The regular meetings are held the second Wednesday in each month. The following items are from the Los Nietos Valley Courier: It is said that most of the artesian wells in the Artesia settlement have ceased flowing...In the Compton district there will be between three and five hundred acres of corn cultivated that will produce fair crops. This is a great falling off from last year...We understand that Mr.J.H.Burke sold his corn, 2,000 sacks, a few days since, realizing $150 per cwt gold, delivered at this depot, sacks being furnished by the buyer...It is calculated, by those competent to judge, that in the Los Nietos valley there will be from nine to eleven thousand acres planted in corn this season that will mature and yield good crops. Considerable more than that number of acres will be planted in corn, but allowance must be made for some failures, and the above figures are doubtless reliable... And in order to the raising of corn crop. The corn will come up beautifully, but the ground being full of worms they will prey upon and literally destroy the crop. Barley does well, but when it is cut the worm will bore into the stalk left in the ground and lay countless eggs to mature into worms. With alfalfa it is different. There is no place afforded for the worm to effect a lodgment to lay its eggs, and in a short time the pest might die off. It is worth the experiment...We learn that Mr.Taylor, living on the Wilmington railroad, near Dominguez station, has an artesian well, struck a few days since at a depth of 550 feet which has a... Among the political receptions we note the following: Stephens has announced that candidate for State Senator weds is mentioned as an ally for United States Senator. The Republican County committee have issued an addition to the local clubs in each town where the county to assemble in localities on the 1st day of steps to place their organization footing, and prepare for the election.

[FROM SATURDAY'S DAILY.]—Mr. Ferguson is shipping his sheep to San Francisco. Two carloads left here this morning. Grain speculators are plenty in town just now. Farmers who stored their crops are now reaping the benefit. The vineyardists think that there need be no apprehension felt in regard to frost this year. The District Court has granted a decree of divorce to J.H.Meeks from Anna L.Meeks. A dispatch was received last night by Mr.W.R.Olden, stating that all the pasture on the Stearns ranchos has been rented by the Company to Mrs.R.S.Baker. The building now occupied by Cahen & Willard has been leased to Capt.Granet and will be fitted up as a saloon as soon as Cahen & Willard move into their new quarters. A man named Steve Thompson has been arrested in Los Angeles for "shoveling the queer," i.e., passing counterfeit money. It is said that some of the spurious coin (half-dollars and quarters) has been sent to Anaheim. The Santa Ana Times says that there beautifully, but the ground being full of worms they will prey upon and literally destroy the crop. Barley does well, but when it is cut the worm will bore into the stalk left in the ground and lay countless eggs to mature into worms. With alfalfa it is different. There is no place afforded for the worm to effect a lodgment to lay its eggs, and in a short time the pest might die off. It is worth the experiment... We learn that Mr.Taylor, living on the Wilmington railroad, near Dominguez station, has an artesian well, struck a few days since, at a depth of 550 feet, which has a flow of eight and a half inches above the pipe, pouring out with the noise of a cataract. The workmen were about three months at work, and the well cost $2,000. Since this well was struck wells above it have ceased flowing. The water has been used to irrigate barley fields in that direction, and will probably be turned into a slough near at hand, and from thence run into irrigating ditches. Meeting of Town Trustees. The regular meeting of the Town Trustees was held yesterday at the town hall. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The report of the Treasurer, showing $311 18 in cash fund, and $29 37 in fines and Forfeiture Fund, was received and referred to the Finance Committee. The report of the Marshal was received, showing amounts due the town from various parties for work by chain gang, amounting to $14 50; amount received from dog license,$5; taxes,$694 88. Total amount paid into treasury,$654 25, being net amount after deducting 6 per cent commission. The report of Alex.Bailey, as Recorder, was also presented. Amount of fines collected, Judge and Constable cost paid,$80 25; balance paid into the Treasury,$32. The Committee on Ordinances reported back the Fire Ordinance, heretofore published in the Gazette, with unimportant alterations. The Marshal was instructed to post notices of delinquent tax list before levying on property. The delinquent list was reported to amount to only about twelve dollars. The Marshal was again instructed to have removed and abated a nuisance on Centre street. On motion the ordinances on the offences or nuisances, on licenses and the provision creating the fines and forfeiture fund was referred to the committee on ordinances for revisal. A large number of bills were read and referred to the Finance Committee for action. Measures.Yocum, Heimann,Boegs and Fischer were appointed a special committee to investigate the maps and other work of the town survey and report upon the same.On request of the committee,Messrs.Geo.C.Knox, as Civil Engineer and M.L.Wicks, as Clerk of the Board, were added to and requested to co-operate with said committee.

