VOL. VI. LIGHTNESS OF HEART. All men should cultivate a disposition of cheerfulness and lightness of heart in the pursuit of their various avocations, and should school themselves to look upon the sunny side of every question, encountering all things with quiet equanimity. The daily wear and tear of the mental and physical systems is infinitely more serious in him who works with discontent than it is with the man who rises above petty vexations and trivial annoyances, so as to treat all with composure. The mind has more to do with this thing we call bodily fatigue than is usually supposed. Take the school-boy "creeping like snail, unwilling, to school," and subject him to any considerable exertion in which he does not willingly interest himself, and he will soon be broken down with real and genuine exhaustion, while on the other hand, if you will put into his hands a gun and start him hunting, he will range the woods and climb the hills, and strain every muscle, all day, without feeling weared at all. The horse or dog trained in fox hunting will race over every kind of ground with unflagging energies, when the same efforts without the stimulant of their spirits being CALIFORNIA LANDS AND PEOPLE. It is estimated that of the lands of this state, 60,000,000 acres are fitted for the purposes of grazing and agriculture—23,000,000 consist of mountains, clothed very extensively with heavy timber—10,000,000, of plains and deserts altogether unproductive at present—3,000,000, of swamp and overflowed land; and the balance of 4,000,000 acres is covered with lakes, rivers and other permanent water. What an imposing panorama of natural advantages does this summary afford! When we consider the actual population and the improvements made by the hand of man, in the state, and compare them with what might be and will be, the present pales before the brilliant future. The capability of development in every way, and the immense area of territory which will be some day the home of prospering millions, proves that California is in the babyhood of its destiny—but that infancy is the infancy of Hercules, who strangled monsters while still in his cradle. California is like a magnificent banquet table covered with every luxury, at which there are sitting a few hundred bloated dyspeptics, who have eaten so ravenously Santa Ana Regular Correspondence. Mr. C. E. French will be a transient of Anaheim, until it is to Santa Ana. Mr. Evans showed us the place which he drafted, rival the palatial ranch Layman, Palmer. At the same time, draft or plan of the house, which has been Board of Trustees, of architecture, and use, as well as an town. The building feet in size, two story containing room 25x32 feet in tower from base to feet in height. Our too much praised intention in selecting over all other com-munities hoped that they wouldunate in their selves. Mr. Silver, your fore-the-bar, was in waiting for a Chinatown to put in an appearance to know the re-ceived for reply enough officers in he does not willingly interest himself, and he will soon be broken down with real and genuine exhaustion, while on the other hand, if you will put into his hands a gun and start him hunting, he will range the woods and climb the hills, and strain every muscle, all day, without feeling weared at all. The horse or dog trained in fox hunting will race over every kind of ground with unflagging energies, when the same efforts without the stimulant of their spirits being enlisted, would break them down in half the time. A grain of sand or other slight impediment may cause a mighty engine to damage itself and do inferior work, and the same is true with regard to the marvellously intricate machinery which constitutes the human organism. Let every man tread the unevitable path with a will, and if he has been in the habit of viewing it with discontent, he will find that dissatisfied spectacles are great magnifying glasses; that however "stale, weary and unprofitable" the world is, it is probably the best the majority of us will ever get, and so we should make the most of it. Yesterday we dropped into water a piece of the white heart-shaped candy, such as generally has some love-motto upon it, in order to practically test how much of it was sugar. When six or eight hours afterward, we looked at it again, we found that a large portion of the piece had not dissolved or quit its former heart-shape, but was still at the bottom of the glass like so much mud. Now it is certain that all the sugar which had entered into the ingredients of that candy was held invisibly in solution by the water; and the conclusion was forced upon us, that what remained at the bottom was foreign matter which had no business in the candy or in the human stomach. We were prompted to this experiment by the recollection of having once read that large quantities of white earth or, as it is called, alba terra, are annually imported from Ireland and elsewhere for the manufacture of some kinds of candy, and that there are "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" in its making, of which the thoughtless consumer does not dream. We called upon Mr. Rimpau, who was treasurer of the former City Government, and asked him to furnish us the amount of payments shown in his books to have been made by the city. We were kindly given the following pales before the brilliant future. The capability of development in every way, and the immense area of territory which will be some day the home of prospering millions, proves that California is in the babyhood of its destiny—but that infancy is the infancy of Hercules, who strangled monsters while still in his cradle. California is like a magnificent banquet table covered with every luxury, at which there are sitting a few hundred bloated dyspeptics, who have eaten so ravenously of the central dish (land) as to have spoiled their digestions without cloying their appetites, and they still tug at the dish to pull it nearer to them, and keep off the rank and file. At other parts of the table there are other choice dainties, some of which have near them men who attempt to discourage those manifesting a disposition to approach, and in many other cases some of the richest viands have not been noticed, but nearly always it is found that those who perseveringly and skillfully endeavor to get their share, receive it. Many, however, stand away with their backs against the wall and swear at everything Californian, and say, "We came here thinking that this was a free-lunch table, where all we had to do was to eat, drink and be merry, and now we find that we have not only to encounter some difficulty in getting at the good things, but we have to carve it ourselves, and d——such a country to h——anyhow."

