ANAHEIM VOL. 7. WEEKLY GAZETTE. Established 1870. SATURDAY...APRIL 14, 1877. The San Luis Gazette is informed that sheep will be assessed in that county at seventy-five cents per head. Stock men are dissatisfied thereat and show a disposition in the direction of a vigorous protest. The New York Times says the prospects of Tweed's escape seem fading, and the determination on the part of the prosecution not to settle the case is growing stronger. It is thought that the story of Tweed's wanderings is a mere device of his friends to create sympathy for him. It is now believed that Tweed has nothing to divulge to implicate others. Tweed's release could not be effected for a long time to come, even if he had made a proposition for restitution, which he has not done and probably does not intend to do. The Hollister Telegraph attacks with force the system of high salaries now prevailing in the State and county governments of California. It has a letter from Hon. T. G. Phelps, in which that gentleman says "while the rates paid for wages and the profits of business have decreased more than 50 per cent during the last eight years, salaries of officials and the expenditures of governments." Sunday Morning Chit-Chat. An exchange says that the latest thing out are "mum" parties, where those assembled may nod, wink, grimace, beckon, point, pinch, punch, motion, cough, sneeze, whistle, dance, eat, go to sleep or indulge in pantomine, but whoever forgets and speaks, pays two shillings to a church fund. "Mum" is played differently in Anaheim. Each of the participants hold in their hands seven pieces of pasteboard covered with gaudily colored spots, which with great regularity are thrown one at a time upon the table. Talking is allowed, with certain restrictions, but a fine is imposed for nodding, winking, punching, etc. The fines we are sorry to say, do not help to swell the church fund, but find their way into the capacious pockets of the godless barkeeper. The Methodist church at Downey City has a unique adornment, being surmounted by a hand, with the index finger pointing Heavenward. The hand is four and a half feet high and contains seventy-five feet of lumber. A Roman Catholic Church in Virginia City, has also a very novel decoration. A large iron water pipe is carried up through the steeple to the large cross thereon. The pipe then takes the form of the cross behind which it is hidden, and from holes perforated at proper intervals jets are sent up.

It has a letter from Hon. T. G. Phelps, in which that gentleman says "while the rates paid for wages and the profits of business have decreased more than 50 per cent during the last eight years, salaries of officials and the expenditures of governments, East, have been increased, in many cases, 100 per cent." "But while other cities and States have done badly, we have done worse. In no State are so exorbitant salaries allowed as in this." In Western France much of the farming is still of the most primitive kind, but the sun seems to make up for all shortcomings. "Everything flourishes here," says Miss Edwards, speaking of Anjan; "every fruit you can think of, every vegetable that money can purchase at Covent Garden. Working people eat asparagus, green peas and strawberries every day, as they eat bread and cheese with us. Rich and poor alike have such stores of eatables and drinkables, medicine and clothing at home that there is hardly any more shopping done than if we were living on an ocean island." Without any extraordinary exertions on our part, the circulation of the Gazette has been vary materially increased during the past two months. We doubt whether there is any interior paper more generally known and quoted than the Gazette. Not only has it a large circulation in this county, but it is extensively subscribed for in nearly every county in the State, and a large bundle is sent to different States every week. Anaheim has achieved an almost world-wide prominence, and without laying ourselves liable to the charge of undue self-praise, we may say that it is mainly through our exertions that this locality is so well and so favorably known. We can conceive of no more dastardly, cowardly act than that of attempting to injure another's private reputation and business prospects through the medium of anonymous letters. Unfortunately, there is some small-souled villain in Anaheim who resorts to such measures to gratify his malice. He is probably an individual possessing neither physical nor moral courage sufficient to openly give vent to his feelings in return for some wrong, real or imaginary, and so resorts for vengeance to that weapon of cowards—anonymous latter writing. Yea, it is even probable that he approaches the men whom he maligns with sycophantic smile and with profuse expressions of horror and indignation at the dastardly attempt at character assassination. It has come to light since yesterday that more than one of our business men have had imaginary peccadilloes ascribed to ward. The hand is four and a half feet high and contains seventy-five feet of lumber. A Roman Catholic Church in Virginia City, has also a very novel decoration.

