In jumping off a wagon one day last week, his foot slipped and he fell on his face, sustaining severe bruises. —Round trip tickets from Anaheim to San Francisco, good for twenty days, can now be purchased from Mr. Darling for $37. Ordinary tickets cost $24 50 each way, so that by the new arrangement a saving of $12 can be effected. —Mr. M. A. Butler, of Bedford, Indiana, has been sojourning with us for the past few days. Unless we are greatly mistaken, Bedford will lose one of its oldest and most respected citizens, and Anaheim will ere long have another Hoosier resident. So mote it be. —Mr. Kenyon Cox, of the firm of A. Guy Smith & Co., leaves with his family for New York to-day. His large business interests in the East will keep him away from Anaheim for some time, but he will return in due time. We wish him a pleasant voyage, and hope for his speedy return. —We notice that in several counties in the northern part of the State, Vinicultural Societies have recently been formed, having for their object the advancement of the interests of grape growers. Much good must necessarily result from the formation of such societies, and we respectfully suggest the organization of "The Anaheim Vinicultural Society." —In noticing the proceedings of the Los Angeles Presbytery, the San Francisco Bulletin says: "Revs. Packard and Halliday were given permission to labor in their present respective fields, viz: Wilmington, Anaheim and Oregon." Mr. Halliday will find some difficulty in preaching at Anaheim in the morning and at Oregon in the afternoon. He should confine his ministerial labors to Anaheim and Orange, and let the Webfeet go. —the Express says that on Monday afternoon a large frame building in Wilmington, known as Downing Block, took fire and burned to the ground. Owing to the high wind which prevailed it was feared that a large part of the town might be swept, and assistance was summoned from Los Angeles. The switch engine of the Southern Pacific Railway, which is provided with a steam fire engine attachment for just such emergencies, put out of the Los Angeles depot, and in fifty-two minutes was playing upon the fire. Of course it was impossible to save the structure, but the fire was prevented from spreading. —a large company assembled at the Catholic Church on Saturday morning to witness the ceremony of marriage, the contracting parties being Mr. Adolph Rimpau and Miss Natalea Carrillo. The bride looked lovely in a dress of lavender silk, with satin sleeves and trimmings of the same shade.

Pre further information and stamp for illustrated circular, to A large company assembled at the Catholic Church on Saturday morning to witness the ceremony of marriage, the contracting parties being Mr. Adolph Rimpau and Miss Natalea Carrillo. The bride looked lovely in a dress of lavender silk, with satin sleeves and trimmings of the same shade. Her head was crowned with a magnificent wreath of orange blossoms, and pendant was an embroidered tulle veil. The bridesmaids, Miss Claudina Rimpau and Miss Sepulveda, were beautifully attired, the former in a white alpaca dress with elegant laces and jewelry. and the latter in a rich, cream-colored, brocaded satin, with tulle and blonde fichu and overdress. After the ceremony the relatives repaired to the house of the groom's parents and partook of the wedding breakfast, and then the young couple started on their wedding tour, taking with them the well-wishes of their numberless friends. We had a visit on Monday from a gentleman who some time ago secured a patent for well-boring tools which are claimed to be the one thing needful in this county. Although artesian water is known to course all through this section, it has heretofore failed to be of any benefit to certain localities because of the inability of the tools at present in use to force a passage way through the intervening strata of boulders. Whenever a rock was found too large to be forced to one side, work on the well had perforce to stop. It is claimed that the invention spoken of will drill through any substance it comes in contact with, and thus do away with the uncertainty attending the boring for artesian water. The inventor lacks about $200 of having sufficient money to have the apparatus made, and this paragraph is written in the hope that some one will contribute pecuniary assistance in demonstrating the utility of the invention. If it will do what is claimed for it, there is "big money" in having control of it. It seems to us that any one who has a well which has been stopped by boulders would find it expedient and profitable to investigate the merits of this invention, and if it looks practicable, advance the sum required to test it. The editor will take pleasure in communicating the inventor's name to any-one who desires further information. An affray occurred Monday morning by Al. Wormley.