Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY ... NOV. 6, 1875. OUR WATER SUPPLY. In discussing the matter of fire preventives the first thought is to secure suitable engines. The next is a sufficient supply of water. The building of huge reservoirs would be a good solution of this question; but there is another which is better, and which will supply another necessity even more pressing than security against fire. This second necessity is the health and life of our citizens. It is well known that, while we are not in the artesian belt, yet by boring to a suitable depth, water can be brought within a few feet of the surface, and to that point it comes an undiminishable stream. Mr. Dreyfus has one of these wells on his vineyard. Ten hours pumping with his steam pump did not lower the stream a foot. These wells can be bored at a cost of not far from $150. There should be one of these wells on every lot, and no other wells should be dug or driven of less depth than the strata of water rarely feet below us. The reason of this is very plain. Our soil is very porous. In every yard there must be cesspools into which the entire waste water and decomposed matter of that locality will gather. Now, a well of only about thirty feet in depth cannot fail to receive some of the poison from these cesspools, which percolates through our open soil. Besides many of our areas and plants send down their roots to this depth for moisture, and there is more or less of decaying vegetable matter in the soil everywhere. As the water after our rains percolates downward, it absorbs this decaying matter and deposits it. If our ideas clash with those of any of our friends, we will be very sorry. We intend, however, in our editorial columns to publish what we believe to be right; and our columns are always open to discussions and communications on any subjects that may interest and benefit the community. OUR RELATIONS WITH CUBA. Heretofore Cuba has been swallowed up in the dignity and position of Spain. But late events seem to point to the emergence of this sturdy company of patriot Republicans from the shades of nonentity to a full-grown and stalwart Government. The views of the United States upon the Monroe Doctrine would forbid our having any sympathy with an attempt to establish there a Kingdom. And had Spain continued under kingly rule, and had no part of her citizens attempted to establish a republic, this nation would not have held her peace so long in regard to Cuba. While so large and important a part of the Spanish people were struggling toward a free, popular Government, it, of course, seemed in very poor taste for this successful nation to complicate or to harrass matters by recognizing the independence of Cuba. But now that the citizens of that island have shown by their persistency, sacrifice, ability and patriotism, that they are capable of existing as a separate nationality, and since the people of Spain, on the contrary, show a lack of qualities which can lead us to expect a near establishment of a republic in Spain, it becomes us to consider what we owe to this small people, who show by every quality of manliness and devotion, that they nationally speaking, are one kindred. Besides, we have a duty to humanity which we cannot leave undischarged. This bitter and sanguinary conflict has the mean ones it carries n't mind it so much, but enough. Their means mail to them. We w tendion to a fact that he known, and is of the how rapidly the virus disappeared that exist two sections subsequent the rebellion. Our r were both soldiers for Judge Marshall belong Virginia Confederate term "rebel," therefore erase; although if wa ing in the same cause gloried in the name of elected from the infi community of Orange phreys belonged to the Rebel Infantry, (he de term) and was elected jority of 25, while O candidate for Superintendent instruction, received a While were are on will call Northern new tion to one fact whiche value to them. We Northern men seeking fertile region, who, as conveniently, assure us sort of way, that th Northern State, but th thiles are and always The fact we wish to def ion to is this: that th more despicable in th Southern soldier, th man, who expressed s South during the war as far as they could, and votes,the prosecutors were not men enough for either side. We Southern soldiers, an meet the first one ther ferent opinion than th entire waste water and decomposed matter of that locality will gather. Now a well of only about thirty feet in depth cannot fail to receive some of the poison from these cesspools, which perculates through our open soil. Besides many of our areas and plants send down their roots to this depth for moisture, and there is more or less of decaying vegetable matter in the soil everywhere. As the water after our rains percolates downward, it absorbs this decaying matter and deposits it in the nearest water strata. And from this doubly poisoned stream our shallow wells are supplied. Besides, again, our water strata at the depth of thirty feet is