H. Kellogg arrived in Anaheim on Sunday evening, after an absence of five months in Humboldt county. He has leased his farm in that county, and proposes to become a permanent citizen of Anaheim. The large tea rose, which for more than half a score of years has been the pride and glory of Mr. Hartnug's garden, succumbed to disease this season and on Saturday last it was cut down. It was an immense bush, fully eighteen feet high, and at all seasons of the year was covered with a wealth of roses. The following Grand Jury was impanelled in the County Court on Monday: James Foord, foreman; M. L. Gilman, S. Sontag, F. L. Floyd, Josiah McCoy, John C. Brown, Sidney Smith, H. Meverstein, Charles McDowell, A. Milla, T. C. Dyer, F. M. Trapp, H. D. Barrows, H. C. Graham, George H. Pike, William Foster, M. Devins. A great number of people attended services in the new church at Garden Grove on last Sunday. The announcement was made that a debt of $225 hung over the church, and the congregation were appealed to for subscriptions to wipe out the debt. After some earnest talk the amount was all subscribed. One hundred dollars was raised in $25 subscriptions; $100 in $10 subscriptions and the balance was given in sums of one dollar and upward. The ball to be given by the Anaheim Fire Department on Thanksgiving Eve bids fair to be one of the most successful ever given here. Contrary to the usual custom, many tickets have already been sold, and there are other indications that the attendance will exceed the expectations of the most sanguine. The different committees hold frequent meetings to consult together, and the public may rest assured that everything will be done to make the party a pleasant remembrance. A tidal wave of considerable force dashed upon our coast last Friday afternoon. A report states that at Wilmington the unnatural agitation of the waves lasted about half an hour, the water first falling three feet below its wonted line on the breakwater and then rising that much above it. Telegraphic information has been received to the effect that the wave wrecked a portion of the Cayucas wharf, dismantled still further the People's wharf at San Luis Obispo and carried away half of the wharf at Point Sal. At the last named place one life was lost and twelve hundred sacks of grain met destruction. Monday afternoon as Dr. S. H. Orme was passing near his office, in front of Lanfranco Block, he was accosted by Dr. K. D.

Telegraphic information has been received to the effect that the wave wrecked a portion of the Cayucas wharf, dismantled still further the People's wharf at San Luis Obispo and carried away half of the wharf at Point Sal. At the last named place one life was lost and twelve hundred sacks of grain met destruction. Monday afternoon as Dr. S. H. Orme was passing near his office, in front of Lanfranco Block, he was accosted by Dr. K. D. Wise, who asked him the question, "Have you got any more papers about me?" Dr. Orme replied, "No, they are all before the Medical Society." With this Dr. Wise struck Dr. Orme, throwing him off his balance, and as he fell back Wise pulled a revolver. Upon regaining his feet, Dr. Orme also made a motion as if to draw a weapon, but Judge Lindley stopped between the two medicos and stopped what might have terminated in very serious consequences. Charges were made against Dr. Wise, and he was arrested for assault, but released on bail. The affair, we are informed, grew out of the possession by Dr. Orme, in his capacity as President of the State Medical Society, of certain documents purporting to be damaging to the character of Dr. Wise. Many of our citizens will remember O. H. Yocum, a brother of Dr. Yocum, who passed a month or two in Anaheim in the early part of 1873. On the 5th inst., he was elected to Congress from the 20th district of Pennsylvania. The district is largely Democratic, usually giving a majority of 2500 for that ticket. The Democrats nominated Ex-Governor Curtin, and the Greenbackers nominated Mr. Yocum. The Republicans made no nomination, and the result was the defeat of the Democratic candidate by a large majority. The election of Mr. Yocum is really a Republican gain, as he has always been identified with that party, and will have but few rag-baby confreres in Congress. It may be stated here that the successful candidate's majority would have been one less had his brother, Dr. Yocum, been a resident of the 20th district instead of Anaheim. The Doctor has no sympathy with the so-called Greenback party. This enterprise was taking for the Cajon the determination to the "loss of home" unless this canal co-failure has often the courage has never people of Anaheimance in the hour of joicing equally with stream of the Sanh along its bluffs for brings within its fife thousand acres of cultural land as La This watery element tears of joy instead golden harvests in a certainty.