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1879. Anaheim Literary Union. The society convened at the usual hour. The opening exercise was a song by Mrs. Bessie Lawrence and Mrs. Evans. The audience were so delighted with this musical treat that the ladies were called out a second time. Mr. D. R. Payne read a criticism on the exercises of last meeting. He pitched into the Gazette's report of the debate of the previous evening. His idea seemed to be that the reporter should have reported a large majority in favor of the new Constitution, whether such a majority existed or not. As the critic was one of the speakers of the previous evening, and was one of the five who voted that they had cleaned out the other side, he would probably have left a better impression in regard to his capability to judge impartially had he said nothing about the vote. The debate was next declared in order. The order of business was suspended and persons not members of the society invited to take part in the debate. Mr. D. R. Payne led off into the affirmative and Mr. J. M. Guinn in the negative. Mr. B. F. E. Kellogg was invited by a gentleman on the negative to give his views upon the new Constitution. Mr. K.'s views seemed to be that every man who opposed that wonderful instrument ought to be abused and insulted, and particularly the gentleman who invited him to speak. If assertions and personalities could convince Mr. K. ought to have won the decision. Mr. Lynill was invited to speak in the negative and presented his views in a clear and concise manner. He made one of the best arguments against the Constitution that we have heard during the campaign. The decision of the audience was in favor of the negative by a large ma- A Reply to Mr. Olden. Edton Gazette:—In Mr. Olden's reply to "J. W.," I see he has avoided the main points in my article and flirted into a tirade about buswhackers, boonmumps, etc. As I have never taken any leisure in Blackguardism, I will throw up the sponge at the end of the first round and leave the field to Mr. Olden, as I am satisfied I hit no match for him in that kind of talk. I am the author of the article signed "J. W." and am not afraid to share my full name to anything I write, as Mr. O. will now when he gets to the bottom of this article. For Mr. O.'s benefit I will say I deny that the Keart neyites include all of the criminal element. He says I ought to have heard Knight and Linchan on that subject. Now, from the reports I hear of their talk I hardly think I would have been much enlightened on that subject or any other. In regard to what Knight and Linchan says about the new Constitution, I have this to say, our people have read that instrument and I think they are as capable of understanding it as Knight and Linchan. Mr. O. claims that if A hires horses or money to B, B should be obliged to pay the tax on them although he does not own them. Now if Mr. O. will take the trouble to read Session 5 Article 13 in the new Constitution, he will see that kind of swindling will be played out when that instrument is adopted. Mr. O. asks if I think one dollar should be taxed more than once, and goes on to say the new Constitution provides for the taxation of money five or even ten times. Section 8 Article 13 in the new Constitution reads as follows: "The Legislature shall by law require each taxpayer in this State to make and deliver to the County Assessor, annually, a statement under oath, setting forth specifically all the real and personal property owned by such taxpayer, or in his possession or under his control at twelve o'clock meridian, on the first Monday of March." Now, unless Mr. O. can prove that it is possible for five or ten men to own or have in their possession the same dollar at twelve o'clock meridian VALUABLE TESTIMONY. The Representative Pewson of Anaheim's Climate. R. McKinnon, Esq.:—Dear Sir: I doubt if I can add anything of interest to the statements already published concerning this vicinity, either as regards its fertility of soil or healthfulness of climate. Concerning the latter, I can only refer you to myself bodily. You saw me on my arrival here, in the autumn of 1872; certainly not a very fair specimen of the able-bodied working man; requiring the use of a cane constantly while walking; a quarter of a mile of this exercise being considered by me a pretty fair foreseen's work. Purchasing a piece of land worth of town, said land being quite hidden beneath a growth of malva, mustard and sunflower ten feet in height, and exchanging my cane for a hoe, I began working it in the spring of 1872, and have continued it till the present time, putting in from ten to fourteen hours per day; and now, as a result of what man can do in this climate, unaided by anything save an occasional lift in the way of plowing or irrigation, I would refer you, or any others interested, to the place itself, ten acres of which, in one corner, are enclosed on two sides by a belt of encalypti containing seven hundred trees in four to six rows, eight feet apart each way; the trees, three years old, being about thirty feet in height. Within this place is the dwelling and out-houses surrounded by fruit and forest trees and shrubbery, the praises bestowed upon which by others I appreciate, but cannot repeat. All I can add is, I came out here to spend one winter, and the longer I stay the less I care to return to它ither heat or the cold of the Atlantic sea-board. Yours, E. 8. Saxton.