We have good reason to believe that there is much more good government land open to settlement for homesteads and pre-emption, than the people in charge of the land office in Los Angeles will disclose. We have good reason to believe, and do firmly believe, that they observe a systematic policy of reticence about giving information, when applied to for it by men wishing to become bona fide settlers; and that they do this for the purpose of extorting pay for information, to furnish which is their official and paid duty. We believe that they can be bought by the highest bidder as easily as one may purchase a horse at auction.

have been made by the city. We were kindly given the following data. His official records embrace from Sept., 1870 to July, 1872. During that time, the expenditures recorded on his books reach the sum of $2,527.99. He has on hand, in his official capacity, $30,79 belonging to the city. The city warrants unpaid, amount to $360. The property of the city corporation consists of the jail and lot, the chairs, table, desk, etc., and an interest in the utensils of the Hook and Ladder Company. This statement is made that the people may judge for themselves as to what the former incorporation cost, and to correct the impression that it amounts to even much more than it appears to have really done; and, in that regard, it is but a mere matter of justice to the gentle men officially connected with the former incorporation that we should give the facts shown by the books. WE saw yesterday half a dozen boys badgering a Chinaman, who was passing down Los Angeles street; and were the more impressed with the hoodlumism of their actions, by the good humor with which John bore their klecks and rudeness. If the men would only exert themselves in the all-important matter of the repelling of the Chinese wave of immigration with as much zeal of hostility as that which animates the gamins of the streets, one very serious political peril would soon cease to annoy reflective people. A Benieia man, the other night, dreamed that he was the chief of the Modocs, and getting up in his sleep he procured a large cheese knife, gave an ear-piercing whoop and removed his wife's hair with as much neatness and dispatch as if he had been a persecuted red man from his birth. It was a fortunate thing for his wife that her hair was hanging on the back of a chair and not on her head.

