Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...AUGUST 12, 1876. A SANITARY MEASURE. Small pox is gently stirring around us and dealing its horrible blows where least expected. The very name of this loathsome disease makes one shiver and shrink, and we need only ask our readers to picture one dear to them, one of their circle, stricken down by this malignant foe, to put them on the quil vire. The effect of the continued heat upon garbage of all kinds is a most potent means for the creation of misma. Misma, again, is a very potent ally to all classes of infectious diseases. Now, it is a disagreeable fact that there is an abundance of garbage of all kinds scattered around our settlement, which should be destroyed. It is not uncommon, when taking an evening pasea, to come around the corner and strike an effluvia sufficient to stagger the ordinary man. It is an unpleasant, unwholesome fact that our Chinese quarters are veritable pest holes, rather than decent habitations. Our town is free from pestilence at present; let us keep it so. If it is possible for anything to be done, let us do it. Let one and all unite in giving their premises a thorough overhauling and cleaning, and effect a removal and destruction of all garbage. It can do no possible harm; the good it may do is incalculable. Let no one hang back for his neighbor to begin; such a policy is contemptible. The thanks of the community will be due to those who take the initiative, and who, by their example, which is better than precept, teach a lesson to the sluggard. Since the above was in type, we find the following in the San Francisco Call, of Thursday. It is apropos, and bears out our position fully: CLIMATIC. EDS. GAZETTE:—In looking over the journals from all parts of the East, we find accounts of the intense heat, thunder storms and hurricanes in divers places, as well as great mortality from sun-stroke and various diseases directly caused by this dreadful "spell of weather." It is refreshing, therefore, to take up the GAZETTE and read an article like the one a week ago, headed "Climatic." It is worth while to let people know that there is a spot, even in this heated term, where one can be comfortable. But you will be quite surprised, Messrs. Editors, at the difference of temperature to be found even in an hour's drive from your cool town. While you are hardly conscious of the heat in the middle of the day, so soon does it become cool, we having six or eight hours each day when the thermometer ranges from 80° to 90°, and often higher. We not only get thoroughly warmed up but nearly done brown. And then the "peaceful" sleep you get o' nights! The Anahelmer has but to wrap the drapery about him and lie down to pleasant dreams. But alas for us! The mosquitoes—for there are mosquitoes here—are as nothing compared with their nimble allies, and leave the field early to them. It is quite plain that you would not talk of sleeping peacefully (?) if you were obliged to be up, in the wee sma' hour, drapery turned inside out and with moistened finger, carefully examining seam, gusset and band, especially seam, for that wicked flea—which man is able long to pursue and rarely to ensnare. Truly, your lines have fallen in pleasant places, and every stranger who can do so, should immediately strike for Anahelmer while there is room. ELSIE. With heart overflowing with sympathy for the disconsolate Elsie, whose touching description of her woes has well nigh driven us to distraction, we hasten to point out to her the simplest methods of avoiding the attacks of fleas and mosquitoes.

The thanks of the community will be due to those who take the initiative, and who, by their example, which is better than precept, teach a lesson to the sluggard. Since the above was in type, we find the following in the San Francisco Call, of Thursday. It is apropos, and bears out our position fully: Supervisor Eaton, Chairman of the Committee on Health and Police, has addressed a letter to the Chief of Police, in which he asks that official, in view of the prevailing epidemic, to instruct all the police officers to examine all premises on their respective beats, and see that they are in a good sanitary condition, and to notify all occupants of houses to have removed all filth, garbage and rubbish. In accordance with the tenor of the letter, orders have been issued to the officers. TRANSPORTATION. "It never rains but it pours," says the adage, and now it appears we are to be blessed with unlimited transportation. Scarcely have we begun to hope for the extension of the Los Angeles & Independence Railroad, ere in a mysterious manner and in sepulchral tones we are informed that Goodall, Nelson & Co. are about to build a wharf at the Landing, and that Reese and a few friends are to construct us a first-class narrow gauge road to connect therewith. We glow with satisfaction. This weather finds glowing very easy, but we repeat, we glow with satisfaction at the prospects ahead. We imagine ourselves seated in our easy chair deliberating as to whether to take the 7 A.M. by the Southern Pacific, or the 8:30 by the Independence, or to run down to the Landing by the 9. Glorious future awaiting us! Seriously, however, a gentle rumor did reach us to this effect, and glad indeed shall we be if it prove true. To railroads and wharves we can with every confidence say, Come one, come all. BELKNAP's acquittal adds another to the long list of judicial fares connected with attempts to punish official dishonesty in this country. It is remarkable how easy it is for a prisoner to obtain the ablest counsel in the country, and to avail himself of every quibble of the law and every trick in criminal jurisprudence,' when we see that Governments, National, State County or city appear to be quite unable even to