It is said that some of the spurious coin (half-dollars and quarters) has been sent to Anaheim. The Santa Ana Times says that there was a large meeting of settlers at Fountain Valley last Monday. They concluded to employ Judge Allen, of Downey, to go to Washington to present their case before the Secretary of the Interior. The Gospel Swamp correspondent of the Santa Ana Times says: We wish to call the attention of the good people of this vicinity to the fact that we stand very much in need of a post office. We hope that some of our influential citizens will take the matter in hand and proceed at once to supply this long felt want. We also need a blacksmith shop. We had a call yesterday from Mr. C. F. Scholl, whose arm was so severely scalded some weeks ago by the explosion of a distillery apparatus with which he was engaged. His wounds were extremely painful, but he is now recovering quite rapidly, and as soon as the stiffness consequent on a bandaged limb, is removed, he will be as vigorous as ever. The Yuma (A. T.) Sentinel of the 31st has the following item: "A week ago yesterday R. W. Grant, the saddler, mounted a badly-broken horse which soon commenced to buck with him. Grant kept his seat, but received internal injuries of a dangerous character and now lies in an extremely critical condition." Grant was for a long time a resident of Wilmington, and is well known in that part of the county. The Board of Supervisors on Thursday transacted the following business: Report of viewers on the Tustin City and San Josequin road, together with map and fieldnotes filed. Objections of non-assenting land-owners set for May 5th. Report of viewers on the Westminster road accepted, and the same declared a public highway. Report of viewers on Santa Ana and Orange road filed, field notes and map filed. Objections of non-assenting land-owners set for May 5th. A large number of bills were read and referred to the Finance Committee for action. Messrs. Yocum, Heimann, Boege and Fischer were appointed a special committee to investigate the maps and other work of the town survey and report upon the same. On request of the committee, Messrs. Geo. C. Knox, as Civil Engineer and M. L. Wecks, as Clerk of the Board, were added to and requested to co-operate with said committee. The Clerk was directed to draw up a proclamation for an election of town officers according to the ordinances. Said election to be held in the town hall; Messrs. L. Durr and D. E. Miles were appointed judges and Geo. C. Knox, Inspector. [FROM SUNDAY'S DAILY.] Seven and twenty-two one hundredths inches of rain have so far fallen on the Santa Margarita ranch. Frank Sabichi, of Los Angeles, is given authority for the statement that the orange crop in this county for the next year will be a small one. The improvements on the school house lot are progressing finely. The vines have been removed and the ground leveled preparatory to the planting of trees. Mr. D. R. Payne has just finished a fine crayon portrait of Mr. J. Doblin. The picture reflects great credit on the artist and is highly flattering to the original. Some scoundrel availed himself of the absence of Mr. Hartung from his residence on Wednesday night, and stole a lot of oranges from a tree in the front yard. The sheep men who had depended upon the Stearns' ranches for feed for their stock this summer, are not pleased with the news that the ranchos have been leased. Nicholas Berreta, who has been engaged in tobacco-growing near Anaheim for some time, takes his departure this morning for Sierra County. He will return in a few months. A petition is being circulated in Pomona and vicinity calling a meeting of the fruit-growers of Los Angeles County to meet in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 28th, for the purpose of forming a Horticultural Society. A jail will soon be neared Ana. Yesterday an engineer we were unable to learn, had with a saloon man named struck his antagonist on the board. The Constable arrests and took them to the Justice there, the engineer became seized was found necessary to lock-in joining room. The fellow locked in, than he burst open escaped. The following are the per railroad accident mentioned in Gazette: The train was when on the down grade between Walter's a coupling gave way ting the train. When this train engineer ran some distance forward section, and, when he was out of the way, stopped received what he took for ammunition and supposing that the detachment train had been stopped, doing this the rear section, gave on with great speed, came on with one of the flat cars loaded which the backing section telescoped into the baggage doctor Brown was seated, crushing him instantly. The baggantunately, was standing on the side of the rear car, and thus escaped train was composed of twins laden cars, those detached baggage and two passenger cars. A gentleman whose ancestors haps in the conquest of Mexico cation to Officer Barham on mission to slaughter the inmigrant He stated that he had malted