From the top of the cross and from the end of each arm large streams ascend to the height of about twenty-five feet, and between these are thrown up a great number of larger jets. This novel fountain was not constructed for mere adornment. It is intended for use in case of the breaking out of a large fire as a protection to the spire and the roof. The New York Herald, in noticing the sermon of Felix Adler on "Priests and the Priesthood," extracts from which were published in the Gazette a couple of weeks ago, severely, and we think justly, criticises the learned Jew. It says: "Mr. Felix Adler seems to believe neither in the priesthood nor in the religious laity. His name is entirely appropriate, apparently, for he has set himself the gracious task of adding the public mind on questions of theology. He is one of those destructionists who delight in satirizing Christianity, but who are perfectly willing to live under its wings. He speaks of priests and ministers as "poor, puny babblers," and yet because there is a priesthood and a ministry, he can send his children to school and rest securely in that religious public opinion which is willing to tolerate even his bad logic and ingratitude. How these materialists can consent to receive so much at the hands of a blind faith which they despise is something we could never understand. We have often wondered why they do not colonize and try the experiment of living under their own principles. That, however, has never occurred to them, and probably will not so long as Christianity is willing not only to protect them, but also to allow them to grumble to their heart's content. A fatherless Danbury boy was pruning down a corn with a razor, Sunday morning, when his mother caught him by the hair, and electrified him with the startling remark: "What do you 'spose your father in Heaven' think to look down and see his own son a hackin' corn with his razor?" The Russo-Greek church has missionaries in Alaska, and native converts are numerous. The genuineness of the conversions, however, may well be questioned, judging by the following in the Moscow Gazette: "The Kososh of Sitka, when urged to embrace Orthodoxy and send some of their boys for education in the Orthodox school, turn to the missionary and ask, 'How much will be paid us for letting our children be educated in the Orthodox school?' One asked how much he would get for embracing Orthodoxy. When the Orthodox bishop was visiting Sitka, one of the candidates for baptism, who was dirty and half clothed, was told that he must at the time of baptism be properly dressed— Jonah in his unwilling pledge to the decision of modern degree of wonder, how first, and second at the science which laughs at spurs the Sermon on the for a whale" and brings Jonah still occupying a stomach.

The New York Herald has a long article on the subject, in which we find it stated that from the middle of October up to the present time almost every steamer leaving New York for Liverpool or London has carried shipments varying from 500 to 3000 barrels. The extent of the business can be judged from the fact that the sales of American apples at Liverpool alone reached over 90,000 barrels in the month of December last. The English people have received the large quantities shipped this season very favorably, and from Liverpool the other cities of Manchester, Birmingham, Hall, Bristol, and in fact almost every town in England, has been supplied, and "American apples" have become literally as familiar there as "household words." The greater portion of the apples shipped from New York are grown in Niagara, Orleans, and Wayne counties in the western part of the State. They are brought to the city by railroad, and are inspected, branded and shipped in most cases direct on the steamer from the railway depot. On the steamers they are generally carried in the steerage, and through the fall and winter no special care has been found necessary. In warm weather, however, arrangements are made to fill and refrigerate compartments on some of the steamers, and a couple of weeks ago the first shipment in this manner was made on the Algeria, of the Cunard line, which carried 2,200 barrels. The genuineness of the conversions, however, may well be questioned, judging by the following in the Moscow Gazette: "The Kolosh of Sitka, when urged to embrace Orthodoxy and send some of their boys for education in the Orthodox school, turn to the missionary and ask, 'How much will be paid us for letting our children be educated in the Orthodox school?' One asked how much he would get for embracing Orthodoxy. When the Orthodox bishop was visiting Sitka, one of the candidates for baptism, who was dirty and half clothed, was told that he must at the time of baptism be properly dressed—that he must have a