INAKEIM GAZETTE SATURDAY...JUNE 24, 1876. CITY IDLERS. Some recent statements in the San Francisco Alta in regard to the great army of unemployed which congregate in that city, will afford food for reflection. The paper in question, after careful investigation, states that not only are there thousands of unemployed skilled laborers, but that there are at least five thousand idlers in that city of that class called book-keepers, salesmen clerks, accountants, etc., a larger number than in any other city of equal population. In support of this statement it gives the following facts: "Merchants, insurance offices, and business men generally, of all classes, are hampered to the verge of the grave by the presence of the classes alluded to. The Secretary of the Central Pacific Railroad, through whom all applications for that line are made, has on file in his office over four hundred applications for clerkships. Wells, Fargo & Co. are equally favored; and since the change in officials of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, Messrs. Williams, Blanchard & Company have had their works fairly stormed by this noble army of 'soft-job' men. A Kearney-street merchant recently advertised for a cashier and the mail boy of his store was frightened out of a years growth on going to the post office next morning and finding two hundred and sixty-four letters—all applications. Overfourteen hundred men made application, recently, in answer to an advertisement of Bishop & Company for canvassers for their City Directory. The old shell used for our city officers fairly LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA. [Special correspondence of the Gazette.] CENTENNIAL GROUNDS, Philadelphia, June 5th, 1876. Perched in the Wisconsin Department of Agricultural Hall, is "Old Abe," the live war eagle of the Wisconsin soldiers, now owned by the State. He was during three years in 25 great battles, and literally perched upon their regimental banners in the thickest of the battle, and victory followed wherever this bird was present, so that his presence was considered equal to one thousand men, such faith did the soldiers put in him as an omen of triumph. At the BATTLE OF CORINTH, Mississippi, Gen. Sterling Price ordered his men to take him at any hazard, saying, "I'd rather capture 'Old Abe' than a whole brigade." Though at full liberty on the march or in camp, he would always bring up at head quarters. He is famous to the whole American army, and crowds are about him daily. He is one of the best specimens of eagles I ever saw. The C. P. R. R. Co. have a lot of silk worms consuming a great quantity of mulberry leaves. The agent of that Company tells me he expects 35 boxes of articles; he has some volumes of the State Agricultural Society, some medical lectures, and also is distributing a pamphlet in which are these words: "Excepting a small railroad 20 miles long at Los Angeles, there is no railroad in the State south of Santa Clara county." It was printed in '75. It also contains amap in which neither Anaheim nor its railway appears.

Guinn suggested through the columns of the Gazette that means be taken to gather an accurate census of the population of Anaheim. He was subsequently appointed Census Marshal by the Board of Trustees of this school district, and finding that his suggestions spoken of above were not heeded, he determined to undertake the labor himself, and he has kindly furnished us with the following statistics: Number of children between 5 and 17 years of age (the basis upon which the school fund is apportioned). 329 Under 5 years of age. 131 Total number under 17. 460 About thirty of these live in that part of the district outside of the town limits. The number of children between 5 and 17, who have attended school at any time during the school year, is set down at 216. The adult population, counting all of 17 years and upwards, he reports at 827. This, added to the number under 17, gives us a total population of 1,257, an increase of over one hundred per cent. In our population, as reported by the National Census of 1870. To the often asked question, "What is the population of Anaheim?" we can now give an accurate response. For his self-imposed labor, pro bono INCUBATORS, For hatching poultry by means of heat from a coal oil lamp, with automatic heat regulator, price $90. Silver-plows and mowing machines, self-binding reapers, Mosale silver-mounted threshing machines, Chalse and Umbrella-top horse rakes, silver milking tubes, great flasks of lemon oil from Italy, pine apples, plantains, mangoes, jack fruit, co-cons, cho-cho-limes, oranges, lemons, citron, forbidden fruit, annemannie apples, sapodilla and yampees from the various tropical regions, whole hogs from tail to snout standing on all fours, smoked into bacon, are among the articles I have seen to-day in Agricultural Hall. There is lard in barrels with glass heads and silver hoops, and staves beautifully polished and varnished, rubber trees, and piles of crude rubber, machines which cut, drop, furrow for and cover potatoes, at one draught of the machine. THE DAIRY Consists of two large edifices, open on all sides, one in rustic