WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...APEIL 14, 1877. The Prescott Enterprise says that Arizona is a bad place for laborers to go unless they have sufficient money to keep them for some time. There are hundreds of unemployed men in that territory, many of them "flat broke." A judicial decision of interest to the curious portion of female humanity has just been rendered by a gallant Kentucky Judge in the case of Mrs. Eliza Gerham, who was a voluntary spectator at a prize fight. The Judge dismissed the case, remarking that "woman's strong natural curiosity was sufficient excuse for her going anywhere to see anything." Exorinis is the name of a test-paper sold in Paris for the purpose of detecting fraudulent coloration of wines. With the genuine red wine the color produced is a grayish blue which becomes lead colored on drying. With magenta and other aniline colors, it turns a carmine red; with ammoniacal cochineal, a pale violet; with elderberries, the petals of roses, etc., a green; with Pernambuco wood and phytolacca, a dirty yellow; with extract of indigo, a deep blue. The manipulation required is very simple. Telegraphy has been often pointed out as a business at which lovely women could make her mark and earn a livelihood. But, alas! this avenue of escape from dependence on Man is likely to be closed. Witness the fate of Miss Sallie Whaley, heretofore manageress of the Guadalupe telegraph office. She has been superseded because the Company could not afford to hire a man to climb telegraph poles when repairs were necessary. Agility and pants were the only desideratum in Miss Sallie's case. Prop. Swino's paper declares the jury system an utter failure, and says: "That things can long go on as they are now going does not seem probable. We must either reform the laws, or must expect a murderer to be taken care of by the nearest relative FAIRS. For many years annual agricultural fairs have been held at Los Angeles, which have drawn the attention of visitors from all parts of the State, and added materially to the prosperity of the city. The exhibition of agricultural products, for which the organization was originally intended, has been entirely supervised by horse racing. Many good and sufficient reasons can be given for the power gained by this class of amusement, chief of which is that the products of the county, both in stock and otherwise, were extremely limited, on account of the scarcity of the farming population. Our fairs have now become mainly an institution for the display of fast horses, the majority of which are raised in sections outside of our own. Within the last six or eight years the farming community in the southern part of the county has assumed remarkable proportions, and can well assert its right to recognition. A series of agricultural exhibitions could be inaugurated in this section of the county which would compare favorably with any in the State. Anaheim being the nearest access, the centre of the valley, and the largest and best known point south of Los Angeles, is the most fitting place for such an exhibition. The establishment of a series of agricultural fairs would be of incalculable benefit to the farmers as a means of disseminating information and bringing before the public the result of experiment with our different soils. The question of fruit raising is one that is agitating the entire southern portion of the State, and everything which by exhibition would bring light upon the best and most profitable methods of cultivation, pruning and grafting would excite universal attention. An exhibition of the immense crops that can be produced upon our lands would do more to convince the new comer that this is the spot for him to locate, than all the advertising pamphlets that could be written. Henceforward, stock raising will become a part of the farmer's legitimate occupation, and as the natural grasses become scarce, more attention will be paid to the quality of the animal raised. There are now some of the finest specimens of blooded cattle here in the vicinity of Anaheim that can be produced in California. Everyone will be knowledgeable only by observing. The honey man section is with few exceptions rels and cans and shipped to us. It seems to us that there is no amount of improvement in preparing the honey for the market; a little effort in that direction—the profits of the business—needed to a great extent although the cans are careful prepared before the honey is still they are not a desirable market. In the first place altogether too large to meet sale. This is a complaint by the San Francisco merchant objection is that a coal oil tractic article when placed stores; and again, a coal oil to bear a pressure of thirty pounds nearly double that amount of honey which it weighs nearly double that amount losses are occasioned by. In conversation with a merchant day, he remarked that custom to buy honey by the pound If it could be put in small cases and packed in cases, one or two case; and sold in that way by the case, it would meet with sale. The establishment of and packing house in our would soon obviate these dining ready markets and adopt best calculated to secure good business is destined to assume portions in this immediate sooner it is thoroughly systematized profitable it will be to the proper official to the locality. ANAHEIM AS A HEALTH For the last year Southern passed through an ordeal diseases, which have furnished that there is something in health, and has pointed out spots with unerring certain of diphtheria visited this season and its fatal touch rested town but our own. One case was all that the records coul had been brought from