not disconnected with some exposed marshy region, for it has been noticed that newly dug wells will produce mosquitoes immediately, long before the eggs can be deposited and the embryo pass through the wriggly period, and come out fully developed mosquitoes. The importance of a supply of water free from organic matter cannot be overestimated. The relation between good water and health is exceedingly intimate. If we continue using the water from shallow wells, we shall have an increase of fevers especially those of a typhoid character and also of a type which will baffle the skill of our most competent physicians. Now let both these great objects—abundance of water for fire and pure water for health—be secured by boring deep wells. If these are provided in all our yards there will always be a plentiful supply of water in close proximity to any fire, and we shall have less deaths from fevers of a typhoid type. Then with one or two good Amoskeag steam engines, capable of throwing three or four streams, we shall be as well prepared as is possible to human foresight. OUR PLATFORM. A gentleman called upon us this morning and expressed his disapproval of an editorial article published yesterday; in which we pointed out the danger attendant on the continued use, for domestic purposes, of water from the first strata. On the authority of physicians we stated that the use of water from such wells was detrimental to health, and could not fail to be productive of fevers of a typhoid type. This is a subject upon which scores of medical men have written, and upon which all agree. We said that every yard ought to be supplied with wells at least ninety feet in depth, both as a sanitary measure and as furnishing anism, that they are capable of existing as a separate nationality, and since the people of Spain, on the contrary, show a lack of qualities which can lead us to expect a near establishment of a republic in Spain, it becomes us to consider what we owe to this small people, who show by every quality of manliness and devotion, that they nationally speaking, are one kindred. Besides, we have a duty to humanity which we cannot leave undischarged. This bitter andanguinary conflict has continued about six years. A hundred thousand Spanish troops have been slaughtered, and as a necessary complement, as many more of the Cubans have fallen. This, not to speak of the desolated homes and broken hopes of both countries, presents abundant reason why we should lend our moral support to a people so determined to be free, and who have so plainly proved their right and capability to become a nation. We have given these combatants a fair field, and plenty of time; we cannot separate them and remain friendly with both; we cannot discard the smaller, if not the weaker, party. Our only course in attempting to stop this waste of human life, and this increase of human suffering, is to give to Cuba the right hand of fellowship as a sister republic. If this is going too far, we can recognize the parties as belligerents, and when the war is ended, can take other and proper steps. Of course the way Spain will look upon such a movement ought to be considered. Were she England, Germany, or France, other complications might ensue. But being as she is, it would seem as if to recognize Cuba as a belligerent would add such a weight to that side of the scale, that Spain would conclude it were best to make the most of her destiny, and endeavor to take good care of her own life before wasting further energy upon a hopeless colony. BION'S REFLECTIONS. He Groweth Discursives—and Ventilateth his views on certain subjects. We were riding in a Los Angeles street car last week, when a tolerably decent looking colored man came in and seated himself beside a tall gentleman, with a suit of clothes on that looked as if they had been taken up tenderly and lifted with care to prevent them falling to pieces. No sooner had the innocent darkey sat down than the aristocratic gentleman with the tender garments jumped up. "Stop the car, conductor," he shouted; "stop the car; I don't ride with niggers." danger attendant on the continued use, for domestic purposes, of water from the first strata. On the authority of physicians we stated that the use of water from such wells was detrimental to health, and could not fail to be productive of fevers of a typhoid type. This is a subject upon which scores of medical men have written, and upon which all agree. We said that every yard ought to be supplied with wells at least ninety feet in depth, both as a sanitary measure and as furnishing an inexhaustible supply of water in case of a fire. But our visitor contended that the discussion of such subjects would work an injury to the town! Now, we contend that it is our duty to point out public defects, so that they may be remended. We have devoted considerable time and space to the condition of the public thoroughfares. In this we met with a hearty sympathy, and the people have expressed themselves determined to have the roads placed in a