architecture of small log trimmings, the other of modern style, carried on by the Dairymens' Co-operative Association, where ice creams, berries, pure cream,milk, buttermilk and farinaceous dishes are served by attentive young ladies. A thousand gallons of milk is consumed in one day at this place. Near the Department of Public Comfort may be seen a very pretty Swedish model school house, after the style of a Swiss chalet, brightly varished over wood in native color. East of the last named building is situated the American Kindergarten building, a small, neat building, for the purpose of illustrating the Kindergarten system of primary education, which makes school a play house, in a useful and scientific way, doing vastly more for children than the irksome old way. They are given angular blocks or square sheets of paper, taught to make a square; right, acute, or obtuse angle; with colored paper taught the true names of colors; with compasses and penell, how to describe a circle; with blocks, how to spell; taught politeness, how to march, rest when tired, to keep clean, and not to make one's self-offensive to others—in short, true womanhood and manhood. There is a CHART OF HISTORY, Twenty-two feet long and about three feet wide, arranged on rollers, to occupy little room, in seven colors, illustrating every nation, showing the origin of every colony, and when it was merged into any other government, and a great amount of information which would interest a child as quickly as the most profound scholar, and it is one of the very best Kindergarten means of teaching, which should be in every family, school and Sunday school. An eminent English scholar said to me he got more knowledge of all English history from it in half hour than in all his life by other sources; so much for the Kindergarten system. I have purchased one for the Garden Grove School. And by the way I must mention that I have received a gift of a library of 125 vol.

From the published report of six physicians we learn that the water is unfit for use, by reason of the close proximity of the wells to the slaughter-house and hog pens. They further say that "the danger incurred by the use of water even slightly contaminated by decomposing organic matter, has been again and again demonstrated by fatal epidemics, whereby thousands of human lives have been sacrificed." In view of the report, the Board of Health informs the citizens that care should be used to see that the water is well filtered, and they recommend charcoal filters as the most effectual. The San Diego Union notes the fact that 80,000 eggs formed a recent shipment from the East to San Francisco, and expresses astonishment thereof. It certainly does seem a curious case of shipping "coals to Newcastle," but not more so than shipping gum trees and rose-bushes from a San Francisco nursery to Anaheim. A box containing those plants have been in the Express office for several days addressed to an Anahelmite. GARDEN GROVE SUNDAY SCHOOL, Three and a half miles south of Anaheim, of which J. D. Chaffee Esq., late of Elgin, Illinois, is superintendent. That school, Sunday School, and church service established there, is the nucleus of one of the best communities in Southern California. Among those who have lately purchased homes there are Capt. Ware of San Francisco, and C. Hitchcock of Northern Illinois, both of whom I met on my journey hither, and I can assure the citizens of that neighborhood that in those gentlemen and their families the neighborhood has a great gain. One of the wings of the Exhibition building is occupied by a working model of the Pennsylvania oil-producing region. The operation of erecting well-derricks, drilling wells, and pumping and flowing oil wells, is illustrated, and a model oil refinery is shown, in front of which a small locomotive engine is run with an attached train of Empire Line oil cars. The visitor's attention is attracted to a curiously contrived ELEVATED RAILWAY, With an equally curious looking passenger car and engine. This railway, which spans the ravine between Horticultural Hall and German Restaurant, is known as Gentl. Roy Stone's Patent Elevated Safety Railway for cities, and is destined to solve the problem of rapid transit in large cities. The principle of this ingenious improvement is that the wheels of the car, two in number, are situated in the centre of the vehicle and running upon a single rail, much like the two-wheeled bicycle, while the body of the car originates from every colony, and when it was merged into any other government, and a great amount of information which would interest a child as quickly as the most profound scholar, and it is one of the very best Kindergarten means of teaching, which should be in every family, school and Sunday school. An eminent English scholar said to me he got more knowledge of all English history from it in one half hour than in all his life by other sources; so much for the Kindergarten system. I have purchased one for the Garden Grove School. And by the way I must mention that I have received a gift of a library of 125 volumes and 50 Sunday School papers for a year for the ELEPHE Which are said each.

