About 10 o'clock Monday morning a fire occurred in Los Angeles in the building on Main Street in which is located the Masonic Hall and Lehman's furniture store. The building suffered to the extent of $500; Lehman's loss is $12,000, and the Masonic Lodge had their furniture damaged by smoke and water. There was a meeting of the Democratic County Central Committee yesterday afternoon. As a result of it the Chairman was instructed to telegraph to our representatives at Sacramento that the sentiment of their constituents was overwhelmingly against the election of Hon. James T. Farley as United States Senator. — Tuesday's Herald. M. L. Wecks, whose mishap in being thrown from his buggy we noticed on Saturday, we are glad to learn, is doing well. The accident was rather serious. He was coming from San Gabriel, and when driving along over the hard mesa road, was thrown from the buggy, falling upon his head. The fall caused a frightful wound, tearing the skull for a space almost as large as the hand. — Star. We had the pleasure of a call from our old friend, Don Mateo Keller, who has recently returned from New York, where he has been making a market for our California wines. He says the times in the East are excruciatingly hard, and money is exceedingly scarce. But out of those hard times our California wine interests are gathering good. The people cannot afford to drink the costly imported wines, and they are taking very extensively to our cheaper manufacture. Don Mateo says we shall yet come off victors. It is only a question of time when the wines of California will assert themselves in the East and force a recognition which will prove very beneficial to our vignerons. — Express. WEEKLY EIM GA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1877. Yesterday morning's Star says: "No little indignation was aroused among the Democracy of this city yesterday on learning that our delegation in the State Legislature were voting steadily with the Farleyites on the Senatorial question. So long as they voted for Sepulveda, they met the expectations of their constituents; but when that gentleman's name was withdrawn from the caucus they failed altogether. Much painful surprise as well as indignation was both felt and manifested at their course in this matter. A telegram to this effect was sent yesterday to Senator Smith and Representatives Ellis and Holloway. Among the more violent Democrats there was much talk of burning the gentlemen in effigy. Their constituency generally, however, are filled with bitter feeling toward the delegation, especially Senator Smith, because he declared his sentiments so plainly to the contrary on this question while he was a candidate for election, that such action on his part was not expected." Mr. Jotham Bixby, of the Cerritos, says that over four inches of rain fell in that vicinity during the recent storm. He says that the dry licks that have not been filled since the flood of 1868 are now running over, and that the gulleches and ravines are boiling with water. He believes that a rain-cloud must have burst in that neighborhood to have caused so great a fall of water. The ground is wet to a depth of five inches, and vegetation is shooting up everywhere. An Untimely Death. Washington Letter. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 1877. The extra session of Congress has had a demoralizing effect on the regular session. Senators and Representatives are not in a condition for work. They are looking forward to an early holiday, recess, and a long one. They are not transacting business. The daily sessions are short and uninteresting. A little excitement was apparent in the Senate yesterday when next Tuesday, by a vote of 40 to 18, was fixed as the day for considering the bill to remonetize silver. The vote was looked upon as a test of a strength, those who favored The day being considered friendly to the bill and vice versa. But cancuses and executive sessions somewhat relieve the monotony. Disagreements between Republican Congressmen and the President are freely discussed whenever a caucus is held, always, so far, with good humor. In an executive session of the Senate yesterday, wise men of both parties treated of public affairs as they should always be treated, without bitterness or personalities. Even the dignified Senior Senator from New York is said to have discussed the Tenure of Office Act—passed by a Republican Congress to restrain President Johnson—in such a manner as to keep on the faces of other dignified Senators a continual smile, and one or two, probably newly-elected Senators, laughed aloud. It is among the early probabilities that this Tenure of Office Act will be repealed or much amended. It was passed in a supposed emergency, and even those who then favored DELHI. Story of the Famous Indian Mutiny. A correspondent of the New York Observer, writing from Delhi, gives the following condensed history of the mutiny: The natives chose their own time to revolt, and their plans were so well laid, and so secretly executed, that hardly a suspicion was raised. The native soldiery within the city numbered over 60,000 men, completely armed, both infantry and artillery, and the English numbered only 7,900. At that time Delhi was the home of many great families whose riches were gone. The palaces were occupied by aristocratic Orientals with more pride than money. The king was old and feeble, supported by the English, and now king only in name. The millions of Mohammedans in and around Delhi hated the English. Great clouds of dust were seen along the road from Meerut, caused by troopers galloping toward the city. It was a surprise to the English and to all but a few natives that were in the secret. The news