ANAHEIM VOL. VI. Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...JUNE 3, 1876. LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA. The various State Buildings and the peculiarity of their Construction...California's Slovenian Exhibit...The Moral Effect of the Big Show. [Special correspondence of the Gazette.] PHILADELPHIA, May 15. EDS. GAZETTE: To-day I visited the State buildings, some of which are occupied. They combine the provincial with revived ancient architecture and modern convenience. Mississippi has a Gothic log house with rustic adornments, from which is pendant moss of a grizzly hue, peculiar to the forests of that State; while the interior is finished in native wood in its original color; there entering into the whole structure over one hundred species of wood of that State. The building, with its MOSS DRAPERY, Looks like a grey-bearded Kris Kringle Massachusetts has a grand old hall, with ample brick fireplaces heaped The Art of Skeletonizing Leaves. A writer in the Land and Water says: The subject having excited a little interest among some horticulturists lately, owing to the exhibition of some beautifully executed samples at some of the large provincial exhibitions held in the northern and midland counties of England, I took the liberty of appearing to a lady friend, who has been very successful as a skeletonizer of foliage, requesting her to favor me with the modus operandi by which she produces her specimens with such perfect completeness. My informant states at the outset that the art of skeletonizing leaves and flowers would be found much less difficult of accomplishment were the nature and character of the various plants thoroughly studied at first. This is no doubt a very important matter. For instance, it would be but a poor direction to say to the learner, "gather the leaves on a certain day," unless proper attention be also paid to the leaves chosen. They must have reached a certain degree of maturity, neither too old nor too young; and as all leaves do not reach this maturity at the same time, it is obvious that care must be taken that each kind must be gathered when fit for use. The leaves of the magnolia, for instance, may be gathered when the plant is in bloom, varying in time from June till August. They will require from a month to six weeks' time to be well immersed, and so be The Rev. Mr. Milkably filling the during the absence tor, Mr. Allis, in his day evening had on the moral effect Charles Dickens, letter of the great which he spoke of as "the best book End in an exchange to, and think it was to our readers this."

The building, with its MOSS DRAPERY, Looks like a grey-bearded Kris Kringle Massachusetts has a grand old hall, with ample brick fire-places heaped with beech logs, book cases filled with its numerous favorite authors, portraits of former celebrities in its State annals; and in the building is every needed matter for the comfort of citizens of that State. There they can turn aside, rest in quiet, read, write, meet friends, receive their letters, find a register of the address of her citizens visiting the Exhibition, and, in fact, find a home white on the grounds. California has nothing of the kind yet, though I have met many of our citizens who have searched in vain for some place which California can call her own. But there is a general disappointment among others, as well as her own citizens, to find California thus far worse than represented, for there is a place assigned to her in Agricultural Hall, which contains a very few inferior specimens of polished wood, most of which are labelled Mexico, some tall corn stalks, two or three ears of corn such as LOS ANGELES COUNTY Would be ashamed of, some little wheat, not so good as one would see at an ordinary county fair, some dirty looking specimens of ores, and a very few more articles. There is a fruit dryer which is creditable. The several days I have been there, I have found no one at the California department. It must be that California's main collection has not yet arrived, and that it will be made better; but great injury is being done the State by the present representation. Better have had nothing, or had the slovenly exhibit veiled until the whole was ready. There is a State building commenced, but from present appearances it will be one on the last completed. No one on the ground knows anything more about it than that the workmen think it is for California. Without knowing the reason why, it is apparent that a great blunder is being committed. I trust it may be remedied. Dom Pedro has on elegant private pavilion. There are several SAW MILLS In the annexe to Machinery Hall, which will be in full operation. Waltham factory has its operatives, showing the complete construction of a watch, in all its delicate work. The great number of times which the chimes on the bells on Machinery Hall play, is noticed. The Sedan or great rolling chairs, in which visitors can be propelled about among the wonderful sights for sixty cents an hour by stout boys or men is among the usual means direction to say to the learner, "gather the leaves on a certain day," unless proper attention be also paid to the leaves chosen. They must have reached a certain degree of maturity, neither too old nor too young; and as all leaves do not reach this maturity at the same time, it is obvious that care must be taken that each kind must be gathered when fit for use. The leaves of the magnolia, for instance, may be gathered when the plant is in bloom, varying in time from June till August. They will require from a month to six weeks' time to be well immersed, and so be easy to dissect, as the fiber is so strong. The leaves of the ivy rank among the most difficult, and because of the peculiar beauty of the fiber, will amplify repay the trouble involved in the preparation. These may be immersion from the beginning of May to October, but should be leaves of the previous year's growth. All leaves will not answer for dissecting, but those that have been most successfully operated on are from the magnolia, ivy, pear, rose, holly, orange, poplar, willow, elm, lime, service tree, Spanish and horse chesnuts and oak. The leaves of the last named should not, however, be put into the same vessel with the others, as it affects them in an undesirable manner. Seel vessels may also be dissected in an admirable manner; such as those of the stramonium, winter cherry, poppy, etc. To procure good specimens, put the leaves into a deep jar and cover them with soft water, which must not be changed; the jar is then to be put in a cool place. When upon examination, the leaves are found to be soft, they must be carefully brushed in a weak solution of chloride of lime for a short time, to whiten the fibre, and afterwards washed well in two or three waters and dried carefully between sheets of blotting paper or linen, after which they are ready for mounting. To make stems for this purpose, thread stiffened with gum is the most useful, and it has a natural appearance. The leaves may be formed into beques or wreaths, according to the taste of the operator, and should be placed under glass shades to preserve them from harm. I have seen groups of leaves so prepared that formed acceptable table ornaments in sitting and dining rooms; and it suggests a pleasant employment for the fair sex with which to fill up moments of leisure. It is evident that much discrimination in the selection of the right leaves is required, and a light and careful manipulation is also essential; and in the case of failure from the first attempt, no small amount of patience is needed to carry the operation through to ultimate success.