The car rides very easy, is almost free from oscillation, while the cost of construction is considerably less per mile than any other system of elevated railway. THE BANKERS BUILDING. Is located south of the Main Building. It is quite a handsome structure, provided with a large public reception room, a ladies' reception room and parlor and private office, all of which are handsomely and appropriately furnished. This building was erected by contributions from the principal banks and bankers of the United States and is designed for the accommodation of financial men visiting the Centennial. The Vienna Bakery and Cafe was erected to show the workings of a compressed yeast. A. G. Cook. LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA. [Special Correspondence of the Gazette.] CENTENNIAL GROUNDS, June 8. Delegations of workmen from almost every part of the earth are investigating the various departments of interest to them, for practical information to bear to their homes, factories and workshops abroad, many having been sent here at the expense of their governments, some by their employers and others have come at their own instance to see; for "Sounds which address the car are lost, and die In one short hour that which strikes the eye Lives long upon the mind. The faithful sight Engraves the knowledge with a beam of light." Information gained through the sight is more effective, forcible, distinct and lasting; and any written description by a committee, expert or correspondent must be feeble compared with one's observation; for one on coming here will exclaim as did the QUEEN OF SHEBA. On beholding the glory of Solomon: "The half has not been told!" Here is a world of magnificent little cities, resplendent with rich and beautiful works, while music from the world's most skilled performers ravish the senses. Even fountains of perfumery shed delicate fragrance in the air of the main hall, which are used mainly by the faible and unpainted. There is an elevator, innumerable galleries where one may ascend and overlook the gay names below, while listening to music; and there are four main town, with large galleries, 95 feet in height, in the same building. During the warm days I generally go, after getting wearied with the work of the main hall, to the cascade, which is in an annex to Machinery Hall, and which I find to be a very grateful retreat. The cascade is 25 feet wide, and 40 feet fall into a great area of water. This width and fall permits of an even sheet of water being forced over the apron of a great tank, into which it is pumped, so as form a lovely cascade. Thirty-two thousand gallons of water fall over the cataract every minute into the basin, which is 160 feet long, by 60 feet wide. The pumping is done by one of the 700 pumps on exhibition. There are many others throwing fountains of various shapes. THE MACHINERY. For driving air into mines, is amusing to visitors. It throws so strong a current as to keep a ball, eight inches in diameter, suspended in the air. Another means of resting one's weary body is a thirty minutes' ride on the narrow guage railroad, around the entire grounds, by all the various buildings, stopping at each, all for the sum of five cents. This railroad is considered the best investment here. The cars are always filled. Another pleasant retreat is Rowell & Co.'s newspaper building, where all the newspapers in the United States are supposed to be received and made accessible to newspaper men. A similar building is being constructed by Campbell & Co., and should any visitor desire to find the ANAHEIM GAZETTE In Philadelphia, he can do so at both of those places. A trial by the New York Protective Fire Apparatus Company, was lately had, more successfully than by water. The apparatus was a strong boiler iron tank, capable of holding a large amount of bi-carbonate of soda. Carbonic acid gas is generated in one end, and pipes are attached to connect the apparatus with fire pipes and water plugs. Since the opening day over 700 car-loads of articles have been received and put in place on exhibition. BY TELEGRAPH. SAN FRANCISCO, June 20 FLORE—Local extrax, jobbing at $5 50@5 75.