The Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Water Company will go up to the head of the ditch to-day, to see whether a fair proportion of water is allowed to flow into their ditch. The Orange Company are now taking water from the river at a point above the Cajon ditch. The Westminster Lodge, I. O. G. T., elected the following officers last week: F. T. Harris, W. C.

The lodge has a membership of forty-one. Mr. John Gwin and family will leave for Lake county in a couple of days. Mr. Gwin will take with him a number of his teams, and in company with his brother, Washington Gwin (who is at present visiting Anaheim), will probably establish a freighting business. Should next winter open favorably, Mr. Gwin will return here and put in a crop of wheat. Our best wishes go with him, and we hope for his speedy return.

The whole thing is a silly piece of business, and one which the perpetrators ought to be aahamed of. Sunday was a "gala" day in the various Anaheim churches, if such a term is permissible in speaking of so sacred a subject. The Presbyterian Church had an accession of ten members—5 by confession, 3 by letters and 2 by letters pro tem. In the Episcopal Church there were six persons baptized and ten were confirmed by Bishop Kip. The Bishop delivered a discourse appropriate to the occasion. In the Catholic Church in the afternoon the ceremony of marriage was performed. The promoters of the South Santa Monica wharf enterprise held a meeting on Saturday afternoon at the United States Hotel. About $2,500 in new subscriptions was placed upon the rolls. Although there is enough subscribed to warrant commencement of the work at once, it was determined to postpone active operations until the sum of $17,500 is secured. Next Tuesday Messrs. D. Freman, W. H. Perry, J. D. Young, Louis Mesmer, L. Lichtenberger, J. H. Sevmour, Alfred James and others, acting as canvassing committee, will visit all of our substantial citizens and invite their subscriptions. It is thought that Los Angeles should contribute $6,000 or $7,000 at the very least toward the enterprise.—Herald. Roman Daniel, a Mexican, and George Sullivan have been committed to jail by Judge Bailey on a charge of burglary. About 10 o'clock on Friday night Mr. Gibson returned home and surprised Daniel in the house. A search of his person revealed that he had taken two medals and a ring from a drawer in the bureau. Mr. Gibson brought him to town and turned him over to the officers. To them Daniel made a statement, and the arrest of Sullivan followed. Danial says that Sullivan gave him a large bunch of keys, showed him which one would unlock Gibson's house,and told him that in the bureau he would find a small box with money in it. Sullivan also told him that the keys would unlock some of the store doors, and that he had a lot of burglar tools which he proposed to use in future operations. WEEKLY EIM GAZ ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1879. DEATH BY STARVATION. A Child Slowly Dying for Want of Proper Nourishment—A Case which Requires Immediate Attention. The readers of the Gazette are acquainted with the peculiar system of dietetics practised by the members of the Societas Fraternia. They have doubtless had a hearty laugh over the absurdity of the system, and have dismissed the subject from their minds with the mental remark that if these people chose to gorge themselves with pumpkin seed and green peas, it was nobody's business but their own. But the affair assumes a serious aspect when it is known that the children of the community are compelled to subsist on the same meagre fare. There are three children, one of them being a mere baby—about a year old. This child, when eight months old, "was weaned upon scraped apple," so Dr. Sehlesinger says. This has been its diet ever since, varied only by occasional indulgences in dried figs, oranges, raisins, or something of that sort. The result is that the child is nothing but skin and bone. It is being slowly starved to death. Those who have seen the poor little child say that it is undoubtedly dying of starvation, and that unless some nourishment is speedily given it, it cannot live. Two or three weeks ago a daughter of the Rev. Dr. Tocmba, whose residence is near to that occupied by the Society, wrote a respectful note to the mother of the child, telling her that it was undoubtedly dying of starvation, and suggesting the propriety of UTOPIAS. Great Men's Varying Ideas of the Perfect Social State London Globe. In distant ages and different countries, under varied forms of religion and government, there have appeared from time to time men of advanced intelligence and keen sympathies who have delighted to paint the imaginary schemes for ameliorating the condition of their fellow-countrymen. Though these pictures have represented visionary projects rarely brought to any practical test, yet each successive scheme has attracted considerable attention at the time, and some of them have opened out new views and presented useful suggestions to which succeeded generations of philanthropists have gladly reverted to make further advances in the same direction. All these great speculative reformers have started from the common standpoint of expressed dissatisfaction with the economical and social condition of affairs by which they were surrounded, and have raised the same complaints against the degraded condition of the poorer classes. As all their grievances, so also their remedies have been identical; and the day-dream of all alike has been an ideal commonwealth of contented citizens, bound together as one united family by the friendly ties of common interests, co-operating in joint-stock industries and sharing a general fund of public wealth. The earliest and yet by no means the least practical of these ideal states