ANAHEIM VOL. VI. Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY ... DEC. 25, 1875. THE PRESIDENT ON EDUCATING THE MASSER. The arguments, so ternely put, by which the President enforces the necessity of this work, hardly need any amplification. Every thinking citizen feels that the President's position is correct, and when he goes further than mere talk about the matter, and proposes a definite time, beyond which no man unable to read or write shall be permitted to take part in our national affairs, every lover of his country, who fully appreciates her necessities as well as her dangers, will respond, "Yes, that is what we want." Our nation is far too valuable to be roughly handled by the harsh hands of ignorance. Nor can we afford to permit demagogues and schemers to have under their control a balance of power, which, because of its ignorance and submission, they can use as they will. Our people should all be so educated that the will of the nation, as expressed at the ballot-box, shall be a judgment of patriotic and sound wisdom. Let us have in 1890 an education. THE CHIEF BOARD OF EUROPEAN POLITICS. England controls the Sussex Canal. She has long held Gibraltar; she now has a well guarded and well controlled passage by the shortest route to India. Egypt is gradually but certainly throwing off the grasp of Turkish power. The present Khedive of Egypt, Ismail Pasha, is one of the strongest of the Eastern rulers. His administrative powers are of a high order, and his ideas are intelligent and modern. His notions of Government and national development were obtained from France and England. In the former country he was educated. He proposes to use, for the benefit of his country, every advantage suggested by Western civilization. The whole region watered by the Nile is vigorously developed. He is extending the railroad system of Egypt as rapidly as possible. A grand trunk road is now being constructed up the Nile valley. He has secured a full navy. His army is equal if not superior to that of the Sultan of Turkey. He seems to be anxious to develop the material rather than the moral or educational resources of the country. Slavery has not yet been done away with, Russia. Austria and Germany are still like the first Santa Monica following. We are looking not far in the future will be declared a custom house once A trotting park is a fixed institution The track is to be San Vicente springs. Last Saturday a scene that amazed commercial. Or City of Panama charging the past other freight for Independence Rail site side was the large number freight for this port and near by was ing a cargo of lumber was steaming through survey of scene was further presence of an wandered about wagon upon their say, "What town, a mallroads ships with cargoes Ing points, all mini trial picture, at a months ago there pasture and a nakethe monsters of it with not a single least or make them." Our nation is far too valuable to be roughly handled by the harsh hands of ignorance. Nor can we afford to permit demagogues and schemers to have under their control a balance of power, which, because of its ignorance and submission, they can use as they will. Our people should all be so educated that the will of the nation, as expressed at the ballot-box, shall be a judgment of patriotic and sound wisdom. Let us have in 1890 an educational qualification for citizenship. The President's views as to the kind of schools the Commonwealth ought to sustain cannot fall to meet the approval of every unbiased and fair-thinking man. In regard to the very important question of what relation the schools shall have to religious instruction, the President makes a distinction which in all the discussions of this subject has not yet been clearly made. The opinion of many has been, and now is, that, if the reading of the Bible and the offering of prayer be emitted in our public schools, then we are at once open to infidelity and irreligion. But let it be remembered that no instruction is possible, in regard to lessons from experience or in regard to the relations existing between man and man, between neighbor and neighbor, between citizen and citizen, and the factor of religion be left out. And while our schools should be kept free from sectarian control, and while religious tenets, held by some and denied by others may have no place in the curriculum, it cannot be but the practical part of true religion, which, after all, is older than all human sects or orders, which is as old as God, should be admitted. This is that part of religion which makes boys and girls kind, and patient and honest and faithful; that, in short, makes upright citizens of the children, by introducing to their minds those great controlling ideas which have been the precursors and the producers of good, and warning against ideas on theories, which in all the historic past have been the cause of injury and disaster. Now this grand end is to be secured simply by keeping out of our schools "irreligious, atheistic or pagan text books." Every text book is colored by the religious views of its author. Every teacher cannot fail, if he be good for anything, to impress something of his moral and religious self upon his scholars. Let us apply to our textbooks the same law we apply to our teachers. Let both be free from developed. He is extending the railroad system of Egypt as rapidly as possible. A grand trunk road is now being constructed up the Nile valley. He has secured a full navy. His army is equal if not superior to that of the Sultan of Turkey. He seems to be anxious to develop the material rather than the moral or educational resources of the country. Slavery has not yet been done away with, Russia. Austria and Germany are still like the first named country in the conundrum: Why is Russia like a fox? Because