Dr. Duune, of Los Angeles, tells the Express that the tar which forms the waste at the gas works, will kill the bugs that are damaging flowers. A few drops in a pail full of water sprinkled over the plants will do the business. It is said that among her very cosmopolitan population Los Angeles possesses one genuine Mohammedan. Every day, according to the rites of his faith, he turns his face to the East, makes his salam and declares that God is God and Mohammed his prophet. —Express.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1878. —A committee of the Anaheim Water Company, and one of the Cajon Irrigation Company held an informal meeting on Monday last, at which the water question was thoroughly discussed. Mr. Shanklin, the principal stockholder in the Cajon Irrigation Company, was present. After discussing the matter in its various phases, the following conclusions were arrived at: A satisfactory adjustment of the matter under consideration could only be reached by the stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company taking one-fourth of the stock in the Cajon Company, amounting to $6,250, and leasing their ditches to the said company for a nominal consideration. The Anaheim Water Company would lose none of its rights, and if it so elected, it could resume its former basis of operation upon the expiration of the time for which their ditches were leased. The committee will canvass among the stockholders of the Anaheim Company and endeavor to get them to subscribe the desired amount. —The dancing class met at Kroeger's hall on Saturday evening and a permanent organization was made and Mr. D. R. M. Thompson employed as teacher. The rates adopted were as follows: Each gentleman should pay fifty cents for each lesson, with the privilege of bringing as many ladies as he may see fit; any gentleman belonging to the class shall pay twenty-five cents for each lesson when he absents himself. No spectator Washington Letter. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 9. The amount of money annually spent here by the Federal Government is enormous. Besides the thousands of persons directly employed and paid in and around Congress and the Departments, most of whose money remains here, a considerable portion of our ordinary District expenses, and of the cost of street and other improvements, are paid by the same liberal hand. In the single item of improving the grounds around the Capitol nearly half a million dollars have been spent in the past three years, and the work is by no means done. New public buildings are continually going up, and old ones being repaired. Besides money thus spent by Government, thousands of persons follow professions here, whose business is entirely dependent upon the fact that Government Departments are located here. A city of 150,000 inhabitants lives upon the fact that it is the seat of Government. It has no manufactures and no commerce. I do not mention these facts as a reproach to the citizens of Washington, but as an interesting illustration of the growth of the country. Most of the expenditures are wise and necessary. And as considerable complaint has been made throughout the country that Congress has deprived us of suffrage, it may be well for the people to consider these relations of the Gov't. Orangethorpe Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. I promised in my first letter to write up the ranches in this district, but as I have not had much opportunity of going about, I can only give a partial description of some of them at present. I found Mr. B., H. Bancroft pruning his vineyard, which presents a fine appearance. These vines grew from enttings which were set out in the spring of 1876, and last season produced 25 tons of grapes to a vine without any irrigation whatever, exhibiting another instance of the extraordinary fertility of the soil of this part of the country. Mr. Bancroft has over 1000 four year old seedling orange trees which he intends to have bullded and transplanted very soon. His artesian well, which gave signs of failing during the drought, is now steadily increasing its flow of water. On this place there is a very pretty flower garden which we intend to describe in some future letter. Adjoining the land of Mr. Bancroft are the public schoo grounds, which are altogether too limited in extent. We understand that it is the intention of the school trustees to enlarge, fence, and improve these grounds as soon as they have sufficient funds at their disposal to enable them to do so. We think the money could be raised by subscription after a while. The school house is a cosy one, well finished and furnished. It possesses a good parlor organ but has no library. Not far from the school house is the fine ranch of Mr. Schulte, its limits marked by rows of stately blue-gums. An air of home- The committee will canvass among the stockholders of the Anaheim Company and endeavor to get them to subscribe the desired amount. The dancing class met at Kroeger's hall on Saturday evening and a permanent organization was made and Mr. D. R. M. Thompson employed as teacher. The rates adopted were as follows: Each gentleman should pay fifty cents for each lesson, with