Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...JUNE 17, 1876. LETTER FROM THE HOT SPRINGS Hot Springs, June 12. Edg. Gazette:—As it has been noticed in some of the dailies of this county, not excepting the Anahein Gazette, that a number of gentlemen have retired to this locality to drink of the waters of life, and by other means improve and recruit their tired frames, some little account of what they see, hear and enjoy may be interesting to those whose curiosity has been excited by the little notices alluded to. The Hot Springs of San Juan Capistrano have for many years past been a favorite resort for health seekers, pleasure seekers, hunters and others; and have the reputation of being a sovereign remedy for nearly all the "ills that flesh is breir to." How much of the healing power is to be attributed to the beautiful climate, to the clear, pure air, the perfect rest and freedom from the duties, claims and needs that bark along our track, and how much to the peculiar properties of the waters, is a question which I leave to the physicians to discuss. One thing, however, is proved by ocular demonstration—that causes almost marvelous, are of daily occurrence here. From rheumatism to love sickness, there seems to be nothing but finds relief from a visit to the springs. The unsettled condition of the Mission Vieja Rancho, on which these springs are situated, preclude the establishment of permanent improvements, and the number of tents and grotesque structures in the place of houses gives the albeit ordinary character of this place. LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA. [Special correspondence of the Gazette.] CENTENNIAL GROUNDS, Philadelphia. May 30th, 1876. Agricultural Hall covers over ten acres of ground, and it is one of the smaller buildings, and does not include the rooms and buildings for swine, horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, poultry, fish, etc. The various departments in the Hall are lettered from A to Z, and then subdivided, as A 1/2, and so on to 28. There is a Pomological Hall, also a carriage and a wagon hall, besides a great number of other buildings, for instance like the Guano Co.'s building, erected to show forth the wares of that company. It is AN ELEGANT TEMPLE In gilt bronze and crimson colors, adorned with luxuriant floral growths stimulated by fertilizers sold by the Company. Their fertilizers are even sold in tin cans, such as ladies can take home in one hand for their house plants. Fertilizers must be used in the Eastern States to get a return of 6 per cent on the value of the land. Do our people appreciate that the soil of Los Angeles county needs no guano, phosphates, bone dust, poudrette and plaster to enrich it? Land dressing is a fearful tax here upon the farmer, yet nothing can be done without those high-priced fertilizers upon the worn-out and thin soils of the East. At so high prices are those manufactured manures sold in the New York markets, it would pay a large profit to load vessels with the accumulations of sheep corrals along the sea shore of California, where there are conveniences of lighterage, as an ARTICLE OF COMMERCE For this market. Stable manure is now transported by cars here the same as in England, and on the lines of railways in the suburbs of most cities is to be seen immense manure piles where the material is properly mixed. buds, as stalks, WHITE The next day the grimage to the Gilmore's band selections, includes Venice.

