The next place of special interest in Semi-tropical California is Anaheim distant by mill about twenty-seven miles from Los Angeles and one of the most noted places in Los Angeles county. The stranger, entering this pleasant little town, from the north, as I did, meets a mile or so out in the suburbs, with a marked suggestion of the future character of its surroundings in the handsome villa of Mr. Saxon (a whillom habitue of Wall street, New York), with its tastefully arranged park. It will not be many years before numbers of wealthy men, like the gentleman just named, will enlist his example in retiring from the noise and bustle of commercial and stock dabbling life, and build comfortable and elegant retreats like his, in which to pass the evening of life, amid the beautiful scenery and health-giving surroundings of Semi-tropical California. The town itself, at first sight, does not differ materially from dozens of other small places which I have been in and passed through without stopping to admire. But the place has a history. I heard it from the lips of one of its pioneers; not, however, until I had been driven to Anaheim Landing, through one of the richest grazing countries I have ever passed through; and really after that drive, I did not think the founders of this colony had done much to bring of, seeing that they had had, as I supposed a fertile plain out of which to carve their homesteads, and create their fifty odd vineyards, orchards and gar- CARRIFGE PAINTER: Opposit: Poplar Row, CENTRE STREET...ANAHEIM All kinds of Carriage Painting done in the Very Best Stylc.

The town itself is light, does not differ materially from dozens of other small places which I have been in and passed through without stopping to admire. But the place has a history. I heard it from the lips of one of its pioneers; not however, until I had been driven to Anaheim Landing, through one of the richest grazing countries I have ever passed through; and really after that drive, I did not think the founders of this colony had done much to brag of seeing that they had had, as I supposed a fertile plain out of which to carve their homesteads, and create their fifty odd vineyards, orchards and gardens. But, mark you, I was mistaken. Anaheim was a cactus and sage-brush patch when it was purchased by the joint stock company who laid out the settlement. The ancient Californiaian who sold the original tract to the company, 1,165 acres at two dollars per acre, told the purchasers that it was not fit for a pasture for goats. And really, if one will take the trouble to walk out to the north-eastern boundary of the town and look at the cactus plains beyond, and realize that the entire space, now occupied by the colony, was just such a forbidding waste as that is now; he must necessarily admire the energy, industry and skill which has made such a wilderness blossom as the rose. The purchase of the tract was consummated in August 1857. Work was commenced on the twenty-ninth of September. From eighty to one hundred men were employed until January 1858, when, according to the plan determined upon, the entire tract was subdivided into fifty twenty-acre lots; a town site with an equal number of building lots being reserved in the centre; each colonist being entitled to a twenty-acre field and a town lot. In September, 1859, the sum of $70,000 had been expended. Eight acres in each twenty-acre lot had been planted in vines. Twelve families arrived that year. The next year there were thirty; the year following the full complement had taken possession of their future homes where with possibly two or three exceptions; they remain until the present time; contented, prosperous and prospering. An irrigating ditch, five miles in length, with cross ditches through the entire tract, was constructed; the borders planted with willow, sycamore or cottonwood; and to-day the green lanes formed by these trees cannot be excelled; I venture to say, in merry England, for picturesque and rural beauty. There was a partial failure of the vintage in the dry season of '63 and '64; and in 1873 an untimely frost reduced the product to 300,000 as against 700,000 to 800,000 gallons, which is the present average yield. The original eight acres of vineyard which each colonist found planted to his hand on his arrival has been increased by subsequent plantings to; in many, in fact most cases, from fifteen to eighteen acres; the remaining acre or two being occupied by the dwelling houses, flower and kitchen gardens, alfalfa patches, fruit orchards; etc. One of these twenty-acre tracts, which cost $40 fourteen years ago, sold the other day for $6,000; and is considered very Great Reduction LUMBER!!