spread and the worst suspicions were aroused. Orders were sent to the guard rooms when the treachery was discovered,—trenchery everywhere. Those who had been apparent friends all at once were full of hate, filled with bloody thoughts and ready for bloody deaths. The fierce and relentless battle-eyes of the Mohammedans was heard, quickly followed by a massacre for "the Faith." The Europeans early caught the alarm, and fled in search of a place of safety. Some few reached the Ridge and some few hid away, but most were massacred, men, women and children alike. The slaughter extended not An Untimely Death. A shadow of gloom was cast over our community on Saturday by the intelligence of the drowning of Mr. Daniel Schmidt, an old and well known citizen of Anaheim. The facts in the case, as near as we were able to gather them, were as follows: Mr. Schmidt, in company with Mr. Johannsen, started on Saturday in a light buggy for a visit to Cucamonga. In endeavoring to cross the creek in Brea Canyon, near the mouth of the canyon, one of the single-trees broke. Mr. Johannsen jumped from the buggy to secure the horses. The current which was running very swiftly, overturned the buggy, throwing Mr. Schmidt into the stream. He was bundled up with two overcoats and a rubber coat, which rendered ineffectual his desperate struggles to reach the shore. Mr. Johannsen followed the doomed man as he was hurled rapidly down the stream, and tried every possible means to render him assistance. The body was thrown upon the bank about three miles from the place where the buggy capsized. Mr. Johannsen returned to town with the horses which had freed themselves from the wreck of the wagon. The body of Mr. Schmidt was brought to town and was buried on Sunday. Rain Record. [From the Los Angeles Express.] We publish below the rain record of this State from 1849 to the past year. The record was kept by Mr. Thomas Tennant, of San Francisco, and is of course subject to some slight modification at this point. We have no authentic record of the rainfall in Los Angeles, prior to 1870; but we have before us the figures for the five past years. The total rainfall during that time in San Francisco was 96.41 inches, and in Los Angeles 92.64—a difference of only 3.77 inches. The variation is so slight that the annexed table will do for this latitude for all practical purposes. It will be seen that the great bulk of the season's rain falls after January 1st in San Francisco, and we are disposed to believe that this peculiarity is far more pronounced in Southern California than in the northern part of the State. Here is the record from 1849 to 1877 inclusive, and the rainfall before and after January 1st of each year: 1849-50—Before Jan. 1, 18; after Jan. 1, 15.10; total for the season, 33.10 inches. 1850-51—Before Jan. 1, 2.30; after Jan. 1, 5.10; total for the season, 7.40 inches. treated of public affairs as they should always be treated, without bitterness or personalities. Even the dignified Senior Senator from New York is said to have discussed the Tenure of Office Act—passed by a Republican Congress to restrain President Johnson—in such a manner as to keep on the faces of other dignified Senators a continual smile, and one or two, probably newly-elected Senators, laughed aloud. It is among the early probabilities that this Tenure of Office Act will be repealed or much amended. It was passed in a supposed emergency, and even those who then favored it, admit that it is no longer necessary. It is believed the bill to secure representation at Paris in 1878 will go to the President in a few days. It gains friend steadily. Without necessarily being believers in the policy of using the people's money otherwise than for necessary expenses of Government, I think we may all see that an expenditure of this kind will open to our manufacturers new markets for their goods and help to make known to the people of other countries the desirableness of this as a place of permanent residence. Every one, it is to be hoped, will be pleased to learn that there is to be made at once an energetic effort to complete the Washington Monument, as first designed. It will be remembered that Congress appropriated money for the purpose over a year ago, and while it is useless to discuss the propriety of the appropriation, it is proper that the money should be used as mentioned above rather than to pile on the unfinished shaft some monatrosity or other art, as has once or twice been proposed. The expectation of our citizens that many more than usual number of persons of distinction and fashion would make this city, during this session of Congress, their residence, do not seem to be realized. As shown at most places of fashionable resort, like Newport, Long Branch, etc.; the tendency among such a desirable class of temporary residents is to ownership of the property they occupy. Here, owing to our enormous municipal debt, and the uncertainty as to taxation—we being the powerless wards of changing Congressmen—investments of that kind are not popular. Give us a fixed form of local Government, and limit by act of Congress the tax upon real estate, and our unequal climate and the fact that this is the seat of National Government would doubtless bring here thousands of the best people of all sections to spend the colder months. Among the confirmations by the Senate in extra session none gave more satisfaction to non-partisan people then that of Gen'l Harlan as Justice of the Supreme Court: There were no objections made to him except on political grounds. It is important, too, that this Court should have its full number of Justices—nine. In many interesting cases now before the Court, the eight members were equally divided.