After reading this said that it had be proper for him in the Cajon ditch. Three years ago irrigation petitioned to order an election Law, at which a ditch should be set this district. The election was held large majority vote A DAY OF REJOICING. PICNIC AND BARBECUE AT FLUME NO. 8. The Consummation of a Gigantic Irrigation Scheme Fitly Celebrated - Rejoicing at the Completion of the Cajon Ditch - A Large Assembly - An Excellent Programme Carried out to the Letter. On last Saturday morning the hot puffs of wind which came in fitful gusts dampened the expectations of those who had looked forward to a pleasant day on which to celebrate the completion of the great Cajon ditch. The atmosphere near the foothills was charged with dust, and there was every indication that the pleasure of the day was to be marred by what is known as a "Santa Ana wind." But these disagreeable symptoms disappeared to a great extent, and on the whole the weather proved quite propitious. There is no doubt, however, that many were deterred from attending the barbecue by the threatening aspect of the atmosphere in the morning. Flume No. 8, seven miles from Anaheim, had been fixed upon as the place of assembly, and at 11 o'clock A.M. there was a great congregation of people at that point. By 12 o'clock, nearly, if not quite, a thousand people had gathered—all sorts of people, in all sorts of conveyances, and from all sorts of places. Had a stranger happened along, he would have had no difficulty in determining that the people he saw had come together for a day of merry-making, and to celebrate some great triumph. It was plainly discernible that the work was commenced in March, 1873, but owing to the failure of many to make their payments the work was abandoned after eight miles of ditch had been constructed. For two years nothing was done, but in June, 1877, the Cajon Irrigation Company sprung into existence. Seven men inaugurated this grand enterprise, and through good and evil report they have adhered together and worked with a vim to achieve the success which we are here to-day to celebrate. Fifty thousand dollars have been expended on the ditch. It is 15 miles in length, 8 feet in width at the bottom, has a carrying capacity of 4000 inches of water, with a fall of 30 inches to the mile, and will irrigate over 10,000 acres of land. Four miles of the ditch had to be excavated through solid rock, and flumes aggregating one mile in length had to be constructed. In building these flumes 300,000 feet of timber were used. If you will take the trouble to walk but a short distance you will see a fence 100 feet longer and ten feet higher than the one beside us. You will also see a cut of 500 feet, which required an expenditure of $2000. This will give you a faint idea of the magnificence of the work and the obstacles which its builders had to encounter. I desire, on behalf of the Cajon Irrigation Company, to return thanks to the many people who have befriended us and given us their counsel and assistance. To the Yorbas we owe a great debt of gratitude. For more than a year our men have been swarming over their ranchos, destroying timber and injuring it in various ways, but these noble men never murmured or made complaint. Few men would silently endure what they have, and the Company will hold them ever in knelly remembrance.* Our sincere thanks are also due to the merchants of Anaheim, who have done everything in their power to help us. They have stood by us nobly, furnishing us with supplies at low rates, and waiting uncomplainingly for their money. To Mr. Suibert, the cashier of the Bank of Anaheim, we owe much. In the hour of need he the encouragement of public works has always been conclusive evidence of enlightenment. No nation has ever been truly great which has not developed its natural resources. The wonderful monuments of antiquity demonstrate the advanced civilization of their creators, and we have to-day in perfect preservation the unimpeachable witnesses of ancient splendor. The speaker then alluded to the necessity of concerted action in all matters of importance, and clearly pointed out the disastrous consequences of petty dissensions. He then spoke of the possibilities of the future; of the great valleys of California, now only tentated by the herder, which would ere long be turned into sources of wealth more lasting than the mines of the Sierra. The streams which flow down the mountain's side would be poured on the thirsty plains, and the hum of numberless happy homes would replace forever the solitude of desolation. A few years hence those who have constructed the present work will hardly realize their old habitations. Such are the legitimate fruits of honest labor intelligently and faithfully directed. The address was delivered without notes, and was entirely an off-hand effort. Theodore Lynill Esq. was next introduced and was received with marks of favor. Mr. Lynill is a speaker of rapid utterance and great command of language, and his short speech on this occasion was in admirable taste. He commenced his address by remarking that, in the language of Breckenridge, he felt like an exploded volcano, the orator of the day, Stephen M. White Esq., having so thoroughly exhausted the subject in hand. He thought this character of cele- The address was delivered without notes, and was entirely an off-hand effort. Theodore Lynill Esq. was next introduced and was received with marks of favor. Mr. Lynill is a speaker of rapid utterance and great command of language, and his short speech on this occasion was in admirable taste. He commenced his address by remarking that, in the language of Breckenridge, he felt like an exploded volcano, the orator of the day, Stephen M. White Esq., having so thoroughly exhausted the subject in hand. He thought this character of celebration should be more encouraged than that class which celebrated victories on the field of battle. Triumphs, such as the completion of the great work under discussion, required the same qualities to ensure success as triumphs in war, and left none of the hard feelings behind; for they incurred to the benefit and glory of nature from whom they were born, and were not disturbed by recollections of the shrieks of the wounded and the groans of