The unsettled condition of the Mission Vieja Rancho, on which these springs are situated, preclude the establishment of permanent improvements, and the number of tents and grotesque structures in the place of houses, gives the vicinity a quaint appearance, reminding one of old mining camps, during the early days of the gold fever in California. There are at present about fifty persons residing here, and each has followed the bent of his own sweet will in regard to the structure and locality of his abode, and the beautiful caffin in which the springs are located is dotted with tents and brush huts of every size, shape and description. There are several springs in this caffin to which medical properties are attributed. The spring mainly used for bathing purposes is a large one, supplying water sufficient for all the bath houses that can be crowded around it. The water is hot and has a strong smell of phosphorus. It is said to contain both iron and sulphur, and is not at all agreeable to the smell or taste; but as the fluid is mingled with wholesome medicinal things it is rendered palatable. Our party, with that Bohemian freedom peculiar to its members, located themselves under the hospitable care of Mrs. Larkin, and were not long in discovering that their lines had fallen in pleasant places—especially pleasant to those of the party who are fond of the society of the fair sex. The company thus strangely thrown together combines all the contradictions of character and disposition calculated to promote sociability and good feeling. There are the grave and the gay, the sentimental and the practical, the dreamer, the philosopher and the student. The sticklers for Hygienic regimen, and the lovers of good living, associate with a hearty good feeling, reminding one forebly of one of Barnum's happy families. The long, beautiful days are being pleasantly passed in the varied occupations of sleeping, eating, reading, roquet and conversation, and when the bright sun hides behind the hill, and the sentiment-impressing twilight gathers the company into the smaller circle, many and strange are the sentiments expressed and the subjects brought under discussion, and your attent correspondent finds much of interest and amusement in the various ideas advanced from the little party. The wonderful properties of the waters (?) have had a beneficial effect upon our company and all are rejoicing in the prospect of returning health and strength, and the rapid ty with which the loaded dinner table is cleared, is convincing of improved appetites and digestions. Nothing has occurred so mark the lapse of the pleasant days, and the high-priced fertilizers upon the worn-out and thin soils of the East. At so high prices are those manufactured manures sold in the New York markets, it would pay a large profit to load vessels with the accumulations of sheep corrals along the sea shore of California, where there are conveniences of lighterage, as an ARTICLE OF COMMERCE For this market. Stable manure is now transported by cars here the same as in England, and on the lines of railways in the suburbs of most cities is to be seen immense manure piles where the material is properly mixed with foreign fertilizers and when in proper condition, sold to order. I think it is five million dollars worth of phosphate rocks South Carolina annually exports for the enrichment of poor soils abroad. The rock is mined from its beds of clay, often fifteen or twenty feet in depth, then washed, crushed, powdered and sacked for shipment throughout the world; its discovery was made since the war. There are bone and phosphate rock mills here on exhibition, and vegetables are growing on land dressed and undressed with the fertilizers, showing clearly the advantage of dressing this poor soil. The exhibit of GREEN FRUITS Is continuous, being daily replenished from various States, and I yet hope to see some car-loads from California. In a shady valley, beside a small lake, is a hunter's log camp-fire, coon, and deer skins stretched about elk horns, fishing-tackle, squirrels,guns, blankets and all the bona fide camp articles and style. A live bear is chained to a free near by, and a dog-out and a birch canoe lie on the lake ready for use by a couple of stout hunters, one in buck skin and the other in homespun, who fill the role of Nimrods. Inside the grounds are two lines of railways, on which you can take a ride of about five miles for five cents, seeing all the grounds and buildings in the circuit, and it is a favorite way of transit from one building to another by the weary sight-seer; yet some hundreds are hourly traveling by rolling chairs, at the higher rate of SIxty CENTS AN HOUR. Twenty-five dollars would not buy a single set of catalogues issued by the official authority, so great is the exhibit. Large quantities of orange marma-lade is made in Florida and supplied to the New York and Philadelphia markets, a demand having been created for the use of this article by the consumption of a great deal heretofore shipped from Dundee, Scotland, where in the season of oranges in Spain—from whence they get their supply—about two million jars of orange marma-lade is annually manufactured at one establishment, by chopping the orange with its rind after the seeds are taken out, very fine) and cooking it in white sugar.

The kind of a man Governor Hayes is, the Dayton (Ohio) Journal tells this: Some of the unposted papers have an idea that Governor Hayes is a feeble man physically. Well, he weighs between 180 and 100 pounds; can jump any ordinary fence in the State upon which he can place his hands; is an ugly customer with the gloves in a sparring match; is a good shot with a rifle or shot gun; is a pretty good muffer at base-ball; can ride any horse in or out of Kentucky; can ent a good swath with a scythe in anybody's meadow; wouldn't make a bad hand with a cradle in a wheat field; can plough as straight a furrow through fallow ground as the best Granger in his county; can throw Halstead, "back or side holts," five times one of six, and can tie his right hand behind him and fling "Denise" Smith over. "Nankey- John's" county, there's plenty of H—synd in him. Import the Oranges And the sugar, and export the manufactured product largely to this country, where a heavy duty is imposed, yet make a good profit. A few years since I visited the works of Mr. Keeler, who then had one thousand men in his employ engaged in making marmalade of oranges and lemons, and in putting up black currents and gooseberries. Now, If Mr. Keeler, who started business as a small confectioner, could make a million dollars on marmalade as he did, under the double disadvantage of importation of fruit and sugar, could not immense profits accrue to the pioneer in that business in Los Angeles county, who would produce his own beet sugar and fruits? A. G. Cook. Letter from Philadelphia. [Special Correspondence of the Gazette.] Centennial Grounds, June 1. The Knights Templar, on May 10th, to the number of 7,000 made the most imposing parade ever known by that order, being magnificently uniformed and drilled. They went through the evolutions of forming squares, crosses, and triangles with precision, accompanied by a score or more of bands of music. The procession occupied an hour and twenty-five minutes in passing a point. In the afternoon, at the Academy of Music, For the installation of the Grand Commandery of Pennsylvania, the parquet was floored over, and the stage set to represent an encampment upon the bank of Lake Tiberias. After imposing ceremonies a prayer was recited, and the choir chanted, "Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, World without end." The retiring Commander was then presented with a beautiful floral design, the centre of which represented the American flag, the field being composed of blue immaculates interpuncted with white marble.

