"THE ANAHEIM HIDE AND LEATHER COMPANY."
In accordance with the invitation extended in our last issue, a few citizens were present in the parlors of the Bank of Anaheim on Monday evening, to consult with Mr. Anderson regarding his tannery project. That gentleman stated his views at length, and read a carefully prepared itemized statement of the expense attendant on fitting up a tannery. A press of other matter compels us to defer going into any extended remarks at present. Suffice it to say that the clearness with which Mr. Anderson presented his views and the readiness with which he answered the queries propounded to him, so impressed the gentlemen present with the feasibility of the project and his ability to carry out the details that they unanimously resolved to assist in the undertaking. It was decided that a joint stock company be formed, with a capital stock of $2000, divided into 40 shares of $50 each. It should be explained that for $2000 Mr. Anderson says he can buy all the necessary machinery and run the tannery for six months. At the end of that time, if the stockholders are satisfied with the investment, and desire to increase the capacity of the works, the capital stock may be increased. But the experiment can be made with $2000 just as well as with $10,000, especially as it is proposed to tan only the lighter hides—calf, sheep and goat skins.
A subscription paper was drawn up and the few gentlemen present subscribed for 23 shares, leaving only 17 shares unsubscribed. There is every probability that before this article reaches our readers the stock will be all taken.
Mr. Koenig, who was present, stated that he had consulted with Mr. Osterman, joint owner of the lot formerly occupied as a number yard, and that they would lease so much of it as required by the company for $20 per month.

Of course, the matter of leasing this property and all other arrangements must be settled by the stockholders at a meeting to be held in a few days, and of which due notice will be given.
The Santa Barbara Equal Rights League, of which Mary A. Ashley is President, and Mary Frances Hunt, Secretary, has issued an address to "the friends of equal rights," the tenor of which is that the Constitutional Convention which meets in September should be asked to so amend the Constitution that no citizen of the State shall be disfranchised on account of sex. A printed heading of the petition is at the GAZETTE office, and is at the disposal of any of our lady readers who may desire to circulate it for signatures.
The Pacific Iron Works of San Francisco have completed an eighty-stamp silver mill for the Casco de Pasco Mining Company, of Peru. The machinery of the mill weighed 600 tons. As this immense lot of material has to be packed on mule back over seventy miles of mountainous country, all the machinery had to be made in sections, so that no piece would exceed 300 pounds in weight. The mill thus constructed contained more than 17,000 pieces.
While reading the eloquent extract from Tom Fitch's speech we could not help wondering what unkind freak of fate condemned such a master of eloquence to remain secluded in a little frontier town, away from the world's civilization, and having for companions few with intelligence or culture enough to appreciate his most masterly oratorical efforts. It is all the more inexplicable, as the exile seems to be voluntary. He seems to have deliberately chosen to waste the sweetness of his eloquence on the desert air. Our curiosity to know the reasons therefor is probably shared in by many.
We see it stated in an English paper that the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association of London is appealing to the public for funds. The self-appointed work of this society is the amelioration of animal suffering by providing free supplies of water for man and beast in the streets of the British metropolis. It maintains 324 drinking fountains for the accommodation of men and 342 troughs for horses and cattle. As many as eighteen thousand horses, besides oxen, sheep, and dogs, have been counted drinking at a single trough during the course of a summer's day, while nearly 300,000 people daily quench their thirst in drinking fountains during the
"The heat is life—cold is death."
There is no greater fallacy than the opinion held by many, particularly the young and strong and vigorous, that winter—especially a sharp, frosty one, with plenty of snow—is the most healthy season of the year. Very few persons seem to realize the fact that cold is the condition of death, and that, in both warm and cold climates, it is our unconscious effort to maintain our bodily heat at a temperature of 98° that wears us out. To this temperature, called "blood heat," every cubic inch of oxygen that serves to vitalize our blood must be raised by our own bodily heat, or life ceases. Since in cold weather the maintenance of a sufficiently elevated bodily temperature becomes very often a difficulty too great for our strength, the advent of a severe winter is really more to be dreaded than the visitation of a pestilence.