the privilege of bringing as many ladies as he may see fit; any gentleman belonging to the class shall pay twenty-five cents for each lesson when he absents himself. Nospectators will be allowed. The lessons will be given at Kroeger's hall every Saturday evening commencing at half past seven. The first lesson will be given on Saturday next. No new pupils will be received after the third lesson. The class now comprises thirty-one members. From agentleman living in the Lomas de Santiago we learn that there is much rejoicing thereabouts over the favorable prospects for the coming season. Bee men are particularly jubilant. The sage crop promises well, and many flowers of many colors and much sweetness are already to be seen on the sunny slopes, while the alfveria in many places has attained the height of eighteen or twenty inches. Stock are doing well, and in fact everything looks prosperous with our "highlanders." The late rains have caused a considerable rise of the waters of the Santiago creek, which is said to be higher now than at any time for a number of years. We are pleased to learn that work on the Black Star coal mine has not been suspended, as was reported, but on the contrary is being pushed with more than usual vigor. Several tons of coal have been placed on the dump within the last few days, and small lots have been sold to parties in Santa Ana and Los Angeles. In every instance where these coals have been tried the most pleasing results have been reported. A car load of Black Star coal will be sent to Los Angeles, for trial in the gas works, as soon as the roads settle sufficiently for hauling. The San Diego Union says: The down stage of Wednesday met with disaster at San Elejo creek, near San Dieguito. The water proved to be deep and rapid at the crossing, and the horses were unable to get through. The strong current overturned the stage and swept it down the stream. Both horses were drowned, and the driver was considerably bruised. The mails bags were fished out and brought here in wagon, arriving about half past one yesterday afternoon. The letters were hardly wet at all but the papers were nearly all reduced to pulp. A store, hotel, saloon and blacksmith shop are all that is needed to make a town of Silverado, and we do not doubt there is a good opening for parties who will embark in any of those branches of business at that place. Some of the discoveries lately made in that vicinity are undoubtedly valuable Adjoin the land of Mr. Bancroft are the public schoo grounds, which are altogether too limited in extent. We understand that it is the intention of the school trustees to enlarge, fence, and improve these grounds as soon as they have sufficient funds at their disposal to enable them to do so. We think the money could be raised by subscription after a while. The school house is a cosy one, well finished and furnished. It possesses a good parlor organ but has no library. Not far from the school house is the fine ranch of Mr. Schulte, its limits marked by rows of stately blue-gums. An air of homely comfort and rural prosperity prevades this place. Mr. Schulte is one of the thriftiest farmers in this valley, as his well-tilled farm apply testifies. He owns a quarter-section of excellent land inclosed by a substantial fence. There is on this place a large number of fruit and shade trees in a flourishing condition. A fine locust grove especially attracted my attention. I also noticed an almond orchard which will come into bearing this year. Mr. Schulte has labored under the disadvantage of an insufficient supply of water, but his zeal and patience have overcome this obstacle and his trees are now in a thriving state. A short distance further on the road towards Anaheim is the fine mansion of Mr. Chilson. Owing to the lack of water for irrigation but few trees have been set out, and the place in consequence presents rather a bare and cheerless aspect. But we learn with pleasure that Mr. Chilson intends soon to plant trees on a large scale and otherwise improve and adorn his grounds until they fully harmonize and correspond with the elegant appearance of his dwelling house. We are informed that the silver mine, owned by his sons, afford them brilliant prospects, and they may possibly yet rank with the future bonanza kings of Arizona. There ought to be a railing put up on the Coyote bridge. The roads in this district also need attention, especially in the vicinity of the Coyote house where they are almost impassible in places. What are the roadmasters doing? We have met two of these gentlemen since we have been here and they both wanted money, but when we convinced them that all our worldly wealth and taxable property consisted of an old jackknife, a pocket comb with a part of the teeth broken out, a quill tooth-pick considerably the worse for wear, and a handful of brass buttons, they rode on in silent disgust to seek other victims whose pockets were more generously lined. If road-masters would display one half the zeal in repairing the roads that they do in collecting road taxes, our public thoroughfares would be in a much better condition. Thousands of geese are to be found along Coyote creek, while ducks abound