WEEKLY GAZETTE Established 1870. SATURDAY...AUGUST 18, 1877. Nearly all the legislative nominations have been made in the interior. On the list are some very tough candidates. Apa. This low, insinuating attack on Ast Ellis should be protested against, and we do hereby protest. We know of only one man in the county who could contest with Charles E. Miles for the Recordership, with any hope of success, but that man is not W. W. Robinson. Mr. Miles, in our opinion, will poll the full vote of his party, and will receive the support of many Republicans, on the score of personal friendship. It can be said, in the expressive vernacular, "he has a soft thing of it." We learn that Capt. Thom has signalized himself by a number of speeches of special eloquence and force, and that he has entirely removed the prepossessions which a number of the settlers in the Southern portion of the county had against him on account of an erroneous conception of his connection with a noted law suit — Herald. Capt. Thom not only failed to make the settlers believe that he had acted as an upright and conscientious attorney should have done, but he confirmed them in the belief COL. JOHN O. WHEELER. Some time before the two political parties in this county held their conventions, we predicted that Col. John O. Wheeler would be the Republican nominee for County Clerk. This is what we said: "Col. Wheeler is an old resident of this county (he came in 50), and was Deputy Clark under Chas. P. Johnson in 1857 and 1858. At various times he has held important and responsible Government positions. He has been intimately identified with the history of this county, and would receive the warm support of nearly all the old residents irrespective of party. He is exceedingly popular with this class. His honesty has never been questioned, and his ability is demonstrated by the fact of his having held so many important and responsible public positions. And in point of personal popularity he is the equal of his opponent, A. W. Potts. Over-confidence in his hold upon the public will probably cause disagreeable consequences to the latter gentleman some day, especially if this feeling of official security leads to a carelessness in the administration of the affairs of his office, as rumor says is the case." Recent events have confirmed us in the belief that the people do not desire that Mr. Potts should occupy the Clerk's office for a fourth term. The carelessness with which the business of his office is conducted is notorious. Prominent men of his own party told us months ago that if Mr. Potts did not pay more attention to the petty details of his office he would speedily become SUNDAY There is perhaps no professionally Christian variance has been less rigid in California.

To lay aside that like our hands o We learn that Capt. Thom has signalized himself by a number of speeches of special eloquence and force, and that he has entirely removed the prepossessions which a number of the settlers in the Southern portion of the county had against him on account of an erroneous conception of his connection with a noted law suit—Herald. Capt. Thom not only failed to make the settlers believe that he had acted as an upright and conscientious attorney should have done, but he confirmed them in the belief that he "gave them away." Caleb T. Fay announces himself as an independent candidate for State Senator from the 10th Senatorial District of San Francisco. This fellow Fay is the biggest political nuisance in the State. He invariably announces himself as an "independant" candidate for some office at every election. We cannot help but think that it is a special dispensation of a beneficient Providence which prevents him from ever receiving more than a corporal's guard of votes. Whatever some journals may say to the contrary, there is really no fight being made on the Senatorial question. Not a single candidate for the Legislature has, as far as we have been able to learn, been instructed how to vote for U. S. Senator. Every convention has left that question to the discretion of the candidates. Republican members of the Legislature will vote for the most available Republican candidate, and Democratic members will support some man holding their political views. And that is all there is about it. Jotham Bixby, the Republican candidate for County Treasurer, has concluded a tour among the various settlements in this end of the county, and everywhere he has met with a reception which augurs well for his election. His large and varied interests in the county has at various times brought him into close relationship with nearly all the old settlers, and having found him a man of probity and honorable in all his dealings, they feel disposed to give him their support for the office he seeks. Mr. Bixby is making a quiet but very thorough canvass. Secretary Schurz denies the statement recently published, that