after she got Hung(a)ery she wanted Turkey. They all want Turkey, and which will have the breast, which the second joint, and which the neck, is yet to be seen; but in the Christmas dinner, when the carving is done, Egypt is bound to be absent. So, in order to enable her to become entirely free in the final and speedy dismemberment of the Turkish Empire, an event which is only a matter of time, she has secured the friendship and necessary protection of England. What the effect of this move will be is yet to be seen. Kings may play, and the people may pay, but the time is coming when the wheel will be turned, and the Kings will lose their toys, and free men, free nations shall develop the arts of peace, instead of spending lives and treasure to change the appearance of the maps each decade. JESUITS IN CHINA. A Boston paper makes known the following strange, but characteristic foresight of the Jesuits: When, two hundred years ago, the Jesuits were turned out of China for attempting to manipulate the Government in Catholic interests, their estates were confiscated. In the late treaty with France, one stipulation was made that confiscated property should be retsored. This was agreed to, for the Chinese authorities did not suppose that after 200 years any very correct description of real estate could exist; but, to their surprise, the Jesuits came forward with old, yellow, time-worn papers, being the title deeds of all the property formerly owned by the Jesuits, and in these deeds the location was accurately described. The Fathers are now building a cathedral in Canton, costing $3,000,000. The Chinese take very naturally to the new service. There is much in it like Budhlam, and the quality is far better. So the Chinese worshipper feels at home, and vastly more highlanded. The Downey Office following: Mr. Miller, who Nietos informs us season from one hundred and six burgling previously takes three tons of hay. Mr. Perkins is no farmers on the town; will require about two pounds of crayfish factory after it side of the large area cultivated by those interested in working favorably for tablishment of industry in our inhood. It remains to keep the factory just where it crop is a paying room to doubt. Mers have already tended to plant a tobacco, and there many more will follow so that the factory will for want of materials. Mr. Haraszthy, lenced champagne has contrived a new articles on grape grapes subjects to the new formula says that you duces eight million home consumes amount to more than half of gallons. Known that our wine pure for which recently imitated title abroad, or so entirely lose their flavor. For these reasons demand for the art limited than it should interest already for various features, and so steadily that it has object on the part of the real article public, in which no fear in the beat imported by which in all the historic past have been the cause of injury and disaster. Now this grand end is to be secured simply by keeping out of our schools "irreligious, atheistic or pagan text books." Every text book is colored by the religious views of its author. Every teacher cannot fall, if he be good for anything, to impress something of his moral and religious self upon his scholars. Let us apply to our text books the same law we apply to our teachers. Let both be free from "irreligion, atheism and paganism," and we shall find, if parents and religious men are faithful, that we shall, as years go on, raise up a class of citizens capable in every way of taking care of the inestimable treasure we give them, in placing in their hands the keeping of our grand and glorious Republic. "If I had leisure I would repair the weak place in my fence," said a farmer. He had none, however, and while drinking elder with a neighbor the cows broke in and injured a prime place of corn. "If I had leisure," said a wheelwright, last winter, "I would alter my stove-pipe, for I know it is not safe." But he did not find time, and when his shop caught fire and burned down he found time to build another. "If I had time," said a merchant, "I should have my work done in summer." The man thinks his time has been all occupied, but he was not at work till after sunrise; he quit work at five o'clock, smoked a cigar after dinner, and spent two hours on the street talking nonsense with an idler. "If I had leisure," said a merchant, "I would pay more attention to my accounts, and would try and collect my bills more promptly." The chance is my friend, if you had more leisure you would probably pay less attention to the matter. "William," observed a Danbury woman to her husband, "Mrs. Holcomb feels pretty badly since the loss of her child, and I wish you would drop over there and see her. You might say that all flesh is grass—that we're all got to go the same way; and so if she is going to use her dragging pan this afternoon." Let oatmeal be a portion of your daily food, and you will suffer little from dyspepsia. For many years oatmeal has been extensively by the Scotch and Irish. Laborers drink it freely with water in the summer. But of late years the use of this food has greatly increased among fisheries reasonably wealthy, and many a breakfast table of this class of people would be incomplete without a steaming mess of this humble but wholesome article. The advantages of oatmeal as an article of food are getting to be tolerably well understood, and all persons who have commenced its regular use will agree that its nutritional and health-giving properties have not been overrated. Chemical analysis shows that oatmeal is richer than wheat in starch and the nitrogenous compounds, the first being fat-forming, and the latter being-forming constituents. As compared with barley and corn, oatmeal is found to be still richer in these elements. For children's food it is invaluable. The workingmen of Salinas City have organized an association for the protection of white labor against Chinese unrestriptions. It is stated that the town is full of white men suffering from lack of employment, while hundreds of Chinese unrestriptions no embarrassment in their respect. Brushing the hair more the better, let those who crave a life some growth.