The next day the Knights made a pilgrimage to the Expedition, where Gilmore's band performed some grand selections, including the Carnival of Venice. Admissions to the Exposition yesterday numbered 40,000. The expenses are now cut down to $8,000 per day. It is the greatest school ever opened to the people of the world. There is instruction in every exhibit and every department has some useful and elevating lesson and influence, and here is accumulated the excellence of the world in one great review. Here is no mediocrity — all is the best. Among the conveniences is the DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC COMFORT. This is a large building, admirably arranged for the purpose for which it is intended, and in its regulations so constituted that it cannot fail to become popular. It contains a principal reception room, ladies' parlor, elegantly furnished with conveniences of every kind; coat and baggage room, barber shop, hair dressing salon, lavatories, lunch room, etc. The old NAVAL FIRE LOCKS In the Government Pavilion are curious and formidable relics of our early history. One of them, a brass piece about 24 inch bore, weighs about 100 pounds, and it is hard to imagine how the old tars ever projected it from the shoulder. THE WEST VIRGINIA HOUSE Is interesting.

McFadden, Vice-President; A. G. Beebe, Treasurer; Fred Rimpau, Secretary; B. M. Barham, Sergeant-at-Arms. Meera Montgomery,'Lynill and Knox were appointed a Standing Committee of three for the term. The Society met last night and discussed the following subject: Resolved, That capital punishment ought to be abolished." Theo. Lynill, assisted by Meera. Meera Montgomery, assisted by Meera. Knox, Grimshaw and Barham, for the negative. We present below a synopsis of the CONSTITUTION. The Association shall be known as the Anaheim Literary Society, and its objects are for the improvement of all connected with it, in declamation, debating, social advancement and general literature.

The records show that yesterday was the hottest day ever experienced in San Francisco since weather records have been kept. At one time the thermometer touched ninety-five in the shade. Three hundred and fifty-six Chinese arrived yesterday on the American ship Mary Whiting, from Hong Kong. There are now in the peat house 13 Chinese lepers. The physicians recently appointed to vaccinate the public free of charge have closed their office, having vaccinated in the neighborhood 20,000 people. It has been decided that the banks shall be closed in this city at noon on the 1st of July to 10 o'clock on the morning of the 5th. It is quite safe to affirm that there will be a general suspension of financial institutions, and wholesale houses during that interval. Williams & Blanchard, the new managers of the Pacific Mail, say that the changes among the employees of the company will not be general. It is the intention to do whatever can be fairly done to render the line popular with shippers and the travelling public. Harmonious relations between the Pacific Mail and the Oriental and Occidental lines will be maintained. For the convenience of business men, an up-town office will again be opened at 218 California street. The Panama Transit Company's steamer, which is under the same agency, will continue to make her regular trips is interesting. She makes a magnificent display of her minerals, her woods and cereals, and the handicraft of her people. On the door is a sign, "West Virginia Welcomes All." Tennessee's headquarters are in a tent.

There is also one other new California dryer up. The Alden is not represented. DECORATION DAY Was observed for the ninth time under the charge of the Grand Army of the Republic, and there are no long distinctions, but floral tributes are laid upon the graves of all who fell in the late war. Peace is love and "Good Will to All." Long may it continue. Weather is quite as hot now as I ever experienced in California. A. G. Cook. Santa Monica Items. The Santa Monica Outlook has the following: Mr. Calvert has a patch of corn on his Villa tract near town that would make even a Gospel Swamper open his eyes. At a meeting which was held on Thursday evening, at the Pavilion by the citizens of Santa Monica, Messrs. Chapin, Calwell and Boehne were appointed a Committee to solicit subscriptions to the amount of $200, the money to be used in repairing the road leading over the mountains from this point to San Fernando valley. It is to be hoped that those who have not contributed to this fund will do so, as the road needs repairing and there is but little room for delay. The large wheat crop is being harvested in that valley, and unless the road is put in good order, its shipment will be by some other route than this. Santa Monica Lodge, No. 245, I. O. F., has been organized, and the officers were installed last night, the following gentlemen from Los Angeles officiating: Horace Burdick, D. D. G. M.; J. R. Summers, D. G. M.; C. C. Lips, G. Sec'y; S. Benjamin, G. M. The following are the names of the officers installed, who are also the charter members: John B. Wilson, N. G.; W. A. Blaisdell, V. G.; James S. Wilson, Secretary; J. M. Rogers, Treasurer; D. S. Cummins, P. G.; J. J. Sharkles, I. G.; N L. Coon, R. S. After the lodge adjourned they repaired to the Santa Monica Hotel, where they partook of an elegant lunch, prepared in the usual handsome style of Messrs. Chapman & Hough. We met P. C. Mulloy, who has a large bee-ranch in Cox's Canyon, last Sunday. He informes us that he had already shipped 200 cases of honey; would ship 50 more this week, and 50 the week following. Up to the time of the conversation he had shipped 30,000 pounds. Mr. Mulloy has a very choice location in the Cahuenga range where there is abundance of bee feed. BY LAWS.

