The great advance in the price of California wine is one of the gratifying features of the year; and there is ample evidence that the rise in price is not spasmodic or temporary, but is likely to continue. There are two causes to which must be ascribed the increased value of our wines. The first is the rapidly decreasing area of vineyards in France, brought about by the destructiveness of the phyllogera. We read accounts of whole districts being decimated by the pest, but in no instance do we hear of the ruined vineyards being replanted. So complete and rapid is the work of destruction that the people of the ruined districts seem to have given up all idea of replanting. The second cause of the rise in California wines is the increased demand for them in the Atlantic States. That this demand will continue there is no reason to doubt, as when once the popular tide is turned in any direction, it is next to impossible to stem the current. Not only that, but, having once The second cause of the rise in California wines is the increased demand for them in the Atlantic States. That this demand will continue there is no reason to doubt, as when once the popular tide is turned in any direction, it is next to impossible to stem the current. Not only that, but, having once become familiar with pure California wine, it will be impossible for the adulterated foreign article ever to regain its lost prestige. Wine dealers and growers on this Coast have long known that it was only a question of time when the purity and superiority of native wine would be recognized by the public; and now that it is placed fairly before the people in the populous Atlantic States its merits will secure for it the place long occupied by French and other foreign wines. It is evident that the French people recognize the fact that California is its most formidable rival in vintage, and that they are not disposed to underrate our importance, as the following extract from a French paper will show: The yield of the California vineyards for 1875 was about 8,000,000 gallons. That State has vinicultural land enough to make as much wine as France, Germany, Hungary and Spain combined could produce; and there is no doubt among those who have given the subject the closest study, that California will in some future time outrank every other wine-growing region in the world. The foothills of that State, which are held at one-tenth the price of land in France, have a vast productive capacity, and seldom fail to produce a good crop. The quality of our wines, too, will greatly improve. The older the vines are, the better wines do the grapes make. Not only that, but here in Anaheim (and, we presume, elsewhere), better varieties of grapes are coming into bearing every year. The Mission grape has no superior for general use, but there are varieties of grapes which are better for producing certain classes of wine. The Zinfandel grape, for claret wine, is an instance in point. Most newspaper readers have heard more or less of the "Skirmishing Fund" a collection of money (now amounting to about $75,000) contributed by Irishmen throughout the world to be used in "freezing Ireland from the yoke of England." This is to be accomplished, not by the customary modes of warfare, but by the use of dynamite, and other destructive, murderous means. There is no secret about it; it is boldly avowed week after week in the Irish World, whose editor is one of the custodians of the fund. Mr. Peter O'Reilly of Hoboken, writes a letter to the above paper in which the following paragraph appears: "As a subscriber to the Skirmishing Fund, I know a good Irishman, skilled in dynamite and kindred compositions, who, with $1,000, can, and will, blow the House of Commons sky high. He has accounted of whole districts being decimated by the pest, but in no instance do we hear of the ruined vineyards being replanted.

There is no secret about it; it is boldly avowed week after week in the Irish World, whose editor is one of the custodians of the fund.

