WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 1, 1879. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette at the plains designated. They are authorized to receive money in payment for subscriptions or advertisements: WESTMINSTER.....ROBERT STRONG GARDEN GHOVE.....OON HOWE SANTA ANA.....DR J. N BURTNETT ORANGE.....N D HARWOOD TUBUN.....C TUSTIN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO.....R. DOAN NORWALK.....J. E. CALDWELL SILVERADO.....J. C. HILL TRAVELING AGENT.....A T PERDON SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO THE FRONT. Under the caption of "A Hard Year," the San Francisco Alta has an article of which the following is the opening paragraph: The people of California should make their calculations and preparations, with as much fortitude and resignation as possible, for a hard year. The third week of January is about to close, and the greater part of the State is dry, bare and brown. The grain and grass have not had moisture enough to give them a good start. This is the condition of the portion occupied by the majority of the agricultural population. The season is now so far advanced that there is no reasonable hope for a good crop of wheat, even if the rains of the next three months should be above the average. The rotting of the seed has already inflicted a severe loss. Farm animals are in a reduced condition, on account of scant pasturage, and many would not be able to survive a long, cold storm. The increase will be much less than in a good year. The above gloomy picture is intended only to apply to the northern part of the State, and there is no doubt that its holding features are not overdrawn. The season will be the most disastrous one to the farmers of Northern California in the history of the State; and its only redeeming feature is that it will serve to bring Southern California into greater prominence as an agricultural country. Our dependence upon artificial irrigation has all along been considered one of the drawbacks of the country; but in a season of deficient rainfall, like the present, the advantages of the system stand out in bold relief. ANAHEIM ORANGES. The invitation which has been extended to the growers of semi-tropical fruit in this section, to place some of their fruit on exhibition at the local fair to be held at Riverside on the 12th and 13th inst., should be responded to, and some one of our citizens should be prevailed upon to be present at the Fair as a representative of this place. No expense need be incurred in placing fruit on exhibition, as the committee at Riverside will pay all express charges. An appreciation of their liberality in this respect should be shown, and it will be showing acant courtesy to ignore their kind offer. That there are oranges, lemons and limes grown in Anaheim and vicinity that will successfully withstand the scrutiny of criticism, is beyond dispute. There are half a dozen or more vineyards in town in which are grown fruit of a size and flavor as to fear no comparison. And we have just been shown a letter received by R. H. Gilman, Superintendent of the Southern California Semi-Tropical Fruit Company's plantation, from a well-known commission house of San Francisco acknowledging the receipt of oranges and lemons. They say in their letter: "We have carefully examined the fruit. The lemons are equal to the best imported, being juicy and wholly free from the bitter taste so common in California lemons. The skin is somewhat thicker than the Sicily fruit; but if you can produce lemons of this kind in quantities to supply our market we see no reason why the importing of lemons must not cease. A great deal depends on their keeping qualities, and we have put several away, wrapped in paper, to test this point. We will report to you in time. Sicily's keep many months. The oranges are good—equal to the best of the Australian Navel, which are sent here in the Fall. Sale for such oranges can always be found at full market rates." Such testimony is valuable. To slightly alter an ancient proverb: "Praise from a commission merchant is praise indeed." San Francisco Markets. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30. BALEY—The market continues very dull. Washington Laws. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF WASHINGTON, But little of importance hides the capital the past week. "Gress has been again occupied of its dead, and its sessions ceremonies of mourning." Congressmen this session is four members of the House out of the arena within three weeks, all of them three of the number among highly esteemed members to which they belonged. Three or four days ago the Alexander Stephens had mortal coil, but it proved rumors that are so readily slightest foundation at such little withered frame still casket for one of the brightest country has produced, and how many stout, apparent he may outwear. The female franchisers end pow-wow, and went home ambitiously and discoursing moderate audiences in Lincoln meeting cannot be said to hear anything directly, beyond agitation—and it takes a power to rouse much enthusiasm even among the women who weather was stormy, and M occasion to remark that its suffrage conventions should on rainy days, while the wrongs of women. The magnificent lady is the one olar of strength to the movement