WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY JULY 21, 1877. CHINESE GAMBLING. The respectable Chinese merchants of the city of San Francisco have made an appeal to the Mayor of that city earnestly requesting the suppression of the vice of gambling which is spreading to an alarming extent among the Chinese laboring classes. They say that "all business duties have become subservient to the vice of gambling, and it has converted thousands of laboring men into a mob of idlers, who borrow money from whom and how they can, only to lose it at games of chance. This condition of things has frequently obliged the companies to send to China for gangs of laborers when hundreds were to be found lounging about the gambling quarters. In brief, this vice of gambling, deep-rooted, unsuppressed and extending, has lured the laborers from steady and honest employment and reduced them to a lazy, illegal and vagabond way of living; and further, thousands of Chinamen have been grossly swindled at these games, and their complaints to the companies have been numerous and bitter." It seems that the gambling games are under the general superintendence of one influential Chinaman called Sam Chun Yew, who has in two years accumulated a fortune of between thirty and forty thousand dollars. This boss Tweed of the Chinamen for the weekly payment of five dollars from each of the games guarantees them safety from molestation by the police. His influence seems to be unbounded and reaching into the highest circles of official management, for by it he is enabled to place policemen on the beats where the illegal games are conducted, who will for a certain monthly stipend shut their eyes to the transgression of the law, and open them suddenly to the offense of any gambling house proprietor who refuses to pay tribute to the Gamblers' King. Respectable Chinese merchants, who have dared to make complaint of this high-handed outrage, are immediately spotted, and stand in imminent danger of their lives. Notices are sent to them as violent and OUR JAIL. In our position as journalists we are constantly coming in contact with the guardians of the peace, and are oftentimes spoken to freely upon matters of which the community at large hear but very little. The subject of the condition of our jail has often been brought to our notice. It is considered an unhealthy place in which to confine prisoners. It is badly lighted and badly ventilated. Indians and Chinamen are locked therein without mercy, and sometimes spend two or three days in the fetid atmosphere. Whenever a man known in the community is unfortunate enough to get into trouble which necessitates his confinement, he is taken in charge by the officer, brought to a hotel, and is allowed all the privileges which are allowed to people who have done nothing meriting restraint. It appears to us that if our jail is unhealthy to a white man, it is unhealthy to an Indian or a Chinaman. If confinement in it is too severe a punishment for the one, it is for the other. If it is unhealthy at all, it is dangerous to the community at large; consequently, if any person who merits confinement cannot be kept in it, the jail is an improper edifice and steps should be immediately taken to render it suitable to hold anyone. The facts are these: There is little or no ventilation in the jail and there is not the first trace or semblance of anything appertaining to comfort. No man, be he white or black, is confined for any length of time in our town jail for any crime. It is only used for temporary confinement until trial can be held, and if the prisoner is convicted he is immediately transported to the county jail and taken entirely out of our jurisdiction. It is neither right or fair to punish a man for an offense which it is not proven that he committed, and there is no law in the statutes which says that for any crime a man may be deprived of light and wholesome air. We beg leave to call the attention of the proper authorities to this matter, and to suggest that as the complete renovation of the jail is a matter which involves so little expense, it is not justice to the community that criminals should be allowed to go at large to the discomfort of the law-abiding citizens, nor is it justice that they on whom no conviction DOWN BY THE SEA.