clean, new shirt, and that he must put on shoes and stockings. The Kolosh asked, in astonishment, "But will not the Russians provide all these things as they used to?" He said that if they would not give him coverlets and a shirt he did not care to be baptised." The venerable Dr. Irensius Prime is opposed to women preachers. One of his reasons therefore is thus given: A few short years ago, a woman, esteemed by those who knew her, was filled with a desire to be put into the pulpit as a preacher. Endowed with great fluency of speech, and intense fervor of spirit, she mistook these for a divine call, and entered upon the work of an evangelist. Crowds flocked to hear her, and many thought her inspired, so great was the energy with which she taught. Soon she became distinguished as a revivalist, and was, and is now, employed in the promotion of those excitements which sometimes are and again are not, gennine revivals of religion. She takes the lead of the meetings and the measures. She is the director. And what is the effect of this manner of life upon herself? She has become so thoroughly unsexed, and spoiled of the modesty becoming a woman, and inseparable from a true woman, that in her pursuit of persons to whom she wishes to speak, in her attempts to get them to come forward for prayers, she walks over the tops of the pews to save going into the aisles and doors. Such conduct would be indecorous for a man. In a woman it is indecent. She does not wear the garments of a man, yet she does things which no right man regards with any other sentiment than disgust. Naturalists cannot agree even among themselves. They are by no means unanimous in their opposition to the Bible. The curious part of it is that when a scientific man CIM GAZ ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1877. accepts the Scriptures he goes further than is always necessary. A gentleman of this kind has been lecturing on Jonah and presenting to delighted congregations diagrams of the throat of the whale that swallowed him. He says that the muscles of the above mentioned throat are so elastic that if its owner were really in earnest, and should make a great gulp, then Jonah would slip down with perfect ease. Whether these diagrams are copies of photographs taken on the spot, or whether they were taken at the request of the whale, who held his mouth open for that purpose because he felt insulted at the popular estimation in which his alimentary canal was held, we are unable to say. Poor Jonah! we have always hoped that part of the Bible which gives the history of his decensus in Averno might be regarded as a parable with a deep moral significance attached, but if science comes forward and produces the fish and exhibits the throat with glacial marks made by the shoes of Jonah in his unwilling passage, why we bow to the decision of modern research, and accept the literal statement. We can’t resist a degree of wonder, however, at the threat first, and second at the curious logic of that science which laughs at Adam and Eve and spurs the Sermon on the Mount, but “bobs for a whale” and brings him on land, with Jonah still occupying a corner room in his stomach. Swedenborg says that the fact of sex obtains in the other world as well as here. How he knows we cannot tell. Nothing is definitely stated in Holy Writ, and he must Political Gossip. The Star gives the following bit of political gossip in its own peculiar racy way: Although it is quite five months to the election, there is not absolute quiet in the ranks of either party. It is understood that the managers of the Democracy are going to insist that no Republicans shall have positions on the Police force, and that Mr. Gerkins himself, although he has made an admirable officer, must step down and out. It is understood that Major Mitchell, who stands in the way of perfect harmony in the Sheriff’s office, will be given Mr. Gerkins’ place. It is the determination of the Democratic managers to care all the old plugs who want to go to the Senate until they get them pledged in the Convention, and then to quietly nominate Major E. M. Ross, who will make the best run of any man in the party. Stephen White will be coaxed by some of the slicks manipulators to run for District Attorney before the Convention, and then they will sit down on him just as they did on Ned Huber, last Fall, and thus punish him for skylaiking with the Blacks two years ago. Keep your eye peeled, Steve, or they’ll be too many for you. Major Mitchell out of the way as Chief of Police, Rowan and Alexander will go before the Convention for Sheriff, and Tommie will get the nomination. Charlie Miles and Potts will be renominated, and it will not as soon us to hear that our present excellent City Treasurer (L. M. Hellman,) will be nominated by the Democrats