Gardner, has leased the establishment for one year to Mr. N. A. Morford. We learn that Mrs. Gardner will soon arrive and remain in Anaheim during the year at the residence of her parents, Judge and Mrs. Clark, while Charles will treat himself to a pleasure trip all over the coast. The committee to whom was assigned the duty of soliciting subscriptions in aid of the Fire Company, report that they have secured subscriptions to the amount of $300 per year, payable in monthly installments. At the next meeting of the company the question of purchasing a uniform will come up. It should be stated that none of the money subscribed by the citizens will be used for this or kindred purposes, but will be expended for repairs, new apparatus, etc. The Company will give a picnic on some day next month. The precise time will be settled upon in a few days. The Board of Trustees held a meeting on Saturday to consider proposals for sprinkling the streets. F. Conrad proposed to do the sprinkling for $4 90 per day; L. F. Lewis for $6; and E. F. Cahill proposed that the town expend $1200 in boring wells on the town lot, and erecting pumping machinery. He would then contract to sprinkle the streets for three years for a compensation of $3 per day. Mr. Cohen moved to accept Mr. Cahill's bid. Rejected: ayes—Look and Cohen; noes—Yocum, Booga, and Kirby. A motion to indefinitely postpone action in this matter was then made by Mr. Cohen, but an amendment by Dr. Yocum, to postpone action until the next regular meeting, was adopted. A communication, giving a list of the officers-elect of the Fire Company, and asking the Trustees to turn over the property to said officers, was received, and the Clerk was ordered to return the communication to the writer. When the retiring officers certify to the election of their successors, the Board will doubtless comply with the request contained in the communication. The navy of Kecador no longer exists. The commander inspected the powder magazine with a burning candle in his hand, and commander and crew were seen flying though the air along with the fragments of the vessel.

Our remarks upon the question of water supply for the town have had the effect that we anticipated and desired—they have provoked discussion and comment and led to an interchange of opinion. The views we expressed were crude, and intended to be only preliminary. Our correspondent, "Y," goes deeper into the matter—goes back, as it were, to the very first principles. He makes a number of good points, one of the best being that the proper authorities should bend every energy to secure water for irrigating purposes; as, without this, there will be no necessity to sprinkle streets, no necessity to extinguish fires, no necessity for a town government, no necessity for a town. But, as there is not the faintest shadow of a doubt that a repetition of the last two years' water troubles will again occur, the questions to be discussed are whether "Y's" plan is feasible, and whether there is not a still better one. If anyone has a plan which he considers fitter or more practicable let him make it known. We are told that in certain quarters our remarks have been construed as reflecting on and censuring the Trustees for neglect of duty or something of that sort. It is difficult to see how such an inference could be drawn from our article. When we desire to censure anybody or anything, we will do it in language unmistakable, and not indirectly or by inuendo. The Trustees have done as much as could be expected of them—as much as Washington Letter. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZEITE. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12. Nobody but Beecher can do justice to the present spell of weather hereabouts. When Henry Ward entered Plymouth, pulpit that sultry Sabbath morning with the remark that it was "damned hot," he probably hit the nail square on the head, and, doubtless, his congregation appreciated the sentiment. But it is hotter than that, on an average, here now. However, as Beecher and Bob Ingersoll have abolished the punishment of the ungodly, there are no opportunities for comparison. And now as we poor miserable denizens of the handsomest city in America go lolling about over red-hot concrete pavements, sighing for a lodge in some vast wilderness, with "an iceberg or two at control," we turn an envious eye upon the northern Esquimaux, who sits all day upon solidified snow-banks eating frozen cod-liver oil. Heigho! the comforts of this world are very unequally distributed. How odd it seems every day or two to read a press despatch from some neighboring springs telling the world it is so cool there. Indeed, if it keeps on this way somebody will freeze to death before fall. But I suspect these reports are merely free advertising dodges. Every place where a little water comes out of the ground has dug a spring, built a big boarding house, and dignified it with the name of "Summer resort." These are all well enough, and nice quiet places for families to spend the summer season, but when they come to send telegraph reports of The concert given under the direction of Professor Yarndley on Saturday evening was a grand success and proved