The Los Angeles Journal is informed that parties who have been washing for gold in San Gabriel canyon, report having found pure horn silver in chunks worth 50 or 75 cents each, and have gone further up the lead. It seems to us that when nuggets of gold valued at $400 are found by merely tickling over the sands with a pick, and pure silver lays on the surface ready to be picked up, that no one need to complain of not be-ing able to find a remunerative job. The Herald observes that the low price commanded by barley this year is really dis-piriting to our farmers. The misfortune will not be without its lesson. One-fourth of a wheat crop will pay expenses, and we have hundreds of thousands of acres of land in this county on which this staple, for which there is a demand in every market of the world, can be grown to perfection, four years out of five, regard being had to the seed best adapted to this section. There is money in wheat and not a penny in barley. It may be added that Los Angeles wheat sold in the San Francisco market the other day for $1 654. In response to a request made by the Board of Supervisors, asking for a legal opinion as to the offices to be filled at the coming election in this county, District Attorney Thom says: "I believe, and give it as my opinion, that all elective offices, State, county and township, are to be chosen on the first Wednesday in September, 1879, except School Trustees, one of which must be elected on the last Saturday in June of each year, etc., and except Supervisors, only two of which are to be elected in Los Angeles county, to wit: One from the Second and one from the Fourth District, as per classification hereinbefore alluded to."

The excursion train which arrived in Anaheim about six o'clock on Monday night brought about one hundred and fifty persons to attend the Republican meeting. The audience was swelled by the townspeople and delegations from surrounding villages, and there were probably about six hundred people in attendance. Geo. C. Perkins, the Republican nominee for Governor, found many personal friends in Anaheim—men who had known him years ago in the northern counties, and his brief stay was made pleasant in talking over old times with them. As he stood on the rostrum in the evening in the full glare of the Drummond light, his bluff, frank appearance and manner were noted and favorably commented upon by friends and foes alike. His address was listened to attentively and many of his points met with the hearty approval of the audience. The other speakers were Messrs. Pacheco, Mansfield, Knight and Carrillo, and at the conclusion of the speeches an adjournment was had to the dining room of the hotel, where dancing was indulged in until midnight. Another Republican meeting, to be addressed by A. L. Hart, nominee for Attorney General, and Major McArthur, will be held in Anaheim on next Wednesday evening. Press Convention. The Southern California Press Association met in the Gazette editorial rooms on Mon. The Spiritual Brotherhood in California. [From the "Medium and Daybreak," (London) June 20th.] Brother Burns:—It is a good while since you received a lime from me, but I have not forgotten your urgent request on leaving England, to drop you a line occasionally. I have just been out pruning our orange nursery trees previous to budding on to them the famous variety known as the Sweet Mediterranean; and as our custom is, we retire into the cool chambers of our abode in the heat of the day, and find it an agreeable occupation to sit down and pass a line to distant ones who are enlisted in other phases of the world's reforms, but in the one grand army corps of progress, of which we claim to be humble members, all officered by competent generals, who rank above us in the unseen, and whose sway and control, though silent, is none the less potent, complete and irresistible. Our State (California) has just past through the throes of political strife. Monopolies of gigantic proportions and subtile powers have been waging a war of conquest upon human liberty, and have been exerting the utmost endeavor to conquer and keep in utter subjection the honest, hard-working toiler, over whom, by the power of wealth, they have reigned with a more despotic sway than any European power can boast of for many years; and the late contest has been an uprising of the mighty power of the people, who, equal to the grand occasion, have thrown off the voke of the usurpers and follow that principle whitherever it shall direct? But I must go to other duties; for the present, good-bye. With ardent wishes for your real success in all things, and a continuous realization of the presence of that Power which has carried you through many a stormy sea of trouble in the past, I remain, ever yours in spirit, G. R. Hinde. Fraternia, Anaheim, Southern California, U. S. A., May 13, 1879. [We gave an extract from the newspaper article alluded to by Mr. Hinde last week, and it has interested many readers. The foregoing letter will revive the statements made therein, and deepen the impression. The same inspiration is with us here, as the prospectus of "The Industrial and Patriotic Good Wine and Fruit Food Guild," published in the Medium, No. 473, shows. There it was urged that the time for action had arrived, talk being no longer able to influence to useful results. We will be glad of further information of Mr. Hinde, particularly on the question of Food. Will he give us an account of may, a week's dietary in the various seasons of the year? This is an age of great problems. All can help to solve them.