for County Treasurer. The Republicans are not showing their hands much, except that BRANDY. A Full Synopsis of the Regulations Relative to Banded Warhouses. WASHINGTON, April 9. Following is a full synopsis of the forthcoming regulations relative to the establishment of bonded warehouses for the storage of native grape brandy and its transportation and exportation on bond, prepared by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, under authority of the law enacted March 3d. The regulations provide for the establishment of special bonded warehouses, not exceeding 10 in number in any one Collection District, for the exclusive storage of such brandy, and provide that such warehouse may be a room, or a whole building, if the premises are situated in a seaport or market town. The usual precautionary requirements regarding insurance and security of buildings are specified in the regulations. Each warehouse is to be in charge of an officer assigned by the Internal Revenue Bureau. In general, the regulations relating to the establishment and continuance of grain distilleries are followed as far as applicable. Under the head of removals in bond, provision is made for removals, 1st—from distilleries to warehouses located in the same district; 2d—from distilleries to warehouses located in other districts; and, under removals from warehouses, provision is made for: 1st, removals from one warehouse to another warehouse in the same district; second, for removals from one warehouse to another warehouse in another district; 3d, removals for export; 4th, removals on payment of tax. In all cases of removal Jonah in his unwilling passage, why we bow to the decision of modern research, and accept the literal statement. We can't resist a degree of wonder, however, at the throat first, and second at the curious logic of that science which laughs at Adam and Eve and spurs the Sermon on the Mount, but "bobs for a whale" and brings him on land, with Jonah still occupying a corner room in his stomach. Swedenborg says that the fact of sex obtains in the other world as well as here. How he knows we cannot tell. Nothing is definitely stated in Holy Writ, and he must therefore base his argument on feminine obstinacy and persistency. For if she will she will, you may depend on it; And if she won't she won't, so there's an end only. Still there is one passage from which a mighty inference may be drawn. It is that verse which declares that there was silence for half an hour. The conclusion is inevitable that up to the present moment Swedenborg's statement is incorrect. What may occur in future is left in doubt, but judging from our knowledge of the other sex and comparing it to the verse alluded to, we are compelled to say that the chances of some people are very slim indeed. Mrs. General D. D. Colton has donated to the new Presbyterian church, at Colton, San Bernardino county, a bell weighing 800 pounds. The church is nearly completed. A Novel Temperance Speech. During the past week there has been a series of very interesting temperance meetings held in Los Angeles. Among the speakers on Friday evening was A. Brunson Esq., whose remarks are thus reported by the Herald: Satan rebuking sin never did any harm in the world, and it may have been productive of much good; if his Satanic majesty ever did such a thing; and that was the only apology which he had for appearing before them tonight. In the language of the Apocalypse Paul, Rev. Henry Ward Decker, Rev. M. Hickey or some other divine, he felt that it was good to be here. [Laughter and applause.] He told of a visit to the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, in which he went to the top story in an elevator with an end-man of a ministrel tower. When they arrived at the upper story the end-man knocked at a door and asked, "Is God in?" That was the nearest to Heaven the end-man had ever got. [Laughter.] The answer coming back here to night was: "The Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence and bow before Him." [Applause.] This was from the cellar of intercession to the temple of sobriety. He dwelt upon the late sage of small-pox and compared it with the more fatal and wide-spread scourge of intolocation. He detailed the circumstances of McDonald's murder of his wife. Alcohol was responsible for that deed yet the spot where he caught the infection no card upon it causing the unway to beware. It still stands a whitened sepulchre without and filled with rottenness and dead men's bones within. [Applause.] The first shipment of freight to Clyde came was for two barrels of whiskey and two barrels of flour; and the great wonder of the population was what they were going to do with so much flour. [Laughter.] He often visited that he was a clergyman instead of a lawyer, because