A SPLENDID PRESENT. The publishers of the Gazette are making a determined effort to increase its circulation, and to that end have authorized Mr. T. B. Johnson To solicit subscriptions for the same. Besides furnishing a paper which in quantity and quality of matter will compare favorably with any publication outside of the metropolis, subscribers will receive AN ELEGANT FRENCH CHROMO Representing a cross wreathed with flowers. This chromo is something superior to those generally offered as premiums, and its cost, even at wholesale rates, is a heavy drain upon the publishers; but they hope that this "thing of beauty" will so help to swell their subscription list that they will be repaid for their enterprise. This chromo is given only to subscribers who pay one year's subscription in advance. A FORMIDABLE LIST. The terrible calamity which occurred at Brooklyn on the fifth of the present month still continues to furnish a fruitful theme for writers. Such fearful catastrophes come so rarely that, even in this stirring age of events, it takes a long time before the thoughts of the dread holocaust can be eradicated from the mind. Among the most appalling calamities of modern times was the burning of the Church of the Jesuits, at Santiago, the capital of Chill, on the evening of December 8th, 1803, when "over two thousand souls passed through that ordeal of fire to the judgment seat of God." The victims on that occasion were mostly women and children. The journals thus described the sad scene: "One hundred and fifty cartloads of unrecognized corpses were on the 9th and 10th carried to the cemetery." Beauty, wealth and the proud Spanish aristocracy all had their repre- CHRISTMAS. As the year draws rapidly to a close, and we leave behind us the trouble and glory, the excitement and worry, the profit and the loss of our Centennial Exposition, our financial panics and our Presidential election, we are made aware of the fact that Old Father Christmas with his merry face, accompanied by Good Santa Claus with full pockets, are very shortly to become our guests—our cheerful welcome guests, scattering peace and good will, happiness, mirth and charity freely around them. Another Christmas is close upon us, and it may not be out of place to give a thought to the occasion. Christmas is probably the one season of the year when a man feels a disposition, if he ever does, to bid his enemy God speed, and to shake hands and bury the past; the only time when "men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-travellers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." Need we say that it is this feeling, this disposition on the part of all to bury strife and worry, and put a good face on everything, that makes Christmas peculiarly the holiday season; the season in which we do not selfishly confine our plans for enjoyment to ourselves, but take all mankind into our confidence. It is at this season that loving hearts are all in a flutter, and nimble fingers hard at work preparing those mysterious nicknacks that are destined to gladden the heart of some dear one. This is the time when loving parents delight in gladdening the young hearts of their children through the happy medium of Santa Claus. It is about this time that husbands and fathers prepare themselves for raids on bank books and purses—raids that are met, how- TOWN I Reference to our will show that a fewtees is now in the combination the most ing gentlemen are able as candidates: Fischer, Yocum, Kroeger, Tim Boeper—ten in all, so no lack of maternal choose. We advise selection to be guided alone—the welfare to let no opportunity labor to elect the Trustees. We let personal prejudices exert no influence not to oppose this because of sorrow, but to look on fitness and their tions for the office; the matter; to date, not as friend but as strangers as examine into as we would physician or proposed to trust poral or financial gentlemen nominating and the question not to elect than And therein lies are apt to say.