—Ed. Medium.] Free Love and Vegetarian Lunacy. [From the Glen's Falls (N.Y.) Republican, June 24.] We publish elsewhere the salient points of testimony brought out on the trial of the notorious Dr. Schlesinger at Anaheim, California, on the 24th of May. Dr. Schlesinger, it will be remembered, was a prominent figure here and at Fort Edward last summer. The Southern California Press Association met in the Gazette editorial rooms on Monday night. Present—Scipio Craig, of the Colton Semi-Tropic; J. C. Littlefield, F.B. Fanning and Aaron Smith, of the Los Angeles Journal; D.M. Berry and G.W. Gould, of the Los Angeles Commercial; W.W. Creighton, of the Express; Frank Cobler, of the Santa Ana Times; Nap Donovan, of the Santa Ana Herald; L.T. Fisher, of the Downey Outlook. The proceedings were opened with a supplication by Brother Fisher, and business was proceeding swimmingly until Scipio Craig made the incautious statement that he invariably kept a keg of beer on tap in his sanctum. A motion was promptly made and carried to adjourn and meet in the Semi-Tropic office just as soon as it was possible to get there. Piscaforial. Readers of the Gazette know that in former years rare sport and considerable profit was had at Anaheim Landing in fishing for the oil-giving shark. For two or three months every summer the surf swarmed with them, and it was not an unusual thing for a fisherman to catch fifty of them in a single day with a common book. But this season they are never—or hardly ever—seen, and the sailors can assign no reason for their sudden disappearance. It is noticeable, too, that a small fish has appeared at the Landing this year which heretofore has been an entire stranger in these waters, although it is probable that there is no connection between the disappearance of the shark and the appearance of the mullet—the fish to which we allude. It is a small fish, but of excellent flavor, as indeed are all of the finny tribe which frequent this part of the coast. The Gazette says that two young ladies while rambling through a eucalyptus grove at Anaheim, Los Angeles county, became intoxicated from the dense odor of the foliage. This is a fatal gift for the imported medicinal tree to possess. If whisky bums and beer tappers generally hear of this, they will take up their permanent abode beneath the intoxicating branches of the blue gum, and it will not be safe for young ladies to inhale their morning bitters while taking their innocent walk among the scented evergreen trees. But this story requires confirmation. We have heard a great deal about the eucalyptus and know something of it, too, but until now we have never heard—that is, hardly ever—of its power to intoxicate young ladies. Alta. The Alta can rely upon it that the story is as true as truth itself. And what is more, the discovery of its intoxicating properties Our State (California) has just past through the throes of political strife. Monopolies of gigantic proportions and subtile powers have been waging a war of conquest upon human liberty, and have been exerting the utmost endeavor to conquer and keep in utter subjection the honest, hard-working toiler, over whom, by the power of wealth, they have reigned with a more despotic sway than any European power can boast of for many years; and the late contest has been an uprising of the mighty power of the people, who, equal to the grand occasion, have thrown off the yoke of the usurpers and left the handful of ten-millionaires to realize how impotent is their wealth when the mighty power of justice assumes the control, and lifts the sceptre of right on behalf of down-trodden and crushed humanity. The new law, the New Constitution, has been carried by a large majority of votes, and henceforth a brighter expression of justice than hitherto will smile upon the people. Doubtless you would like to know something about ourselves and our work here. For this purpose I herewith send you a newspaper statement of our position [published last week in Medium], so that, with a few corrections, as I will show below, you may see us as others see us, and form your own conclusions. We are not seeking to proselytize in any way whatever, but waiting to gather the golden sheaves as we see the human harvest getting ripe thereunto. We full well realize the utter impossibility of talking attributes into any one—growth of the soul comes from within, and when there it will irresistibly find an outward expression. Explanation of errors in the newspaper report: 1st. It is not true that "nothing is done of our own volition;" but while we are guided and aided by the angel-world, our own individuality is never invaded, but the two roads left open to walk in—the right or left—the right or wrong choice left to us, with its consequences. 