WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 10, 1877. The destitution in New York is something awful to contemplate. On the evening of the 2d inst. a mass meeting of workingmen was held and it was decided to call upon the State Legislature for an appropriation of $2,000,000 to give work to the 55,000 idle men in the city. The French press had a "fat contributor" in the person of "Baron Brisse," a celebrated cook of Paris, who recently died. He supplied several newspapers, for daily publication, with dinner recipes, which many families followed. He measured only nine feet around the waist. The young gorilla in the Berlin Aquarium which has excited so much interest among German naturalists, has lately recovered from a serious illness, and is now more than ever demonstrative and human-like in his movements. With the approach of winter a soft, silky fur made its appearance. During the animal's six months' residence in Europe, his weight has increased from 33 to 43 pounds, which shows that confinement is not, after all, unendurable. The lawyer who defended Daniel Price, convicted of murder in Warrenton, Mo., mounted the scaffold just before the execution, and said to the spectators: "You are now about to witness the execution of a fellow-being of whose innocence I have not the least doubt. I tell you, follow citizens, that in the execution of this man the people of Warren county are about to commit a most heinous crime—that of executing an innocent man." Price also protested his innocence. The fau de joie on New Year's Day at Delhi rolling down one long line of troops, then doubling back, and rattling up the other, was magnificent; but the army of gigantic elephants who formed the outer enclosure of the pageant did not appreciate the salute. They turned tail after each discharge in wild stampsole, and could only with great difficulty be brought into the ranks again. Many native sight-seers were killed or injured by them. SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF. Since resuming the publication of the Gazette, we have been highly gratified at the many kind expressions of good-will on the part of our contemporaries. It is not the custom of the journals of this coast to bestow praise where it is not due, nor to hypocritically lend their sympathy; therefore we are proud in the belief that we number among our friends nearly every paper of eminence published in the State. But not lets gratifying has been the letters daily received, expressing condolence at our misfortune—not alone from persons with whom we are personally acquainted, but from others whom we have never met, and whose names are only familiar to us by seeing them on our subscription book. Some may say that this sympathy is "cheap,"—only a postal card with a few lines expressive of regret, etc. But to us it appears in a different light; it is evident that we have so conducted our paper as to make it acceptable to our patrons, and to cause them to regret that by any mischance its daily or weekly visit is interrupted. We have before us a letter received by mail last night, which we take the liberty of publishing. For his gracefully written favor Mr. Lynch has our hearty thanks: EASTERN OREGON LAND COMPANY, 408 FRONT STREET, SAN FRANCISCO, FEBRUARY 5, 1877. MESSRS. MELROSE & ATTIZARN, Anaheim. Gente—Believe me that you had all my sympathy when the telegraph informed us of the recent disaster. It is pleasantly pleasant, I assure you—congratulate you on the re-appearance of the Gazette, presenting as it does, even to the eye of a layman, a wonder in original, selected and local matters; in a dress surpassing expectation. Wishing you all the success in the future you prove yourselves so well to deserve, and trusting the Gazette will "still wave" next Centennial, I remain, gentlemen, Your Friend. TIMO: LYNCH, It is perhaps needless to say that our immediate neighbors have been substantially kind to us. For many years Anaheim has been known as a town within whose borders resided a large-hearted, generous and liberal people. By their works they have proven that they are entitled to be so classed; and having succeeded in so conducting ourselves, as journalists and men, as to deserve the kindness they him any or not, let her week, and if he feels believe that the use in no way, the writing and agree that the and opinion is a great race. Physicians often cease us ag to hear asserting that the medicine counteracted however, have the patient recovers because tobacco for a season. Recommends the use senic, strychnine may be recommended to persevere in this after the desired reason parent desires to have children use tobacco are there who say to bacon; use it; it will soon become us when this is gone co you money to buy m example they lead them to paths of hell.