The victims on that occasion were mostly women and children. The journals thus described the sad scene: "One hundred and fifty cartloads of unrecognized corpses were on the 9th and 10th carried to the cemetery. Beauty, wealth and the proud Spanish aristocracy all had their representatives in that awful cortege." In this country there has been a number of cases of sudden destruction of theatres and churches by fire, many of them attended with loss of life. In 1821 the Richmond Theatre was burned, and between seventy and eighty persons perished, including the Governor of the State. On the evening of May 27th, 1875, the Catholic Church at Holyoke, Mass., was burned, and seventy-five persons perished in the flames. Fifty persons were burned to death in the Quebec Theatre in 1846. In New York City, the following theatres were burned: Winter Garden Theatre, Niblo's Theatre, Fifth Avenue Theatre, Bowery Theatre, (burned 3 times), Academy of Music, and Barnum's Museum. Fortunately, no lives were lost in any of these cases. This would seem to indicate that theatres are peculiarly liable to destruction by fire, and would justify the enactment of compulsory laws regarding the proper construction and safeguards of buildings to be used as theatres. CASTOR BEANS, FLAX SEED AND FLAX FIBRE. We see by a notice in our advertising columns that Mr. Geo. H. Peck, agent for the Pacific Oil and Lead Works of San Francisco, is desirous of contracting for the castor bean, flax seed and flax fibre crops of 1877. This indicatates a purpose to introduce into Los Angeles County what is very much needed—new and cash agricultural industries. The castor bean crops, during the past six years, have brought many thousands of dollars into the county. This product, properly managed, is said to pay much better than hay or grain; and the farmer has the advantage of knowing precisely what he will receive per pound for his crop, before he puts the seed in the ground. Mr. Peck will advance, on shipping receipts, cash to the amount of about three-quarters of the value of the crop, and the balance will be paid inside of thirty days. Flax-seed, until the establishment of the Pacific Oil and Lead Works in It is at this season that loving hearts are all in a flutter, and nimble fingers hard at work preparing those mysterious nick-nacks that are destined to gladden the heart of some dear one. This is the time when loving parents delight in gladdening the young hearts of their children through the happy medium of Santa Claus. It is about this time that husbands and fathers prepare themselves for raids on bank books and purses—raids that are met, however, in a different manner to the majority of such. Indeed, the usual set speech as to necessity for economy, folly of such nonsense, etc., is but half uttered ere the speaker breaks into a smile, and laughingly says, what must be, must be. Is it, perhaps, a guilty consciousness of some trifles laid away in his priate desk that makes pater-familias so easy of access, or has the stern husband made up his mind to lay out a dime or two, just to let his old friends see he did not forget them when he married? It is at this season that the exchange of gifts renew the mutual confidence and estgem between friends, and strengthens and cements the bond of union for another year of trial. It is at this time that Dives suddenly remembers the existence of Lazarus, and that the necessity of his having a good dinner and a warm body should be seen to. It is at this season that good Christian ladies are to be found going into the humble residences of the poor, armed with mysterious parcels and coming out without them. It is at this season that merry laughter rings upon our ear, making us ripe to laugh right merrily when we meet our friends. It is at this time that family gatherings are in their zenith, that the ties of affection supersede all others, and that hand grasps hand and heart beats to heart in pure, unselfish friendship. All hail, then, to Christmas, when such feelings predominate; when man's better nature asserts itself, and want for once is clutched by the throat by abundance! At such a season we should look back at the records of the year,and ask ourselves,have we aught to reproach ourselves with? any forgiveness to ask? Should we find we have, let our manhood assert itself and our duty be done. National, local, commercial, personal and family differences should be healed; and all taking their cue from the season, should resolutely set themselves to the task of improving in the future and profiting by the past. Let the evil be forgotten; the good only treasured. is a good friend oi for him instead oi other who is be not a personal friend guarded against. should be chosen to their fitness a should be chosen and work together differ.

This product, properly managed, is said to pay much better than hay or grain; and the farmer has the advantage of knowing precisely what he will receive per pound for his crop, before he puts the seed in the ground. Mr. Peck will advance, on shipping receipts, cash to the amount of about three-quarters of the value of the crop, and the balance will be paid inside of thirty days. Flax-seed, until the establishment of the Pacific Oil and Lead Works in San Francisco, had no agricultural value on this coast. Now, its annual productive returns to the farmer is a large amount. It is a favorite crop with those who have tried it. An experienced farmer recently said that he would prefer it three to one to barley, for it was easier handled, quicker out of the way, brought more, and was cash. Old residents say that flax here is indigenous; if this be so, flax, for seed and fibre, should succeed in this county. We trust many of our enterprising farmers will experiment freely in this direction the coming season. Should it become a staple crop, there is no reason why an additional fifty thousand dollars at least, and in cash, should not annually be brought to our farmers. The loyal Madagascarian has to hurrah for Queen Ranovalomanjaka. When an assembly of 5,000 jaws get to work on three hearty cheers for the Sovereign, it seems as if the island is being wrenched from its place. At a recent duel near Paris one of the combatants seized his