Dealer in Drugs, Medicines & Chemicals, DANGEROUS COMMUNISTS. A few evenings ago a meeting of "workingmen" was held in San Francisco for the purpose, as stated by the Chairman, of "taking steps to remedy the tremenlous labor evil, and to check therapeutically-growing arrogance of the aristocrat and land-grabber while there is yet time." The remarks of several of the speakers were outrageously incendiary, and in no other country in the world would they have been permitted to continue their violent sodious harrangues. In order to secure what they called "their just rights," they declared that they were ready to burn the city, to murder capitalists (mentioning the names of Stanford, Crocker, Lux & Miller, and others) and secede from the United States and set up a Pacific Coast Republic. One man, introduced by the Chairman as "a representative workingman," said: "In one year we will have 20,000 men on our roll, 20,000 muskets in our hands. Then let them bring on their regular army to put us down. Let them bring on their police, their Committee of Safety." It is, of course, not true that these men are workingmen. It may be set down as a certainty that when they are not employed in weeping over the workingmen's woes they are dealing out liquid damnation at a bit a drink.

And one of the leaders of our own local Labor Organization in Los Angeles mixes cocktails and damns capital at the same time. It would be a gross libel on workingmen to say that as a class they approve of utterances like those made at the meeting referred to. It is not the language which a manly, honest laborer would give utterance to, even if smarting under a keen sense of wrong. The Alta, in commenting upon these extraordinary speeches, wonders why the officers of the law did not exercise their authority at the meeting. "What," it asks, "is a Government good for, if ruffians at a large public meeting can encourage one another openly, in loud and plain tones, to hang worthy citizens, and to organize for resisting the city police and Federal army?" A very pertinent question, truly. OUR FORMIDABLE ARMY. In season and out of season; in time of war and in time of peace, there is always one set of people clamoring for a reduction of the army, and another set equally vociferous in demanding an increase. This clash of opinion is unusually loud just now,and the organs of the opposing factions are filled with arguments on the subject. We apprehend that to most of people the cry for a reduction of our army at this time is regarded as extremely puerile, when it is considered that the available men are found to be insufficient to cope with the few hundred savages who are now on the war path. The twenty-five thousand men who are employed by the United States as soldiers are a ridiculously small force to guard such a vast expanse of territory. But notwithstanding this patent fact, there are many who contend that 10,000 men are sufficient to garrison every fort, protect our frontier and perform all routine duty. What bosh! But the country is safe, for we read in an exchange that— The United States army is being rapidly put upon a war footing.

The tricks of the heathen Chinee are as numerous as the sands of the sea, but they lack the very essential merit of Caucasian "smartness," i.e., their unlighted ways are invariably discovered. If the proud Caucasian cannot compete with the Mongolian in multiplicity of tricks, he is at least entitled to the questionable honor of being better able to conceal his mollus operandi. But when he attempts to make the Chinamen his victim, he generally fails to accomplish much. One of the latest instances of Caucasian duplicity is published by the Nashville, (Tenn.) American. As is well known, the Chinese are great traffickers in Ginseng, a root which they believe possesses great medicinal virtues. The paper we have mentioned has an article under the caption, "The Tennessee way of getting rid of the Heathen Chinee, or what a Market Street man found in his Ginseng." The story, condensed, is that a parcel of large, fresh roots of Ginseng were found upon examination to be loaded with lead. The root was nicely slit open or bored out, and hot lead poured into the aperture, thus adding vastly to the weight of the Ginseng. A WANT OF THIS SECTION. It is a matter of wonder that in a county like Los Angeles, which produces such an enormous quantity of all kinds of fruit, there is no such thing as a canning establishment, where our surplus fruit could be manipulated into a saleable state. The conditions for such an enterprise are very favorable, and there is a fine business opening for a man with a capital of a couple of thousand dollars and some little experience in the business of canning fruit and vegetables. We would very much like to see such an enterprise started in Anaheim. If ten or twenty of our fruit-growers would put up $100 or $200 for the purpose of establishing an enterprise of this kind, and hire an experienced manager, we think that it would not only be a paying investment, but it would add greatly to the reputation of Anaheim. Think well of this proposition. The United States army is being rapidly put upon a war footing. Two more soldiers have reported for duty, and a man in the hospital with a sore leg will be ready for business in less than a fortnight. "FOR WAYS THAT ARE" ETC.