2nd. We do not hold it sinful to diet on preserved fruit, for we eat fruits dried in the sun; but refuse those subject to the deteriorating action of artificial heat, i.e., the cooking stove. Anyway, very little dried fruit will be necessary when our fruit trees get a year or two older, for this climate will produce fruits juicy and sweet, fresh from the trees all the year round; for there is no month in the whole year when some kind of fruit may not be in season on the trees in abundance, in this spiritual atmosphere. 3d. It is not true that cooking destroys the spiritual essences of fruits and vegetables. It only sets them free, dissipates them into the air, and what is left for the stomach builds up the physical merely, giving an intensified power to the senses, and detrimental to that power which should control the senses. With the above corrections, we may venture to launch this somewhat superficial exposition of our views and aims (though an exceedingly fair statement for a non-Spiritalist) upon the sea of your criticism. Free Love and Vegetarian Lunacy. [From the Glen's Falls (N.Y.) Republican, June 24.] We publish elsewhere the salient points of testimony brought out on the trial of the notorious Dr. Schlesinger at Anaheim, California, on the 24th of May. Dr. Schlesinger, it will be remembered, was a prominent figure here and at Fort Edward last summer, and especially as the principal factor in establishing the "heavenly home"—a small community of free-lovers and vegetarians—at Saratoga. The story of his influence over a deluded family in California, which caused them to starve an infant for nearly a year, will be read with indignant interest. Schlesinger was the ruling spirit at Anaheim as at Saratoga. He directed the diet of the child and was responsible for its treatment. We are indebted to Mr. A. M. Strong of Albany for a copy of the Anaheim Gazette from which the account of the trial is taken. Glenn Retained. The Democratic State Central Committee held a meeting on Saturday, thirty members being present. Phil Roach offered the following resolutions which were adopted by a vote of 22 to 8. Whereas, The Democratic State Convention of California has confided to the Democratic State Central Committee the duty of promoting, by all honorable means, the election of its nominees; and whereas, the candidate for the position of Chief Magistrate declared in his letter sent to the Convention that he had been a life-long Democrat, and that if elected his administration would be Democratic, and believing that such declarations have been made as they would be understood and carried out by Tilden Thurman, Bayard Hendrieka, or other distinguished Democrats in addressing the Democracy of their respective States; therefore be it Resolved That with this understanding of the aforesaid letter we pledge our earnest efforts to elect Hugh J. Glenn to the office of Chief Magistrate of California. Jo. Hamilton, nominee for Attorney General, handed in his resignation, as did also Levi Chase, nominee for Lieutenant Governor. The filling of these places was left to the executive Committee. E. W. Maslin, the private Secretary of Gov. Irwin, was suggested for the position of Treasurer; made vacant by by the declination of Paoli As it was not known whether Maslin would accept, the matter was also left in the hands of the Executive Committee. An Antidote for Flies. Now, with the heat of summer and the recurrence of "fly time," it is important to know how to get rid of the pests that do or torment humanity, if that be possible, or abate the nuisance if it can be abated. Upon this theme, which is local, general, and this season all-pervading, we quote the following from a letter written by a lady—and her testimony is worthy... This is a fatal gift for the important tree to possess. If whisky bums and beer tappers generally hear of this, they will take up their permanent abode beneath the intoxicating branches of the blue gum, and it will not be safe for young ladies to inhale their morning bitters while taking their innocent walk among the scented evergreen trees. But this story requires confirmation. We have heard a great deal about the eucalyptus and know something of it, too, but until now we have never heard—that is, hardly ever—of its power to intoxicate young ladies. The Alta can rely upon it that the story is as true as truth itself. And what is more, the discovery of its intoxicating properties has already attracted an attention which bodes no good to the Front street distillers. This morning's mail brought us a letter from Jacksonville, Oregon, which contains these words: "Please inform me if there is any large quantity of the flowers of the eucalyptus tree for sale, or is the grove near your town public or Government property? How can I get a portion of the same? and