WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY ... MAY 11, 1878. Algaroba or Mezquit? We commend the following letter to the botanical sharp wot runs the Yuma Sentinel—the same who had the temerity to intimate that algaroba and mezquit were one and the same, and who contemptuously rejected the evidence of the man who carried a mezquit thorn in his foot for twenty-two years: UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, BERKELEY, April 28, 1878. EDR. GAZETTE:—In reply to your inquiry on the subject of "Algaroba" and Mezquit, I remark that the name Algaroba belongs originally to the "Carob" tree, a native of Syria and Asia Minor, cultivated all along the Mediterranean coast as food for both man and beast, and undoubtedly the "Locust" referred to as forming the food of St. John the Baptist in the desert; hence the common name of "St. John's Bread," under which the pod is eaten by children in Europe; while druggists call it Siliqua Dulcis and botanista Ceratonia Siliqua. Under the name of "Carob," or "Locust Bean," it is largely imported into England from Smyrna, as a dairy feed. It is a closer relation of the Eastern honey locust than of the mezquit, but differs greatly in aspect from both, as the leaflets on each leaf-stalk age both larger and fewer in number than is the case in the mezquit. Still there is enough of a general resemblance, especially in view of the sweet edible pods, to cause the Spaniards to transfer the old name of Algaroba to the latter tree; and unmindful of the confusion that might thus arise, Bentham applied to it the latinized name Algarobia, distinguishing the "Screw Mezquit" or Tornilla of the Mexicans, by the name of Strombocarpai, signifying "screw-fruit." Bentham's names, however, are now used only as subdivisions of the genus prosopis; the long-pod mezquit being A Day at Bolsa Chica. EDR. GAZETTE:—Our party of two dozen, who were a part of that "large number" from the neighboring settlements that visited Bolsa Chica upon May Day, with one accord voted the day perfect. Old Ocean wore a most benignant and welcome aspect. As for killing time! We found the day far too short; and nothing but the most tastefully arranged luncheon, upon the snowy damask, with loveliest carpet of green at one's feet, could induce us to forego the exhilarating pleasure of a drive along the beach, or the games which were entered into with an enjoyment not inspired by ennui, but by the most lively spirit of fun. While gay wit and repartee, accompanied by merry laughter from lovely lips and sparkling eyes, were far more innocent and soul-inspiring than the deadly draught that "biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." Is it possible the sand in the eyes of the worthy Westminster correspondent's informant resulted from too frequent consultation with an individual, "bottle," from the ranks that lined the roadside? That the "scorching sun" rays emanated from the same source? And that the tempestuous wind which caused such veering of mind and sight proceeded from the same quarter? We would testify that the only bottle we saw lining the road was one occupying the identical locality and position that it did just one month ago, when we paid a flying visit to Bolsa Chica beach. Surprise was awakened in our mind at seeing it between Westminster and the sea, but the conclusion at once gladdened our thoughts that 'twas only some conflicting inhabitant of W., who had been testing the efficacy beforehand of "stingaree medicine" valorously thinking a pint of prevention worth a quart of cure.

De Barth Shorb says: "As much apprehension has been, with good cause, felt by the vineyard owners that Wood's tariff bill would become a law, and which provides for a return to the ad valorem duty of three years ago, under which unprincipled importers practiced trightful frauds on the government and the honest merchant, it may be satisfactory to know that there is no longer any danger of the bill passing. From Messrs. T. A. Scott and C. P. Huntington, also from Representative Wigginton, whose influence and active efforts I invoked against the threatened danger to our interests, I have received letters stating, as their opinions, that the bill will be laid on the shelf. I regard the men named as the best authority on national affairs in the country and should come very near knowing what chances there are for any bill being passed at the Capital." The San Francisco Grand Jury have found sixteen indictments against J. C. Duncan for forgery, two for perjury and one for embezzlement. Six for forgery were found against Duncan's son-in-law, Lewarne. Ten for forgery were found against H. Kofall, cashier of Duncan's bank, and one for embezzlement. The charge of perjury against Thomas Gray, the figure-head President of the bank and father-in-law of Duncan, was ignored; also the charges against J. C. Merrill, owner, and Capt. Jenks, commander of the schooner E. J. McKinnon. The charges against W. T., son of J. C. Duncan, and the broker W. J. Duval, for their share in assisting Duncan in his attempt to escape, were Westminster and the sea, but the conclusion at once gladdened our thoughts that 'twas only some conflicting inhabitant of W., who had been testing the efficacy beforehand of "stingaree medicine" valorously thinking a pint of prevention worth a quart of cure.

