WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... JANUARY 28, 1879. AGENDS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette at the place designated.

It is a matter of some importance that the cultivation of olive trees has received but little attention in Southern California hereafter. While thousands of acres of orange orchards have been planted in this county in the past five years, it is probable that not more than one hundred acres in the aggregate have been planted in olives—a fruit in such great demand that a high authority says that this State pays more every year for the products of the olive tree imported from foreign countries than it does for the combined productions of the orange and lemon trees. The neglect of this tree, however, may be ascribed to the insufficiency of its value which until lately prevailed. As we have had previous occasion to remark, new settlers have come here thoroughly enthused with orange culture, and as soon as they had secured their land every spare rod of it was at once planted in orange trees. The olive has been neglected because comparatively little has been said in the press about it, and newcomers were unaware of its adaptability and value. But there is no doubt that hereafter, in planning out his orchard, the settler will accord to the olive as large a share of space as to any other tree. The olive is one of the most hardly trees that can be planted. Five years ago, Mr. Miles planted a lot of cuttings on his land north of Anaheim, and for the past four years they have not received the slightest care or attention. But they are now large, handsome trees, only showing the lack of cultivation in a meagre production of fruit. At about the same time Mr. E. S. Saxton planted some New Senators. Matt H. Carpenter has been elected to the U.S. Senate by the Wisconsin Legislature. The Legislature of North Carolina has elected Gov. Z. B. Vance U. S. Senator. The New York Legislature has re-elected Senator Conkling. The vote stood—Senate: Conkling, 26; Dornhamer, 12. Assembly: Conkling, 35; Dorsheimer, 22; Peter Cooper, 2. James Shields and G. G. Veat have been elected Senator from Mississippi—the former for the short term. John A. Legan has been elected Senator by the Illinois Legislature, by six majority. Connection's new Senator is Orwill R. Platt. Vornhoe has been elected Senator from Indiana. Don Cameron has been re-elected by the Legislature of Pennsylvania. The Florida Legislature has elected Wilkinson Call for Senator to succeed Conover. The result of the Senatorial elections gives the next Senate forty-two Democrate, one Independent Democrat and thirty-three Republicans. The present Senate stands thirty-six Republicans, thirty-six Democrats and one Independent Democrat. Board of Supervisors. At the meeting of the Board on Monday the Clerk was directed to notify the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and the Southern Pacific Railroad Company that the Board will require a statement in detail of the receipts and the expenditures of the wharves at Wilmington and Newport, and the quantity of freight handled on said wharves during the year 1878, in accordance with the schedule adopted by the Board January 11th, 1878, and the action heretofore taken January 7th, 1879. In this matter, fixing the rates of dockage, wharfage and tolls, be further continued for consideration until Monday, February 3d, 1879, this action being taken under the advice of the District Attorney, and at the request of A. B. Chapman, attorney for the Southern Pacific Railway. The contract for printing the delinquent tax list was awarded to the Star, and the contract for building the Cahuenga Pass road to J. Mohan for $1,145. A MEETING of the Southern California Horse- been said in the press about it, and new comers were unaware of its adaptability and value. But there is no doubt that hereafter, in planning out his orchard, the settler will accord to the olive as large a share of space as to any other tree. The olive is one of the most hardly trees that can be planted. Five years ago, Mr. Miles planted a lot of cuttings on his land north of Anaheim, and for the past four years they have not received the slightest care or attention. But they are now large, handsome trees, only showing the lack of cultivation in a meagre production of fruit. At about the same time, Mr. E. S. Saxton planted some cuttings, and we have now on our table a jar of olives and a bottle of oil, the product of his trees. They bore their first crop at three years from planting. Mr. Kimball, of San Diego, who probably knows more about olive culture than any man in the State, writes to the Horticulturist that "olive trees three years from cuttings will pay all expenses for that year, the fourth year a hundred and fifty dollars per acre, the fifth year three hundred dollars per acre, and the sixth year five hundred dollars per acre." He bases these figures on the sale of the fruit, just as taken from the tree, at fifty cents per gallon, but says that by preparing the fruit for market the result will be double the above figures. The olive tree grows thriftily on poor soil. Dr. Ellis, of the Anaheim Sanatorium, tells us that in riding from Rindisi to Bologna, in Italy, a distance of thirty miles, he observed that the whole country was literally covered with olive trees, growing on land so rocky that but little soil was visible. And yet that is the great olive-producing region of Italy, and it is for the productions of these stony unfertile lands that American epicures pay at the rate of $3 or $4 per