PROF. SWING's paper declares the jury system an utter failure, and says: "That things can long go on as they are now going does not seem probable. We must either reform the laws, or must expect a murderer to be taken care of by the nearest relative of the slain. The sense of justice in the community will burst forth like a long smouldered flame. A grave mistake of the public lies in its scolding at the criminal instead of at the laws, the juries and the governors. If a man commits a crime, that is his fault; it is the fault of the public if he is not punished." The Stockton Independent, in speaking of the causes which rendered the best sugar at Sacramento a failure, says: "The manufacture of beet sugar has been abandoned in Sacramento for many reasons: the terrible ravages of the army worm in the beet fields, destroying the source of supply and injuring the quality of the beets; the inadaptability of the soil for production of a superior quality of beets, and general mismanagement and business complication." This course does not prove that the business under more favorable conditions would be a failure. As we have often stated, we think an enterprise of this kind in the vicinity of Anaheim would be a good investment. The Chinese question has commenced to worry the Webfeet. A farmer writes to the Hillsboro Independent: "Objection to the Chinese may be fairly made because of their unsuitableness to American society, and because we do not want here a people who cannot become citizens. But there is no good objection to our hiring the cheapest labor we can get. We are bound to do it. We do it because it is business to do so, and all the objections of white laborers who want more pay than they earn, will amount to nothing." A letter has been addressed to the "boss" of a Chinese wash house at Eugene City, declaring that unless he and his associates leave the town they "will be butchered like hogs" within twelve days. The letter purports to have been written "by order of the committee." It is in the hands of the Sheriff, who is on the lookout for the parties. In the trial of a suit brought against a Chinese doctor in Santa Barbara, for practicing medicine without a license, some singular instances of child-like faith and credulity were brought to light. One of the doctor's patients was silly enough to believe that a twenty-dollar gold piece, boiled in a cup of tea, would cure his ailments. It was once our fortune, many years ago, to accompany a sick friend, three times a week, to the apartments of Dr. Li Po Tal, probably the most pruning and grazing would excite universal attention. An exhibition of the immense crops that can be produced upon our lands would do more to convince the new comer that this is the spot for him to locate, than all the advertising pamphlets that could be written. Henceforward, stock raising will become a part of the farmer's legitimate occupation, and as the natural grasses become scarce, more attention will be paid to the quality of the animal raised. There are now some of the finest specimens of blooded cattle here in the vicinity of Anaheim that can be produced in California. Everyone will be anxious to secure the best of breeds, and a general gathering will show by comparison the relative merits of the various classes. In sheep we have already large numbers of fine woolled stock, and we are convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt as to what breeds are the most suitable for our natural grasses. The kind of sheep best suited for the farmer to raise in this locality has not yet been determined, and as experiment is the only way we can settle the question, the bringing together of the different classes of sheep raised is the quickest and most reliable method of obtaining the facts. It is a fact known to comparatively few that we have in this immediate vicinity some of the best horses in the county. It is seldom that specimens of our fast stock are produced, because we have no proper place prepared for exhibitions of speed. Within easy distance from town are numbers of tracts, any of which could be converted into a park for the exhibition of stock and produce. With an association, formed for agricultural exhibitions and the promotion and protection of farming interests, no difficulty would be found in obtaining and supporting a convenient place for such displays, and the result of such a movement would not only be to bring strangers and money to our town and secure investments in our locality, but it would serve to attract attention to and open a market for the stock, fruit and other productions of our district. We hope that before the summer is over an effort will be made by some of our energetic and go-ahead farmers to inaugurate such a movement, with a determination to make it the success which a little force and vim is certain to achieve. THE BEE KEEPERS. It is an old story and a true one that one half of the world does not know how the other half lives. It is remarkably true in regard to a large number of settlers in our immediate vicinity, who are daily traffickers with the merchants of our town. A trip up Santiago Canyon will throw light upon a large part of the great mystery of where the money comes from. This canyon is one of the most romantic spots to be found in the whole of Southern California. It extends into the mountain for many miles, branching and delving its way into the eternal hills in a hundred different directions. It is filled with oak, sycamore and willow timber for its entire length, save when at intervals along the bank of the creek may be found clear spots of two or three acres. Above the mountain air and rest can forego many of the