in large numbers. A gentleman told me that he saw one morning this week over 100 mallard ducks in one flock. Here is a chance for the ninrods of Anaheim. The best time to shoot ducks is early in the morning, as then they are more apt to be found in large flocks. Mr. Ingram is plowing his splendid quarter-section of land. He is sinking an artesian well and as soon as he obtains a good flow of water intends to make extensive improvements. He has the finest quarter-section of land on the whole Coyote ranch. There is not a square foot of waste land upon it. In common wish all the people of this neighborhood, I was pained to hear of the death of Charlie Mead and tender the bereaved family sincere sympathy. Everyone liked Charlie—he was so obedient to his teacher and parents, so respectful to his elders and school mates.

The mails bags were fished out and brought here in a wagon, arriving about half past one yesterday afternoon. The letters were hardly wet at all but the papers were nearly all reduced to pulp. A store, hotel, saloon and blacksmith shop are all that is needed to make a town of Silverado, and we do not doubt there is a good opening for parties who will embark in any of those branches of business at that place. Some of the discoveries lately made in that vicinity are undoubtedly valuable and will be developed with considerable activity. There are quite a number of prospectors in the hills, and new strikes are reported almost daily. Mr. J. T. Devan, contractor on the Los Angeles and San Bernardino county road, is in town and reports that, weather permitting, the work will be completed in about three weeks. The late freshet in the Santa Ana river has caused slight delay and some damage to the newly built road. Mr. Devan is doing good work, and we wish him success on his contract. The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company have nearly completed their tunnels through Bullwell Point, and the job is said by practical excavators to be a first-class piece of work. Mr. Dorsey Dennison, the gentleman in charge, is an old railroad man, and thoroughly acquainted with the business of boring holes through hills. Arizona Miner: Hon. Eben Hilton, formerly a banker in Northern California and now in Tustin City in ill health, will start about the first of March for Prescott, to spend the summer. He is an elegant gentleman, and a man of ample means, and if he likes the climate which he no doubt will, it is his purpose to settle permanently here. The trips of the Orizaba have been changed. It leaves San Francisco to-day and arrives in San Pedro on the 22nd. Returning will leave for San Francisco on the 24th, arriving on the 26th. Since our last report there has been one and five-sixteenth inches of rain. Total for the season 10 inches, and damned be he who first cries, hold, enough! There was more water in the Santa Ana river on Tuesday than has been seen in that river for many years. In many places the water was four or five feet in depth. The House Judiciary Committee is made up of six persons opposed to a constitutional amendment in effect granting suffrage to women, and five who favor such an amendment. In the absence of Mr. Haines, of Virginia, the other day, a vote on the subject was a tie. I refrain from giving the names of those voting either way. Henry W. Hilliard was yesterday confirmed by the Senate as Minister to Brazil. Serious charges had been preferred against him, but the vote was more than 2 to 1 in favor of confirmation. Murphy, temperance revivalist, is carrying the city captive. The public halls are not large enough to hold those who wish to hear him, and he often speaks to two or more packed audiences on the same evening. In a few evenings a meeting will be held in an enormous market house which will hold at least 15,000 people. It will be full. Signers of the pledge and wearers of the blue ribbon are innumerable. Orange Dishes. Orange Salad.—Peel eight oranges with a sharp knife, so as to remove every vestige of skin from them; core them as you would core apples, and lay them whole or cut in slices in a deep dish; strew over them plenty of powdered loaf sugar; then add a large wineglassful of pale brandy; keep the dish covered close till the time of serving. Orange Fritters.—Take the peel and white skin from three or four oranges; cut them across into slices; pick out the seeds and dip each slice of orange into a thick batter. Fry until nicely browned and serve upon a napkin with powdered sugar sifted over each slice. Orange Tartlets.