Duval, for their share in assisting Duncan in his attempt to escape, were ignored. The San Francisco Theological Seminary closed a year of successful work on Thursday, April 24th. The Occident of May 1st contains a report of the proceedings which took place at the annual anniversary, the most interesting part of which, to us, is the address delivered by the Rev. J. M. Allis. The invigorating diction, the clearly put ideas, the practical suggestions and the hearty earnestness of the whole address are all characteristic of Mr. Allis, and would intuitively lead us to suspect the authorship even were his name not appended. Mr. Allis is now one of the editors of the Occident. The spook performances in San Diego, an account of which was given in the last Gazette, have come to an inglorious end. The Union of the 3d says: "Constable Russell unearthed the 'bottom facts' of the Mission Valley spook performance on Wednesday evening. He ascertained that the 'ghost' which had raised such a sensation, was a little girl of the household. The whole affair was, in the curt but expressive phrase of James, 'a put up job.' There will be no further supernatural manifestations in that locality. The Workingmen's Clubs of San Francisco are officered by men of muscle. The following is an extract from a report of one of their meetings: 'The Sergeant-at-Arms, while suppressing one of the speakers, was interfered with by a man whose conduct had been particularly boisterous, whereupon he picked the disturber up and threw him about ten feet, the man alighting on the broad of his back. Order was then restored!" A Suggestion to the Trustees. ANAHEIM, May 6, 1878. Eds. GAZETTE:—Now that we have a legal, cast-iron town charter, I think it is time to put in force the suggestions made a few months ago in reference to exacting a heavy license from itinerant dealers of merchandise, who peddle their wares within the city limits. I and other merchants who pay taxes to support the local government, have a right to demand all the protection which the authorities can legally give us. As it is now, a horde of drummers and peddlers can come from San Francisco or elsewhere and peddle their wares without hindrance, while we live and spend our money here, have to pay taxes for the privilege which is accorded free to these nomads. Men who peddle groceries, or dry goods, or meat, or fruit, should be made to pay a heavy license for the privilege, and I hope that at the very next meeting of the Board an ordinance will be passed in accordance with these suggestions from MERCHANT. WEDDED LIFE. Advice to a Newly Married Man from an Experienced Benedict. FRIEND —: It is to be presumed that you have chosen a wife after mature reflection, and not alone from selfish impulse. Nevertheless, do not imagine that you can possibly have foreseen all the duties, responsibilities and even trials to which married life may render you liable. In your intimate relationship and companionship you and your wife will appear to each other in an entirely new light. You will find defects in her, and shein you, which can only be properly met by one course, and that is, mutual conciliation. Strive to see which can exercise the greatest lenency toward each other. The secret of happiness in married life is mutual confidence. Trust one another. Have no secrets from one another. By all means, never call in a third party to interfere in any way with family jars. You will be more than human if you and your wife can always perfectly agree, but, while you cannot prevent differences, you can prevent any evil consequences arising from them. If you have troubles keep them to yourself and wife. Compromise will secure you undoubted happiness. By all means never allow a quarrel to last over night. There is mischief in brooding and pouting. Don't be ashamed of yielding when you are sure you are in the right. There is nosacrifice or self-denial in yielding only when you are in the wrong. You must consult your wife's whims and caprices as well as her reasonable desires. Mankind is generally governed by the passions; not by the reason. There is no excuse for trampling upon a wife's desires because you think them unreasonable. Women have at times the privilege of being unreasonable. Avoid personal habits which are offensive to your wife; or, if you cannot avoid them altogether, avoid them in her presence. Keep clear of your wife's relations, and have her keep clear of yours, in all business matters if possible. If either of you should form antipathies to the relations of the other, those antipathies must be consulted, and if not required, must be restrained, or else your bottle we piping the snake it did and a flyingprise was at between conclusion that 'twas of W., who morehand of thinking a cure. NORMA. Gournment and Morning Superior County THE METRIC SYSTEM. Points on the Bill Introduced by Alex. Stephens—A Suggested Improvement. The bill introduced in the House by Representative Stephens, of Georgia, to promote the general use of the metric system, after a preamble to the effect that the system has made little progress, notwithstanding its great merits and its authorization by law by virtue of the act of Congress of July 27, 1866, and it is believed to be capable of simplification so as to remove many impediments to its general use, authorizes the use of the modified metric system; but the continued use of any system now permitted by law is not prohibited, the true intent and meaning of the act being not to enforce any particular system, but to provide for the public convenience by adaptation to its circumstances and exigencies, the metric system being capable of indefinite expansion to suit the uses of mankind, in business and science. The following are the metric tables proposed by the bill: MEASURES OF LENGTH. 