They turned tail after each discharge in wild stampele, and could only with great difficulty be brought into the ranks again. Many native sight-seers were killed or injured by them. The New Age, the organ of the Fraternity of Odd Fellows, has the following: "We learn from the Heart and Hand that Bro. Colfax is still giving his celebrated lecture on Abraham Lincoln to crowded audiences in the various cities of the Eastern States, and will deliver it in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, on February 15. Bro. Colfax has been engaged to deliver the same in several places in California in the early spring—the first in San Francisco, for the benefit of the Odd Fellows' Library. A circus company, on their way to Australia, stopped to see one of the Fiji islands. While wandering about one of them turned a somersault, and the native spectators were astounded by the sight. Thereafter, the circus men, discerning the opportunity for fun, varied their walks by frequent somersaults and grotesque contortions, all the time maintaining sober faces and the utmost gravity of demeanor. Multitudes followed them, in the belief they were missionaries, sent to teach a religion in which somersaults were a part of the service. The usefulness of thorns has been demonstrated by the recent great storm wave in Bengal. Most of the survivors were saved by being tossed up among the branches of the prickly thorn trees. The wave came upon the inhabitants so suddenly that there was scarcely time for voluntary action. Helpless and half conscious, they were born aloft by the flood and caught by the thorns, which held them until the waters subsided. Sir Richard Temple, Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, states that hardly any one escaped who had not been saved by a tree. Senator Conkling has acquired great fame since he made his speech on the Compromise Bill. Every influential paper in the country, of every shade of political belief, praises his speech warmly. The New York Herald has this to say: "The Herald this morning complete its verbatim report of the concluding part of this remarkable exhibition of eloquence, acuteness, research and logical cogency. It is the most powerful and extraordinary exhibition of parliamentary reasoning that has been witnessed in the Senate since the days of Clay and Webater. Senator Conkling has now reached precisely the same age Webater had attained when he made his celebrated reply to Haynes, which is regarded as the chief course of his eloquence. Whether Mr. Conkling will ever go beyond this great heinous crime—that of executing an innocent man." Price also protested his innocence. It is perhaps needless to say that our immediate neighbors have been substantially kind to us. For many years Anaheim has been known as a town within whose borders resided a large-hearted, generous and liberal people. By their works they have proven that they are entitled to be so classed; and having succeeded in so conducting ourselves, as journalists and men, as to deserve the kindness they have bestowed upon us, is assuredly "something to be proud of." Tobacco, Alcohol, Opium, Etc. [SECOND PAPER.] Tobacco is a noxious, poisonous weed, a native of America. It was first introduced in Europe by Sir Walter Raleigh, although a man named Nicot has the honor (?) of introducing it in Spain and France. The active principle of tobacco is nicotine, which is a nearly colorless fluid, of little smell when cold, of an exceedingly acrid, burning taste, and a virulent, deadly poison. A drop of it in solution was sufficient to destroy the life of a dog, and small birds perish by inhaling it. A few drops of it will destroy the life of a human being in from two to five minutes. Tobacco leaves, moderately taken either by chewing, smoking or snuffing, quiet restlessness, calms mental and corporeal inquitude, and produces a state of general languor or repose; or, in other words, it makes an individual drunk and keeps him so as long as he continues to use it, having the same effect as a large dose of rum, brandy or whisky, or an ordinary dose of opium or morphine. In larger quantities, it gives rise to confusion of the head, vertigo, stupor, faintness, nausea, vomiting and general slobidity of the nervous and circulatory functions, and if the quantity used is increased, eventuates in alarming and even fatal prostration. The function of the heart is affected by the use of tobacco; it also enfebles digestion and produces emaciation. The late Dr. Chapman states that he had met with several instances of mental disorder nearly resembling delirium tremens which resulted from the use of tobacco and which subsided in a few days after the use had been abandoned. Many cases of insanity can be traced to the use of tobacco. Anyone desiring further reliable information can find the above, and more, at the U.S. Dispensatory. To further settle the foundation for opposition to its use, I quote from the work of Prof. Brown, of the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C: "Tobacco exerts its characteristic influence on the intellectual faculties. Its action is slow and its exhilation at any time almost imperceptible, but in a series of years it works disastrous results, impairing first the power of decision—the will power; after that memory feels its effects; the fine moral