The Chair has the power to impose a fine, not to exceed one dollar, upon any member making use of improper language during debate, or for disorderly conduct. If any member neglects to pay his fines or dues within two weeks, they shall be doubled, and two weeks further time granted in which to pay the same; and if not paid at the expiration of said time, but ceases to be a member. But members who have been fined have the right to appeal from the decision of the Chair; and if the Chair is not sustained by the members, the fine shall be remitted.

Adjournment. FRATERNAL COURTESY. It is particularly enjoined that the members of this society treat each other with due delicacy and respect, and that all discussions be conducted with spirit candor, moderation and generosity, and that all personal aliances and sarcastic language, by which a brother's feeling may be hurt, be never indulged in; that in concord and good-fellowship we may cherish and promote our prominent features of William & Blanchard, the new managers of the Pacific Mail, say that the changes among the employees of the company will not be general. It is the intention to do whatver can be fairly done to render the line popular with shippers and the travelling public. Harmonious relations between the Pacific Mail and the Oriental and Occidental lines will be maintained. For the convenience of business men, an up-town office will again be opened at 218 California street. The Panama Transit Company's steamer, which is under the same agency, will continue to make her regular trips from San Francisco to Panama. The city of Sydney to-day brought 60 cabin passengers and 145 steamer. It is expected that a connection with the railroad will be inaugurated. NEW YORK, June 12. A Washington dispatch says that Speaker Kerr is worse, that he slept very little last night, and although the acute pain of neuralgia in the bowels from which he was suffering is diminished, there are symptoms of great danger, and his voice is failing visibly. It is feared that his condition is such that although he may struggle on for some time he is nevertheless likely to die any day, and this report has cast a gloom over his Democratic colleagues. It is generally said that Kerr will never again be in the House. NEW YORK, June 12. The Times' Washington Special says that Blaine yesterday received a letter informing him that his friend, A. Rockwood Hoar, who has been one of his warm supporters, had decided to oppose his nomination for President. This seemed to annoy him considerably, and during the morning frequently alluded to Hoar's defection. CINCINNATI, June 12. A sensational dispatch from Washington to the effect that Mr. Bristow had called upon Mr. Blaine in his prostrate condition and was repelled by Mr. Blaine caused considerable comment. Mr. Frye, leader of the Blaine faction, says he does not believe the statement, as there has been no allusion to it in the dispatches and furthermore he knew Mr. Blaine and Mr. Bristow were friendly and always had been. The greatest anxiety has been felt by all parties concerning the condition of Mr. Blaine. A number of telegrams were received stating that he was improving rapidly, and in a day or two would be completely restored. Some parties declare it to be a fact that Mr. Blaine's illness was being used to weaken his force and especially to prevent any sympathy being excited in his favor to the ext ut of winning doubtful delegates to his support. PROVIDENCE, R.I., June 12. The trustees of the A. and N. Sprague Manufacturing Company have given orders to shut down all their mills and print works as soon as the stock on hand can be run out. The cause is present depressed condition of the market for cotton goods. The production will not be resumed until the prices are materially improved. WASHINGTON, June 12. At 1:10 P.M., all expectations regard- Sharkles, I. G.; N. L. Coon, R. S. After the judge adjourned they repaired to the Santa Monica Hotel, where they partook of an elegant lunch, prepared in the usual handsome style of Messrs. Chapman & Hough. We met P. C. Mulloy, who has a large bee-ranch in Cox's Cafon, last Sunday. He informes us that he had already shipped 200 cases of honey; would ship 50 more this week, and 50 the week following. Up to the time of the conversation he had shipped 30,000 pounds. Mr. Mulloy has a very choice location in the Cahuenga range where there is abundance of bee feed. He is thoroughly skilled in the management of his hives, which number some 300, from which he expects to gather 60,000 pounds of honey, which he thinks will not him not less than $1,000 this season. Sulphur the Vines. Those who have sulphured their grape vines once this season and intend to sulphur them the second time, should do so at once. Those who have not sulphured their vines at all should suspend all other operations on the farm, if necessary, until they have given their vines one good sulphuring sulphur not only prevents mildew, but acts as a healthy stimulant and fertilizer of the vines. Applied to the leaves, it soon finds its way through the vines to their roots and into the material of the grapes themselves, and renders them more mellow and of a richer and more pleasant flavor. The best time to put the sulphur on the vines is early on a dewy morning, when the leaves are wet and when there is but little air stirring. There is no outlay of money and time on the vines that will bring so great and so sure a return as sulphuring them well soon after the leaves are formed in the early spring, and then again after the berries are set. A Very Singular Salmon. "Sator arepo lenet opera rotua." 1. This spells backward and forward all the same. 2. Then taking all the first letters of each word spells the first word. 3. Then all the second letters of each word spells the second word. 4. Then all the third, and sixth through the fourth and fifth. 5.