100 traces make a nail. 100 nails make a meter. 100 meters make a kilometer. MEASURES OF SURFACE. 100 drops make a spoon. 100 spoons make a quart. 100 quarts make a cask. MEASURES OF WEIGHT. 100 seeds make a corn. 100 corns make a nut. 100 nuts make a bi-pound or bip. 1,000 bips make a ton. [From the New York World.] Mr. Alexander H. Stephens appears to think that all the metric system needs to commend it to the affection of his countrymen is to mix a little inch in his nomenclature. With the foresight of a true statesman he discerns that the American people will never come to call a meter a meter, but thinks that they may be induced to call it a yard, though in fact it is not a yard. A "seed," or "corn," and a "bi-pound or bip" are new units of weight, and a "hair" and if they coincide with Chufas. In our last we promised to say something about Chufas, or the West India ground nut. It is a native of West Indies, much resembles the common grass nut, is about the size of a peanut, loves a sandy soil, does not grow deep, but stands any drought, is very oily, and tastes much like the coconut. It is far more delicate in flavor than the peanut, and like the fig, it never produces sickness from eating too much of it, as the peanut does. Years ago it was sold as a confection in the markets of Charleston, S. C. Prepare the ground as for cotton, the rows three feet apart, and plant about the last of April or first of May, putting the nuts about one foot apart in the row, and about an inch deep. In a week or ten days a spear of green grass will appear, then another and another. Cultivate as sweet potatoes, keeping the earth between the rows and on the sides loose and clear of all weeds and other grass. By August or September when everything else is parched with heat, each tuft of grass will be six inches high and as large as a man's head. In October, when fully grown, you have not to dig for it as for grass nuts and get one at a time. Grasp the tuft of the grass, pull it out from the bed, and at the bottom will be found from one to three hundred nuts all in a bunch, clinging to the numerous roots. If you wish to save some as a delicacy, wash them and dry for a few days. They then taste very much like the cocoanut, and are harmless, no matter how much you eat. We have parched and ground them as coffee, and when boiled with milk, the beverage is very much like chocolate in taste and look. A tablespoonful of it ground up and put in paper will be found so oily as to stain a half dozen folds of thick paper; the aroma from that quantity will perfume a room. But the chief value of chufas is as food for pigs, farrow sows and poultry. We have never seen pigs fatten on anything so rapidly, and it gives a great flow of milk to sows. Pigs and poultry turned into a lot where it has been raised, will root and scratch up every foot of ground hunting for the nut. Mankind is generally governed by the passions; not by the reason. There is no excuse for trampling upon a wife's desires because you think them unreasonable. Women have at times the privilege of being unreasonable. Avoid personal habits which are offensive to your wife; or, if you cannot avoid them altogether, avoid them in her presence. Keep clear of your wife's relations, and have her keep clear of yours, in all business matters if possible. If either of you should form antipathies to the relations of the other, those antipathies must be consulted, and if not removed, must be respected, or else your family jars will be numerous and irreconcilable. Let your married life begin with systematic frugality. Devote a specific proportion of your income to the future of your family. Your savings will in this way augment almost imperceptibly, and place you above asking favors. Live within your means, and nobody will know how much you have ahead; but the moment you borrow a cent people know how poor you are. Go it while you are young. The duties of a house and family will come soon enough. Take it easy while you may in your early married life. Be patient, and wait and watch and pray. Just previous to the birth of your first child you will probably find your wife fretful, cross, peevish, pouty, and troublesome, just as many good, kind, amiable, and loving women have been before her. If such should be the case, don't get mad, don't expostulate, don't rebuke or reproach her. The best thing you can do is to grin and bear it. The first smile of the baby will stop it and pay for all you have endured. Don't think yourself immaculate and set yourself up as a pattern for your wife. If she wants to go to church and you don't, remember that it may not do you any harm to go to church. Don't scold your wife, and don't beat your children, if you have any. Teach your children by example. Be a