One of the most sublime instances of check on record is the announcement of W. D. Coleman, whose term of four years in the Virginia penitentiary will expire on the 28th of October, that he will put himself forward as a candidate for the Legislature from Richmond as soon as he is released. This Coleman was put in the penitentiary for committing a forgery in connection with the embezzlement of a large amount of State bonds, while he was Secretary of the Board of Public Works. We do not know whether this fact constitutes a qualification for a Virginia legislator; but we do know that in California it would hardly be accepted as a first-class recommendation in a candidate. We think there can be no question as to the impropriety of sending an inmate of the penitentiary to the legislature; although it will not be questioned that the interests of the public would frequently be best subserved by sending members of the Legislature to the penitentiary. AN ABUSED PRIVILEGE. There can be no doubt that the pardoning power, vested in the Governors of States, is at times sadly abused. Governor Irwin, for instance, has granted many indiscreet parndons, although he is certainly to be credited with doing less of that business than his immediate predecessors. The pardon of a man like ex-Harbor Commissioner Marks is alto-ly convicted in Black Pepper vs. Ants—A Bachelor's Discovery. EDS. GAZETTE.—Some time since an article appeared in your valuable paper and the subject, "California Ants, the California Housewife's Plague," which stated that everything had been tried in vain to keep those peats from invading everything in the house. I live in a newly-built frame house and very soon these peats invaded everything crawling upon the table at meal times. Becoming at last very angry, and having previously tried every remedy, I took ground black pepper and sprinkled it plantily on the table. Very soon I noticed the hazy exit of the anta. Noticing two cracks from which anta issued, I sprinkled them also likewise the shealy in the closet. Next morning there was none to be seen and since then I have left in that closet all sorts of edibles without their being antel, and at this data there is none to be seen. Therefore, I believe that this black pepper, having kept them away for a whole month, is the sure antidote to these pests. Will not our home-wives be glad to be able hereafter to keep their pies and puddings un-aided? I am most happy myself to be able to eat un-aided frijoles and tortillas, until some good-hearted maid will try how I like pies and puddings. AMIGO. Fairview vs. Westminster. ANAHEIM, Sept. 24th. EDS. GAZETTE.—I see by your issue of the 22d inst., that your Westminster correspondent "fears" we have forgotten how badly we were beaten by their Club-on-the 15th inst. Not a bit of it, friend J. T. We remember perfectly well how the score stood, as you will see below. But why did you not give the score when you attempted to report the evidence to all? And fur- The Marriage Age in Various Countries. EM DR. R.S. MACKENZIE. In compliance with instructions, the diplomatic and consular representatives of England in various countries have reported to Lord Derby. Foreign Minister, much information about the law and age-limitation of marriages therein. As this is somewhat eurious, as well as authentic, I shall here give the main facts. In the United States, marriage is by law only a civil contract, magistrates as well as clergyman having a right to celebrate. In some States a certain notice has to be given; but in most cases persons have only to walk into an alderman's office, the clergyman's room, or some place of public worship, and be pronounced man and wife in a short time, providing they declare that there is no legal impediment to their union. "Appleton's Cyclopedia" states that a man may thus be married at 15, and a woman if she is 10 years old. In England no male can be married under the age of 14; no woman under the age of 12. Civil marriages take place, on due notice of intention, before a register, but more generally in a place of worship. If a church of the Protestant Episcopal denomination, public announcement of intention must be given by the clergyman during morning