The invitations were yesterday delivered to the Committee having in charge the arrangements for the Masquerade Ball, and we presume they will be sent out to-day. We are certain the recipients will agree with us that the invitations are exceedingly neat in design and very elegantly printed. A. Scharf, an old resident of San Bernardino, committed suicide by taking morphine on Wednesday morning. In a note written before he took the fatal dose, he assigned as a reason the loss of his wife and children by death and a run of bad luck in business ventures. A man named S. C. Diefendorf, a former resident of Los Angeles, has married Miss Smith, of Carson, Nevada. The only remark-markable thing about this transaction is the fact that Diefendorf has already four wives living. As a Los Angeles paper remarks, he must be a perfect "divil among the gurls." Captain Goodall, of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, is in Los Angeles. He says that his company has caused cheap freight and fares to be realized by the people of Oregon, and our turn will come next. He declares himself as in favor of accommodating the charges of his line to the interests of our section as soon as he can do so on business principles, and his trip here is to see what is best to be done. In our last issue we stated that a new wagon had been manufactured at the establishment of Messrs. McDermott and Grimshaw. It was a carriage, and not a wagon. It is a superb piece of workmanship and the only covered carriage ever manufactured in Anaheim, and proves beyond a doubt that these gentlemen can turn out as fine an article as can be purchased any where and at as reasonable rates. We would advise our friends to patronize home industry. The dedication of the new College at Downey City will take place to-morrow.

The students will assemble at ten o'clock, at the hotel where the school has been conducted, and with the band at their head march to the College. A social entertainment will be given in the College in the evening, at 8 o'clock. All are invited. The jury in the case of Waller, charged with the murder of Fonck at Santa Monica, brought in a verdict of involuntary homicide. Subsequently, eight of the jurymen signed a petition to Judge Denson, asking the Court to inflict the lightest penalty on the defendant, as they did not believe that he acted with criminal intent. Of the twelve jurymen, four stood for conviction for murder, seven for acquittal, and one for manslaughter. The verdict, as finally rendered, was a compromise between these diverse opinions. Waller was sentenced on Monday to one year's confinement in the State Prison. His counsel asked for, and was granted, a stay of twenty-five days, during the pending of an appeal. On Saturday afternoon about one o'clock Mr. John Oltman, a German who for nearly three years has superintended the apiary at the Sierra Madre Villa, set out on foot for the Azusa Rancho, to transact some business relative to buying a place. He was not seen again until Sunday morning at eight o'clock, when he was discovered lying dead in the road about two miles this side of the Azusa. He had apparently been dead for many hours, from the effects of a bullet which entered the head at the back, and ranged in the direction of the left eye, but still remained lodged in the head. The weapon with which the shot was fired is unknown, and no clue to the assassin has yet been obtained, but Mr. Oltman probably was supposed to have money on his person, and his assailant, approaching him from there fired the fatal shot as reasonable rates.

Yesterday was notable in Washington as the day on which Congress assembled, and not otherwise. And there was nothing of especial interest in the Congressional proceedings except that the Republicans, returning more promptly than the Democrats from their holiday recess, controlled the house for the most of the day. Your correspondent was born with politics left out of his composition, but enjoys the strife of men for the supremacy, whether in one walk of life or another. In this Congress, especially in the House, so far, the Democrats seem to have lacked a leader. On questions of importance their actual majority has become a minority, and shrewd Republicans have carried their points almost invariably. When Congress adjourned the immediate question before the House was as to whether the various Committees should commence an investigation of the various Departments, with power to send for persons and papers. This came up again yesterday, and though there was no final vote, the Republicans succeeded in carrying an amendment which practically nullifies the effect of the measure. There is a call for a leader on the Democratic side of the House. In the Senate Mr. Conkling introduced a resolution looking to inquiring into the restoration of several officers, long out of service by dismissal, to the Army and Navy. This it is understood, is an indirect attack upon the President, who has perhaps allowed his A New Literary Society. EDS. GAZETTE—An acquaintance of mine invited me on Saturday to accompany him to a meeting of "The Fairview Reading and Recreation Club." Had I said that he invited me to the moon, I suppose some of your readers would hardly be more surprised. I thought of the Anaheim Literary Society and its gasping efforts to prolong life, and I only wondered what this new fledging at Fairview might be like. I call it a fledging, for this was its first regular meeting; its two previous meetings having been merely to organize. The meeting was held in the school house, which is a neat and commodious edifice, the interior being ceiled and painted throughout. An organ stood on the platform, and a fire in the stove sent a pleasant warmth throughout the room. There were about twenty present, two or three being visitors. About one-third of the members are ladies; and nearly all of the members being young, the assembly presented on the whole a much more vivacious appearance than our Anaheim Literary does. But when the programme was announced I saw at once that in the variety of the entertainment a safeguard was provided against that monopoly of the evening's work by a few professional men, which has been the base of the club I have already referred to. The programme: 1st.—Quartette, sung with organ accompaniment. 2nd.—Reading, "Liberty." 3rd.—Recitation from Shakespeare. 4th.—Quartette, song, "The Sweet By and By." 5th.—Declamation from Webster.