better condition. We have urged that steps be taken to prevent the destruction of our town by fire, and a meeting of citizens was called and the matter of constructing water clisterns is now in the hands of a committee. We now urge a remedy for a matter which affects the public health, and we doubt not that a discerning public will thank us for calling attention to so vital a matter. It is especially important for a town in the earlier stages of development to start out in its parser in accordance with plans which this civilized age has demonstrated to be correct. Defects can now be remedidied with little trouble or cost which in a few years would assume such gigantile proportions as to render fatile any attempts looking to their remedy. Finally, the proprietors of the GAZEREN are as deeply interested in the welfare and future of Anaheim as any person now living here, and the final object of all their endeavors will be toward the development of the town. We were riding in a Los Angeles street car last week, when a tolerably-decent looking colored man came in and sented himself beside a tall gentleman, with a suit of clothes on that looked as if they had been taken up tenderly and lifted with care to prevent them falling to pieces. No sooner had the innocent darkey sat down than the aristocratic gentleman with the tender garments jumped up. "Stop the car, conductor," he shouted; "stop the car; I don't ride with niggers." We wondered in our own mind where that man had been for so many years. If he heard the other passengers laugh as he stepped off the platform, it must have hurt his feelings, for he was evidently of a very sensitive nature. We were at one time prejudiced against the negro, ourselves, and when the Government determined to put colored regiments in the field, we had serious thoughts of letting the Government put down the rebellion without the aid of our valuable services. Our patriotism restrained us, however, and when we saw a score or two of black men lying dead on the field after a battle, we were thoroughly converted. We never depicted the right of a black man to get killed as well as a white, after that. It was difficult to convert the Irish soldiers into accepting the situation, but "Miles O'Reilly" made many of them see the nonsense of their prejudice, when he sang: "Some tell us 'tis a burnin' shame To make the niggurs fight, An't that the thrade of belu' kilt Belongs but to the white; But as for me, upon me sowi, So liberal are we here, I'll let Sambo be murhered in place of [meself. On every day in the year." Miles was a fine fellow; but what a fate was his! And what a warning to all good fellows to be careful of whisky! Unfortunately it is the good fellows who are not so careful of whisky as they should be, and it carries many of them to their graves. If it was only the mean ones it carried off, we wouldn't mind it so much, but they are safe enough. Their meanness is a coat of mail to them. We wish to draw attention to a fact that is not generally known, and is of the straws showing how rapidly the virulent feeling has disappeared that existed between the two sections subsequent to the war of the rebellion. Our magistrates elect were both soldiers for the Confederacy. Judge Marshall belonged to the 2nd Virginia Confederate—he dont like the term "rebel," therefore we may confederate; although if we had been battling in the same cause we would have gloried in the name of rebel. He was elected from the intelligent, radical community of Orange. Judge Humphreys belonged to the 7th Missouri Rebel Infantry, (he don't object to the term) and was elected here by a majority of 25, while Carr, the radical candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, received a majority of six. While were are on this subject, we will call Northern new-comer's attention to one fact which may be of some value to them. We meet frequently Northern men seeking homes in our fertile region, who, as soon as they can conveniently assure us in a deprecating sort of way, that they are from a Northern State, but that their sympathies are and always were Southern. The fact we wish to draw their attention to is this: that there is nothing more despicable in the estimation of a Southern soldier, than a Northern man, who expressed sympathy for the South during the war, and obstructed, as far as they could, by their voices and votes, the prosecution of the war but were not men enough to take up arms for either side. We have met many Southern soldiers, and we have yet to meet the first one that expresses a different opinion than the above, and, in ORANGE HOME. Mr. Mosbaugh's new residence received a warming by the young folks. The light fantastic was tripped successfully. Mr. Purlong contemplates finishing this term of school if possible, and the people hope it may prove possible. The high Justice and Constable elect floorseth muchly. J.W. Anderson is in Prison, purchasing goods for the Orange store. The water-witch lost two and a half on a forty-five feet well, and feels badly.