worship on three successive Sundays. This is called "publishing the banns," and marriages can be celebrated, in church, only between 8 o'clock A.M. and noon. In a marriage by license, the banns need not be published. By a special license a marriage may be solemnized in any church, without notice, at any hour, and even in a private house. In Austria bride and bride groom must each have completed the age of 14. Persons un- AN ABUSED PRIVILEGE There can be no doubt that the pardoning power, vested in the Governors of States, is at times sadly abused. Governor Irwin, for instance, has granted many indiscreet pardons, although he is certainly to be credited with doing less of that business than his immediate predecessors. The pardon of a man like ex-Harbor Commissioner Marks is altogether indefensible. He was convicted in 1875 of embezzling public funds, and was sentenced to seven years in the State Prison. Marks is a wealthy man and was a prominent politician. His wealth procured him eminent counsel, who exhausted all legal means to free their client. But what a lavish outlay of money failed to accomplish political influence has succeeded in doing. At least that is the way a great many people will look at this pardon. Santa Ana Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Mr. C. G. Linington informs us that he has decided not to leave the sweet vales of the Santa Ana until he finishes out all about the "Albany Regency," alluded to in a former article of ours. All of our citizens regret to learn that Mr. Dodge, who has been here but a short time, is compelled to leave us. He erected the first brick building in Santa Ana. His example has been contagious, as Messrs. Watson, French and Bruner are following it. Mr. Hoge met with quite a painful accident last Sunday. He was out riding in a double-seated carriage, and accidentally fell backward and struck his head on the back seat. The contest for Justice of the Peace in San Joaquin township lies between Messrs. Straw and Humphries, of Santa Ana, and Messrs. Gardiner and McGibbon, of Orange. Mr. French, of Tustin City, is also a candidate. The slate-makers are busy putting up their little games, but these gentlemen are most prominently mentioned by the people. We have had the bitter chalice forced to our lips in regard to this matter, and we are inclined to taste some of the secrets, as a certain character was advised to do in "Grifith Gaunt." Representatives of the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank, in Los Angeles, are here negotiating for one of our 'brick buildings as a banking house. A hog case has been occupying the attention of the Santa Ana courts for the last three days. We visited the camp meeting previous to its closing and had our spiritual strength renewed. Several conversions took place and numerous incidents, but the most noticeable feature of the occasion was a theological discussion, which took place between Rev. Mr. Groves of Westminster, and Rev. Mr. Jassen of this place. Bro. Featherstun cut the gordian knot in regard to keeping the peace on the camp grounds by charging the jealous idiots, who occasioned all the disturbance, and order reigned in Warsaw. Three cheers for common sense Featherstun! It has been decided that owing to the fact that it will not change the result, it is expedient to institute suits for the purpose of throwing out the San Juan precinct on account hereafter to keep their pies and puddings un-aided? I am most happy myself to be able to eat un-anted frijoles and tortillas, until some good-hearted maid will try how I like pies and puddings. Fairview vs. Westminster. ANAHEIM, Sept. 24th. EDS. GAZETTE.-I see by your issue of the 22d inst., that your Westminster correspondent "fears" we have forgotten how badly we were beaten by their Club on the 15th inst. Not a bit of it, friend J. T. We remember perfectly well how the score stood, as you will see below. But why did you not give the score when you attempted to report the game, and thus do justice to all? And further, we do not consider we were beaten by the Alerts, but by the combined forces of Santa Ana, Tustin and Westminster, and are not discouraged by our first game by any means. FAIRVIEW.