If assertions and personalities could convince, Mr. K. ought to have won the decision. Mr. Lynill was invited to speak in the negative and presented his views in a clear and concise manner. He made one of the best arguments against the Constitution that we have heard during the campaign. The decision of the audience was in favor of the negative by a large majority. The following is the programme for the next meeting, Friday 25th. Declamations and Recitations by Miss Nellie Knobel, Miss Doretta Fisches, Mr. Henderson and Mr. E. Ferguson; reading of the "Leader" by the assistant editor. —The Republican County Central Committee held a meeting last Saturday to make arrangements and fix a time for holding primaries to elect fifteen delegates to the State Convention which meets in Sacramento on the 18th of Juhe. It was decided to apportion on the basis of one delegate to every two hundred votes polled at the last general election for H. D. Barrows for State Senator. The above apportionment gives Anaheim one delegate; Garden Grove, Westminster and Fountain Valley combined, one delegate; Santa Ana, one delegate; Orange, Tustin, San Juan and Upper Santa Ana combined, one delegate. The southern end of the county at the last general election gave a Republican vote of eight hundred. —Arrangements have been made for a public discussion of the new Constitution. The debate will take place at Kroeger's Hall next Saturday evening, April 26th, commencing at 7:30 o'clock. Messrs. E. Evey, Montgomery and McFadden have been invited to speak in favor of its adoption, and Messrs. Lynn, Henderson and Guinn against. From twenty to twenty-five minutes will be allowed each speaker to give his views and answer the arguments of his opponents. The debate will be conducted in strict accordance with parliamentary rules. No personalities will be allowed. —The subscribers to the stock for the proposed wharf at Santa Monica held a meeting in Los Angeles on Saturday at which the question was discussed as to the best method of placing the wharf beyond the possibility of transfer, so as to keep it from getting into the control of the railroad company. No feasible method was suggested. —An affray occurred at Santa Monica on Monday morning between T. H. McNally and Al Wormley. The latter accused McNally's son of stealing some things from his room, and the father resented the charge and attacked Wormley with a knife. The latter retreated to a yard and picked up an axe with which he inflicted serious wounds on his pursuer. —A. Junge, of Los Angeles, committed suicide by taking prussic acid on Monday kind of swimming with that instrument is adopted. Mr. O. asks if I think one dollar should be taxed more than once, and goes on to say the new Constitution provides for the taxation of money five or even ten times. Section 8 Article 13 in the new Constitution reads as follows: "The Legislature shall by law require each taxpayer in this State to make and deliver to the County Assessor, annually, a statement under oath, setting forth specifically all the real and personal property owned by such taxpayer, or in his possession or under his control at twelve o'clock meridian, on the first Monday of March." Now, unless Mr. O. can prove that it is possible for five or ten men to own or have in their possession the same dollar at twelve o'clock meridian on the first Monday of March, he must stand convicted of having uttered a false statement. Mr. O. claims that I made an attack upon the owners and agent of the Stearns' Ranchos, and says I made false statements in regard to the price of those lands. I simply made an illustration to show that the farmer not only paid taxes on what he owned, but paid taxes and interest also on the company's interest in the land he purchased of them, and was unable to pay all down for at the time of purchase. The price I named was what I paid for my land, but that has nothing to do with the point of issue. I have nothing against the Land Company or its agent personally, because I have never had any dealings with them directly, (I bought my land second hand.) In regard to what Mr. O. says about the Land Co., foreclosing and driving people out of their homes, I think it is all idle talk; however, he hits the nail on the head when he says they will do just what any other business man would do. So long as they see that the farmer is doing all he can to pay up for his land, so long will they wait. I don't believe they are tools enough to cut off their nose to spite their face. So far as Westminster is concerned, I am satisfied the farmers are doing the best they can to pay up for their land, and if Mr. O. doubts my word let him ask Mr. Strong; he knows as much or more about land matters in this colony than