The great number of times which the chimes on the bells on Machinery Hall play, is noticed. The Sedan or great rolling chairs, in which visitors can be propelled about among the wonderful sights for sixty cents an hour by stout boys or men, is among the usual means of locomotion. Small dummy engines (smoke consumers) are used upon part of the street cars coming into the grounds. Fare is five cents, but by horse carriages from distant parts of the city the cost to the grounds is 15 cents. The old city contains 25 square miles, and it is amazing to note the solid, elegant improvements, such as numberless stone or iron bridges, well paved and graded roads; stone river embankments, giving Philadelphia very much the air of an European city, save that Philadelphia is a bright and clean city, lacking the grim accumulations of ages, which lend such a charm to old world edifices. New York hardly heartily loves the Quaker City's prominence just now, but upon the whole THE MORAL EFFECT Of this gathering of the sister States and the nations of the earth, will be a grand demonstration that it is better to love one another and enjoy each other's best things, interchangeably, with demonstrations of joy and thankfulness to God, than to kill, envy and sullenly intrench ourselves in our own ruts.

Frank Lightfoot, charged with complicity in the crime of horse stealing, had an examination last Saturday, and was discharged, there being no evidence to originate him. A powerful iron press, the property of Mr. Matthew Keller, and formerly used by him experimenting in the tobacco business, will probably be purchased by Messrs. McGregor and Perkins for their tobacco factory. The machinery at Mr. Temple's ranch will also be needed. The corn so far planted throughout the valley is growing nicely. Upon the magnificent Pico ranch corn is now four feet high or more. Upon some ranches barley has been cut and removed and the ground irrigated for corn. There is said to be plenty of water for irrigation; all the ditches being full. We were shown this week specimens of the tobacco grown by Messrs. Perkins & McGregor, which it is designed to send to the Centennial. Some ten or twelve pounds will be carefully prepared and sent forward, consisting of Havana and Connecticut leaves, bright and dark wrappers. Some of this tobacco was grown here and some at Costa. It is the choicest of last year's crop, and possesses a peculiarly fine aroma, and if anything can demonstrate the entire adaptability of this cotton to the culture of the weed. An intelligent old lady contributes this: "In helping the female passenger to mount the steps at the end of calreo, conductors had better just bearer, nor in their impudence ever dare to squeeze their waist with a loving air; for the wealthy female passenger may think it something she couldn't bear, and rolling her eye in a flandish glare, just lift a handful of curiously hair from the head of the impudent conductor, who's always ready to take a fire, but isn't so much at taking care."