feelings are blunted; and the mental perceptions, the powers of abstract thought," At the request of we reproduce the first some time ago in Edward Hinderde's Liverpool willing to risk my life if the worst case effectually cured cream of tartar. The falling remedy: O dissolved in a pint drank when cold; be taken at any time well as curative; in a hundredth failure. I have made this means. It nee causes blindness; tedious lingering; try it and report would require to you gave them put off if some of them were to try the alchemy upon it? It is at less. San Francisco, Skill The Herald this morning complete its report of the concluding part of this remarkable exhibition of eloquence, acuteness, research and logical cogency. It is the most powerful and extraordinary exhibition of parliamentary reasoning that has been witnessed in the Senate since the days of Clay and Webster. Senator Conkling has now reached precisely the same age Webster had attained when he made his celebrated reply to Hayne, which is regarded as the chief source of his eloquence. Whether Mr. Conkling will ever go beyond this great culminating display of abilities nobody can tall for although most men's minds have fully ripened at the age of forty-eight, a few continue to grow until considerably past sixty. Whether the brilliant New York Senator, of whom his State is so justly proud, will ever surpass or even equal the present great effort will perhaps depend on accident and opportunity. True eloquence, as Webster said, exists in the subject and the occasion as well as in the man, and in our parliamentary life it has not often happened to the same statesman to meet and match an occasion important enough to afford full scope for the highest order of abilities and make a speech destined to become historical. Fisher Ames made one such speech on the British treaty; Webster made one such in reply to Hayne, Mr. Conkling has made one which will be remembered beyond his own time. He has securely established his title to the highest place among our parliamentary speakers of this generation, and is not likely to be surpassed unless he should surpass himself. But the credit of eloquence is his secondary praise. He has risen above party and acted as a patriot; but this noble praise is shared by several others, who, though strong and able, have not approached him in his effulgent display of intellectual resources. New York, with a feeling of gratified pride, congratulates herself and her peerless Senator. Bakerfield Courier: Before the late rain commenced, the gale from the southeast continued near two days, sweeping everything before it. Some Basques, with their sheep on the plains, on the south side of Kearn Lake, were unable to follow their flocks. About 8000 sheep were driven by the wind to shelter of the sage brush near the lake. After the rain fell the ground became boggy, and the sheep, weak from starvation, sank in the soft ground and died by hundreds. In places they lie in piles, where they have struggled to get above one another. Tobacco exerts its characteristic influence on the intellectual faculties. Its action is slow and its exhilaration at any time almost imperceptible, but in a series of years it works disastrous results, impairing first the power of decision—the will power; after that the memory feels its effects; the fine moral feelings are blunted, and the mental perceptions, the powers of abstract thought, are impaired, and the whole mental fabric, slowly undermined, falls into ruin. So stealthily is its march that neither the victim or his friends suspect the cause of his failing mind and feeble health. The only remedy for its distroying effects is the entire disuse of it in every form." Tobacco, when chewed, interferes with the digestion; for this reason the American Indians probably used it occasionally when the supply of food became scarce. By preventing the usual digestion of the food, its use serves to allay the pangs of hunger; but its continuous use has the opposite effect; the appetite becomes inordinate, and the digestive apparatus ceases to perform its functions. A large portion of the food leaves the system undigested, and the overburdened organs become diseased; finally, they refuse to act at all. The sufferer is so ill that he does not care for his tobacco even. Sympathizing friends, to explain how very ill he is, say, "He is so sick he cannot even use tobacco." After going without tobacco for a few days, the organs gradually recuperate, and the patient begins to recover. If the physician vetoes the use of tobacco, he recovers rapidly, but as soon as his strength returns, resumes his fatal habit until he again becomes ill from the same cause. There are exceptions to this statement. Many persons assert that they have used tobacco for ten, twenty or thirty years, and that it has no effect whatever. So will individuals used to alcoholic stimulants assert that the use of two or three glasses of beer, a bottle of wine, and a few drams of whiskey each day, does them no injury. But if any one addicted to the use of tobacco really desires to know whether the drug is affecting well as curative in a hundred threesome means. It may cause blindness, tedium of lingering try it and report would require to you gave them pulp well if some of these were to try the alchemy upon it? It is at least.