that in our vicinity are some of the finest musicians to be found in the land. Mrs. Trew's singing was especially admired, and she was greeted with a burst of applause that showed an attentive audience. Eds. GAZETTE—In your issue of the 17th you discuss, editorially, the water question of Anaheim. You cover most of the points well, with a reasoning that shows you to be posted in all that pertains to the scientific modes of procuring a water supply. You also discuss the obstacles in the way in a manner that indicates that you are posted in the usual modes of securing a supply from beneath the surface of the earth, with its advantages and disadvantages. So far as the Trustees are concerned, in their official capacity, there is one way of obtaining a supply for street sprinkling and extinguishing fires that, all things considered, may be more practical and economical than the boring of wells and putting up engines to obtain supply. It is an undeniable fact that the water authorities of Anaheim are bound to obtain a supply of water for irrigating purposes, to make it worth while to consider any other question connected with the prosperity or even existence of our town. When they secure an ample supply of water to keep our town alive, it would be no difficult matter to secure from their ditch, north or east of town, a supply amply sufficient for street sprinkling and extinguishing of fires. A reservoir built in the neighborhood of Mr. Kroeger's, and kept filled with water from the ditch, could easily be constructed without a great expenditure of money. Pipes leading from the reservoir into town and along each principal street would not be an impossible undertaking, and with a proper amount of upright pipes connected with the main pipe, a supply for both street sprinkling and extinguishing of fires would be constantly at hand. This method would do away with the uncertainty of wells, the constant cost of running an engine, and be much more reliable than anything else. If my memory serves me, we would have a fall of about 18 or 20 feet from the ditch at the residence of Mr. Kroeger to Langenberger's store. Unless the water authorities insure us an undoubted supply of water to keep our town and vicinity in existence, it is useless for the Town Trustees to make any preparations to keep down the dust and put out the fires. If they accomplish the first and greatest considerations, then I think that my suggestions are perfectly feasible, and that they could be accomplished with a moderate outlay in money. Yours truly, Y. The concert given under the direction of Professor Yarndley on Saturday evening was a grand success and proved that in our vicinity are some of the finest musicians to be found in the land. Mrs. Trew's singing was especially admired, and she was greeted with a burst of applause that showed an attentive audience. How odd it seems every day or two to read a press despatch from some neighboring springs telling the world it is so cool there. Indeed, if it keeps on this way somebody will freeze to death before fall. But I suspect these reports are merely free advertising dodges. Every place where a little water comes out of the ground has dug a spring, built a big boarding house, and dignified it with the name of "Summer resort." These are all well enough, and nice quiet places for families to spend the summer season, but when they come to send telegraph reports of the number of blankets they have to sleep under every night, it begins to appear just a little gauzy. I noticed one of these reports the other day from a resort which I personally know to be about as hot as any place in creation, except St. Louis, and his Satanic Majesty's winter residence. If the Congressional campaign waxes as hot as the weather, there will be a lively time if before the returns are all in. From the stir about committee headquarters here it looks as though some tall work was to be done. The control of the next Congress is an important matter, and both parties will make a hard struggle for it. All bluster aside, the advantage is decidedly with the Democrats, and from a careful survey of the field, I do not see how they can lose the House, while the Senate is already theirs after March 4th next, by from 10 to 15 majority. A candid estimate of the probabilities by States recently made by the Post, gives the House a Democratic majority of not less than 30 or 35, and the New York Sun figures about the same way, both estimates agreeing that the chances are in favor of a larger majority. In spite of all bluster, the Presidential investigation has greatly demoralized the Republicans, and given the Democrats fresh advantage. True, the state of things that has been proven was generally known to exist by a vast majority of the American people long ago, but when it comes to be confessed in detail by the rascally tools who performed the dirty work, it clinches matters and places honest people on their metal. The common verdict is that these rascals, bad as they appear from their own showing, are not to be compared with the grander scoundrels who hired and backed them up. The great outcry of unreliability made against these witnesses fails of its purpose, because people