Leprosy was once considered the worst plague that could fall upon a man or upon a community. But in these times far worse evils exist. It is not physical but moral plagues that are doing fearful work in every direction. Among what might be called the "legion" of curses, coming to blight our fair land, is the rapidly growing habit of gambling. The worst feature of this curse is that it assumes such a variety of forms that the disease becomes rooted before its presence is detected. Parents, who would scorn to teach their children to gamble with cards, do teach them the same evil habit in the small games of chance into which they induct them. The grab bag, prize candy package, prize gum, and many other similar devices, creates in the young mind an appetite, which only Keno, or Faro, or Stock operations will satisfy in the adult. That such things have been permitted in certain churches does not alter their character, nor affect their influence. We are rapidly growing up to become a nation of gamblers. The worst feature of the case is that on this subject very many, who think they see clearly on moral questions, are entirely blind; or at best do not look VALUE OF AN ACID. W. A.

A correspondent of the New York Times, writing from London, under date of Sept. 15th, says: Mr. James Caird, who is supposed to be a great authority on agricultural questions, has published some interesting calculations as to the wheat crop of 1875. He shows that the fall in the prices of wheat last year was followed by a reduction of 330,000 acres in the breadth of wheat, or nearly one-tenth of the total wheat crop in the United Kingdom, and that there has generally in other countries been a diminished area of wheat. This year the harvest in this country has been three weeks later than last year, and its introduction to the market a whole month later; and Mr. Caird calculates that, allowing for the surplus from last year, little more than eleven months' consumption will have to be provided for until the next harvest comes round. This is 22,000,000 quarters altogether, half of which we have at home, and the rest must be got from abroad. From Russia and Germany a liberal supply may be expected. There is also a good stock to be drawn upon in France, and the farmers are holding back for higher prices. Mr. Caird says the chief apprehension is in regard to the supply from the United States and Canada. "From that source during the past three years we have annually received between 6,000,000 and 7,000,000 grain, and many other similar devices, creates in the young mind an appetite, which only Keno, or Faro, or Stock operations will satisfy in the adult. That such things have been permitted in certain churches does not alter their character, nor affect their influence. We are rapidly growing up to become a nation of gamblers. The worst feature of the case is that on this subject very many, who think they see clearly on moral questions, are entirely blind; or at best do not look through a single eye. Many who read this article will say that is all humbug. But when gambling with marbles and patronizing the many lotteries carried on on a small scale, leads inevitably to gambling in regular dens; to an unblushing patronage of fare, and the rouge et noir; to gambling in stocks, in grain, in cotton, in gold, it is time the Press lifted its voice in warning; it is time parents' and teachers' attention was called to the tendencies of the times. Let every man interested in purity of conscience, in keenness of moral judgment, in the establishment of sound, upright principles of honesty and integrity, examine this matter carefully, and seek to reach wise and safe conclusions, and to make these judgments the guide of their own life and be, as far as they can, the guide also of other lives. PROGRESS. Several late events seem to show that we, as a nation, are drawing near to a solution of the vexed problem as to the true basis of a stable currency. The calmness and solidity with which the immense capital of California has settled down to square, straightforward work, after the great failure, is very encouraging. This shows that the inflationist croakers of the East were too hasty in their rejoicing and erroneous in their judgment that gold was no better than promises as a basis of circulation. The expectation, and we may add the desire, of these Eastern wiseacres has not been gratified. The failure of the Bank of California has not decided the question in favor of inflation. The way men have rallied; the quiet, steady flow of the business down its accustomed channels, after so severe a stricture, exhibits beyond a cavil, that, after all, there is in gold as a basis of business and of circulation something far better than promises, something more abiding than any legalized fiction. The Ohio election testifies to the same conclusion. The people have a good culture, on an average annual annuum. General opinion from an acre of six-yr.vines; at San Jose last year. There is a vineyard in our county as well. "You will observe that the term 'drying.' It is not dried. Every person examined the best quality observed that instead being been merely experienced of curing it has been caused or grape sugar, and that raisins being but dried the case with dried prunes, etc., it is almost granulated sugar. A motion as this change of is effected with least risk the grape suitable for it. "The Larga loses fit weight in curing; there is no cent.; and other variegated Muscats, from 60 to 75 in other words, 100 pts will make from 30 pts raisins, according