From Monday's Daily. ANAHEIM. Ambition has ruined others besides Caesar and Cardinal Woolsey; not only have men and women fallen under its blight, but towns have felt the poison and have succumbed to the inward fever and to the outward smart. But Anaheim is not ambitious, even though it can boast of many modern improvements. We are a simple people, and possess neither a loud horn, a well tuned organ, nor a rich Senator. The praises of our fair neighbors have been sung and enceded from Maine to Florida, and the tintinabulations have come to the Rocky Mountains and have been echoed back again, until there is hardly a hamlet which has not heard its sweet song. But what are we? why are we so coy and still? The maidens wait to be wooed, yet some do seem to prepare for their fate. Perhaps, like an individual lately referred to in these columns, we are waiting for something to turn up—a Boat. Eds.

An Abundance of Water For Irrigation The praises of our fair neighbors have been sung and encored from Maine to Florida, and the tintinabulations have come to the Rocky Mountains and have been echoed back again, until there is hardly a hamlet which has not heard its sweet song. But what are we? why are we so coy and still? The maidens wait to be wooed, yet some do seem to prepare for their fate. Perhaps, like an individual lately referred to in these columns, we are waiting for something to turn up—a Bonanza, a Jones, a—well, no matter what, only something for a starter. In the language of the eloquent orator of a century since, "Shall we lay supinely upon our backs until we are bound hand and foot," or, to drop down to plain prose, until Orange, Westminster, Los Angeles and Santa Monica lose their suburban character and become commercial centres, while we dwindle away and pass out of existence in the next Santa Ana wind. Let us examine our assets, lay before ourselves our actual possibilities, and as one man turn our attention for the next ten years to making our beautiful village all that its capabilities will admit of its becoming. Let other towns erect castles in the air, to burst when touched by actual investigation, but let us build a substantial prosperity by making the most of the advantages we do possess, and by advancing in the path now plainly open before us. As a farming centre we stand foremost in the entire county, and, as a health resort we cannot be equaled, all things considered. This has been amply proved by people of large travel and experience, who have tried every available place in the county. As a place for homes we present attractions of a very high order. We cannot expect to enter very largely into manufactures at present, but we can emphasize our advantages as a place of resort, and draw within our borders thousands, who are waiting to come to this favored climate, provided they can be suited in a home. Our prosperity from the surrounding farms is placed beyond question. It remains for us to make our village as much like an Eastern town as climate and country will permit; to perfect our streets and walks; to provide pleasant cottage homes for the use of strangers; to lay out a park with trees; and a reservoir in the centre, for a cool and shady retreat on hot summer days; to do a thousand things which require thought and plan and united action, and especially when our new hotel is finished, to advertise truthfully, clear- Deeds: Michael Phelin the acres in Santingo de Mary Strobel to Building lot 12, South Estate of Mary Strobel —Lots 16, 17 and bel homestead, in South Tract, Anaheim; $50 Joseph Jordan to Mary Strobel homestead A.

Baltimore has struck out a new idea in transferring grain, which promises to be very useful, and which must revolutionize the customs of the older and less enterprising ports. The cars containing the grain are run directly upon a two-story scow, and towed alongside the vessels, and thus the work of transfer is accomplished by gravitation, the grain running of itself down the pipes into the hold, and saving the time and expense of the old system of shovelling out of lighters, as now practiced at New York. The new Baltimore plan can, of course, be adopted with advantage wherever the cars are unable to come alongside the vessels. Carreation. ANAHEIM, August 7. Ens.

GAZETTE:—Fleeing from the intense heat to take shelter in the house, with doors and windows open, I ask myself how do our cow- and horses stand the heat? Do they not at least need an open shed to protect them from the fierce rays of our almost tropical sun? We complain o heat, with the thermometer in the shady part of the house at 99°, yef many forget the dumb animals, exposed to the open rays of the sun. I hope I am not pleading in vain. C.W.S. Orange, Aug. 5th. The Mutual Aid Association. As there are many members of the above association in this vicinity, the following letter will be of interest: Directors S. C. M. A. Association.

Grangerville, Tulare Co., Cal. July 25th, 1875. while it is so pleasant to think of orange groves, of olives and vineyards, and where one can literally sit under his own vine and fig tree, and eat the fruit of the latter, too, in two or three years from the time of putting the cutting into the ground—It is also well to know of the drawbacks to the accomplishing of it, of the plantings and replantings and re-replantings, and a patience born of many generations of Jobs, well fortified by grace withal to endure quietly the trials attendant on this Eden life. Your correspondent has sown the seed, and set out cuttings for thousands of trees, and tens of thousands of vines, and as a Christian privilege and duty, has prayed for a success. The seeds germinated, the cuttings grew. The hares and gophers also preyed, and beat him ten to one; so that where there should have been a flourishing vineyard of muscats for table use, or drying for raising, two men may now ride on horseback 25 feet apart without being able to see each other,the mustard and sun flower towering above their heads.