the dying. They promoted the prosperity and welfare of all and injured none. They called forth all the nobler qualities of man without awakening his savage instincts. They were cognizently noble works, calling forth man's best attributes and tending to elevate him to the level of the great model in whose image he was created. This class of enterprise also impressed upon all the necessity of union. Without unity there could be no success; with it no failure. No nobler enterprise could be carried out than such a one as this, which has for its object the conversion of the hitherto unproductive lands into a valley teeming with every variety of vegetable wealth. The speaker concluded by saying that barbecues were in his opinion, more for the purpose of frolic and dance, than long speeches, and exhorted all to practice unity in their pleasure as in their work, when success and happiness would attend them. Mr. Pio Davila next made an address in Spanish. The old gentleman is quite an orator, graceful in gesticulation and distinct in utterance. At the close of his speech M. L. Wicks Esq. was introduced by Mr. McFadden as one of the Seven who originated the Cajon Irrigation Company. Mr. Wicks disclaimed any intention of making a speech; it would ill become him—one of the committee on literary exercises—to do so. Nevertheless, he made a few pointed and pithy remarks which were very well received. He paid a graceful compliment to the ladies, and said that to them was due no small amount of praise for the encouragement they had bestowed on the enterprise over which they were now rejoicing. The speaker boldly declared himself in favor of woman suffrage, and believed that the future greatness and prosperity of our country greatly depends on the speedy enfranchisement of women. He urged his point with great earnestness and force, and if he made no converts to his peculiar notion he at least impressed his hearers with the conviction that he meant what he said. Flume No. 8, seven miles from Anaheim, had been fixed upon as the place of assembly, and at 11 o'clock A.M. there was a great congregation of people at that point. By 12 o'clock, nearly, if not quite, a thousand people had gathered—all sorts of people, in all sorts of conveyances, and from all sorts of places. Had a strangar happened along, he would have had no difficulty in determining that the people he saw had come together for a day of merry-making, and to celebrate some great triumph. It was plainly discernable—every face borne that intense look of satisfaction born of a triumph over difficulties and obstacles. The good humor and sense of exultation was contagious, and if any went there feeling morose or "blue," that feeling was quickly dispelled by the jollity of the surroundings. The donations had been made with that lavishness characteristic of our people. To use a Celtic phrase, there were "slathers" of everything. And although the strain on the refurbished amusement was unceasing throughout the day, there was no apparent diminution in the supply. The Anaheim brass band discussed most excellent music throughout the day, and they contributed in no small degree to the enjoyment of the occasion. Beside the flume two long tables had been made, and sat on these tables had been covered by a perfect avalanche of toothsome things. For four and twenty hours previous a huge ox and several sheep and hogs had been slowly cooking, barbecue fashion; and now the old's pronounced them "done to a turn." This was the signal for the guests to commence the work of destruction. But this veracious chronicler will forever hold his peace as to the gastronomic feats which he that eventful day was witness to. He will venture to say, however, that there were many in that throng who, on the following day, in the words of Carlyle, "were made painfully aware that they were possessed of a stomach." A large platform, screened from the rays of the sun by a roof of willows, and furnished with an abundance of seats, had been made directly in front of the speakers' stand. After dinner the seats on this platform were occupied by the multitude who, having satiated the cravings of their physical system, were prepared to receive the mental repast which the literary committee had in store for them. Mr. W. M. McFadden called the audience to order, and in a few well-chosen words bade them welcome. He then read the following letter which had been received from Mr. J. W. Shanklin, the President of the Cajon Irrigation Company, who was unable to be present: Trustees of the Cajon Irrigation Co. GENTLEMEN:—I congratulate you upon the completion of the main canal in the system of irrigation works projected and necessary for the full development of the agricultural capacity or resources of your section of Los Angeles county. This enterprise was truly a great undertaking for the Cajon Company, but you had the determination and energy that spring from the "loss of home" staring you in the face At the close of Mr. McFadden's address he introduced Stephen M. White Esq., of Los Angeles, as the orator of the day. The audience settled themselves in comfortable attitudes and prepared to enjoy the oratoryical feast which they knew was in store for them. Mr. White is possessed of a clear, resonant and sonorous voice, and a style of elocution at once original and pleasing. He was evidently "i' the vein," and his well-rounded sentences and graceful periods were listened to with unmistakable relish and pleasure by the intelligent audience. He began by stating that when the invitation to deliver this address