obtain the services of a shyster competent enough to With heart overflowing with sympathy for the disconsolate Elsie, whose touching description of her woes has well nigh driven us to distraction, we hasten to point out to her the simplest methods of avoiding the attacks of fleas and mosquitoes. The lively flea is undoubtedly a denizen of this vicinity, he seeming to take especial pleasure in the rich, warm sand-that is scattered promiscuously about. And we trust we shall not shock our gentle correspondent if we say that we doubt not her tender young flesh offers a tempting bait to the enterprising rascal. We therefore suggest to the fair damsel the following course of procedure to repel his insidious attack: When walking, do not trail skirts through the sand, but, like a sensible girl, hold them clear of the ground. She will thus find the number imported into her room very greatly diminished. And, since a flea hates clean livers, we prescribe a bath every morning or evening, according to taste. To rid one's self of the present incumbents is a simple matter, it needing only the thorough use of flea powder (obtainable at any drug store), together with repeated changes of underclothing for a few days. Follow this course and mark the change, O, Gentle Elsie! For the extermination of our old and respected friend, the mosquito, we suggest the following treatment: First, a thorough system of mosquito bar, barring windows, transom and bed. Never leave the bed-room door open, it being an unnecessary proceeding and a means of letting the festive mosquito in. Having thus taken due precautions to prevent the ingress of these pets, it is but a simple matter to get rid of those already installed in our beauty's chamber. Close the door and windows, plug the key-hole, making all almost air-tight; take a handful of flea-powder, place it in a tin dish or plate on the floor in the centre of the room. Light the powder and leave the room tightly closed for six hours. We guarantee that at the end of that time not a festive mosquito will be visible or feelable or hearable. We have tried these expedients with success, and hasten to lay them before Elsie, for suffering beauty is a sight that rends our hearts and dims our otherwise star-like eyes with tears. We congratulate our neighbors from across the river upon the excellent places, and every stranger who can do so should immediately strike for Anabeim while there is room. ELSIE.

It is remarkable how easy it is for a prisoner to obtain the ablest counsel in the country, and to avail himself of every quibble of the law and every trick in criminal jurisprudence, when we see that Governments, National, State, County or city appear to be quite unable even to obtain the services of a shyster competent enough to frame an indictment. Is it that Government law officers are fools, or regress or both? Or, is it that American law in this crystallized age of progress is framed expressly to shelter the criminal and baffle justice? The fact remains, however, that private individuals, by the employment of their own funds, and additional counsel to aid the State and other officials, can and do secure punishment to the guilty. This would lead us to infer that the first stated—but we forbear from following the subject any further. We yesterday published an item from the Republican stating that they were informed the L. A. & I. R. R. had been sold to Jay Gould, who would forthwith proceed to extend it to Hunt Lake. We should be pleased to hear what has been done by the committee appointed to confer with the managers of the Independence road as to the feasibility of locating a depot here. This matter is moving rapidly, and Anaheim must stir up and keep pace. If Jones has sold out, let us know it, and transfer our attention to Gould. But let prompt action be the rule. No shilly-shallying, no more talk. Every one is satisfied as to the advantages and necessities of the case. Let us, therefore, not a moment in endeavoring to secure the prize. We shall, we repeat, be glad to hear what has been the result of the committee's labor. Light the powder and leave the room tightly closed for six hours. We guarantee that at the end of that time not a festive mosquito will be visible or feelable or hearable. We have tried these expedients with success, and hasten to lay them before Elale, for suffering beauty is a sight that rends our hearts and dims our otherwise star-like eyes with tears. We congratulate our neighbors from across the river upon the excellent turn-out they made on the occasion of the Hayes and Wheeler Rally. It showed how thoroughly they could organize at a moment's notice, to forward any movement they approve of. No petty jealousies are allowed to interfere. Orange and Santa Ana, Tustin and Newport join hands, losing sight of everything but the object in view. We honor men who can act so. We wot of a town not a thousand miles away, that could no more attempt to carry out such a movement than we could to pluck the sun from the heavens. The question is why? Shall we answer it? We will. Petty jealousy, paltry little sectional strife, penny wise and pound foolish economy, National and society jealousy, and a thousand other personal issues, have bereft the people of their judgment as a body. We thank Heaven that the people of Anaheim last evening saw and admired unity, and many a vow was registered to follow suit in the same direction. There are some vital issues before the people of Anaheim just now, and when they feel disposed to wrangle, we ask them to think of that procession and pause awhile. The seed of sunflowers is the most healthy feed that can be given to horses in Winter and Spring; half a plant a day keeps them in health and spirited, with sleak coats, and more animated than any other feed.