and that his wounded foe satisfied with blood. He been the law in San Bernardino a permit from the officer wom Among the political rumors in circulation, we note the following: Hon. Wm. H. Stephens has announced that he is not a candidate for State Senator. Judge Sepulveda is mentioned as an elegible candidate for United States Senator. The Republican County Central Committee have issued an address, requesting the local clubs in each town and precinct in the county to assemble in their respective localities on the 1st day of May, and take steps to place their organization on a proper footing, and prepare for the Fall campaign. Mr. Richard Heimann, of the firm of Heimann & Sorenson, will leave for a trip up the coast the latter part of the week. The object of his trip is to dispose of the fruit dried at their Alden works last season. One thing is certain: there are few Alden factories in the State which have turned out such fine fruit. The work here has been carried on intelligently, and with a great regard to cleanliness. From Conductor Ed. Mateer we learn the following relative to the railroad accident on Friday night: As the train from Los Angeles to Mojave was between Walters Station and Dos Palmos, a coupling broke, and the cars ran on each other, throwing two cars into the ditch and making a wreck of things generally. Conductor J. J. Brown was killed. Mr. Brown was making his first trip to Mojave, having been transferred to that route at his own request. He leaves a family at Los Angeles. [FROM TUESDAY'S DAILY.] Judge Egan, of San Juan Capistrano, was in town yesterday. Another fine assortment of job type was received at the Gazette office last night. Mrs. F. M. Brown arrived from San Francisco last night, whither she had been to purchase a new stock of millinery. M. L. Goodman, of the firm of Goodman & Rimpau, left for San Francisco yesterday morning to purchase new goods for the summer trade. The grasshoppers are said to be very numerous on the Los Alamitos. What little green grass remains is rapidly being devoured by the scourge. If that law was in force here, and Barham would give him a permit, he would very soon have revenge upon that restaurant. The Deputy Sheriff informed him that there was no such law upon the statute books of Anaheim, but that the ordinance of our city did make some provisions for persons found drunk and disorderly, and that the best thing he could do would be to go home and leave his revenge on his inmates for quiet reflection in his sober moments. The committee appointed by the Town Trustees to examine the survey of the town made by Mr. Hammons were busy yesterday with the gentlemen examining the lines. We understand the present survey corresponds with that made when the town was originally laid out. We learn from one of the committee that the map will probably be received by the Board of Trustees. The sweet notes from our Anaheim Brass Band, who deserve the highest praise for the proficiency they have acquired, drew together as large an assemblage last night as the lady performers could reasonably expect from a town size of Anaheim. Mrs. Laroe was greeted with a perfect storm of applause, and the selections given by both ladies gave pleasure and satisfaction to the audience. The Los Angeles Express says that grasshoppers have appeared in great numbers in the immediate vicinity of the city. They are not fully developed in size, however, but are so numerous as to render walking unpleasant when a man or a horse comes up on a "patch" of them. They are not of the migratory species and will not work a great deal of injury. Mr. John Doe was brought up before Judge Clark, yesterday morning, charged with being drunk and disorderly. A little fine was suggested by his Honor and reluctantly acceded to by Mr. Doe. The indignant victim of the judicial action interviewed our reporter and stated his case as follows: "Look here, Mister, this aint on the square. They haint no business to stick me in jail! I'm the whitest man in America. I am! I'm an old miner. I've got a muscle on me like a grizzly bear—just feel of that arm. I'm the easiest man that ever lived. I'm a Democrat—that's why I'm sassy. I'll take something to drink with you." Our reporter apologizes for her mistake. MISCELLANY. Philip Claten, United States Consul at Cailao, Penn, is dead. Garfield has announced himself as candidate for Speaker of the next House. The colored men of Louisiana mutilin Widell Phillips' bitter attack on the administration. Governor Hampton will soon issue a proclamation calling a special session of the South Carolina Legislature. The bronze status of America, a female figure thirteen feet high, which is to surmount the soldiers' monument on Boston Common, has just been successfully cast in Philadelphia. Ingenious persons were selling again at $1 80 per dozen the other day in Portland, Me., when the suspicious police seized their stock, and discovered that the shells had been filled with a choice article of whiskey. This way the world