opponent as soon as he reached the rendezvous and beat him severely with a club. This too hasty gentleman, who moves in fashionable circles, has been challenged by his own seconds for such an unprecedented display of bad temper. The President, in reply to an invitation extended to him by a Republican on Thursday to visit Virginia, after his term of office expires, said that he intends to leave for Havana, Cuba, in March, after President Hayes' inauguration, and, after spending a few weeks there, sail for Europe to remain for some time. A man in Maine has discovered the advantages of a large family. He has twenty-two children, and recently, when he made arrangements for moving from one school district to another, thus transferring his school tax, his old neighbors offered to pay him something to remain among them. His new neighbors, however, offered to remove him free of expense, and so prevailed. The correspondent of the London Standard, at Alexandria, telegraphs that it is stated on good authority that the Khedive is dissatisfied with his American military officers, and has notified them that their contracts will not be renewed. The policy of this step is questionable, as a renewal of the Absayinian war is considered as imminent. The fore-handed farmers in this county have nearly all their seed grain covered in, ready for the rains. The slow ones are beginning to think of clearing up their ground, ready for the plow, and should there be a short supply of moisture, will of course have short crops. However, as the rains have failed only once in fourteen years in this county, and seldom come before Christmas, no one is feeling very anxious as yet.—Ventura Free Press. Placerville Democrat: At the recent examination for teachers' certificates by our County Board, one of the exercises was: "Define hyperbole, and give an example." To which one of the applicants responded as follows: "A hyperbole is an exaggeration of the truth, used to illustrate wit or humor. Example: The train running between Shingle Springs and Latrobe goes with such speed that the kiss left on the hand of Mr. Watkins by his Placerville girl was not dry before it was shaken by his girl at Latrobe." TOWN ELECTION. Reference to our advertising columns will show that a fourth ticket for trustees is now in the field. By this new combination the names of the following gentlemen are now before the people as candidates: Langenberger, Zeyn, Fischer, Yocum, R. Heimann, Cowan, Kroeger, Tim Boege, Hardin and Bittner—ten in all, so that there will be no lack of material from which to choose. We advise our citizens in this election to be guided by one object alone—the welfare of the town, and to let no opportunity slip and spare no labor to elect the best possible Board of Trustees. We exhort the people to let personal prejudices and animosities exert no influence in this matter; not to oppose this or that candidate because of some personal quarrel, but to look only to their personal fitness and their business qualifications for the office; to calmly weigh the matter; to scrutinize the candidates, not as friends and neighbors, but as strangers and public men; to examine into their qualifications as we would into those of a physician or attorney whom we proposed to trust with our corporal or financial welfare. All the gentlemen nominated are good citizens, and the question is rather one of who not to elect than one of who to elect. And therein lies the difficulty. We are apt to say, So-and-so will do and he is a good friend of mine, so I shall go for him instead of supporting some other who is better qualified, though not a personal friend. This should be guarded against. The best set of men should be chosen—chosen with regard to their fitness as a body. A body should be chosen that will harmonize and work together; not bicker and differ. So we say men should not be chosen as partizans, but as public men; not as representatives of any ring, combination or clique, but as representa- Westminster Items. [Regular Correspondence of the Gazette.] The Methodist Church was dedicated last Sabbath morning. The exercises were conducted by Rev. A. M. Hough of Los Angeles, the presiding Elder for this district, and Rev. T. A. Van Anda, pastor of the church. Reva Thorn Vivian, of Coryote Creek, Calloway, of Anaheim, and R. Streng, representing the Presbyterian Church, in Mr. King's inability to attend, were also on the platform. The sermon was preached by Elder Hough, from Isath 2, to 4, and was a very fine discourse. His views were broad, his reasoning clear, his deductions forcible. At the close of the sermon a statement showing the financial condition of the society was given. The entire cost of the building was $1554 32; amount contributed $1055; leaving a debt of $499 32. The Elder then made a strong appeal to those present to wipe out this debt. He said it must be met some time and if not paid now would be a constant annoyance until settled in full. It was shown that there would be far greater enjoyment from dedicating the church if free from all indebtedness. Rev. R. Strong also urged all present to contribute as they were able independent of denominational differences. Many thought the sum needed was too great to be raised here, but subscriptions were called for in this order: eight of $25 each, twenty of $10 each, and twenty of $5 each. Hats were also passed around and there was contributed in subscriptions and cash $530, besides $45 given toward the purchase of an organ—$575 in all. This we consider quite remarkable for such a community as ours. The building is 26x40, and will, when the spire is built on one corner, present a very neat exterior. The audience-room is comfortable and attractive. The seats are the same as those in the Episcopal church in Anaheim, and will accommodate about 200 comfortably. There were about 300 present at the dedication. This society was organized only last Fall, yet they have built a very neat house and dedicated it free from debt. Their course is worthy of imitation, both in at once erecting a house of their own and having no indebtedness attached to it. We know of a society to whom a sermon could very appropriately be preached from the passage "Go and do thou MISCELLANY.