infidels into the sea. The massacre commenced the 16th day of May, and in August the brave Nicholson joined the army, but the sage train did not arrive until September, when the first battery opened fire. Others were established near and still nearer the walls, and soon fifty guns and mortars rained a shower of shot and shell upon the city, day and night. The mutiny was spreading over the land, and if not crushed at Delhi would spread everywhere, and so an assault was made. The one led by Nicholson scaled the Cashmere Gate against tremendous odds. The storming party carried bags of powder on their heads and laid it beside the Gate. The enemy seemed paralyzed at the audacity, and hardly fired a shot at first, but rallied, and from the top of the Gate poured forth upon them a deadly fire. The fuse was applied and a terrific roar was heard; the Gate fell, the entire column followed the storming party, and a hand-to-hand light followed. Before the sun went down that night 66 English officers and 1,104 men were killed or badly wounded. In one of the narrow streets Nicholson, the brave leader, fell to rise no more. The city was not won that day. The natives filled every house and were on the house-tops, and continued the fight for five days. The natives placed liquors in the streets, of which the English drank so freely that it proved more destructive than all the balls or bayonets. On the fifth day of the conflict the city fell into the hands of the English, and the defeated and terror-stricken rebels fled in every direction. The English then had their revenge. The glories of the House of Timour departed never to return. The Delhi princes were shot down without trial, and then followed quick and wholesale executions with uncalled-for cruelties; and, as it afterward appeared, many innocent persons suffered. The leaders in that fearful massacre deserved their fate, and no doubt their swift and awful death struck terror to the other Sepoys, and probably prevented many from rising. The Hindos believe that if the body is dismembered, and much more dissipated, the transgression of it may be delayed, and leave it a wandering ghost for an indefinite time. It was this belief that led to the practice of "blowing men from guns." It was to strike terror and not to cause suffering for the death thus inflicted was instantaneous and painless. Some have supposed the victim was thrust into a large cannon, or bound to a chain with his head at the cannon's mouth, and thus blown to pieces; but neither are correct. A stake was sunk into the ground about eight feet from the cannon, and the victim bound to it with his back to the cannon, which is loaded with blank cartridge. The body is entirely dissipated. GAZETTE. APR 22, 1877. A Word for Office-Seekers. "Let the office seek the man," is a time honored maxim, familiar alike to the schoolboy, the disappointed politician, and the self-constituted reformer; but men of sense seldom utter it. They know that places of trust are open to all, and it is perfectly proper and legitimate for men to seek them, and use all honorable means to attain them. The error of office-seekers is inaspiring to positions which they are utterly incompetent to fill. It is the horde of ward bummers and pot-house politicians that bring discredit upon the American system of choosing officers. Failing to consider qualification, they nominate indiscriminately. They send to the Legislature men who have not the requisite qualification for a constable. They place on the Bench men whose ignorance of law should prohibit their admission to the Bar. Their intimate associates are men of little culture and less moral worth, and from this class too many of our offices are filled. It is useless to deny that party conventions—especially in cities—are controlled by ignorant men. This is true in both the great political parties. So long as this state of affairs exists we will have incompetents in office. Thus, together with the disgraceful mind-throwing which is its legitimate outgrowth, prevents men of real merit from aspiring to office. They avoid the contest for two reasons—the chances are against them in a convention composed of ignorant and irresponsible men; and they shrink from the abuse that is sure to hapep upon them during the canvass. Is there not a remedy for this evil? Let men of character "take a hand" in politics, attend primary meetings and advocate the claims of honest and competent men for office. Let the sifting process begin at the ward meetings, and party conventions will no longer be controlled by bummers. Good men will aspire to office, defalcation and malfeasance will be rare, and the political NEWS IN BRIEF. It is significant of how wolf-infested France was early in the century, that in 1802 an English King's messenger was attacked near Boulogne, and his horses badly bitten. The farmers and sheep-raisers of Ocill county, Md., have passed resolutions declaring that all dogs running at large shall be considered at the mercy of the community. The winter season of Texas usually lasts from the first of December to the middle of February, and its most distinguished feature is the "northers," a periodical wind totally unknown in other States. They occur on an average twice a week and last a couple of days. They are proceeded by a warm, close, summerish