It is one of the most interesting features of the exhibition to notice the people who throng its alley. As we sit listening to the music, the multitude bent on discovery, hurries by. Friendly groups, where father is calling mother's attention to this and that wonder, and both are trying to instruct the children as to the meaning of this exhibit, or the use of that article, and both are not a little employed in keeping the youngsters from wandering away and being lost in the maze of show-cases, piles of goods—beautiful things innumerable. Then the sweetly oblivious couple slowly meander along, seeing more in each other than in the vast hive of industry through which they are passing. Sometimes the noble youth will provide for his dulcetana a rolling chair, and dispensing with the service of the UNIFORMED ATTENDANT. Will himself wheel the fair one. Such an arrangement seems delightfully convenient, for the faithful swain must needs listen to the questions and remarks, and also make suitable reply, all of which calls for a very proper contiguity, and the rolling chair almost carries two. But of all specimens of lazy genus homo, none seem so decidedly absorb than to see a great stalwart youth on one of these rolling chairs, and a little slim, uniformed man behind pushing him about. Of course it is the privilege of independent Young America to ride or walk as he pleases, but this right could not prevent the seeming silliness of what one was almost led to believe was merely a putting on of certain snobby airs. On the other hand, when feeble people, when weakly men and delicate women, when two or three little people appeared as patrons of these rolling comforts, a sense of the fitness of things was at once apparent, and for their sake, we can all bless the QUICK WITTED WOMAN.

The firm who had them on exhibition had just finished mounting them in braces, necklaces, etc. But the stones themselves are beyond comparison. The subjects were mostly from mythology. There were, however, some portraits, and some more modern poetical ideas represented. The carving was most perfect indeed, so delicate as to bear inspection under the strongest magnifying glass. The coarse specimens, which form the usual article in trade in our jewelry stores, seem utterworthless beside these elaborate specimens of cameo cutting. The question in my mind was, what could this one woman do with such a quantity of cameo jewelry? Perhaps this idiot impertinent question, so with thanks that she consented to place the collection in the Centennial, we will leave her to do as she pleases. All aboard for the ELEVATOR. Some one abouts, so investing a dime, we take a seat in the car on this perpendicular railroad. Soon we begin the slow ascent. As we peer out of the windows of the car, the interior of the main building is spread out before our view. The scene is like fairy land. The beauty of the various groups stands out as a picture in the distance, and the people seem like pilgrims marching back and forth before a chosen shrine. As we go higher, the visitors seem to grow smaller, and before they are lost to our sight they seem more like bees in a hive than men and women. But on we go up, up, one hundred—two hundred feet, and stepping out of our car, we ascend a flight of steps to the broad platform on the highest part of the building. The panorama spread before us is superb. Language fails to picture the scene. At our feet is the great Centennial. The winding paths, the innumerable buildings, the people crawling about almost like specks, the drive of BELMONT PARK, The groves which add so much to its beauty. The renowned Fairmount Water Works, the quiet Schuylkill separating the city from its western suburbs, and then, far to the East, the mighty metropolis itself—its streets, its houses, its public edifices, its churches with steeples pointing heavenward, the smoky haze hanging over it all and the noisy hum of business coming like a cullion ground. BY TELEGARPH EXNA, Cal., August 6. There was a fearful tragedy herehis afternoon about 6 o'clock. As the wife of A. Emery was eating supper at the Elna House, her husband entered the reading room, appearing very much excited. He walked directly through into the dining room to the table where his wife was seated; without saying a word, he drew a self-coaching revolver and shot her in the right side. He turned immediately and shot himself, the ball entering a little below the heart. His wife is not considered dangerously wounded, while his wound is mortal. The parties had not been married but a weak, and no cause is assigned for the act. NEW YORK, August 5. The Tribune says of Tilden's letter that his main points are reform in public expenditures, the condition of the South, resumption and civil services reform. It would be idle to deny that on these points his positions are for the most part strongly put and ably sustained. With much that he says under each head, a large majority of his political opponents will agree. His remarks on the necessity of all the reforms referred to will meet universal approval. Hendricks' letter, on the contrary, is classed by the Tribune as a narrow, offensive party document. The Times compares Tilden's letter with that of Hayes unfavorably to the former. The World praises the letter heartily for its vigor, weight, forwardness, practicability and unaffected tone. The Herald thinks that both are able and discreet documents. The country