copy for them. Execute them for such of your faults as they inherit. Don't bequeath them a hasty temper and then whip them for it. Don't gossip before them and punish them for gossipping. Don't prevent them from romping or having minds of their own. Don't frighten them with ghost stories. Don't lie to them. Don't neglect to give them anything that you promise them—even punishment. Don't forget that you were a child once, and do as you would have had others do to you. Don't get crazy if you have a few buttons off your shirts. Remember all the time that you are a poor, weak mortal, liable to err, and in all probability no more perfect than your wife. Bahe often, look after your health, and never go home drunk. JOHN. The latest Paris item is this: A Frenchman insulted an American girl, who informed her brother. The Frenchman declared he was sorry, and would make any atonement in his power; but really he never suspected Mademoiselle was a lady, as she pointed. The Jockey Club and other Mr. Alexander H. Stephens appears to think that all the metric system needs to commend it to the affection of his countrymen is to mix a little inhom in his nomenclature. With the foresight of a true statesman he discerns that the American people will never come to call a meter a meter, but thinks that they may be induced to call it a yard, though in fact it is not a yard. A "seed," or "corn," and a "bi-pound or bip" are new units of weight, and a "hair" and a "nail" of measure. If they coincide with the units of metric system, and the people can be induced to say "bip" and "nail" who could not be induced to say gram and meter, all will be well. The trouble with his tables is that they do not go far enough. The idea is to get expressions which the masses can readily understand, and there are many such expressions which Mr. Stephens has not utilized. In weight, for instance, nobody knows what a bi-pound is, and if any man, wise in his own conceit, thinks it to be two pounds, Mr. Stephens will undeceive him. How simple it would have been to say, for instance: 10 hunks make one gob. 10 gobs make one chunk (or dekagob). 10 chunks make one heap. There is not one of Mr. Stephens' constituents who could not master this nomenclature. In long measure, again, where Mr. Stephens confuses his constituents with "seed" and "corn," how simple and symmetrical would it be to say: 10 steps make one hopskipandjump. 10 hopskipandjumps make one piece. 10 pieces make one right smart go-by. Here is a terminology not arrived at by fumbling in Greek dictionaries, but fresh from the people and racy of the soil. Liquor measure, again, should be brought to our business and bosoms in some such way as this: 10 swallows make one drink. 10 drinks make one spree. 10 sprees makes one triangle (or jims). And an intelligible table of dry measure would be: 50 nibbles makes one bite. 10 bites make one square meal, and so forth. We have no doubt that Mr. Stephens means well, and that he is trying to bring the metric system within the scope of the neanest capacity, say for two "spoons." But he should break at once and forever with the effete terminology of Europe. SAN FRANCISCO, May 8. At the various Ward Clubs of the Workingmen last evening discussion over the quarrel between Kearney and the State and County Committees was continued. The Eleventh Ward Club at Humboldt Hall, endorsed Kearney's course, and expelled from the club A. Gans, its member of the County Committee, for his anti-Kearney proclivities. At the meeting of the Tenth Ward Club the Hall was packed by Kearney's adherents, who took charge of affairs. This resulted in a row, in which Frank Rooney, the newly them as coffee, and when boiled with milk, the beverage is very much like chocolate in taste and look. A tablespoonful of it ground up and put in paper will be found so oily as to stain a half dozen folds of thick paper; the aroma from that quantity will perfume a room. But the chief value of chufas is as food for pigs, farrow sows and poultry. We have never seen pigs fatten on anything so rapidly, and it gives a great flow of milk to sows. Pigs and poultry turned into a lot where it has been raised; will root and scratch up every foot of ground hunting for the nut, which does not grow far below the surface. During the war we raised at least one hundred bushels per acre in Columbia, South Carolina. This is what we know about chufas. All fine stock, poultry, grains, fruits, grasses, are the results of experimentals. Will some of our farmers try it?—Augusta Bulletin. Chufas for Chuckens. We notice that a writer in a Florida paper has used chufas for chicken feed. He says: "For chickens I plant some near the barn,and when ripe, plow one or two furrows through them each week,and let the chickens scratch for them. At first they do not usually eat them readily, but in a few days they will eat them with the greatest avidity." THE San Francisco Chronicle has the following among its telegrams: LOS ANGELES, May 5th.—The Democratic County Committee were last night bulldozed by a lobby of candidates to call a strictly partisan Convention. The Committee was divided in sentiment, but finally agreed to meet May 11th to arrange for a party Convention. Much dissatisfaction exists, and a people's nomination is agitated to-day.