W. H. Kemble paid him $1,500 for repeating the same speech three times in the campaign in that State. He declares the story utterly false and ridiculous; says that since 1856 he has been active in thirteen campaigns, State and National, from two weeks to four months at a time, an average of six or seven weeks, and that in most of these campaigns he paid the bulk of his expenses out of his own pocket, sometimes when he could little afford it, and to the utter neglect of his private affairs. He gave to those campaigns not only his labor and time, amounting to little less than twenty-four solid months, but a not inconsiderable amount of money, also. IGNOBLE WARFARE—WILEY FOR SHERIFF. It seems that some of the speakers who are now stumping the county allow their angry passions to rise to such a pitch that their fierce denunciations and personal dis-tribes against the opposing party are actually injuring the cause for which they are laboring. For instance, some of the speakers at the Democratic meeting at Westminster the other might indulged in such gross abuse of Mr. Wiley, Republican nominee for Sheriff, that Mr. Mitchell, his opponent, felt called upon to apologize for the brutality of speech which some of his supporters had been guilty of. Said Mr. Mitchell: "I am a candidate for Sheriff. I am running on the Democratic ticket, and if elected I will fill the office to the best of my ability. And right here I want to say a word for Mr. Wiley." I have known him for ten years, and I believe if he is elected he will make as good a Sheriff as I will. If he was here he would say the same of me. That is all, gentlemen." Those are many words, and contained a fitting rebuke to those who had wantonly insulted Mr. Wiley in their speeches. It may not be out of place here to record our opinion that Mr. Wiley will be elected Sheriff by a very handsome majority. He will not only poll the full vote of his party, but he will also get hundreds of Democratic votes. Some of the most prominent Democrats in the city of Los Angeles have expressed this opinion. We personally know scores of Democrats in this vicinity who will vote for him, not because of any particular fault to be found with Major Mitchell, but simply because of pure personal regard for Mr. Wiley. He has lived in this county for twenty-five years, and is acquainted with almost every resident. With these advantages his election is a foregone conclusion. HUMOROUS PARAGRAPHS. We wonder why the usually sensible editor of the Herald allows his political predictions to so far get the better of his love of truth and fair play as to make the following statements: "The Democratic County Convention, in nominating its ticket, took counsel of the rural element. Both county and city are well balanced, and no section complains of disagreeable consequences to the latter gentleman some day, especially if this feeling of official security lands to a carelessness in the administration of the affairs of his office, as rumor says is the case." Recent events have confirmed us in the belief that the people do not desire that Mr. Potts should occupy the Clerk's office for a fourth term. The carelessness with which the business of his office is conducted is notorious. Prominent men of his own party told us months ago that if Mr. Potts did not pay more attention to the petty details of his office he would speedily become unpopular. But in his fancied security he has not designed to head the warning, and he will shortly discover that personal cleverness and amiability will not condone official derelicits.

After Dr. Andrew's a venerable thought of it: "twice," replied the gaved over my head w The Santa Barbara Press, of Friday, August 10th, says: "Mr. J. Bixby, one of the proprietors of the Coast Line Stage Company, and nominee for Treasurer in Los Angeles county, arrived in town this morning." That's the kind of a man to elect County Treasurer. We want somebody who is ubiquitous—somebody who can be quietly reading the Gazette at the hotel in Anaheim and be shaking hands with the Press editor at Santa Barbara at the same time. This is a qualification which we did not think Mr. Bixby possessed, but we will not presume to dispute our Santa Barbara friend's accuracy. But if we did not see Jotham Bixby in the reading-room of the Planters' Hotel on last Friday morning (at the time the Press says he was in Santa Barbara) we will set up the oysters for Col. Otis when he visits Anaheim. The Mint investigation has been prolific of wordy encounters between the opposing forces—notably between Frank M. Pixley and Superintendent La Grange. The last encounter was specially indignous. It was on last Monday. After La Grange had read a statement refuting certain charges, he said he hoped Mr. Pixley would withdraw those charges that he had failed to prove. Mr. Pixley said he would not be intimidated into doing anything. La Grange said he