The saying, "Heat is life—cold is death," has a striking illustration and confirmation in the reports now regularly submitted by Dr. Bussell to the Glasgow Sanitary Committee. The death rate rises and falls with morning will surely come with slumber, and and deride it as we may; may smother it with soap lives in each human body higher than reason and presence of death itself; it led to the denizenship traveled at night over oak blear and dusty hills outline against the skies ashen dawn was even piled of light, over the rimbed the thrilling of the morning." So, in there sings at times the immortal life; and when osophiles may fly back would make eternal, may crush beneath them for Heaven's lark is sinful that will surely come.
I have in this brief answer those who say rounded with a sleep, demonstrate the existence intelligence. I cannot obey a question is necessary.
Pantheists, and Trinitarians, Christians, and Maternalists, and Infidels, and prehend, for in reasoning which are incapable of cal demonstration, they placed to the operation. But that any intellect who has behold seed trees and morning, sunshine and summer; who has wheat become a black been conscious while whirled him from the stars to the able to say that the processes of nature law, is to me inexplicable by law, then either maker of the law, must and an intelligence supersedes among faiths neither let who will question, will despair, I know when the thrill of this fleshy frame.
I know that the time these arms that geste voice that speaks them is merely the seen fingers we thought—but they them all; the spirit that house where the body go out into the real fields of effort, to give worlds before which pales in the presence.
Mr. J. O. Eldridge tioneerer, of the firm of San Francisco, wrote terprise the following:

The water in the river is very low—nearly if not quite as low as at this time last year, And to increase the unpleasantness of the situation about two-thirds of the water is running into the ditch of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company. It seems to be impossible to speedily remedy this injustice. Judge Sepulveda is disbarred, by reason of relationship to some of the parties interested, from trying the case, and Judge McNealy, of San Diego, is either too busy or too indifferent to open court in Los Angeles and hear the cause. He dismissed the case once because it was not shown that the incorporation papers of the Anaheim WaterCompany were on record in the County Clerk's office. But they are on record, and the company have now proofs to show Judge McNealy whenever he will deem it convenient to listen to their petition. This is no ordinary case, and it seems as if the numberless petty suits, involving a few hundred or a few thousand dollars, might be laid aside for the nonce until this one is settled. It would be a good thing for the country if we could engraft upon the constitution some of the admirable judicial systems which characterize "the effete despotisms of Europe" (to use a Fourth of July oratorical phrase.) The prosperity and well-being of hundreds of industrious citizens should not be subject to the caprice of any one man.
Play has become so high in London clubs that it is asserted that at least £3,000,000 change hands over the card tables every season, and both honor and fortune slide down into the whirlpool of ruin. To the clubs can be traced the downfall of many of the young men of England.
Every cubic inch of oxygen that serves to vitalize our blood must be raised by our own bodily heat, or life ceases. Since in cold weather the maintenance of a sufficiently elevated bodily temperature becomes very often a difficulty too great for our strength, the advent of a severe winter is really more to be dreaded than the visitation of a pestilence.
The saying, "Heat is life—cold is death," has a striking illustration and confirmation in the reports now regularly submitted by Dr. Bussell to the Glasgow Sanitary Committee. The death rate rises and falls with the regularity of the thermometer. So many degrees less heat, so many more deaths, and vice versa. In a recently fortnightly report Dr. Russell says: "The death rate in the first week of the fortnight was twenty-one, in the second week twenty-five. The mean temperature in the former week was 40°8' Fah., in the latter 39·5'." He attributes the low rate of the first week to the high mean temperature of the preceding fortnight, which was 47°3', and adds: "This a good illustration of a law which we frequently observe in these reports of temperatures and death rates—that a week of low temperature produces a rise in mortality the week following."