complex life. Of watering places. The only thing wanting which, in a climate so equal are not absolute necessities mer months. During this time parties are to be found points along the coast, some throughout the entire summer their avocations greatly lie. When the weather becomes tains, every stage which leaves passengers for the justly Springs, which are considered remedy for rheumatism, pre-other disorders. Remain sometimes effected, and also are more or less relieved. Rest and diversion, the vice offers many inducements. Sport with a gun, there is In the trial of a suit brought against a Chinese doctor in Santa Barbara, for practicing medicine without a license, some singular instances of child-like faith and credulity were brought to light. One of the doctor's patients was silly enough to believe that a twenty-dollar gold piece, boiled in a cup of tea, would cure his ailments. It was once our fortune, many years ago, to accompany a sick friend, three times a week, to the apartments of Dr. Li Po Tai, probably the most famous Chinese physician in San Francisco. It would tax the credulity of those not conversant with the facts to be told of the immense patronage enjoyed by this celestial quack, and the blind confidence reposed in him by his patrons. There were seldom fewer than thirty patients constantly waiting in his rooms, either for consultation with the Doctor or for medicine, which sometimes consumed hours in its preparation. Two years ago Geo. Bidwell, the notorious Bank of England forger, was transferred to Dartmoor prison. Soon after, he was apparently seized with paralysis of the lower limbs and has ever since been an inmate of the infirmary. Lately a new Governor was appointed at Dartmoor, who was skeptical as to the genuineness of Bidwell's illness. The prisoner was ordered to get up and dress, but positively refused; thereupon he was put in a cold cell, and there left unclothed until he chose to dress. Within an hour he jumped up and put on his clothes, and evidently a perfect cure had been effected, but when he was stripped a curious discovery was made. Beneath his armpits were found a tame mouse and a rat. These he said he had caught in the infirmary, and had petted and fed with ornams for many months. Daggers, poinards and arrows are worn in the hair, giving one quite a fierce appearance. The rate of taxation in San Diego county the ensuing year will be $1.75 on the $100. From 80,000 to 100,000 horns were weekly used in Aberdeen for comb making until the importation of cattle was prohibited. The stoppage of supply has caused great stagnation. knowledge can only be obtained by careful observation. The honey manufactured in this section is with few exceptions packed in barrels and cans and shipped to San Francisco. It seems to us that there is room for a vast amount of improvement in the manner of preparing the honey for the market, and that a little effort in that direction would enhance the profits of the business. Coal oil cans are used to a great extent in shipping, and although the cans are carefully cleaned and prepared before the honey is put into them, still they are not a desirable article in the market. In the first place, the package is altogether too large to meet with general sale. This is a complaint frequently made by the San Francisco merchants. Another objection is that a coal oil can is not an attractive article when placed in the retail stores; and, again, a coal oil can is only made to bear a pressure of thirty pounds, while the amount of honey which is put into one weighs nearly double that amount, and frequent losses are occasioned by leakage. In conversation with a merchant the other day, he remarked that customers did not like to buy honey by the pound or by the gallon. If it could be put in small cans neatly labeled and packed in cases, one or two dozen in a case; and sold in that way by the can or by the case, it would meet with a much readier sale. The establishment of a honey-grading and packing house in our neighborhood would soon obviate these difficulties by finding ready markets and adopting the method best calculated to secure good sales. The business is destined to assume immense proportions in this immediate section, and the sooner it is thoroughly systemized, the more profitable it will be to the producer and beneficial to the locality. ANAHEIM AS A HEALTH RESORT For the last year Southern California has passed through an ordeal of epidemics and diseases, which have furnished ample proof that there is something in locality as regards health, and has pointed out the most favored spots with unerring certainty. The scourge of diphtheria visited this section of country and its fatal touch rested on almost every town but our own. One case and one alone was all that the records could show, and it had been brought from another locality. BY TELEGRAPH. Earthquake. SAN LUNA ORIENTO, April 9. A shock of earthquake was experienced here this morning at 6 o'clock. The emplitions lasted but a few seconds. The shock was sharp and distinctly felt. The passage was from east to west, and no damage of consequence resulted. Financial. SAN FRANCISCO, April 10.