Mr. Mitchell, who is creditably filling the Presbyterian pulpit during the absence of the regular pastor, Mr. Allis, in his sermon last Sunday evening had occasion to refer to the moral effect of the writings of Charles Dickens, and mentioned the letter of the great author to his son, in which he spoke of the New Testament as "the best book in the world." We find in an exchange the letter referred to, and think it will prove acceptable to our readers this morning: "I exhort you to persevere in a thorough determination to do whatever you have to do as well as you can do it. I was not so old as you are now when I first had to win my food, and to do it out of this determination; and I have never slackened in it since. Never take a mean advantage of any one in any transaction, and never be hard upon people who are in your power. Try to do to others as you would have them to do to you, and do not be discouraged if they fail sometimes. It is much better for you if they should fall in obeying the greatest rule laid down by our Savior, than that you should. I put a New Testament among your books for the very same reasons, and with the very same hopes that made me write an essay account of it for you when you were a little child: Because it is the best book that ever was or will be known in the world; and because it teaches us the least lessons by which any Railroad Extension to San Bernardino. When we consider the importance of extending the Los Angeles & Independence Railroad to San Bernardino, it seems strange that the people "all along the line" do not manifest a more "substantial" interest in the enterprise. The distance is about seventy miles, and the line could be so run as to pass over splendid agricultural country the entire distance. Starting from Los Angeles, where the road now terminates, its route should be across a fine stretch of country, leaving Downey City a little to the right; thence touching Anaheim, which would be on the opposite side of the town from the Southern Pacific; thence to the Santa Ana river, at a point two or three miles nearer Orange than the other road at Anaheim; thence up the river to Riverside; thence by the best route to San Bernardino. The cost of this extension of seventy miles would, perhaps, not exceed $8,000 per mile, as the grade is easy and the rolling stock already on hand sufficient to operate it. This brings the cost within $420,000, which might be apportioned thus: L. A. & I. B. Co. $100,000 Los Angeles City 150,000 Riverside 50,000 San Bernardino 100,000 Los Nietos settlement, Anaheim, Orange, etc. 20,000 Total $420,000 Of course, these are only approximate figures which it might be found The youngest preacher in the world is now visiting some friends in Edgefield. His home is in Winchester, Tennessee. He has preached from one to five sermons per day since his arrival in this locality, and will probably continue his labors during his entire stay. He is a little less than five years old, but handles his text with some degree of skill, and never fails to interest his audience. Last Saturday, while delivering a sermon to his little playmates in his uncle's front yard, quite a crowd of passers-by collected along the railing to hear him. Wholly unabashed the young orator continued his sermon in regular orthodox style, holding his audience for twenty minutes, if not spell-bound, at least considerably interested, and when his discourse was finished, his audience was dislissed with all the ease, grace and sollenity of an ancient ivy. The little fellow has become possessed with the idea that he is a genuine preacher, and does not go about it in a playful, childish way, but with all the gravity and dignity of being called upon to labor in such fields. For one of such tender years one in any transaction, and never be hard upon people who are in your power.

As your brothers have gone away one by one, I have written to each such words as I am now writing to you, and have entrusted them to guide themselves by this book, putting aside the interpretations and inventions of man. You will remember that you have never at home been harassed about religious observances, or mere formalities. I have always been anxious not to weary my children with such things before they are old enough to form opinions respecting them. You will therefore understand the better that I now most solemnly impress upon you the truth and beauty of the Christian religion as it came from Christ himself, and the impossibility of your going far wrong if you humbly but heartily respect it. Only one thing more on this head. The more we are in earnest as to feeling about it, the less we are disposed to hold forth about it. Never abandon the wholesome practice of saying your own private prayers night and morning. I have never abandoned it myself and I know the comfort of it. I hope you will always be able to say in life that you had a kind father. You cannot show your affection to him as well, or make him so happy as by doing." A Youthful Preacher.

The greatest trouble with amateur cultivation of plants arises from over-watering them. The soil should never become so dry that the leaves of the plant droop or that it will crumble under the finger; but it should not be supplied with water until it has entirely absorbed what it has received. Every year the practice of using the water quite warm to the hand grows in favor with me; and now I would not give a plant the smallest sap of cold water; being sure that it would injure it. Plants that are coming into flower or in full blossom，of course，require more water than those that are not in so vigorous a condition. Saucers are quite as needful for the window garden as for the breakfast table；and every pot should be supplied with one，and if it is filled with boiling water every morning it will aid to the luxuriance of the plant，and frequently no other moisture will be needed for several days. The contents of the teapot are also efficacious in plant growth，and then tea leaves can be added in small quantities to the soil of the pots。Ivies are always beautiful by an application P.T.Barnum has resolved to be a travelling snowman no longer，but when it was announced that New Haven had a two-legged horse，his wife had to hide his hat.