THE LAGOON This seaside resort soo ALMOST INCREDIBLE. About a week ago a New York Police officer found a child senseless upon a doorstep. The child was taken to the office of a physician who pronounced it dying from starvation. At the same time two officers entered the office dragging a woman with her head covered with blood and raving from the excessive use of liquor. As soon as she saw the child she sprang at it, and was with difficulty prevented from tearing it to pieces. When the child was attended to and had recovered sufficiently to speak, she told the doctor where she lived; that her little sister Mary was dying of starvation, and fluence seems to be unbounded and reaching into the highest circles of official management, for by it he is enabled to place police men on the beats where the illegal games are conducted, who will for a certain monthly stipend shut their eyes to the transgression of the law, and open them suddenly to the offense of any gambling house proprietor who refuses to pay tribute to the Gamblers' King. Respectable Chinese merchants, who have dared to make complaint of this highhanded outrage, are immediately spotted, and stand in imminent danger of their lives. Notices are sent to them as violent and threatening as ever emanated from any organization of the Molly Maguires, and assassination and death is sure to overtake any who are fool-hardy enough to disobey the mandates of this Celestial Chief. Many of those who are suspected of taking part in the agitation against this gambling mania are obliged to keep a body guard constantly about them to prevent violence. Sam Chun Yew openly boasts that he pays one officer "$600 per month, another $400, and that he has to pay eighteen hundred dollars a month in another locality to protect the gamblers from being disturbed." The shrewd rascal walks the streets of San Francisco and collects his weekly rental without fear of molestation. It is bad enough that there are powerful rings of white capitalists who, by their money, control to a certain extent the actions of the officials, but when the police force of as large a city as San Francisco is governed by a Chinaman who openly defies the law, and makes from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars a year by guaranteeing safety to other law breakers, it is high time that a new leaf were turned over and a new police system organized. The San Francisco Chronicle in an article on the subject, from which we glean our information, gives a complete list of all the Chinese gambling houses in the city, of which there are eighty-two, and twenty-four lottery games, many of which are largely patronized by white men. The Chronicle remarks that the list is published in order "that the authorities may not go amiss, if any desire should be excited on their part to relieve the Chinese population of a demoralizing institution, which is the ground work of most of the crime that is perpetrated among them, and at the same time release the police department from the odium resting upon it."

About a week ago a New York Police officer found a child agoneless upon a doorstop. The child was taken to the office of a physician who pronounced it dying from starvation. At the same time two officers entered the office dragging a woman with her head covered with blood and raving from the excessive use of liquor. As soon as she saw the child she sprang at it, and was with difficulty prevented from tearing it to pieces. When the child was attended to and had recovered sufficiently to speak, she told the doctor where she lived; that her little sister Mary was dying of starvation, and that her parents had thrown her out of the house several days before. The captain of the police force with a number of officers proceeded to the house designated by the girl and found the father naked and miserable from the effects of a protracted debauch. Lying by his side was little Mary, unable to move and with her bones nearly pierced through the shin. The neighbors said that the children had not been fed for several days and when taken to the police station they were so weak that they could not retain food. Such are the fruits of intemperance in large cities. Texan Raids into Mexico. SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 25.—Here in San Antonio everybody knows that the Texans steal as much in Mexico as the Mexicans do in Texas. The thieves are principally Mexicans who live on this side of the Rio Grande, but they have no lack of a fair sprinkling of American thieves. For instance, King Fisher, the most dangerous of Texas desperadoes, is the dread of all citizens beyond the Rio Grande. The Mexicans have driven their cattle into the interior of Mexico, but their distance does not insure their safety, for the Texas thieves bring vast herds of horses and mules to San Antonio, and none of the so-called owners can show a bill of sale. There is no doubt of the genuiness of their Mexican ownership, for they have the Mexican brand, and can be proved stolen. But purchasers are readily found here. Nice looking ponies are offered here for from $10 to $15. In Chicago, what was called a butterflies' hall yielded $2,000 to a charity. The entertainment consisted of dancing, tableaux, and pantomime by very small children, gorgeously winged like butterflies, on the stage of a theatre. A Man who Says he Doesn't Sleep. [From the Cincinnati Commercial] PARKERSBURG, July 1.—The man who does not sleep, Sanders, now resides near this place. Some time in 1861 or 1862 Sanders enlisted in the Fourth West Virginia Volunteers. For several years he had not slept at all, so he says. But it becoming known directly in camp that he had made such pretentions, it aroused the curiosity of many of the men and officers, and they set a watch upon him. I am told by a Colonel that he and many others lost a great many nights' sleep in endeavoring to entrap Sanders, but during the whole time that he remained a member of the Fourth he was never caught asleep. He stood guard night after night, and week after week, paid by sleepy-headed soldiers to take their turns, but was never caught napping. He hauled coal several weeks in succession, only stopping long enough to eat and change horses, and ploughed in the fields with five or six stalwart men until he wore them out completely, but never seemed to tire. During the year 1863 I think it was, he went to Philadelphia and was examined by the leading physicians of the country. They sat up with him in relays of five, night and day, and kept up an almost constant stream of conversation with him, and at the end of twenty-nine days, discharged him with a certificate, but could give no explanation of this freak of nature. Many stories of the untiring energy and activity of this man are told, and all agree who know him that this antipode of Rip Van Winkle is the most sleepless man they ever met. Mr. Sanders is now about fifty-six years of age, and says that he has not known what sleep is for eighteen years. He himself cannot account for it, as he says the change of his physical organization occurred within three days, and that he was never sick in his life, and took medicine but once, and that was when he had a catarrh, about three years ago. He is a hale, hearty man, and bids fair to live many years yet.