Andrews & Parker contemplate opening a drug store in the Davis building soon. Mr. Riley's borrowed horse has been returned. Quite a pleasant party took place at the residence of Mr. Harper last week. On Friday afternoon the Orange school gave a performance, very creditable to both teachers and scholars. The house was full of visitors. Drs. Beach and Lotspiech, with their party, returned from the mountains with seven deer. Mr. Clark, of Chicago, is building a fine residence. The Orange Musical Union will meet on the evening of the 8th inst., to elect officers. F.J.Eames, while working on the bridge, dislocated his knee on Saturday. The family of J.

A shoemaker and tinsmith would find this a desirable location. A LOS PIES DE V. Nov. 1, 1875. How Measages are sent by the Ocean BY TELEGRAPH. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2. We were the other day misled by information that Mr. Brainerd had been appointed Pacific Mail agent here. Mr. Bacon, the present agent, stated last evening that he had received a telegram from the New York office to the effect that the Directors do not contemplate any change, and that Mr. Brainerd is unknown to them. Despatches from the following places dated Nov. 1st, say that rain fell on that day: Lathrop, Merced, Modesto, Hollister, Salinas, San Jose, Sacramento, Tres Pinos, Soledad, Livermore, Turlock, Pleasanton, Santa Clara. SALT LAKE, Nov. 2. Elder G. Reynolds, a prominent member of the Mormon Church was arrested for polygamy some time since, but discharged illegally by the jury. He was again indicted by the present Grand Jury for polygamy and arrested to-day. Baron Rothchild, of the family of the great bankors, and party, are here, en route to Australia. Brigham Young's health is unchanged. He is still under arrest, and says he will live and die in prison before he will pay the alimony. FT.YUMA, Nov. k. A severe shock of earthquake was felt here at 8:30 this morning, shaking buildings and windows. A low, rumbling sound was heard distinctly by many persons. The Colorado river is very low and still falling. A heavy gale and sand storm passed over here yesterday noon. The weather is clear, cool and pleasant to-day. LONDON, Nov. 1. The Times estimates that 200 sailors and others were drowned in the North Sea during the past three weeks. The fact we wish to draw their attention to is this: that there is nothing more despicable in the estimation of a Southern soldier, than a Northern man, who expressed sympathy for the South during the war, and obstructed, as far as they could, by their voices and votes, the prosecution of the war but were not men enough to take up arms for either side. We have met many Southern soldiers, and we have yet to meet the first one that expresses a different opinion than the above, and, in fact, they could not and be consistent, for they considered, in their attempt at secession, that the highest duty of a citizen was to stand by his State, whatever State he might be in. We do not pretend to say that this is true of all Northern new-comers, but of a large proportion of those that we have met. BION. Santa Ana, Oct. 2, 1875. Board of Supervisors. MONDAY, Nov. 1. The Board met pursuant to adjournment. Present—Hinds, Evey, Allen, Machado and Palomares—a full Board.

Hayward, from Evergreen, Iowa, have arrived and will locate in this vicinity. Crambo racketh, the brain of the average Orangeite. An artesian well will next be in order. A shoemaker and tinsmith would find this desirable location. A Los Pies de V. Nov. 1, 1875. How Messages are sent by the Ocean Cable. He (the ocean telegraph operator) taps the "key" as in a land telegraph, only it is a double key. It has two levers and knobs instead of one. The alphabet used is substantially like the Morse Alphabet; that is, the different letters are represented by a combination of dashes and dots. For instance, suppose you want to write the word "boy." It would read like this: "..." B is one dash and three dots; O, three dashes; and Y, one dash, one dot and three dashes. Now, in the land telegraph, the dashes and dots would appear on the strip of paper at the other end of the line, which is unwound by a cylinder and perforated by a pin at the end of the bar or armature. If the operator could read by sound, we would dispense with the strip of paper and read the message by the "click" of the armature as it is pulled down and let go by the electro-magnet. The cable operator, however, has neither of these advantages. There is no paper to perforate, no "click" of the armature, no armature to "click." The message is read by means of a moving flash of light upon a polished scale produced by the "deflection" of a very small mirror, which is placed within a "mirror galvanometer," which is a small brass cylinder two or three inches in diameter, shaped like a spool or bobbin, composed of several hundred turns of small wire wound with silk to keep the metal from coming in contact. It is wound or coiled exactly like a bundle of new rope, a small hole being left in the middle about the size of a common wooden pencil. In the centre of this is suspended a very thin delicate mirror about as large as a kernel of corn, with a correspondingly