A Times Cincinnati special says: A case of some interest involving the character of Gen. Carey, late Greenback candidate for Vice-President, has just been decided in the court. The suit was based on a charge that Carey had taken advantage of the confidence reposed in him by a number of individuals who made investments in a Colorado mine, represented by him to be a big bonanza. The Court found on Saturday that Carey had agreed with his associates and partners in the enterprise to buy the mine for their common benefit for $50,000. He took money to buy it as their agent, bought it for $22,000, and divided the balance between himself and nephew. This balance of $28,000 the Court decided must be accounted for by Carey to the subscribers of the stock. Major Reno's Sentence. CHICAGO, April 10. The Inter-Ocean's Washington special says that the verdict of the military tribunal in the Reno case has been received at the Department of Justice, but it cannot yet be given. Reno's friends are trying to break down the verdict on the ground that he was not allowed to produce evidence concerning Mrs. Bell's character, which he claims, is very bad. The sentence is believed to be severe. More Complications. WASHINGTON, April 9. New complications have arisen in South America Bank Note Redemption. WASHINGTON, April 10.

The scourge of diphtheria visited this section of country and its fatal touch rested on almost every town but our own. One case and one alone was all that the records could show, and it had been brought from another locality. During the small pox trials to which Los Angeles was subjected, our people were in daily railroad communication with the infected city, and not a single case disturbed the quiet of Anaheim. It is certain that these facts are not matters which are attributable to luck. There is some reason why the infections were not spread among us, which we are not scientific enough to explain, but we can give many good reasons why Anaheim should be a healthy rather than an unhealthy location. The loose, dry, sandy soil of the town allows no filth to stay upon its surface. It sucks it in, takes it up and sifts it through to where the natural drainage can carry it completely away towards the ocean. The bitter Santa Anas, which periodically visit us, clear the atmosphere and sweep away any germs of diseases that might linger about us. The sea breezes, which daily visit us during the heated term, bring to us a delicious and refreshing coolness. The thermometrical records kept and compared during the last five years give conclusive evidence that the temperature of Anaheim is more even than any of the famous watering places in Europe. For the amusement and comfort of invalids, there is no spot on the Pacific Coast which furnishes better natural advantages. The adjacent mountains are full of delightful camping-places; there are running streams, shady groves, and picturesque spots wherever one may travel. The most of the suitable locations in the mountains are settled, and one can always procure a place where all that is beneficial in the mountain air and rest can be secured without foregoing many of the comforts of civilized life. Of watering places there is no lack. The only thing wanting is hotel facilities, which, in a climate so equal and mild as this, are not absolute necessities during the summer months. During the season large camping parties are to be found at all the favorite points along the coast, some of whom stop throughout the entire summer, and return to their avocations greatly benefited thereby. When the weather becomes mild in the mountains, every stage which leaves town carries passengers for the justly celebrated Hot Springs, which are considered an unfailing remedy for rheumatism, paralysis, and many other disorders. Remarkable cures are sometimes effected, and all who visit them are more or less relieved. To those needing rest and diversion, the vicinity of Anaheim offers many inducements. For those fond of sport with a gun, there is endless amusement. CHICAGO, April 10. The Inter-Ocean's Washington special says that the verdict of the military tribunal in the Reno case has been received at the Department of Justice, but it cannot yet be given. Reno's friends are trying to break down the verdict on the ground that he was not allowed to produce evidence concerning Mrs. Bell's character, which he claims, is very bad. The sentence is believed to be severe. More Complications. WASHINGTON, April 9. New complications have arisen in South Carolina affairs. Governor Chamberlain's friends have determined to make an effort to have him continue to assert his claim as Governor, on the ground that, if neither he nor Hampton are properly inaugurated, then Chamberlain holds over under a clause in the constitution of South Carolina, which provides that all officers shall continue to discharge their duties until their successors are elected and qualified. Wright, the third Judge of the Supreme Court, holds this doctrine. Chamberlain, who arrived at Columbia yesterday, insists that the Legislature must meet, if at all, under his own call, and either order a new election, re-canvass the vote, or do whatever is to be done, as the case may be. Wigginton Counted in. NEW YORK, April 9. The Tribune's Washington special says: Clerk Adams will make out twelve majority in the next Congress instead of five,\ as it should be. Wigginton is returned instead of Pacheco. Dead. NEW YORK, April 9. Rev. Dr. Wm. Augustus Muhlenberg died at St. Luke's Hospital last night. Endorsement by Methodists. NEW YORK, April 10. The Methodist Conference-to-day adopted resolutions declaring that the present exigency calls for an expression of confidence in the upright intentions and statesmanlike purposes of President Hayes, firmly believing that the policy thus far adopted, of conciliation toward those formerly in bondage, cannot fail to advance the welfare of the nation and the interest of God’s Kingdom. The resolution was ordered sent to the President. The Louisiana Commission. NEW ORLEANS, April 10. The Commission sat three hours yesterday morning, with closed doors. At 1 o'clock it received a delegation of twenty-five gentlemen, headed