oblige, you truly," etc. The Express of last evening says: A meeting of dissatisfied members of the Workingmen's party was held last night for the purpose of organizing a new party. Speeches were made by Col. John F. Godfrey, G. A. Bunch, Pastor de Celis and Mr. Ullard. The following officers were then elected: President, S. A. Francis; Vice-Presidents, N. R. Vail and H. King; Secretary, T. J. Cuddy; Treasurer, S. M. Perry. Messrs Godfrey, Lawlor, A. J. Hamilton, Bunch, Pastor de Celis and Perry were appointed a Committee on Platform and Address, to report at an adjourned meeting to be held next Friday. The new party are sound on the W. P. C. State ticket, but will not support the county ticket recently nominated by the W. P. C. Convention. Col. W. H. Paul was killed near Tehama on Friday, by getting caught in the machinery of a steam thresher. Col. Paul was well known in the central and northern parts of the State, and has many friends in San Francisco. Take advantage of hard times and call and buy yourself a new Wagon, as I have a large number on hand and will call them at any price. H. J. McDermott, Blacksmith and Wagon-Maker, Lemon St., Anaheim. 3d. It is not true that cooking destroys the spiritual essences of fruits and vegetables. It only sets them free, dissipates them into the air, and what is left for the stomach builds up the physical merely, giving an intensified power to the senses, and detrimental to that power which should control the senses. With the above corrections, we may venture to launch this somewhat superficial exposition of our views and aims (though an exceedingly fair statement for a non-Spiritualist), upon the sea of your criticism. It may not probably occur to you, however, that our diet acts upon mortals like oil upon the stormy ocean, saying to the animal and passionate nature: "Pence, be still," and there is a great calm; and we think that the inspiration which cometh from above has solved the great problem of human redemption, in thus instituting a method of life which we realize (not as a theory, but as a practice) will meet the wants and necessities of mankind, and bring them consciously into rapport with the angels and ministers of truth which come to earth from the Christ sphere, and administer that "principle" to the world. One word more: Procreation with us is the most sacred of all acts, and requires special preparation, it being a continuation of creation; for thereby is the human world and angelic heaven peopleled, and instead of being lightly entered upon and of daily occurrence, as obtains in the social world, it will become, and is, the rarest of all events among us; and then with special reference to the one grand object in view—via a nobler, a healthier and a more divine race of men and women than the present haphazard and heftily system can produce. Ours is eminently a practical life. With us the age of talking the truth is dead; living, it is present with us, and by its fruits it shall be known: if it be of God, ye cannot arrest it; but if of men, it will come to naught. For 1800 years the words of the Nassauese have been preached in every public place, and there is not a real Jesus on the globe to-day; and Christianity, pure and simple, as exemplified in Christ, is but an ideal thing, and the antipeder of the Christian principle, via selfishness in more or less degree, has got all: for who is ready to "leave all". As it was not known whether Maalin would accept, the matter was also left in the hands of the Executive Committee. An Antidote for Flies. Now, with the heat of summer and the recurrence of "fly time," it is important to know how to get rid of the pests that do not torment humanity, if that be possible, or abate the nuisance if it can be abated. Upon this theme, which is local, general, and this season all-pervading, we quote the following from a letter written by a lady—and it may be added, her testimony is worthy acceptance in the matter of a trial which entirely practicable, at the same time assuring a pretty feature in household decoration: "For three years," writes the lady, "I have lived in a town, and during that time I sitting-room has been free from flies, three-four only walking about my breakfast-table while all my neighbors' rooms are crowded; I often congratulated myself on my escape but never knew the reason of it until a few days ago. I then had occasion to move goods to another house, while I remained a few days longer. Among other things moved were two boxes of geraniums and coolarias, which stood in my windows, be always open to their full extent, top and form. The boxes were not gone half an hour when my room was as full of flies as they around me. This, to me, is a new discover and perhaps it may serve to encourage others in that which is always a source of pleasure namely, window-gardening. Magnons planted in long shallow boxes placed on window sill, will be found excellent for purpose."—Troy Times. A young squaw, of the Sikha tribe, was caused of witchcraft, the other day, andenced to be burned at the stake.

