WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY JUNE 28, 1879. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette at the places designated. They are authorized to receive money in payment for subscriptions or advertisements: WESTMINSTER ... ROBERT STRONG GARDEN GROVE ... CON HOWE ORANGE ... N. D. HARWOOD TUSTIN ... C. TUSTIN BAN JUAN CAPISTRANO ... R. EGAN NORWALK ... J. E. CALDWELL SILVERADO ... J. C. HILL TRAVELING AGENT ... A. T. PERDON A CITY'S SAD PLIGHT. In the flush times of 1870, 71 and 72, enormous and costly improvements were made in the city of Elizabeth, N. J., improvements suitable for a city of 150,000 inhabitants, whereas Elizabeth never had more than 28,000. The result of such a rockless expenditure is that the city has now a debt of six million. The total valuation of city property is only ten millions, and the tax levy this year is three dollars and fifty-six cents on every hundred dollars worth of property. None of the municipal officers, teachers, firemen, or police have received a cent of pay this year, and matters have reached such a pass that numbers of citizens refuse to pay any more taxes, declaring that the city's creditors can take the property and do what they please with it. The city has now reached such a point that property owners cannot sell, trade, or hardly give away their property. No new residents come to establish homes or start in business, because no one can know what the taxes are liable to be. Houses, that only two years ago rented for $500 per annum are now offered to tenants for $16 per month. First-class residences that then commanded $900 per annum now go begging at $300. In the best part of the city a fine four-story brick house, twenty-five feet front, with all modern improvements, that cost $18,000 to build six years ago, rents now for $500 per annum. It is proposed to get out of the MR. MILLER'S COMPLAINT. Editors Press: Of late, as in the past, our "New Italy" is doing well (on paper). I chance to be one of the beekeepers written up by the Anaheim Gazette, and copied by the Rural. At this date I have lost half of my apiary of starvation, and the Gazette is publishing such statements about our country, generally. There is only a slight difference, truly, between shipping honey by tons, and having 50 per cent. of the apiary already dead, and the remainder to be taken out of the deserts to the oases that are irrigated, or they go the same road. Will our worthy Gazette please tell us if his agricultural abundance around Anaheim was not reported by the same reporter who wrote the bee yarn? Here in Old Los Nietos, only about 10 per cent. of small grain is being harvested at; about 20 per cent. hayed at; the remainder goes for sheep range—and this is what the land is only fitted for. After this year, this new Italy will gain her true position, and will be known abroad and at home what her true resources and accidents are. Extreme extremities—are our new Italy, most truly in an agricultural view. This year winds up the "broad gauge farmers," these little oases here and there, scattered in this semi-desert, will ever be an honor to the Pacific coast. Right here in Nietos, since I have resided here, I can see where there has been $100,000 hard cash thrown away by planting and sowing where nature's laws are against men. Experience keeps a dear school; but, etc. Yet as fine crops as I ever saw have grown here. It is the exception and the accident, not the rule that we get paid to plow other than irrigated lands. One of my neighbors bored a well 230 feet deep and found at that depth dirt as dry as a brick, and a Minnesota farmer spent $22,000 practising deep tillage on that same soil. I say, go in boys! That is the way I did; you will learn after a while.—Geo. Kay Miller, Los Nietos, Cal. We find the above communication in the last number of the Rural Press, and perhaps it would not be improper to submit a brief rejoinder. If Mr. Miller had been a constant reader of the Gazette he would not have made himself amenable to the serious charge of going off half-cocked. He would have seen repeated statements in this paper of the disastrous effects of the drought. We have never sought to conceal the too-apparent fact that apiarians and farmers have suffered greatly this year, and, since the failure of the spring rains, we have never claimed that there was an agricultural abundance around Anaheim, The New Politics. The political division been greatly modified before there are to be no tricts. Every county in a Superior Judge, with tions: Yuba and Sutter Francisco is to elect two San Joaquin, Los Anas Clara and Alameda two we now have three railways: First Railroad District Butte, Calaveras, Colrado, Humboldt, Lake Modoc, Napa, Nevada Sacramento, Shasta, Sonoma, Sutter, Tehan Yuba. Second Railroad District Marin and San Mateo. Third Railroad District