—Remove the pulp from two or three oranges; boil the peel until very tender; beat them to a paste with twice their weight of sugar; add the thin pulp and juice of the orange with a teaspoonful of butter and beat these ingredients together. Line some little pans with puff paste; fill with the orange mixture and bake. A Vickshurg negro fell from the deck of a steamboat the other day was sucked under a coal-barge, came up in time to catch his breath before he slid under a raft a mile long, and finally scrambled ashore down at Warntown, about seven miles below, with the remark, 'No use tryin', we kept down a deep-water captain.' A Ducking Stool. In the crypt of Warwick Church the mighty ribbed arches of which spring from one enormous pier, there is an article which has long gone out of use—whether advantageously or not, I shall not venture to say—a ducking stool, made for the public discipline of scolding women. This is one of the only two, I believe, that remain in England. It consists of a strong oak frame on low wheels, from which a seat rises upon an inclined beam that works upon a pivot or axle. The scold was lashed into the seat, and then the "institution" was drawn to the river-side at a convenient deep place, and rolled in until the patient sat just above the water. Then the land-end of the beam was tipped up, and consequently the other end with its ladder went down under the water, where it remained not too long, and was then raised for breathing time. This process was repeated as often as it was thought beneficial to the lady under treatment, or necessary for the peace of her family and neighborhood. Whether husbands ever interceded for wives thus disciplined, as wives do now sometimes for husbands who are unreasonably interfered with in the gentle sport of blacking their eyes or kicking their ribs, is not recorded. Another Assemblyman Dead. Sacramento, Feb. 15th.—Assemblyman Robert Ludgate of Amador, died last night. He was in usual health during the day an was at Committee meeting last night. When he went to his rooms he was taken ill and died soon after. Thirty barrels of abalone shells have been shipped from Santa Barbara to Baltimore. GAZETTE. 23, 1878. NO. 19 Sugar Making in Florida. [ From the New York Observer. ] But here we are at rest, where a spring ashore and short walk between shrubs of guava and cape jessamine bring us to the site of the sugar-boiling and into the company of Florida crackers! Don't imagine, in your northern ignorance, that we have found anything wherewith to satiate hunger, nor yet some Southern substitute for a Yankee boy's Fourth of July. No! Florida crackers (why so called we could not learn) are simply the white inhabitants of the river-side and back country, at whose "raising" the schoolmaster did not preside, and whose general attire is innocent of sacrifices at the shrine of the fashion goddess. The sugar-boiling is of the most primitive description; modern inventions do not find favor with the aboriginal inhabitants of these regions; evaporators and machinery which reduce labor require too much capital, and, year after year, the sugar is made in precisely the same manner as fathers and grandfathers have made it for years and years. The picture which presents itself as we walk up from the boat is a unique one. To the left is a great field of sugar-cane, looking more like a giant corn field than anything else to which we could compare it. Two negro men, clad in nondescript rags, are busy, the one cutting down the stalks, which Passage of the Silver Bill. The Senate has passed the Silver Bill by a vote of 48 to 21. Booth voted for, and Sargent against the bill. The following is the full text of the bill as passed: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled: That there shall be coined at the several mints of the United States silver dollars of the weight of 412 grains Troy, of standard silver, as provided in the Act of January 18th, 1838, on which shall be the devices and superscriptions provided by said act, which coin, together with all silver dollars heretofore coined by the United States of like weight and fineness, shall be a legal tender at their nominal value for all debts and dues, public and private, except where otherwise expressed and stipulated in the contract; and the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to purchase, from time to time, silver bullion at the market price thereof, not less than $2,000,000 per month nor more than $4,000,000 worth per month, and cause the same to be coined monthly as fast as so purchased, into such dollars, and a sum sufficient to carry out the foregoing provisions of this act is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated. Any gain or seignorage arising from this coinage shall be accounted for and paid into the Treasury as provided under existing laws relative to subsidiary coinage; provided that the amount of money at any one time invested in such silver bullion, exclusive of such resulting coin, shall not exceed $3,000,000; and provided further, that nothing in this act shall be construed to authorize the payment in silver of certificates of deposits issued under the provisions of Section 554.