small magnet rigidly attached to the back of it. The whole weighs but a little more than a grain, and is suspended by a single fibre of silk, much smaller than a human hair and almost invisible. A narrow horizontal scale is placed within a darkened box two or three feet in front of the mirror, a narrow slit being cut in the centre of the scale to allow a ray of light to shine upon the mirror from a lamp placed behind said scale, the little mirror in turn reflecting the light back upon the scale. This spot of light upon the scale is the index by which all messages are read. The angle through which the ray moves is double that traversed by the mirror itself; and it is therefore, really equivalent to an index four or six feet in A severe shock of earthquake was felt here at 8:30 this morning, shaking buildings and windows. A low, rumbling sound was heard distinctly by many persons. The Colorado river is very low and still falling. A heavy gale and sand storm passed over here yesterday noon. The weather is clear, cool and pleasant to-day. LONDON, Nov. 1. The Times estimates that 200 sailors and others were drowned in the North Sea during the past three weeks. A special despatch from Mostar to the Times reports that the members of the Consular Commission for the settlement of the trouble in Herzegovina are unanimous in the opinion that the Poret is incapable of satisfying the country. Foreign intervention in some form is believed to be indispensable. RESULT OF ELECTIONS. Albany, N.

How They Do It. My success is owing to my liberality in advertising.—Robert Bonner. Advertising has earned me a competence.—Amos Lawrence. I advertised my product and made money.—N. Langworth. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth.—Stephen Girard. He who invests one dollar in business should invest one dollar in advertising that business.—A. T. Stewart. The man who pays more for shop rent than for advertising don't understand his business.—Horace Greeley. A telegram from Madera states that a part of the crew of the American ship John Pascal, Capt. Toplay, which sailed from Calcutta July 18th, for New York, had landed at Aguason. They report that the ship took fire at sea and was totally destroyed, and that the crew were saved by taking to the boats. Eight of the crew are on board the steamer African, and the Madela authorizes telegraphed to arrest them on their arrival in England, their testimony being unsatisfactory. The election returns come in with unexampled slowness. Estimates of every county, based on such returns as are now in, indicate a majority for Ludington for Governor of 7,000, which may be reduced to 5,000. The Legislature will have a working majority of Republicans. New York, Nov. 4.—The total vote of this city is 130,560. Of this Biglow has a majority of 29,723. The Republicans concede the election of the Democratic State ticket, but claim that the majority is not over three thousand. Jackson, Miss., November 4th.—Democrats elect their State ticket and all the Congressmen, except Scale, who is still in doubt. The Democrats have a majority in each branch of the Legislature. New York, Nov. 4th.—A special to the World from Albany says that all our returns up to this hour give us the Assembly. We claim Bigelow's election by from 12,000 to 15,000 majority. The Tribune says that later returns will make no material changes in the results in the various States. The entire Democratic State ticket of New York is elected by an estimated majority of seven thousand. The Herald gives the Democrats 9,203 majority. The Times gives 2,846. Washington, Nov. 4th.—The results of Tuesday's elections are regarded here as advantageous in the highest degree to the prospects of the Republican party next year, rendering the election of a Republican to succeed Gen.Grant as reasonably certain. A Congressman from Ohio, now here, expresses satisfaction with Tilden's taking off. It is thought also that the verdict of Tuesday will exercise a wholesome influence upon the Democratic majority in the House, and will induce that body to practice the utmost caution in the exercise of its power. The friends of Secretary Robeson claim a Republican majority in New Jersey, and that the Legislature will make Robeson United States Senator. St. Paul, Nov. 4.—Returns come in slowly, but enough is received to make the election of Hillabury, Republican, for Governor, certain, by at least 5,000 majority. The Democrats have perhaps elected the State Treasurer. This is owing to personal considerations. The Legislature will be largely Republican. Philadelphia, Nov. 4th.—The majority in the city for Hartranft is 17-300, and in the State about 18,000. Mr. Mackey, State Treasurer, expects it will increase to 20,000 in Philadelphia thus making the Republican majority in the State 20,000. Boston, Nov. 4.—The latest returns from every county and township except a few make no change in the result. Rice, Republican, is elected by 2,000 majority, and the entire ticket is elected by still higher figures. The Legislature will stand about as follows: Senate, 32 Republicans; 8 Democrats; House, 175 Republicans; 105 Democrats. New York.—Nov. 4.—The Republican majority in the Assembly is 25.