In our climate it would probably be difficult to find a more frequent cause of seriousailments than taking cold. Whatever weak place we have, whatever constitutional disorder we be subject to, cold will surely discover. We take cold because our vitality is too low to ward off the effects of the reduced temperature around us. As a matter of the first importance, then, to resist cold and the various derangements of the system consequent, it is necessary by proper nutrition to maintain our natural animal heat; second, to retain this heat by a sufficient amount of clothing; third, to regulate with care the temperature of the air we breathe. Contrary to the opinion current among lovers of cold weather, a fire in a bedroom is cheaper and better than a doctor's bill; for, owing to our inactive condition during sleep, the circulation of the vitalizing blood is both slow and imperfect, and hence the danger of taking cold by breathing cold air is greatly increased.
A cold is the beginning of everything that is bad. If anyone conscious of having caught one feels cold chills creeping up the back, let

An Eloquent Extract.
Not long ago the Hon. Tom Fitch delivered a lecture in Prescott in aid of the Library, which lecture concluded with the following burst of eloquence, which is as fine a specimen as ever fell from human lips:
The life that dwells in a grain of wheat, entombed for four thousand years in the wrappings of a mummy, burst forth in beauty, and splendor, and fruitfulness when warmed by the sunshine, and wooed by the waters, and embraced by the earth. But that life was not in the elements alone, for the combined forces of nature could not produce a waving hill of corn from a kernel of rock, or an oak tree from an acorn of carved wood. Why may not the spirit, the divine germ of man, when removed from these fleshy wrappings, and planted where it can be cherished and nourished with the sweet and mighty influence of another life, develop into an existence of which our clogged and dumb senses have as little appreciation as has the acorn of the oak? Shall the grosser forms of matter be indestructible, and yet the spirit utterly perish when matter changes its form? The vine that is a bare, brown and seemingly lifeless branch of wood, covered with the snows of winter, becomes, when nursed by juices of the awakened earth and warmed by the suns of spring, a beautiful and breathing arbor. The sun leaves us, his last pickets, with their weapons glinting with crimson and violet, to go down into the dark, and the world no longer pulses with life. But darkness is not eternal, for the morning will surely come again. Dreams come with slumber, and waking after dreams; and deride it as we may, denounce it as we may, another it with scientific phrases and load it down with sophism as we may, there lives in each human breast the intuition, higher than reason and stronger than the presence of death itself, that life is not limited to the denizenship of earth. You have traveled at night over our deserts, when the blear and dusty hills were only visible in outline against the skies, and lo! before the ashen dawn was even penciled with streaks of light, over the rim of the dark has bubled the thrilling of the lark, "the herald of the morning." So, in each human breast there sings at times the voice that tells of imperial life; and when it is heard all phil
On the Beach.
A Poem read before the Orangestherpe Literary Society and published by request.
Santa Monica by the sea,
Germ of a city that is to be.
Queen of the golden orange lands,
Englir with flanking silvery sands,
Sloping gently to the waves
Of a peaceful sea whose bloom laves
As fruityful and as fair a land
As any made by God's own hand.
Rich and fair mayst thou ever be,
Bride of the Occidental Sea.
All day I wandered over thy beach,
Learning the lessons the sea can teach.
I grand in transports of delight
On the mountains bathed in amber light,
Or watched for the sail of some far-off bark,
Gliding from sunlight into the dark,
Or listened to the merry lay
Of fisheries tolling in the bay.
The waves broke softly at my feet,
Murmuring melody end yet sweet.
Light shadows fell across my way
From clouds reflected in the bay,
And memories of a by-gone time
And faces and forms of another clime
In a distant land beyond the sea.
Rose slowly like a dream to me.
I saw bright eyes and flowing treasures,
And felt a mother's soft crescent,
And heard low words of kindness spoken
From loving hearts that now are broken.