The San Francisco which have always brokers and stately either for accommodation of this issue was enabled to move between the silver greenbacks with Silver and hence continued selling. Thos. Whelon at Caliente by Ur wound is probable him any or not, let him cause using it for one week, and if he feels no differently and will believe that the use or abstinence affects him in no way, the writer will abandon his position and agree that the use of tobacco, alcohol and opium is a great benefit to the human race. Physicians often compel their patients to cease using tobacco while under their charge, asserting that the medicine have no effect, being counteracted by the tobacco. Few, however, have the courage to assert that the patient recovers because he has abandoned tobacco for a season. Occasionally a physician recommends the use of tobacco; so also arsenic, strychnine and opium, and alcohol may be recommended; still, no one is expected to persevere in the use of these poisons after the desired result is obtained. What parent desires to have his wife, sisters or children use tobacco in any form? How many are there who say to their sons, "Here is tobacco; use it; it will make you sick, but you will soon become used to it." Persevere, when this is gone come to me and I will give you money to buy more." And yet by their example they lead the young men around them to paths of iniquity, which lead to hell. Meeting of Literary Society. Anaheim, January 29th. The members of the Anaheim Literary Society met on Monday evening, Mr. H. S. Austin in the chair. The meeting was called to order and the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Neither of the declaimers being present, the following question was discussed, "Resolved, That the pursuit of an object affords more pleasure than the possession of it." F. W. Athorne opened for the affirmative, followed by his opponent, W. M. McFadden. The Chair gave his decision in favor of the negative. The following officers were then elected to serve for the ensuing term: President, A. G. Beebe; Vice-President, W. M. McFadden; Secretary, V. Montgomery; Treasurer, F. Rimpau; Sergeant-at-Arms, D. R. Payne. M. M. Smith was admitted as a member. The committee to revive public interest in the Society submitted their report, which was adopted, and the necessary alterations ordered to be made. The following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the members of this Society, and the public generally, be invited to examine such person and hear the testimony in relation thereto, and if said Court shall be satisfied that he or she is a vagrant, as above set forth, the same shall authorize and require the officer having him or her in charge or in custody to hire out such vagrant within twenty-four hours, for the highest price that can be had for any term not exceeding one month, the proceeds of such hire to be paid into the town treasury.

Sec. 17. Any person who shall within the limits of this town, draw any firearms, dirk or knife or other deadly weapon against the person of another, or otherwise draw or exhibit such weapon in pride, anger or threatening manner, except in defense of person or property, shall be fined in a sum not exceeding forty dollars and may likewise be imprisoned for a term not exceeding twenty days. Sec. 18. Any person who shall assault or resist the Marshal or any other peace-office of the town, within the corporate limits of the same, while in the discharge of his official duty, or who shall refuse to assist any such officer in the discharge of his duty, when summoned or required so to do by such officer shall, for every such offense, on conviction thereof, be fined in a sum not exceeding thirty dollars. Sec. 19. No person shall be allowed to carry within the corporate limits of this town, any pistol strapped, tied, or attached to, or concealed about his person, and every person so offending on conviction thereof, shall be fined in a sum not exceeding twenty dollars; provided, such prohibition shall not apply to travelers, teamsters, hunters or hunting parties coming to or leaving or going through the town, for the space of one hour before leaving the town or after arriving in it; nor to persons in the military service of the United States or of this State; or members of the militia while on actual duty or parade; nor to any sheriff, marshal, policeman, or other peace-office in the discharge of his duties as such. At the request of many of our subscribers we reproduce