A reporter of the New York Sun has been to visit Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, and learned some interesting facts in regard to the progress he has made with the Electric Light. In answer to questions Mr. Edison stated what had been accomplished. He said: "First, I have perfected a standard meter for measuring the electricity fed to the burners, the same as a gas meter. It is all right. Second, I have perfected a method of insulating and conveying the wires from the generating stations to the houses of consumers. Third, I have perfected an electric generator. I am satisfied that it cannot be improved." Continuing, he said: "The subdivision of the light is perfect, but I am improving the lamp every day. The latest experiments give me nearly seven gas jets per horse-power, and there are indications that I can increase the number to ten. Just as long as we can see our way to getting more gaslight per horse-power, we shall give no exhibitions. The platinum burner is a settled thing. In all carbon lights not more than 44 per cent. of the horse-power goes into the lamp. We get 82 per cent. in our lamps. I recognize the impatience of the public over the delay in bringing the light before them, but we must start with a perfect plant. It is a necessity. Suppose we erected our stations and lighted New York city, losing power that might be saved by a perfected lamp or generator. In time the lamps and generators would have to be thrown out and new ones substituted. The importance of breathing plentifully of fresh air, as an essential to health, is generally admitted. Well ventilated rooms, open air exercise, and exertions into the country are appreciated to some extent by all classes. But the art of breathing is very much over-looked. Being a process not depending on the will for its exercise, it is too much left to the mere call of nature. It is however, an act which can be influenced very materially by the will. Properly trained singers are taught to attend very carefully to their breathing. When brisk muscular exercise is taken, breathing is naturally active without any special effort. But when the body is at rest, or engaged in occupation requiring a confined posture, and especially when the mind is absorbed in thought, the breathing naturally becomes diminished, and the action of the lungs slow and feeble. The consequence is that the oxygenation of the blood is imperfectly carried on. Even in taking a constitutional walk the full benefit is not attained for want of thorough breathing. As a remedy for this, it has been suggested that there is room for what might be fitly termed breath gymnastics—to draw in long and full breaths, filling the lungs full at every inspiration, and emptying them as completely as possible at every expiration, and to acquire the habit of full breathing at all times. This mode of breathing has a direct effect in supplying the largest possible amount of oxygen to the blood, and more thoroughly consuming the carbon, and so producing animal heat. It has also the very important effect of expanding the chest, and A week's dietary in the year? This is an age. All can help to solve it. Vegetarian Lunacy.

The heat of summer and the "fly time," it is important to get rid of the pests that do so sanity, if that be possible, or to resistance if it can be abated. Upon which is local, general, and at full-pervading, we quote the follow-a letter written by a lady—and, indeed, her testimony is worthy of FROM THE LABRATORY OF T. A. EDISON, MENLO PARK, N. J., U. S. A. DEAR SIR:—Would you be so kind as to inform me if the metal platinum occurs in your neighborhood? This metal, as a rule, is found associated with free gold, generally in placers. If there is any in your vicinity, or if you can gain information from experienced miners as to localities where it can be found, and will forward such information to my address, As a remedy for this, it has been suggested that there is room for what might be fitly termed breath gymnastics—to draw in long and full breaths, filling the lungs full at every inspiration, and emptying them as completely as possible at every expiration, and to acquire the habit of full breathing at all times. This mode of breathing has a direct effect in supplying the largest possible amount of oxygen to the blood, and more thoroughly consuming the carbon, and so producing animal heat. It has also the very important effect of expanding the chest, and so contributing to the vigor of the system. The breath should be inhaled by the nostrils as well as by the mouth, more especially while out of doors and in cold weather. This has partly the effect of a respirator, in so far warming the air in its passage to the delicate air cells, and in also rendering one less liable to catch cold. This full respiration is of so much importance, that no proper substitute is to be found for it in shorter though more rapid breathing. In short breathing a large portion of the air cells remain nearly stationary, the upper