The field season usually lasts about four months, at the end of which time the parties all return to the starting point, where the laborers are discharged and the scientists return to Washington for office work. This survey has issued a series of annual reports, presenting in a popular manner the subjects treated upon, and which are designed for general distribution. A series of quarto volumes are also issued, embracing purely scientific matters. These are confined in their distribution to colleges, libraries, and scientific specialists. A series of bulletins are also issued, in which subjects requiring special and immediate attention may be found. There are in addition what are called miscellaneous publications, such as meteorology, distances and altitudes, catalogues, etc. The importance and interest of the work of this organization has been fully commented upon in all parts of the civilized world; and as an illustration of the esteem and appreciation in which it is held abroad, Lieut.-Gen. Richard Strachey, of the Royal Engineers of England, says in a communication to a man high in the science of this country that "It is an undertaking, in all respects most honorable to your Government, and to the men of science who have been their agents in carrying it out. In truth, it is, I believe, the only really scientific survey of a great country ever entered upon." The survey has issued nine large publications within the past year, and several important works are nearly ready to emerge from the press. —The following is the list of officers of Orion Encampment No. 54, I.

There are four native modes of making butter in the empire of Brazil. The first is by putting the milk in a common bowl and beating it with a spoon, as you would an egg. The second by pouring the milk into a bottle, and shaking it till the butter appears when it is removed by breaking off the top of the bottle. The third, where the dairy is more extensive, is performed by filling a hide with the milk which is lustily shaken by an athletic native at each end until butter is produced. The fourth which is considered to indicate vast progress over any of the preceding methods consists in dragging the hide or leathern vessel filled with milk on the ground after the galloping horse until it is supposed the butter is formed. The milk is never strained and the butter never washed. Their humor is not American; it is peculiar to themselves and besides it is so associated with misery that I have always felt my pity moved by it not my mirth. The colored race is God's shadow upon the dawn of American progress whose cabalistic frenzy the wisest are not able to read. I know and herein am happy that slavery has gone with the baggage of an obsolete past.” Henry Ward Beecher is said to be a good judge of beverages of which he is a temperate but critical drinker. It is natural; therefore that he should express the indignation that he felt on reading a New York firm pamphlet on adulterations. The author deal in all preparations for making all kinds of wines and liquors. They say that good French brandy can be made of forty gallons of alcohol properly colored one quart glycerine,and two ounces of "our brandy oil." They add: "To imitate any particular brandy add a small quantity of the kind you be imitated." Whiskey may be made about the same way with "our whiskey oil." This is the recipe for sherry: "Four ounces sherry oil; thirteen gallons pure spirit proof Mix and add twenty-seven gallons cider fine quality; one gallon white syrup. Threeto five gallons of good foreign sherry added will improve." A decoction of malt flowers is recommended for the coloring port. Mr. Beecher gives his own opinion and follows: "The purchaser of 'pure foreign and imported liquors' ought to understand that it is simply impossible to buy a purportative wine outside of the country where it is made; that in London alone there is so many every year more Madaira than the whole island of Madeira produces; that in one season in a single city of this country,the was sold as much California wine as the whole California coast produced; that a brisk trade is driven in champagne corks and in ported bottles which are required to do service over and over again year after year; that the Custom House mark is no guarantee for buying laws of Great Britain the adulteration of liquor is allowed in bond; that the importers assurance is no guarantee; for the wines imported to the United States areDoctorated with alcohol before they leave the country where they are produced."