He says further: "The bunches filled out very finely and promised a large vintage up to the extraordinary term of hot weather we had during the summer. During that term the berries wilted and a great many fell. The grapes are much smaller in size than usual, but the quality of the juice will be superior to that of a full crop. Notwithstanding we have only a half crop, there will not be a demand for more than three-fourths of that. One-fourth of that will rot on the vines. Mr. Dreyfus made strenuous efforts to get hold of the distillery across the river, but he found it too intricately bound up in the meshes of the law to be attainable. Had we that distillery in operation the demand for grapes would greatly exceed the supply, and they would command a fair price; but as the reverse is the case, not only a large portion of the crop will be useless, but the price realized will hardly pay for the cost of production." From what we can learn from conversation with the vineyardists in Anaheim, the crop here, although not by any means a full one, is greatly in excess of half a full crop. In the early part of the season the promise for a tremendous yield was excellent, but the causes noted by the Express nipped the expectations and the grapes in the bud, as it were. —It is said that the prominent actor in the shooting affray in San Diego, the participant of which we gave in our last issue, was a former hostler in the Planters' Stables, and known as "Skinner." His victim, Murdoch, has died of his wounds, and the murderer is in jail, awaiting the action of the Grand Jury. Since writing the above, we find the following paragraph in the San Diego Union. It will be seen that "Skinner" did not do the killing, but he is in a bad box anyway. "The young man who was in company with Sparks, who shot Murdoch, at the time of his arrest, and who resisted the officers, was brought before Justice J. R. Porter yesterday for examination on a charge of assault with deadly weapon with intent to commit murder. He gave his name as Michael Cassidy; but has gone by the name of Skinner while in the employ of the Coast England no male under the age of 12. Civil marriages take place on due notice of intention, before a register, but more generally in a place of worship. If a church of the Protestant Episcopal denomination, publication of intention must be given by the clergyman during morning worship on three successive Sundays. This is called "publishing the banns," and marriages can be celebrated, in church; only between 8 o'clock A.M. and noon. In a marriage by license, the banns need not be published. By a special license a marriage may be solemnized in any church, without notice, at any hour, and even in a private house. In Austra bride and bridegroom must each completed the age of 14. Persons under 24 cannot marry without parents' or guardians' consent; but the prohibition may be appealed against before a judge, who examines the motives of the refusal, and confirms or annuls it. In Baden the law allows a man to marry at 18,and the woman at 15;but the consent of parents is necessary until they have respectively completed the age of 25 and 21.Conseat being withheld,the young couple cannot appeal, as in Austria.Want of pecuniary means,bad moral character and physical infirmities are held to be sufficient legal motives for refusal. In Bavaria the legal age of marriage varies for males from 14 to 18,and for females from 12 to 15,在 different districts. In Belgiumthe age is 18 for males,and 15 for females;but the King may give a disenation from this rule for grave motives. In Saxe-Coburg Gotha,nno male can marry before he is 21 years old.In some rare cases where a wife is wanted to governthe household.exemption may be granted.Females may marry if they have been confirmed.at the age of 14.Few do marrybefore 17. In Denmark,the ages are 20 for the manand 16 for the girl;but in some casesthe Minister of Justice may dispense with this rule. In Franceno man can marry before he is 18;no woman before 14.Under old monarchythe ages were 14 and 12;but it mostly mapped them.in such cases,thet whenthe ceremony was performed,the young couple separated until they had attaineda more mature age. In Greece males cannot marry before 14nor females before 12 years of age.In The Ionian Islands,now part of Greece,the age is16forthe male,and14forthe female. In Hesse Darmstadtthe rule was thatthe man must be 25;but this was reduced seven years ago,to21,and the number of marriageshas much increased in consequence There is no limit as tothe girl's age.it being leftto parents and guardians to take care that no mere child is wedded.