Costa, Fresno, Inyo, Mariposa, Merced, Benito, San Bernardino quin, San Luis Obispo Clara, Santa Cruz, Stumne and Ventura. The Legislature has change in any way that tricts. The other districts are the members of organization who are four Controller as Chair elected from the which are as follows: First Congressional cisco. Second Congressional Costa, Alameda, San Amador, El Dorado Nevada, Alpine and Third Congressional noma, Napa, Lakes Yuba, Sierra, Butte ma, Colusa, Mendoc Shasta, Siskiyou, K fourth Congressional Los Angeles, San Baja San Luis Obispo, Tern Kern, Merced, Mar Clara, Santa Cruz owners cannot sell, trade, or hardly give away their property. No new residents come to establish homes or start in business, because no one can know what the taxes are liable to be. Houses, that only two years ago rented for $500 per annum are now offered to tenants for $16 per month. First-class residences that then commanded $900 per annum now go begging at $300. In the best part of the city a fine four-story brick house, twenty-five feet front, with all modern improvements, that cost $18,000 to build six years ago, rents now for $500 per annum. It is proposed to get out of the dilemma by issuing long time bonds, bearing a low rate of interest. It is thought the city's creditors will prefer to accept these bonds rather than take the property of the citizens in payment of the city's debts. Silver at Par. Mr. B. F. Seibert, Cashier of the Bank of Anaheim, has received a circular from the Pacific Bank of San Francisco, which says: "The Assistant Treasurer of the United States is now redeeming subsidiary silver in lawful money, thus placing this coin on a par with gold and standard dollars." "The necessity for banks keeping separate silver accounts having disappeared, the clearing house has discontinued silver exchanges. "In view of this we beg to notify you that from this date this bank will decline to receive deposits in silver, and you are requested to adjust your accounts so that before July 1st proximo your account will be exclusively gold." A San Francisco exchange of June 24th, speaking of the redemption of subsidiary silver, says: In addition to $1,000 in Half Dollars received over the counter at the office of the Sub-Treasurer yesterday, that officer took in $800,000 from the Anglo-California Bank and the Bank of California, and paid for the same in Currency, including about 40 per cent. in Currency exchange. To-day the National Gold Bank and Trust Company sent in $10,000 in subsidiary Silver to be exchanged into full legal tender money, and about $6,000 was received in small sums from outside parties. One gentleman presented $5000 in Dimes, but as it was impossible to count the amount at the time, he was told to call again to-morrow. The City Railroad Companies want the privilege of turning in from $1,000 to $1,200 a day in Dimes. No one wishes to take Standard Dollars in exchange for Half Dollars, and only small amounts have been paid out. This morning one gentleman inquired if Half Dollars would be given in exchange for Standard Dollars, and, on being answered in the affirmative, presented $20 in Standard Dollars, and took away a similar amount in Half Dollars. Mr. Sherman expects to get at least $500,000 more in Half Dollars, which will increase his stock to $3,000,000. He anticipates that there will then be at least $1,000,000 left in circulation. There is considerable Silver in the city treasury and also in the State treasury, which will be sent in soon. Mr. Sherman has sent on an order for owners cannot sell, trade, or hardly give away their property. No new residents come to establish homes or start in business, because no one can know what the taxes are liable to be. Houses, that only two years ago rented for $500 per annum are now offered to tenants for $16 per month. First-class residences that then commanded $900 per annum now go begging at $300. In the best part of the city a fine four-story brick house, twenty-five feet front, with all modern improvements, that cost $18,000 to build six years ago, rents now for $500 per annum. It is proposed to get out of the dilemma by issuing long time bonds, bearing a low rate of interest. It is thought the city's creditors will prefer to accept these bonds rather than take the property of the citizens in payment of the city's debts. We find the most recent last number of the Eural Press, and perhaps it would not be improper to submit a brief rejoinder. If Mr. Miller had been a constant reader of the Gazette he would not have made himself amenable to the serious charge of going off half-cocked. He would have seen repeated statements in this paper of the disastrous effects of the drouth. We have never sought to conceal the too-apparent fact that apistists and farmers have suffered greatly this year, and, since the failure of the spring rains, we have never claimed that