by Mr. Black, President of the Cotton Exchange, representing bankers, merchants, and other business men. The Commission said to them that they found two Governors, two Supreme Courts and an alleged dual Government in all departments, but, in fact, by acknowledgment by both parties, there was only one Legislature, though it meets in two Halls. That if the his side and a bullet hole in his head. It is supposed that he killed himself while crazed with liquor. Adrised to Vacate. COLUMBIA, S.C., April 10. To his Excellency, D. H. Chamberlain, Governor: DEAR SIR:—Recurring to the views severally expressed by us during the personal conference which we had the honor to hold with you yesterday, in regard to the political complications which have grown out of the recent canvass in this State, we beg leave to apprise you formally of the conclusions we have reached. After mature deliberation and the gravest reflection which we have been able to bestow upon the subject, while we are no less inspired with admiration for the dignified and resolute manner in which you consistently maintained your claims to the Gubernatorial Chair, by virtue of the election held in November last, and while we are solemnly impressed with the validity of your title to the office, we are unanimous in the belief that to prolong the contest in the absence of that moral support to which we feel ourselves and our party justly entitled at hands of the National Administration, installed in a large measure through the same agencies which are held to be insufficient for your maintenance, will be to incur the responsibility of keeping slave partisan prejudices which are detrimental to the best interests of the people of the State, and perhaps precipitating a physical conflict that could have but one result upon our defenseless constituency, we cannot afford to contribute, however indirectly, to such a catastrophe, even in the advocacy of our rights. We are agreed, therefore, in counseling you to discontinue the struggle for the Gubernatorial chair, convinced as we are, that, in view of the disastrous odds to which its maintenance has been subjected by action of the National Administration, your retirement will involve no surrender of principle; nor its motives be misapprehended by the great body of that political party to which, in common with ourselves, you are attached, and whose success in the past in this State has been aided by your intelligent and unselfish services. We have the honor to be, Very respectfully yours, Robert B. Elliot, Attorney-General; Thomas C. Dunn, Comptroller-General; John A. Talbot, Surperintendent of Education; F. L. Cardoza, Treasurer; D. C. Jas. Kenjedy, Adjutant and Inspector General; H. E. Hoyne, Secretary of State. Hampton to Chamberlain. COLUMBIA, S.C., April 10. The following correspondence has just transpired: EXECUTIVE MANSION. April 10th, 1877. SIR: Having learned that you now propose to turn over to me the Executive Chamber, with the records and papers belonging to the executive office now in your possession, I beg to inform you that I will send a proper officer The Louisiana Commission. New Orleans, April 10. The Commission sat three hours yesterday morning, with closed doors. At 1 o'clock it received a delegation of twenty-five gentlemen, headed by Mr. Black, President of the Cotton Exchange, representing bankers, merchants, and other business men. The Commission said to them that they found two Governors, two Supreme Courts and an alleged dual Government in all departments, but, in fact, by acknowledgment by both parties, there was only one Legislature, though it meets in two Halls. That if the Legislature meet in one body, it will be the State Legislature, and while it is in power will be the only power in the State that can secure the intervention of the army. If self-government is desired, as well as the withdrawal of the army, it can probably be secured in a day should public opinion of the State compel its Legislature to meet as one body. There are 23 of the 46 Senators, and 104 of the 120 Representatives whose election is not disputed by either party, and the Commission urged that when they assembled as such the Commission could have nothing to say about it. The discussion continued three hours. The delegation was not inclined to accept the suggestion, maintaining that Nicholls must be maintained as Governor to the fullest extent. A delegation from the Union Club, a Republican association, was received and heard, and a committee from Packard's Legislature presented statistics, records and briefs. The Commission was in continuous session nearly nine hours. The officers of the city government will call on the Commission to-day and also a delegation of leading colored men, including professional men, planters and citizens of wealth and business standing. Referring to the interview between the Commission and the Judges of Nicholls' Supreme Court, the Times says that it learns from the very best authority that the visit of these Judges was made at the request of the Commission, and that the Judges did not nor would they discuss the legality of their court. Various questions were propounded and in answer thereto the Commission learned that the Supreme Court had since the 9th of January passed and rendered decisions on over 200 cases and that their mandates and orders Punch's idea of a treaty is, "An international agreement between two or more Powers, which each and all the contracting parties will punctually fulfill when the time comes for so doing, unless they find that the safest and most advantageous course is to back out of it, in which case they are free to back accordingly."