BY TELEGRAPH. SAN DIEGO, May 28. District Attorney Wilder returned from below the line last night, whence he had been with a constable who had a warrant for the arrest of Jones, of Mamie Whiting notoriety, on a charge of felony. Jones and Mamie were stopping at Pedro Bedillo's, just across the line. When the officers arrived there, they found Villagrans, commandant of the frontier, who refused to allow Jones to be taken from the Mexican Territory without a requisition from the proper legal authorities. There is no doubt that Villagrans will protect Jones to his utmost. Mr. Fennell, the uncle of Mamie, was also there, and endeavored to prevail upon her to return with him to his house at Julian, but she expressed her determination of staying with Jones. When Jones found there was a warrant for his arrest he was furious, and complained of persecution and all that sort of thing. The probabilities are that all hands will go to San Rafael next week. They think if the commandant could be got away, Jones could be got to this side of the line, but Villagrans is watchful and suspicious. SAN FRANCISCO, May 25. At the Democratic State Convention to-day, after the State Central Committee had been chosen, the Committee on resolutions and platform reported. The platform contains the usual declarations in favor of economy in gation into line in support of Civilizing. So, if Governor Hayes will accept of the nomination for Vice-President there is a straight and easy path to Conkling's triumph. With this understanding the Ohio delegation will be transferred to Conkling and Hayes will make the strongest ticket, because it will ensure success in the two great presidential States of Ohio and New York, so which the election will mainly turn. The Tribune thinks that Tilden's man is much like Blaine's except that, in the Democratic Convention, the two-thirds vote makes his chance more hopeless. A determined Democrat faction in his own State has resolved to defeat him at any cost; and, what is more important, the western wing of the party would bolt and destroy all chance for the success of Tilden, should he be nominated. A man must be politically blind or in a state of lunacy who does not see that these adverse elements would be strong enough to control at least one-third of the St. Louis Convention. Tilden cannot anticipate these facts by shattering his eyes. True patriotism and At the Democratic State Convention to-day, after the State Central Committee had been chosen, the Committee on resolutions and platform reported. The platform contains the usual declarations in favor of economy in expenditures, honest administration of public affairs, local government by the people, free schools, punishment of official offenders, etc. The 10th resolution favors hard money. The 11th advocates a tariff for revenue only. 12th Deprecates Chinese Immigration, and calls for Government aid to check it. After some discussion the platform was adopted as read. A resolution was offered that majority of the delegation to the National Convention be authorized to cast the vote of the State as a unit. The resolution elicited much debate. The resolution was finally adopted by a vote of counties, 257 to 96. Resolution offered by Lewis, of Tetamna, that on account of his opposition to corrupt practices in public office and his known principles in favor of hard money, the nomination by the National Convention, of Samuel J. Tilden, would be acceptable to the Democracy of California and a victory in favor of honest government. On motion the rules were suspended and the resolution was adopted by acclamation. SAN FRANCISCO, May 26. Wednesday afternoon, W. T. Sherman, Eugene Smith, Charles H. Bolan and Fred. Higgins, reported to have been employees of the California Watch Company, started from Berkeley for a sailboat excursion to the Oyster Beds, about eight miles from Berkeley. When about half way, a squall upset the boat, drowning all excepting Sherman. The four men clung to the bottom of the boat about four hours; and, while drifting, the Berkeley steamer passed within 500 yards of them but no one on the steamer saw them, and soon after Smith let go, then Higgins, and last, Bolan. Sherman clung to the boat until it drifted on the beach, near the Oakland race track, and about midnight crawled to the Baxter House near by, on San Pablo avenue. NEW YORK, May 26. The Sun's Washington special says that it is asserted to-day at the capital that the Pacific Coast lobby has expended $300,000 in securing the passage through the House of the bill giving effect to the Hawaiian treaty.

It appears the actual exports from the Hawaiian Island are of less importance than the privilege it will give to successfully carry on smuggling on a large scale.