A Man who Says he Doesn't Sleep. [From the Cincinnati Commercial] PARKERSBURG, July 1.—The man who does not sleep, Sanders, now resides near this place. Some time in 1861 or 1862 Sanders enlisted in the Fourth West Virginia Volunteers. For several years he had not slept at all, so he says. But it becoming known directly in camp that he had made such pretentions, it aroused the curiosity of many of the men and officers, and they set a watch upon him. I am told by a Colonel that he and many others lost a great many nights' sleep in endeavoring to entrap Sanders, but during the whole time that he remained a member of the Fourth he was never caught asleep. He stood guard night after night, and week after week, paid by sleepy-headed soldiers to take their turns, but was never caught napping. He hauled coal several weeks in succession, only stopping long enough to eat and change horses, and ploughed in the fields with five or six stalwart men until he wore them out completely, but never seemed to tire. During the year 1863 I think it was, he went to Philadelphia and was examined by the leading physicians of the country. They sat up with him in relays of five, night and day, and kept up an almost constant stream of conversation with him, and at the end of twenty-nine days, discharged him with a certificate, but could give no explanation of this freak of nature. Many stories of the untiring energy and activity of this man are told, and all agree who know him that this antipode of Rip Van Winkle is the most sleepless man they ever met. Mr. Sanders is now about fifty-six years of age, and says that he has not known what sleep is for eighteen years. He himself cannot account for it, as he says the change of his physical organization occurred within three days, and that he was never sick in his life, and took medicine but once, and that was when he had a catarrh, about three years ago. He is a hale, hearty man, and bids fair to live many years yet. He is conscientiously opposed to making a display of himself, or no doubt would long ago have been before the public as one of the human curiosities of the world.

Letter from Laguna—A Favorite Sea Side Resort—Its Superiority over other Watering Places—How the Time is Passed. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE AT THE SEA SIDE, July 16th, 1877. For nearly two weeks past I have been "tenting on the old camp ground;" and in the intervals of eating and sleeping, I have been lazily lying on the soft side of a rock, watching the swelling bosom of the vast expanse of waters before me. Not very noobling pursuits, I admit—eating, sleeping, and watching swelling bosoms—but as I came here for the express purpose of doing "nothing at all," I am religiously adhering to my determination. A more pleasant custom than that of making a few weeks of the summer months a season of recitation and rest, does not obtain. Both in the Old and New World this custom prevails, and if I mistake not, it is even more in vogue in Europe than in this country. And it is a custom, too, that is not likely to come into disfavor, because when once the pleasures of a trip of this kind are experienced the desire for an annual repetition of the holiday is unconquerable. Even if the recreation is taken at a great pecuniary sacrifice, the increased physical and mental vigor experienced on returning to the regular routine of business fully recompenses one. I mind me that in my boyhood a month's "scowth" among the heather-covered hills of bonny Scotland, or a trip "doon the water" to Rothsay or pretty Dunoon, was always followed by an increased but sometimes misdirected energy and activity—as for instance, when, after a trip of this kind, the superabundance of vitality imbibed among the heather, vented itself in a desperate but unsuccessful effort to bulldoze a schoolmistress. The memory of this incident always awakens painful recollections, and even at this late day the old feeling of profound respect for the stalwart right arm of that schoolma'm is not entirely eradicated from my heart of hearts. THE LAGUNA. This seaside resort seems to be a very pop- half-fall of water; float the piece of moss you wish to manipulate on this water; the cardboard on which the moss is to be pressed having been ent off the required size, is placed on a piece of a trifle larger than the paper; slip this under the moss as it floats on the water and with a long needle place the delicate tendrils and stems of the moss in the position you desire them on the card-board. When this is done raise the cardboard out of the water and subject it to a strong pressure, between the leaves of a book, if you have nothing better. Mrs. Lockhart has a very simple and effective contrivance for pressing the moss. It is simply two smooth boards, between which, in layers of cloth, is placed the moss, and the necessary pressure is supplied