The Frenchman declared he was sorry, and would make any atonement in his power; but really he never suspected Mademoiselle was a lady, as she was painted. The Jockey Club and other high authorities were appealed to, and unanimously decided that if the girl's eyebrows were blackened and her cheeks painted, the brother was not entitled to satisfaction, the Frenchman's mistake being natural. DENNIS KEARNEY is developing an enormous amount of cheek. In a communication to a San Francisco paper he likens himself to Robert Emmett, and wants "other men and other times" to write his epitaph, after he "falls by the assassin's knife, impelled by Chinese gold!" Kearney forgets that Emmett was a gentleman. SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.—In the Police Court to-day the case of John Hayes, on trial for shoving Dennis Kearney off the platform at the Platt's Hall anti-Spring Valley meeting some weeks ago, was concluded by the dismissal of the charge against Hayes. Judge Louderback concluded his decision as follows: "Under the circumstances of the case I think the conduct of Dennis Kearney in seizing the organization and controlling the proceedings of the meeting was unjustifiable and illegal; that the law views his acts as an intrusion and violation of the rights of persons who originated the meeting and the right of the people peaceably to assemble for lawful purposes. There was no blow given in this case. It was shown it was not given by defendant for the purpose of assault or injury, but an assertion of his right against the illegal acts of Dennis Kearney. The case is dismissed." NEW YORK, May 7.—The Graphic's Washington special says that an autograph letter from S. J. Tilden has been received here, saying that Congress will be guilty of neglect if it does not investigate the Florida case. SAN FRANCISCO, May 8.—At the various Ward Clubs of the Workingmen last evening discussion over the quarrel between Kearney and the State and County Committees was continued. The Eleventh Ward Club, at Humboldt Hall, endorsed Kearney's course, and expelled from the club A. Gans, its member of the County Committee, for his anti-Kearney proclivities. At the meeting of the Tenth Ward Club the Hall was packed by Kearney's adherents, who took charge of affairs. This resulted in a row, in which Frank Rooney, the newly elected Chairman of the Executive Committee, was assaulted. Several Sergeants-at-Arms quelled the disturbance before any mischief of consequence occurred. The President of the club left in disgust. The Kearney party put another in his place, and Kearney himself took the platform. He announced that on Thursday at noon a mass meeting would be held at the sand lots from which the crowd would march in procession to the City Hall to demand from the Mayor the release from confinement of one O'Donnell, sentenced to imprisonment in the county jail for assault on Hayward, the Potrero blacksmith. Referring to the fact that the County Committee had called a mass meeting for to-morrow at the Horticultural Hall, he called upon his followers to attend the meeting and see that the rights of the people were supported. An investigation of the charges preferred against Kearney was entered upon by the Executive Committee last evening, but the proceedings were secret. Charles Francis Adams in a letter to the New York Herald, speaking of the attempt to unseat Hayes, say: "The establishment of a sound, permanent form of government is a very difficult thing to accomplish, and no matter how stable a government might be, the slightest confusion or crash is always sure to cause trouble and upset matters. I, therefore, am in favor of allowing matters to remain in statu quo. I have arrived at this conclusion after giving it considerable thought and study." "Does your sister Annie ever say anything about me sissy?" asked an anxious Chicago lover of a little girl. "Yes" was the reply; "she said if you had rockers on your shoes they'd make a nice cradle for my doll." NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Notice. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT MY WIFE, Frances A.