was the famous republic of Plato. The marvellous comprehension of "nowhere"—a vision of "on topoa," or the impossible island. We are told, indeed, that Plato's republic was actually copied and brought to practical trial; that, after the death of Plato, his pupils were employed by the states of Arcadia, Elits and Corridus, to arrange their government according to the model of his republic; but the fact may be doubtful, and the result is not recorded. Moore's "Utopia," on the other hand, though originally written in Latin, was received at once as an amusing fiction, speedily translated into English at home, and copied or imitated by our witty neighbors abroad. Rabalais, in France, was indebted to it for much of the humor and witty points of his satirical romance of "Gargantua and Pantegruel," and Campanella, in Italy, utilized the same allegory in his "City of the Sun," to ridicule the peripathetic philosophy and advance his own theories. Lord Byron's "Nova Atlanta" was a corresponding island, with an altered name, and the seat of a philosophical instead of a political commonwealth, where the study of the natural sciences was to be cultivated and brought to perfection, as an example to other nations, and for the diffusion of useful knowledge. Thus many a well-meaning enthusiast has planned his ideal schemes of universal benefit, and pictured in his own Utopia the perfect realization of his favorite project. And the work of the world would be dull, and life would have less enjoyment, if imagination could not in happy moments outstrip the slow progress of ambitious ventures, and waft each of us into the port of Utopia. Anaheim Literary Union. The Anaheim Literary Union met at the Presbyterian Church, Friday evening May 16. Miss Fannie Higgins, Miss Rose Campbell, Miss Sallie Hilmer, and Miss Mary Kraemer gave recitations. Their selections were well committed and well delivered. The "Leader" was read by the assistant editors, Miss Ella Mitchell and Miss Nellie Kuchell. This number of the paper was one of the best that has been presented. The articles were all well written. The sketch of the ghost hunt was witty and entertaining, and would do credit to the columns of a more pretentious paper than the "Leader." Miss Mitchell and Miss Kuchel discharged the duties of editor so well that it is to be hoped that they will be continued in that position. Mesara Henderson and Guinn gave select readings. The musical selection sung by a number of young ladies were well received. The program for the next meeting is as follow: Declamations by Measla Wm. Fish, Otto des Granges and Charles Higgina. Recitations or readings by Miss Adah des Granges, Miss Sarah Growther, Sir Thomas Moore, again, in his description of Utopia, while copying many of the characteristics of Plato's republic, insists on the sacredness of family relations and fidelity to marriage contracts as indispensable to the well-being of society. He relieves also the Spartan simplicity of his ancient prototype with many of the comforts and luxuries of modern civilization. The details of government in this happy island are carried out by a body of magistrates appointed by popular election. To this governing body is delegated the duty of distributing the instruments and apportioning the tasks of productive industry among all the inhabitants, while the wealth resulting from their united and easy labors goes to form a public fund, in which all may equally participate. There can be no want or scarcity, for every citizen must work; yet no fatigue or weakness, for the hours of labor do not exceed six a day. There is no use for money, as food and all the necessaries are supplied from the common stock. Meals are laid out in public, for all to share alike, and they are rendered more enjoyable by the accompaniment of sweet strains of music and the scents of delicate by which they were surrounded, and have raised the same complaints against the degraded condition of the poorer classes. As all their grievances, so also their remedies have been identical; and the day-dream of all alike has been an ideal commonwealth of contented citizens, bound together as one united family by the friendly ties of common interests, co-operating in joint-stock industries and sharing a general fund of public wealth. The earliest and yet by no means the least practical of these ideal states was the famous republic of Plato. The marvellous comprehensiveness of his scheme of government was worthy of the pupil of Socrates, and the first heathen philosopher believed and taught the immortality of the soul. The greater part of his treatise might have been written for the present age; and, indeed, some of his problems are still moist joints of modern discussion. Starting from the assumption that all existing states are divided against themselves, by reason that the poor are ever at variance with the rich, he proceeds to sketch an ideal state of perfect unity, in which no elements of discord can exist. There shall be neither rich persons nor poor, for the state shall provide equally for all; neither shall the exquisiteness of birth nor other fortuitous inequalities be allowed to break the easy bonds by which all citizens, both male and female, may be bound together in one harmonious commonwealth. Each newborn child, regarded as a unit of the body politic, shall be taken from its parents and brought up under the supervision and direction of the state, in regard to its education, employment and future settlement in life. Though no accumulation of private property may be allowed, yet the citizens shall be divided into classes, according to their respective education and abilities. It is only when he deals with the question of marriage that the ancient coarser ideas offend the modern respect for the sanctity of domestic relations.