How often when a happy boy,
On wild Atlantic's surf-beat shore,
I've gathered shells in childish glee!
Then sorrow was unknown to me.
And free from every strife and care
I built my castles in the air.
But banished from the home I cherished,
The glowing hopes of youth have perished.
Sadly I hear the wave's low moon,
A stranded wreck—on the beach alone.
A Good Name.
How true it is that a good name is capital in itself. Such a capital, like every solid accumulation, is not built in a day, but is the result of years of continuance in well-doing. No man can hope by spurts of good nature or honorable dealings to acquire an enviable reputation, which is implied in the possession of a "good name." Little things done and observed in a series of years, the trifles of which life is made up, if done consciently, are what contribute to the result, and win for a man the confidence of his fellows; and when one has acquired his good name, men seek him in business, rely on his word and prefer his goods. Such a capital is within the reach of the poorest. It commands confidence, and helps one in securing all that is desirable in life, and as it is to be acquired without outlay, does not deceive anyone birth or influence for its attain-

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT IN PURSUIT OF THE PROBATE COURT OF THE county of Los Angeles, State of California, made on the 31st day of July, 1878, in the matter of the estate of S. Goldstein, deceased, will sell at public auction, to the highest bidder, for cash, gold coin of the United States, on SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1878,
At the Anaheim Brewery Saloon on Centre Street, the following personal property, to-wit: Water Tanks, Beer Coolers, Beer Kegs, Brass Cocks, Bedstead, Malta, Hops, Hoes, Malt Crusher, Tumblers, Pictures, Stove, Tables, etc., etc., being the personal effects of the said estate.
Administrator of estate of S. Goldstein, dece'd Anaheim, July 5, 1878.
To the Public.
ON THE TWENTY-THIRD OF LAST APRIL I had misfortune to fall from the roof of the Episcopal Church, where I was at work, and I was injured quite severely. For several long weeks I was confined to my house, and upon my first attempt to pursue my trade—that of Carpenter—I overtaxed my strength and suffered a relapse. My physician now informs me that it is impossible for me, because of my injuries, ever to resume the occupation which I have followed nearly all my life. Accordingly, I must resume the trade I first learned, and which I followed for four years, viz., that of Barber, Hair-dresser, and Wig-maker. I have leased for a term the establishment of Prof. Dean, and have succeeded to his business. I respectfully ask the patronage of my friends in my new business, and in doing so I take the opportunity to add that I feel deeply grateful for the extreme liberality and patronage accorded me when purring the calling I am now forced to abandon. In addition to the barber business I will continue that I have sent to appellation attention to the fact that I have been appointed sole agent for the White Bronze Monuments, the best and cheapest graveyard ornament now made: I have a book showing designs and prices, and have also a sample of the material, which I will take pleasure in showing to all who may desire.

morning will surely come again. Dreams come with slumber, and waking after dreams; and deide it as we may, denounce it as we may, smother it with scientific phrases and load it down with sophism as we may, there lives in each human breast the intuition, higher than reason and stronger than the presence of death itself, that life is not limited to the denizenship of earth. You have traveled at night over our deserts, when the blear and dusty hills were only visible in outline against the skies, and lo! before the ashen dawn was even penciled with streaks of light, over the rim of the dark has bubbled the thrilling of the lark, "the herald of the morning." So, in each human breast there sings at times the voice that tells of immortal life; and when it is heard all philosophies may fly back into the night they would make eternal, all shadows of doom may crouch beneath the blanket of the dark, for Heaven's lark is singing of the morning that will surely come.