The original eight acres of vineyard which each colonist found planted to his hand on his arrival has been increased by subsequent plantings to, in many, in fact most cases, from fifteen to eighteen acres, the remaining acre or two being occupied by the dwelling houses, flower and kitchen gardens, alfalfa patches, fruit orchards, etc. One of these twenty-acre tracts, which cost $10 fourteen years ago, sold the other day for $6,000, and is considered very cheap at that. A walk or drive through the green lines dividing the vineyards reveals upon each twenty-acre lot a neat, tasty, comfortable house; every one of which boasts its flower garden and grass plate. An air of thrift and home-like comfort is the prevailing characteristic. The public buildings consist of a Presbyterian and a Catholic church; a Masonic hall; which cost $4,000; an Odd Fellow's hall; costing $9,000; the former a franck building; the latter a brick; two hotels; the Planters' and the Anaheir; and a school house; co-ling about $2,000. The lower portion of the Masonic hall building is also used for school purposes. There is also a comfortable public hall used for the purposes to which such buildings are usually applied. When Anaheir was first taken possession of by the colonists, there was not a settlement between the town and the ocean; a distance of some twelve or thirteen miles. All that is changed; and I find myself somewhat at a loss to know just how to write of said transformation. The French, when they find themselves surrounded by a superabundance of the good and beautiful either in nature or art, give it up, shrug their shoulders, and exclaim, "un embourisse du riches," and stay to admire or pass on to remember. It is even so with me in writing of this wonderful county of Los Angeles. I hardly know how to go about conveying any idea of the marvelous products of soil and innumerable wealth of resources. Go sight has been the growth of the town of late years; that it has been found necessary to increase the original limits to meet the demand for building lots. The town site now comprises 2,200 acres instead of 1,140, as originally laid out. It is not alone. GAZETTE NO. 8. Special interest in the situation in Anaheim, about twenty-seven Angeles and one of New Los Angeles. During this pleasant north, as I did, it in the suburbs, suggestion of the surroundings in Mr. Saxon (a Wall street, New beautifully arranged many years be healthy man, like manned, will entertaining from the commercial and build comfortreats like his, in opening of life, amid and health-giving of Semi-tropicalown itself, at first materially from all places which I passed through with fire. But the place card it from the pioneers; not, how-ism driven to Ana-hrough one of the cities I have ever really after that took the founders of me much to bring of had, as I supposed of which to carve and create their orchards and gardens. However, as having successfully demonstrated the capacity of a repulsive looking cactus plantation for the successful production of grapes, oranges, grains, vegetables, small fruits, and in fact everything necessary to support life, that these plodding and irresponsible Anahelmers have, while benefiting themselves, conferred a benefit upon the entire country. Nearly in the centre of the settlement, a parallelogram of Lombardy poplars, from eight inches to fifteen in diameter, and from sixty to seventy feet high, the growth of eight years, show something of what can be effected in this region in the way of forest culture. The last benefactor who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grow before, how much greater benefactors are they, the influence of whose example will in a few years at the most, transform miles upon miles of veritable plains to a region of beautifully-diverified groves and orchards. But I shall revert to this particular topic again. The Anahelmers claim great virtue for their climate as a resort for invalids. A gentleman of wealth and a consumptive, who spent years in the search of region in which he could prolong his days, if not obtain a new lease of life, kept a series of observations. Selecting Montone in France, and Alken in South Carolina, as the most favorable localities, he gives the result of his observations in the following statement: During December, January and February, at Anaheim, an invalid could have been out of doors all day—eighty-one days. Confined indoors by bad weather, nine days. At Mentone, during the corresponding months, there were of fair days, bespoke prosperity and contentment. The most interesting feature about the place, however, was the saturation well which from a depth of one hundred and seventy feet, sent up a granite filament of as clear and soft and beautiful water as ever the open ground again. The supply furnished is far more than sufficient to irrigate his little farm of forty acres. His success in that direction, however, determines the practicability of obtaining a supply of water whenever needed in that portion of the country. Returning to Anaheim by a circuitous route, Mr. Olkin drove through other equally favored regions; and when we reached the outer edge of the settlements we entered upon a succession of grain fields, which promised all that the most exacting husbandman could possibly wish. The feasibility of irrigation being established, the future of these lands is assured. Stock prices will have their farms of three hundred and twenty or six hundred and forty acres—it may be more, or even less. Substantial fences will divide their lands into pasture lots. Altitudes will take the place of the natural grasses. And as one division is exhausted the grazing herds will occupy another, and a constant succession of crops will make the hardman independent of times and seasons. Large tracts are purchasable now at from fifteen to twenty-five dollars per acre. Smaller tracts with improvements at from forty to sixty dollars. The influx of purchasers and liquefiers is great and constantly increasing, and those who wish to purchase at the above figures will do well to make haaste. The company are entering upon the construction of an immense ditch, which will be completed within eleven square miles. I was mistaken at the places which I passed through with care. But the place around it from the pioneers; not, how far driven to Anaheim one of the cities I have ever really after that took the founders of me much to bring of, had as I supposed of which to carve and create their orchards and garments. At Anaheim and sage-brush purchased by the city who laid out the beautiful California tract to the com­fort two dollars per hectare that it was large for goats. And take the trouble to north-eastern bound—look at the cactus realize that the occupied by the such a forbidding city, he must necessitate industry and life such a wilderness. The purchase of commenced in August commenced on the September.