there was an agricultural abundance around Anaheim, or that the prospects for farmers or bee-men were otherwise than gloomy. We have repeatedly stated that the vineyardists were the only persons upon whom fortune seemed to smile this year, and that the crop of grapes would be large, with every hope for a continuation of the present demand for California wine. We repeat that, if Mr. Miller had read the Gazette conscientiously, as he ought to have done, he would have been familiar with these facts and would not have been betrayed into charging us with publishing statements not strictly in conformity with actual facts. At the time the bee business was written up in the Gazette, the prospect was good for a favorable season, and the present distress in the apiaries was unthought of and not anticipated. There is, however, some food for thought in Mr. Miller's letter. He has been unfortunate this year—has, in fact, "soured" on the country, as his altogether too sweeping language readily indicates. It is the height of nonsense to allude to Los Angeles county as a semi-dessert; and the charge is so absurd as to require no refutation. Taking the lands that are capable of irrigation, and those lands which, by reason of natural moisture, require no artificial watering, there is comparatively little worthless land left in the county. The soil is all right; the trouble is with the drouths and the consequent scarcity of water. But these drawbacks are not peculiar to California; a dozen other States are to-day suffering from the same causes. You can't gather grapes from thorns, nor figs from thistles. Neither can you expect to reap a crop from worthless land, or land upon which nature has set its ban. There are other places besides Los Nietos where money has been thrown away in the vain attempt to cultivate land, which under no possible circumstances could be made to yield a profitable crop. Mr. Miller's adaptation of the pugilistic phrase is apt. "Go in and win." Mr. Miller intimates that he "went in;" and it appears he gained experience, if not fortune. INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE. Judge Stephens Requested to Become a Candidate for Superior Judge—He Consents. [From the Herald.] At the request of Dr. W. W.

Andrews, a Philadelphia merchant, lost the sight of his left eye twenty years ago, and physicians told him that there was no cure. The useless member gave him no trouble until 1877, but thereafter it was so painful that he writhed on the floor until the attack was over. Many of the best oculists made careful examinations, and were unable to ascertain the nature of the disease. Late ly he put himself into the hands of a Philadelphia physician, of whose investigation he says: "He blistered me around the eye to draw out the inflammation, and at last he said 'I know what it is not; it is not inflamma tion and that is one point gained.' He drew out a diseased tooth and cut out a piece of the jaw bone and did some probing; finally he said: 'It does not come from a tooth nerve, and that is another point gained.' He dosed me with quinine until he was satisfied, and then he said; 'It is not miasma, and that is another point gained.' Last Thursday he put me into a darkened room, and throwing an indescribably bright light into my eye, looked into it for two mortal hours. At last he exclaimed: 'I have the secret.' Looking in through the eye he could see a live cysticercus, or embryo tape worm." This was the first case of the kind in America, and was exhibited to most of the physicians of Philadelphia. An operation with a knife removed the creature. Weston has been proclaimed "Champion Pedestrian of the World." He won the international walking match in London, making 550 miles in six days. The best previous record was 542 miles. Rowell, the English pedestrian, will undoubtedly challenge Weston. A boiler exploded near Allentown, Pa. on Saturday. Seven men were killed, and three others were badly hurt. The bodies of the killed were fearfully mutilated. The New Political Divisions. The political divisions of the State have been greatly modified by the new Constitution. There are to be no more judicial districts. Every county in the State is to elect a Superior Judge, with the following exceptions: Yuba and Sutter are to elect one; San Francisco is to elect twelve, and Sacramento, San Joaquin, Los Angeles, Sonoma, Santa Clara and Alameda two each. In addition, we now have three railroad districts, as follows: First Railroad District—Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Colusa, Del Norte, El Dorado, Humboldt, Lake, Lassen, Mendocino, Modoc, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Yolo and Yuba. Second Railroad District—San Francisco, Marin and San Mateo. Third Railroad District—Alameda, Contra