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20 About ten minutes before one o'clock this morning a fire was discovered in the upper story of the Bay Sugar Refinery, a huge seven-story brick building on the corner of Battery and Union streets. Despite the efforts of the entire Fire Department, which was concentrated on the ground, the fire spread from story to story until the whole building was a mass of flames and the destruction complete. The Refinery was owned by an incorporated company, of which Herman More was President, and had a running capacity of 12,900 tons. The loss is about $850,000, insured for $225,000. The building was considerably damaged by fire several months ago. The fire patrol spread their canvas to protect the goods, but the rapid spread of the flames rendered their efforts fruitless, and a number of coolers were obliged to be abandoned. While attempting to get a stream in at the upper window, the chains of a ladder gave way, and several firemen were precipitated to the ground, but they sustained no very serious injury. Matthew Banchee,'twenty-four years of age, employed as master at the National Brewery, corner of Fulton and Webster streets, fell through the hatchway from the third floor to the basement, twenty-four feet, and was instantly killed. SAN FRANCISCO, June 19 A rather serious accident occurred on the Sutter Street Railroad this afternoon, by the breaking of a carbrake Information gained through the sight is more effective, forcible, distinct and lasting; and any written description by a committee, expert or correspondent must be feeble compared with one's observation; for one on coming here will exclaim as did the QUEEN OF SHEBA On beholding the glory of Solomon: "The half has not been told!" Here is a world of magnificent little cities, resplendent with rich and beautiful works, while music from the world's most skilled performers ravish the senses. Even fountains of perfumery shed delicate fragrance in the air of Main Hall, in which one may wander through endless labyrinths of beauty, gorgeous tapestries, jewels, cunning devices, fine arts—ornate in the highest degree, wonderful in use, design, combination and effect, losing gradually the fullness of Gilmore's band of thirty instruments, until all is merged in the deafening tune of the gigantic organ, played by electricity, or to a greater distance where only the sweet chimbs of bells are heard above the buzz of the human sea. In the special department of RHODODENDRONS, Where every hue and delicate shade of those flowers were in fullness of bloom, it was an entertainment to see the estacy of human nature. White-headed old scientists would exclaim: "Now let thy servant depart in peace." Staunach old Quaker mothers would throw up both hands and say: "Now let me faint," "Let me alone," while Elegant! Oh my! Well I never! Ahne! Aw!! were the commonplaces on beholding such rare beauty. It is as though the roof was the sky, and one were in the bazaars of Constantinople, seeking virtu in the olivewood memoirs of the Holy Land, from the red-robed turbaned Turk, who, affirming the Minaret and denying the cross, has come to the Christian exhibit with his Cafe, Moka, Dondourma, Loukoum and Chibouk.

And so on I wandered, now on Regent Street, London, examining Mosaics, royal robes, and the Graphic office, now across to the streets of Madrid on Berlin and Stockholm, through Norway, on to Nova Scotia, Bahama's semi-tropical land, the South Sea Islands, up to India's coral strand, midst cashmeres, cotton, jute and Royal Bengal tiger robes, then access to Africa, and here I sit down to rest beneath an archway of ELEPHANT TUSKS Which are said to weigh 250 pounds each. At any ratio they are of solid ivory and of enormous size. Ancient mosaics, from the ruins of Carthage are in the Turkish part. One of the guard ANAHEIM GAZETTE In Philadelphia, he can do so at both of those places. A trial by the New York Protective Fire Apparatus Company, was lately had, more successfully than by water.