it is so much sit down on him just as they did on Ned Huber, last Fall, and thus punish him for skylaaking with the Blacks two years ago. Keep your eye peeled, Steve, or they'll be too many for you. Major Mitchell out of the way as Chief of Police, Rowan and Alexander will go before the Convention for Sheriff, and Tommie will get the nomination. Charlie Miles and Potts will be renominated, and it will not ask onish us to hear that our present excellent City Treasurer (I. M. Hellman.) will be nominated by the Democrats for County Treasurer. The Republicans are not showing their hands much, except that they are talking of running Gen. Banning for Senator, if he will consent to run. It would be nip and tuck between Banning and Ross. A great many Democrats want to have Col Smith nominated for Senator. He is a very fine gentleman, a good lawyer, and an earnest, uncompromising Democrat. Messrs. Bent, Bixby, and some others, are talked of for members of the Assembly, by the Republicans, any one of whom would make a strong run. If Gen. Banning declines a nomination for Senator, a great effort will be made to get Mr. H. D. Barrows to accept the nomination, which would also be a very strong one for the Republicans. Mr. Lord's name has also been much mentioned, but we trust he will decline, as we want to have the pleasure of seeing him elected Mayor of this city next year, as he most certainly will if he runs. The friends of Mr. E. E. Hewitt will earnestly press his claims for County Treasurer, and his friends constitute a very large crowd, and are far from being confined to the Democratic party. A Warning to Husbands. The narrow escape of the Jansen family, at Dixon, from death by poison the other day, both points to a moral and adorns a tale. The bald statement of facts given to the press is to the effect that Mrs. Jansen was milking the cows, and that Mr. Jansen "thought he would make himself useful and set to work to prepare breakfast." Everybody can fancy how he went about it, because every husband has tried the same experiment at some time, and every wife has had the unalloyed joy of watching his frightful blunders. But Mr. Jansen was more than commonly unlucky, for it seems that he attempted the bold but unwarrantable innovation of making the biscuit with strychnine instead of salamina (perhaps thinking that as they both began with an S it made no difference), and the result was that the whole family only escaped death by a scratch. Of course, the local account of the affair is imperfect. Doubledless Mr.Jansen was reluctant to tell the whole truth about the unfortunate business, and perhaps he was right. But to the keen perceptions of those who have "been there," it must be tolerably apparent that he had been previously referring to the superior style of biscuit-making practiced when he was a boy, and that he then, by a natural sequence, undertook to show his wife "show his mother used to make bread." His punishment, it must be admitted, was somewhat disproportionate to the gravity of the offense, but it is all the more calculated to create a profound and salutary impression upon those thoughtless husbands who are in the habit of (metaphorically) throwing their mothers in the faces of their wives, and who have, perhaps, unwittingly, thereby reduced those afflicted ladies to the very utmost restrainable point of ex-taining to the establishment and continuance of grain distilleries, are followed as far as applicable. Under the head of removals in bond, provision is made for removals, lst—from distilleries to warehouses located in the same district; 2d—from distilleries to warehouses located in other districts; and under removals from warehouses, provision is made for lst; removals from one warehouse to another warehouse in the same district; 3d; removals for export; 4th; removals on payment of tax. In all cases of removal from distilleries, the distiller is required, or about the first of each month, to notify the Collector that he intends, instead of immediately paying the tax on spirits produced during the previous month, to remove the same to a special bonded warehouse, and thereupon the Inspector is required to detail a gauger to gauge, mark, and stamp the brandy with the stamp provided by this Act. In case the spirits are for deposit in a warehouse in the same district, the distiller executes a bond, conditioned for the transportation of the brandy to a warehouse and its withdrawal thereof on payment of tax within 3 years, or otherwise according to law. In case the removal is to another district, two bonds will be required, the distiller executing a transportation bond conditioned for delivery of spirits in the warehouse; and the owner or distiller executes to the Collector in charge of the warehouse a warehousing bond similar to