moves: A lecture to be delivered in Cincinnati and telephoned to an audience in New York, and owing to difference of time, it will be heard in New York "an hour before" its delivery in Cincinnati. During February and March 64 persons were reported missing in New York, and 41 in Brooklyn. Of this number 34 were found through the agency of officers and detectives, 30 returned and gave an explanation of their absence, and one, A. Oakey Hall has reappeared in England, 11 were found dead, having committed suicide or been murdered, and 30 are still missing. Charles Bradlaugh and Mrs. Annie Besent have been arrested in England on a charge of issuing immoral publications. Bradlaugh's offence is the publication of a pamphlet by Dr. Charles Knowlton, dealing with the Malthusian theory of population. The case was adjourned to allow time to prepare the defence, and the accused were released on bail. Word comes to us from Paris of a recent contrivance of the Modistes, by which the long trains and collant dresses are to be retained in position. A strong elastic is attached to one garter, just above the knee, carried over, and fastened to the other; thus the length of the steps taken by the wearer is regulated, and the classical folds of the costume remain undisturbed. —Demoreel's Monthly.

Call at the Gazette office for your job printing. A son of Ralph Ellis, of Los Angeles, at work in Napa, put his hand on a circular saw while the same was in motion. Fingers badly torn. Don Chico Forster was up yesterday from Santa Margarita. He has just started a band of eight hundred horses for Utah. The band was at the San Joaquin ranch yesterday. Mr. James Huntington brought to town yesterday an orange tree of St. Michael's variety, which was loaded with blossoms. The tree is only one year old from the bud and is about three feet high. "Wanderer" writes from Los Angeles to the St. Helena (Napa county) Star: "Rodney Hudson's health is not good. He either cannot stand work or this climate does not agree with him. He ought in justice to himself—in a health point of view—to leave here altogether." Cahen & Willard's new store in Kroeger's Block, on Centre Street, will soon be ready for occupancy. The building is large and no expense has been spared to render it perfect in all its arrangements. It will, when completed, be one of the most elegant establishments in Southern California. The Republican says that Mr. Sresovich of Los Angeles has in his possession a German half dollar of the date of 1788, bearing the name of the Emperor at that time, "Frederich Wilhelm, Koenig von Preussen." The coin is well preserved, it now being eighty-nine years since it was coined. The list of Democratic aspirants for Senatorial honors has dwindled down by the withdrawal of Stephens, Wilson and Mott. The candidates now are: Col. Geo. H. Smith, of the firm of Glassell, Chapman and Smiths, Col. E. J. C. Kewen and Col. Godfrey. The Herald thinks that Smith's chances for a nomination are the best. It may, however, be quite possible to run in a private between so many officers. A jail will soon be necessary in Santa Ana. Yesterday an engineer, whose name we were unable to learn, had an altercation with a saloon man named Taylor. Taylor struck his antagonist on the head with a board. The Constable arrested both parties Mr. John Doe was brought up before Judge Clark, yesterday morning charged with being drunk and disorderly. A little fine was suggested by his Honor and reluctantly acceded to by Mr. Doe. The indignant victim of the judicial action interviewed our reporter and stated his case as follows: "Look here, Mister, this saint on the square. They haint no business to stick me in jail! I'm the whitest man in America, I am! I'm an old miner. I've got a furnace on me like a grizzley bear—just feel of that arm. I'm the easiest man that ever lived. I'm a Democrat—that's why I'm sady. I'll take something to drink with you." Our reporter appreciated the gentleman's claims and sympathized with him in his misfortune. He was full of sympathy. In fact, he had more sympathy than he had cash and the consequence was that John Doe didn't take a drink. BY TELEGRAPH. Chamberlain's Decision. CHICAGO, April 7. The Journal's Washington special says that Chamberlain left yesterday morning for South Carolina. At a conference between Chamberlain and his friends, he informs them that he had determined, after reflection and consultation with prominent men, Republicans, to hold on to his office and not surrender the State House until ejected by civil process. Hampton has given a pledge to the President that neither he or his friends will resort to violence. Chamberlain is confident that he can maintain himself as Governor for some time, and prevent Hampton from being recognized as Governor by the legal legislature. The Republican has an admitted majority in the State Senate, and unless Hampton can get control of this body he will be powerless to eject Chamberlain. A Speech by Hampton. Columbia, S. C., April 7. Hampton