The O'Connell Centennary-Celebration is continued to-day. The ceremonies began with a grand procession through the streets. This evening several banquets and balls will take place. NEW YORK, Aug. 6. The O'Connell Centenniary was begun in this city this A.M. by a celebration in St. Stephens' church of pontifical high mass by Bishop Carrigan of New York. A large number of Clergy assisted, and a large congregation was present. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 6.

Knowing somewhat of the interest taken by Eastern residents and readers of The Evangelist, in this far-off land, permit an old settler of nearly three years to relate his experience—or a little of it,—for the benefit of those seeking knowledge. "Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom"; and with all thy getting get—well, there, I am off the track; ah yes, I have it, get money! that's it; just what I came out for, and am likely to get, too, having been eminently successful in laying in a stock of wisdom already sufficient for many a rainy day in the future, thus auguring well for a like achievement as relates to the second-best—though I really think the majority must be right in placing it a 'leetle' ahead of the former—wisdom being a good thing in its place, but less valuable because so easily obtained, as proven by the fact that not only we, but every other man is, so plethoric with it. However, that is a mere matter of opinion. Solomon was a very wise man—in his time. It would be a pity if we had not learned a good way ahead of him in so many thousand years. As to Southern California, Nordhoff—you know Mr Nordhoff, real clever fellow; fine place on the Palisades—he can tell you all about it a great deal better than I can, for he knows just how to mix the colors and how to "lay it on." while I am but a common flourishing vineyard of muscats for table use, or drying for raising, two men may now ride on horseback 25 feet apart without being able to see each other,the mustard and sun flower towering above their heads. "Why don't you keep dogs to drive away the hares?" Dogs like sleep at night, and hares let the dogs alone. "Why don't you keep cats to catch gophers?" We have thirteen, and are expecting a new crop every day. You pound dogs to death in New York every hour. Are they any the less in number? "Then you are disgusted with the country, I suppose," is probably your remark. Not a bit of it. We live here. We do not shiver in Winter nor swelter in Summer. We sleep at night also—do not roll and toss and fret; but at the close of the warmest day, with a sheet and blanket over us, lie in perfect repose, the thermometer ranging in the fifties, and generally in the seventies, from 12 till 3 P.M. Since the 1st of June,it has gone from eighty to eighty-five degrees twelve times,but it is always below sixty degrees at night. We get this from the Gazette which runs a thermometer pro bono publico. The part of the country where I live is but a few miles from a growing little town, called Orange. Rev. Mr. Allis, a Presbyterian, preaches here every Sabbath to an interested and interesting people. He is settled in Anaheim, where he has a growing church,and is said to be much liked there also.