that required upon the deposit of spirits in a grain distillery bonded warehouse. Provision also is made concerning necessary entries and reports for the immediate assessment and collection on all deficiencies, should any occur. Spirits deposited in a warehouse may be removed to warehouses in the same or in other districts, upon payment of tax, or for consumption, as before stated. Under head of removals from one warehouse to another warehouse in the same district, the regulations require the execution of one bond only; in case of removals from a distillery to a warehouse in the same district, and in case of removals from one warehouse to another warehouse in another district, two bonds are required, one being a transport bond; and, in case of removals from distilleries to warehouses in other districts, provision is made for fixing a second stamp, indicative of such removal, as required by the act; under the head of removals for transporting. The rules governing removals for export under the provisions of section 3,330 of the revised statutes known as "regulations," series six number seven supplement number one," with slight modification; are held to apply to exportation made under the provisions of this act. The regulations concerning withdrawals on payment of taxes, are in all respects except as to necessary variance in descriptions; similar to those prescribed in the regulations; series six number seven; concerning the withdrawal of spirits from a grain distillery; on payment of taxes; or the regulations concerning the proof required in case of withdrawal.

To work radical reform, men must be made familiar with better things. You are too distant, too uncharitable towards the vendor of and consumer of intoxicating drinks.

Our libraries should be purified. He knew something from experience what appetite was. The worst of human woes, the most accursed of wants, fell scorpions is thirst; and he who drinks and he who has been drunk knows that there have been times in his experience, many of them, when he was battling with thirst, that a cup of cold water from the hand of a friend would have quenched the burning and saved the drunkard. Give that cup of water, and "verily I say unto you, you shall in no wise lose your reward." Exercise charity to the enemy; you don't know his trials. In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand, for how canst thou know which shall foster this or that. Finally love the erring, for love is the falfling of the law and God is love. The Pacific Mail works, at Benicia, have been on the market quite a while for sale or lease. They are now withdrawn and the Benicia people hope the fact means that the company have some intentions towards utilizing them. The San Francisco Alta (Republican) says: The report from Los Angeles, that John G. Downey would accept the position of Federal Senator to succeed A. A. Sargent, in case the Democrats should have a majority in the next Legislature, will be read with more interest by many of the old residents of San Francisco than by those who have arrived here in late years. In 1860 Governor Downey rendered incestimable service to this city by vetoing the Bulkhead bill, which proposed to give control of the entire Water Front, with the privilege of collecting tolls and waftage for twenty years or more, to a private corporation under such circumstances that the burden upon commerce would have been oppressive and the profit for the grandees of the proposed franchise great. Both branches of the Legislature adopted this inquiry and Governor Downey crushed it with his veto, as Lieut.-Governor Samuel Purdy had seven years earlier defeated the fraudulent bill to extend the Water Front out 200 yards into the bay; and give two-thirds of the lots to corrupt politicians who had Peter Smith claims to them. The escape of the city on both occasions was narrow from gigantic schemes of plunder, and our citizens should never forget their obligations to the man who defeated these great frauds. We prefer the election of a Republican Senator; but if we must have a Democrat, we do not know of anyone whose success would in some respects give us more satisfaction than John G. Downey. A Parisian matrimonial advertisement says: "A grandmother, who is infirm, wishes to marry her granddaughter, eighteen years of age, pretty, honorable, and with twelve million francs, to a young man who is serious, and has a title and some fortune." Another advertisement runs: "A gentleman of mature age, and a literary man, will marry a lady of his own country and political party (anti-Romanpartist), if she be forty years of age and have more than forty thousand francs in the funds. If not, no." GAZETTE. NO. 26. The Boiling Lake of Dominica. Mr. William Gifford Palgrave, the Arbian traveler, British Consul