Regular Correspondence of the Gazette. Mr. C. E. French informs us that he will be a transient guest of Dr. Ellis, of Anaheim, until his residence is finished, which is to be erected near Santa Ana. Mr. Evans, the contractor, showed us the plan of the house, which he drafted, and it bids fair to rival the palatial residences of Messrs. Layman, Palmer, Fruit and Andrews. At the same time, he showed us the draft or plan of the new $5,000 school house, which has been adopted by the Board of Trustees. It will be a model of architecture, and will prove of great use, as well as an ornament to our town. The building will be 43x51 feet in size, two stories in height, each story containing two rooms, each room 25x32 feet in the clear. The tower from base to summit will be 70 feet in height. Our trustees cannot be too much praised for their discrimination in selecting Mr. Evans' model over all other competitors; it is to be hoped that they will be equally as fortunate in their selection of a builder. Mr. Silver, your eloquent pleader before the bar, was in town on Saturday, waiting for a Chinaman, who failing to put in an appearance, be telegraphed to know the reason why, and received for reply that there were not enough officers in Anaheim to bring them. Las Bolsas Grant. The Washington correspondent of the San Francisco Post, writing under date of February 28th, has the following in reference to the Las Bolsas grant: It is shown by records in the land office that in 1784 Governor Pedro Fajes made concession of lands contained within certain metes and bounds. May 22, 1834, Governor Jose Figueroa confirmed the application and issued the grant. As is the case with all these Mexican grants, neither the original claimant nor even his grantees have any interest in the case now. The son and son-in-law each presented the claim before the Land Commission, and the courts finally decreed to them and their assigns one-half each. That portion represented by Yorba was filed before the Land Commissioner October 20, 1852, confirmed by them September 26, 1854. By the United States District Court February 17, 1857. Appeal was dismissed March 4, 1858. Survey was made of the whole grant, and this undivided half was patented June 19, 1874. The other half of the undivided controversy was filed before the Land Commission November 6, 1852, rejected by them February 13, 1855, but Judge Ogier confirmed it February 17, 1857. In the survey 38,-460+100 acres are taken. The original papers call for the channel of the Santa Ana river as its eastern boundary, but the Santa Ana river as it runs now, and not as it ran forty-two years ago. In that space between where the Santa Ana river ran in BY TELEGRAPH. SAN FRANCISCO, March 11. A petition signed by the Mayor, Eugene L. Sullivan, Horace L. Davis, A. S. Hallidie, and other prominent citizens, has been presented to James Lick, asking him to allow the laying of the corner stone of the monument to Francis Scott Key, author of "The Star Spangled Banner," on the Fourth of July next, at Golden Gate Park. Judge Dwindle to-day refused to grant a divorce to Geo. H. Mixon against his wife, Sarah. The plaintiff says that his wife is eternally twaddling, and was irritating the life out of him. The Judge ruled that these were not good grounds for legal separation. This is the first decision on these points and henceforth the point that there no law preventing a man being talked to death will be firmly established. LONDON, March 11. She Paris correspondent of the Times calls attention to the change made in the title of the Chief of the Cabinet in the official list of the ministry. M. Du Omarre is announced as President of the Council, not Vice-President, which has been the title of his predecessors. The correspondent continues: President McMahon will henceforth govern constitutionally and will no longer preside over the meetings of the Cabinet, the resolutions of which will be communicated to him without his having assisted in framing them. Some journals advocate the holding of an International Exhibition in Paris in 1878. The tower from base to summit will be 70 feet in height. Our trustees cannot be too much praised for their discrimination in selecting Mr. Evans' model over all other competitors; it is to be hoped that they will be equally as fortunate in their selection of a builder. Mr. Silver, your eloquent pleader before the bar, was in town on Saturday, waiting for a Chinaman, who failing to put in an appearance, he telegraphed to know the reason why, and received for reply that there were not enough officers in Anaheim to bring him, which disgusted our friend, who declared that he was going to Orange, where they had officers not afraid of a Chinaman. Deputy Sheriff Barham was also in town on Friday, and created quite a panic among some of our squatters. He says that he's "fixed, and he don't care about electioneering now." By the way, our believers in Douglass assert that the reason that Thom and Ross are so virtuously indignant about people squatting on the Rancho Lomos de Santiago, is that they have been retained by Irwin, Flint & Co." I wonder if that ain't it? R. R. Darby, formerly Supt. of Public Instruction of Yolo County, has bought property here, and proposes to make this place his home. He says he was in Anaheim on Thursday, and it snowed and hailed while he was there, and he wanted to know if we had such things here. We told him no, and that we thought he must be mistaken, as the GAZETTE didn't say anything about it. We would advise some of the would be "blue-blooded" of this part of the country to pause, as their genealogy might be traced back as far as some of the "F. F. V.'s" were—to a penal colony. Bishop Moesser informs us that the public school of Newport started last Monday; S. McPherson, teacher. We have examined a synopsis of McConnell's Bill, regulating the practice of medicine and surgery in this State. That the community at large should demand a law protecting them from charlatans and pretenders, is an undoubted fact. That the bill, in its provisions, should not bear with as heavy a hand on the honest, educated practitioner as on those who have neither spent money or time to acquire a medical and surgical education, is also a fact. By one of its provisions, it requires a holder of a diploma to pay as much for its examination as they do of a man the Board of Examiners have to examine, who is not a holder of a diploma, and who has to pass or ought to pass before them, as rigid an examination as the diploma holder does before the faculty who examines him for his degree of a doctor of medicine. Another feature that we do not see provided for is, what constitutes a respectable medical college? We know of several men in this State that are practicing medicine who obtained their diplomas in diploma nails in Philadelphia, viz: Pain's "University of Philadelphia," and Buchanan's "Electric Medical College of Philadelphia," whose charters were revoked by District Court was dismissed March 4, 1858. Survey was made of the whole grant, and this undivided half was patented June 19, 1874. The other half of the undivided controversy was filed before the Land Commission November 6, 1852, rejected by them February 13, 1855, but Judge Ogier confirmed it February 17, 1857. In the survey 3840-4-100 acres are taken. The original papers call for the channel of the Santa Ana river as its eastern boundary, but the Santa Ana river as it runs now, and not as it ran forty-two years ago. In that space between where the Santa Ana river ran in 1834 and where it runs to-day, are 58 sturdy farmers with well cultivated farms, with a population of over 150 persons who ask that this survey be made to conform to the original bed of the Santa Ana river. HOW IT STANDS. The question of survey is upon appeal before the Land Office. Latimer and Morrow for the land-claimants and Thorn and Ross for the solid yeomanry of the land. The Commissioner has to-day substantially decided that he cannot go back of the confirmatory decree of the court in the undivided other half; that the settlers should have made objection to the former survey, under the act of 1860; failing in that they are now estopped. It can now be appealed to the Secretary of the Interior, but will probably meet with the same decision there. We have carefully looked into the matter, and can not see how the Land Office can do otherwise. The degree of court, final survey, approval and patent to a whole grant, of which this is only an undivided one-half, offers a question which drivers from all others in the whole State. The settlers will now have to settle with the grant owners or commence an action in equity before ejectment is commenced against them. In the case of Johnson vs. Towsey (December term, 1711; Walface) the United States Supreme Court held that it had a right upon a bill in equity to reverse proceedings before the courts and departments, and in case of error, held the patentees under departmental decisions or decree as trustees for the persons whom the court should decide to be the persons legally entitled to the property. This is a well-established proposition; and, inasmuch as the United States is co-tuant with the undivided patented half, it looks as though they could find status in court yet. It is a hard case on those settlers. Mr. C. B. Polhemus and Mr. Northam are said to be the owners of this grant. Board of Education. Board met in regular session. Present, Messrs. Long, James, Kurtz, Huber and Lucky. The minutes of the meeting of February 11th were read and approved.