There is land upon it. The people of this town to hear of the old tender the bereav-yay. Everyone liked went to his elders and later and class-mates description; modern inventions do not find favor with the aboriginal inhabitants of these regions; evaporators and machinery which reduce labor require too much capital, and, year after year, the sugar is made in precisely the same manner as fathers and grandfathers have made it for years and years. The picture which presents itself as we walk up from the boat is a unique one. To the left is a great field of sugar-cane, looking more like a giant corn field than anything else to which we could compare it. Two negro men, clad in nondescript rags, are busy, the one cutting down the stalks, which are from eight to ten feet high; the other cutting off the top or leafy part, which is carefully preserved and planted again in a few weeks, as the seed for next year's crop. A wrinkled old black "Anunty" trots back and forth with her arms full of canes, which she throws down in a heap at the foot of the mill. This latter institution could only receive justice at the hands of a photographer. There is a frame of heavy oak, blackened by age, four uprights and eight cross-pieces, which support two rusty iron cylinders surmounted by cogs. Above the pivot on which these turn is a great heavy log of wood, with the bark on, fastened to it by one iron pin and by another to a long wooden bar, which has been broken and spliced in one place, to the end of which a much enduring mule is attached by a species of harness which is certainly not wanting in variety, whatever may be its other deficiencies. First there are traces of rusty chain attached to a smaller wooden bar which is pinned to the first about one-third from its end; then a heavy rope connects the main bar with the animal's collar—wood, resting on a cushion of braided palmetta—and finally, a pair of leather reins reach from the bit to the extreme point of the bar. Thus accounted, the animal commences dreary circles, stopping suddenly every now and then, apparently to take a nap, from which he is aroused by sugar-cane, converted for the time being into a missile. Close to the mill, "ducking" every time the revolving bar comes in dangerous proximity to her head, stands a female "cracker," the like of which—as to tangled curly hair, swarthy skin, wild staring eyes, and unceenth costume, word and gesture—these northern eyes have not often gazed upon. With almost masculine strength she forces the ends of the canes between the cylinders and they are soon crushed flat, while a steady stream of sap runs through a short wooden trough set to receive it. Taste this foamy stream and you will find it pleasant and refreshing, though rather insipid. The proprietor now appears, and, with an assistant, carries off buckets full of the sap, which is emptied into two copper caldrons sunk in a low brick furnace, which is constantly being fed with brush-wood and cane brush, the latter, however, being more valuable for the purpose of manuring the orange groves. Three hours of boiling suffice; we are surprised to see how rapidly evaporation takes off at the market price thereof, not less than $2,000,000 per month nor more than $4,000,000 worth per month, and cause the same to be coined monthly as fast as so purchased, into such dollars, and a sum sufficient to carry out the foregoing provisions of this act is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated. Any gain or seignorage arising from this coinage shall be accounted for and paid into the Treasury as provided under existing laws relative to subsidiary coinage; provided that the amount of money at any one time invested in such silver bullion, exclusive of such resulting coin, shall not exceed $5,000,000; and provided further, that nothing in this act shall be construed to authorize the payment in silver of certificates of deposits issued under the provisions of Section 254, Revised Statutes. Sec. 2. All acts and parts of acts inconsistent with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. Sec. 3. Immediately after the passage of this act the President shall invite the governments of the countries composing the Latin Union, so called, and other such European nations as he may deem advisable, to join the United States in a conference to adopt a common ratio between gold and silver for the purpose of establishing internationally the use of bi-metallic money and securingiga fixity of relative value between those metals, such conference to be held at such placein Europe or in the United States, at such time within six months, as may be mutually agreed upon by the Executives of the governments so invited, or any three of them which shall have signified their willingness to unite in the same. The President shall, by and with the advice of the Senate, appoint three Commissioners who shall attend such conference on behalf of the United States, and shall report the doings thereof to the President, who shall transmit the same to Congress. Said Commissioners shall each receive the sum of $2,500 and their reasonable expenses to be approved by the Secretary of State. The amount necessary to pay such compensation and expenses is hereby appropriated out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. Sec. 4. Any holder of the coin authorized by this act may deposit the same with the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer of the United States in sums not less than ten dollars; and receive therefor certificates of not less than ten dollars each, corresponding in denomination of United States notes. The coin deposited for representing the certificates shall be retained in the treasury for the payment of the same on demand. Said certificates shall be receivable for customs, taxes, and all public dues, and when so received, may be re-issued. German Brain and