That terrible disease, cancer, is growing more fatal in England. Thus far this year it has carried off more than 11,000 persons, more than one-half of whom were women. General John T. Morgan, United States Senator-elect from Alabama, is 52, was born in Tennessee, is a lawyer, was in 1860 in Breckenridge Elector, and was a Confederate Brigadier. The Chinese, it is stated, will pay the British Government $325,000 on account of the murder of Mr. Margary. Of that sum $50,000 will go to Mr. Margary's family. A Washington paper says: Ye female lobbyist is "all here." She is fluttering around Congress like a June butterfly on the ragged edges of a mud puddle. Delaware sticks to it that twenty lashes on the bare back will do the offender more good than sixty days in jail. Those who have felt the lash are of the same opinion. The canvass for treasurer is extremely exciting. There is only one gentleman nominated on each ticket and the same one in each case. This unanimity of action renders the result very doubtful, and it is at present an open question which ticket will elect their man. We draw a veil over the harrowing struggle that convulses the community as to the assessorship and marshalship. We simply say that all audience-room is comfortable and attractive.

Judge Dwinelle denied yesterday the application for divorce in the case of Maria Hitchcock vs. Henry Hitchcok, in which the plaintiff set up that she will go crazy if she is compelled to remain under the marital control of her present liege. It seems that the parties were married in Washington Territory about fifteen years ago, she being 15 and he 32. Judge Dwinelle remarked that the complaint contained two grounds for divorce, viz., extreme cruelty and neglect to provide. No cruelty had been proven, unless it be that when the wife was on a visit to Washington Territory she wrote to her audience-room is comfortable and attractive.

There is only one gentleman nominated on each ticket and the same one in each case. This unanimity of action renders the result very doubtful, and it is at present an open question which ticket will elect their man. We draw a veil over the harrowing struggle that convulses the community as to the assessorship and marshalship. We simply say that all the taxpayers should feel a keen interest in the assessorship, as it is a most important position. Let the merits of all candidates be thoroughly sifted, and the best chosen. All citizens alike should be concerned as to the marshal, and here it said that brains are as essential in a marshal as muscle, and that a judicious combination of both is the desideratum. To all, in conclusion, again we say, keep cool; use judgment; work hard; and, if beaten, don't growl. In New York, on the evening of the 19th inst., a job was put on Bennett, of the Herald. All the journals received an elaborate description of his marriage to Miss May. They sent it to the Herald for verification, found it false, and suppressed it in time. The Martinez Gazette states: Notwithstanding the late material reduction in miners' wages, the proprietors of our coal mines are still unable, with the great amount of foreign coal on the market, to furnish anything like full work to their employees, and fears are expressed that they may be obliged to suspend work altogether. Among the many petitions received by the Mayor of Worcester for the recovery of property lost by the flood last spring, the following is the most interesting: "To the mare and assessors of Worcester, Mass., Dear sir, I would like to have the worth of 50 dollars for my beese and hunny that I lost in the flood at Jamesville." During the last month the expenses of the Napa Insane Asylum amounted to $7,368 68, or 664 cents per patient per day. Judge Dwinelle denies your application for divorce in the case of Maria Hitchcock vs. Henry Hitchcock, in which the plaintiff set up that she will go crazy if she is compelled to remain under the marital control of her present liege. It seems that the parties were married in Washington Territory about fifteen years ago, she being 15 and he 32. Judge Dwinelle remarked that the complaint contained two grounds for divorce, viz., extreme cruelty and neglect to provide. No cruelty had been proven, unless it be that when the wife was on a visit to Washington Territory she wrote to her husband that she had formed a strong affection for another man, and this letter, she says, her husband exhibited to her friends. This fact, the Judge thought, might be construed to be an act of cruelty, but it would not entitle her to a divorce. As to the charge of neglect to provide, it was shown that the husband gave his wife money and she had good credit, and if she did not provide herself with the necessaries and even luxuries of life, it was her own fault. The plaintiff testifies that on one occasion she was refused credit at a fruit store, and as a result, one of their children was disfigured by a strawberry mark.—All this was not deemed cruelty enough to entitle her to a divorce.