anybody else, and I satisfied that he will tell Mr. O. the truth about the matter. Mr. O. says I made a misstatement in regard to the assessment of the sold and unsold lands of the Stearns' Ranchos. Land here in Westminster is assessed at from $10 to $20 an acre, while if my information is correct the unsold portion of the Stearns' Ranchos is assessed at about $5 per acre. Mr. O. says 60,000 acres of the best land has been called out of the Stearns' Ranchos (I suppose that includes Westminster). Then he goes on to say that at least 15,000 acres of what is left are of no present value, being strong alkaline, salt lagoon and other lands that have no present value. If my memory serves me right Mr. O. wrote one or more articles for the Gazette, in which he spoke of the arable lands of the Stearns' Ranchos, also of evergreen pastures suitable for keeping stock on all the year round; but Mr. O. was trying to sell those lands then, but when the question of taxation comes up, those lands seem to change suddenly from evergreen pastures to strong alkaline, salt lagoon and other lands that have no present value. In regard to the lands in Westminster I think I know something, and so far as I can learn about one-half of it is strong alkali land unfit for cultivation, still it is assessed much higher than land adjoining it. Mr. O. says I fail to endow the widow. That is not my business; the Legislature will attend to that. In regard to what Mr. O. says about the lien that mechanics, artisans and laborers will have upon the property upon which they have bestowed their labor. A owns a ship and hires it to Capt. B. Capt. B hires a crew of men to man that ship and goes out on a voyage; when that ship arrives in port if Capt. B fails to pay those men of which, in one corner, are enclosed on two sides by a belt of eucalypti containing seven hundred trees in four to six rows, eight feet apart each way; the trees, three years old, being about thirty feet in height.

All I can add is, I came out here to spend one winter, and the longer I stay the less I care to return to etitner heat or the cold of the Atlantic sea-board. Youra, E. S. Saxton. A STRANGE STORY. One of the strangest crimes on record was perpetrated in San Francisco a few days ago. Josiah Bacon was the agent of the Goodyear Dental Vulcanite Company, an incorporation which levies an annual tribute of $50 from all dentists for use of a patent artificial gum and plate. The payment of this royalty is naturally made grudgingly by dentists, and it has been necessary to enforce payment in many instances by suit. As The Company had the law on their side, the cases were invariably decided in their favor. In the prosecution of these suits, Bacon rendered himself particularly obnoxious, being a hard, uncompromising man, and always insisting upon his "pound of flesh." Last week he commenced suit against a number of San Francisco dentists for payment of the royalty, and among those cited was Dr. Samuel P. Chalfant. This man had for a number of years persistently refused to pay tribute to the Company, and he had in consequence been more than once broken up in business by Bacon, and compelled to leave cities in which he had settled. Bacon's life had often been threatened, his rigor and exactions having broken up hundreds of dentists. Last Sunday morning, Bacon was found dead in his room in the Baldwin Hotel, San Francisco. Circumstances pointed to the conclusion that he was murdered, and subsequent investigation led the detectives to believe that Dr. Chalfant did the killing; but all efforts to find him were unavailing. Their theory, however, proved correct; for on Wednesday morning Dr. Chalfant walked into the City Prison and surrendered himself. He was suffering from a high fever; sickness and remorse had completely unmanned him. His story is briefly this: Bacon had threatened to imprison him, and the thought of confinement so worried him that he concluded to visit Bacon and try and make peace with him. He (Chalfant) had been sick and was nervous and irritable. He visited Bacon at his room in the hotel, and found him at his toilet. As soon as Chalfant made known his errand, Bacon became harash and overbearing in his manner. Chalfant says that in order to command respectful treatment, he drew his pistol, but with no intention of using it. He pointed at Bacon, and his nerves being unnurting, he involuntarily pulled the trigger and Bacon fell at his feet, a corpse. He was horror stricken at what he had done, and supposing that the report of the pistol would alarm the guest, he waited in the room, ex- It is not red up until day more than five months since Monsieur Monsieur's instance nobility But she cording but only himself are aware who got his hair.