arrived here last last evening, accompanied by large military and civic delegations from Charlotte and other points in the State. He was received by the military, fire and other organizations at the depot, where a procession was formed, and headed by the band of the 18th United States Infantry, he was escorted, amid great enthusiasm, to Carolina Hall, where he was inaugurated last December. Addressing the people, he announced that his policy in the frame would be one of peace and harmony and that he would support President Hayes as long as he pursued the policy indicated in his inaugural address. The Governor reiterated the pledges made to the colored people in his campaign speeches, and said that in the administration of the law he should know no race. An Insane Act. New York, April 6th. The Times to-day publishes, from an authentic source, the true story of the explosion at the office of the Messrs. Jewett, white lead manufacturers, showing that a diabolical crime was perpetrated. O. D. Jewett was admitted to the firm of which his father, when alive, was a member, six or seven years ago, simply because of the relationship he contrivance of the Modistes, by which the long trains and collant dresses are to be retained in position.

The Tong-Yeon, a tree which flourishes in China and Cochin-China, produces in large quantities a fruit affording a capsule filled with rich oil-yielding kernels. The oil possesses a number of remarkable properties. It dries more readily than any other known oil. One of its most notable properties resides in the fact that, simply under the influence of light, the atmosphere being excluded, it becomes solid. It likewise solidifies when warmed in the air. In Boston they spread a "gospel net" literally and to some purpose. All the tramps are invited to a five breakfast Free! Not quite—though no silver or gold is demanded no man is allowed to partake of the repast unless he is willing to file out of the breakfast room into the chapel, and a stout policeman sees that the contract is kept. Stomachs must and souls afterward is a good rule, and yet it strikes us as being a novel way to make conversions. The first carpet manufacture established in the United States was in Philadelphia, in 1791. The census of 1810, less than twenty years after, reported the whole product of the United States: in this class of goods at 10,000 yards, of which 7,500 yards were made in Philadelphia. The census of 1870 shows that there were then 689 carpet factories in the United States, employing 13,000 persons and $13,000,000 capital, paying annually $4,700,000 in wages, and producing annually goods to the value of $22,000,000. In Bombay, the children soldome have anything on them but a red cord tiel around their waists: "One of my shoe-strings would make a suit of clothes for the whole parish. You will see superbly-formed women with only a linen cloth over one shoulder and so down around the waste. In addition to this a cloth is wound around the waist in much the same way as our juvenile diaper is applied. But their adornment does not stop here; for around each great toe is one or two huge silver rings, and around the ankles half a dozen. The same on each arm, on fingers and in the ears, and in the left nostril a huge cluster silver ring."—Correspondent. The town of Baxter Springs, Kansas, has concluded to run away in order to avoid paying its debts. It contracted a bonded indebtedness of nearly $200,000; it is in default in paying the interest coupons; a court of the United States has decided that the payment must be made, and the people in large numbers bag and baggage, taking their houses with them; are proposing to found a new city elsewhere. Baxter Springs may take its place among the lost cities of antiquity. Sodom and Gomorrah were burned by fire from heaven; Herculaneum and Pompeii were buried under volcanic ash; Babylon and Carthage have not left a vastege behind them and now Baxter Springs is about disappear from the vision of men. A New York paper gives this opinion: A Ring, having its headquarters in San Francisco and its agents in Washington, is making extraordinary efforts to rouse public sentiment against the Mormon people of Utah. The purpose is to make things so hot for them that they will abandon the Territory, with its silver mines, its cultivated farms, and its comfortable cities; so that they can be seized upon by the Ring. It is evident that there is but little sympathy with any such movement. Outside of China, and other semi-civilized countries, it is not customary to punish the innocent with the guilty. The Mountain Meadow massacre was the crime of A jail will soon be necessary in Santa Ana. Yesterday an engineer, whose name we were unable to learn, had an altercation with a saloon man named Taylor. Taylor struck his antagonist on the head with a board. The Constable arrested both parties and took them to the Justice's office. While there, the engineer became so violent that it was found necessary to lock him in an