A special from Madison, Wis., says: The returns this morning have changed the complexion of politics in this State, and creates considerable excitement here. The Democrats now claim the election of the whole ticket, Taylor's majority being small. They make their claim on the basis of the returns received of 1,180 on the Congressional vote last Fall, when the Democrats had 475 majority in the State. They also claim the Assemblymen, which will be close. The Republicans claim Ludington's election by 3,000 majority, but concede the election of Kuhn and a close vote on the rest of the State officers. St. Paul, Nov. 4th.—The entire Republican State ticket is elected by a majority ranging from 5,000 to over 10,000. The Legislature is largely Republican. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS. On the 2nd. of last July the safe of the National Savings Bank in Winthrop, Maine, was robbed by burglaries of $90,000, mostly in Government, railroad and municipal bonds. The bank officers effected a restitution of $50,000 in bonds, for which they paid the reward advertised, $10,000. The Leeds Mercury says: The large iron producers, J. Blockow, Naughan & Co. employing in their collieries, mines and works nearly ten thousand men, have notified their employees at the Middleborough, Wilton Park and Eston works in Warwickshire, that owing to the depression of trade, their engagements must terminate on the 20th of November. Large quantities of provisions are going to Cuba. The City of Verna Cruz took out a load, and yesterday two extra steamers left for the same point. In consequence of the recent arrival in Havana of 15,000 troops, it is supposed that these provisions are intended for them. The cereals taken out include rice and wheat in vast quantities, and when the 7,000 more Spanish troops land it is supposed that the export of breadstuff will be doubled. All the steamers which have recently sailed for Havana have been packed up as far as safety would admit. The amount billed to leave within the next two weeks is greater than the capacity county in the state of California, and to me directed and delivered on the 26th day of August, A.D. 1875, to satisfy a judgment tendered in said Justice's court on the 5th day of July, A.D. 1876, in favor of N.H.

The Michigan Central and Fort Wayne Railroad Companies have agreed to pool their earnings on the basis of the traffic of 1873 and 1874, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company had combined with such of the three roads named as were necessary to form, in conjunction with the Union Pacific, a through line from New York to the Pacific. A Washington special says that Lieutenant Fred Collins, of the United States Navy, commander of the expedition that made the survey of the Altrato Napipi Alyatrato Napipi route across the Isthmus of Darien last winter, has just finished a preliminary report to the Secretary of the Navy. A survey was made by this expedition from the Atratto river to the Pacific Ocean, following the exact line found best suited for a canal. For about fifty miles back from the Atratto the country was found to be very swampy. There was great difficulty in carrying on the survey over that section. After crossing the swamp country it was found to be very broken and hilly; but by keeping the hills near Napipi the bad hills were avoided, by following the valley of Dognado. Very deep cutting was necessary. The height of the divide was found to be 772 feet, and the tunnel required for passing under three and a half miles long. The summit level of the canal as proposed is 143 feet above the plane of mean tide. Twenty-two locks will be necessary for the ascent and descent, and the distance of the canal survey is 28 miles in a direct line. Just the necessary curves make it 30 miles. The officer, in giving full details of the cost of the entire canal, puts the incidental estimates at $80,000,000, to which he adds $20,000,000 for contingencies, making a round total of $100,000,000.