the following, which appeared some time ago in the San Francisco Chronicle: Edward Hinde writes as follows to the Liverpool (Eng.) Mercury: "I am willing to risk my reputation as a public man if the worst case of small-pox cannot be effectually cured in three days, simply by cream of tartar. This is the sure and never-failing remedy: One ounce cream of tartar dissolved in a pint of boiling water, to be drank when cold, at short intervals. It can be taken at any time, and is preventive as well as curative. It is known to have cured in a hundred thousand cases without a failure. I have myself restored hundreds by this means. It never leaves a mark, never causes blindness, and always prevents a tedious lingering. If the people would only try it and report all the cures to you, you would require to employ many columns if you gave them publicity." Might it not be well if some of the physicians of this city were to try the above remedy and report upon it? It is at least simple and harmless. San Francisco, Jan. 29th. Skill with the Rifle. The committee submitted their report, which was adopted, and the necessary alterations ordered to be made. The following resolution was adopted: Resolved That the members of this Society, and the public generally, be invited to hand questions for debate to the Secretary from time to time, who shall make a list of the same and submit said list to the Programme Committee at each meeting. A letter from the Downey City Society was read and the Secretary instructed to answer it, insisting upon the discussion taking place here. Messrs. T. Lynill and F. Rimpau were appointed to take charge of the property belonging to the Society, and to procure a hall in which to hold our future meetings. The question for discussion at our next meeting is "Resolved, That skepticism is more benevolent to society than superstition." Affirmative—Theo Lynill, W. M. McFadden; negative—E. F. Cahill, H. S. Austin, V. Montgomery. Declamation—Messrs. Grimshaw and Atham. The Treasurer's report, showing a balance on hand of $24 25, was accepted. The following was adopted as Sec. 4, Art. V, of the by-laws, to wit: If any member fail or neglect to debate or declaim when appointed to do so by the Programme Committee, a fine of 25 cents shall be imposed by the Chair, and recorded by the Secretary against said member for each and every such failure or neglect. Fines so imposed may be remitted by the Society upon a sufficient excuse being shown. The Society then adjourned to meet on the evening of the 19th. VICTOR Montgomery, Secretary.

The Watson Brothers call themselves "noted Western scouts and sharpshooters." At the beginning of their display of marksmanship at a variety theatre in New York, one man holds an apple in his fingers and the other shoots a bullet through it from across the stage; and next the man has risked his fingers become the shooter in a repetition of the feat. Each in turn hits the bull's eye of a target ten times without a miss, the bull's eye being just above the head of the brother who holds the apple. A potato is placed on one's head and shot off by the other, the potato being split to pies and the bullet entering the pad in front of which the holder stands. This feat is repeated many times, the brothers changing attitudes and holding their rifle in positions seeming awkward enough to increase the peril. The brothers wheel quickly and shoot potatoes simultaneously off each other's heads. A candle was snuffed with a bullet, and, as a culmination, one held a lighted cigar in his mouth and the other shot off the ashes, the distance being the entire width of the stage. The brothers, who profess to have acquired their skill by long practice on the plains, use breech-loading rifles, and handle them with wonderful quickness. The younger seems to be the best marksman—at least he fires quicker after getting his weapon to aim, and rarely fails to hit. The older sometimes misses. San Francisco Chronicle: Postage stamps, which have always been for sale by the moneybrokers and stationers, are not now kept, either for accommodation or otherwise. The occasion of this is that previously every one was enabled to make the difference in price between the silver for which they sold and the greenbacks with which they purchased. Greenbacks are now worth a trifle more than silver, and hence the booksellers have discontinued selling them. Thus Whelon was shot on Monday night at Caliente by Under Sheriff Lightner. The wound is probably fatal.