adjoining room. The fellow was no sooner locked in, than he burst open the door and escaped. The following are the particulars of the railroad accident mentioned in Sunday's Gazette: The train was going east, and when on the down grade between Indio and Walter's a coupling gave way, thus separating the train. When this was discovered, the engineer ran some distance ahead with the forward section, and, when he thought he was out of the way, stopped. He then received what he took for an order to back, and, supposing that the detached portion of the train had been stopped, he did so. While doing this the rear section, which had gained great speed, came on with great force, and one of the flat cars loaded with lumber, of which the backing section was composed, telescoped into the baggage car, in which conductor Brown was seated, crushing and killing him instantly. The baggage-master, fortunately, was standing on the back platform of the rear car, and thus escaped injury. The train was composed of twenty-seven heavily laden cars, those detached consisting of the baggage and two passenger coaches. A gentleman whose ancestors figured perhaps in the conquest of Mexico, made application to Officer Barham on Sunday for permission to slaughter the inmates of a restaurant. He stated that he had been grossly insulted and that his wounded feelings could only be satisfied with blood. He said that it had been the law in San Bernardino in 1872 that a permit from the officer would allow a man to kill as many and as often as he liked, and An Insane Act. New York, April 6th. The Times to-day publishes, from an authentic source, the true story of the explosion at the office of the Mesera. Jewett, white lead manufacturers, showing that a diabolical crime was perpetrated. O. D. Jewett was admitted to the firm of which his father, when alive, was a member, six or seven years ago, simply because of the relationship he had. He was somewhat wild and paid little attention to the business, which seems not to have been to his taste. He was absent last Winter in Bermuda, and on his return recently, expressed a desire to withdraw from the firm. His partners agreed to pay him $200,000 for his interests. The papers were to have been signed yesterday. Young Jewett, probably crazed with liquor, came to the office armed with a hand grenade, a pistol and a dirk. Some angry words passed and he pulled the grenade from his pocket and threw it on the floor and the explosion occurred. The uncle was killed, his own legs were broken and he received three terrible wounds in the abdomen. He then drew his pistol and attempted to shoot himself through the head, but his aim was untrue. He died last evening. Under date East Windsor, 22d May, 1807, the following appeared in the Connecticut Courant: "Thomas Hutchins has advertised that I have absented myself from his bed and board, and forbids all persons trusting me on his account. I now advertise the public that the same Thomas Hutchins came as a fortune teller into this town about a year ago, with a recommendation which, with some artful falshoods, induced me to marry him. Of the four wives he had before me, the last he quarreled away; how the other three came to their deaths he best can inform the public, but I caution all widows or maidens against marrying him, be their desire for matrimony ever so great. Should he make his addresses under a feigned name, they may look out for a little strutting talkative, feeble, misgret, hatchet-faced fellow, with spindle shanks and a little warped in the back." Thankful Hutchins." The next House will have a Democratic majority of about 12. A New York paper gives this opinion: A Ring, having its headquarters in San Francisco and its agents in Washington, is making extraordinary efforts to rouse public sentiment against the Mormon people of Utah. The purpose is to make things so hot for them that they will abandon the Territory, with its silver mines, its cultivated farms, and its comfortable cities, so that they can be seized upon by the Ring. It is evident that there is but little sympathy with any such movement. Outside of China, and other semi-civilized countries, it is not customary to punish the innocent with the guillot. The Mountain Meadow massacre was the crime of a few, and with the punishment of those of the criminals who can be caught, justice and common sense will be satisfied. Paris has again been scandalized by a gentleman at a club losing $100,000 at a card table in a single night. The police summarily closed the establishment next day, from which it is evident that the club in question was not the Cercle de la Rue Royale, nor the Jockey Club; nor the Imperial—all of which, with others of equal standing, continue to flourish at the present moment. Enormous sums continue to be lost all the year round at respectable clubs like those mentioned, and at the Cercle de la Mediterranee of Nice, which seems to have been established for the convenience of gentlemen who are too lazy to go every day to