was tendered him he was disposed to decline, owing to the fact that pressure of other business and brevity of time necessarily prohibited adequate preparation. But when the request was pressed he determined that if those who had always extended to him the hand of friendship desired to meet and greet him on the scene of their labors, he would willingly accede to their solicitation. After this Mr. White proceeded to describe the many difficulties which had to be encountered and overcome before the consumption of the enterprise; what sacrifices had to be made, and what untiring energy was expended in pursuit of the desired object. People who have befriended us and given us their counsel and assistance. To The Yotas we owe a great debt of gratitude. For more than a year our men have been swarming over their ranchos, destroying timber and injuring it in various ways, but these noble men never murmured or made complaint. Few men would silently endure what they have, and the Company will hold them ever in kinny remembrance.* Our sincere thanks are also due to the merchants of Anaheim, who have done everything in their power to help us. They have stood by us nobly, furnishing us with supplies at low rates, and waiting uncomplainingly for their money. To Mr. Sullert, the cashier of the Bank of Anaheim, we owe much. In the hour of need he came to our assistance and advanced money, having faith in our work; and to his timely help is due in no small degree the early completion of our enterprise. If Mr. Shanklin was here to day, I would not speak of him as I now propose to do. You have all heard his letter, but with characteristic modesty and manliness he does not allow to die great sacrifices which he himself has made in order to complete this great undertaking. To Mr. Shanklin, above all others, this county is indebted for the inauguration and carrying out of this email. Let me tell you what he has done. He paid $3500 in taxes levied by the District Commissioners under the Bish Law. When this work under that law ceased, he waited until his patience became exhausted, and then proposed to incorporate a company and complete the work which had been abandoned. He took $5000 worth of stock, and leaned the company $4000; more money was wanted and he advanced $6000; again funds can short and he furnished an additional $5000; and subsequently he furnished at various times further amount of $9000, making a grand total of $27,000 which this one man advanced to enable this enterprise to be carried on. It is true he owns a large body of land which is made valuable by this ditch, but it is a question whether it is worth the amount of money which he advanced to the Company. He has put in more than one-half all the money that has been expended in constructing the ditch, and I think that I am justified in directing public attention to his munificence. At the close of Mr. McFadden's address he introduced Stephen M. White Esq., of Los Angeles, as the orator of the day. The audience settled themselves in comfortable attitudes and prepared to enjoy the oratoryical feast which they knew was in store for them. Mr. White is possessed of a clear, resonant and sonorous voice, and a style of elocution at once original and pleasing. He was evidently "i' the vein," and his well-rounded sentences and graceful periods were listened to with unmistakable relish and pleasure by the intelligent audience. He began by stating that when the invitation to deliver this address was tendered him he was disposed to decline, owing to the fact that pressure of other business and brevity of time necessarily prohibited adequate preparation. But when the request was pressed he determined that if those who had always extended to him the hand of friendship desired to meet and greet him on the scene of their labors, he would willingly accede to their solicitation. After this Mr. White proceeded to describe the many difficulties which had to be encountered and overcome before consuming the enterprise; what sacrifices had to be made, and what untiring energy was expended in pursuit of the desired object. The address was delivered without notes, and was entirely an off-hand effort. Theodore Lynill Esq. was next introduced and was received with marks of favor.

This enterprise was truly a great undertaking for the Cajon Company, but you had determinedinationandenergythatspringfromthe"loss-ofhome"staringyouInTheFaceOfIrrigationWorksProjectedAndNecessaryForTheFullDevelopmentOfTheAgriculturalCapacityOrResourcesOfTheSectionOfTheLosAngelesCounty. This enterprise was truly a great undertaking for words bade them welcome. He then read the following letter which had been received from Mr. J. W. Shanklin, the President of the Cajon Irrigation Company, who was unable to be present: Trastees of the Cajon Irrigation Co. GENTLEMEN:—I congratulate you upon the completion of the main canal in the system of irrigation works projected and necessary for the full development of the agricultural capacity or resources of your section of Los Angeles county. This enterprise was truly a great undertaking for the Cajon Company, but you had the determination and energy that spring from the "loss of home" staring you in the face unless this canal could be completed. Though failure has often threatened your work, your courage has never flagged, and thanks to the people of Anaheim who came to your assistance in the hour of need you are to-day rejoicing equally with them that the silver stream of the Santa Ana river now winds along its bluffs for over fourteen miles, and brings within