gallon. Authorities differ as to whether planting cuttings or trees is the best plan; but cuttings have the very decided merit of being cheaper. We hope the people of this county will give this subject of olive culture careful study. We think they will find it the most promising industry they can engage in. The short time to wait until the trees begin to bear, the enormous yield of even the very young trees, the ever-ready market, and the small cost of the appliances necessary to express the oil (if it is desired to go into that branch of the business) are allurements which, it is to be hoped, will lead many to engage in this hitherto sadly neglected pursuit. WHEN EVEK your legislator, or supervisor, or convention-maker, or councilman, wants to blow his reform trumpet and show his constituency what an eminently honest and economical servitor he is, his first (and generally his only) object of attack is the school department. He proposes a sweeping reduction in the salaries of public school teachers, and gets off a few windy remarks about the short hours of labor and absence of physical exertion enjoyed by ye pedagogue. A few months ago when the Auditor of the city and county of San Francisco was asked by the Supervisors for an opinion as to the best A MEETING of the Southern California Horticultural Society will be held at Riverside, San Bernardino Co., Wednesday and Thursday, February 12th and 13th, commencing at 10 a.m. of Wednesday. A free exhibition of oranges, lemons, limes and other semitropical fruits will be held on the evening of Wednesday, February 12. All interested in semi-tropical fruit-growing are invited to be present. The following subjects are suggested for discussion: Planting and Cultivation.—When is the best time to plant orange and lemon trees, and is it advantageous to plow and cultivate them more than sufficient to keep down weeds and grass? Irrigation of Semi-Tropical Fruit Trees.—Should irrigation be anything more than necessary to keep the orange and lemon trees in good growing condition, or is it better to stimulate their growth by liberal watering? Influence of Stock upon the Graft.—What influence if any has the stock upon the graft? Is the China lemon or lime a suitable stock upon which to graft the orange and lemon for standard orchard trees? Is the orange tree a suitable stock for the lemon? Frost.—Is there any difference in liability to frost between scelllings and budded orange and lemon trees? What is the experience of fruit growers as to the influence of late irrigation, cultivation and wind-breaks in protecting prehands from frost? Other Semi-Tropical Fruits and Plants.—What other fruits and plants can be profitably introduced into Southern California? In a note to the editor, the committee on correspondence say: If any of the friends at Anaheim or vicinity cannot be present but have semi-tropical fruits that they wish to place upon exhibition for comparison with fruits grown here, they can send by express to S. C. Evans, Riverside, and the express charges will be paid at Riverside. A report of the committee on fruit will be sent to each exhibitor. San Francisco Markets. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.

A few months ago when the Auditor of the city and county of San Francisco was asked by the Supervisors for an opinion as to the best plan of reducing the municipal expenses, he, with much deliberation, made an elaborate report recommending the reduction of teachers' salaries! That was the only recommendation contained in his report. And now comes one of the convention makers with a proposal to reduce the pay of the State School Superintendent. The proposal excited a great deal of acrimonious debate, and was finally defeated. It was proposed to allow the Superintendent $200 per month (a salary less than any other State official), and out of this sum he would have been required to pay his deputy or clerk. NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—The Times, in an article showing where New York gets its vegetables, says of green peas: A very few boxes were sent from the neighborhood of Sacramento, Cal., in salmon cars last year, but they were not good when they arrived, and as the result of repeated experiments California shippers no longer attempt to supply this city with any vegetables except canniflower. OMAHA, Jan. 22.—There is an oppressive glut of gold in this city, and bankers complain they cannot get rid of it, the people preferring currency and bringing gold back as soon as they can when forced to take it. The correspondent in charge of the Omaha National Bank has refused to pay expressare on balances, and it threatens to be an expensive article.

Ninety-six murderers were hanged in the United States during the past year, which is an increase of 13 compared with the previous year. All were men; 40 were white, 52 colored, 2 Indians and 1 Chinaman; 5 were hanged for outrage, 4 for wife murder, and 1 for filicide; there were 7 double executions, 4 triple, and 2 quadruple. More were hanged on Friday than all the other days combined, the number being 70, and 25 were hanged in March. The Southern States had 70 percent of all the hangings, and nearly two-thirds of the victims were negroes. In the list of States Texas comes first with 10 Louisiana 9, South Carolina 8, Alabama 8, North Carolina 8, Pennsylvania 6, Missouri 5, Georgia 5, Arkansas 4, Tennessee 4, California 4, New York 3, Kentucky, Montana, Delaware, Virginia, Ohio, Maryland, and Mississippi each 2; Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Indiana, Nevada, and Arizona each 1.

Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 8. People who have never lived in a large little know the phases of life to be daily there, and even if those who do live in it, if their daily walk and conversation is defined to respectable society, have but the idea of what is going on around them. Men and women whose days are spent in caring their own amusement and in contemplation of peace and plenty, know little the shifts and straits of those who barely get by their wits. And when a cold snap enon, like that through which we have passed, there are many strange distractions about them, and some very funny things to be seen as well. Warm clothing is demand at such a time, though there are city in every city who haven't got it. And when Old Boreas whistles around the mowers at such a terrific rate it is suggestive something to keep the inner man warm; there comes an increased desire for hot chick and tom and jerry, the aroma of each foam in a most tantalizing way from half open doors of sample rooms on every floor. The man who draws his deconter branch brandy and his fine old wines from well-filled cellar, knows nothing about the ages of the "old bunis" around town, who beat the barkeeper to get even on an e-opener." Good natured manipulator of the vinous fruits, who prides himself on being up to all tricks of the bumming fraternity, was none" by one of them the other morning in day that makes him hang his head in grief. While arranging the paraphernalia of the preparatory to the day's business, a modestly seedy barn appeared at the counter, in a business-like manner slapped on the bar, wherein was heard the jin-jin coin, and asked for a "beetle old rye." Being a drink which, in the parlance of the rights of the roads, would be denominated snorter," he raised his hand from the counter and disclosed a two-cent piece. "By go," exclaimed the hum, "I thought it a quarter!" at the same time fumbling his pocket for change that wasn't there. He look at the quiet smile lurking in the mirrors of his customer's mouth, and the ginger maker realized that he was sold, and as Convict Labor. The convention has substituted the criminal system of employing prison labor. Many penologists have opted that system, but not on the grounds taken in the Convention. It was there held that the employment of the convicts at all was objectifiable; for though the statement was not made in direct terms, this was supplied in the position that the results of prison industry ought not to be permitted to compete in the market with free labor. But if the convicts are not allowed to compete with free labor they must be undertaken in illicitness. And if they are able their keep must be paid for by the people. And if it is paid for by the people it must come out of the earnings of free labor. And if becomes out of the earnings of free labor in the shape of increased taxes, what do the people gain by refusing to let the convicts work? If they are to support themselves they must produce something that can be sold; for unproductive labor brings no returns in money, and therefore can keep nobody. But their productions cannot be sold without competing with somebody, and this must be the case whether their labor is farmed out to construction. The fundamental truth in this matter is that the community cannot愈强the necessity of supporting its convicts, and that if it does not do so directly it must do so indirectly. Sacramento Record-Union. England continues to be more and more dotted with magnificent rural abodes. During the past quarter of a century millions have been expended in building and restoring. A recent number of London Builders describes the rehabilitation of Doxford Hall, the seat of the Master of the Northumberland fox hounds. It is of white stone and stands on a terrace, partly belted by trees, and situated in a pastoral district, with the sea in the distance on one hand and the Cheviot Hills on the other. Already a large house, recent additions have quadrupled it. On the south front a conservatory, fernery, and orchard house have been erected before three of the drawing room windows. On the west front is a billiard room, with a bow window, and additionally lighted by the open timbered roof. This apartment is approached by a corridor 40 feet by 19. On the east front is a one-story wing of kitchen, built with open timbered roofs and furnished with hydraulic ranges, and joining these are a dairy, dairy scullery, game larder, plucking room, and bakery. A corridor leads thence to more offices, over which twenty additional bedrooms have been built, and beyond this again are laundries replete with every labor-saving convenience. The premises are entirely creditable and elaborate. NEW ADVERTISMENT. Notice. A DURERAS MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS IN THE Amheim Water Company Will be held on Saturday, Feb. 1, 1879, at 2 o'clock P.M., at the office of the Company, in Amheim, for the purpose of adopting the proposed by law. A fall attendance is requested. By order of the Board of Trustees. John Fischer, Secretary. Amheim, Jan. 26, 1879. Certificate of Co-partnership. THOMAS C. HULL. FRANCIS A. LUND. STATE OF CALIFORNIA. County of Los Angeles. On this eight day of January, A. D. Theothand eight hundred and seventy-nine beds to my Robert Strong, a notary public, in and for the county of Los Angeles, personally appeared Thomas C. Hull and Francis A. Lund, known to me to be the same persons whose names are subscribed to the admitted instrument and they acknowledged me that they respectively executed the same. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my official seal, at my office (in the said county of Los Angeles), this certificate first above written. ROBERT STRONG. [Seal] JANES R. Notary Public. In a business-like manner slapped his hand on the bar, wherein was heard the jingles of coin, and asked for a "lectle old rye." Being a drink which, in the parlance of the rights of the roads, would be denominated annoter," he raised his hand from the counter and disclosed a two-cent piece. "By go," exclaimed the bum, "I thought it was a quarter!" at the same time fumbling his pocket for change that wasn't there. He looked at the quiet lurking in the mirror of his customer's mouth, and the maker realized that he was sold, and as summer slowly wended his way out put a new trick in the cavities of his memory. Other morning a rather genteel looking individual stepped up to the bar of one of hotels and after a slight remark about inconvenience of night travel in cold weather, borrowed a quarter to get shaved, which he would return as soon as the land opened the safe, where his valuables are locked up. The safe has not been open yet. The art of getting three beers and rough crackers and cheese for a square meal fifteen cents, has been reduced to an experience by these chaps, and they all have regular route. But recently an improvement has been made on this system by a tall hawker-looking individual habilitated something like Mr. Brocklehurst in the play "Jane Eyre," a badge of mourning on his hat, and an old umbrella under his arm. When the bar keeper is busy glides gently when the counter, hans his umbrella over the cracker and cheese bowl when his eyes are turned drops several fulls of crackers in his rain protector. In some quiet and sublued manner he lays down his nickel for a glass of beer and stalks it. The thing is done—the umbrella consists crackers and cheese enough to lunch on remainder of the day. The extent of the tricks played in this line may be partly realised when it is known that every morning there awakens five hundred dry, impeccable maps, thirsty for a dram, and who manage the sun goes down to get one. There no use of getting mud and kicking them, for they are not only used to that, but their drinks would as soon be kicked as not; some of them rather, as it makes feelings of warmth given by the dram extend further down their systems. I am not fitting a temperance lecture, though every year has its moral. The most practical suggestion I have lately seen in the direction of imperformance reform is that of Mr. C. T. Campbell, who recommends the man that must think to make his wife the barkeeper. Every one you buy a drink pay her the regular price for it, and she will make enough off of every gallon you consume to buy a dress. When you have become an inebriate, unable support yourself, shunned and despised respectable people, she will have money enough to keep you until you get ready to fill drunkard's grave." Congress is at it again. The well informed politicians who are always standing about the hills in great numbers, have settled the question of an extra session, which they now try to be held. That is, they think there going to be so much difference between the house and Senate on the important apportionation bills that an extra session will be necessary. The theory is that the Democrats want it in order to get possession of the Senate office, but that they will so manage matters as to throw the responsibility upon the Republicans. One object is to avert a great danger. If both Hayes and Wheeler would die, the White House would be occupied by the President of the Senate and it is, therefore important that a Democratic successor is elected at the counter. On the south front a conservatory, fernery, and orchard house have been erected before three of the drawing room windows. On the west front is a billiard room with a bow window, and additionally lightened by the open timbered roof. This apartment is approached by a corridor 40 feet by 19. On the east front is a one-story wing of kitchens, built with open timbered roofs and furnished with hydraulic ranges, and adjoining these are a dairy, dairy scilery, game larder, plucking room, and bakery. A corridor leads thence to more offices, over which twenty additional bedrooms have been built, and beyond this again are laundries replete with every labor-saving convenience. The premises are entirely gaillot, and elaborate precautions are taken against cewage gas. The stables are splendid, and have stalls for twenty horses. For eighteen months one hundred men have been employed daily on the works. All this palatial splendor is for an untitleled gentleman of the not uncommon name of Browne. Phineas Fogg astonishea his Club when he informs it that he can make the "tour of the world in eight days." The Club is still more surprised when he returns to it after having performed the feat, and thereby won his large wagers. Whilst witnessing the performance of this interesting conception by Jules Verne, the spectator admires its many novel and striking stage effects, without being convinced of the possibility of Mr. Fogg making good his word. This incredulity will now have to give way to incontrovertible fact. Mr. Hars, the American Consul at Alexandria, Egypt, has actually "put a girlie rotund the earth" in 68 days. It took him 20 days to go from Alexandria to San Francisco by Brindisi, Paris, Liverpool and New York; 20 days to go from San Francisco to Yokohama; 6 days after he reached Hongkong; in 10 days he set foot on shore at Ceylon; and 12 days later he found himself again in Egypt. Thus, it is seen, "truth is stranger than fiction."