and English novelist, has recently visited and described this wonderful Boiling Lake. In the summer of 1875 the scientific world was surprised and interested to hear that a lake of constantly boiling water had been discovered upon or near the summit of the mountainous West India island of Dominica. But where was Dominica? It is not to be wondered at that this question was asked both in England and America. The fact that the negro nation which occupies the eastern portion of the great island of San Domingo or Hayti calls itself the Dominican Republic naturally led to the supposition that this might be the island meant. It was in reality, however, another and very different one, the loftiest of the Lesser Antilles, a British colony lying between the French islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, and which, instead of being as large as Ireland, contains about three hundred square miles. Here we were told, lay a boiling lake high among the mountains, and hitherto unknown to man. It was not a mere collection of geysers or hot springs, but an expanse of water large enough to deserve the name of a lake, and its presence explained the cloud of white vapor so often seen floating over the higher parts of the island. Last summer this lake was visited by Mr. Palgrave, and he has now contributed to Macmillan's Magazine the first detailed description of it given to the general public. It seems certain that the lake was never seen by any European prior to the month of January 1875, and probably it had never been seen by any native. Traditions pointed to its existence, but these appear to have been based upon the fact that a stream of warm and milky water, known as the Sulphur river, rushes headlong from the highlands down to the sea, and a boiling source seemed necessary to account for the heat of its waves. This, however might have had its origin in one of A Reminiscence of Parley Pratt. We find the following communication in the San Francisco Bulletin of March 31st. In last Monday's Bulletin you publish an article on the "taking off" of Elder Pratt. On reading it I was reminded of an incident in the life of the Elder which occurred in this city in 1855. In that year, you will recall, the gubernatorial election took place. John Bigler was the Democratic candidate for Governor, and J. Neely Johnson, the Know-Nothing candidate. Some two weeks before the election came off, Parley Pratt made his appearance in San Francisco, ostensibly to look after the interest of the "Saints," but as subsequent events proved, he had "other fish to dry." He accidentally fell in with some of the leaders of the Democratic party, and intimated that for a small consideration the vote of San Bernardino county would be cast solid for Bigler. The county at that time was settled almost entirely by Mormons who had emigrated from Salt Lake. General Estell, who was at that time in the front rank of the leaders of the Know-Nothing party, got wind of what was going on, and managed to get an interview with Parley. This occurred in the office of the Citizen, on Merchant street. The paper was the leading organ of the Know-Nothing party for the State. At the time Willard B. Farwall and E. Gould Buffum were its editors, and the writer of this was one of the proprietors. The conference took place in an upper front room. General Estell; Parley Pratt; Mr. Farwell and myself were present. General H. got at what the Elder wanted. He stated that there were about 500 Mormon voters in San Bernardino county, and that although they were opposed to the Democrats on account of the treatment received at the hangles of that party in Illinois, Missouri and Iowa, they would like to get something for the benefit of the Church. The sum of $1,500 or $2,000 was agreed upon and paid down. Last summer this lake was visited by Mr. Palgrave, and he has now contributed to Macmillan's Magazine the first detailed description of it given to the general public. It seems certain that the lake was never seen by any European prior to the month of January 1875, and probably it had never been seen by any native. Traditions pointed to its existence, but these appear to have been based upon the fact that a stream of warm and milky water, known as the Sulphur river, rushes headlong from the highlands down to the sea, and a boiling source seemed necessary to account for the heat of its waves. This, however, might have had its origin in one of the so-called soufrières so abundant in the volcanic islands of the West Indies, consisting of the floor of some dying crater, where tepid, hot or boiling springs give forth steam, gases, and occasionally lofty jets of water. Indeed, it turned out that the boiling lake was situated in a soufière the most active and extensive in the entire Archipelago. Two