"Romeo" is well posted in the local politics it seems when he spoke of the different candidates for constable and being between Republicans and Democrats! Post up or shut up "Romeo" or seek information from thy Juliet. Our little friend from Egypt, Illinois, has concluded to go into politics again. He succeeded in defeating his friend H. K. S. O'Melveny for County Judge, and now he is going to Upper Santa Ana to put precinct in his pocket and walk off with it, and put it in the box for his little Straw man. It puts us in mind of the effigies that were stuck up on the picket lines when the enemy were retreating. The idiotic cry of "ring" has again been raised by this same party. He has not an ounce more of bone, muscle and brain than he requires to keep from hurting himself, but he don't measure it the same as lookers-on do. Mr. Hall, formerly of New York, has opened a large assortment of groceries and provisions opposite the Santa Ana Hotel, on Main street. It is now reported that the Jim Keene operating on Wall street is not really Jim Keene, but a prominent Turkish official who fled from his native country on account of a love match which terminated disastrously for him. The Harom Record, an influential Court journal, published at Constantinople, professes to know all about Keene's early history, and says that he was a reckless, daredevil sort of a fellow, and a graduate of Mahomet University, Kaki-Sahra-Bazaar, an interior town of some pretensions. The journal relates some very interesting anecdotes in connection with Keene's boyhood—but we forbear to repeat them. A Hackensack man was at midnight creeping softly along the bedroom floor, on his hands and knees, and was feeling tenderly under the bureau for something he had hidden there the evening before; but his wife woke and said, "Pete! what under the heavens are you doing?" "Dear," said he, "I'm walking in my sleep, and dreaming that I am plucking water lilies from the soft blue bosom of the lake." How to get that flask out of there before she got up in the morning was what worried him more than the water kills did. The Express of Saturday has following: The Committee of five, appointed by the last railroad mass meeting, came together to-day, and agreed to a plan of action in relation to the organization of a company to build a wharf and warehouse. Twenty names will be selected to serve on the first Board of Directors, nine of whom will be selected as such Board by the President elected by the Twenty; and a subscription list will be circulated among the business men and farmers, who will be called upon to subscribe to the stock. The stock will be non-transferrable, and a majority of it will be held in trust for the people by the Board of Trustees. It is not contemplated at present to do more than build a wharf and warehouse at a suitable point. When that is accomplished, we shall take such steps as may recommend themselves to us to start out with our system of narrow-gauge railroad. By careful management that road will not only reach this city, but in the course of time it will be extended to every populous point in our immediate region. Herald: We learn from Mr. Ira Carpenter, who has a ranch on the San Gabriel, that yesterday morning the river rose rapidly at his dam, that he was compelled to cut it away to prevent it flooding his place and washing off his fences. He says this may have been caused by the breaking of dams above him; but he has noticed that the natural volume of water in the river has greatly increased the last few days. This is also the result of his observation in other streams, and he deduces from it the conclusion that we shall have an early Winter. It has always been a sign of a wet season in California when the spring begin to pour forth in large volume just before the Winter sets in. Mr. L. Seebold, a well known surveyor of Los Angeles, died suddenly on Sunday afternoon. A paper published at Rock Island, Ill., tells this: Years ago, when Rock Island was a small village, and its people had lots of fun all to themselves, one of our very sober and dignified citizens put his own head under one end of a yoke, and a little bull's head under the other, to teach the animal how to be useful and work. When he found the bull was running away with him down a dirt road toward a crowd around the country store in Illinois street, he measured sixteen feet at a jump, kept up with the ball, and yelled at the top of his voice: "Look out! Here we come, darn our fool souls! Head us somebody!" and when halked, and the yoke was being lifted from his neck, he yelled: "Un-yoke the bull; never mind me. I will stand." AZETTE.