to grape used. You will notice that the amount of fruit will range from 3,000 light crop of Fiber grains from a heavy pts.From this it is easy to amount of cash from right here we wish to omit mind that we are written not tough, ill-flavored dried grapes, made Missionals Zinfindels Hamburgs, or any other grapes, or trash that he on the farm; but rail bright Bloom-colored sugary raisins.And once they become known we do not think that we mating the price where we can rely upon receiving cents per pound for this railroad; that the amount to $2,000 per coin.I have data of this character which leads clearing $1,000 per acre my vineyard, when in To plow the ground distributing ditches, for cuttings on the them in the best possessions worth $30 per acre.The first year, irrigating about the same as for an acre.Added to this year is an additional irrigation or a total cost year per acre.In addition to the cost of picking,cutting which makes a one-half cont per pound of cured raisins,the cost of boxes ,white additional expense,and to amount to much or to the manner in which ed." PARSON BROWNLOW says Governor Amies, of Mississippi, "knows about us little of the temper and wants of his constituents as a mule does of mathematics." A Mississippiian, who it is to be feared, is not entirely friendly to Governor Ames, says that the only possible inaccuracy in that comment is that it may be unjust to the mule. The article on raisin culture, which we publish to-day, is one which the farmers of Southern California will do well to read carefully. The cultivation of the raisin grape will in time become one of the leading industries of this section of California. The Ohio election testifies to the same conclusion. The people have a natural good judgment, which will not fail them when the time of decision comes, however wildly demagogues and politicians may talk. The same good common-sense will handle wisely other questions which are to be decided; and we may hope for continued advance in methods which shall raise our nation and people above every other. We are to lead the world in all the mighty changes which are to bring back again the beautiful Golden Age, about which poets have sung, and which men are yet again to enjoy. OLEGARIO, chief of the Temecula Indians is in Los Angeles, and has been interviewed by a Herald reporter, to whom he recited the story of the wrongs inflicted by the white men on the tribe of which he is chief. His story is that the Indians have occupied the lands of Temecula for centuries; that they have been dispossessed of those lands by the Sheriff of San Diego county, on the claim of a holder of a United States patent. On the day after their ejection a flock of 3,000 sheep were put into their fenced fields and their winter pasture has been eaten up, and their women and children are now in a starving condition, and the men are yagahonds who will be compelled to flee to the Sierras for support during the coming winter. Olegario denies that the Indians have threatened to commit depredations, but says that the whites of San Diego have given out that impression for the purpose of rebbling them of their lands, and to prevent the public from sympathizing with them. VALUE OF AN ACRE OF RAISINS. W. A. Saunders thus writes to the Fresno Expositor in reply to the inquiry, "What is the value of an acre of raisins?" "I take pleasure in complying with your request to give information as to the value of one year's product from an acre of raisins. I have in a single instance made 40 pounds of raisins from a single vine, pruned in the usual manner of vineyard pruning. These raisins sold at a country store, retail, for 25 cents per pound, or $10 per vine for the year. An acre of land would produce 700 such vines, giving a gross income of $7,000 per acre. But this is a result very far above what anybody must expect from raisin production. An acre of grapes of the Larga, Tokay, Fiber Zagos, or what Brother West calls 'White Malaga,' will produce in our superior climate and from our best soil, with an abundance of water and good culture, on mature vines, from 10,000 to 40,000 pounds of grapes per annum. General Negley gathered from an acre of six-year-old Reisling vines; at San Jose, 40,000 pounds last year. There is no reason why vineyards in our county should not do as well. "You will observe that I do not use the term 'drying.' Raisins are cured, not dried. Every person who has examined the best qualities of raisins has observed that instead of the juice having been merely expelled in the process of curing, it has been changed to glucose of grape sugar, and that instead of the raisins being but dried fruit fibre, as is Probable Murder. A man named Robert Coffey, well known in Anaheim, and who has for some time past been employed by Mr. C. B. Rawson, on the Niguel Rancho, was found dead yesterday morning near San Juan Capistrano. It appears that he left Iler's Hotel, in San Juan, on last Friday morning, for the purpose of attending a fandango, which was to be held a short distance from the town. Nothing having been heard of him, a search was made yesterday morning, which resulted in the discovery of his body in a brushy gulch, about one hundred yards from the house in which the fandango had been held. His throat was found to be cut from ear to ear, but nothing was discovered which would give a clue to the perpetrators of the horrible deed. The deceased has a sister living near Fort Yuma.—Daily Oct. 19. ORANGE ITEMS. The Sabbath School Picnic in the Santiago cafon on Saturday, was a warm success.