After full deliberation the Southern Pacific Railway Company have decided to suspend work on the extension of their road East until November next. We regret that the prime need of Southern California, a connection with the Mississippi valley by a railway below the snow belt, will thus be deferred. From the very moment such a connection shall be established through the crossing of the tracks of the Arizona Pacific and Atchison, Tupeka and Santa Fe roads, this section will begin to take on new life and energy. It is pleasant to know, however, that the connection cannot be postponed long, and the proprietors of Los Angeles orange groves and vineyards may well possess their souls in patience in anticipation of the good times ahead.—Herald.

The sketch of the ghost hunt was witty and entertaining, and would do credit to the columns of a more pretentious paper than the "Leader." Miss Mitchell and Miss Kuchel discharged the duties of editor so well that it is to be hoped that they will be continued in that position. Messrs Henderson and Guinn gave select readings. The musical selections sung by a number of young ladies were well received. The programme for the next meeting is as follow: Declamations by Measla Wm. Fish, Otto des Granges and Charles Higgins. Recitations or readings by Miss Adah des Granges, Miss Carrie Seibert and Miss Sarah Crowther.

Affirmative, Mr. Halliday and Mr. Henderson; Negative, Mr. Guinn and Mr. Payne. Society adjourned to meet Friday, May 23. A correspondent of the Neue Zuricher Zeitung, writing from Zigdidi, in the Government of the Cancunia, on the 4th of April, describes a shocking massacre of Jews which occurred in the village of Satchechi, in that neighborhood. At the beginning of the month the body of a child was found in a wood, and seven Jews of the place were accused by the Christian villagers of having killed and secreted it for their Easter sacrifice. They were arrested and taken before the District Judge, but immediately dismissed, as it was testified by a medical witness that the child had died from natural causes, and that the wounds found on the body were the work of wild animals. Rejoiced at the issue of their trial, the Israelites of the village assembled at the house of one of their number to celebrate the event by a dinner; but in the midst of their fencing they were surprised by a party of Christian villagers who burst into the house in hand, killed six of the inmates on the spot, and grievously wounded many more. The narrator of the incident alleges that the print of the Greek Church of Satchechi was the instigator of this act of foreshadowing fanatism.

No woman need be very tired or very busy, for we find ready made garments at such reasonable figures that persons of most moderate means can afford to purchase. Linen suits are, of course, a thing of the past, but in their place for general wear, we find neat wash costumes made half tight jacket, overskirt and underskirt, marked as low as six or seven dollars. The patterns are in great variety—checks, phisa, stripes, polka dots, and small floral figures; colors are equally diversified; both grave and gay, and ground works dark as well as light. At higher prices costumes are of an almost monile cloth or cobalta, to any nothing of figured jeansets for indoor wear, while in white, costumes are in all gradations, from the lawn morning dress at $3 to elaborate dotted plain and figured muslim finished with Breton lace and bows of ribbons. Soft, thin wool costumes commence at $14. Ulsters in thin mixed wool are excellent for hard usage consequent upon summer traveling, etc., and these commence at $5 a very nice one costing $10. Mohair ulsters begin at $4.50; linen ulsters at $3. Nevertheless there are many ladies who wish to make their dresses at home or have them made, so I will add a word or two in regard to new and desirable designs. The Duena princess dress may be mentioned among those as quite quite elegant and having the advantage of being adapted both to silk, wool and wash material. Trimmed skirts are very fashionable and here we find the Florimal Chinese Spiritualism. The spirits of the universe are directly invoked by the Chinese, chiefly in cases of illness. In matters which involve merely peculiar interests, such motions as planchette and various other indirect ways of consulting the oracle are preferred, being at once simpler and less costly to the inquiry. A man who wishes to learn the probable result of an enterprise he has in view, will drop into some rooftop temple and will lay a small bee upon the altar. The attendant priest lights a fresh candle or a new stink of incense; and the suppliant, after making the usual series of prostrations, reverently takes with both hands a kidney shaped piece of wood which has been split into two halves so that each half shall have one flat and one convex side. These are raised above the head and dropped to the ground before the altar; and from the combination which results, namely,(1) two convexes,(2) two flats, or (3) a flat and a convex, a propitious or unpropitious answer is deduced, being (1) negative, (2) indifferent, (3) affirmative. The more elaborate method, or that form known in Europe as Spiritualism, is to engage the services of a medium, generally a Taoist priest, whose body is for the time being occupied by the god. This state of divine "possession" is brought about in the following manner. The medium takes a seat, while his brother priests or confederates arrange the usual altar, light candles, burn incense and invoke the presence of the deity required. After a short interval one of them advances toward the medium and performs certain movements, apparently messier passes, by which a state of unconsciousness is California Wines and Handles.