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, DEC. 25. 1875. Santa Monica Home. The Santa Monica Outlook has the following: We are looking forward to the time, not far in the future, when this place will be declared a port of entry, and a custom house erected. A trotting park at Santa Monica will be a fixed institution before a great while. The track into be in the vicinity of the San Vicente springs. Last Saturday the wharf presented a scene that attacked decidedly of the commercial. On one side was the City of Panama, from Panama, discharging the passenger coaches and other freight for the Los Angeles & Independence Railroad; on the opposite side was the steamer Senator with a large number of passengers and freight for this point and Los Angeles; and near by was the Eureka unloading a cargo of lumber, while the Haasler was steaming about making a thorough survey of the bay. And the scene was further enlivened by the presence of an excursion party who wandered about with a curious expression upon their faces, as if to say, "What next? Here's a town, a railroad, a wharf and ships with cargoes from widely differing points, all mingled into one industrial picture, at a place where a few months ago there was only a sheep-pasture and a naked beach upon which the monsters of the deep might sport, with not a single human being to moest or make them afraid." Downey City Home. The Second Law of Postal Card. While on this topic we may ask whether postal cards have now been long enough in use to admit of an inquiry as to the nature of the courtesies and social laws that do or should pertain to them? It may be asked whether people are under any obligations to respond to an open letter of the nature of a postal card? Could one acknowledge a postal card as an "estimated favor"? If the postal card be purely on the business of the writer what notice must the recipient take of the fact that no stamp is inclosed for postage on the reply? One some really Napoleonic strokes of meanness as the outcome of the postal card system. The anality is sometimes superb. A writer saves a sheet of paper, an envelope, a stamp for postage, and also the usual stamp for return postage—all by one dexterous postal card. The spirit of economy could no farther go. But really, what rights in courtesy have letter writers who do not consider their correspondents of importance enough to give their spills to them the poor compliment of an inolosure? How is a communication to be entertained when the writer confesses by the postal card that it isn't worth a sheet of paper and a postage stamp? That the postal card is very useful for circular notes, for announcements, for communicating any simple fact that does not call for a response, no one can deny. But we submit that social custom ought to establish that a missive of this kind calling for a response, excepting on business matters concerning the reci- MISCELLANY. Phillip Klingen Smith, Who gave important evidence in the funeral trial of the Mountain Mendow butcher Lee, has been murdered by the Marmone, at his ranch, on the Colorado, as was to have been expected. At Round Valley, Mendocino county, on the 6th instant, Rev. Mr. Kellogg, the pastor of the reservation, and Dr. E. B. Bateman engaged in a spirited combat at fistleuff. The former was arrested and final $5 for starting the fire. In Maine, Sunday curring is faxed two dollars per oath; on week days the rate is lowered to only one dollar per oath. The law is rigid, and the proceeds, when collected, one to go toward foundl. g a lunatio asylum. A bolt of lightning struck a tree in front of a Chicago alderman's house the other night, and in his fright the alderman cried, "Hold on! I'll restore the money?" The Minnesota women look as smiling as a boy with a jumping jack. They can vote on all the school questions and everything pertaining to the management of schools. Professor Anybody and Trustee Somebody and Officer Everybody dare not pass an opinion on the Fall styles for fear of wounding the feelings of his fair constituency. A fire arising from the refuse coal cast away at the shutes near the wharf, at Sehome, has not been extinguished during the last fifteen years or more. On dark nights it burns brightly and consumes as many calories as possible. Downey City Items. The Downey Courier furnishes the following: Mr. Miller, who resides at old Los Nietos, informs us that he raised this season from one acre of ground one hundred and six bushels of corn, having previously taken off the same land three tons of hay. Mr. Perkins is now interviewing our farmers on the tobacco question. It will require about one hundred thousand pounds of crude tobacco to run the factory after its establishment, outside the large amount which will be cultivated by Mr. Perkins and those interested with him. A large area of ground at Costa has already been seeded to tobacco by Mr. McGregor. Parties in Virginia have been written to forward an established scale of prices. The machinery necessary for the factory will probably be purchased in New York, a letter having been dispatched there to ascertain the cost of the same. Everything is working favorably for the steady establishment of this new branch of industry in our immediate neighborhood. It remains for the farmers of the valley to do their part, by furnishing the crude tobacco necessary to keep the factory in operation. That the crop is paying one there is