would not attempt to intimidate a person who had struck a preacher, upon which Mr. Pixley replied that he would jump down the Superintendent's throat and kick off his belly button, and that he would not dare resent it; and that he was an "old duffer." So long as there was a prospect for a personal encounter, the Chairman declined to interfere, but when it became evident that the dispatches would not resort to fistfights, he sadly demanded that order be restored, and the immediate business was resumed. HUMOROUS PARAGRAPHS. We wonder why the usually sensible editor of the Herald allows his political predictions to so far get the better of his love of truth and fair play as to make the following statements: "The Democratic County Convention, in nominating its ticket, took counsel of the rural element. Both county and city are well balanced, and no section complains of neglect." "Capt. Thom encountered Judge Brunson at Fountain Valley, the other night, and fairly put that redoubtable combatant here du combat." "Major Mitchell, our candidate for Sheriff, is developing a popularity which surprises those who have looked upon him as vulnerable. The Republican belief that Wiley has a show in the present canvass is fast waning." If the above was written in a sarcastic vein they fulfill our idea of genuine humor. Twelve of the nominees on the ticket are residents of Los Angeles, and the other three belong in the rural districts; yet "county and city are well balanced, and no section complains of neglect!" As we have elsewhere shown, Capt. Thom made a brilliant failure in pleading his case before the settlers at Fountain Valley. And the statement that Wiley will not be the next Sheriff is equally fallacious. The Herald has an undeniable right to support anybody it pleases, but we submit that it should make its fight upon substantial grounds, and its arguments should be based upon facts. A LAME DEFENSE. The effort of Capt. Thom to explain away the ugly charges made against him by the settlers on the Las Bolsas, was a lamentable failure. Before he gave in his defense, they believed that he had wilfully "thrown them overboard." He pocketed a very handsome fee, and then, without an effort in their behalf, he coolly told them that he could do nothing for them. We say that they believed all this before he gave in his defense—and they believe it yet. He could talk for a month and not make them change this opinion. The consequence is that Mr. Thom will not get a dozen votes in a precinct where, under other circumstances, he would have received two hundred and fifty.

There is perhaps no country in the world, professedly Christian, where Sunday observance has been less rigidly carried out than in California. Many can remember the early days when mining was almost the only industry, and when there was hardly any distinction perceptible in the streets between the first day in the week and other days. And even now the spirit of trade and the looseness of religious opinion give to our Sunday habits a latitude that would shock not merely a Scotchman frosh from the land of presbyterian rule, but would be regarded as dangerously lax by any New England deacon who should drop in upon us straight from his Sabbath-Knipping Eastern home. Now, while we are far from wishing to bring ourselves or others under what we cannot help considering the bondage of unwise rule, which we remember being so restive under in youth, yet surely, after all, there is much about Sabbath observance that we should be foolish to cast aside altogether. Not to speak of the late morning rest, the silence of public works and the relief from business cares, all of which are conducive to reflection and to that repose of body and mind which is so essential to their recuperation,—not to speak of these things merely, it is surely good for us all, whatever be our creed, or whether we even have any definite religious belief at all, to take this day and use it for the cultivation of those moral virtues, concerning which all good men are agreed. To lay aside our working clothes that, like our hands on week days, are often WATER. How to secure it—Sensible Suggestions DEAR GAZETTE:—What are the people of Anaheim going to do without water? And how are they to get water into our town? These are now the much vazed, and all important questions, for the solution of this people. Had we not better be up and doing something to remedy the evils under which we are now suffering! Yes, under which we are famishing for want of water? Does anyone think for a moment that a "law suit" will put water in our kitchen? If so, let me tell you, and I speak whereof. I know you will when it is too late—when your substance is burned up with the heat, wake up to find yourselves sorely and sadly mistaken. The only result possible of a suit will be to establish and define the rights of the various parties litigant; which will probably