Kennedy, Adjutant and Inspector General; H. E. Hoyne, Secretary of State. Hampton to Chamberlain. Columbia, S. C., April 10. The following correspondence has just transpired: Executive Mansion, April 10th, 1877. Sir: Having learned that you now propose to turn over to me the Executive Chamber, with the records and papers belonging to the executive office now in your possession, I beg to inform you that I will send a proper officer to receive the same at any hour you may indicate as the most convenient to yourself. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant. WADE HAMPTON, Governor. To Hon. D. H. Chamberlain. Chamberlain to Hampton. State of South Carolina, Executive Mansion, Columbia, April 10th. Sir:—Replying to your note of this date, I have to say that my private Secretary will meet such officer as you may designate at 12 M. to-morrow at the Executive Chamber for the purpose indicated in your note. Very respectfully, D. H. CHAMBERLAIN, Governor of South Carolina. To Hon. Wadé Hampton. Exeunt. Columbia, April 10. The United States troops formed in line and moved out of the State House at noon to-day. Chamberlain has issued an address to the Republicans of South Carolina, in which he says: By your choice I was made Governor of the State in 1874. In the election last November I was again, by your votes, elected to the same office. My title to the office upon every legal and moral ground is to-day clear and perfect. By the recent decision and action of the President of the United States, I find myself unable longer to maintain my official rights with a prospect of final success; and I hereby announce to you that I am unwilling to prolong the struggle, which can only bring further suffering upon those who engage in it. The Lovely Anna on the Rampage. New York, April 10. The Times to-day announces that Miss Anna Dickinson enacted a part last night in which she was more at home than in parts which she has recently attempted on the stage. At the close of the play at the Eagle Theatre, she stepped to the front of the stage challenging everybody to any whether she had not always defended the oppressed, and then proceeded to fail the criticism of the New York press and to defend Anna Dickinson. She spoke for over an hour with her accustomed rapidity, referring to various critics by name and showing their inconsistency and supposed errors. She gave a review of her life education, her struggle in fitting up for the stage and the reception she had met, claiming that she had been exceedingly successful as an actress. She ridicled the Herald critics, accused the Times critics of willfully misrepresenting her, but reserved the strongest terms for the Tribune critics. Her sallies were well received by the audience, which barely filled a third of the house. Temperance Furore in New York. New York, April 11. The Court of Appeals, having reversed the decision that the Board of Excise can legally grant licenses to persons other than keepers of inns or hotels, to sell spirituous liquors and wines to be drank on the premises of those licensed, James Gibney, a liquor dealer, selling liquor under a license from the Board of Excise, was to-day fined one dollar, by Judge Sutherland. The punishment was light because the dealer was not aware that he was violating the law. This has created an intense excitement among liquor dealers, and District Attorney Phillips has had a consultation with the Police Commissioners on the subject. Meanwhile the temperance people are taking advantage of the situation and have organized a temperance crusade, with Oliver Cutter at their head, for the whole sale arrest of liquor dealers, should the police take no action in the premises. Grain in California. San Francisco, April 11. The stock of grain on hand in California on April 1st, 1877, was: Flour, 59,274 barrels; wheat, 1,094,355 centals; barley, 1,075,050 centals; oats, 77,045 centals; corn, 80,456 centals; rye, 10,461 centals. The above, just made public to-day, was taken by the Produce Exchange. thrunged the vicinity of the fire all day, some looking for absent friends, but the great mass insisted only by curiosity. There is a strong guard of police surrounding the ruins, and no one is permitted within the line except those directly interested in the calamity. Sidmore Hayden, Superintendent of the American Stables, is among the killed; also Henry Hasen, Deputy Auditor of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Decker Anler, the Coroner, gives the following list of killed, as reported to him, and thinks it comprises all known to be dead: Rev. A. B. Adams, Stockeer, Berkshire Eng.; Gen. Frank Gawley, Grand Secretary of the Masonic Praternity of this Stale; Kate Reilly, Kate Doolan and Mary Moran servants; Henry Hasen, of the Auditor's Department of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, formerly of Newcastle; wife of W. L. Steward of the firm of Derby & Day of this city; Andrew Ernestman, of the firm of Fleishman & Co., this city; Charles G. Freeman and Sidmore Hayden. Dr. Anler intends to make a very searching inquiry into the cause of the fire, and all the facts connected with it, but will not begin his investigations for a day or two. The fire department is still throwing water on the ruins, and as soon as they are cooled the search for bodies will be commenced. Those most familiar with the circumstances of the fire and a number of guests and employees in the house believe that few if any bodies will be found. There were about 80 female servants, instead of some 200, as previously reported. P. Shackleford, of New York, had both legs broken, and some others of the saved are more or less injured. Frank