by two small iron clamps, which can be purchased for a trifle at almost any store. OTHER INTERESTING FEATURES. There are many other interesting features which help to pass away the time quite pleasantly. Only a few minutes ago I was called out of my tent by the cry, "There she blows," and found that the cause of the cry was a whale which was blowing and spouting at no great distance from the shore. These leviathans of the deep (patent applied for this phrase) not unfrequently treat the campers to a sight of their huge proportions. Seal Rock, less than a quarter of a mile from the campground, is a favorite resort for sea-lions, and is continually covered with them. Quite frequently a seal will make its appearance on the beach close to camp—sometimes with disastrous consequences to his sealship. One made this manoeuvre the other day, and now he is in the happy land of Canaan, sent thither by a rifle ball. I cannot truthfully say the fishing is good, although the patient sportsman will not fail to bag one or two of the funny tribe if he angler long enough. There is the usual game in the hills adjoining camp, and not unfrequently the lucky Ninrod gets a shot at a deer. This, I believe, is a very fair list of the attractions offered at the Laguna—and no mean list it is, either. There is enough interesting diversion to keep one busy the live-long day, if, like Sarey Gamp, he is "so dispoged." SOME OF THE DISADVANTAGES. There are, of course, some disadvantages to this otherwise perfect Elysium, and very serious and annoying drawbacks they are, too. The chief objection is the lack of water—fresh water, I mean. In the words of ye ancient mariner, there is "water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink." For drinking purposes it has to be obtained at a spring three miles from camp; but horses can be watered at a spring little over a mile distant. The difficulty in obtaining the precious fluid leads many to make shifts, and it is really wonderful to see how little Orange items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Being absent, items were absent last week. At the Republican primary Saturday L. J. Lockhart and R. B. Warren were elected delegates to the convention to be held on the 28th. Water, and not politics, absorbs the whole attention of the people on this side, and we predict a struggle this fall. Mr. Hilton of Tastinis favorably mentioned for our representative, and from good authority we believe he will ably represent us wherein the commonwealth and not monopolies are interested. He is also sound on the water question. The renowned "crooked nose debate" was compromised ere it came before Judge McGibbon for a second hearing on last Saturday; the day fixed for that event. Mr. J. Anderson has returned from Frisco. His samples of sumac met with favor among the largest dealers of that city. Practical experts in a number of large tanneries pronounce it equal if not superior to the important article that now costs from $120 to $140 per ton delivered in San Francisco. This bids fair to equal orange culture, and as no water is required for irrigation, it will bring into market lands now considered worthless. Already the miller at Santa Ana has arranged to grind it to perfection. The sample we saw he ground, and flour is scarcely finer. Like all home products, prejudice will have to be overcome. We partook of a banana raised by H. H. Messenger on Patterson Bower's place just east of here. It was as fine and we believe better flavored than any we ever ate. Another laurel in the fruit line, and wonders never cease. Fourteen transients dinnered at the hotel on Saturday last. Talk about hard times. Still they come and still they go,and Laguna seaside is one end and home the other and J. W. Anderson and family, returned Saturday, all looking hearty,fat,sunburn,dirty and sane,and Col. Travis and family departed for the famous resort to spend a quiet time. Bro., "Bion," we see in his last,hurls an avalanche at certain Republicans, in the way of threats against the whole prescript. This is all uncalled-for-as we see by the tenor of his remarks that a misunderstanding exists,just where we know not. We learn that the Republicans in Santa Ana,"felt"of a number of their political kin,但 could find no man who would stand a show. They tried to find a good man on the dry end of the zanja—the thought such an one would be an abler worker,having been a sufferer.Mr. Wilcox would not have it; Mr.Hilton had not then been mentioned; several mentioned THE LAGUNA. This seaside resort seems to be a very popular one, and the sojourners are quite numerous. As the readers of the GAZETTE are doubtless aware, it is situated on the San Joaquin rancho. It is about thirty miles from Anaheim, and is reached by a road which may be safely ranked as very good. There are some steep hills along the route, which it is well