be determined some time during our second Centennial year. I, for one, believe from the evidence of those who have examined the river, that the water there is ample to supply the wants of all irrigators who use from that source; in fact this seems to be the prevailing opinion, and many are the denunciations we hear on every hand of the various parties who are deemed to be responsible for our present surroundings. Now, this is all wrong, and our street brawls and hard words will not bring what we most need and desire—water. Now, I propose a "short cut." Let us, one and all, who are able to lift a shovel of dirt, turn out en masse, with our showels, and bring the water into Anaheim. Stand not idle while your very living is being burned up. When your vines, trees and shrubbery are gone—dead for the want of a little water, that can be so easily acquired—you may then bid a long and forever farewell to your hard earnings, and leave your once beautiful homes in the undisturbed and peaceful session of the wild coyote. Let us be up and doing not wrangling among ourselves; but MR. ALLEN REPORTS. What the Attorney of the Settlers did at Washington. The settlers on the Las Bolsas gathered together on Friday to learn from Mr. Allen what he had done for them in Washington. The meeting was a large one, and quite enthusiastic. Mr. Allen being repeatedly cheered during the delivery of his address. The substance of his remarks was as follows: When I got to Washington, I want to see our attorney, Mr. Krosinsky, and asked him about the Las Bolsas case. He replied that their was no Las Bolsas case; that there was nothing in it; that it had been decided against the settlers; that the land had been patented and the patent recorded, and that it would be impossible for us to do anything. He further stated that all the evidence had been thoroughly considered, and that the Secretary of the Interior, under the law and evidence, could not have decided differently. The case was held open for sixty days, on the promise of Krosinsky that he would furnish additional evidence. After our affidavit went on, I saw the Secretary of the Interior, and he said that he had examined the additional proofs, and all the testimony submitted on the first hearing, and believed that he had arrived at a definite conclusion. I asked him to let me have three days in which to examine the case, at the end of which time I would present my views to him. In that examination I discovered fraud, erasures, interlineations and changes in the documents, maps and survey, which I called to the attention of our attorneys, Drummond and Krosinsky. We then presented the case, and Mr. Drummond and Mr. Krosinsky both told me that beyond any question we had won the case; that my discoveries were sufficient to win the case, and that we need not fear any action the other side could take, as we could defeat the Sunday Morning Chit-Chat.

Of course, as your correspondent states, he was absent from the hall when Lynill and Ling made their brutal and false attacks upon Mr. Wiley; and of course Mr. Mitchell was virtuously constrained to rebuke the zeal of his followers. It was a neatly played little game to win votes for Mitchell, but every one here is thoroughly disgusted with Mitchell's duplicity. Put down Westminster for Wiley by an almost unanimous vote.

In the course of the trial frequent reference was made to "the Rosencrans land steal," "outraged settlers," etc., which were foreign to the case in hand and ostensibly designed as an insult to the attorney for defense. Finally Mr. Gould recalled Ketchum and asked: "What became of Lachennia?" Witness—He was hung by Judge Widney and some other persons. At this stage of the proceedings Judge Widney, evidently supposing this was a signal for a personal attack on him by the plaintiff and his attorneys, and having recently received letters threatening his assassination, quickly arose and drew a pistol overhand to cast aside altogether. Not to speak of the late morning rest, the silence of public works and the relief from business cares, all of which are conducive to reflection and to that repose of body and mind which is so essential to their recuperation,—not to speak of these things merely, it is surely good for us all, whatever be our creed, or whether we even have any definite religious belief at all, to take this day and use it for the cultivation of those moral virtues, concerning which all good men are agreed. To lay aside our working clothes that, like our hands on week days, are often soiled with the world's work; to dress ourselves in becoming garments and to go where we can meet our fellow-beings in a social manner and listen to a lecture or discourse—call it what you will—in which good manners shall be inculcated, mixed with whatever shade of theological belief—this is surely a custom which, in these days of moral chaos, cannot hurt even the host of us.