Selecting Mentone in France, and Alken in South Carolina, as the most favorable localities, he gives the result of his observations in the following statement: During December, January and February, at Anaheim, an invalid could have been out of doors all day—eighty-one days. Confined indoors by bad weather, nine days. At Mentone, during the corresponding months, there were of fair days, sixty-seven; there were of bad days, twenty-three. At Alken, during the corresponding months, there were of fair days, fifty-three; there were of bad days, thirty-seven. At Anaheim, rain thirteen days, strong winds three days. At Mentone, rain twenty-eight days, strong winds twenty-three days. At Alken, rain fourteen days, snow one day, and strong winds thirty-two days. At Anaheim, average difference between wee and dry bulb, 6½°; at Mentone, 6°; at Alken, 5°. At Anaheim, average temperature, three months, 61°; maximum, 77½°; minimum, 498°. At Mentone, average temperature for three months, 48½°; maximum, 61½°; minimum, 35½°. At Alken, average temperature for three months, 53½°; maximum, 70°; minimum, 30°. The author of the above statement feels confident that nowhere else in the world can atmospheric and climatic conditions so favorable to those suffering from pulmonary affections be found. I have heard similar testimony from the lips of many others. One of the features of Anaheim is the establishment of Mr. B. Dreyfus, who owns about two hundred acres of the vineyards in this vicinity. His annual vintage; the season being propitious; averages about 175,000 gallons; the whole of which finds a market at the east. Mr. Dreyfus has a reputation for wine-making fully equal to that achieved by the older man. He does not however ask his guests to small the glass only; but sets best he has before them. If, however, they do no more than small the glass they will find that there lingers therein an aroma which renders "a bush" unnecessary. He informs me that the character of the wine formerly shipped east by California vinters had for a long time a depressing effect on the market, but that the prejudice thereby created has been measurably removed, and the future of the trade is well assured. Mr. D. has recently assumed control of the Cucamongo vineyard, and will, as a matter of course, largely increase his manufactures. Between the town of Anaheim and the ocean there intervene about twelve miles of a region which for all practical purposes may be called as level as a barn floor; although as a matter of course, there are not wanting gullies and depressions, and a gradual fall as the sea is approached.

It is not alone, a depressing effect on the market, but that the prejudice thereby created has been measurably removed, and the future of the trade is well assured. Mr. D. has recently assumed control of the Cucamongo vineyard, and will, as a matter of course, largely increase his manufactures. Between the town of Anaheim and the ocean, there intervene about twelve miles of a region which for all practical purposes may be called as level as a barn floor; although, as a matter of course, there are not wanting guilies and depressions, and a gradual fall as the sea is approached. The continuous and adjoining settlements extend out about three miles beyond the limits of the town. From that point to the ocean the use of the land is confined principally to sheep herding although from the line of the road to the landing the farm houses of the West-minster colonists can be distinctly seen. My drive to the landing was through one continuous field of burr clover, wild alfalfa and alderin. Here and there a sandy swale, marking the old bed of a water course, broke the continuity of this wonderful natural pasture, the rank luxuriance of which bespoke the extreme fertility of the soil. Of Anaheim Landing, I consider it unnecessary to say anything further than that it answers the purpose of an embarcadero. I do not think it has any very brilliant future, as a portport, before it. The day after my trip to the landing I was invited by Mr. Olden, Agent of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company, to accompany him in a drive over a route to the north and west of the line of the prelinging day's launt. This was but a repetition of what I had already seen so far in the character of the soil and scenery was concerned. Miles upon miles of seagent feed for horses, cattle and sheep which, where it had been pastured the closest, was almost remaining a vigorous growth. A little more than half way between Anaheim and the sea we drove up to a small farm house in inspect its surroundings. The proprietor is a Cornish miner who having saved up a few hundred dollars concluded to give up underground work and try surface digging. He has built himself a comfortable mastade with convenient outhouses; his own he had a good supply of the yellow grain; his vegetable garden, pig pen, sheep corral and other adjuncts. Other people may do as they please, but as for myself I would rather pass onward down the vista of years beyond the purple boundaries of youth and into the serene plackidity of a passionless old age as bald as a watermelon than to frisk about with nodosites and fusiform corpuscles in my hair. This information will be valuable for the purpose of detecting persons who wear purchased trousers. When I go to church now and see discold porosperms playing their little pranks upon the heads of the women in the pew in front of me, I will know that her collure is a base capillary fraud, and when I see a spherical no-dose parading around the rim of a man's hat I will have sufficient evidence that the man wears a delusive wig. The Indians ought to know about this, for then, when one dashes up to a woman with a tomahawk in his hand, a knife in his teeth, death in his eye, and a yearning for scalp in his heart, a glimpse of the pastrida navelline balancing himself on his blind legs on that woman's waterfall will induce him to put up his artillery and go home in disgust. What the aboriginal American needs is scientific information. DYSPREMA—Dr. Brown-singham's method of treating dyspepsia which he has found successful in the majority of cases during ten years' practice; in on the principle of eating little fruit often. Take from one to four months at once; but eat again in twenty or thirty minutes. Use nourishing food and drink; as moist or billed meats, and especially beef, maitens, egg, well baked bread, and milk with butter and cheese; and a very moderate quantity of vegetables and fruits.Based on milk in accordance with standard water and the quantity of solid food for one day should not exceed forty ounces. This plan need not be pursued but two or three weeks when return may be hailed to the ordinary rule of three meals a day. By this method the stomach is gently and steadily occupied but not overloaded. Douglas Jerrod says, in his "Hedging Letters," that guardability is all very well for folks who can have it for really money; but to be obliged to run in debt for this enough to bank the heart of an angel.