BY TELEGRAPH. Arizona News—Murder by Indians. SAN DIEGO, Feb. 6. A special to the Union yesterday from Tucson says that letters dated at old Camp Crittenden say that ten men had been killed Saturday afternoon and fifteen head of animals stolen by Apaches; that a few days previous some animals had been stolen and one man wounded; that the neighborhood is full of armed Indiana. Word has been sent here for help. The people there are greatly discouraged over their repeated late losses. The Territorial Supreme Court adjourned yesterday, and appointed Governor Safford Supreme Commissioner for the territory. The bill to remove the Capital from Prescott to Phoenix was definitely postponed in the House to-day. The combination of a few days ago was broken. Grasshoppers. OMAHIA, Feb. 6. Grasshopper eggs are about to hatch under the effect of continued warm weather. Steamer Lost. HALIFAX, Feb. 5. The steamer George Washington, of Cromwell, hence for St. Johns, New Fountainland, went ashore at Cape Race and became a total wreck. All hands were drowned. Fourteen bodies have been washed ashore. It is supposed that she drove ashore during a snow storm. Imprisonment of the Returning Board. CHICAGO, Feb. 6. The Inter-Ocean's Washington special says: Wells' testimony was explicit, full and convincing; his explanation much fuller and more plausible than Maidiox's. James Wilson, of Iowa, after having, by an order of Speaker Randall, gained to see Wells and other members of the Returning Board, now confinel in prison, says that Casanave and Kerner are in very pleasant quarters, but Wells and Anderson are in the dungeon, a place not fit for beasts to live in. The walls are damp and slimy water drips from the ceiling. After an interview, Wilson informed Randall that unless better quarters were afforded these prisoners, he would call the attention of the House to it. Randall promised that a change would be made. Only Democrats are admitted to see Wells and Anderson. Littlefield, late this afternoon, was captured by the sergeant-at-arms, taken before Howe's Committee and subjected to a merciless cross-examination, before several witnesses, who are here to contradict him. Littlefield was entirely broken up. A Protest. PROVIDENCE, R. I., Feb. 6. In the House of Representatives today chance for successfully opposing the Committee's action on this subject in the House, but Page intends upon following it to the Senate, where with Sargent's co-operation he expects to secure the insertion and final retention of a respectable appropriation. No appropriation is recommended for the San Joaquim river because last year's is still unexpanded. The Indian appropriation will, as repeatedly from the Senate Committee, increase the items for general services in California, Oregon Arizona and New Mexico, $10,000 each over the amounts voted by the House. The Senate Committee also increase the appropriation of the New Mexico Apache, from $100,000 to $125,000, and restated the usual items omitted by the House for the agency at Hoopa valley, Colorado, and the Papajo agency, Arizona. The item of $100,-000 for the Arizona Apache is unchanged. A telegram, dated Elkow, was received yesterday from ex-postmaster Bent of Los Angeles, asking that action in the nomination of his successor be delayed until his arrival in Washington. But the matter had been already disposed of by Dunkelberger's confirmation. Dispatches since received from Los Angeles are somewhat conflicting, but most of them express satisfaction that preference was given to Dunkelberger, who was a gallant soldier in the war of the rebellion, and still suffers from wounds received in the service of his country. The Electoral Commission. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. The Electoral Commission, after taking a recess of half an hour in the middle of the afternoon, remained in secret session until nearly 8 o'clock this evening when they adjourned to meet again for private conference at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. No votes were taken to-day or any conclusion reached on any point but it was agreed that all pending questions in regard to the admission of evidence shall be decided to-morrow. The Commission. CHICAGO, Feb. 7. The Electoral Commission by their decision to-day, will have before them in the Florida case, three sets of paper; certificates of Hayes electors, those of Tilden electors, and papers containing a record of the Circuit Court of Florida in quo warrantia, and the subsequent action of the Legislature of that State. The Republicans express themselves gratified with the decision of the Commission, while the Democrats are somewhat discouraged. The former claim that no consequence will be attached to the quo warrantious proceedings of the Circuit Court of Florida, as they are now under appeal to the Supreme Court of that State, and therefore, are not final. It seems to be the prevalent belief that the ultimate decision will be in favor of the Hayes electors. The course in this case will be pursued in regard to Louisiana, where there are two alleged malicious electors and more than one return. INCE NO. XIV.