McNally and Al Wormley. The latter accused McNally's son of stealing some things from his room, and the father resented the charge and attacked Wormley with a knife. The latter retreated to a yard and picked up an axe with which he inflicted serious wounds on his pursuer. A. Junga, of Los Angeles, committed suicide by taking prussic acid on Monday morning. Decased was the proprietor of a drug store on Main street, in Los Angeles. He daily expected to be sold out by his creditors, and, besides, a mortgage was about to foreclose on his home. He left a letter addressed to his son, in which he referred to his troubles as the cause of his suicide. He leaves a wife and four children. At no time in the past ten years have the vineyards of Anaheim looked so well as they do now. The season having been propitious, and more than ordinary care having been bestowed upon the vineyards, the result is that each particular vine seems to vie with the other in putting forth foliage and buds. Unless some untoward event occurs, there will be a heavy crop of grapes. Mrs. R. F. Clark, the Adventist preacher, who has been conducting a long and successful revival in Tustin City, will hold services in Magnolia Hall Saturday evening at 7:30 and on Sunday at 3 o'clock p.m. The lady is an eloquent exponent of her religious faith. All are cordially invited to attend the services. Dr. Higgins has just received at his drug store a quantity of "Calcicake," or compressed calcimine, which is said to be greatly superior to anything of the kind now in use. It comes in small cakes, of various tints, and all that is required to make it ready for use is to add boiling water. The wool and wine shipments from the depot are very large, and still the warehouse is well filled with produce, as there is a scarcity of cars. Mr. Harbison of San Diego thinks that the honey crop of that county will be about one-half of last year's yield. He (Chalfant) had been sick and was nervous and irritable. He visited Bacon at his room in the hotel, and found him at his toilet. As soon as Chalfant made known his errand, Bacon became harsh and overbearing in his manner. Chalfant says that in order to command respectful treatment, he drew his pistol, but with no intention of using it. He pointed it at Bacon, and his nerves being unstrung, he involuntarily pulled the trigger and Bacon fell at his feet, a corpse. He was horror stricken at what he had done, and supposing that the report of the pistol would alarm the guests, he waited in the room, expecting it to be soon filled with people. None came, however, and he left the hotel, wandering aimlessly about, until he found himself on the water front, too ill to go further. He applied for lodging at a small hotel and was given a room. He did not leave his bed until Wednesday morning, when he went to the police station and gave himself up. Not a mouthful of food had passed his lips during the three days. His story is believed by the detectives, and their sympathies are decidedly with him. The appointment of Charles Newbold, Esqr., as one of the vice-presidents of the Horticultural Society will be a good one if he does not try to force the farmers to follow his pernicious habit of harvesting his potatoes with a reaper, instead of using a header to take off the fruit, and by that means save the walks for feed for stock, as any well-meaning farmer should do. Then again his habit of allowing fine-cut tobacco to ripen on the trees, causes a discoloration of the tin foil, so that it is unsalable as old lead. His theory, that the orange is a tuber, has been exploded, and his attempt to raise them by planting the trees top down, so that the bulbs might be plucked readily, was a failure. If he will guard against these and other ideas, peculiar to himself and the late lamented Horace, he will fill the position with credit to himself and the county. Col. A. H. Miller, who is boring an artesian well on the high mesa, near the Cohnenga mountains, struck water on Friday at a depth of 219 feet, which rose 30 feet in the tube. GAZETTE. NO. 28.