will regret, though that they had no condemnation for the Hamburg outrages. The Sun says that on the whole and in every respect, Tilden's letter of acceptance is a document worthy of the genuine reformer and invigorating to the cause of reform. It will increase the public respect for his statesmanship, and public confidence in his purpose, and will greatly strengthen his prospects as a reform Democratic candidate for President." In respect to Hendricks's letter, we have but time to say that it puts an end to the absurd stories that have been circulated about the irreconcilable differences of opinion between him and Tilden. certain anobby airs. On the other hand, when feeble people, when weakly men and delicate women, when two or three little people appeared as patrons of these rolling comforts, a sense of the fitness of things was at once apparent, and for their sakes, we can all bless the QUICK WITTED WOMAN Who invented the curious car, and who so greatly contributed to the comfort of those to whom otherwise to have seen the Exhibition would have been impossible. One cannot fall to be impressed with the uniform appearance of intelligence and thrift as shown in the representatives of the American people. It is no wonder that a German visitor asked if we had no common people, for there were no common folk there; but all were American citizens, which means intelligence, virtue and uprightness. Those people about whom the papers speak when giving reports of police courts, of investigations in legislative balls, etc., are the excrescences of American life. The grand and superior rank and file appear in the fine specimens of manhood and womanhood which grace our great Centennial. But we must not sit here moralizing, or we won't get through the Exhibition. The next object of special interest is the SILVER WORK, From our own manufactories and from England. A London firm (Messrs. Elkington & Co.) presented the best exhibit in this line from any foreign country. Their cases were arranged, as were those of most of the exhibitions of silver ware, so that one could see the valuable contents from both sides. The interior formed a small room, carpeted and very attractive. The specimens exhibited by this firm were mostly in beaten silver work—shields, vases, cups, pitchers of most beautiful and elegant design. Two articles were of particular interest—the Helicorn Vase and the Milton Shield. These were in solid silver, and contained figures representing mythological events. They had also beautiful specimens of what is called danascene work, first introduced in the twelfth century. This peculiar work consists of patterns of gold or silver wire imbedded in iron or bronze. It is said that the articles shown by this firm are valued at one-quarter of a million in our coin. Our own manufacturers were not behind their English compere. THE GORHAM MANUFACTURING COMPANY, Reed & Barter and Tiffany & Co., and others made most splendid displays. The first named house deserves special notice in the richness as well as in the extent of its exhibit. In the matter of silver work, our American designers are showing themselves to be true artists. The designs in solid silver were closely imitated in plated ware. In this line quite as much beauty appears as in the other. The quality of goods and the variety of patterns seem to increase yearly. The number of different articles made for table use, for mantle and side-board ornaments are almost innumerable. To most of us the use of many quaint dishes, cups, ladles, knives, etc., would cause a question. I am sure there At our feet is the great Centennial. The winding paths, the innumerable buildings, the people crawling about almost like specks, the drive of BELMONT PARK, The groves which add so much to its beauty. The renowned Fairmount Water Works, the quiet Schuylkill separating the city from its western suburbs, and then, far to the East, the mighty metropolis itself—its streets, its houses, its public edifices, its churches with steeples pointing heavenward, the smoky haze hanging over it all and the noisy hum of business coming like a sullen growl of some wild beast—all told us of an individualism, of a power and of an activity one can hardly realize when thinking of a city, but which one cannot help feeling when looking upon its magnitude from such a lookout. It is so breezy and cool, the view so much of a good thing, and so it has chanting, that we will sit awhile and rest. Adleu, J.M.A. "PRO BONO PUBLICO." Eds. GAZETTE. After a long silence the writer desires to say a few words to your constituents—first a word of commendation. With feelings of great joy the writer learns that the young people of Anaheim have taken up a course of sensible improvement. The organization and successful inauguration of the Lyceum is a matter reflecting great honor on those who initiated the movement and especially upon those who have responded to the call and are so eloquently and so faithfully sustaining the plan. This is one of the very best enterprises that has ever been started in Anaheim. And for it the writer desires to make a strong appeal to everybody who is in favor of intelligence, purity, growth and of the innocent occupation of the time of our young people. This society must be sustained. The enthusiasm manifested on the part of the young folks makes it hardly needful to urge zeal in this direction, but a word may be said in the direction of