In seven years Rome has run up a debt of seventy-five millions of francs avowedly for the purpose of rebbling off an excess of ancient dinguisma. The Vatican has prohibited the singing of the Te Deum in the churches of Austria-Hungary upon the occasion of victories gained either by the Turkish or Russian armies. Tweed's daughter, who married Magninis in 1870, and whose wedding presents cost $69,000, is now living in similar poverty, the bridal presents and finery having all been sent to the pawnshops. Owing to the wearing away of the rock foundation, Smeton's marvellous edifice, the famous Eddystone Lighthouse, is deformed. The Trinity House have decided to take it down and erect another lighthouse in its stead. The women voters of Cheyenne, Wyoming, have given up trying to purify the polls." The rush and jam of men around the boxes have prevented many women from voting, and they now have the exclusive use of the hotel reading room for that purpose. Two female judges of election are appointed to superintend the boxes. Lost articles found in the streets and public vehicles in Paris are deposited at the Prefecture of Police. In 1876 there were deposited 33,958 francs in coin, 578,579 francs in notes and securities, 2,600 articles of jewelry, 212 gold watches, and 161 of silver. So many umbrellas are taken that no account of them is kept. Only about one-tenth of the articles are claimed; and the proportion of money claimed is even less. One of the Middlesex magistrates in England has just declined an offer of $4,500 for his collection of foreign postage stamps, but, on the other hand, an extensive collection of condensed telegrams. A dispatch from Rocklin, speaking of the murder by Chinese at three places next day about Saratoga, the murdered man having a teamster who was missing turns out to be a mistake. A man named Boore had borrowed a team, and learning of search being made for the suspects he numbered in and cleared up the mistake. No word has been received yet of the capture of Sam, the missing murderer. A meeting has been called by some of the citizens for the purpose of discussing also Chinese question. It is disputed that the Central Pacific Railroad Company are going to put Chinese on the section again at this place and it is thought the meeting is called to halt over the subject. The workingmen hold a meeting in front of the new City Hall than Francisco on Sunday afternoon. From 600 to 800 were present. The meeting was orderly and good natured. Reference was made by one of the speakers to the sentiments attained at recent meetings in Union Hall, and those statements were indorsed by the assemblage. A resolution was offered to have a street parade during the week, but it was finally tabled, the President of the meeting suggesting that it would be better to further perfect their organization before taking that step. He further reminded those present that if any ill-disposed parties were to utilize such an occasion to smash a few Chinese wash-houses the blame would be laid on the shoulders of the workingmen. It was decided to continue holding open-air Sunday meetings until such time as the workingmen could afford to hire a hall for the purpose. It was announced that, at the coming session of the Legislature, bills would be offered looking to an amelioration of the working classes, and that, next Summer, they proposed to open a new branch of export from this port—that of shipping Chinamen back to their own country.

One of the Middlesex magistrates in England has just declined an offer of $4,500 for his collection of foreign postage stamps, but on the other hand, an extensive collection of 17,000 varieties was sold in London recently for $4,000, which is believed to be the highest price that such collection has ever fetched in England. In France, however, the man reached a higher pitch, for there an exceptionally complete collection was sold privately for $15,000. Harrison Burt and wife, both deaf mutes, live at Buck Hollow, New York, and are an industrious, intelligent and charming young couple. While at work in the Crown Point Iron mines, Hammondville, recently, Mr. Burt was assisting to drill out an old charge, when it exploded, nearly killing him. One arm had to be amputated, one eye was blown entirely out and the other injured seriously, and his system generally racked and lacerated. Strange to say, the concussion completely restored his sense of hearing which has been entirely dormant since he had scarlet fever when only four years old. The cotton seed oil trade has increased greatly of late years. The article is largely shipped to Europe, whence it is reshipped to this country in the guise of "pure olive oil." The great Corliss engine of the Philadelphia Exhibition is on its way back to Providence, and sixty cars are required for its transportation. Georgia will vote on the adoption of the new Constitution on the first Monday in December, and in the meanwhile the papers are discussing the location of the capital: Atlanta and Milledgeville have each their advocates. The hop yield this year in the State of New York is the largest on record, and is of excellent quality. It increases yearly, and is expected to become a very profitable crop. The demand for hops increases with the growing liking for lager beer. Two Seventh Day Baptists were recently fined $4 each in a town in central Pennsylvania for working on Sunday. They refused to pay and were sent to jail for four days. They claim that the State law of 1794 is unconstitutional, and that it is opposed to any Sabbath at all, since it abolishes the Sabbath of Scripture and ordains a new one which is really no Sabbath. On a Sunny hillside one mile from Passaic are the Mount Prospect Vineyards. Forty acres of land are covered with vines. Twenty years were spent by Alfred Speer in bringing the vineyard to such perfection. On one side of the hill are Concords, on the other are imported Oporto vines from Portugal. Mr. Speer imported at first five thousand vines, but all except 200 of the delicate vines died. These became acclimated, and more than 20,000 vines grace the hillside. The bunches are of moderate size, the grapes closely set, and very small. They have a bitter but not unpleasant taste. Mr. Speer invited several physicians from this city to visit him yesterday and examine his vintage. About thirty were his guests. Their chief attention was paid to the Port grape wine, made from the Oporto grape. The physicians spoke very highly of it. The Socialistic claret was also much commanded. Mr. Speer makes about 20,000 gallons this year.