Five years thin mixed wool are excellent for hard usage consequent upon summer traveling, etc., and these commence at $8 a very nice one costing $10. Mohair ulsters begin at $4.50; linen ulsters at $3. Nevertheless there are many ladies who wish to make their dresses at home or have them made, so I will add a word or two in regard to new and desirable designs. The Deona princess dress may be mentioned among these as quite quite elegant and having the advantage of being adapted both to silk, wool and wash material. Trimmed skirts are very fashionable and here we find the Florimel train especially suited to handsome fabrics. The Nelida basquine or Valeria basque would give a distinguished finish. The Birena is an excellent model for an overskirt of wash material, while in the way of a half fitting jacket, the Serena can be recommended. MILLINERY. Dainty dress bonnets are sometimes made of white or colored canton crape, trimmed with fine flowers and Breton lace, ribbon or satin. Satin or satin ribbon, indeed, we see employed perpetually. There is a rage for it and in dressy costumes it is constantly substituted for silk. Fine black straws are also trimmed with black or white Breton lace and flowers, and black lace bonnets similarly finished are made on frames. Mixed straws, in colors to match the fashionable mixed goods, are greatly in vogue, but not to the exclusion of brown or beige colored. Middle aged ladies, for ordinary wear, select the English walking hat, or if it is desired to show the forehead, shapes flaring-to-one side, or pretily curving around the face and without strings may be substituted. Young ladies wear turbans, shapes fancifully caught on the sides, or round brims coming low over the forehead and rising at the back where rich boquets of flowers fill in the vacancy. OUT DOOR GARMENTS. There is quite a rage for beige and yellow shades—especially the former. The fancy crops out everywhere in millinery costumes, and in out door garments, for there is a run on beige colored cloth annealed and mantelolets commencing at about six dollars and going up to twenty. They are worn with costumes of any kind. These ideas, however, do not preclude the sale of black silk and cashmere garments more or less richly trimmed with French or black Breton lace fringes and jet. Leading stores ask enormous prices for these latter styles; but they can be made to order at comparatively moderate figures. BEWARE OF WIGS. Should an innocent minded individual (a country merchant for example) visit our city let him not fall a victim to the charms of some fair lady, who apparently in endowed by her sisters with an abundant mass of Titian red hair. I feel it my duty to state plainly that that unsophisticated looking creature wears a wig. Others who don't wear wigs are fresh from the dyer's hands, and the question might be proposed for a debating society, which of the two methods of looking fashionable is to be preferred. Why red hair (also called gold) should be fashionable and which of the two roads to distinction should be taken, is beyond me to determine. THE LATEST MANIA. Homilies were edited all over the country on the folly of a young lady who married more elaborate method, or that form known in Europe as Spiritualism, is to engage the services of a medium generally a Tacist priest, whose body is for the time being occupied by the god. This state of divine "possession" is brought about in the following manner. The medium takes a seat, while his brother priests or confederates arrange the usual altar, light candles, burn incense and invoke the presence of the deity required. After a short interval one of them advances toward the medium and performs certain movements, apparently mesmeric passes, by which a state of unconsciousness is induced, whereupon the god takes possession of the temporarily unoccupied body. From that moment every word uttered by the medium is held to be divinely inspired, or more properly, the very words of the god, who simply uses the medium as his mouthpiece. —Fraser's Magazine. How the French get their Perfumes Liquid perfumes are not usually the products of distillation, although lavender and one or two other flowers yield more of their perfume by that process than any other. The method called by the French enfeurage, a word for which absorption is the inadequate synonyme, is used with most blossoms, and gives those pomades which are so highly esteemed and so valuable. The great French perfumers at Grasse, Cannes and Nico employ hundreds of women, whose business is to tend the great frames thinly spread with layers of clarified grease strewn with flower petals, renewed every day. When the season is over the grease is treated with alcohol, which takes up the essential oil containing the perfume, but leaves the fixed oil of the grease free. Heliotropes, cassia or acacia, blossoma, jaamine and many other flowers are all treated in this way. As yet this method of extracting the perfume of flowers is not used to any extent in America, but it probably will be as soon as Florida takes the place which it should occupy as a vast flower farm. There is no reason why this coral peninsula with its perfect climate should not rival Southern France, produce nerol by the hundred weight to say nothing of the otto of rose and magnolia pomade. —Boston Transcript. A chemical analysis of an orange recently made in Boston by James R. Nichols shows that the pulp contains 91 per cent. of water, 6 of sugar, and 1 of acid. The sugar is half grape and half cane; the acid half citric and half malic. The ash left after drying and burning the entire fruit contains 29 per cent. of potash, 23 of lime, 14 of phosphoric acid, 8 of soda, 7 of magnesium, besides a few other materials in smaller proportions. The ash indicates the substances taken from the soil by the fruit, and needed in manure to keep the land in good condition for long continued production. Mr. Nichols says: A combination in which the potash and phosphoric acid elements predominate will prove best adapted as fertilizers for orange orchards. A combination like this I will venture to suggest: A large quantity of small means, the loss of severely felt.