In 1842 the process of EXTRACTING STARCH From Indian corn was invented and now it is an immense business carried on with great profit in Illinois, New York, Canada, and I don't know how many other places. One establishment represented here is manufacturing 35 tons a day which is shipped all over the world and is a regular article of commerce. Might this not be a good business in which to dispose of our immense corn crops? A. G. Cook. A Tree With a Tragic History. A madrona tree which stood on the slope of a hill near the eastern spur of Lone Mountain, San Francisco, fell recently, probably from old age. It was noted in early days as the scene of a tragedy. A Frenchman lodged beneath its branches in a hut made of thatch. He was a hermit. No one was allowed to enter his dwelling, and remote as it was, few ever solicited an entrance. A schooner named the Jane Stearns was cast away in June, 1851; near the Heads. Three men who survived, scrambled over the hills, and chanced upon the Frenchman's butt, asked for shelter. It was refused. They paid no heed to the refusal, but advanced. The Frenchman stood at his door with a double-barreled gun. One of the sailors attempted to disarm him. He fired; the sailor fell dead. He was about to fire again when the remaining sailors rushed upon him, and shot him through the heart. They then plundered the hut and set it a fire. A few days served to obliterate all traces of the crime, the sands blowing over the spot in long wreathes and burying the bones of the ill-fated hermit deep beneath them. His fate was a mystery for several years. One of the sailors, however, being arrested for horse-thieving in Tulare, and compelled to "climb a tree," revealed the facts here given. The scathed and blackened appearance of the tree confirmed the story, all doubt being subsequently set at rest by the discovery of the charred remains of the unfortunate recluse near the foot of the madrona. IRISH WHISKY.—Irish and especially Dublin whisky, when genuine, is prepared in old-fashioned stills called "pot" stills, by the distillation of a mash made partly from malted and partly from unmalted barley. The process of distillation is so managed as to bring over a product of a proper fineness, loaded with only so much essential oil as will undergo the desired tempting to get a stream in at the upper window, the chains of a ladder gave way, and several firemen were precipitated to the ground, but they sustained no very serious injury. Matthew Banchee,' twenty-four years of age, employed as master at the National Brewery, corner of Fulton and Webster streets, fell through the batchway from the third floor to the basement, twenty-four feet, and was instantly killed. SAN FRANCISCO, June 19 A rather serious accident occurred on the Sutter Street Railroad this afternoon, by the breaking of a carbrake while going down a steep grade. The driver cleared the horses from the car which ran down the hill. Two ladies who were in the car tried to jump off,and one Mrs. Durant received a severe concussion of the brain and other injuries which are likely to prove fatal. WASHINGTON, June 19. It is believed that other important changes will follow the retirement of Bristow, though this may in a measure depend upon whom the new incumbent shall be: Treasurer New will certainly retire by the end of the fiscal year. Assistant Treasurer Wyman may possibly succeed Mr. New, he having been favorably mentioned by the President. Grant's letter in reply to Bristow's letter of resignation, written to-day, accepts his resignation with expressions of hope that in his retirement from public office he will find that rest which he could not have in his present position, and desiring that the personal relations between them shall remain in their present pleasant attitude. WASHINGTON, June 19. In the Senate to-day, Howe, from the committee on Judiciary, reported adversely on the bill relating to the equitable and legal rights of parties in possession of certain lands and improvements thereon in California,and to provide jurisdiction to determine those rights. The bill is a measure introduced by Sargent last March authorizingthe former occupants of Point San Jose Military Reservation to bring suit against the United States in the Court of Claims for the value of their lands and impovements at the date of military occupation. At request of Sargent,the bill instead of being indefinitely postponed.as recommended by the committee was placed on the calendar with adverse report,and is therefore still a subject for consideration. WASHINGTON, June 19. Sherman introduced a bill into the Senate to-day describing coins-of the United States. The bill proviles that three dollars pieces and twenty-cent pieces shall not bereafter be coined. Senator Sargent, of California,presented a memorial of the citizens of Los Angeles county,California,setting forththe evilof Chinese immigration,and favoring such action by Congressaswill preventthe same.Refereredtothe CommitteeonForeign Relations.