know that they were regarded "reliable" and good enough when they were wanted to make false returns and aid in accomplishing felious results. They would have ever been brave patriots, it seems, if they hadn't told John Sherman and his pals. The innate sense of justice in the honest American people will rise up and crush on the perpetrators and the beneficiaries of that great fraud. And whatever else the investigation may have done or failed to do, there is one result so patent and pronounced as to be quite beyond the domain of doubt. It has sunk the decayed remains of Hayes' humbug of civil service reform beneath such a mountain of contempt that resurrection is impossible. Hindoo pundits, with jaw-cracking names, had been elected as honorary or corresponding members. Among these were Muljee Thackeray of Bombay, who, in defiance of the religious views of his compatriots, had married a widow; Kovasji Merivauj Shroff, Secretary of the Bombay branch of the National Indian Association; Hurrischund Chintamon, political agent of the Guicowar of Baroda; Sirdar Dayalsing, one of the richest nobles in the Punjaub; Baboo Peary Chad Mittra, and Dya Nand Saraswati Swami, Chief of the Aryo Somaj. An article from the Indian Spectator of Bombay was read, saying that several officials of the society purposed soon to start from America for India to combat Christian missionaries on their own grounds. They intend to stump India on the social condition of America and Europe under Christianity. Several sacks of rupees given by wealthy natives would be forthcoming to start a newspaper in India in the interests of the India organization, which is to be known as the Theosophical Society of the Aryo Somaj. A proposition was discussed in the meeting to purchase land in Brooklyn on which to build an Aryo temple and a house for community purposes, to be conducted by native members of the Hindoo Aryo Somaj. Lectures on the earliest religious books of India, on the great religions of the world, and on proofs of their origin from the primitive Aryan race, are to be given for the benefit of Americans. Two emissaries of the society had lately gone abroad in the interests oftheosophy. One was said to be a well-known physician, who had gone to Manila, Singapore, and Madras to found branches. The other, an authoress and traveler, had gone to Japan by the way of California. The Theosophical Society has been lately reorganized as a secret body. Both men and women are eligible for membership, which is now divided into three sections, and each section into three degrees. All candidates for active fellowship are required to enter as probationers, in the third degree of the third section, and no fixed time is specified in which the new fellow can advance from any lower to a higher degree. All depends upon merit. To be admitted into the highest degree of the first section, Theosophist must have become freed of every leaning toward any kind of religion in preference to another and from all exacting obligations to society, politics, and family. He must ready to lay down his life; if necessary, for the good mankind, and of a brother fellow, what ever race, color, or ostensible creed. He must renounce every kind intoxicating beverage, and adopt a life of strict chastity. Those who have not wholly disentralled themselves from religious prejudice, but have a certain progress toward self-mastery and enlightenment, belong in the second section. The third section is probationary: its members can quit the society at will, although obligation assumed at entrance will continually bind them to absolute secrecy as to what may have been communicated under restrictions.

Mrs. Trew's singing was especially admired, and she was greeted with a burst of applause that showed an attentive and appreciative audience. Miss Heimann's beautiful soprano voice came floating down to the delight of all, clear as the song of the birds. Auld Robin Gray, by Miss Alice Chase, was exquisitely rendered and greatly admired. Mr. J. Booth has a splendid voice, and his rendition of the "Village Black, smith" was conceded by all to be one of the grand events of the evening. Mr. Grimahaw sang "How can I leave thee" with that elegance of style for which the gentleman is so well noted. Schubert captured the house with his violin, of which instrument he is a most perfect master. When Dr. Higgins played upon his flute the medley of Scotch airs every foot in the house kept time to the stirring music. The doctor's selections showed excellent management of his instrument and rare judgment and taste. The piano duo "Galop de Bravoure" by Miss Langenberger and Mr. Yarndley was excellently rendered and called forth much applause. The piano solo, "Grand Fantasia on Irish Melodies," showed to advantage the high culture of the professor. The intermission of half an hour for ice cream as provided for in the programme was passed profitably to Mr. Hanna at least, and dismally by the reporter whose stock of two bit pieces was by no means on an equality with his appetite. The Mobile Register pleasantly alludes to Gen. Grant as "that stupid accident of the war." But then he was the liveliest and most effective "stupid accident" that ever was