C. McLellan is thought to be fatally injured. LATER—The number known to be killed is reduced to eleven. How many there may be in the ruins is a matter for conjecture. Persons who were through various parts of the house just before the floor fell, say it was clear of living people. Still there may have been a number suffocated and lying on the floors in the halls, where the interior of the building fell. A thorough search will be commenced, when the facts will be known. While the calamity was a frightful one, it is by no means so great as has been reported. Palms have been taken to ascertain the facts, and they have been faithfully reported. Grain in California. SAN FRANCISCO, April 11. The stock of grain on hand in California on April 1st, 1877, was: Flour, 59,274 barrels; wheat, 1,094,355 cents; barley, 1,075,050 cents; oats, 77,045 cents; corn, 80,456 cents; rye, 10,461 cents. The above, just made public to-day, was taken by the Produce Exchange. Grangers in Council. SAN FRANCISCO, April 11. In conformity with the call of Golden Gate Grange, representatives from about twenty-two granges met at the headquarters of the order in this city last evening, to consider agricultural education. Professor Hilgard, Kellogg and John and Joseph Leconte of the State University were present and addressed the meeting. Moses G. W. Colby and Ed Hallett of Butte and A. W. Thompson of Petaluma, and others also spoke. Some difference of views between the Professors and the grangers made themselves manifest, some of the latter appearing to think that the course of study in the agricultural college was not sufficiently practical. The discussion however was thoroughly harmonious and no very essential variance of opinion developed itself. On one point there was entire unanimity; that the agricultural department of the State University should be fostered and developed to the fullest possible extent. Friedlander to Continue Business. SAN FRANCISCO, April 11. The creditors of Isaac Friedlander met today to consider the situation of his affairs. Owing to a dispute as to the account of one of the principal creditors, definite action was postponed until that question is decided, which will probably be this afternoon; but the compromise offered by Mr. Friedlander was accepted by all the general creditors, and it is probable that united action will be taken to that effect, relieving him from his liabilities and enabling him to continue business. FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE. The Southern Hotel, St. Louis, Burned—Names of the Killed and Injured A Fearful Catastrophe. St. Louis, April 11. At 1-25 this morning the Southern Hotel, a building of seven stories high, was discovered to be on fire, and before the fire department could reach the spot the entire upper part of the building was in flames. The scenes in the neighborhood were indescribable. The upper windows of the hotel were filled with shrieking men and women, whom it seemed impossible to save, as the ladders of the fire department fell far too short of that part of the building. Among those saved is Peter Blow, son of ex-Minister Blow. He thinks that the majority of those in the latter—The number known to be killed is reduced to eleven. How many there may be in the ruins is a matter for conjecture. Persons who were through various parts of the house just before the floor fell, say it was clear of living people. Still there may have been a number suffocated and lying on the floors in the halls, where the interior of the building fell. A thorough search will be commenced, when the facts will be known. While the calamity was a frightful one, it is by no means so great as has been reported. Palms have been taken to ascertain the facts, and they have been faithfully reported. A Word for the Boys. Samuel Crose writes as follows to the Chico Record: For the last four years I have employed from fifteen to twenty boys, ranging in age from 12 to 16 years, in gathering, cutting and drying fruit, and work of a similar kind, and I propose now to give, in a few words, the result of my experience in the matter. I tried Chinamen at the same kind of work for a short time, having to board them while the work went on, and found them unreliable, dishonest, and not disposed to work in the hot part of the day. I then discharged them and hired white boys to do the work, and was so well pleased with the change that I have ever since continued to hire our Chico boys. In a strictly selfish sense, I was a gainer by the exchance. It is true the payment per measure was the same in both cases, but I obtained more work in a day from the boys than from the Chinamen, and consequently the provisions used for a given amount of work was less with the boys. They were more pleasant to get along with; readily understood all instructions given; were cleanly in their habits and could very properly sit at my table with my family, thus saving a considerable amount of work and trouble. But in the sense of public policy it was immense. These youths were thus taught by their own improved financial condition not to despise labor; they were taught the value of money by the labor required of them to obtain it; they were encouraged in the path of duty which they were to travel alone later in life; they were kept out of mischief, and from the company of the evil-minded by inducements which made them volunteers in the army of well-doers; and finally, by their withdrawal from the haunts of vice and intemperance, a most decided check was given to the growth of that bane of society—the genus hoodlum. Boys most surely develop into something expected or unexpected, in accordance with the care or carelessness