He has crossed the Atlantic five times, is well posted, willing to die, and confident he can work undetected. I knew him all my life, and would stake my existence on his word." We fancy that the cheeks of many a loyal Irishman will burn with shame at the thought that indiscriminate murder and arson are the means by which it is proposed to place "the green above the red." The "body-snatching" epidemic has been carried to such an extent in the Atlantic States recently that cemeteries in the more important cities are nightly guarded by a patrol of men and not unfrequently watchmen are paid to guard the private vaults. A Philadelphia manufacturer, T. H. Powers, died recently, and his widow is so fearful that his remains will be disturbed that she has employed four men to watch the grave—two at night and two in the day time—and this guard is to be kept up for two years. To the tombstone will be attached a key to a watch locked in a case that the men will carry. This watch must have the key at the grave inserted into it every half hour, and will be inspected twice a day to see that it has been carried to the grave at frequent intervals. Official reports show that month by month the excess of our exports over imports grows larger. The number of manufactured articles which we formerly imported, but with which we now supply ourselves if we do not indeed export them, is considerable. It is pertinently suggested that the census to be taken in 1880, and tor which provision will probably be made during the present session of Congress, should be made as full as possible on the subject of our productions of all kinds. The expense will not be very great, but, even if it were, extended sales to the people of other countries would a thousand times return the money so expended. A remarkable case of gluttony is reported by a Vergennes correspondent of the Burlington Free Press. A wager was laid between Wm. Laduke and Messrs. Fortin and Labombard as follows: Inside of ten hours Laduke was to put himself outside of the following bill of fare at the Hotel de Fortin, in the presence of Peter Labombard, viz.: Two pounds of pork steak, four large potatoes, one-half a pie, two slices of bread, each one and a quarter inches in thickness, quarter of a pound of butter, drink two cups of tea, and eat one-half a bushel of apples. Amount of wager, $3. Laduke completed his task within the specified time, and had half an hour to spare. When he began he weighed 145 pounds, and when he completed he weighed 153 pounds, showing a gain of eight pounds. He says he felt no inconvenience from thus gorging himself, ANECDOTES of Heller, the magician, lately deceased, are floating around the press. Theatre-goers will remember that his most famous trick was one in which his sister assisted. She would sit blindfolded, with her back to him and the audience, and describe objects handed to him as he passed up and down the assles of the auditorium. He was often pestered to explain how this was done, which he good-naturedly did in this way: "If supernatural vision is based upon mesmeric hallucination, wherein the real and the unreal, hand in hand, so closely approached each other that our distinguishment is absolutely futilized, we have no hope of enlightenment other than that which might have been, perhaps ought, and yet couldn't, without verging upon that bourne from which no traveller returns." The Cincinnati brewers have found it necessary to combine against the demands of the German singing societies, clubs, lodges, churches and other organizations of that city. The calls upon them from these quarters for contributions of beer and the purchase of tickets on the occasion of anniversaries, picnics and fetes had grown, they say, to be entirely intolerable, and since to refuse in some cases would have given offense, they determined to combine and refuse in all instances. The larger breweries found this tax on their resources to amount to $8,000 or $10,000 a year each. A remarkable case of gluttony is reported by a Vergennes correspondent of the Burlington Free Press.

EDITOR GAZETTE:—A few days ago I visited this wonderful place in the foot hills of the Sierra Madre Mountains, and as I took some notes I thought I would give them to you in the form of a letter. The Sierra Madre Villa Hotel is located at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains in Los Angeles county, twelve miles from Los Angeles city, and about four miles north of San Gabriel Mission. It is eighteen hundred feet above the Pacific Ocean and distant therefrom about twenty miles. In January 1875 Mr. William Cogswell, of New York, bought five hundred acres of land embracing the present site of the villa for fifteen dollars per acre, and paid Mr. J. C. Davis $5,000 for a half interest in a small stream of water which issues from a canon of the mountains just back of the hotel. The land where the improvements now stand, was at that time covered with greasewood brush; it was in fact a howling wilderness and presented the most uninviting appearance, and many formidable obstacles had to be overcome. Days were spent in building a road, to which the buildings were constructed. When I looked around upon the elegant grounds which had been brought to such a high state of cultivation, and which now literally blossomed as the rose, I could scarcely realize that this great change had been wrought in the short space of three years. THE SUPPLY OF WATER. Is obtained from a small stream which comes leaping and gurgling down the canyon about a mile north of the villa; its source are everlasting springs, far up in the mountains; its quality, as may be readily supposed, is excellent and its quantity is abundant for all practical purposes. Just above the point at which the water is diverted from its natural bed in the canyon, is a beautiful little cascade with a fall of some thirty feet. Here the banks of the canyon are precipitous and rise to a height of perhaps one hundred feet, while that portion of them which comes in contact with the water is a mass of solid rock covered with moss, with here and there a cluster of delicate maiden-hair ferns. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10.—C. N. West, a canvasser of the Rural Press, recently eloped with the whole family of John Rupe, farmer of San Juan South, consisting of his wife, two boys, aged 8 and 10 respectively and a pair of twins. He also included in his hand a lot of bed clothing and seventy-five dollars belonging to Rupe. West came here with his managerie; and, on complaint of Rupe, who wants his bed clothes and money, the wholesale cloper was arrested to-day and locked up. COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. 10.—Gov. Hampton's leg was amputated to-day below the knee. His immediate friends say his condition is not dangerous. The Legislature has elected Gov. Hampton to the United States Senate. The vote in the Senate was unanimous. The House, with two exceptions, voted for Hampton. The exceptions were Miller and Simmons, colored members from Beauford, who voted for Mackey. WILMINGTON, (Del.), December 9.—Geo. Draper, colored, convicted of murder in the second degree, was sentenced to-day to a fine of $10,000, to stand one hour in pillory, receive sixty lashes and be imprisoned for life. NEW YORK, December 9.—Heller's will was admitted to probate to-day. He directs that all secret apparatus and mechanical devices appertaining to his business be destroyed and beaten out of shape, so that no one may have the benefit of his brains after his death. SPRINGFIELD, O., Nov. 15.—Robert Mitchell, a wealthy farmer, who lives north of this city, was to-day riding a favorite black horse. While crossing a bridge the horse became frightened at some loose planks, reared and threw his rider on his head, breaking his neck. The horse returned to his master's home and by his conduct alarmed the family who followed him to where Mr. Mitchell lay dead. Paris paper: How beautiful is science!