Exposing a Fraud. [Santa Barbara Press, January 24.] On Saturday night Professor Montrose gave his second performance. He repeated the tricks of the evening before and then proceeded to explain them. It was in every way a performance far superior to his first, the tricks being performed more neatly, and under severer test conditions than on the previous occasion. The episode of the evening was the independent slate writing. Col. Hollister offered the performer $100 if he would produce the effect known as independent slate-writing, under certain conditions, and then explain how it was done. The offer being accepted, the Colonel examined the slate carefully, to see that it was clean, and then the two persons seated themselves at a table, each with a hand on the slate under the table, and the other hands on top of the table. The lights were then put down and after a short time put up again. Upon the slate was the legend: "Where are those hundred dollars. Colonel Hollister?" The explanation that followed was what is known as "thin;" the deft handling of two slates being the given modus operandi. Satisfied that the trick had been performed, but not satisfied that the phenomenon as shown to him elsewhere, was proven a fraud. The Colonel took his seat. Joe Ealand, one of the committee, then had ten dollars to lose, and accordingly bet that if the performer handcuffed would let him sit on his lap in the cabinet and hold his two hands in his. Montrose could not show any hands at the aperture. The door was shut and out came the hands. Mr. Kaland was positive he had not let go the hands, but NEWS IN BRIEF. A Vermont lover got down on his knees before his sweetheart and read a declaration of love he had carefully written. A young Frenchman has invented glass printing type. It is claimed to last longer and to be cheaper than metallic type. The Poughkeepsie girl who sued her lover for breach of promise supposed she had been courted by a man; but he swore to being only 18 years of age, and wen the suit. During the seven days ending December 8th London had precisely four and a half hours of sunshine though the sun was above the horizon for fifty-six hours. Cleveland Herald: A lady recently received a dress from Worth. She could not get in it. She telegraphed to that offer. He answered: "Perhaps you attempted to put it on over other clothing This cannot be permitted. I will send by steamer back skin tights which is the only garment worn with dresses made according to the dictates of fashion." Alas! this is what we have come to. Tights and a piece of mualin hasted in the train of the dress. To birch or not to birch that is the question in the English schools at present. The Moretohampstead (County of Devon) trustees prohibited corporal punishment of infants and girls in their jurisdiction whereupon the mistresses resolved to resign unless they were invested with the full liberty of castigation. The tristees let them resign. In fifty of the London schools corporal punishment is not administered. A dollar and a quarter for the poor was the penalty recently enacted in a Paris drawing room for any political allusion.

It was not always so, however. Several boroughs, three centuries ago, petitioned the Crown to be relieved from the expense of being directly represented in the House of Commons. As there now are 1,102 British legislators (450 peers 652 commoners) the payment to these, out of the public revenue, at our Congressional rate, would amount to the respectable total of $5,510,000. There is absolutely neither salary nor mileage—not even a quire of paper, bundle of envelopes, penknife, or lead-pencil—allowed to any member of the British legislative body, whose session at Westminster lasts from February to August in each year. These gentlemen, whether peers or commoners, are put to considerable expense by the necessity of living six months out of the twelve in London. To be "a parliament man" gives each of them a social status, independent of the political position it often leads to, which mere title or wealth do not always obtain. A few years ago Maine was the greatest lumbering State in the Union, but now she is sixth on the list, and the business is rapidly falling off by reason of the wasting away of the forests and the competition of Western men. Shipbuilders at Portland say they can get pine masts and spars from the Pacific coast cheaper than they can cut them in their own woods. Gen. Robert Toombs says he is going to Paris.

American rifles are now in the hands of half the armies in the world. The only great powers not directly employing American arms are France, Germany and England. untenanted houses, which they visit at night and inspect with great care, to see that they are not disturbed by burglars.

Sacramento Best: There were five of them, and they had assembled in a cigar store near the Capitol Hotel. The subject was in regard to horse-racing. Said a hack driver who was present, "Talk about your fast time; why, I've seen a horse trot in 1:90." "Impossible," said the cigar-store proprietor, "it can't be done; the best time I ever heard of was 2:14." Said the hackman, "I'll bet you $5 I can prove what I say." Taken by cigarman, coin put up, and Referee chosen. In a drawling voice the hackman then explained to the man of cigars, "Don't you know, you idiot, that 1:90 is 2 minutes and 30 seconds?" Turning to the stake-holder, the tobaccoist then said, "Give him the money; it's worth $5 to know what a fool I am." An Irish jury has had the audacity to assures a woman for damages done to a man's heart. Mr. Eagan, a linen-draper's assistant, of Rosenea, was jilted by a winsome young lady of 35; and, after hearing the sad story of a lover's woes from his own lips, the generous jury awarded him $1250 as damages, so that the consolation afforded him is not a very solid kind. The lady coolly admitted a promise to marry the plaintiff, but pleaded that she was not very much in love, and that she "declined to be dictated to" during the courtship. The President and Chinese Immigration. WASHINGTON, Jan. 46.—There is no authority for the published statements that President Hayes is opposed to legislative enactments for the restriction of Chinese immigration and that he believes the only proper way to prevent wholesale Mongolian immigration is by means of treaty. The President fully recognizes the power of Congress to legislate on this subject. In the conflict with the treaty provision and in case Congress manifests willingness to take the short and the certain road for the attainment of relief and protection, the President is not at all inclined to interpose any obstacle to the exercise of this power. He would nevertheless, for obvious reasons, prefer that restrictive action should be taken by the Chinese government, if possible, or that China should formally acquiesce in such action on our part. In accordance with this view he is disposed to think it would be proper to immediately invite the attention of the Chinese government to the subject through a diplomatic channel, without thereby waiving the right to resort respectively to other methods, if Congress considers it necessary or advisable.