The Executive Legislative and Judicial appropriation bill contained a provision abolishing the office of Supervisor of Internal Revenue which meets with the unanimous approval of the officers of the Government. Brooklyn, March 10. The attorneys for Rubenstein have everything prepared to make application early next week before the Supreme Court for a writ of error and a stay of proceedings. The brother of Sarah Alexander, the murdered girl, has received a letter from his aged father in Russia, urging his son to make a sacred vow not to rest until the murderer of his daughter is punished, and offering to supply him with the necessary funds. New York, March 10. The Union League Club, claiming to represent and believing they truly express the sentiments of Republican voters, declare that in view of the recent exposures of corruption and fraud in the administration of public affairs, the welfare of the Republican party, as well as of the country, demands a searching and thorough investigation of the condition and conduct of every branch of the public service; to the end that all corrupt parties may be brought to light and that all who have abused and betrayed their public trust, whatever may be their station; may be exposed and punished. That the exigencies of party as well as the country, at this time, demand a President who shall be deservedly recognized as a reformer as well as a Republican. The Committee of Investigation of the Commercial Bank report the assets, including stock notes, at $54,444-96; liabilities,$37,469-05, in gold; in currency,$2,108-43.

Another feature that we do not see provided for is, what constitutes a respectable medical college? We know of several men in this State that are practicing medicine who obtained their diplomas in diploma mills in Philadelphia, viz: Pain's "University of Philadelphia," and Buchanan's "Electric Medical College of Philadelphia," whose charters were revoked by the Legislature of Pennsylvania in 1869 because they were convicted of selling diplomas for money alone. Will respectable practitioners, graduates of respectable colleges, have to stand on the same level with these men? The best argument we have seen in favor of the bill is that all the quacks, hoemoepaths, eclectis and pretenders of all kinds are remonstrating against it. Imperfect as the bill seems to us now to be, for the above reasons and the fact that the public should be protected from these vampires who prey upon poor, credulous humanity, we are in favor of the passage of the bill. Santa Ana, March 13th, 1876. The charming contrast of colors in the different shades of the green hills and plains and the snow-covered Sierra Madre, which crowns our landscape, create an impression of beauty, upon the most prosaic mind. Our mountains are more imposing than the pyramids. Napoleon said to his soldiers in Egypt, "Forty centuries look down upon you from those pyramids," and no doubt the poor fellows temporarily forgot their hardships in embarrassment at being gazed upon by so many centuries, but we say to ourselves, "Grizzly bears look down upon you from those mountains" and look at the thought affrightedly around to see if there are any Henry rifles handy.