turned loose in this country. A New York man, "joishing" an Irishman, asked him why where was no record or trace of any of his race being found in Nesh's Ark. He replied that all his countrymen at that time were very rich and had boats of their own. The committee has not done much for some days past, having taken a 4th of July recess, but they are now at it again. Kellogg, who has been whining around all winter cursing Hayes, and promising to tell some truth about the Louisiana election, was sent for at the White House just before he went on the stand, and appears to have made his peace with his fraudulency. His tone is entirely changed. Zach Chandler has been here recently, consulting with the Republican Campaign Committee, and among the features of the canvass agreed upon was the plan of making a hard fight in the States where U.S. Senators are to be chosen by the legislatures elected this fall. Every conceivable effort will be made to save Conkling and Howe, and to get Chandler elected in place of Christainey. Also to secure a Republican successor to Oglesby, of Illinois, and Barnum, of Connecticut. This not with a view of holding the Senate next term, but to keep the Democratic majority down, and with the hope of regaining the lost ground two or three years hence. Kentucky has had a tardy and singular triumph of justice. Grove Kennedy, a desperado, committed murder, and defied anybody to interfere with him. He appeared at one of the most fashionable watering places in the State, so inert was the sense of justice in the community. The Governor, after his attention had been called to the case by the newspapers, resolved to see whether the law could be enforced. He sent a detective officer, who, by a strategem, arrested Kennedy, and hurried him to Louisville. There being no assurance that the local officers would prevent a rescue, the Governor returned the prisoner to the court having jurisdiction to try him, escorted by a company who had to remain on duty during the trial, and maintain the majesty of the law at the point of the haynet. The trial miscarried, so that a new trial was ordered. This time Kennedy was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for life. In the Court House yard, Mr. George Meickle has growing some very fine millet—the first and only attempt (so far as we are aware) to grow this valuable article in this county, either for grain or fodder. In England and in the Eastern States, millet is highly prized and extensively cultivated as fodder for live stock. It is very prolific; both in seed and stalks, which latter make a make nutritious feed for milch cows. It is easily raised and can be cut from three to six times in a single season. We would call the attention of our farmers to the importance of giving millet a trial at least, and for that purpose Mr. Meickle will gladly distribute all the seed he may have to spare from the few stalks he has growing—San Diego Union. The United States Treasurer has written to Assistant Treasurers, authorizing them to use the standard silver dollars in their vaults in payment to persons presenting checks, to parties desiring them upon disbursement of pay-rolls, and in exchange in a moderate amount for greenbacks and national bank notes, and for payment in lien of one and two-dollar notes. Fred Forbush, who has just returned from a scaling expedition at San Miguel Island, reports that one day last week a land-slide occurred from one of the high, precipitous bluffs which form one of the extreme points of that island. The late heavy rains saw assigned as the cause of the breaking off at this point, and those who saw it say that at least forty acres of land were dumped into the ocean by it—Santa Barbara Press.

An article from of Bombay was read, What Makes the Weeds Grow? Sir Robert Peel, the great English statesman, was one of the foremost men in England to encourage English agriculture. He recognized farming as the most important calling among men, and the farmer as the mainstay of the nation. He delighted in the encouragement of associations for the improvement of agriculture. He was a frequenter of farmers' club meetings, and often took part in their discussions, and in various ways gave his sanction and influence to the progress in agricultural science. He recognized in the introduction of labor-saving machinery on the farm the means of great national advance towards wealth and power. It is related of him that upon one occasion he presented to a favorite farmers' club two iron plows of superior construction, thinking thereby to do the club members a favor, and through them give a stimulus to the agriculture of the shire. When he next visited the club, to his great surprise he learned that they had never put the plows in use, but were still using the old wooden plows. Upon expressing his surprise to the President of the club, that worthy officer replied, "Sir, we have tried the iron, and be all of one mind, that they make the weeds grow." California is covered with weeds this year, and, viewed through the eyes of the English farmers' club, we must come to the conclusion that California farmers have been using iron plows. Seriously speaking, we would inquire if it is not