The O'Connell Centennial was celebrated last night by a meeting at Platt's Hall, under the auspices of the Knights of St. Patrick. The oration was delivered by J.J.Tobin. It was a carefully prepared effort.Daniel O'Connell recited a poem. San Francisco News. However, that is a mere matter of opinion. Solomon was a very wise man—in his time. It would be a pity if we had not learned a good way ahead of him in so many thousand years. As to Southern California, Nordhoff—you know Mr Nordhoff, real clever fellow; fine place on the Palisades—he can tell you all about it a great deal better than I can, for he knows just how to mix the colors and how to "lay it on," while I am but a common house painter—and outhouse at that—and quite as likely to say, from my want of perception, the sandy slopes as grassy slopes; the weeds and bushes, as flowers and shrubs; mudpuddle, as translucent lake; irrigating ditch, as babbling brook; and many find fault with him for having used the more beautiful language instead of the more homely, not perceiving that their own inventive imagination had imparted an extra gloss to the picture, making it appear to them as they wished to see it. The great eye-sore of this coast, or this part of it at least, and which gives greater disappointment than almost all else beside, is the entire absense of sod. The Eastern eye; accustomed to its emerald-green, cannot reconcil itself to the almost unvarying brown of its Summer barren hills, and almost treeless plains; and these Nordhoff did not tell of, for the good reason that he was not here in the Summer, but was describing a Winter, when foot-hill and plain, mountain-side and river-bank were covered with verdure, and flowers bloomed everywhere. A person writing of a country, as he did, must needs receive much of his information from others; while these, being older residents, and interested in its advance by population, would be slow to mention that which was disagreeable, and would affect immigration unfavorably. So with regard to its productions. Here certainly, so far as my observation extends, there has been no exaggeration. And yet, SAN FRANCISCO, August, 7. The O'Connell Centennial was celebrated last night by a meeting at Platt's Hall, under the auspices of the Knights of St. Patrick. The oration was delivered by J. J. Tobin. It was a carefully prepared effort. Daniel O'Connell recited a poem. San Francisco News. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7. The split in the Democratic party was healed last night, the County and State Central Committees affiliating on the basis of representation—80 of the former and one of the latter. After adopting the report of the Committee on Order of Business, they adjourned to Monday evening. By the capsizing of a plunger in the bay, yesterday evening, an unknown man was drowned. The boat also sunk, leaving no means of identification. Banquet to Sargent. GRASS VALLEY, Aug. 6. Sargent arrived this forenoon. A number of citizens of all parties tendered him a banquet, many miners being among the number, who favor his mining bill. LATER—the town is ablaze with light, and banners are flying. Sargent is addressing a large and enthusiastic audience. A banquet will be given immediately after the speaking. Political Meeting. NEVADA, Aug. 6. Gov. Pacheco is addressing the Independents here to-night. The Lee Case. BEAVER, Utah, Aug. 6. The Jury in the Lee case has been out twenty-five hours with no prospect of a verdict. If one be reached it will disappoint everybody. There is a general impression, which seems to be well-founded, that the jury stand ten in favor of conviction and two for acquittal, with a prospect of being changed to eleven to one. Great interest is manifested in the Jury'a action. It is thought they will ask to be discharged to-morrow. Dame is confined at Fort Cameron. In Memoriam. Resolutions passed at the last meeting of Fairview Grange, No. 39, P. of H. Beecher Again. NEW YORK, August 7. Despatches from the White Mountains; where Beecher is staying, says that a rumor is in circulation that F. D. Moulton has partially prepared a plan to bring an action against Beecher, in that county, for swearing to his reply to the Tilton suit last year. Beecher has introduced in the hotel a feature of morning prayer, which will be continued during the time he remains. More of the Nathan Murder. CHICAGO, Aug. 6. The Times will to-morrow publish a statement obtained from a prisoner named Billy Forester, now serving ten years in the State penitentiary at Joliet for burglary. The statement is in substance that he is fully cognizant of facts pertaining to the Nathan murder, though he cannot point out the man who struck the blow. He can name three professional burglars who attempted, with the co-operation and cognizance of certain high officials in New York, to open a safe in the Nathan mansion and who, while making this attempt, aroused Mr. Nathan and between them, in order to escape, killed him with an iron dog, which they were using as a professional tool. He refuses to reveal the names of these parties because he fears that it will interfere with his plan of bringing them to justice, and revenging himself on them for their persistent persecutions of himself. Should he secure pardon, as he hopes to do, he will make this the object of his life. He affirms that the relatives of the murdered man had no knowledge of the way in which he came to his death and denies the truth of the stories recently published in New York and elsewhere concerning the murder. Election News: LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 6. Indications now are that McCreary has carried the State by from eight to ten thousand more votes than for Leslie in 1874. Majority may reach 45,000.

MOUNTAIN HOUSE, N. H., Aug. 8. The first of Henry Ward Beecher's vacation sermons was delivered here this morning to a large audience. He defined morality and spirituality, and avowed his belief in the importance of both. He discussed their relative values, decaring the latter as well as the former, indispensable to salvation. Railroad War. CHICAGO, August 8. The Kansas City Missouri says the war in rates between the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern railroad and competing lines East, has reached an interesting point to the traveling public. The above-named roads here out down the farmland. Suspended Business MONTREAL, August 9. During the past week 12 commercial firms in this city which are perfectly secured as far as assets and liabilities are concerned, have been obliged to make special arrangements with creditors for extension of time to get their engagements. Yesterday five roughs attempted forcibly to enter the house of a respectable woman named Mrs. Downs at Port Charles when she fired into them killing one, named Mochan. NEW YORK, Aug. 8. It is stated that the American Jockey Club deposited $200,000 with the Duncan, Sherman & Co., on the Saturday before the failure. The ship Seminole, from San Francisco, arrived to-day. Ship Henry, for San Francisco, sailed to-day. WATERTOWN, N. Y., Aug. 8. The Steamer York was burned to the waters edge to-day at Moshema. OTTOWA, Aug. 8.