its fruitful influence over ten thousand acres of as rich and valuable agricultural land as Los Angeles county can boast. This watery element to-day brings to you tears of joy instead of sadness, with hopes of golden harvests in the near future reduced to a certainty. I would gladly to-day have been at your barbecue beneath the great flume to rejoice with you, but cannot, for I have known your labors and necessities since you begun the work and before, and well know the dangers that threatened the whole neighborhood by those who should have been its friends. Cheerfully therefore have I contributed what I could to aid you, and with thankfulness of heart I rejoice with you on the completion of your labors, and thank the people of Anaheim for their timely assistance which prevented the Cajon Company from finding their last ditch as was predicted by certain knowing ones of San Francisco. I trust the event which you this day celebrate may be the beginning of renewed prosperity for Anaheim and vicinity, and that the two companies who own the canal may long dispense its waters to the thirsty plains, making them blossom as the rose with fruitful farms and happy homes. Yours truly, J. W. SHANKLIN. After reading this letter, Mr. McFadden said that it had been suggested that it would be proper for him to give a brief history of the Cajon ditch. He said: Three years ago the Superintendent of Irrigation petitioned the Board of Supervisors to order an election, under the Bush Irrigation Law, at which the question of building a ditch should be submitted to the people of this district. The petition was granted; the election was held, and the result was that a large majority voted in favor of building a decline, owing to the fact that pressure of other business and brevity of time necessarily prohibited adequate preparation. But when the request was pressed he determined that if those who had always extended to him the hand of friendship desired to meet and greet him on the scene of their labors, he would willingly accede to their solicitation. After this Mr. White proceeded to describe the many difficulties which had to be encountered and overcome before the consummation of the enterprise; what sacrifices had to be made, and what untiring energy was expended in pursuit of the desired object. The agricultural interests of the county and of the section in immediate proximity to the ditch were here discussed. It was shown that lands, heretofore regarded as worthless, would by virtue of present improvements he converted into prolific sources of wealth. Where one man now earned a scanty subsistence a hundred would dwell in abundance. What ever benefited the farmer added to the glory of all. The common supposition that the life of the agriculturist is all pleasure, contentment and ease has no foundation in fact. He has his trials and his troubles. The recompense he realizes for his tool is controlled by the great grain markets of the world. He cannot, as may the merchant or professional man, dictate the reward of his exertions. He is subject to the executions of corporate power; and if, unfortunately, he falls into the ice grasp of the mortgages it is not improbable that he will live to see the family hearthstone desolate and no covering for his wife and children save the canopy of heaven. The speaker then proceeded to demonstrate that it is for the interest of communities and of governments to protect agricultural interests and to foster all enterprises which will aid the farmer in achieving pecuniary independence. That the only reason that there exists so many prosperous farmers in our State is because of their unfinishing energy and ceaseless efforts. Their services to the State are admitted; no one dares to charge them with corruption, and the ballot of a farmer is proverbially an honest vote. From this the conclusion was drawn that the completion of the work in question should be hailed as a general blessing. The orator next proceeded to prove that paid a graceful compliment to the ladies, and said that to them was due no small amount of praise for the encouragement they had bestowed on the enterprise over which they were now rejoicing. The speaker boldly declared himself in favor of woman suffrage, and believed that the future greatness and prosperity of our country greatly depends on the speedy enfranchisement of women. He urged his point with great earnestness and force, and if he made no converts to his peculiar notion he at least impressed his hearers with the conviction that he meant what he said. This closed the literary exercises, and about 2.30 p.m. the platform was cleared for dancing, which was kept up until the drooping sun gave warning of approaching darkness. Not a single unpleasant incident occurred to mar the general harmony, and the stream of enjoyment seemed to run as smoothly and pleasantly as did the "saving waters" in the flume above the merry-making throng. —The Los Angeles Star of Sunday has the following: We yesterday had the pleasure of witnessing at the Synagogue on Fort street, the Bar Mitzvah of Emanuel Davis, the son P. Davis of Anaheim. The ceremonies were interesting and very impressive. The Rabbi made a brief address to the boy, explaining the obligations, moral and religious, which he was about to accept on becoming a member of the Israelitish congregation. These obligations embraced his duties to his parents, his fellow men, and to God. Next, the boy stepped forward and in a beautiful speech expressed his gratitude to his parents for their kindness to him—thanking them for