portion of the lungs only being engaged in receiving and discharging a small portion of air. Profound thought, intense grief, and other similar mental manifestations have a depressing effect on respiration. The blood unduly accumulates in the brain, and the circulation in both heart and lungs becomes diminished, unless indeed there be feverishness present. An occasional long breath or deep-drawn sigh is the natural relief in such case, nature making an effort to provide a remedy. This hint should be acted on and followed up. Brisk muscular exercise in the open air, even during inclement weather, is an excellent antidote of a physical kind for a "rooted sorrow." And the earnest student, instead of tying himself continually to his desk, might imitate a friend of the writer of this, who studied and wrote while on his legs. Pacing his room, blad [i.e., portfolio; something flat to write on, an old Scottish word.] in hand, with paper attached, he stopped, as occasion required, to pen a sentence or a paragraph. Breathing is the first and last act of man, and is of the most vital necessity all through life. Persons with full, broad cheeks naturally breathe freely and slowly, and large nostrils generally accompany large chests. Such persons rarely take cold, and when they do they throw it off easily. The opposite build of chest is more predisposed to lung disease. The pallid complexion and conspicuous blue veins show that oxygen is wanted and that every means should be used to obtain it. Deep breathing also promotes perspiration, by increasing the circulation and the animal warmth. Waste is more rapidly repaired and the skin is put in requisition to remove the used materials. Many forms of disease may be thus prevented and more vigorous health enjoyed.-Chamber's Journal. Mr. Edison began to look for a mine of platinum about the 1st of May. He sent out 2,000 circulars addressed to Postmasters and other public men in mining regions. These circulars read as follows: FROM THE LABRATORY OF T. A. EDISON, MENLO PARK, N.J., U.S.A. DEAR SIR:—Would you be so kind as to inform me if the metal platinum occurs in your neighborhood? This metal, as a rule, is found associated with free gold, generally in placers. If there is any in your vicinity, or if you can gain information from experienced miners as to localities where it can be found, and will forward such information to my address, I will consider it a special favor, as I shall require large quantities in my new system of electric lighting. An early reply to this circular will be greatly appreciated. Very truly, MENLO PARK, N.J. THOR. A. EDISON. Mr. Edison has already received samples and tests from about one hundred miners. They are now prospecting for the precious metal. It is the most difficult of all ores to reduce, but the great inventor says he can soon discover a method of reduction if he can find a mine. The Black Hills News says: Among the "notables" at Fort Mead is the famous horse "Comanche," the only survivor of the Custer fight. This is the horse, it will be remembered, that was ridden in the battle of the Little Big Horn by Col. Keogh. He was found on the battle field after the Indians had retreated, wounded in five places. He was tenderly nursed, put on a steamer and brought to Fort Lincoln. There, by good care, he entirely recovered. By a regimental order of Gen. Stargis he is now never ridden, but led with the regiment at all mounted ceremonies, draped in the deepest mourning. He has stood the trip from Lincoln nicely, and is as fat as a seal. Though about fifteen years old, he seems good for ten more. It is stated that Sir William Gull, the eminent physician, recommends the eating of raisins instead of drinking wine in case of fatigue from overwork or otherwise. Before the Lord's Commissions recently, in London, he led as follows: "Instead of flying to alcohol, as many people do when exhausted, they might very well drink water, or they might very well take food, and they would be very much better without the alcohol." He also added, "In case of fatigue from overwork, my food is very simple. I eat the raisins instead of taking the wine. For thirty years I have had large experiences in this practice, have recommended it to my personal friends, and believe it is a very good and true experience." A well known liberal clergyman relates that lately talking to some youngsters on the coming vacation and, diverging into the necessity of kindness to animals, he incidentally remarked: "Boys are often urged to frogs and toads. I remember when a boy of wickedly filling up a toad with fire embers and then lighting the slow-match." He was horrified to see this remark received with the liveliest emotions of interest and delight and utterly prostrated as he passed out at hearing one archin' say to another, "By fringe that's a new note. Won't we have fun blowing up the bull paddles down in the mudder!" J. M. Keyes was killed in flames during a railroad shops. Fifty thousand dollars worth of property was destroyed.