Are Spirits Amenable to Justice? That is the singular question now agitating a Court in one of the Eastern States. Some one has brought suit to compel a medium either to abandon her exhibition of "spiritual phenomena," or to pay regular license as a juggler. The medium affirms that she is not a juggler, for all her tricks are performed for her by disembodied spirits. As, however, she does not appear willing or capable of producing these her familiars, it looks though the case might go against her, for her enemies reason that all she does is by sedgerlemain, and the Judge seems disposed to hold that inasmuch as the defendant prints handbills, and advertisers, she must be pursuing some sort of business which, if not jugglery, is perhaps a more harmful kind of impureity. It is curious to reflect upon the change that has taken place in public opinion regarding three matters. It is not so very long ago since any woman confessing to what this woman alleges of her own correspondence with disembodied spirits, would have been condemned to perish at the stake; but now the only question is whether she can be properly called upon to pay a license in jugglery — Moreover, American laws used to weaken his force and especially to prevent any sympathy being excited in his favor to the extent of winning doubtful delegates to his support. PROVIDENCE, R. L., June 12. The trustees of the A. and N. Sprague Manufacturing Company have given orders to shut down all their mills and print works as soon as the stock on hand can be run out.

LONDON, June 12. The Mark Lane Express says that the English corn market report of present condition of the crops are hopeful. The weather during the past week has been fine, and in every way favorable to agricultural operations. The appearance of the wheat plant is generally healthy. Under the influence of the approved appearance of the country and the considerably increased foreign supplies over the local, the market has assumed a quieter tone. The arrivals of Indian wheat have been large. Unless some new aspect of the Eastern question, or an unfavorable change in the weather should give a spur to speculation, it is probable trade will continue calm and lifeless. Recent favorable winds have brought into ports of call a fair number of cargos which are firmly held, especially as political matters remain in such an unmeritable state.

Retrowski, C commissioners of Immigration, and Wm. McKibben, Sheriff of the city and county of San Francisco, Cal., in error to the Supreme Court of the State of California. The full text of the opinion has been published, but the following syllabus is presented to give a clearer view of what was decided, than could be gained from the text without much study. The Statute of California, which is the subject of consideration in this case, does not require a bond for every passenger or commutation money, as the Statute of New York and Louisiana do, but only for certain enumerated classes, among whom are lewd and debauchel women. But the features of the statutes are such as to show very clearly that the purpose is to extort money from a large class of passengers or to prevent their immigration altogether. The statute also operates directly on the passenger, for unless the master or owner of the vessel gives an amorous bond for the future protection of the State against the support of the passenger, or pays such a sum as the Commissioner of Immigration wishes to exact, he is not permitted to land them from the vessel. The power which the commissioner is authorized to exercise under the statutes is such as to bring the United States into conflict with other nations, a power which can only belong to the Federal Government. If the right of the States to pass statutes to protect themselves in regard to criminal, pauper and depraved foreigners landing within their borders exists at all, it is limited to such laws as are absolutely necessary for that purpose, and this mere police regulation cannot extend so far as to prevent age here and known to be on the way is 450,000 tons carrying capacity, and enough is expected before December to take all of the surplus barley, which is estimated at 75,000 tons at fifty cents alongside.

The conclusion of her brief speech was received with applause. Ceana moved to recommit the report of the Committee on Rules and Order of Business, to ascertain if there are any serious objections to any rules to be considered. Hale, of Maine, Indicated objection to the proposition that the platform must be made before presenting candidates. Ceana said if we nominate candidates before we make our platform half of the delegates will be on their way home before the platform is presented, and there will be no proper deliberation. John T.