—S. P. Call. The necessity for reading a bond carefully, before signing, is shown in the case of Colonel M.C. Bateman, a contractor and business man in San Francisco for many years. Supposing that he was assuming the eighth part of a bond for $50,000, he signed with seven others, and found, when suit was brought on the bond, that he was really liable for the whole amount. Judgment has not been obtained, and a good defence has been found, which will probably nullify the bond, but in the meantime the creditors of Bateman became alarmed, and pressed their claims, one of them closing his place of business by attachment on Saturday afternoon. It is supposed the matter will be arranged as soon as the creditors meet, and business will be resumed."—S. P. Alta. Bosnia is not at present a very valuable appanage. Its export trade is confided to a small number of cattle, and the horses are so bad as to be useless for military purposes, and worth $10 apiece. Pigs and sheep, of which are together 3,000,000 to a population of 1,000,000 are the chief wealth. It conveys some idea of Bosnian roads to state that the special correspondent of the Vienna Free Press lately telegraphed that he actually saw five horses sink into the mud up to their heads and thus lose their lives. The country has no other means of conveyance ordinarily than pack horses, for the one railroad is half under water. A gentleman who is much interested in the growth of orange, lemon and lime trees in this vicinity informs us that an examination of his plantation reveals the fact that the oranges will doubtless pull through with only the loss of a portion of their leaves, but about one-half of the lemons and nearly all the limes have been killed by the frost. These remarks, however, apply only to young trees; Congress is at it again. The well informed politicians who are always standing about the halls in great numbers, have settled the question of an extra session, which they now may be to be held. That is, they think there going to be so much difference between the House and Senate on the important appropriation bills that an extra session will be necessary. The theory is that the Democrats want it in order to get possession of the Senate offices, but that they will so manage letters as to throw the responsibility upon the Republicans. One object is to avert a great danger. If both Hayes and Wheeler would die, the White House would be occupied by the President of the Senate and it is therefore important that a Democratic successor to Ferry should be elected as soon as possible. These posted politicians, who are always ready to dispose of grave questions or either party on very short notice, say further that the first thing the Senate will do after it becomes democratic, will be to reeve Wm. Pitt Kellogg to private life, on the ground that he was admitted on the certificate of Packard who never was Governor of Louisiana. Another band of Indian chiefs are now in Washington. They are quartered at theremont house, where many curiosity seekers go daily to look at them. They are Utes, from the Los Pinos agency in Colorado, and some here under the pilotage of John Kelley, for the purpose of negotiating the sale of four miles square of their reservation. An influential delegation of Cherokees are also here to enter their protest against the proposed opening up of the Indian Territory. The female suffragists are having a grand new wow here this week, and I will endeavor to tell you all about them in my next. "The Chinese must go!" is a cry that is heard not in California only but the whole world over wherever they have settled in considerable numbers. Such is the case in British Columbia, New Zealand, New South Wales, Australia, and the Sandwich Islands, they come to the countries without wives or families, live, closely packed together, on the cheapest food that will sustain life, save all the money they can with a view to returning to China with their earnings as soon as they can, and being thus enabled to work lower prices than the native workman possibly can, soon obtain a monopoly of one department of labor after the other. In New Zealand they have been set to work upon the railroads, but have been driven away by the white laborers. In New South Wales the cabinet-making trade has passed entirely into their hands, and they are taking the place of white cooks and servants in the hotels,—New York Sun, A gentleman who is much interested in the growth of orange, lemon and lime trees in this vicinity, informs us that an examination of his plantation reveals the fact that the oranges will doubtless pull through with only the loss of a portion of their leaves, but about one-half of the lemons and nearly all the limes have been killed by the frost. These remarks, however, apply only to young trees; those old enough to bear do not seem to have been seriously hurt.—Sacramento Record Union. A writer in the Florida Agriculturist recommends to the orange growers of that State that they have piles of logs and brush ready in different parts of their groves to fire whenever there are indications of a frost. The stumps will burn the whole night, creating a dense smoke and a check to the frost. They stand in great dread of frost in Florida, as in 1835 all the orange trees were killed to the ground. Here is a chance for Dr. O'Donnell to begin another libel suit. The Philadelphia Times says: "The newspaper was acquitted, and before O'Donnell could leave the Court room he was arrested on a charge of murder. A late dispatch says he was convicted and will be hung." Cotton pads prove to be as valuable as life preservers to women, as Testaments were to soldiers during the war. A Massachusetts lover tried to put a bullet through his beloved, but a bulwark of cotton saved her. The public will be glad to know that these accessories have some real value. The Voice is the name of a new monthly paper published in Albany, and designed to inform, console, and help confirmed stutterers and stammerers. It seems to be edited in good faith and with considerable ability. There is probably no other such publication in the world.