perseverance. As months go by, the work and wear of such a society will drop down from the novel to the solid and level plane of real business. Let everyone who goes into this society join it determined to stick to it and work for it, until it attains a maturity which shall insure its perpetual. And also, let any who has not yet united, come forward and add their influence. There is no knowing but some bashful fellow may develop into a fair writer or orator, or some malden discover that she has talent for composition, for reading and even for debate, of which she little dreamed. Nothing will bring this out so quickly as a trial. In order, however, to any permanence, the financial plans of the society must be sustained. Its plan to open a free reading room and in a few months to gather the beginnings of a library, should be cordially sustained by ever father and mother, by every Christian man, and by every individual in the place who desires the advancement of our youth in all those higher departments of thought that elevates them above being mere machines on animals. The Sun says, that on the whole and in every respect, Tilden's letter of acceptance is a document worthy of the genuine reformer and invigorating to the cause of reform. It will increase the public respect for his statesmanship, and public confidence in his purpose, and will greatly strengthen his prospects as a reform Democratic candidate for President.$^2$ In respect to Hendricks's letter, we have but time to say that it puts an end to the absurd stories that have been circulated about the irreconcilable differences of opinion between him and Tilden. It sustains the principle position of Tilden, and lead us to believe that they are thoroughly in co-operation respecting all great measures of public policy now before the country. WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. The Committee on Expenditures in the Department of Justice made a majority and minority report to-day. The majority report recommends the reduction of the Judiciary fund to two and a half million dollars, and that Davenport, the Supervisor of Elections in New York, has not accounted for $34,000 given him from the Ku-Klux fund, and that the President and two Attorney Generals, Ackerman and Williams, supplied Davenport with the $34,000 diverted it from its proper use to one entirely foreign to the objects of the law. It recommended, therefore, that the office of Supervisor of Elections be abolished, and that the election laws of Congress be repealed, that a strict account be made out of the Ku-Klux fund; and that no part of it be used in the machinery of elections; that the Attorney General take the necessary steps to recover the $34,000 unaccounted for; and that no person be allowed to hold more than one office under the United States Government. The minority report says that the majority report is merely a campaign document. It defends Davenport's claims and says that instead of censure Ackerman, Williams and Davenport are entitled to praise. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8. Twenty-six Chinese lepers will be sent to China on the Sumatra, which has been chartered to take home some 400 Chinese paupers. Michael Welch, the first mate of the steamer Ancon at the time of the robbery of the gold bars, which took place a few weeks ago on that steamer, was arrested this morning charged with the robbery, which he finally confessed. About $1,200, the proceeds of the sale of bullion, were found in his possession. INDIANAPOLIS, August 7. Gen. Ben Harrison, to-night, accepts the Republican nomination for Governor,and states that he will make the canvass a thorough and active one. LOUISVILLE, August 7. Henry Watterson was elected to Congress to-day by an overwhelming majority. LOUISVILLE, August 8. Specials to the Courier-Journal indicate Democratic gains almost everywhere in the State. NEW YORK, August 8. The thermometer yesterday marked The first named house deserves special notice in the richness as well as in the extent of its exhibit. In the matter of silver work, our American designers are showing themselves to be true artists. The designs in solid silver were closely imitated in plated ware. In this line quite as much beauty appears as in the other. The quality of goods and the variety of patterns seem to increase yearly. The number of different articles made for table use, for mantle and side-board ornaments are almost innumerable. To most of us the use of many quaint dishes, cups, ladles, knives, etc., would cause a question. I am sure there were many things I could not tell for what purpose they had been made. One special article in the Gorbam Co.'s exhibit must not be forgotten. It is called THE CENTENNIAL VASE. It is a massive piece of beaten silver ware. It is some four feet long and over two feet high. It consists of figures grouped about a center piece, the whole representing America's century of progress. The Indians are represented as the first settlers, the Revolutionary times, the advances in commerce and manufacture, the present glorious consumption, where Columbia, a beautiful female, surmounts the whole. This vase is valued at $30,000. The firm of Tiffany & Co. not only presented fine specimens of solid silver of their own design and manufacture, but their display of jewelry was most extensive and gorgeous. One could only think of that wonderful garden into which Aladdin went, where he found