no room to doubt. Several of our farmers have already signified their intention to plant a few acres each in tobacco, and there is no doubt but that many more will follow the example, so that the factory will not languish for want of material. Mr. Haraszthy, himself an experienced champagne wine maker, who has contributed a number of valuable articles on grape growing and kindred subjects to the miscellany of California, says, that while the State produces eight million gallons of wine, the home consumption does not amount to more than one million and a half of gallons. In first hands, it is known that our wines are absolutely pure, for which reason they are extensively imitated by a fraudulent article abroad, or so adulterated as to entirely lose their original virtue and flavor. For these reasons the foreign demand for the article is much more limited than it should be. The wine interest already forms such a conspicuous feature, and continues to grow so steadily, that it has become a great object on the part of producers to have the real article placed before the public, in which case it will have nothing to fear in competition with the best imported brand—Cull. New York, Dec. 19. The chain of circumstantial evidence pointing to Pesach Rubenstein as the murderer of the Jewess in a corn field in East New York, is regarded by the police as complete. Some singular developments have just come to light in regard to Rubenstein's religious notions. It appears that several weeks ago Rubenstein entered into a contract with a poverty-stricken fellow-Israelite, whereby the latter, for the sum of $45, agreed to assume all the sins committed by Rubenstein since the last day of atonement, last Fall, and to bear punishment for them in the next world. The contract was formally drawn up in Hebrew, signed and witnessed. This novel kind of agreement is often made among Polish Jews. When the party who assumed the sinai reached his home and told his wife, she made such strenuous objections that the husband sought Rubenstein again, and tendering back the money, proposed to rescind the contract. Rubenstein refused to accept the money or to return the instruments. Suit was then brought against him in the Beth Hammidrash Arib Binal, a Tribunal supported by illiterate Polish Jews. The case was tried by Chief Rabbi Abraham Josephash and two assistants. The suit was decided against Rubenstein and in favor of the complainant, on the ground that there are some sins for which not only the transgressor, or the person assuming them, suffers, but also his wife and children, and although it was not probable that Rubenstein would be guilty of such sins, yet the wife, being an interested party, was entitled to prohibit the contract, if she had not been a party to the consideration; second, and there is a Talmudic law prohibiting the Jews from overcharging a fellow Jew more than ten times not consider their correspondents of importance enough to give their splits to them the poor compliment of an insclosure? How is a communication to be entertained when the writer confesses by the postal card that it isn't worth a sheet of paper and a postage stamp? That the postal card is very useful for circular notes, for announcements, for communicating any simple fact that does not call for a response, no one can deny. But we submit that social custom ought to establish that a missive of this kind calling for a response, excepting on business matters concerning the recipient, is an impertinence; and that a postal card, partaking of the nature of correspondence as ordinarily understood, is entitled to no respect or consideration whatsoever. — Appleton's Journal. A lily fixed the following letters in the bottom of her flour barrel, and asked her husband to read them, O I C U R M T. You inquire, "How can I prevent my little boy from wearing out the knees of his pants?" That problem has been in the market ever since Eve asked Adam the same thing about young Caln. We only know three sure ways: You can kill the boy, or you can make his pants without knees, but perhaps the best way would be to get some other little boy about the same size to wear the knees out, if you have such objections to your own boy's doing it. Relative to the report that Macdonry & Co. intend, on the expulsion of the charters of the steamships Vancouver and Vasco de Gama, to run them as an opposition line to China from this State, it is stated that no definite arrangements have yet been made to that effect. They are however awaiting advice from the owners in London, but they admit that such disposition of the ships is in contemplation. Can a civil engineer inform us how it is that the mouths of rivers are larger than their heads? A smart-looking boy, about twelve years old, called into a Detroit book store, the other day and said his mother wanted some cards. The clerk supposed he meant playing cards, and accordingly wrapped up a pack. The boy came back in the course of half an hour, flung down the cards and said: "Mother don't want that kind—she's got five or six packs in the house now. She wants some with marked backs, so she can deal lone hands and warp it to dad!" The Brewery Company of Boca Station have received from San Francisco a copper kettle weighing two and a half tons. This is one of the largest vessels of the kind ever made on the Pacific Coast. The well known cattle-dealer, Phillips & Chandler, have failed, with liabilities amounting to a quarter of a million dollars. Nearly all the stock raiders from Sacramento north are said to be sufferers by the failure. Hefflin, the murderer of Stevens, at Santa Ross, who was released on $10,-000 Brushing the hair every day, the more the better, is recommended to those who crave a luxuriant and handsome growth. If it is very oily, wash it occasionally