Last evening there was some extraordinary fun witnessed in a gymnasium in this city。A boxing class had been formed，consisting of ten pupils。Some wag connected with the institution conceived the idea of getting up a riot in the class。He went about it in a novel and ingenious way。Before the hour for the class-meeting he bored a hole through the ceiling and let down a rope，to the end of which he fastened a cavas bag filled with sand。Above he had a confederate manipulating the rope。When all was in readiness he remarked: "Now，boys，I'll put you through first exercise。All get aroundthe bag in a circle begin to punch with your fists。Each man must try and drive the bag over to the man opposite；and first man that fails to keep the bag away from him sets up the beer." This proposal was received with enthusiasm，and the class collected about the bag。At the word they all began to punch with a will，getting more earnest and excited every minute。Just about this timethe fellow overhead，who was watchingthe progressofthe game througha hole inthe ceiling，suddenly jerkedupthe bagabouta foot abovethe headsofthe excitedclass。The effect canbe easily imagined。Each man hitthe oppositemaninthe nose，andthentheybegintobatheblindly。Whilethe riotwenton,themanaboostoccupiedhimtimeinpullingthebagupandlettingitdropontheheadsofthecombatants。Thewaythe bloodspartedaroundoverthefloorwouldhavedelightedWildBill。Theyrolledover,goteachother'sheadsinchancery，struckfromtheshoulderindeadearneth,andhadplentyoffungenerally。Whenthey finallygotquitteddownfromtheinterior。 Belligerent Attorneys.

It is reported that a prominent democratic candidate for office, who never goes to church, attended service at the Methodist church yesterday, and put half a dollar in the plate. Too thin.—Santa Barbara Press. Some of the American preachers in attendance at the Pan-Presbyterian Council seem to have astonished the canny Scots not a little. After Dr. Hoge's sermon in St. Andrew's, a venerable elder was asked what he thought of it. "I thought I had him twice," replied the good old man, "but he gaved over my head wi' a fluff like a bat." Benjamin Brown gained reputation and profit among the Spiritualists of Boston by making "spirit photographs." So firmly did Spiritualists believe in his mediumistic pretensions that he was engaged to give seances at the Lake Pleasant camp-meeting; but that job, as well as his whole business, has been upset by an exposure. An experienced photographer had but little difficulty in detecting the trick, which consisted simply in substituting for a clean plate one on which a "spirit form" had been dimly made. Burlington Hawkeye: When Mrs. Van Cott comes singing down the aisle, and fixes her reviving eyes upon a man, and he turns pale and trembles, she thinks his soul is awakened. Yet we have seen the very same look on a man's face when he turned round after kissing the servant girl and suddenly encountered his wife's mother. A petition signed by 41,200 of the clergy and laity of the Church of England, has been presented to Queen Victoria, asserting that the recent decisions of the Judicial Committee are "an arbitrary reversal of the plain directions of the Prayer Book," which the petitioners cannot in conscience accept, "any more than they can recognize foro consciente the authority in spiritual matters of the court from which the decisions proceed." They therefore humbly pray her "to take such steps as may protect congregations from being disturbed by any attempt to enforce these decisions, and for the future to provide that all such questions, according to the Constitutional rights of the Church of England, may be settled apart from all secular intervention, by the Convocations of the Church." Among those who signed the petition were Earl Nelson, the Earl of Devon, Dr. Pusey, Canon Liddon, Canon Carter, the Rev. Bordmore Compton, the Rev. T. W. Perry, and the Hon. Charles L. Wood. Witness—He was hung by Judge Widney and some other persons. At this stage of the proceedings Judge Widney, evidently supposing this was a signal for a personal attack on him by the plaintiff and his attorneys, and having recently received letters threatening his assassination, quickly arose and drew a pistol from his pocket, and holding the muzzle down, addressed Ketchum substantially