—San Francisco Call. The palindrome is a line that reads alike backwards and forwards. One of the best is Adam's first observation to Eve: "Madam, I'm Adam." Another is the story that Napoleon, when at St. Helena, being asked by an Englishman if he could have sacked London, replied, "Able was I ere I saw Elba"—the best palindrome, probably, in the language. Years ago, away up North, might have been seen a street sign which came very near being an excellent palindrome. It read: "S. Gilligs—Yreka Bakery." Now try it backwards. Uncle Sam has a pretty good sized farm still left. According to the report of Secretary Chandler, 6,524,326 acres were disposed of during the last fiscal year, for which the cash receipts were $1,747,215 85. During the year 21,806,515.25 acres were surveyed, leaving yet to be surveyed 2,132,665,-214.53 acres. Gold Hill News: "Of course they're all right" said Col. Mose, in the Fashion saloon last night, as he shuffled the cards after the dealer," but then yer see it don't do no harm to give 'em a riff jess for luck. A man may believe yer when yer tell him that the North Pole is red hot, or that his mother-in-law is an angel in disguise, but when he gets a jack full beat in a game of bean poker, it is a difficult thing to make him believe everything is exactly on the squar." New York Tribune: Mr. Cronin,the Democratic Elector in Oregon, who has burst into national prominence in such loose and irregular manner, is a brother of Mr. Timothy C. Cronin, of Brooklyn, one of the Republican Electors for this State. The latter gentleman is a gentleman in good standing, but he has never been able to absorb in all of his practice so much law as his now distinguished brother laid hands on and fractured in a few hours. On a stated day, a short time ago, the German Government caused an examination of the pupils in every school in the Empire, with a view to determine not their proficiency in studies, but the color of their hair,eyes and skin. In Prussia the number of persons examined was more than four millions, of whom 42.97 per cent. had blue eyes and 21.41 per cent. brown. As to hair, 72 per cent. had blonde. 26 per cent. brown and 1.21 black. Only 6.53 were dark in complexion. The percentage af brunettes in Bavaria was 15%, while 5 per cent. had black hair, 41 per cent. brown,and 64 per cent. fair.The report showed that of the Jewish pupils nearly 33 per cent. were fair. It is held by some ethnologists, we do not know upon what grounds, that "dark" Germans are Germans only in political sense, being descended from the Latin races. BY TELEGRAPH SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.

The town is agog over the report that Stanford and Scott have agreed to unite at El Paso, Stanford keeping the California end and giving us a branch road from San Bernardino. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19. About 11 o'clock last night a shooting affray occurred in a room in the second story of No. 925 Market street, during which Charles McGann and his wife were shot. A few minutes after the shooting affray, two men, Coffey and Page, entered the room and found the wounded man on the bed and the woman on the floor. W. E. Wallace, of No. 1224 Folsom street, who entered the room with the officers, was called by the wounded man, who said, "I want to make this my dying statement to you. My wife shot me, and in trying to take the pistol from her, it went off and shot her." The wounded woman then stated to Mr. Wallace that her husband took the pistol from her and shot her. The two were placed in a carriage, and conveyed to the City Receiving Hospital, where they were examined by Dr. Stivins, the police surgeon. The surgeon found that the man had been shot in the left arm and left shoulder, and that the woman had received a bullet wound in the upper part of the breast. The wounds which McGann received are painful but not dangerous; but the one which the woman received is of a dangerous character, and she now lies in a very critical condition. McGann, while in the hospital, stated that he sometimes had quarrels with his wife because she would drink. Last night she wanted to go out, and he placed himself against the door to prevent her, when she took a pistol. The American Consul has provided for the passengers and crew. The ship was burned to the water's edge. She will be sold at auction. The Montant was a wood screw steamer, of one thousand tons. She was built in Bathy Maine, in 1865, valued at $76,000, and was insured for $60,000, divided among a number of companies. She had a valuable cargo on board when she left this port. Much of her freight, consigned to Mexican ports, was discharged before the disaster. The cargo at that time consisted of some goods for the Gulf and Colorado river ports, about $47,000 worth of Commissary stores, and $8,000 worth of Quartermaster's stores, for the military posts in Arizona. The Government had no insurance. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19: To-day the Treaty Commissioners called upon the President to present him a pipe sent him by White Ghost. The President paid: "It is sometimes difficult to know the real facts of the condition of the Indian tribes by reason of conflicting reports from the agents, bordermen and military officers, and in that way injustice might be done, but I always try to deal justly with the Indians. I believe that the favorable results of the peace policy justify the belief that it will be continued. I have always endeavored to so firmly establish this policy during my term of office that my successor may not think it proper to change it." WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. The total amount required to pay the mileage of the Electoral Messengers will be $8,857. The Messenger from Oregon will be paid upwards of $900. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21. WHEAT—The market is firmer, with more disposition on the part of purchasers to meet the views of holders. Offers were made to-day of $2 07; for 1,000 tons choice shipping, delivered at the Oakland wharf, and 300 tons at $2 05 alongside. Both offers were rejected; and, in fact, it is doubtful if $2 10 would purchase any considerable quantity before it rains. Sale of 700 snacks milling at $1 85. BARLEY—Feed still lacks strength. Brewing is apparently firm. Sales of coast feed at $1 20, silver, $1 12; gold; good bay brewing $1.25 gold. OATS—The stock is liberal and the market not very firm; feed $1 60@1 85. POTATOES—Market completely glutted with inferior to fair qualities; Choice lots sell quite liberally. Range for all kinds, 60@87.

