette. It appears that Francis Bret Harte has thrice disappointed Boston audiences by not putting in his appearance when advertised to lecture or read some of his literary efforts. The last disappointment occurred only a few days ago, and Mr. Redpath introduced Dr. Holmes to the waiting audience with the causal remark that "it is the custom, in this course, in any case where the committee have been unable to keep their promises, for them to procure a lecturer of superior merit to the one advertised." Like his Heathen Chinee, Francis Bret is sometimes peculiar. Is the Catholic church making formidable progress in England? Such would seem to be the case for it is stated in a despatch from Rome thus another ecclesiastical province is to be established in that country, with Liverpool as the metropolitan area. A Diabolical Scheme.—A veterinary surgeon who lives in Buffalo, N.Y., tried to "founder" his mother-in-law by dancing a polka with her until she got warmed up, and then ging her all the ice lemonade she could drink. "And the devil came also," The Examiner has pronounced partisan journalism and now ranges itself along side the "Independent press," Really, this thing is getting to be too internally ridiculous.—Maryville Appeal.