disentrallment. The convoy a fine lot of girls, old and yet still a popular delusion to woman belongs to a distinct is acid and bony and downside hide its disgraceful facts. They are neither all men haters, though they give the sterner sex particular rule they are womanly am to apply to the northern part of the State, and there is no doubt that its forbidding features are not overdrawn. The season will be the most disastrous one to the farmers of Northern California in the history of the State; and its only redeeming feature is that it will serve to bring Southern California into greater prominence as an agricultural country. Our dependence upon artificial irrigation has all along been considered one of the drawbacks of the country; but in a season of deficient rainfall, like the present, the advantages of the system stand out in bold relief. In sharp contrast to the condition of things in the north, as outlined in the above extract from the Alta, is the present aspect of agricultural affairs here. The grain and grass are making a wonderful growth; the ground is mellow and in the best possible condition—a state of affairs somewhat phenomenal when the scantiness of the rainfall is taken into consideration. But it must be remembered that the little rain with which we have been blessed came at the most opportune time, and in such a way that every drop sank deep and did the greatest possible amount of good. The heavy mista have also served to keep the ground moist, and a continuation of damp weather, or but an inch or two of rain, will insure a bountiful harvest. Still another advantage which the possession of irrigating facilities gives us over our northern neighbors is that corn can be planted as late as July, or after barley has been harvested and threshed, thus raising two crops in one year from the same ground. The little expense attendant upon planting and harvesting a corn crop has given it the session of land upon which it can be grown is a feature which can not be safely ignored by a California farmer. In another paragraph of the article from which we have quoted, the following very sensible sentence appears: Immigrants with money might do well in buying farms, which can now be got cheap, and will command better prices next year; but those who have neither engagements before coming, nor capital, nor relatives or friends to assist them, should not come until there is a decided improvement in the season, relying on the chances of employment as unskilled laborers in the middle of the State. Some of the finest lands in the State environ Anaheim, and are held at prices which permit persons of moderate means to acquire a sufficient area for a homestead. Although we believe that the practice of acquiring land by paying only a small portion of the purchase money, and giving a mortgage for the balance, is a pernicious one, we know there are those who are unable to do otherwise, or who view the matter in a different light. For their information, then, we would state that in no other part of the State that we are aware of can land be bought on such easy terms. Those who are in search of homes should come to Anaheim, and, our word for it, they will be shown as fine a body of land and a highly cultivated farm as can be found in any portion of the State. The Anaheim section, it seems, despite the boast of its utility to the contrary, has been San Francisco Markets. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30. BARLEY—The market continues very dull and weak.

That statement is untrue, and in making it the Express editor exhibits a degree of malevolence of which we thought him incapable. Every statement that has appeared in the editorial columns of the Gazette in reference to the frost has been the exact truth, and we do not propose to have our veracity questioned without resenting it. Orange and lemon trees in Anaheim have suffered not the slightest injury from the frost, and in view of this fact we have claimed that this is one of the few sections of the county in which it is safe to plant an orange grove. A portion of the Los Angeles press don't like these "boasts" of ours. It is solidom that any praise of Anaheim finds its way into their columns, but they never miss an opportunity to speak a detracting word against us. But, thank heaven, we can work out our salvation without their aid. CALIFORNIA readers of English newspapers have probably been puzzled by the frequent use of the word "Jingo" as a political term. In Liberal journals for some time back the word has been almost the only one used to denote the thorough-going supporters of the Beaconfield government in their foreign policy, and especially in relation to Russia. The origin of the term is to be found in the words of a song which a year or more ago was the most popular in England. The chorus runs thus: "We don't want to fight; but, by Jingo, if we do. We've got the issue, we've got the ships, we've got the money too." At a mass meeting in Hyde Park, London, Mr. Auberon Herbert, a bitter opponent of the Government, spoke of their supporters as "the Jingoes," and the word was at once taken up generally, and promoted to the dignity of a political title. At Visalia on January 20th, George Guzman and Theresa Porter, or Poras (Mexicans), were married by a Justice of the Peace.