—N.Y.Sun. The New York World's Washington special says a letter received from a public man on the Pacific Coast says the Pacific Coast delegation will urge upon Congress at the coming session the great necessity of some legislation on the Chinese question. The report of the Joint Commission of Congress on this subject was not even considered in the last session, owing to the overshadowing interest of the Presidential contest. A permanent Chinese Embassy and Chinese Consulship will soon be established at San Francisco, it is said, and will contribute to the solution of existing difficulties. The schooner Newton Booth which has arrived at San Francisco from the Arctic Ocean reports that, of seventy men left or abandoned by the whaling fleet last year, only two—both Kanakas—have reached Point Barrow. All the rest are supposed to have perished in the ice pack. A telegram from Tucson says: There is a report here that the 47 Indians killed last week were all women and children. If this is so the situation is worse than ever. Guaymas letter of the 11th says that Boston capitalists stand ready to build a railway to Hermosillo when Congress approves the concession granted by President Diaz. Senator L.G.Pacheco, of Sonora, has left for the city of Mexico. He is a member of Congressman Pacheco of your State. Everything is quiet in Sonora. The steamship Diego, from New York Sept. 1st, for Liverpool, was burned at sea on the 8th istant, in latitude 46 north. The officers and crew were saved. Secretary Sherman telegraphs to the New York Evening Post, over his own signature, a positive contradiction of the report that he says he will be a candidate for the United States Senate, and that he has in any way compelled Ohio clerks to go home to vote. A dispatch from Chattanooga, Tenn., says: The entire and abundant crops of cotton, corn and fodder in the valley of the Black Warrior, Alabama, were swept away by the river's sudden rise of sixty-three feet, which was within two feet of the terrible freshet of June, 1872. The planters had just commenced picking cotton, and had not hauled the corn and fodder from the fields. The cotton crop destroyed is estimated at 30,000 bales. Most of the planters are ruined. Tuscaloosa is about the head of the devastated section. Her merchants had advanced heavily on the growing crops. The Red-Cloud and Spotted-Tail Indian Chiefs have gone to Washington to protest against the removal of the Indians from the agencies to the Missouri river, and to secure a Government guarantee for their transfer to farms. The party consists of twenty-one chiefs, among whom are Spotted-Tail, Red-Cloud Young-Man-Afraid-of-his-Horse Am The age of puberty is at the marriage age is above being 18 for males and 16 for females, 18 in the case of males for females, 18 in the case of males for females, 14 for females; made marriage merely a leasing of a house or ages are 18 for males and 14 for females; made marriage emancipates but a curator is appointed until he has attained the legal marriage ages are 18 exemptions, however, for Caucasus may marry, the females at 13, and in the Russian Bishop of the size a marriage six months allowed by law either for female.

The party consists of twenty-one chiefs among whom are Spotted-Tail Indian Chiefs Anton Thorn ran away from his home at Livermore, Alameda county. Cal., during the latter part of June, 1876. Since that time he has not been heard of. His parents are anxious to hear of his whereabouts. He is now sixteen and a half years of age, is very dark complexioned, and has a black mole on the right temple. His hair is of a dark ashburn or brown and straight falling over this forehead; and if cut short a scar can be plainly seen on the top of his head. His eyes are of a very dark brown color and somewhat sunken. When he left home he was about five feet high and weighed about 120 pounds. His forehead is rather low, the nose prominent,and although dark,his complexion is floral. Although not speaking German he could understand almost every word of it. Any information sent to the father of the boy Philip Thorn Livermore Cal., will be most gratefully received." Four children while playing about an old building on Indian ersek pulled off some of the clapboards including it when they came across a yeast powder box containing between $150 and $200 in gold dust. Who put the money there and when it was done were questions which nobody can answer. Some think it was Chasley Piffer who was killed by a bug while building a dam in 1871. —Trinity Journal.