Among the notable features of the Christmas holidays will be an excursion by rail to Los Angeles under the management of Saml C. Hough. It is proposed to leave San Francisco at 4 P.M. on the 20th inst., and to leave Los Angeles on the 30th at 1:15 P.M. on the return trip. It is expected that the excursionists will have three days to spend sight-seeing in Los Angeles and environs. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20. In the Pacheco-Wiggington election contest, it is understood that the contending parties have agreed to submit the matter to the Supreme Court of the State, and that a decision may be confidently expected before the allotted time for certifying to the returns expires. The following-named counsel have been retained for Wigginton: Messrs. Birch, Turner and Hoag, and for Pacheco, Messrs. Estee, Felton and Delos Lake. A number of prominent business men of Virginia City have signed an address to the Nevada Senators, Sharon and Jones, asking their cooperation in obtaining the passage by Congress of a bill providing for the issue of legal tender silver notes, with a view of restoring the value of silver as a circulating medium. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19. No further particulars have arrived concerning the loss of the steamer Montana, except that she left Guaymas for the mouth of the Colorado river, having discharged all foreign freight, and had nothing of consequence on board except Government stores for Arizona. When the fire was first discovered she was beached and all on board landed, while the vessel burned to the water's edge. Captain Douglass, of the steamer Montana, telegraphs that that vessel, which left this port on the 3d inst., arrived at Guaymas on the 14th, and left at 10:30 in the evening. An hour afterwards fire was discovered coming up amidships. In five minutes the ship was ablaze aft. He ran her ashore two miles inside of Cape Haro, to save the passengers and crew. No lives were lost, but nothing on board was saved. Among her passengers were Lleut. King, U.S. Army, and a number of recruits for the military posts in Arizona. Quarters have been arranged for them at Guaymas. The authorities tendered every assistance had been done. He repeatedly asked if Conrow was dead, and upon being told by one of the officers that he still lived expressed great rage, crying out that if he lived to get well he would follow Conrow for fifty years, if necessary, to kill him. Barber is still alive, but with no hope of recovery. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. The Capital professes to have information that, as there is no law requiring the presiding officer of the Senate to be chosen from among the members of that body, the Republican Senators have determined to elect Gen. Grant to that position in case of need, and thus make him President of the United States until his successor is inaugurated. The Capital says this deep laid scheme of desperate men means revolution, and it therefore, in two vehement editorials, calls on the people to arm for the conflict. It also intimates that it would be easy to fill Pennsylvania avenue with 100,000 Democratic soldiers to prevent Hayes' inauguration or exercise of presidential functions. WASHINGTON, D.C., Dec. 20. The Special Commissioner of the General Land Office to-day sent to the Surveyor-General, at San Francisco, patents for the following private land: J. Arupus, Lordis Rubideau, confirms containing 6,749 acres, in Los Angeles county; also Ranch el Carpion, Arbans, Oden and Manuel, Indians, and Joaquin Romroe, claimants. This is also in Los Angeles county and contains 1,209 acres. Thirty years ago a young man entered the city of New York in an almost penniless condition, and without a single acquaintance in the great city of houses. To-day his name is known wherever humanity dwells. It is spoken in every hamlet it is heard in every city, and is as familiar to the worker in the mines as to his brother in the mills, and where language is known and ideas expressed, the name of this penniless, unknown and uncouth lad of thirty years ago is uttered. It is John Smith. "Out of savages," says Professor Tyndall, "unable to count up to the number of their fingers, and speaking a language containing only nouns and verbs, arise at length our Newtons and Shakespeare."