An conscient correspondent of the London Daily News, who has just been up the Nile inquiring into the state of the village per-命ally, without a dragoness, writes from Cairo: It is an unpleasant truth, but an undeniable one, that the people have been, and still are, starving by handouts on the Nile, from no other reason than that they have been unable, under their crushing tautity, to save money or stains against the failure of their crops, and the immediate result is naturally a famine. So long have the fullbore now been scantroped to work for the tent-gatherer instead of threshers, that no man ever thinks of making more than sufficient for his wants from day to day. From Silut to the Catamata there is currently a village or town which cannot count its dead by fifteen, some by hundreds. At each of the larger towns along the banks the fallahs from the inland villages have crowded in, sought for relief or for work, have found none, and have lain down and starved. The sight of these poor wretches is sickening. Their condition is only comparable to that of the natives in the last Indian famine. With abrunken skin and staring bones; they resemble the mummies of their land more than fellow-creaturea. In the open market places they lie prostrate in the sun, covered with flies, half or wholly naked, until death puts an end to their sufferings. As long as they have strength they fight like wild beasts over the smallest morsel of food, and when they are past this they die with less attention paid them than if they were street dogs. At Belyanch, Bagour Han and such towns the people have been and are starving in utter neglect. Sitting in the fields and the open streets many of them have been supporting French phyllomena. French viseuilante claim that the phyllomena was introduced into France from the United States. Whether this allegation is well founded or not, it is quite clear that France has returned the injury with interest in the mission of Mona Leon Chottien. We are far from even intimating anything personally disrespectful of Mona Chottien, whom John W. Forney takes unnecessary pains to indignate as a gentleman of good breeding—a point which one has never called in question. Nevertheless we insist that, in several respects, there is strong remsemblance between the operations of the phyllomena and those of Mona Chottien, with this difference in favor of the former, that while the American bug worms slowly, destroying vine after vine and vineyard after vineyard by gradual apprehension, the French summary threatens to derogate all of our viticultural interests at one gulp. The phyllomena operates clandestinely, and to a certain extent, so does Mona Chottien. That gentleman has evidently discovered the reprehensible selfishness of certain guilds and interests in this country. He has learned their neglectful indifference to the welfare of others, provided they can gain a slight advantage for themselves. He has seen the unscrupulousness of the iron and coal men of Pennsylvania, the spinners and weavers of Massachusetts, the corn men of the West, the cotton men of the South, and the salt monopolists of New York. He has calculated their respective strength in Congress, and is endeavoring to enlist their several support against the wine and brandy interests of California, and the silk interests of new Jersey, in consideration of certain promised benefits they are to reap from his proposed commercial treaty with France.

[Los Angeles Herald, Nov. 22] It is not often that our quiet town is stirred up to its depths, as was the case yesterday morning. The hero of the incident was the petite but chivalrous editor of the Union, Monsieur Ganee. It seems that the last number of L'Union contained an article reflecting on several highly respectable French ladies of Los Angeles, who do not allow themselves to be spoken of with scant courtesy. Three of them, amongst whom was Madame Marra, the possessor of a delicious contralto voice, and whose amiable and painstaking efforts to amuse our lovers of music have endeared her to multitudes hereabouts, concluded to interview Monsieur Ganee. They resorted to his office; and having asked him for a retraction which was refused, presuming upon his size, they proceeded to drub him in a robust Anglo-Saxon fashion. Thus far the old French aphorism applied to the action of Monsieur Ganee. He made no signs of resistance, the noblesse oblige of the old French nobility apparently governing his conduct. But there is an end to all "foolishness," according to the standard of our diminutive but energetic friend. He managed to release himself from the trinity of fair ones, and, we are informed, descending to the lower story, he got possession of a club and returned to his vanetum sanctorum. It did not prove to be a case of Hercules and his club. The club was there, but the Hercules was non eat. At this stage Madame Marra developed qualities which would justly entitle her to personate the role of queen of the Amazonas who figured in the time of Thessalee. With the aplomb of a Semiramis or Boadicee—"off"—she gave Monsieur Ganee a stinger on the nose. While that unfortunate gentleman was mentally pondering on the efficiency of his flexor and extensor muscles, she followed up the advantage by giving him a vicious kick on the shins, which brought him to his knees. In this suppliant attitude she wrested his club from him, leaving him horse du combat. In honor of the magnanimity of women it is only just to say that Madame of others provided they can gain a slight advantage for themselves. He has seen an unscrupulousness of the iron and coal man of Pennsylvania, the spinners and weavers of Massachusetts, the corn men of the West, the cotton men of South, and the salt monopolists of New York. He has calculated their respective strength in Congress, and is endeavoring to enlist their several support against the wine