as follows: "Yeu say I murdered a man! You lie! you perjured villain! I was in the County Court room trying a case at the time Lachensis was hung and knew nothing whatever about it. Gen. Howard, Judge O'Melveny and others were with me at the time, and will vouch for what I say. If you and your crowd are armed to assassinate or murder me, draw your pistols and go on. I believe you are armed, for I have been informed so." Mr. Gould—We are not armed. Judge Widney—Then I will put away my weapon, as I will not use it on an unarmed man. The case then proceeded without interruption until the noon adjournment, when Judge Widney asked Mr. Gould if his party intended coming armed or unarmed in the afternoon, as he would be governed entirely by their actions. He said he only wanted a fair show, but did not intend that any one should get the drop on him. Mr. Gould made no definite promise, so we are informed, but Mr. Haverstick said it must be distinctly understood that no arms were to be brought by either parties. As the Register and Receiver have no authority to punish for contempt, Chief Gerkins thought it advisable to detail an officer for special duty during the afternoon session. Complimentary. [From the "Broadaxe."] "There are some blatherskites so large in self-conceit, occupying so much space that we are often puzzled to find out whether they are monster balloons inflated with Babcock crooked whiskey, or a Republican Anaheim Gazettar who guzzles it down, without remorse of conscience." Thank you! Rev. Dr. Asahel Bronson, though 83 years of age, still performs full ministerial duties at Mount Vernon, Pa., where he is pastor of a Presbyterian church. He supplies also two out stations. In the last three years membership of the church has been doubled. will, getting more earnest and excited every minute. Just about this time the fellow overhead, who was watching the progress of the game through a hole in the ceiling, suddenly jerked up the bag about a foot above the heads of the excited class. The effect can be easily imagined. Each man hit the opposite man in the nose, and then began to battle blindly. While the riot went on, the man above occupied his time in pulling the bag up and letting it drop on the heads of the combatants. The way the blood spurted around over the floor would have delighted Wild Bill. They rolled over, got each other's heads in chancery, struck from the shoulder in dead earnest, and had plenty of fun generally. When they finally got quieted down and began to look for the two men who put up the job, the parties could not be found. Virginia Chronicle. The Mosquito of the Yellowstone. An Interview with Col. M. V. Sheridan. Col. Sheridan thinks of all abominations in this world, or the world to come, the Yellowstone and Upper Missouri mosquito is the most abominable. At Fort Buford, on his way down, he found every officer and soldier wearing a close-fitting head net, and the whole command enveloped in smoke arising from a hundred "snuggers," or fires. Still there was no sleep or rest for the men. Some were nearly crazed by the torture. Any one who has ever been bitten by a Yellowstone mosquito will not need to be told how it feels. One mosquito can annoy him exceedingly, while a dozen may throw him into spasms, but a swarm of them can suck him dry of blood, eat all of the flash of his bones, and chew up and spit out his clothes and shoes in just four minutes by any chronometer in the land. The Yellowstone mosquito can't be intimidated or bulldozed. He won't fly at the motion of a hand. When he locates on a man he settles for good, and you may pull his legs out by the roots and he won't let go—not until he gets his little belly full. Seriously, the soldiers stationed in that country find life almost unendurable at this season of the year. The San Francisco Call and Bulletin are opposed to calling a Constitutional Convention. The first-named paper says: "The public will be called upon to vote at the approaching election for or against calling a Constitutional Convention. There cannot be given a single good reason why the people should be put to expense of assembling to pass upon amendments to the State Constitution; for at present the instrument may be changed without much cost, and besides in a much safer way."