of those who have them in charge. If it be a matter of pride for parents to see their boys, at an early age of dangerous development, lurking around saloons, smoking cigarettes and visiting places which they would be ashamed to name in the presence of their mothers, the attempts to find employment, to develop what is good in them, and to train them to a manly dependence upon their own industry will be a work of superation—but to all who are willing to lend a helping hand in training the youth of our country in habits of decency and virtue, my experience may be of value. Remedy for Grain Rust. At a meeting of the San Francisco Microscopical Society on Thursday evening, Mr. G. Mason Kinne read a paper on grain rust. He thinks our farmers ought not to sell short from fear of the rust, nor does he think the market can be "heared" on the strength of it. Many remedies, he says, have been tried as preventatives against rusts, snuts and brands, and it seems that the most effective is to treat the seed grain to a bath of the so-called orange oil. At 1:25 this morning the Southern Hotel, a building of seven stories high, was discovered to be on fire, and before the fire department could reach the spot the entire upper part of the building was in flames. The scene in the neighborhood were indescribable. The upper windows of the hotel were filled with shrieking men and women, whom it seemed impossible to save, as the ladders of the fire department fell far too short of that part of the building. Among those saved is Peter Blow, son of ex-Minister Blow. He thinks that the majority of those in the upper part of the hotel must have perished in the flames. Two men, unrecognized, were killed by jumping from the third story windows and a third man was badly mangled. Five women were saved from the fourth story. It is as yet impossible to estimate the number of lives lost, but at least forty or fifty are feared to have perished. The fire caught on the ground floor and by means of the elevator ascended to the sixth story, which was almost entirely occupied by employees of the hotel. The gas jets were extinguished and the horrified inmates rushed madly about seeking windows as a means of escape. Those who did not fall back stumped and fainting have all been rescued. Miss Kate Claxton, the actress, had another narrow escape, but is unharmed. The loss is about $1,000,000; insurance unknown. St. Louis, April 12. The report that a number of dead bodies had been taken from the ruins proves false. The fire department has not yet succeeded in cooling off the debris sufficiently to enable a search. Mr. Adams, referred to in a previous dispatch was Rev. A. B. Adams, incumbent of a parish of Berkshire, England. He was en route from Florida to California. His remains await the order of his friends. Letie Allen, an actress from the East, and a guest of Miss Clifton, of the Olympic Company, is among the saved. H. F. Cook, railroad conductor, said to be formerly from Toledo, together with his wife and child, are among the dead. Milton Nobles, the actor, and Miss Frankie McClellan, actress, were saved. The latter was very seriously injured. The former was mainly instrumental in saving the lives of ladies who were on the same floor as himself. Great crowds have Remedy for Grain Rust. At a meeting of the San Francisco Microscopical Society on Thursday evening, Mr. C. Mason Kinne read a paper on grain rust. He thinks our farmers ought not to sell short from fear of the rust, nor does he think the market can be "bearded" on the strength of it. Many remedies, he says, have been tried as preventatives against rusts, snouts and brands, and it seems that the most effectual is to treat the seed grain to a bath of the solution of sulphate of copper, which kills the spores carried along with the grain, or washing in a strong solution of "Glauber salts," and afterwards, while still moist, dust over with quick-lime, from which will be eliminated a caustic soda fatal to the germination of the spores. The success attending the shipments of California fruit to the East has convinced our farmers that, with proper exertions, they may derive profit from the utilization of the orchard products, instead of allowing them to go to waste, as has heretofore been the case in many instances. Not long ago the Grangers of El Dorado County appointed a committee to meet in Placeville and arrange a programme to further the interests of the fruit growers. They met at the time appointed, had a discussion, and resolved upon holding a convention, to meet in the town of Placeville on the third Saturday in April (21st instant) "to take into consideration the propriety of organizing an association for the purpose of promoting the general interests of those engaged in cultivating and raising fruits, and considering such other subjects as might come before the convention." In reply to an address of the friends of Southern Education, on Saturday, President Hayes said he acknowledged the importance of general education and appreciated the difficulties in the way of establishing a general school system where none existed. It should be a State institution, but the general government should render all the aid it legally could. Nothing gave him more pleasure than to contribute as far as in his power, to elevate the blessing of education in the South. He believed there was no better guarantee for the advancement and preservation of the country than the intelligence of his people. The subject would receive his attention. The pay of the German Generals in high command is said to be $1,800 marks (about $7654) a year, with furnished dwellings, fuel, andorage for eight horses.