trees, the fruit of which was all manner of precious stones. THE DISPLAY OF DIAMONDS. Was magnificent. Some huge specimens were placed at the end of long spirals, and, as the base revolved, the diamonds were in continuous motion, and splintled its beautiful colors, so as to keep the space about filled with crowds of admirers. Not far from Tiffany's was a display of similar beauty, but having two cases containing the rarest beauty of the entire exhibition. These cases contain a collection of most delicately cut CAEMOS. They were not the stock in trade of the firm showing them, but were the property of a New York lady who had spent years and vast sums of money in she has talent for composition, for reading and even for debate, of which she little dreamed. Nothing will bring this out so quickly as a trial. In order, however, to any permanence, the financial plans of the society must be sustained. Its plan to open a free reading room and in a few months to gather the beginnings of a library, should be cordially sustained by ever father and mother, by every Christian man, and by every individual in the place who desires the advancement of our youth in all those higher departments of thought that elevates them above being mere machines or animals. The writer has reason to congratulate the citizens of Anahelm in the marked improvement appearing in so many directions—in improved yards, in a wider view where once unsightly willows hid the beauty of the place, and especially in sidewalks. The grade of two new extensions in this department does not exactly meet, and it is to be feared that the sudden step-down or stub of the toe in a dark night will tempt some of our poor humanity to break the third commandment. On the whole we are looking up as a town. There is one subject which plainly needs attention, both in the interests of our dumb animals and in an interest which will no doubt appeal to some of our business men—that of profit. I mean a generous response to the wall which came from your Westminster correspondent, asking for a watering-place for horses. In Eastern towns, one of the standing means of attraction at many stores selling to farmers is, "Free yard, and an abundance of water." It certainly would be a vast convenience to our farming community if, when they come to town, they could find opportunities to water their jaded horses. As we are the metropolis of a large section, we certainly should be public-spirited. As we have no town authority to provide such convenience at public expense, it would be quite the thing for some of our large dealers to provide a place for watering horses. It is plainly evident that most farmers would stop and do their trading at that store which was most liberal in the provision of such conveniences. Hoping these suggestions are not out of place, the writer bans to remain as ever, INDIANAPOLIS, August 7. Gen. Ben. Harrison, to-night, accepts the Republican nomination for Governor,and states that he will make the canvase a thorough and active one. LOUISVILLE, August 7. Henry Watterson was elected to Congress to-day by an overwhelming majority. LOUISVILLE, August 8. Specials to the Courier-Journal indicate Democratic gains almost everywhere in the State. NEW YORK, August 8. The thermometer yesterday marked 96 in the shade. There were showers in the afternoon, which did not cool the atmosphere. The weather this morning is very warm with prospects of a scorching day. There were a few sunstrokes but only a few resulted fatally. O'Leary,the pedestrian; was overcome by the heat,but,after resting and taking medicine,cause him to vomit;he retired again,taking a sleep about midnight,after accomplishing something like 80' hours. The Times' Saratoga special indicates the probability that the Democratic State Convention will be fixed for three weeks after the Republican. Only two candidates are mentioned for Governor Clarkson N.Porter and Dorisheimer.The latter is believed to be Tilden's favorite.

Official information has reached the Treasury Department that the Argentine Government has just issued a degree putting a new value upon foreign gold and silver coin. The sovereign (British) has been reduced in value from 490 to 488; the gold ounce, or doubloon, from 16 dollars to 15 dollars; the Napoleon (French) from 390 to 387; twenty milies (Brazilian) from 118 to 90; the condor (Chilean) from 925 to 315, etc.; while the American eagle, which was 10 dollars, is raised to $1003. WASHINGTON, August 7. The bill repealing the resumption clause was carried in Congress by the defection of Page, of Ohio, who carried a strong Republican District, especially on the hard money platform. The furor of inflation extends gradually among the House Democrats. Only about a dozen can be relied on to resist the tide in favor of repudiation of the resumption pledge. A number asked Tilden his views of the proposed repeal, assuring him they would follow his advice faithfully. They received no reply. A single word from the Democratic candidate for President would have been sufficient to have prevented the vote which took place in the Convention on Banking, but it never came. This indisputable fact will help the public to understand Tilden's real position. Seymour reiterates his determination not to run for Governor, or accept any position in the public service which Tilden may offer him if elected to the Presidency, of which it is believed Seymour is far from confident.