atmosphere, and during their continuance the thermometer not frequently touches 17°. The cold is the severest imaginable, not stenely, as in the North, but of a keen, searching, biting description. A school teacher in La Fayette, Ind., punishes saucy children by placing their fingers in the corners of their months and stretching them until they howl with pain. A citizen of Newburyport, Mass., is fattening five hundred frogs upon which he expects to feast. He keeps them in a barrel and feeds them Indian meal, and takes as much pride in them as if they were a coop of prince chickens. Dr. Raven of Broadstairs, England, reports that he furnished a little girl with about seven inches square of new skin upon a spot which had been burned. Three hundred "skin grafts" were used. A few were furnished by several Sisters of Marry, but nearly all were taken from a living pig. Papa Wrangel, as the Berlin gamina called the old General to his face, persisted to the last in lying on a sofa in full uniform instead of going to bed, saying that a soldier must always hold himself in readiness to wait on his Sovereign. A man was lately liberated from a prison in Madrid, who was considered as implicated Fighting on the Border. New Orleans, Dec. 16.—The Galveston News special reports that the El Paso trouble has broken out anew, and fighting between the State troops and Mexicans has been going on for two days. The following dispatch was received by the Governor from the Sheriff of El Paso county: “There was lighting all day yesterday at San Elizario between the State troops and Mexicans from both sides of the river. (Signed) CULAS KENBER.” The Governor sent the following dispatch to President Hayes: “I am officially informed that citizens of Mexico, in connection with citizens of El Paso county, Texas, of Mexican birth, were fighting all day Wednesday with a detachment of State troops who were aiding our civil authorities. The Mericans troops being too strong to be repulsed by the State troops, and it being impossible to raise a civil posse from the citizens, who are nearly all of Mexican blood and sympathy, and having no reinforcements within 100 miles, I ask the aid of such United States troops as may be nearest the scene of action, to repel the invasion of our territory. I have the honor to be ecte, (Signed) R. B. HUBBARD, Governor of Texas. Washington, Dec. 15.—The news of trouble in El Paso county, Texas, and the telegram of Gov. Hubbard to the President, calling for assistance from United States troops to repel the invasion of Texan territory, caused some excitement here, but the Government advises do not warrant the impression that other than local troubles have arisen. There is no idea that the Mexican Government is making any hostile demonstrations. So far as can be learned, the unfriendly movements are nearly of the same nature as those which were the subject of attention from the Department some time ago. It is caused by a question as to the proprietorship of salt-pits in El Paso county, and creates much disorder. The Government does not consider the trouble international. The dispatches were promptly referred to the Secretary of War, who, after consultation with Gen. Sherman, gave directions for mustering forces in Texas in such positions as to give whatever aid may be necessary to prevent assault upon Americans or their property. Chicago, Dec. 15.—The Tribune’s Washington special says Mill and Schleicher’s private advices from El Paso, received to-day, caused great excitement here. The Texas delegation called on the President and asked him to adopt measures to preserve the peace and protect the citizens. The President said he had ordered United States troops to El Paso from the nearest point, which is 300 miles off, and he feared they would arrive too late to do much good. The administration would do all that was possible. Prompt Punishment. Dr. Raven of Broadstairs, England, reports that he furnished a little girl with about seven inches square of new skin upon a spot which had been burned. Three hundred “skin grafts” were used. A few were furnished by several Sisters of Meny, but nearly all were taken from a living pig. Papa Wrangel, as the Berlin gamins called the old General to his face, perished to the last in lying on a sofa in full uniform instead of going to bed, saying that a soldier must always hold himself in roadiness to wait on his Sovereign. A man was lately liberated from a prison in Madrid, who was considered as implicated in the murder of Gen. Prim in 1893. After 7 years of incarceration the court now decides that there was no evidence against him. An iron mountain, 10,500 feet high, and rivalling the famous iron mountain of Missouri, has been discovered in Colfax county, New Mexico. The ore is almost entire pure iron, and in connection with the immense quantities of coal found in Colfax county, this huge deposit of ore must at no distant day become the source of industries which will gather and support a large and thriving population. Next to wine, cider is the liquor most consumed in France, but within the last 20 years the consumption has fallen from 42 to 35 gallons per head annually. Its use is now confined to the northwestern departments. The consumption of beer steadily increases but is almost entirely confined to the