all their kind instruction. The delivery was clear and impressive, affecting many of the congregation and especially the parents, to tears. The members of the congregation, including the father and mother, then stepped forward, took him by the hand, and congratulated him. The ceremony was concluded by the Rabbi presenting him with a finely engraved certificate of membership. The boy was next made the happy recipient of numerous valuable presents from his parents, relatives and friends. The relatives and a few friends gathered at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Davis on Sunday evening, to celebrate the confirmation of their son. The young man delivered his confirmation address in a highly creditable manner. His parents, as well as his preceptor, may well feel proud of so apt a scholar. GAZETTE. NOBER 23, 1878. HYMEN'S CARAVAN SARIES. Hotels in Which Bridal Parties spend the Honeymoon. [New York Sun.] The practice of newly-wedded couples going to a hotel immediately after the marriage ceremony has become so common as to have almost superceded the old-time wedding tour. Nowadays a public marriagd in upper New York is not considered complete until the couple have been driven to the nearest fashionable hotel, and have passed at least a week within its walls. This is especially true of what are known as evening weddings—those held in some notable churches, and followed by a crowded reception in the bride's home. After the last congratulations have been exchanged, the bride and bridesgroom thread their way through the throng of black-attired men and bejeweled ladies under the arched way, which the thoughtful master of the ceremonies has provided, until they reach their coach. In hanging the door the head usher takes care to utter in a stage whisper. "Drive to the Pennsylvania depot," or the 'Grand Central,' as the case may be, and the throng return, imagining that the honeymoon is to be spent in Philadelphia or Boston. The carriage has gone hardly a block before down goes the window, and the driver reina in his horses as he hears: "Where did they tell you to go?" "To the Pennsylvania depot, sorr." "Pennsylvania depot! Pshaw! Drive to the Buckingham." And to the Buckingham they are whirled accordingly. For years this clever little deception has been practised by young bridal couples, without any one except the proprietors and the coachmen being in the secret. Of late, however, the practice has become popular and so widely known that the affection of a wedding journey is only kept up for the sake of appearances. "Philadelphia' and "Boston," in the vocabulary of Hymen, have come to mean "Windor" and "Buckingham." THE BOYS AND THE APPLES. A Problem that Demands the Attention of Scientists. Now when the autumn was come it was so that the land of Barlington and the country round about abounded with much apples, so that the sound of the elder press ceases not from morning, even unto the night. And in the morning the husbandman areas, and he said, Go to, apples is not worth much but so much as they will fetch I will haw. And he laded up his wagon, and filled its bed even to overflowing with bell flowers and neck-no-fartbors and duchesses and spitzbergens and snow apples and russets, each after his kind. And when he was come nigh to the town, lo three town boys met him and spoke unto him delicately and said, Give us a napple. And his heart was moved with good nature and he heartened unto their words and said unto them, Yea, climb in, and eat your fill. And as he journeyed on he met yet two other boys. And they waxed bold when they saw the first three riding and eating apples, and they cried aloud, Give us snapple. And the man spake unto them and said yes. And they cloined in. And they spake not one to another, neither did they cease to eat apples, save when they paused that they might take breath. And the husbandman made merry and langued with himself to see them eat, and he said: Ho, ho; Ho, ho. But the lads lagged not for they were busy. Now the eldest of the lads was thirteen years old, and the youngest thereof was in his ninth year. And they were exceeding lean and all favored. And when the husbandman was entered into the city he drove along the streets and lifted up his voice and shouted aloud, Applal! Applal! Here's yer nighscationapples! Applals! Applals! And the women of the city leaned over fence and said, one to another. Lo another. Esq. was next introduced with marks of favor. Mr. Murray of rapid utterance and of language, and his short occasion was in admirable enforced his address by renouncing the language of Breckenridge, an exploded volcano, the Stephen M. White Esq., fully exhausted the subject taught this character of celebrities encouraged than that created victories on the field so, such as the completion under discussion, required to ensure success as had left none of the hard work they incurred to the bennature from whom they were not disturbed by recollections of the wounded and dying. They promoted the welfare of all and injured all forth all the nobler qualities awakening his savage bereeminently noble works, his best attributes and tenderness to the level of the great image he was created. This also impressed upon all union. Without unity success; with it no failure. Rise could be carried out as this, which has for its object of the hitherto unproven a valley teeming with vegetable wealth. Excluded by saying that barhis opinion, more for the kind dance, than long speeches, so practice unity in their work, when success and attend them. A next made an address in old