At any rate they are of solid ivory and of enormous size. Ancient mosaics, from the ruins of Carthage are in the Tunisian part. One of the guard was asked by a visitor where the Tunis building was. He replied "he did not know; what is Tunis?" On being informed it was near Morocco, replied "O, then you had better go to the shoe and leather building!" Tunis has a cafe and tambourine music among the separate buildings. Many amusing things come up daily: SUNSET COX, The other day, asked a sovereign, who, like himself, was gazing at the great Corlis Engine, what horse-power it was. His reply was, "It is no horsepower; it is run by steam." Arfbs, Groeks, French and Germans are in charge of Egypt's department. There is a beautiful saddle, of red velvet and gold trimmings, with a pillion in the rear; a very convenient way for a man and his wife or daughter to ride on a large horse. There are grave stones four thousand years old, containing some unknown inscriptions, grim mummies, rude methods of irrigation. Cairo is pictured on a very level country. I notice some ayen-more wood very finely polished. There are ancient filters, water pots, models of ruins, spices, cotton fabrics, and an ebony secretary inlaid with ivory, valued at $4,000. I see to-day troops of children who have come in for the first time, at 25 cents—half price. The average attendance now is about 40,000 daily; and the order is the very best, and now, in my five weeks attendance, I have not seen a single person who seemed to be under the influence of liquor, and I have not seen a single arrest, but there seems to be COUNTRY AND GOOD CONDUCT On every hand and such being the fact, one-third of the police force has been dismissed. There are 200 roller chains in use in IRISH WHISKY. — Irish and especially Dublin whisky, when genuine, is prepared in old-fashioned stills called "pot" stills, by the distillation of a mash made partly from malted and partly from unmalted barley. The process of distillation is so managed as to bring over a product of a proper fineness, loaded with only so much essential oil as will undergo the desired changes within a reasonable time; and the new spirit is then stored in old aberry casks, from which it derives some additional flavor, and also its well known yellowish tint—all distilled spirits being originally colorless—and it is kept in bond generally for about three years. By the end of that time, the fusel oil which it once contained has undergone conversion into other compounds, and the result—the real Dublin whisky—is a spirit singularly free from any tendency to produce acidity, and flavored; in a manner highly esteemed by connoisseurs, by the products of the gradual and spontaneous decomposition of its fusel oil, which, although itself noxious, is ultimately replaced by essence of a harmless character. From whisky made and treated as described, the bulk of the fusel oil generally disappears in about twelve months, although the spirit continues to undergo beneficial changes for a much longer period of time. POTATO PUFFER. — Take cold roast meat, either beef, mutton, or veal and ham, and clear it from gristle, chop small, and season with pepper, salt and pickles. Boil and mash some potatoes, and make them into a paste with one or two eggs; roll it out with a dust of flour, cut it round with a saver; put some of your seasoned meat on one-half and fold it over like a puff; pick or nib it neatly round, and fry it a light brown.

Senator Sargent, of California, presented a memorial of the citizens of Los Angeles county, California, setting forth the evil of Chinese immigration, and favoring such action by Congress as will prevent the same. Referrenced to the Committee on Foreign Relations. LONDON, June 19. The Mark Lane Express says: Concurrent with the improvement in the aspect of crops, anxiety about political matters has dropped. The market has consequently relapsed into a state of calm, and with large supplies from American and Russian trade, has been confined to supplying present requirements. As the summer approaches the market will be to a great extent subject to the influence of the weather, but there does not seem to be much probability that the price of wheat will vary to any marked extent, and in the absence of speculation it is probable that the wants of millions must form the basis of future transactions. The general tone of trade has been quiet, and very little inclination is shown to operate for future delivery, quotations remaining nearly nominal. SAN FRANCISCO, June 21. It is a common report among prominent Democratic politicians of this city that General Hancock, of Ohio, and Judge Hager, of California, will be candidates for the nomination of President and Vice-President of the United States in the Democratic convention at St. Louis.