and brandy interests of California, and the silk interests of new Jersey, in consideration of certain promised benefits they are to reap from his proposed commercial treaty with France. In the meantime Mouss. Chotteau "laughs in his sleeve" when he reflects upon the fact that his promised benefits are all "feather and prunella," mere myths without substance, empty barrels flung to whales. He knows that it is entirely beyond his power, or even that of the French Government, to insure a really free entrance of American products into France so that they can be consumed by the people of that country without payment of octroi duties, which must be borne by the exporters. While his persistence and real entitle him to the confidence and esteem of French wine, brandy and silk makers, the character of his mission equally entitles him to the respectful but decided opposition of the well-intentioned and patriotic people of this country. Between phylloxera and Chotteau, the latter is the greater evil.-Commercial Herald. A Glass Dress. Professor Theodore Greiner, a patient glass-blower of an inventive turn of mind, has after four months of untiring labor produced a marvel in the shape of a lady's dress, woven-trimmings and all-from strands of glass spun by him. The wonder was produced in the basement of the residence of S.Issance, No. 1434 Mission street, a gentleman who was struck with the phenomenal powers of Professor Greiner in weaving glass, some years ago, while the latter was in New Orleans, and who went into partnership with him. The spinning was done by blowing glass into long strands, and washing them in a solution beet-root sugar, which has a toughening effect. The weaving was done on an old-fashioned hand-loom, the warp being nineteen feet long and the woof four feet; a number of colors being worked in, and producing a beautiful bright glass cloth. The dress was made by Lottie Hoff,a dressmaker who was occupied five days in cutting and making the costume. The dress is en panier, with loop sleeves and square neck, ornamented with box pleating,and bound in blue.The garments are soon to be put on exhibition,and will form one of the curiosities of the day.In 1863 Professor Greiner span and wove a dress entirely of glass,fork which he was offered $2,500,but he put it upon exhibition,and it was soon cut to pieces by persons who desired specimens.With the new dress there is a set of beautiful blonde glass curls of a natural hue.upon the head of the model，reaching tothe waist.Professor Greiner is a native of Bohemia,and belongs to a familyof glass-blowers.His It did not prove to be a case of Hercules and his club. The club was there, but the Hercules was non est. At this stage Madame Marra developed qualities which would justly entitle her to personate the role of that queen of the Amazons who figured in the time of Thewus. With the aplomb of a Semiramis or Boadicea—"off"—she gave Monsieur Gance a stinger on the nose. While that unfortunate gentleman was mentally pondering on the efficiency of his flexor and extensor muscles, she followed up the advantage by giving him a vicious kick on the shins, which brought him to his knees. In this suppliant attitude she wrested his club from him, leaving him here du combat. In honor of the magnanimity of woman it is only just to say that Madame Marra refrained from administering the club to the editor of our French contemporary. Such is the moderation of woman. The whole episode is an unfortunate contretemps for our friend Ganze. But still, as a chivalrous gentleman, it must be a consolatory fact to him that the ladies got away with him completely. It is the most marked bravura passage we recall of Madame Marra. Chicago, April 17th. — A Tribune Washington special says: Nothing more horrible has ever been recorded than the ravages of the plague now raging in Morocco. A letter to a gentleman of this city from the United States Consul at Tangier, dated March 19th, gives the following account of suffering from famine and starvation: All who can are now running away from this most unfortunate country, where famine, cholera and typhus are more than desimating its population. At Tangier alone we are having from thirty to forty cases of typhus per day; and at the city of Morocco the daily mortality by typhus is from 200 to 250 persons. The ordal of death is complete. Parents eat their children, and at Mayador, Saff and Casselblanca the starving Arabs eat their dead. The atmosphere is impregnated with the deadly poison emanating from the thousands that are half buried and the many left out exposed to the sun and rain. European residents take every precaution; nevertheless, nearly half have already succumbed to the dreadful disease. The fatalist Molemis ridicule all such expedients to avoid the contagion, believing that all is written by God, and they must die if so decreed. Five thousand pounds of Chicago bacon is offered for sale here at nine (9) cents per pound. It is of excellent appearance and quality. This fact teaches a lesson as to the cheapening effect of railroad transportation upon all the necessaries at life. Yet we are all grooming at the extrections practiced by the "monster monopoly," forgetting how long it is since bacon cost us $0 cents a pound—poor bacon at that—and other things in proportion. — Yuma Sentinal. VALLEJO, April 15. — The Meister Bros' wine cellar, brandy distillery and residence in Green Valley, about 15 miles north of Vallejo, were totally consumed by fire last Sunday. Twenty thousand gallons of wine were lost. The cause of the fire is not given. The establishment was owned by the two widows of the Meister Brothers, both of the latter being dead. The prospect for an abundant crops crop in this vicinity is good. A class-calculating vineyard estimated that there will be 78,000 gallons of No. 1 wine made within the city limits this season. — Santa Barbara Press.