gentleman is quite an gesiculation and distinct from the close of his speech M. was introduced by Mr. Methe Seven who originated on Company. Mr. Wicks attention of making a speech; he him—one of the commiterises—to do so. Never a few pointed and pithy revery well received. He complement to the ladies, and was due no small amount encouragement they had enterprise over which they sing. The speaker boldly defavor of woman suffrage, and the future greatness and country greatly depends on achievement of women. He with great earnestness and skills no converts to his pea- least impressed his hearers on that he meant what he Where did they tell you to go? To the Pennsylvania depot, sorry. Pennsylvania depot: Pshaw! Drive to the Buckingham." And to the Buckingham they are whirled accordingly. For years this little deception has been practised by young bridal couples, without any one except the proprietors and the coachmen being in the secret. Of late, however, the practice has become popular and so widely known that the affectation of a wedding journey is only kept up for the sake of appearances. Philadelphia and "Boston," in the vocabulary of Hymen, have come to mean "Windsor" and "Buckingham." The extent to which the "hotel honey-moon" has waxed and waned during the past autumn exceeds anything ever before known. Every evening carriages containing young men and maidens newly mated are driven to the ladies' entrance of these two houses, and the parlors and corridors are filled with the flash of glittering toiletts and the music of merry voices. One of the proprietors assured a reporter in strict confidence yesterday that they were fairly overrun with wedding parties, all desiring the richest and the most elaborately furnished apartments, without regard to previous engagements, or present needs. The bridal suites proper of the Buckingham, although limited in number, are elegantly and tastefully furnished. The floors are covered with the richest of Turkey carpets; the ceilings are frescoed in the most elaborate style, presenting beautiful contrasts of shade and color; the walls are literally covered with paintings and engravings, and the furniture, in blue and gold, is arranged with the taste of an artist. Marble mantel-pieces are adorned with antique bronzes, alternating with elegant whatnot loaded with costly bric-a-brac. Polished mirrors reflect the golden tint of the walls, mingled with the richer sunlight stealing through the partly-closed windows. The subdued hum of traffic in the street alone breaks the stillness. "It almost tempts one to get married," the host remarks with a smile. Then he adds, in a quiet matter-of-fact way: "This suite was vacated only yesterday by a young couple from Madison avenue. A wedding party from Brooklyn have engaged them by telegraph, and will be here to night." Passing from the drawing-room to a dainty boudoir, in which everything that the most exacting taste could demand is supplied in abundance, the door of the bedroom is opened. The bedstead, exquisitely carved in natural wood, with high arched back and low foot boards in graceful moulding, stand in the centre of the floor. The marble-topped lavatories, the bath, the paintings and pictures, and the heavy cut glass chandelier are characterized by the same degree of elegance and refinement. "This is only one of the number of suites. There are others which I might show you were they not occupied." Concerning the habits of their newly wedded guests, the hotel proprietors say very little. Pascal couples order their meals in their rooms; others boldly face the leveiled stares of the dining room. When there are from half a dozen to a dozen couples in the house at the same time they become emboldened, and act as unconcernedly as the guests of maturer years. Where the couple are young and handsome they receive more or less attention, widows and widowers newly matned being left almost entirely to themselves. When an old gentleman of 70 years appears, as is now frequently the case, with a blooming young wife of 45 or 50 years his junior, there is quiet amusement all around. In the Windsor, where there are not only wedding couples but weddings also, this sight is not infrequent. "And their appetites? Do they eat heartily?" when they paused that they might take breath. And the husbandman made merry and laughed with himself to see then eat, and he said: Ho; ho; Ho, ho. But the lads laughed not for they were busy. Now the eldest of the lads was thirteen years old, and the youngest thereof was in ninth year. And they were exceeding lean and all favored. And when the husbandman was entered into the city he drove along the streets and lifted up his voice and shouted aloud. Appalus! Here's yer nighsatinnapplest Appalus! Appalus! And the women of the city leaned over fences and said, one to another, Lo, another rapple wagin. And they spake unto the man and said, Haist thou of a verity eatinpplies? And he said, Of a verity I have. Come forth. And when they were come forth they looked into his wagon, and they were wrath and cried out against him. And they said, Thon hast knocked us and thou hast deceived three hand maidens with the words of thy month. Verily thou has naught; wherefore then dost thou drive through the city crying Appalus? And when he had turned him around and looked he was speechless. And the women of the city cried, Go ta; are not thy words altogether lighter than vanity! And he smoke upon his breast and aware unto them, saying, I am a truthful man and son of a truthful man. When thy servant left home this morning