Muscle. On the military lists of the German empire 1,055,000 men are inscribed. Of these as many as 398,000 have their names set down in a black list as having failed to observe the law of compulsory military service, and 190,000 of these have gone out of the way of it by emigrating. One in eight able-bodied Germans have resolved to quit his Fatherland rather than stop at home and share the prevailing poverty and enforced military service which his nation has to endure. In this manner Germany loses much of the muscle and brain of her young men. In this manner, however, the United States gains annually many good citizens. Haretoforethe great prairie States of The West have been more especially benefited by this migration, but in the new order of things the South may reasonably hope to see in the next few years many thrifty and frugal Rhine- The best time to be morning, as then found in large flocks, is sinking an artesian that contains a good flow of extensive improve-ment quarter-section of the ranch. There is land upon it. The people of this town heard of the tender the bereavement. Everyone liked them to his teacher and class-mates him very much. The proprietor now appears, and with an assistant, carries off buckets full of the sap, which is emptied into two copper caldrons sunk in a low brick furnace, which is constantly being fed with brush-wood and cane brush, the latter, however, being more valuable for the purpose of manuring the orange groves. Three hours of boiling suffice; we are surprised to see how rapidly evaporation takes place, and then the sap, which has been carefully skimmed all the time, and begins to show what adepts call "the grain," is ladled out into a long wooden trough and set in a covered shed to cool. When this process is complete,—which does not take place before three or four days—the trough is full of exceedingly wet sugar, which is put into barrels full of holes to drain. On this particular plantation seven or eight barrels are made every day for about three weeks, but of course there are places where the work is carried on much more extensively, and where the boiling season lasts through November, December, and January. Neither sugar nor syrup pleases us; there is the peculiar vegetable flavor which makes common New Orleans molasses so very disagreeable. The "skimmings" are carefully kept and made into vinegar. France probably presents riore, and more ingenious, modes of earning a livelihood than does any other country. There is a man in Paris who manufactures worms for anglers. He calculated, on beginning the trade, that the thousands of anglers who now and then catch a minnow in the Seine have no time to lose in the search of bait, and set up worm-making. He breeds them out of the foul meats he buys off the chiffoniers, and feeds them by the thousands in immense tin boxes. His emulator is another man who has a process for the breeding of worms for nightingales. He gets them out of bits of cork mixed with bran and flucur. A lady living in the Faubourg Saint Germain hatches ants for pheasants. She has a room full of them, and is well known by the keepers of rare preserves. This is a trade that has been over a hundred years in the family, and is hereditary. There are red, brown, and black ants, and they swarm in the heated room, walking up and down, as well as in and out of corners, planks and barrels. Damage by the Storm. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 18th.—The river this morning was higher than ever before known. The American river is very high and the rush of water against the levee opposite its mouth, surrounding the town of Washington, is described as terrific. Every exertion is being made to prevent a crevasse, and thus far with success. A break has occurred in the levee on the Yolo side of the river, about six miles below Washington, which has somewhat relieved the pressure on the levees. It has been snowing in the mountains and raining heavily in the valleys and foothills and all streams have risen rapidly. Sacramento City is undoubtedly secure, but considerable damage is reported in the valleys. The Catholic Church at St. Helena, Napa county, was blown down last night and considerable minor damage is reported. The storm has been unusually heavy and seems likely to be renewed before morning. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—The President, upon the recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior, to-day accepted the eighth section of the Southern Pacific Railroad of California for 42 miles, commencing 100 miles south of Goshen and running to where the company begin to build south-westly to Los Angeles, under a clause attached in the Texas Pacific act. All the rest of its completed road had been previously accepted. Patents for railroad lands along this section will be issued without further delay. Through a compromise between the young members of a large Quaker society, at Iowa Falls, Iowa, who refused to contribute toward a new church building unless they could have a steeple, and the old folks, who were horrified at the proposed innovation, the meeting house will have a steeple. This will be an incident without a precedent in Quakerism.