departments contiguous to Belgium. Experience has demonstrated that white wines are much more likely than red to set on the nervous system. Prince Bismarck likes to find everything in his study in disorder and general topsy-turviness, just as he left it—bottles, mugs, cigars and cigar-boxes, old gloves, books, pamphlets, papers, letters, spurs, stray antiques, swords, hand mirrors, pistols, fiddle strings, flutes—these are all articles he wants to put his hand on at short notice, and see lying around loose on the table, floor and sofa. Whenever he discovers signs that his wife or the servants have been trying to set things to rights a terrible row is raised. The Rev. R. W. Dale says in a sermon to the Yale theological students: “To insist that the soul will be punished in material fires is irrational as to insist that the saved will dwell in a city paved with material gold. You may think that the language of Christ and his apostles suggests that, although the doom of the condemned is irrevocable, their sufferings will end in the exhaustion of life and strength and in a second death, from which there will be no resurrection.” Brother Dale is said to be a believer in that doctrine. A Scotch minister recently told his hearers, who were mostly farmers, that he saw no harm in garnering the harvest on the Sabbath, rather than let it spoil. There is a rod now in pickle for the rash man’s shoulders. Captain Jonathan Walker, “the man with the branded hand,” is living at Muskegon, Mich., in straitened circumstances. Thirty-three years ago he was hashed, fined, imprisoned and branded “S. S.” (slave stealer) for running off some slaves from Pennsacola. It is proposed to raise a fund for his benefit. General Toulleben, the famous Russian engineer, is a Jew, and had to renounce his faith and become a Greek Catholic before he could receive the promotion the Czar desired to bestow upon him for his distinguished services in the Crimea.

Prompt Punishment. Hot Creek, Wy., Dec. 15.—At Silver Springs, 25 miles South of here, a man of Company A, 3d Cavalry, one of the three now en route to the Hills, named Kennedy, while under the influence of liquor yesterday, threatened the life of a sergeant of his Company named Schaffer, but was prevented at the time from carrying his threat into execution. After arriving in camp in the evening, Kennedy procured a carbine, went to the tent where he supposed Schaffer would be found and opening the flap fired at the first man he saw, killing him instantly, but instead of Schaffer it proved to be John A. Von Mall, the first sergeant of the Company. Kennedy was immediately disarmed and put under charge of a guard. Great excitement prevailed among the men of the Company by whom Von Mall was greatly respected, and some time during the night the guard was overpowered, a blanket was thrown over his head and at daylight this morning the body of Kennedy was found suspended to the ridge pole of the guard tent by the neck, life being extinct. Von Mall's body was brought here to-day and will be forwarded to Fort Laramie for interment. To the Public.

Thirty-three years ago he was lashed, fined, imprisoned and branded "S. S." (slave stealer) for running off some slaves from Pennacola. It is proposed to raise a fund for his benefit. General Toilleben, the famous Russian engineer, is a Jew, and had to renounce his faith and become a Greek Catholic before he could receive the promotion the Czar desired to bestow upon him for his distinguished services in the Crimea. A Greenville, S. C., man's cow fell into a dry well 30 feet deep, and he couldn't get her out until an ingenious colored individual suggested that he fill the well up. This was done, and the bovine kept on top of the dirt until she was high enough to leap out. The Bulgarians are the most ignorant people of Europe. Their ferociousness is said to have originated the well-known term "bugaboo" with which Vienna parents formerly threatened their offspring. A SE Louis Grand Jury recommends that because many petty offences are committed for the sake of obtaining free board in the prisons, the whipping post be used again. Pemmican, the favorite food in the coldest parts of British America, is made of buffalo meat and fat. The meat is thoroughly dried in thin slices, and then pounded almost to powder with clubs or stones. It is next put into bags of buffalo hide, and mixed with its own weight of boiling fat. This compound is wonderfully compact, and a very small quantity is enough for a meal. County Treasurer Robinson of Batavia, Ohio, whose safe was riffled of $24,000, has been driven insane by the robbery. His predecessor in office was a defaulter, and his own anxiety about the safety of the public money was increased by the intense feeling against the old treasurer. He had a morbid fear that the safe would be robbed, and himself accused of the crime. He now imagines that he is under suspicion, which is not this fact. Rev. J. J. Bloomer, pastor of St. Patrick's Catholic, Elmira, N. Y., was committed to jail for contempt of the Recorder's Court, in refusing to answer a question put by the Court in reference to a case of alleged bigamy. The pastor stands on the ground of professional confidence, not Church discipline. A young woman has begun the study of architecture in Syracuse University.