Resolved. That the interests of California and the welfare of the country demand the resumption of specie payment at the earliest practical moment, and the maintenance of all laws and statutes providing for resumption.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9. The meeting of the California Fruit Growers' Association was held yesterday evening. About forty of the members were present, including representatives from Alameda, Marin, Sonoma, Solano, Napa, Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Joaquin, Contra Costa, Sacramento, Yuba, Yolo and other counties. An agent sent with a car-load of representatives of California fruit to the Centennial was present and his report was the special feature of the meeting. Reciting in brief his experience on the trip, he pointed out many improvements to be profitably introduced in the next venture. The fruit reached Philadelphia in good order with the exception of a few boxes injured by re-shipment at Chicago. It was placed side by side with the best fruit of the Atlantic Coast and was bought with avidity at the same time. The prices of the home articles were damaged, resulting from inexperience, this car-load being merely an experiment. As a commercial investment, the shipping netted a very handsome profit. He would recommend regular shipments. Besides relieving the home market, which in itself is a great consideration, it would be profitable. Several questions of a professional character were propounded and satisfactorily answered by the agent. The meeting determined to continue the shipment, and subscriptions to the amount of $5,000 were received. The books of the company will be open to-morrow at the Grange Headquarters, 40 California street, to receive additional subscriptions. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9. Tetlow, manager of the Bella Union Theater, and M. Merting, the father of the two children, Lottie and Walter Merting, aged respectively five and seven years, were arrested this evening, at the instance of the Secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, for causing the children named to perform hazardous feats on the stage, in violation of the law. Two warrants were served on each, with a bond of $500 on each. ST. Louis, August 8. It is reported from Sweetwater, Texas, that some 3,000 Indians are encamped at the North fork of the Red River near Fort Elliott, and are preparing for the war path.

THE Philadelphia Sunday Item has this paragraph relative to Gen. Hawley's connection with the Centennial Exposition as a Commissioner: "It is well understood by this time that Hawley has from the first been working for himself and making his position a mere cat's paw. We may say without exaggeration that owing to his contemptible conduct in regard to the Sunday opening, Gen. Hawley is the most unpopular man in Philadelphia. He is the biggest dead-head and the biggest pig-head of the whole tribe." We refrain, however, from lending our assent to the above because in another column of the same paper we find it stated that— "Victoria C.Woodhull is yet to occupy a position in the world to which no one has ever yet attained—a position which she will use not less to her own glory and honor than for the glory and honor for the happiness and prosperity of the people over whom she shall preside; and she will leave as a legacy to the future a code of laws that for all coming time shall bless the world which as it ascends into the glorious dawning of the Milennial age will look back to her and call her 'blessed.'" As it is impossible to serve God and Mammon, it is still more impossible for a newspaper to support two such extremes of the human race as Gen. Hawley,the gentleman,and Vic Woodhull,the — Downey City Items.

One of the exquisite wonders of the sea is called the Opellet, and is about as large as the German Aster, looking indeed very much like one. Imagine a very large double Aster, with ever so many long petals of a light green, glossy as satin, and each one tipped with rose color. These lovely petals do not lie quietly in their places like those of the Aster in your garden, but wave about the water, while the Opellet generally clings to a rock. How innocent and lovely it clings on its rocky bed! Who would suppose that it could eat anything grosser than daw or sunlight? But those beautiful, waving arms, as you call them, have another use besides looking pretty. They have to provide for a large open mouth, which is hidden deep down among them—so well hidden that one can scarcely find it. Well do they perform their duty, for the instant a foolish little fish touches one of the rosy tips, he is struck with poison, as fatal as lightning. He immediately becomes numb and in a moment stags struggling, and then the beautiful arm wraps themselves around him, and he is drawn into the hinge, greedy mouth, and is seen no more. Then the lovely arm unchane and wares again in the water, looking as innocent and harmless as though they had never lauched a fish.