to drive over during daylight. But the most ordinary driver will find no difficulty in making the journey in safety. There are three other seaside resorts in the southern end of Los Angeles County—Anaheim Landing, Bolaa Cica, and Nahant; but as before stated the Laguna is infinitely the most popular. The chief objection to the three first named places is that the dreaded and repulsive "stingaree" abounds in great numbers, rendering bathing an extremely dangerous pleasure. Nahant, which Dr. Hayward so thoroughly wrote up in the GAZETTE last year, has the additional disadvantage of being nearly inaccessible, the road leading to it, in fact, being no road at all. This place, however, is entirely free from stingarees, and a bath in the briny is a pleasure without alloy. The beach, or beaches (for there are a dozen of them) have just the requisite slope to make it pleasant for bathers; and the surf, except at certain stages of the moon, breaks smooth and gently on the sandy shore. The undertow is but slight. But there are, alas! EXCEPTIONS TO EVERY RULE. The surf was heavy the other morning, and the undertow was correspondingly strong. At least so it appeared to me as I was violently and rapidly taken off my feet and carried far into the deep. I had not even time to say "Now I lay me," etc., ere an enormous breaker caught my almost inanimate form and tossed me back on the beach again, in my mad career butting a tall, stout man in the abdomen, doubling him up like a jackknife, and finally anchoring violently in the ample bosom of a muscular lady in blue pants and jacket. I went in like a rocket and came out very much like a stick. And the worst part of the whole proceeding was that everybody seemed to consider it a huge joke, and one which called for a great deal of laughter and hilarity. The accepted hour for bathing is between 10 and 11 o'clock in the forenoon. Most people consider one dip a day sufficient, but others prefer an afternoon dip as well. This is generally taken between three and four o'clock. SHELLS IN ABUNDANCE. There are always present at such places as this people who, from bodily infirmity or a serious illness, do not partake in SOME OF THE DISADVANTAGES. There are, of course, some disadvantages to this otherwise perfect Elysium, and very serious and annoying drawbacks they are, too. The chief objection is the lack of water — fresh water, I mean. In the words of ye ancient mariner, there is "water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink." For drinking purposes it has to be obtained at a spring three miles from camp; but horses can be watered at a spring a little over a mile distant. The difficulty in obtaining the precious fluid leads many to make shifts, and it is really wonderful to see how little water one can get along with—if he only tries and has a keg of beer with him. Washing the face with fresh water is a capital offense. Potatoes, with the jackets on are boiled in salt water, and are usually improved thereby; dishes are washed in salt water. The fresh article is only used for cooking and drinking purposes. Mr. G. H. Kellogg (who, you know, has built quite a large summer house here) is thinking seriously of getting the necessary apparatus for condensing the sea water. The only drawback to this project would be the cost of the fuel, which wood (forgive me!) have to be hauled a considerable distance and would make condensing a costly operation. I suppose that in ordinary seasons there is plenty of feed for stock in the adjacent hills; but this year they are brown and bare, necessitating the transportation of hay and grain for stock. If one contemplates a stay of three or four weeks, it is impossible to carry along a sufficiency of hay, and an extra trip of twenty miles or so is the result. There are other minor disadvantages which do not require special mention, as I presume they exist at all embryo watering places. PLEASANT COMPANY. Since I have been here, there has fortunately been a very genial, jolly lot of people in camp, who look and act as if they had come here to "drive dull care away." The evenings, which perhaps would otherwise be likely to drag, are enlivened by impromptu musical entertainments, to which every one contributes his or her talents. Mrs. C. E. French, who has a very commodious tent, is indefatigable in providing amusement for the small community. In conclusion, I may be permitted to give my testimony in favor of the physical advantages to be derived from a week or two's recreation at the seaside. The perfect rest, the invigorating sea breeze, the daily surf bath, the genial companionship, all tend to restore and build up a debilitated constitution. And it is wonderful what an appetite one gets. If a fellow has half a dozen meals, they all seem to merge together and run into Appetite. An insatiable appetite is now the one bane of my existence.