The report of the arbitrators in the case of Dr. Lucky was discussed and on motion, the action of the arbitrators was confirmed. Mr. James reported that he had taken legal advice as to whether the services of Dr. Lucky, as Principal of the High School, could be dispensed with, and the opinion of Mr. Smith was that he might be removed for cause. In answer to the question, Doctor Lucky stated that he aimed to visit each of the outside schools once a month. A number of bills were presented for which warrants were ordered drawn on the proper funds. It was moved that the use of the Pearlstreet school house be given for a Sabbath School. An amendment was offered charging $10 per month for the use of the house, but it was voted down, and the original motion carried, with the proviso that the building is to be kept in good order. The Secretary was requested to procure a report from Mr. Morris in regard to the uncollected moneys for the special school tax. It was moved and carried that the Senior Class graduate on the 21st of April. Diplomas, blanks, etc., were on motion, ordered to be procured from Bancroft & Co. On motion, the sum of $15 was allowed for expenses incurred in holding the Teachers' Quarterly Examination. Adjourned. A man slightly pretentious, fond of display and somewhat ignorant, recently called the attention of some visitors to a showy carpet on one of his apartments, with the remark: "There, gentlemen, that is one of the best carpets Mr. Brussels ever made!"

The Assembly met at 11 A.M., the Speaker in the chair. The bill incorporating the town of Anaheim, Los Angeles county, was considered under suspension of the rules and passed. Assembly bill preventing hogs or goats from running at large on lands in the State, was ordered engrossed. Archer, from the Committee on Corporations, reported back to the House the Assembly bill incorporating the city of San Diego, stating in the report that the Committee had found it impossible to adjust the local differences involved, and therefore recommender a reference to the delegation from San Diego. The bill was so referred. Berry, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported the Senate bills GAZETTE NO.27 EGRAPH. MISCELLEARY. There are $400,000,000 in treasuries in the vaults of the Bank of England, and if Cowper were alive to-day he might exclaim once more: "England, with all thy vaults I love thee still!" "There" said a young man to his companion from abroad as they walking along Kearney street yesterday, "see that fellow there? Three months ago he came to this town without a cent, and he is a caper for one of the biggest gambling hells in this place, and his face is good for chips at any farebank. He'll be a Supervisor or an Assemblyman yet, if they don't send him to the Penitentiary before his time." "Your visits remind me of the growth of a successful newspaper," said Uncle Jabez, leaning his chin on his cane, and glancing at William Henry, who was sweet on Angelica. "Why so?" inquired William Henry. "Well, they commenced on a weekly, grew to be tri-weekly, and have now become daily, with a Sunday supplement." "Yes," said William Henry, bracing up, "and after we are married we will issue an extra—" "No—h," said Angelica, and then they went out for a stroll.

The introducer made a lengthy argument in its favor, after which it was placed on the file for Monday. Pilson's retraction bill was postponed until Wednesday. The bill which provides for a State Detective Force was considered at length, McGarvey strongly opposing it. Edgerton reported the bill and it was passed. It provides for the appointment of a Chief of State Detectives, at a salary of $3,000 per annum, and two deputies, at $1,800 each. The detectives are to pursue criminals in all possible ways and have the power of Sheriffs and Constables throughout the State.

The subscription list, we understand, will be headed by a liberal gentleman with the handsome some of $250. We have also heard of others who will give liberally. The church edifice is to cost about $4,000. The grape growers of California, who have hitherto raised chiefly the wine variety, are turning their attention to the cultivation of the raisin grape. In a short time our State will be exporting instead of importing raisins. The Santa Clara Echo gives the following receipt for exterminating gophers: They are fond of alfalfa, while its roots are young, and tender. Hence if a small piece of ground is planted in this grass they will confine themselves to it, and leave everything else untouched as long as a root remains. While they make this small spot their home, they can be easily exterminated.

He got home about half past two on Wednesday morning, and after entering the house with much more effort than if he had been a burglar wrestling mightily and prevailing with a bank vault, through the intercession of a nitro glycerine cartridge, placed his watch outside the door to be blacked, and put his boots under his pillow, after carefully winding them up.