Costa, Fresno, Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, Mariposa, Merced, Mono, Monterey, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Stanislaw, Tulare, Tuolumne and Ventura. The Legislature has the power to alter or change in any way that it sees fit these districts. The other district officers to be elected are the members of the Board of Equalization, who are four in number, with the Controller as Chairman. They are to be elected from the Congressional Districts, which are as follows: First Congressional District—San Francisco. Second Congressional District—Contra Costa, Alameda, San Joaquin, Calaveras, Amador, El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, Alpine and Tuolumne. Third Congressional District—Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Lake, Solano, Yolo, Sutter, Yuba, Sierra, Butte, Plumas, Lassen, Tehama, Colusa, Mendocino, Humboldt, Trinity, Shasta, Siskiyou, Klamath and Del Norte. Fourth Congressional District—San Diego, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Tulare, Monterey, Freano, Kern, Merced, Mariposa, Stanislaw, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Mono and San Francisco Markets.

No pure natural wine preserves its good qualities longer than claret; it usually arrives at perfection in periods ranging from 3 to 20 years，governed by the vintage，character and grade. But no precise time can be fixed for its culmination; much depends upon its body，其 dryness，其 saccharine and other component parts to produce a perfect development in bottle.

Fourth Congressional District—San Diego, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Tulare, Monterey, Fresno, Kern, Merced, Mariposa, Stanislaus, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Mono and Inyo. The members of the Board of Equalization are to come from these districts, while the Railroad Commissioners are assigned to larger and different groups of counties. The Third Railroad District takes in more than the Fourth Congressional District. The Second Railroad District is larger by two counties than the First Railroad District very nearly embraces the Second and Third Congressional Districts. These divisions within divisions will require a great deal of forming and re-forming on the part of the State Conventions. Having made the nominations for State officers, they will have to split up, first into three parts, to nominate Railroad Commissioners, and then into four parts, to nominate members of the Board of Equalization and members of Congress. In going through this new political manual, no doubt mistakes will be committed. Delegations may find themselves frequently in the wrong shop. Difference of Opinion. The comments of the New York papers on the President's veto of the Supplementary Judicial bill are widely diverse. The Tribune (Republican) says: The veto message is short and sharp. It cuts like a knife, and is so plain and direct that every citizen will now understand that the issue between the President and Congress has been narrowed. The President's curt sentences go to the root of the matter. They arraign the members of Congress as law breakers. The Worldl (Democratic) says: The veto is such a piece of superserviceable partisanship as might almost suffice to justify Congress not only in voting immediate adjournment, but in refusing once for all to pass any Judicial bill at all without those sections of the pending bill which have been indecently denounced by the President, as intended to curtail his means of seeing the law faithfully executed. The Times (Republican) says: The President acted wisely. He has vindicated the judicial integrity of his decisions; has extricated the Republican party from the false position in which it was placed by the course of unfriendly Senators, and has added to the embarrassment which the Democrats by their partisan madness have brought upon themselves. New York, June 22.—The Syracuse Standard says of the recent meeting of clergymen and others at Bishop Huntington's Episcopal residence, to carry out the measures initiated NATURAL CLARET. No Wine Capable of Yielding such Permanent Satisfaction. No pure natural wine preserves its good qualities longer than claret; it usually arrives at perfection in periods ranging from 3 to 20 years, governed by the vintage, character and grade. But no precise time can be fixed for its culmination; much depends upon its body, its dryness, its saccharine and other component parts to produce a perfect development in bottle. When its maturity is reached it should be brought into consumption, for although it may keep good for years longer, yet there is a possibility of its becoming tart and losing its fine flavor and bouquet by too great age. The genuine characteristics of fine natural claret can only be determined by a refined pure palate not impregnated by seasoned food, strong drink or any foreign flavor; and when estimating comparative excellence it should be made