there was even thirty-seven bushels of apples in the wagon bed. Now there was in the wagon naught save five toys. Neither was there so much as one small apple. And the husbandman necked the lads and entrusted them roughly, for he said, What is it ye have done? For ye have cast my apples into the street. But the lads wept bitterly and said, Nay, not sp. Are thy servants pigs that they should do such a thing? And he said, Declare unto me, then, what thou hast done with my apples. And the lads pointed to each other, even each one unto hisellow, and they wept and exclaimed with one accord. He cat'enm. And the husbandman was wroth and would not believe them. For he wast not that the town boy was hollow clear into the ground. But the women of the city cried unto him and said, How far is it the lads have ridden with these? And he said even as far as a mile and a half. And the women laughed and made merry,and said, Of a surety it is even so as the lads have said. They have eaten up all the apples. And they made light of it as though it had been a very small thing for the lads to do. And the husbandman marveled greatly within himself, for the five lads did not fill one small end of the wagon. And it was so that it was beyond his finding out, where the thirty-seven bushels of apples had stowed themselves. So he turned him about and drove home,and he commanded the lads that they follow him not. And they hooted at him and cast stones after him even unto the city gates;for such is the custom and manner of the town boy. But the husbandman spake not unto them,nother reproved he them; for his mind was heavy with thinking of this wonderful thing he had seen.- Hawkeye. the literary exercises, and the platform was cleared for as kept up until the drooping of approaching dark circle unpleasant incident oceans general harmony, and the event seemed to run as smooth as did the "saving waters" be the merry-making throng. "And their appetites? Do they eat heartily?" "Well, not as a rule; at least some of the brides don't. They have a notion it isn't delicate at that interesting season to show too much partiality for the table. I've known them, however, to order hearty lunches in their rooms after quitting the dining room without taking enough for a caulary bird. The husbands generally have good appetites and don't seem to mind it." "Do they go out much—to church, theatre, and that sort of thing?" "Bless you, no. I don't think one couple in six go out of the house, except for a drive in the park or something of that kind, while they're here. They're terribly devoted to each other, especially the younger ones. To see them wrap each others in shawls and overcoats and all that, saying all the time, 'Are you quite warm love?' Are you sure you're wrapped up, darling?—It's enough to make a man feel soft himself, you know. They're romantic enough while it lasts. Everybody likes them and sympathizes with them. I've seen the tears come in an old bachelor's eyes looking at them." "And how long does it last?" "Well, it's different with different persons. Some go away after a week and some stay six. They usually take a run down to Philadelphia or Washington or Niagara and let the old folks think they've been at those places all the time." On a recent Sunday the Rev. Mr. Trew referred to the financial condition of St. Michael's Church. On his arrival here, Nov. 17th 1877, he was informed that the debt on the building was $490, with interest which would swell the amount at the present date to $580. The debt however is now only $418. In other words all current expenses have been met, the interest has been paid, and the principal reduced by $72. Considering the great depression o the past year, and that no special efforts were made, the statement is an encouraging one and "a hearty pull all together" ought to clear away the remaining debt. The Yellow Fever Commission. MEMPHIS, Nov. 15.—The members of the National Yellow Fever Commission departed last night for Richmond, Virginia. In their report to be made they advocate a system of national quarantine under the direction of the United States Government. The Commissioners are convinced from their investigation that the yellow fever is not indigenous in the atmosphere in any part of the United States, and that in New Orleans it was caused by importation. Whatever doubt there may be in the case of New Orleans, there is no doubt but that it was carried from New Orleans to every other point. The disease does not seem to be prevented from prevailing epidemically, either, by distance from the sea level, as under favorable circumstances for its dissemination it might prevail in any part of the United States. Here to face seaboard quarantines, as far as the Gulf of Mexico is concerned, and making exceptions this year in the case of Texas, have been inadequate to prevent the introduction of disease. The difficulty of land quarantines are so many and so great in the cases of towns having extensive railroad connection, as to make it almost practically impossible. With this view of the facts the Commission are of the opinion that in only reasonable protection to keep the yellow fever from this country is a system of strict national quarantine. The ellewis is so much rought after my visitors to Switzerland that its entire disappearance in some districts is only a question of time. To prevent so undesirable a result, so far as Gpwalden is concerned, the authorities of that canton have forbidden the uprooting of the plant (not the taking of the flower) under a penalty of 50 francs for each offence.