Monaco. It was not so long ago that the son of a Romanian banker lost $200,000 within a month at this charming place of recreation. A San Francisco corn doctor was summoned by a man who lived four miles out of the city. Hastily gathering up his case of instruments, files and acids, he walked through the pouring rain to the address indicated and was shown into the parlor. The physician sent up his card, and shortly after the door opened, and a florid man with unsteady legs entered the apartment. "How do, Doc? Take a seat. Didn't you think you'd come out in this rain, but you are a regular brick," and I knew it when I read your card. I wish you'd come and live out here. The whole neighborhood are a set of teetotalers." The practitioner opened his case of instruments and asked his patient to put up his foot on a chair. The man asserted, remarking that he lever felt more comfortable in his life. He resented, however, all effort: of the doctor to pull off his socks, and threatened to shoot him for attempting to hand his boots off. "How can I treat you unless I see your corn?" cried the chiropodet. "Corns be blowed!" answered the dweller in the suburbs. "I can't get no corn! Don't your card say 'Gentleman treated at their own residence?' and I sent for you because I am out of liquor, and I want some brandy pretty darned quick." There was a cry of anguish as the doctor took his largest file and rubbed the skin off his patient's nose. Cheap Firing. The Patent gives a description of the so-called "external fire" found on a peninsula on the shores of the Capitain Sea. A Norwegian traveller who has already given some account of the phenomenon states that the most remarkable manifestation of it is to be found in a part of the peninsula where there is a sort of trench or opening in the earth measuring twenty yards in length and about five feet deep. Out of this opening flames are continually rising, and sometimes attain to a height of fifteen or even eighteen feet. The fires fed by the oil of naphtha which constantly exudes from the soil by the action of nature; and it is said that at any spot within a radius of half a mile a similar fire can be lighted up by simply digging a hole in the ground and applying a match. The flame burns without smoke or small, and is so harmless in its effects that even close up to the edge of the burning trench the grass grows green and fresh, and at distance of about 100 yards there are two wells of excellent water. It was not to be expected that no curious phenomenon would be overlooked by the fire-worshippers, and in effect, as the Monique asserts, there are living in the neighborhood several pions descendants of the ancient Parseens. Their hats are pitched close to the sacred fire, and just outside each of them is a small hole in the earth with stones arranged round its edges, on which is placed the kettle in which their daily meal is prepared. Whenever it is required for culinary purposes, the pit is set on fire by throwing into it a few bundles of lighted straw, and it is very easily extinguished again by simply casting in a shovel-full of earth, or covering the pit over with a damper made of felt. A bright light is obtained by sinking into the ground one end of a hollow reed and applying a match to the other, which is protected by a coating of clay. It will burn as long as the priest or hermit has any need of it, and is then put out by stopping the aperture with a primitive extinguisher made also of clay. The following items are from the Yuma Sentinel: On Wednesday, the 21st inst., a Yuma chief died suddenly near the Laguna. The tribe accused his wife of having bewitched him, beat her to death with clubs and then crenated her body with his. The "wake", was quite an affair. Some twelve head of horses were killed, partly to provide "funeral haked meats" for the mourners and partly to furnish the late lamented with saddle animals in the happy hunting grounds. Cremation is the rule with these Indians, not only of the corpse, but also of all his property. When a squaw dies in childbirth the child is burned with her, whether dead or alive, being to some extent considered guilty of the mother's death. J.C.

A Mormon colony of eighty-four souls has come in, taken up land and are taking out a ditch about 12 miles above Haydan's Ferry. They are under the leadership of Mr. Jones, who transacts all the business of the colony. They comprise about 22 able-bodied working men. They have been there only a few weeks but will have their ditch out and go to planting next week. The men are Josephites, having only one wife apiece; they came direct from Utah and are very nice people. They have only 80 acres each by homesteading, saying that is all they want. A lady, of Rome, New York, who is an enthusiastic Republican, named her canary bird Jim Blaine. He did not sing much, but she loved him tenderly, until last Saturday, when she discovered that Jim Blaine had laid an egg. Now she declares that no dependence can be placed on a politician.