expeditions to this region had preceded that of Mr. Palgrave, who was fortunate in having for a companion and guide Dr. Nicholls, a young medical officer of the colony, and one of the original party of discovery. The starting place is Roseau, the principal town of Dominica, on the south coast. Hence you ride up the valley on ponies to a hamlet 1,500 feet above the sea. Beyond this work is all on foot, first through the magnificent scenery of the West Indian tropical forest, next amid thorny and prickly underbrush, and then up and down the sides of gullies, where the climbing is slippery and risky, and involves fantastic capers, calling forth, says Mr. Palgrave, an occasional English ejaculation, the same that Byron declares to have no like for emphasis in any other language. While moving through a labyrinth of small trees the travelers came suddenly upon a sheer precipice with so little warning that they just escaped tumbling several hundred feet down into the Grand Soufrières which lay below. This is a half extinct crater, paved with soft ashes, and bubbling with innumerable mineral springs of white, black and red waters, which mingle and rush out of one side in a scalding hot torrent. There is but little vegetation to cheer "the demoniac grandeur of this semi-internal hollow;" most plants wither in the fumes of the vapor. The Black Country of England, says Mr. Palgrave, is a wierd place, and suggests weird ideas about traversed by night or by day; but it is "mild-domestic" compared to nature's White Country, the sulphur region of Dominica. The boiling lake lies northeast of the first crater, about an hour's climb, being separated from it by a second crater with steep edges, nearly burned out and comparatively quiet. We took the intervening barrier at a run," says the narrator, "and checked ourselves short at the top. A few steps more would have sent us head foremost into the boiling lake. A strange sight to see, and not less awful than strange. Fenced in by steep, mostly indeed, perpendicular banks, varying from 60 to 100 feet high, cut out in ashes and pumice, the lake rages and roars like a wild beast in its cage; the surface, to which such measurements as we could make assigned about two hundred yards by length is that of a giant seething caldron, covered with vapid steam, through which, when the veil is for a moment blown apart by the mountain breeze, appears a confused mass of tossing waves, crossing and lashing in every direction—a chaos of boiling waters." In addition to their observations of the dimensions of the lake—about 600 by 300 feet—and its general appearance, the travelers ascertained that it was fifty or sixty feet deep within six feet from the shore; that it is a little over 2,400 feet above the level of the island.

Says the San Diego Union: We took a drive over the mesa yesterday afternoon at the invitation of Mr. Journeay, to see the great curiosity popularly known as "Capron's Bulldozer" in operation. We refer to the machine of the Granular Fuel Company, which is turning out the best firewood in the world at the rate of many cords per day (we don't know how many, but it works with truly wonderful rapidity) with the power of a small steam engine; four men and a horse. The material is the common brush which grows so densely on the mesa. Two men cut it and the horse drags it to the machine, into which it is stuffed just as fast as two men can feed it, coming out in nice little sticks, four to six inches long, a wagon load every five minutes. This machine is a Yankee invention for utilizing a growth of wood that would otherwise be nearly worthless, and it has for some years been successfully operated in New England. The San Diego Granular Fuel Company have obtained the exclusive right for California, and they are about to revolutionize the wood market here. The power of this machine is somewhat extraordinary; we picked up pieces of the iron-hard roots of the brush as big around as a man's leg put as smoothly as a piece of cheese. The inventor told Col. Capron it would eat bar iron, and we are quite prepared to believe it. Making fun of Marriage. Strawbridge's Methodist Chapel, Newark, was crowded on Monday night at a musical and literary entertainment. At the close of the exercise, a bridal party entered and walked up the aisle to the stage, where Prof. Armstrong, dressed in the robes of an Episcopal clergyman, read the marriage service. To the unask questions, qualified by the word "not," the bride and groom answered, "I will not." Ew of the spacers heard the responses, and therefore the ceremony was regarded as genuine. Miss Lizzie Tremble was the mooch bride, Mr. Ernest Benson the groom. Yesterday the performances was the uppermost topic in the church circles, and Episcopalians were very indignant—New York Sun.