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT IN PURSUANCE of an order of the Probate Court of the County of Alameda, State of California, made on the 14th day of October, 1878, in the matter of the estate of Henry Jansen, deceased, the undersigned, the administrator, A. P. Larentzen, will sell at public auction to the highest bidder, for cash in U.S. Gold Coin, and subject to confirmation by said Probate Court, SATURDAY, the 4th day of January, 1879, at 10 o'clock A.M., at the town of Orange, in the county of Los Angeles, all the right, title, interest and estate of the said Henry Jansen at the time of his death, and all the right, title and interest that the said estate has, by operation of law or otherwise, acquired other than or in addition to that of the said Henry Jansen at the time of his death, in and to all that certain lot, piece or parcel of land situate lying and being in the said county of Los Angeles, State of California, and bounded and described as follows: to-wit: The fourth half of lot fifteen (15) in block E., as surveyed by E.R. Nichols in A.D. 1871; said land being near the E.R. Nichols in A.D. 1871; said land being near the E.R. Nichols in A.D. 1871; said land being near the E.R.

Just above the point at which the water is diverted from its natural bed in the canyon, is a beautiful little cascade with a fall of some thirty feet. Here the banks of the canyon are precipitous and rise to a height of perhaps one hundred feet, while that portion of them which comes in contact with the water is a mass of solid rock covered with moss, with here and there a cluster of delicate maiden-hair ferns. I cannot find words adequate to express my admiration of this lovely little spot; so I will make use of an expression which some of my lady friends occasionally employ under similar circumstances, and will content myself by saying, "it was charming." From here the water is conducted by means of a wooden trough to a reservoir near the villa, and from there distributed through iron pipes over the grounds for purposes of irrigation. The system of irrigation here employed is by means of iron pipes and long-rubber hose, and is superior to anything of the kind I had ever seen before, and dispenses with the necessity of plowing the grounds more than once in a season. The water is also utilized in manufacturing gas, with which each room in the house is supplied. THE GROUNDS Are tastily laid out in flower beds, bordered with blue grass soil, and studded with ornamented trees of different varieties. Just beyond the flower beds and immediately in front of the hotel is an orange orchard of some 15 acres, which contains some of the thriftiest trees I have ever seen. They are three years old, Konah buds, on two year-old lemon stocks. Some of these trees have as many as a thousand oranges on them. There is a vineyard of Muscat grapes on the place, which is never irrigated and looks well. THE BUILDINGS Consist of a large two-story frame house, which is divided into suits of rooms elegantly furnished with solid walnut furniture. The floors are covered with rich carpets and the rooms are fitted up with all modern conveniences. THE LADIES’ PAELOR Is in a separate building, and is supplied with a piano and billiard table, and furnished without regard to cost. The dining hall is a large, spacious room in an adjoining building, the upper story of which is occupied by the lessee’s family. These three buildings are connected by a porch, and standing on this porch in the rosy dawn, to watch the sun rise, seeing the light and shadow as it fitted from point to point on the side of the sombre mountains, turning to look out upon the valley below, at the peaceful homes, the Old Mission, Wilmington, Santa Catalina and the ocean beyond. I saw a sight which I shall not attempt to describe, but will leave you to paint in the vivid colors of your own imagination. I cannot close my letter without alluding to the kindly greeting and friendly hospitality extended to us by Mr. W. P. Rhoades, the lessee and proprietor of the villa. Mr. Rhoades is a son-in-law to Mr. Cogswell, and a more genial, kind-hearted gentleman it has not been my pleasure to meet for lo! these many days. And all the harm I wish him is that he may live to the ripe old age which his grandmother attained, to wit: 104 years. San Francisco Markets. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

George Henry Lewes, the so-called husband of "George Eliot," the famous novelist, is dead. The connection of the great writer with Mr. Lewes was the one blur upon that lady's fame that she never could, nor did she ever try to make society forget or gloss over. From the time she entered into it—the she never married Lewes, but coolly went to live with him, in accordance with some eccentric notions she had formed—society shut its doors upon the greatest female writer of modern times. It is to George Eliot's credit, however, that she never resented the verdict. She accepted it and suffered the penalty of her eccentricity to the end. The man is now dead, but it is doubtful if the woman's social condition will be in the least changed. Grand Ball, NEW YEAR'S EVE, December 31st.