I have in this brief and imperfect effort to answer those who say that our little life is rounded with a sleep, offered no argument to demonstrate the existence of a supreme intelligence. I cannot consider that such argument is necessary. That men should be Pantheists, and Trinitarians, and Deists, and Christians, and Materialists, and Spiritualists, and Infidels, and Believers. I can comprehend, for in reasoning about those things which are incapable of mathematical physical demonstration, there is no limit to be placed to the operations of the human mind. But that any intelligent human creature, who has behold seed time and harvest, night and morning, sunshine and tempest, winter and summer; who has seen a grain of dry wheat become a blade of green; who has been conscious while the centrifugal force whirled him from the sunset to the stars, from the stars to the morning—should yet be able to say that these mighty and regular processes of nature are not governed by law, is to me inexplicable. And if governed by law, then either the law itself, or the maker of the law, must be an intelligence, and an intelligence superior to man.
Among philosophies I express no choice, among faiths neither defend nor attack, but let who will question, let who will scoff, let who will despair, I know that there are moments when the thrill of the infinite life possesses this fleshy frame.
I know that the time will come when not these arms that gesture to you, not this voice that speaks to you, not this brain which is merely the poor loom on which unseen fingers weave. imperfect fabrics of thought,—but the life that shall survive them all; the spirit that shall spurn the dark house where the body may be hidden, will go out into the realms of ether, to broader fields of effort, to grander cycles of time, to worlds before which this shall pale as a star pales in the presence of the morning.
Mr. J. O. Eldridge, the well-known auctioneer, of the firm of H. M. Newhall & Co., of San Francisco, writes to the Virginia Enterprise the following note:
"A gentleman called my attention to an item in your paper regarding a lad whose arm had been amputated, and what he suffered and the removing of the same and its results. Fifteen years ago I lost a leg, and it was closely packed in a casket, causing me constant, terrible pain. A good wife, unknown to me, sent a faithful servant to arrange the amputated limb comfortably in a new and large casket. The moment the leg was handled I knew it, and the comfort began then and has never ceased, and I could tell the position precisely in which the missing member was placed. I am glad to

Such a capital is within the reach of the poorest. It commands confidence, and helps one in securing all that is desirable in life, and as it is to be acquired without outlay, does not depend upon birth or influence for its attainment. It is wonderful so many prefer to travel by crooked ways which, though they may seem short cuts to success, do not lead in that direction at all. Let every young man strive to add a good name to his other capital.
DEADWOOD, June 20.—An old virago, Mrs. Elizabeth Lovell, living below Deadwood, and whose arrest was sought on a charge of drawing a deadly weapon three days ago, has barricaded her cabin door and has ever stood off the officers. She appears at the window with a revolver in each hand and dares the officers to enter, saying she will kill as many as possible; then take poison. The officers hope to force a surrender by starving the old lady out. She it was who some weeks since stamped a party who attempted to work a quartz ledge near her house.
It is a curious fact that Shakespeare's allusions to fish are most numerous in the various parts of "Henry IV." In his other plays he mentioned herring seven times, eel four, luce twice, pike once, salmon, trout cod, minnow, twice each; mackerel, gurnard, dace, gudgeon, loach, tench, and shark once each.

Capt. Matthew Webb, the famous swimmer, writes to the London Daily News as follows: "In the recent debate in the House of Lords, on tests for athletics for candidates for commissions in the army, I see that swimming is mentioned as one branch of athletics deemed advisable for cadets to learn. I have been informed, through Col. Hammersley, that the test would be to swim a certain distance in a given time. I would, however, call public attention to the fact that swimming should be regarded from one main point, viz., as a means of saving human life. From this all-important point of view I would suggest that the best swimmer is not necessarily the one who can swim the fastest for a short distance, but the one who can keep afloat the longest. The late wreck of the Eurydice was one of the many cases that confirm this view." Accordingly, Capt. Webb, to encourage others, proposes to show that a man can swim in the sea 36 hours, wholly with artificial aid, by performing that feat himself this summer.
A mother whose crying infant made the sermon of her pastor almost inaudible, was going from the hall when the clergyman spoke up, saying: "My good woman, don't go away." The baby does not disturb me," It isn't for that I leave, sir." was her reply; "it's you that disturbs the baby."