NEW YORK, June 20. Vanderbilt is very weak and suffers great pain. He is very fearful that his condition is less favorable than two days ago. A Washington special says that it is very probable that the St. Louis Convention will adopt the currency plank of the Cincinnati Convention. If they do this the currency question will be hardly likely to enter into the canvass. The Democrats will also adopt the same plank as the Cincinnati Convention concerning the granting of money to religious corporations, and thus rob the Republicans of their strongest thunder. The World's Washington dispatch says that several Democratic Congressmen have gone to St. Louis, and more will follow during the next four days. CONCORD, N. H., June 20. The Senatorial election took place at noon to-day, and resulted in the election of E. H. Rollins, Republican, on the first ballot, in both branches of the Legislature. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 20.

The fields and islands are entirely submerged from six to ten feet. WASHINGTON, June 20. General Grant made a speech last night endorsing Hayes and Wheeler. The serenaders from the ratification meeting at the City Hall, after paying Blaine the compliment of a visit, directed their course to the White House, on the balcony of which the President soon appeared in response to the music of the Marine Band and the cheers of the crowd. When opportunity was offered him by the first lull in the music, he said: "Gentlemen: After all the speaking you and I have listened to to-night, (for I was with you at your ratification meeting), you cannot wish, even if I were a speaker, to hear anything from me, but I cannot withhold my approval of the excellent ticket given you by the National Republican Convention at Cincinnati—a ticket that should require the careful support. Augus. The governor has drawn up a thorough-Chinese plant for the St. Louis Convention, which will obtain the support of these gentlemen. Roach left Albany yesterday for Cincinnati. Nathan D.

WASHINGTON, June 21. Morrill has not yet accepted. He told his friends to-night he will not decided whether he would accept or not; but if he does it won't take place until after the Appropriation bills have passed. The commission of Merrill, as Secretary of the Treasury, was signed by the President this afternoon. This is noted as being one of the quickest Executive actions of the character that has ever been commenced. Morris have been following each other in fast succession to-day regarding further Treasury changes, resignations and new appointments. It has been frequently mentioned that Assistant Secretary Burnham and Conant were both reported as having resigned, but inquiry shows that the reports are without foundation. Equally untrue was the report that Commissioner Fratt had resigned. It is thought here that Blaine will be appointed to fill Morrill's unexpected term in the Senate if he will accept. In the Senate to-day, Bogy, from the Committee on Private Land Claims, reported adversely on the Senate bill for the relief of settlers on certain lands in Ventura county, Cal., and it was indefinitely postponed.

Treasurer New has written a letter of resignation, to take effect from July 1st, and will hand it to the President to-day. Bluford Wilson, Solicitor of the Treasury Department, sent in his resignation to-day, to take effect July 1st. WASHINGTON, June 20. There is a report in circulation among a few Senators, and apparently authenticated, that the President has tendered the place of Secretary of the Treasury to Senator Morrill, of Maine, and that the latter now has the matter under consideration. Morrill will neither affirm or deny the correctness of the report, and it is believed to be true. The President to-day nominated James A. Williamson, of Iowa, as Commissioner of the General Land Office; and James Davis as agent of the Indians of the Southern Apache Agency, in New Mexico. NEW YORK, June 20. The Tribune's Washington correspondent drays a startling picture of what may be the result of the appropriation bills not being finally passed by both Houses in less than ten days. The features are that our Ministers and Consuls will be recalled, the army annihilated, and the postal service stopped. A Times Washington dispatch says the Banking Committee will probably agree to report Goode's bill, which repeals so much of the Specie Resumption Act as requires the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem in coin on and after January 1st, 1879, United States legal tender notes outstanding, on their presentation for redemption, and also so much of the same Act as authorizes the use of any surplus revenue or the sale or disposal of any bonds to provide for such redemption. Payne has prepared a second section, which will also be reported, providing for the setting aside by the Government of fifteen millions in coin annually, as a resumption fund. This section will be resisted by the soft-money men. HARTFORD, Conn., June 20. The House of Representatives to-day passed, by a vote of 106 to 70, the bill allowing women over twenty-one years of age who hold property to the PHILADELPHIA, June 21.