Washington Letter. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15. But little of importance has transpired at the capital the past week. The time of Congress has been again occupied with the burial of its dead, and its sessions broken by the ceremonies of mourning. The mortality of Congressmen this session is really alarming. Four members of the House have dropped out of the arena within the short space of three weeks, all of them Democrats, and three of the number among the most useful and highly esteemed members of the body to which they belonged. It was reported three or four days ago that the venerable Alexander Stephens had shuffled off this mortal coil, but it proved only one of the rumors that are so readily started upon the slightest foundation at such a time. Alex's little withered frame still forms a living casket for one of the brightest intellects the country has produced, and there is no telling how many stout, apparently healthy, men he may outwear. The female franchisers ended their annual pow-wow, and went home after resoluting ambitionously and discoursing eloquently to moderate audiences in Lincoln's Hall. The meeting can not be said to have accomplished anything directly, beyond a little wholesome agitation—and it takes a power of preaching to rouse much enthusiasm on this subject, even among the women themselves. The weather was stormy, and Mrs. Stanton took occasion to remark that it was fitting that suffrage conventions should invariably meet on rainy days, while the heavens wept over the wrongs of women. This matronly and magnificent lady is the one overtowering pillar of strength to the movement for woman's disenthralment. The convention coinprised a fine lot of girls, old and young. If there is still a popular delusion that the suffrage woman belongs to a distinct species, that she is acid and bony and slowly, let that delusion hide its disgraceful head before the facts. They are neither all "old maids" nor all men haters, though they do sometimes give the sterner sex particular fits. But as a rule they are womanly and refined and self-aware. All About Frost. (From the Burl Press) The prevalence of frost this winter may make a general review of its occurrence of interest to many readers. In the first place the white frost, which we see so thickly spread after a clear, cold night, is but frozen dew; consequently it is produced as is dew. The only difference is that the temperature, which is low enough to condense moisture in the form of the dew-drop, is carried still lower in the case of white frost. It is carried to the freezing point; the dew freezes and the tender vegetation, upon which the dew freezes, is injured. This being the primal fact in the case of white frost, it but remains to investigate the occurrence of dew to determine the nature of frost, which is one of its forms. Dew does not fall from above as the rain. It does not come from beneath as does water drawn up and out by evaporation. It is formed just at the point where it is seen, being a condensation of atmospheric moisture upon a surface having a lower temperature than that of the air. It is deposited in minute drops, which as the condensation proceeds, may join themselves to each other to form large drops, as we see them trickling from the leaves, or the drops may run together and form a thin coating of water, as we see it on flat surfaces in the early morning. At the surface of the ground the amount of moisture in the air varies according to the time of day, increasing when the heat decreases. Thus the warmer the air, the drier it is; the colder it is, the more readily will it be saturated with moisture. In temperate regions the air is cooler and consequently most saturated with moisture just before sunrise. It has been proved by many accurate tests with the thermometer, that on a clear night the grass of a meadow may be 10° to 20° colder than the air, and this it is which condenses the moisture from the atmosphere upon objects near the ground. This decrease of temperature is caused by radiation after sundown. When there is nothing to prevent this heat from the surface from being dispersed, it soon becomes irradiated and lost. Clear still air facilitates this radiation, but a cloud, or some artificial... on rainy days, while the heavens wept over the wrongs of women. This matronly and magnificent lady is the one overtowering pillar of strength for woman's disenthrallment. The convention comprised a fine lot of girls, old and young. If there is still a popular delusion that the suffrage woman belongs to a distinct species, that she is acid and bony and dowdy, let that delusion hide its disgraceful head before the facts. They are neither all "old maids" nor all men haters, though they do sometimes give the sterner sex particular fits. But as a rule they are womanly and refined and self-dom go back on the gospel of good gowns. For instance, Lillie Devereux Blake, blonde, brilliant, staccato, stylish. She is the woman who "blares" the most pronounced whim of millinery and look pretty in it. Mrs. Stanton, in matronly silks and softly falling laces; Miss Anthony, in rich and rather sombre black, relieved by a tint of white lace; Mrs. Gage, with white hair a la Martha Washington and suit of garnet silk and velvet; the professional women, in dresses that were fitting, graceful and individual. The brightest and prettiest of them all, Miss Pacebe Cozzens, was not present this time. Doubtless she was too much occupied with her law practice in St. Louis. Here in Washington we have a drunken judge, whose decisions are a burlesque on law and an outrage on decency. His name is Humphreys, and it is no libel to say that he is habitually drunk on the bench. He is one of the judges of the District Supreme