The jury in the Lee case asked to be discharged on Saturday morning, as there was no possibility of their agreeing. The Judge refused their request. The jury has since been discharged. An interview with one of the jurymen disclosed the fact that from the beginning of the balloting the jury stood Railroad War. CHICAGO, August 8. The Kansas City Missourian says the war in rates between the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern railroad and competing lines East, has reached an interesting point to the traveling public. The above-named roads have cut down the fares to $2 to St. Louis, and to-morrow the Hangible and St. Joe railroad will make the rate from Kansas City to Chicago and Indianapolis five dollars or ten dollars for the round trip. The rate from Kansas City to Chicago has been fixed at $11 50; to New York, $20. New York News. NEW YORK, Aug 8. There was a stormy season of politics yesterday. Gen. Smith declared that the demoralization of force was steadily increasing, and no effort was made to stop the tendency. A bond of union, he said, seemed to exist between members of boards for the purpose of defeating any measures calculated to improve the morality and efficiency of departments. Smith attended Commissioner Matzall, personally, as Editor of the Police Gazette, which was a school for the dives, and the best textbook for young villains. Sheriff Doggett to-day seized the ship Sarah Pignett and bark Georinna. The bark was laden with wheat and flour, and was lying at Martin Stone's Brooklyn, under writ of replevin, sued out in the New York Supreme Court by Albert Esbney and Elmon & Kent, against Archibald Baxter & Co., of New York, shipping merchants. The grain on these vessels is valued at $40,000 dollars, and was sold by Kent & Co. to Baxter and Co., a few days ago, the latter agreeing to pay cash, but they failed to keep their promise. A committee of the creditors of J B Ford & Co. recommended acceptances of 35 cents on the dollar in 12 monthly payments with interest. Serious Riots. LONDON, Aug. 8. A serious riot occurred yesterday in Glasgow, between Orangemen and Home Rulers, during the O'Connell celebration. Five policemen were injured. Fifty arrests were made. LONDON, Aug. 9. 5:30. A.M. Many fresh arrests were made in Glasgow last night, in consequence of renewed disturbances. Several rioters and policemen were injured. The military are held in readiness to prevent further disorder. An additional $100,000 has been recovered from the wreck of the Schiller. FRANKFORT, Pa., August 7. The terrific explosion at half past 9 this morning, at Bridesburg arsenal, was caused by the breaking up of condemned metallic ammunition. There were many reports of killed and injured, but only one person, a lad of about 18, was killed. About 22 others were hurt, several of whom cannot survive. NEWS IN BRIEE. The jury in the Lee case asked to be discharged on Saturday morning, as there was no possibility of their agreeing. The Judge refused their request. The jury has since been discharged. An interview with one of the jurymen disclosed the fact that from the beginning of the balloting the jury stood nine for acquittal, two for conviction and one willing to go either way. They are classified thus. For acquittal all the Mormons and one Gentile; one Gentile wavering; and two Gentiles for conviction. The jury was released and the case continued for the term. Cardinal McCloskey sailed on Saturday for Havre, on his way to Rome, where he will receive the hat and ring of a Cardinal. Advices from Damascus, dated July 22d, stated that cholera was raging there. Four hundred cases were reported daily. The Government income for the last fiscal year is larger than any estimate made, and more than realized the expectations of the Treasury officers. "A BASE FALSEHOOD." We have come into possession of the following telegrams, which require no explanation to be understood! Los Angeles, Aug. 5th, 1875. Hon. J. K. LUTTRELL, Santa Rosa: Houghton stated here last night that you pocketed the despatches from our Chamber of Commerce in relation to the bill introduced by him in the last session of Congress concerning the route of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and that you did not show them to him. Answer immediately. Answer paid. T. D. Mott. Fort Jones, Aug. 8th, 1875. T. D. Mott, Los Angeles: If Houghton states that I pocketed the despatches sent by your Chamber of Commerce, he states what he knows to be a base falsehood. Each and every telegram was presented to the Committee and used by me in arguments before the Committee. I showed the several telegrams to Houghton, which is evidenced by his telegraphing an explanation to California. He states to me that he thought there was something wrong in the bill. I then urged him to go before the Committee with me and protect the settlers of the San Joaquin, and the people of Los Angeles. He refused. J. K. LUTTRELL. The Daily Citizen and News, published at Lowell, Massachusetts, has the following: The news of the death of Mr. Charles A. Chase, formerly principal of the Green school of this city, comes by telegraph with painful suddenness to his many friends. He died yesterday morning, at the age of 31 years, at Anaheim, in the Southern part of California, whither he went last autumn in the hope of regaining his health. RENEWED disturbances. Several rioters and policemen were injured. The military are held in readiness to prevent further disorder. An additional $100,000 has been recovered from the wreck of the Schiller. FRANKFORT, Pa., August 7. The terrific explosion at half past 9 this morning, at Bridesburg arsenal, was caused by the breaking up of condemned metallic ammunition. There were many reports of killed and injured, but only one person, a lad of about 18, was killed. About 22 others were hurt, several of whom cannot survive. Wheat. STOCKTON, Aug. 9. The wheat market is very active today; prices quotable at $2,221,@2 30 for choice lots. The Wabash River. EVANSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 9. A letter from New Harmony says the Wabash river broke the levee near here on Saturday night and inundated farms, and destroyed a great amount of property. Tugs are towing barges loaded with stock, day and night, to places of safety. Thousands of acres of corn are submerged. Patent. WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.