The elections are going in favor of Diaz, who is urged to hasten his return to the Capital, as the Government is in danger of falling to pieces, owing to disassemions in the Cabinet. Business is in a worse condition than ever, and failures are numerous. Some foreigners who favored the Diaz revolution have failed, and the new revolution against Diaz is encouraged by capitalists who make money loans to revolutionists at excessive interest. Escalante loaned Diaz $200,000 toward the payment of $300,000 to the United States, with incoming duties and surety, receiving $25,000. Bands of robbers are appearing everywhere.

The Bacon Mine near Pine Flat, is building a new furnace. This valuable property was opened by an English Company.

A prosperous season is anticipated among mill men. The Oakland mine is the only one now producing metal of all those opened on the Hog's Back range. The mine is working 30 men. The lowest level in the mine is about 300 feet. They run out with one small furnace 300 flasks a month. The ore from this mine closely resembles that from the Almaden mine in Santa Craz.

Harbor Appropriation Bills—The Los Angeles Postmastership. WASHINGTON, February 6th. MIDNIGHT—The River and Harbor Appropriation bill, as completed by the House Conference Committee, contains only the following items for the Pacific Coast: Sacramento and Feather rivers, $20,000; Wilmington Harbor, $30,000; Lower Willamette and Columbia, from Portland to the sea, $20,000; Upper Williamette, $20,000; Upper Columbia and Snake rivers, $15,000. The Committee decided not to recommend any appropriation for continuing the improvement at Oakland Harbor. The cause for this refusal was Piper's opposition, supported by the fact that Major Mendell's report does not advise a further appropriation until the title to the water front and land on which the train and walls stand is finally adjudicated, or otherwise freed from controversy. There is no In connection with the recent "Weinprobe," instituted by some of the Deputies of the German Reichstag, we learn that upon each table in the position of honor, stood a small bottle of the most wonderful wine in the world, the Rosenwein, out of the Rathskeller of Bremen. This wine, the property of the Municipal Council of the old Hassett city, is reputed to be more than two and a half centuries old; it takes its name from a bronze has relief of roses which surmounts it, and is said to have arrived in Bremen in the year 1624. Each little bottle of this celebrated Hock bore round its neck an inscription which professed to give an exact calculation of its value:—"An eight-ohm struck of this wine cost 124,300 gold reichthalers. After the lapse of 221 years—in the year 1845—the struck of eight ohms cost 421,607,100,000 gold reichthalers; one ohm—equal to '180 bottles—cost 52,700,887,500 gold thalers; one bottle cost 292,782,708 gold thalers and 24 groschen; one glass—eight glasses to a bottle—cost 36,597,838 gold thalers and 39 groschen." The "value" has gone on at a rate that appalls the valuer. In the year 1859 a drop of rosenwein was worth 146,391 gold thalers; in 1874 the wine had risen to the price of 585,265 gold thalers and 24 groshes per drop; whilst at the present moment the value of a single drop is reckoned at 1,322,-356 marks of the new imperial coinage. The honor of receiving a bottle of this aged Hoek is more literally "pricesless" than any other honor in the world, and this honor was bestowed once every year by the City of Bremen upon Goethe. The grouse rental of Scotland was estimated some thirty years ago as being of the value of 570,000 per annum, but if that sum was anything like correct at the period indicated, it would prove immensely under the mark as the present time when the shooting and fishery rental of the county of Perth alone exceeds that amount by £10,000, not including the commercial fisheries of the river Tay. Altogether, the shootings and fishings of Scotland let for purposes of sport may be set down as drawing a rent of £200,000. We have not before us the materials for forming an estimate of the value of the English grouse grounds, but many of the Northern counties abound with those birds, and in Northumberland, Cumberland, the county of Durham, Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Derbyshire good grouse shooting is to be had; but it has been calculated that not more than one-third of the national grouse supply is obtained from English moors.