from a high standard in order to judge of the great disparities in the qualities of the wine, for although the medium growths and table wines bear close resemblance in flavor and characteristics to the first growths, yet neither treatment nor age can ever bring them to the standard of the latter. The most healthful wines as beverages are those that are free from the addition of alcohol—natural wines—possessing vinous body. The best of these for general use is good, sound, natural claret—the finer and older wine the more perfect will be its tonic properties. An instance recently occurred confirmatory of this opinion; Two gentlemen suffering at the same time from inflammatory action, which every kind of alcoholic beverage aggravated, accidentally drank some very fine claret, and found two or three glasses of it daily produced a most beneficial effect on their depressed state of health, in neither of which cases would strong wines have had any good effect. It is a fact generally admitted that in the daily use of wine an adherence of one single kind is necessary in order to insure the most healthful effects, and it is, therefore, desirable that people may be educated to this habit. Although a change in our drink as well as diet is sometimes necessary, yet for every-day consumption, those will find claret above all other wines the best. No wine is capable of yielding such permanent satisfaction and pleasure to the health and palate as a fine Bordeaux red wine, nor is there any more effective antidote to intemperance than the daily use of this wine as a beverage. An idea is current in this country that claret wines are acid, and therefore unhealthful, which opinion is entertained by some medical practitioners and others unaccustomed to the use of this beverage; but the highest medical and scientific authorities in Europe and here deny this, and aver that the daily use of claret tends to preserve health and prolong life, is less heating and more stomachic than any other, and best suited to those who are easily excited and in whom the stronger wines produce febrile action. "People who suffer The Times (Republican) says: The President acted wisely. He has vindicated the judicial integrity of his decisions; has criticized the Republican party from the false position in which it was placed by the course of unfriendly Senators, and has added to the embarrassment which the Democrats by their partisan madness have brought upon themselves. New York, June 22.—The Syracuse Standard says of the recent meeting of clergymen and others at Bishop Huntington's Episcopal residence, to carry out the measures initiated last February against the Oneida community: The committee has taken counsel with some of the best lawyers in this part of the State, and since February have been quietly at work collecting testimony to be used in legal proceedings. Samples of the literature of the Communists at Wallingford and Oneida which have been circulating through the medium of the United States, mails have been sent to the Committee, and these are bad enough to be covered by the name of obscene. Other testimony of a more positive character has also been obtained, it is said, which stamps the Oneida Community as far worse in their practices than the polygamists of Utah. On this latter testimony the arrest of Noyes is to be made, and his trial will be pushed by gentlemen prepared to get at the bottom of the thing. New York, June 23.—The Tribune concludes its usual Monday review of the business situation and prospects throughout the country as follows: While professional workingmen in Congress and in political conventions are bawling about their sufferings and wrongs, the actual workingmen are to-day more fully employed and at better wages—the purchasing power of money considered—than at any period since the disbandment of the armies at the close of the war. Cincinnati, June 24.—A Frankfort, Ky., dispatch says: Saturday night at Sand Riffle, twelve miles distant, a party of unknown men attacked the house of Samuel Falkner, severely wounding Falkner as he ran from the house. They then set fire to the dwelling which was consumed with its inmates, Harvey Russell, aged 17, who was also shot, and two children of Falkner, aged 11 and 3 years. No cause is given for this brutal affair. Matters at Maricopa are rather quiet, but the building up of the town goes on apace. Col. J. M. Barney has completed a large warehouse built of lumber, in the most substantial manner, and is about building a large store with commodious offices and sheds. The erection of other substantial lumber buildings indicates that he is not alone in a belief in the solid future of the town. A large warehouse for army use is being built after the pattern and size of the railroad company's warehouse. Fifty-five thousand feet of lumber are to be used in its construction. —Yuma Sentinel.