Court—not U. S. Supreme Court—and comes from Alabama. It is said Senator Spencer got him appointed during Grant's It has been his custom to get liquor from a neighboring restaurant, brought in by a colored attache of the court in a glass set in an empty cigar box. He is often in a maudlin condition as early as ten o'clock in the morning, and creates a good deal of amusement when he does not make a too pitiful exhibition of himself and retards justice. Two or three years ago an attempt was made to impach him, but politics defeated it. If the Democrats elect the next President he will be put out. A member of the bar recently told me that the judge now gets his liquor in a smoking tobacco box, and when it arrives he retires to a little ante room, and takes his refreshment like a true Alabamian. Preparations for taking the Census next year are occupying the attention of Congress, and the bill introduced by Mr. Cox of New York, is a well devised measure. Since the passage of the act of 1850, under which three censuses have been taken, the conditions of the country have changed, better methods of enumeration have been devised, and there has been an increasing public demand for a greater variety of statistical information to be obtained in connection with the census. It is important that the work be thoroughly done, and that it may furnish a fresh array of figures on various subjects from which a good deal of illumination, so to speak, may be drawn. The argument from statistics is a powerful one in this matter-of-fact age, but such argument is powerful only for evil unregions the air is cooler and consequently most saturated with moisture just before sunrise. It has been proved by many accurate tests with the thermometer, that on a clear night the grass of a meadow may be 10° to 20° colder than the air, and this it is which condenses the moisture from the atmosphere upon objects near the ground. This decrease of temperature is caused by radiation after sundown. When there is nothing to prevent this heat from the surface from being dispersed, it soon becomes irradiated and lost. Clear still air facilitates this radiation, but a cloud, or some artificial covering like a sheet of paper or a little smoke, prevents radiation; consequently on a cloudy night, there is little or no dew, and being no dew, there is little or no white frost. In this fact we find the reason for the protection which is afforded by covering a tender plant with a newspaper suspended above it. It does not keep the frost from descending upon the plant, as some think, but it prevents radiation beneath, and this holds a temperature which is too high to freeze the moisture from air. What a difference in temperature is occasioned by artificially preventing radiation in this way, is shown by tests made by Wells, who was a leading experimenter in matters of this nature. He spread a handkerchief upon four pegs above the surface of grass, and found that the temperature under the handkerchief was at times 11 higher than that just outside it, and while the turf outside the handkerchief was frozen, that under it was several degrees above the freezing point. This result was secured by pressure of the earth, and the same principle applies in the use of clouds of smoke to protect vineyards, as has been done in France and in this State. Upon the point raised by our querist whether heavy frosts draw moisture from soil, the answer is probably plain enough when it is established that dew and white frost are two forms of the same thing, for no one would claim that a heavy dew was drying in its effect upon the soil. The fact is that dew and white frost are condensations from the moisture in the air, and when they are deposited upon the surface of the earth they impart moisture to it. And they do not impart moisture alone, for the composition of dew and mist have been found analogous to rain, in that they contain a certain amount of ammonia and nitric acid, and thus enrich the soil with these fertilizing properties from the air. Of course the dew is no richer in these substances, because the temperature which condenses is also low enough to freeze the aqueous vapor, nor is it poorer for the change in the form of the medium which contains it. The reason why the occurrence of white frost is credited with drawing moisture from the soil, may be because seasons which are fitted by clear cold nights to freeze the dew, generally have dry sunny days to speedily evaporate the moisture which was deposited, and the earth seems drier day by day.

NEWSPAPER MUD-THROWING. Certain London editors do not seem to fraternize with the utmost affection. Thus the Whitehall Review, upon the death of Princess Alice, said in rather a stately way: "It is our mournful duty to convey to the Queen the respectful and sincere condolence of that section of the community more intimately connected with the Court and its surroundings than any other portion of Her Majesty's subjects." Upon this, the London World newspaper, rising up savagely, says that the proprietor of the Whitehall Review is an egg merchant, named Peacock, of the firm of Merdin & Peacock, Wells street; that the editor is an ex-reporter of the morning Post, and was formerly the sub-editor of a third-rate country newspaper. And he wants to know, does this sub-acidulous critic, "how this tradesman and his young man are more intimately connected with the Court and its surroundings than any other portion of Her Majesty's subjects"—unless—mark the fine irony!—"the one purveys the butter for the royal household, and the other the paper in which the butter is wrapped!" And so, with a withering allusion to "rampant idiocy and sickening flunkeydom," he leaves this pin sticking in the side of a contemporary and a brother. Wm.