with a lotion made by mixing one drachm of soda with a pint of water and adding the well-beaten yolks of two eggs. A teaspoonful of ammonia in a quart of rain water makes a good lotion for the hair; wash it in this frequently, dry it well, and brush it a long time; if the ammonia is too strong it will bleach the hair and injure it. The use of a lead comb will darken flaxen and red hair, and so, it is said on good authority, will water in which potatoes have been boiled. Hair oils and pomade are an abomination, and are, as they should ever be, entirely out of fashion. Last week two hunters, within 24 hours, shot and delivered at Webb's Landing, on the Sacramento, 600 malard docks. The proceeds of the day's work was in the neighborhood of $200. The gallant Senator Roach is trying to get a bill through making a man who thrushes his wife liable to a flogging of twenty-one lashes. The project does not meet any support among the Senators. A man who spends the long hour of the day and night in making laws for his country, does not prepare to be deprived of his sole relaxation. Mrs. Roberta hotel keeper at Sulun, interviewed a spiritual medium regarding the identity of the thief who robbed her of $300 a few days since Bennil, a search warrant directed in the premise of a reputable magistrate, followed in execution by an assailant on the midium, arrests of the memant for assault and battery, and in accomplishing the departure of the medium in old houses to an urgent law enforcement numerously signed. Celia Logan writes from New York to the Hartford Courant: "There is a lady in this city who was once engaged to be married to J. Wilken Booth, but broke off the match, and requested the return of her letters, which he refused. Her story goes that she never heard directly anything from him again until two years after his reported death, when a man called at her house at dusk. She opened the door herself. He handed her a sealed package and disappeared. On opening it she discovered her own old love letters to Booth, and a line unmistakably in his hand. It was: 'I return your letters.' Inside the letter was a place of Culain newspaper. She is a firm dissident in his death." There is a sweet palate plantation of The nurse at Alliance. One is ordered to yield $600 bushels of the favorite edible fruit. It is owned by malt-warehouse. The Brewery Company of Boon Station have received from San Francisco a copper kettle weighing two and a half tons. This is one of the largest vessels of the kind ever made on the Pacific Coast. The well known cattle-dealers, Phillips & Chandler, have failed with liabilities amounting to a quarter of a million dollars. Nearly all the stock raisers from Sacramento north are said to be sufferers by the failure. Hefflin, the murderer of Stevans, at Santa Rosa, who was released on $10,-000 bail, was re-arrested on Saturday, and is now confined in jail, which is more satisfactory to the people of that town. A workman of Santa Barbara on Saturday excavated the foundation from an adobe well with a crowbar. His co-laborers subsequently found his remains, all in one spot, and likewise recovered the crowbar. The resignation of Surveyor-General Stratton has been placed in Senator Sargent's hands, to take effect January 11th. Sargent will recommend as his successor H. G. Rollins, who has served as Register of the San Francisco Land office during the past six years. Levi Day, at East Wavenet, recently came upon a large buck in a death struggle with a panther. On his approach the latter animal dropped the deer, fled and made his escape. The head was in a literal state of jelly from the fierce exertions of the panther. The deer dressed 140 pounds. There were two Chinese stores at Howland Flat, Sierra County, a few days since, but one of the merchants placed a ten-pound cartridge under the establishment of his rival, and now enjoys a monopoly of the trade. The down or more Chinesemen in the store at the time of the explosion came down again with the debris, and none were killed outright. The mother of Chaver reads in Hollister, and when informed of the death of her son at the hands of the Haggie brothers, said she had no doubt it was true, as the Haggie boys were brought up in San Juan with Chaver and knew him well, and that there had been an enemy between them from beyond. The old lady wagged over the death of her attendant son, but said she would rather be should die in this way than be dragged over the Shaft and then be dragged as Vanguard was. GAZETTE BY TELEGRAPH.

The bodies of the two murdered men were in such a state of despair that no one identified by their clothing and apparel. CARRING, Dec. 18. About 6 o'clock this morning, on K.J. McMahan, the grave-digger at Farm Wright's cemetery, was going to dig a grave, he was horrified to see the body of a man hanging from the cross-bar forming the archway to the entrance of the cemetery. The body proved to be that of Tom Bart, supposed to have kept the ringleader in the immigrant slums here for some three years. On his breast was found a paper with the figures 901. On Bart's testimony, at a recent trial for arson, Young Dahlly was sentenced to five years in the State Prison. Bart turned Stetsa's evidence. The body was taken down by Coroner Meher and brought to Wright's undertaking establishment. At ten o'clock a jury was summoned at the place of hanging. The testimony is to be taken at 1 o'clock.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16. The Evening Post's special from Washington to-day says: The announcement that the National Republican Committee will meet here next month to decide where the National Convention will be held, has had a visible effect on the supporters of some would-be Presidential candidates, especially those of Senator Morton and ex-Speaker Blaine.