Mr. Pilkington, lecturer of the State Grange, lectured here on July 5th, presenting some strong points and astonishing figures regarding our State and National finances and government, as now engineered by cliques, rings and politicians. He called on Grangers to throw aside more party lines and vote for the party who would nominate farmers for their candidates to the Senate and Assembly, or else organize a "farmer's party" and nominate and elect your own men. And he affirmed that with such men in office at Sacramento, all thieving and political chicanery would be at an end, and strict honesty would prevail in every department of the government; for in a Legislature, Senate or Assembly, composed of farmers, none but honest men would be found. He urged voters to counsel with their mothers, their wives, and their sisters as to the best men to vote for, and to take that counsel and act on it. He spoke in terms, the whole tendency of which was to create enmity between the farmer and the merchant, whereas their interests really are one. All this from the State Lecturer of an order which has nothing to do with politics, is too much. The whole tenor of the address was such as we would expect to hear from an over-anxious political aspirant out on "a stump," and we wondered what office the gentleman could be seeking at the hands of the "farmers' party." It is hardly seemly for any man to claim that only farmers are honest men; nor can it be said that all farmers are honest. As to southerning with the other sex regarding the proper candidate to vote for, a remark made by a friend here is to the point. He says: "My mother has hardly Two Notable Deaths. The telegraph announces two notable deaths in very different spheres, namely, Samuel Warren, the author, and Le Blanc, the proprietor of the gambling establishment at Monaco. The first named was the author of the celebrated novel "Ten Thousand A year," a book which fairly took the literary world by storm, and the months of which have already elevated it to the rank of a classic. The law firm of Quirk Gammon & Snap introduced to that story, has been immortalized, and through the author never equalled his work in that instance. The last was enough to secure him a lasting reputation. Thackeray never analyzed the such character more thoroughly and skillfully than did Warren in that book, and although the more curious because, unless greatly hated by contemporary report, the author was himself a striking illustration of the vice and foibles he depicted so forcebly. The second notable character whose death is announced in Le Blanc, the great gambler, and commonly known as the real Prince of Monaco. He was a man of great energy and administrative ability, and conducted a difficult and delicate business with committable skill and audacity. His establishment was on a magnificent scale, in all its departments, and the cost of maintaining it enormous. Le Blanc was worshipped by the people of Monaco, and many stories are told of his librality, not only to those whom he employed or among whom he lived, but to ruined speculators and gainestors who had come prepared to break the bank, and got broken themselves. Thackeray, in one of his miscellaneous papers, has placed on record a graphic narrative of what was really a matter of frequent occurrence, namely, a combination of gamblers against Le Blanc's bank. Some gamblers would discover an infallible martingale, or scheme of play, and having persuaded others of its value they would club their capital and lay siege to the bank. On the occasion selected by Thackeray the contr- Boxing Lessons was some extraordinary gymnasium in this city, been formed, consisting of a ring connected with the idea of getting up to win about it in a way.

European Politics. London, August 13. Politics are beginning to take a leading place in public discussions. At Berlin a coup de sat in France is believed probable, and it is also thought that the new government will not be recognized by Germany. Notwithstanding the fact that a profound peace prevails in France, ultra conservative papers are urging the Government to declare marital law. There is a report current that the cabinet have already resolved upon this step. This will be rendered necessary by the course of radical papers, which dare to talk of civil war unless their candidates receive a majority at the approaching election. Mona Duponlopos' newspaper says it is natural to suppose that the Government may be forced to meet, by a state of seige, a force and unconstitutional civil war waged against it. The constitution is formally attacked, and the government would be wrong if it did not seek means to defend itself. A Committee of the Right publishes another appeal for funds to carry on their electoral work. They urge all order-loving citizens to respond, because the propaganda of the right will promote the public welfare.

Smith as Secretary of the Treasury. A Saucy Reply. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 13. It is stated on good authority that Museva Pasha, the Turkish Ambassador at London, recently wrote to the Porte that he had reason to believe that the British Government would probably ask authorization for the fleet to enter into the Bosphorus in order to protect Christians. It is said that the Porte replied that the fleet could only come as an avowed ally of Turkey. It is also asserted though on doubtful authority that this reply was withdrawn on the energy to remonstrance of Layard, the British representative at Constantinople. A Black Hills newspaper says that one thousand women would find not only remunerative employment there, but good husbands also. It expresses regret that so few females have sought the Black Hills, and adds that "if hard-working, sensible and virtuous Eastern girls would come even to Cheyenne they would very speedily better their condition and find independent and well-to-do husbands. Judge Lochrane, of Georgia, is reported to have made this pitty remark on the State Constitutional Convention: "On the first day of its meeting the Convention abolished the Constitution, on the second it insulted the Governor, and on the third it repudiated God Almighty." The kind of verbs that are read in a Kentucky school exhibition: "Go, my son, and shut the shutter." Thus I heard a mother utter. "Shutter's shut," the boy did matter, "I can't shut it any shuster."