B. Axtel, Governor of New Mexico. Mr. Williams' remarks were confined chiefly to history of the hall, and the difficulties political and financial; attendant upon its erection. After the speeches the audience was invited to a collation, at which various brands of California wine flowed freely. A quantity of California products will be displayed there in a few days. The building was erected entirely by private subscriptions. WASHINGTON, June 22. Col. John S. Mosby authorizes the statement that he will support the ticket of Hayes and Wheeler, and all Conservative men of Virginia, he thinks, who desire peace and reconciliation, and who see that no good can come out of the Democratic party, will do the same. Mr. Coville's Treasuries. Mr. Coville has got but one apple tree, but it is a good one. It has hung full of blossoms, and in the past week has been a very beautiful ornament in his little yard. We do think apple blossoms the sweetest flowers ever created. On Mr. Coville's tree worms have made a huge and unsightly nest. It was not only an objectionable shadow upon the glory of the foliage, but it threatened to cover the tree with an enemy that would destroy the fruit, and make its place loathsome with their bodies. Mr. Coville learned that only sure way of getting rid of the nest was to burn it away. This was to be done with a lighted bunch of rags saturated with camphene, and tied to the end of a pole so as to be applied to the nest. It was on Friday evening that Mr. Coville did this business. His wife helped him. He put a barrel under the tree to stand on, as he did not have a pole long enough to reach the nest from the ground. He tied a lot of rags on the end of a stick, and dipped the mass into a basin of camphene, and then touched off a match, and applied the ball of flame to the nest. High as he was from the ground, still he had to stand well up on his toes to make the remedy effective. But Mr. Coville did not mind that at all because the flame was doing the work most beautifully. "That'll sizzle 'em by gracious," he shouted down to his wife, who stood by him while his eyes were riveted on the devastation above his head. "Wah, ooh! ooh!" suddenly rent the air above the apple tree, and before the startled woman could comprehend LONDON, June 19. The Express says: Conimprovement in the anxiety about political uppead.

At a meeting of soldiers and sailors of the Union, held last evening, a letter was read from the Department of the Interior, relative to the land open for settlement and the power of obtaining such.

Senator Roach also Interviewed Manton Marble and the editors of the Albany Wah, ooh! ooh!" suddenly rent the air above the apple tree, and before the startled woman could comprehend from whence came the drunken say, she received a blow on the head from a ball of burning rags, and went down like a flash, striking the ground in time to see her husband descend seat first, on a similar ball of flame, and rise again as if called up by an unseen but irresistible power. It was all explained in a minute, while Mr. Coville sat in a large dish of cold water. It appears that a drop of the lighted camphene fell from the ball and struck Mr. Coville on the chin, just as he was in the very climax of enthusiasm, when every nerve seemed stretched to its utmost tension in fond anticipation of the most gratifying results. The shock was too great for his nervous system to withstand. The barrel went over in that carefully unexpected way which a barrel has of going over, and in the descent of his person Mr. Coville fetched his wife a wipe over the head with his fireworks. As foreble as it was unintended, and wound up the performance by sitting abruptly and inexplicably down upon the illumination itself. Mrs. Coville lost some hair and was scorched on one ear, and Mr. Coville has had to have an entirely new bag put on his pants, but the barrel was not injured in the least, and the torch is about as good as now. If anyone cares to use it—Danbury News. Schools to teach girls plain needle work are proposed in New York. It is needless to say that the success of such schools will prove only new-news. The editor of the Indianapolis Herald tells about a girl so "insulted" as to nearly faint when addressed by a gentleman, but who required no pressing to sit at the plane and sing. "Somebody's watching us," pull down the blinds."