There are always present at such places as this people who, from bodily infirmity or a natural aversion to water, do not partake in the pleasures of bathing. Even to such, however, the place is not without attractions. One must indeed be blase who can wander in the wilderness of rocks and not become interested in the thousand curious sea animalcule which abound in every crevice. Sea shells of every variety are found; and I, without being guilty of any extraordinary exertion, have gathered several rare and beautiful shells. The abalone shell is quite plentiful, but unfortunately they are unusually small in size. The very large and the vory small size of this variety of shell are about equally prized. I have seen some as large as a dinner plate and others as small as a pea. Then there is the Coffee Shell, very rare and very pretty. They are greatly sought after for the purpose of making shirt sundries and sleeve buttons—and very handsome they look when mounted. Sea urchins are as plentiful as they are pretty. "Californians" are really the handsomest shell, but they are very rare. There are a thousand other varieties of shells, big and little, which are very pleasing to the eye. In fact, to nine-tenths of the people here the search for shells is the most pleasantable experience they have, notwithstanding the fatigue which is inseparable from the pursuit. SEA MOSS Of as handsome and various textures as the most exacting could ask for, rewards the search of those who woe not "the balmy" in the early morn. It is thrown on the beach and upon the rocks during the night, and a search about four or five in the morning rarely results in a failure to obtain quite a supply. (My stock of mosses is not very expensive, and what I have is the result of a negotiation with a youth who prefers a depreciated silver currency to his morning's nap.) I have just returned from a visit to Mrs. Lockhart's tent, and have been treated to an inspection of some moss which has been pressed in fantastic shapes by that lady. It is difficult to imagine the very beautiful effect produced by artistically pressed moss; and less any of my fair readers are ignorant of the method pursued. I append Mrs. Lockhart's mode: First, get the moss; (highly important); take a large, shallow pen and fill it REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. "In time of peace prepare for war."

The people in this neighborhood are on the rampage. They are resoluting against the Land Company because the Company are asking a fair interest for money due. Other people are jumping land on the Alamitos Rancho—land which is patented, and the patent is on file in all the requisite Departments. The squatters have good news, and feel that they own all they claim and more too. The settlers had a grand picnic at the Ocean View school house, on the mess. An immense number of people were there. A dispatch from Washington was read, which put all in good spirits. Over two hundred paid for their dinner, and many stayed for supper and the dance in the evening. All seemed to enjoy themselves. There was no liquor sold on the grounds, and everything passed off with peace and quiet. Mr. Redway has been employed as teacher at Garden Grove. Mr. White is employed as Principal and Miss L.

Many of our neighbors have gong, and more are going. It is aggravating this hot weather to be obliged to follow the plow or swelter amidst the growin corn, wielding one of those heavy hoes, thinking all of the time of our neighbors laving in the cool water of the ocean or breathing the balmy air that fans the mountain's brow. Some of these days when a wanderer approaches our house he will knock and call in vain. We will be laving in the bright waters of the Pacific.

Brigantage in Sicily has received a severe if not a fatal blow in the death of Leon, the famous chieftain, whose adventures would be worthy of study of some romance writers. The soldiers who were in search of him found in a house inhabited by several young women traces of his recent presence. The women were much agitated at this, and would give no hint of his whereabouts, but the soldiers found him not far from the place, and after a hot battle succeeded in killing him. Upon his body was found a large sum of money which will pay the heavy reward offered by the Government for his capture. Not only was there undisagised rejoicing in Palermo and other parts of Sicily but it was announced in Parliament as a cause of public congratulation. Rarely does the death of one man cause such joy as this has done. It is a proof of the scourge his life has been to the people of Sicily. Their farms could not be cultivated because he and his troops were constantly killing the agriculturists or carrying off the cattle. Nothing was secure, and business and all the affairs of life were continued under great fear of the brigands. N.Y.Post.

Their numbers are unknown, but they are constantly receiving reinforcements, while Rough Pasha is compelled by numerical inferiority, to remain on the defensive until the arrival of Sulieman Pasha, who is expected in three days.