within the memory of all pioneer farmers in California that in the early days here but very few of the weeds, now the most troublesome Old Time Reminiscences. The New York Tribune has a mine of unpublished tradition in the person of the venerable Thurlow Weed, upon which it draws at intervals through the interviewing process, and always with interest to its readers. Mr. Weed is eighty-one years old, in the enjoyment of fair physical health and an unimpaired intellect. From his early manhood to the present time he has been state or less conspicuous in New York as a politician and journalist. As Mr. Weed has a retentive memory, many of the incidents of the past half century, and beyond it, are familiar to him, and it is by their recital that he makes himself an agreeable social companion. He was a passenger on the first train of steam cars that was ever run in his native State. This was on the Mohawk and Hudson River Railroad, the first section of the present New York Central, which extended from Albany sixteen miles to Schenectady. The trip was made on the last day of July, 1833. Mr. Weed also saw the first steamboat that ever navigated the Hudson River. It ascended that stream in 1807, when he was a boy ten years old. The manner of obtaining a view of the steamer, and the sensations produced by the sight, he describes in a single paragraph by saying: "We boys, in our great eagerness to see the strange craft, took off our shirts and jackets, and putting them on planks swam with them out to the island. Finally we saw the monster coming, vomiting fire and smoke and throwing up sparks. The paddle-wheels were not covered. We were frightened almost out of our senses, and at first ran out of In jaw-cracking names, monetary or correspondence these were Muljee Jee, who, in defiance of his compatriots, had taken the day branch of the National; Hurrischund Chinatown of the Guicuwar of passing, one of the rich clubs; Baboo Peary Chad and Saraswati Swami, Najaj.

Its probationary; its memorial at will, although named at entrance will conduce to absolute secrecy as to been communicated under Secretary Blavatsky became Tuesday last, in Judge In Barnborough church, Yorkshire, there is a curious monument to the memory of Percival Cresaere who is said to have been attacked by a wild cat in the neighboring woods. The battle continued up to the church porch, where both fell mortally wounded and the red tinge of the pavement of magnesian limestone is, according to tradition, due to this encounter. The crest of the Cresaeres, doubtless an ancient Norman house, was a wild cat. In England the genuine wild cat, as distinguished from domestic cats which take to the woods, is ever navigated the Hudson River. It ascended that stream in 1807, when he was a boy ten years old. The manner of obtaining a view of the steamer, and the sensations produced by the sight, he describes in a single paragraph by saying: "We boys, in our great eagerness to see the strange craft, took off our shirts and jackets, and putting them on planks swam with them out to the island. Finally we saw the monster coming, vomiting fire and smoke and throwing up sparks. The paddle-wheels were not covered. We were frightened almost out of our senses, and at first ran out of sight, but presently took courage and cheered the pioneer steamer with the people that lined the bank of the river." The estimate given below of General Butler proves beyond question that Mr. Weed is a correct judge of human character. Probably eight men out of ten who have marked the course of the Essex statesman will say that his mental and moral likeness could not have been better portrayed. Says Mr. Weed: "Statesmanship in Congress is now so low that it will take many years to build it up to a higher tone. Probably the most influential and the ablest man in Congress to-day is Benjamin F. Butler, as he is the worst. Not that he would be bad from preference, but that he expects to rise by bad methods. He would be good, I think, if he could secure his aims by being so. I think he is a man who says himself that while he is doing evil to foist himself into power, he would use his ill-gotten power in a right way. He never expected to get power except by unworthy means. He went to Charleston as a Democratic delegate for the purpose of breaking up the Democratic party, and of making a party radical enough to choose him its leader, whereby he hoped to become Mr. Lincoln's successor. Massachusetts never served the country so badly as when she sent Butler this last time to Congress. It is an alarming sign of the times that a man of Butler's statutes thinks that the course he chooses to adopt is one that will give him a large following." The entire article of reminiscences furnished by Mr. Weed is instructive. But we close our notice with the annexed paragraph, in which he explains why he has not visited California. Said the interviewer to him: "And you have lived to be able to travel by rail across the continent to San Francisco" Mr. Weed replied: "Yes, but I never have, and that I greatly regret. For several years I have had a standing invitation from Governor Stanford, of California, to accept the use of his palace car, which he