There is at the present time a large number of good Eastern farm hands in the State, many of them young married men with their wives, seeking good culture on mature vines from 10,000 to 40,000 pounds of grapes per annum. General Negley gathered from an acre of six-year-old Raisling vines, at San Jose, 40,000 pounds last year. There is no reason why vineyards in our county should not do as well. “You will observe that I do not use the term‘drying.’ Raisins are cured, not dried. Every person who has examined the best qualities of raisins has observed that instead of the juice having been merely expelled in the process of curing, it has been changed to glucose or grape sugar, and that instead of the raisins being but dried fruit fibre, as is the case with dried apples, peaches, plums, etc., it is almost a solid mass of granulated sugar. And just in proportion as this change of the juice to sugar is effected with least loss of weight, is the grape suitable for making raisins. “The Larga loses fifty per cent. of its weight in curing; the Tokay, 60 per cent.; and other varieties, including Museats, from 60 to 70 per cent. Or, in other words, 100 pounds of grapes will make from 30 to 50 pounds of raisins, according to the variety of grape used. You will thus observe that the amount of raisins per acre will range from 3,000 pounds from a light crop of Fiber Zagos, to 2,000 pounds from a heavy crop of Largas. From this it is easy to determine the amount of cash from an acre. And right here we wish to have it borne in mind that we are writing about raisins, not the tough, ill-flavored, hard-seeded, dried grapes, made from Catawbas, Missions, Zinfindels, Sweetwaters, Hamburgs, or any other wine, table-grapes, or trash that happens to grow on the farm; but raisins, fine, large, bright, bloom-colored, plump, luscious, sugary raisins. And for such, when once they become known to the world, we do not think that we are over-estimating the price when we assume that we can rely upon receiving at least 10 cents per pound for them, delivered at the railroad; that the gross sales will amount to $2,000 per acre, gold coin. I have data of the most positive character which leads me to rely upon clearing $1,000 per acre annually from my vineyard, when in full bearing. “To plow the ground well, construct distributing ditches, furnish the best of cuttings on the ground, and set them in the best possible manner, is worth $30 per acre. The care for the first year, irrigating, etc., would be about the same as for orn, say $10 per acre. Added to this after the first year is an additional expense for pruning, or a total cost yearly of about $15 per acre. In addition to this there is the cost of picking, curing and packing, which makes a total of about one-half cent per pound for each pound of cured raisins, not reckoning the cost of boxes, which would be an additional expense, and could be made to amount to much or little, according to the manner in which they are packed.” To the Farmers of California.

There is at the present time a large number of good Eastern farm hands in the State, many of them young married men with their wives, seeking employment. They mostly desire permanent work, and will labor for reasonable wages if such work is given them. We regard the present, in consideration of the above facts, as the best opportunity California farmers have ever had to begin a most desirable change in the labor system of the State—to give permanent employment to good steady laborers, instead of temporary work to those of a worthless character. There is also a large number of Eastern people with their families here, endeavoring to obtain land on which to make for them a livelihood—mostly wanting to rent farms on shares. Both these classes of people are daily and hourly applying to the Sacramento Valley Bureau of Information for assistance in obtaining their several wants. If you want labor of any kind described, send us your orders, laming the price you can pay. If you have land for sale or rent in any manner, send a description and terms, and such other information as will enable the Bureau to serve you. The Bureau is doing a good work for the country, and by giving it your business you can assist it in that work, and without expense to yourselves, serve your own business interests. Direct to: I. N.