A man must be politically blind or in a state of lunacy who does not see that these adverse elements would be strong enough to control at least one-third of the St. Louis Convention. Tilden cannot anticipate these shots by shouting his eyes. True patriotism and magnanimous party loyalty seize him to take note of the situation, withdraw his claims and turn his influence in favor of a candidate who would save all that is valuable in his principles. Let Tilden rise to a noble and generous act of self-abnegation and strengthen his party by laying his personal aspirations upon the altar. WORCESTER, Mass., May 26. Samuel J. Frost was executed here this morning for the murder of his wife's brother, Franklin Lowrie, on July 4th, 1875. As the drop fall a horrible scene was presented to the spectators. The fall was so great that the head of the unfortunate criminal was jerked off from his body and hung only by ligaments, the blood spurting in every direction over the sandfield and floor. BUNSON, May 28. Thomas W. Piper was executed here this morning, for the murder of the child Mabel Young, in the tower of the Warren Avenue Baptist church, on the 23d of May, 1875. The body fell a distance of eight feet; and, after spinning around violently for a few seconds, remained perfectly motionless. Death was instantaneous. NEW YORK, May 29. The Mexican rider, Peralta, succeeded yesterday in running 25 mustangs 145 miles inside of seven hours. The exact time of his riding, from the start to the finish, was six hours, eighteen minutes and forty-three seconds. After making of the race, it was advertised that Peralta would ride twenty-five mustangs 155 miles in seven hours for a stake of $10,000, $5,000 of which he backed, and the other backed time. It is not probable that any money was put up on the race. It was evidently gotten up, like its predecessors, for the sake of the gate money it was sure to bring in hand. The manager was asked this afternoon to name the person who put up the stakes. He declined doing so, saying that the men who put up the money would not have their names known for all the money you could pile inside that track. The statement was too absurd to be credited by those who heard it. The race was evidently an investment, and as such it proved even more successful than its predecessors. The crowd has been immense. At its start there were 2,000 people; at one o'clock there were 6,000; by two o'clock the number had reached 16,000; and from that time until the close spectators filing into the park enclosure made a continuous process. The entire number of spectators was 15,000, of whom 12,000 paid a up-town invited a evening to go into the children may their apped a moment on her; and when they the little prattlers or evening hymn, and down the kitten in the visitor appeared to who put on a seal first time at a coun-count much surprised by being remark made to be passing through When did the mis-steal?

The names of the recipients of a portion of this money were given. It appears the actual exports from the Hawaiian Island are of less importance than the privilege it will give to successfully carry on smuggling on a large scale. The charge will probably be investigated and an opportunity will be given to show where the money went to do the most good. Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., the son of the President, was to-day admitted to the bar. San Francisco, May 27. At the meeting of the Board of Health, it was reported that fourteen cases of small-pox are now known to exist in the city, with, presumably, some unknown cases in Chinatown. The disease is pronounced epidemic and proper sanitary measures will be taken to prevent its spread. New York, May 27. The Herald, reviewing the political situation, repeats: "Blaine will be 100 delegates short of a majority when he enters the Convention, and the highest vote he will receive will be on the first ballot. Outside of his own State New England sends sixty-four delegates, and of these forty-two will not vote for Blaine. The candidate who is so weak in his own section, where he is best known, and who is repudiated by Pennsylvania, the State of his birth, is not likely to gain strength during the progress of the Convention. It has been conceded from the beginning that Hartranft will be withdrawn from the start, and that he will not receive a single vote in addition to those of Pennsylvania. Nobody even affects to doubt that the Pennsylvania delegation will support Conkling when Hartranft is withdrawn. With the votes of New York and Pennsylvania, Conkling only needs those of Ohio to ensure his nomination, if he should get 255 of the southern votes, and it seems probable that he will receive a much larger number when the friends of Morton admit that he can't be nominated. It is safe to assume that Morton will not be the successful candidate, and as soon as he is out of the field the administration influence will wane the southern deli- Do you know how a church fair works? The principle is a very ingenious one. Some ladies borrow money from their husbands, buy materials, and make up fancy articles which they give to the fair. Then they change places, borrow more money, and buy the articles back again. Grosley's old house at Chapagne in vacant. The trees haven't been pruned since 1872 and the fences are still disligated.

It is an awful morning in such premises as contemptuous running for Peppea this year.