was to send East for me. But now my health will not allow me to undertake the journey. Three years ago I was ready, but postponed the trip a year, so as to have the company of a very dear English friend, whose portrait you see up there,Sir Henry Holland,a member of the distinguished family of that name,and physician to the Queen.A fortnight after he wrote me that he would go ho died.I have never been further West by rail than the Mississippi, on the occasion of the opening of the Chicago and Rock Island Railway,some twenty or thirty years ago;I went down the river on a steamboat." In Barnborough church, Yorkshire, there is a curious monument to the memory of Percival Cressaere who is said to have been attacked by a wild cat in the neighboring woods. The battle continued up to the church porch, where both fell mortally wounded and the red tinge of the pavement of magnesian limestone is, according to tradition, due to this encounter. The crest of the Cressaeres, doubtless an ancient Norman house, was a wild cat. In England the genuine wild cat, as distinguished from domestic cats which take to the woods, is believed to be extinct, but there are still many to be found in the north of Scotland. According to John F. Bucland the most distinctive difference between the wild and tame cat is found in the different length of intestines. He found these to be only five feet in length in two specimens of the wild cat, whereas they would probably be thrice as long in the domestic cat. As the Japanese Minister of the Interior, Okubo Toshimichi, was on the way to the Daijoknau at a lonely part of the road just outside the castle most, at Akasaka, the carriage passed two men, dressed like students, who appeared to be amusing themselves by plucking flowers. Just then four men dashed from the concealment in a dilapidated outhouse into the middle of the road one armed with a long sword and the others with dirks. They advanced on the Minister's carriage, which they stopped by slashing the legs of the horses, and so disabling them, while the coachman was killed as he attempted to jump down from the box. Meanwhile the four men who commenced the attack were joined by the two who had been previously passed on the road. The Minister opened the door of the carriage to escape, but his head was immediately cloven by one of the ruffians, his hand, which had been raised to defend his head, being severed by the same blow. He was dragged into the road and dispatched by innumerable stains. The six assassins appeared at the palace gate to give themselves up to the police, confessing their crime. Get your smoked glass ready in time. On the 29th of July there will be an eclipse of the sun. It will begin here at 45 minutes to 1 o'clock, and end at 14 minutes past 3 p.m. The United States Government will send a corps of scientific gentlemen to the coast of Ireland to take observations. In California the eclipse will not be very heard. In Colorado it will be total. ing invitation from Governor Stanford, of California, to accept the use of his palace car, which he was to send East for me. But now my health will not allow me to undertake the journey. Three years ago I was ready, but postponed the trip a year, so as to have the company of a very dear English friend, whose portrait you see up there, Sir Henry Holland, a member of the distinguished family of that name, and physician to the Queen. A night after he wrote me that he would go he died. I have never been further West by rail than the Mississippi, on the occasion of the opening of the Chicago and Rock Island Railway, some twenty or thirty years ago; then I went down the river on a steamboat to St. Louis, where I have never been by rail." Nothing new under the sun. By telephone from Mycenee comes the intelligence that Dr. Schieman has recently unearthed on the site of ancient Troy (now a sand lot), a stone tablet, bearing an inscription, which being translated, reads "The Chinese must go! D. Achilles." Mrs. Langtry, the reigning London beauty, did a spirited thing the other day. In the midst of an admiring circle she asked her husband to introduce to her a certain well-known gentleman. He did. The gentleman, flattered, smiled and bowed. "I want you," said the beauty, giving him her handkerchief, "I want you to wipe off the paint from my face, as I hear you say at the Clubs that I am painted." A dispatch from Victoria announces that an Indian girl was recently very severely punished by her own tribe for witchcraft, and an elderly squaw was slayed and then hanged for a similar offense. The news of these outrages will excite much indignation among the good people of New England Time was, however, when they—but we won't dwell on painful memories of the past. Charles Harak, of Rushville, Ind., in 70 years old, but he woofed a girl of 16 with so much vigor that, after long hesitation, she promised to marry him. They were to meet on a certain day in the County Clark's office and have the ceremony performed. In the meantime, Harak's son aged 24 took a fancy to the girl, and had no difficulty in winning her away from his father. The young couple went to the County Clark's office earlier than the appointed hour and were married.