'Tis strange how example becomes contagious since the fact has become known that three printers woke up one morning to find themselves winners each of five thousand dollars in the Louisiana State Lottery. I have received, I would not like to say how many letters on the subject. Each and all I advise with the wisdom of an owl, but what's the use? So my good friends if you are determined to risk your two dollars on a ticket, preachments on my part are not likely to cause you to desist. If you don't win that five or fifty thousand dollars, you'll always think you might have done no. Do not understand me as decaying the Louisiana State Lottery in particular, for beyond question its dealings are fair, and if you must take a risk, you certainly run less rich in that than in any institution of the kind. Ladies sometimes write asking me also to select different articles for them, etc. I am always happy to be of service, but not always having time at command, I have founded—as is becoming Agency conducted by Man Ellen Lamar, 877 Broadway. She devotes herself exclusively to the works of out-of-town residents, and is an example of what may be done by integrity and energy. In person or agents she often visits five or six leading houses before a selection is made, and time having the entire city at command she has the largest opportunities for choice, for often times an establishment which is insufficient in one department, is weak in another. Canadians with primes are favored on application and letter receive careful answers. Lucy Carter. Another instance of the statement "New Jersey justice" is given. Kendall Senator J. B. Curnish, convicted of unlawful to defend Delaware county of $10,000, and J. H. Swanney, on Chief of Police of Philadelphia, convicted of raising the county bill, even continued to one year in the State Prison. The ash left after drying and burning the entire fruit contains 29 per cent. of potash, 23 of lime, 14 of phosphoric acid, 8 of soda, 7 of magnesia, besides a few other materials in smaller proportions. The ash indicates the substances taken from the soil by the fruit, and needed in manure to keep the land in good condition for long continued production. Mr. Nichols says: A combination in which the potash and phosphoric acid elements predominate will prove best adapted as fertilizers for orange orchards. A combination like this I will venture to suggest: Mortality of potash... 500 Bee Survivalphosphorus of lime... 500 Bee Nitrate of soda... 100 Bee This mixture distributed over an orchard of 500 bearing trees must afford profitable returns if the soil is poor or exhausted from long bearing. It will unquestionably be well, when mulch is used in orchards, to change the humic acid by the addition to the pile of quicklime. Two bushels of recently burned lime to the cord of mulch will in a large degree neutralize the acid, giving a soluble humate of lime, and render the compost more effective. Lime must always be applied to soils in its canatic state, as the carbonate which rapidly forms from the absorption of carbonic acid from the air is an insoluble substance. The Protestant element in Chicago seems to be thoroughly united in a new movement toward enforcing an observance of Sunday, and an equally strong opposition is manifesting itself. The latter has the advantage because there are no laws on the subject, and legislation would be necessary in order to stop Sunday business and pleasure. The剧院 are always open on Sunday evening except McVicker's and he has announced that he will follow the custom next summer. There is no blindness to the side of liquors, and many kinds of stems are open every day in the week. Six years ago the question of Sunday closing was made the issue in the city election, and the affirmative candidates were buried under a treemand majority. Since then the politicians have kept on the safe side. The Benicia New Era says: One day last week one of the fishermen caught about two hundred calves in a drift. He pulled in on his net until he filled the boat, and then he strong about fifty on a line and tied them behind. The net was not empty yet, and so he hailed it up on the beach and obtained about twenty-five more, making it all about two hundred fish.
