They allege that their food is poor in quality, insufficient, and badly cooked; that they are huddled together in badly-ventillated cells, and that they suffer in health thereby. —Several hundred people visited Anaheim Landing on last Sunday, and that resort presented a lively appearance.

Marshal Payne has had such difficulty in collecting license from the Chinese store-keepers that he was yesterday compelled to proceed to extreme measures. Sin Tin Wo was arrested for violation of the license ordinance, and Justice Bailey fined him $10, which he paid. The store of the Yeun Chang Co. was attached and a keeper placed in charge of it. In rearranging the new Great Register yesterday, the abbreviated name of Mr. Joseph Green Berry Henry Marcus Cassina Brutus Cross Haynes, was again run across. We published the name last spring, but it is good enough to deserve a repetition. Mr. Haynes is 60 years old, and a resident of Los Nietos. Should any further additions be made to the name, a supplement will be immediately issued. — Commercial. The following incident of the Gerham meeting in Los Angeles is from the Herald: Ex-Governor John G. Downey called the meeting to order. He made a few remarks of an introductory character, proposing the venerable Colonial J. J. Warner for President. As he drew to the end of his little speech, some ill-bred fellow in the crowd suggested that the speaker was about as big a land monopolist as Glenn. The ex-Governor stepped to the edge of the platform and told the disturber that it he were near enough he would break his head. — A despatch from Phoenix 9th says: The south-bound left here at 9 o'clock last evening at the river three miles from express box was taken.

Lenia being elected whenever he resides Fire at Garden Grove. The store of C. Howe & Co., at Garden Grove, was burned on Monday morning, and the larger portion of the stock was destroyed. The origin of the fire can only be conjectured. Mr. Howe was at the store transacting some business with some of his customers between 6 and 7 o'clock on Monday morning, and then went to his house, a couple of hundred yards from the store, to eat breakfast. While so engaged, his little son called to him that the store was on fire. Mr. Howe ran to the store with a couple of buckets of water, but found that any attempt to save the building was useless, as the whole upper story was in flames. A young man named Bibb reached the store before Mr. Howe, and assisted him in carrying out considerable goods. The fire originated in the second story of the building, and it is thought that perhaps the cat (which was burned) may have overturned a can of matches which stood on a table. The building was insured for $500 and the stock for $6000 in the following companies: $3000 in the Standard of New Zealand; $1500 in the Royal Canadian; $1500 in the South British and National, and $500 in the Hartford. The local agents of these companies, Messra. Melrose and Austin, placed Mr. Averill in charge of the goods which were saved. The loss over the insurance is supposed to be about $3000. Mr. Howe left for San Francisco yesterday morning to purchase a new stock, and Messra. McBurney and Cook, the other members of the firm, are engaged in fitting up an adjoining barn for use as a store. They expect to be ready for business in a day or two. N.C.P.Meeting. The attendance at the meeting on Monday night was not very large. Either the party which the speakers advocated does not possess any great amount of vitality here, or the people are having a surfeit of political talk. The principal oration of the evening was made by Mr. Burkhalter, a patriarchal-looking Mariposa toll-road man. He is a vehement speaker, dealing in homely phrases, and enunciating them with great volubility and lung power. He said that he had never in his jife scratched a Democratic ticket or voted for a Republican, but he was going to stop such conduct hereafter. He said: "I would sooner vote for the dirtiest, meanest skunk of a Republican who voted for the New Constitution than I would for the purest, best Democrat who voted against it." In speaking of the Workingmen's party he said that $100,000 were on deposit in San Francisco which was to be given to Kearney and his aids if White polled 25,000 votes in the State. The calculation was that the bulk of these votes would be taken from the Democratic party, and would result in the election of Perkins. The other speakers were Judge O'Melveny Dr. Head, Mr. Steele, Mr. Conlee and Mr. Holton. The first-named gentleman's speech was chiefly remarkable for loose and erroneous statements concerning county affairs: His uncalled for attack on Deputy Sheriff Barham is refuted by that gentleman in a card given below; and it will be seen that Judge O'Melveny also, has the grace to correct one of his erroneous scribes to call if we may judge that, while many communities, named will be learning to crawl work of the w Richardson, hold of this view, in professional colleagues nies that men w incentives, are them as fast as work than those without advent Rum, Opium, and Tobacco. [New York Sun.] Some striking remarks have appeared in the current number of the Contemporary Review on the physiological action of intoxicants. Their author is Dr. B.W. Richardson, who is known to have made a special study of the subject, and some of his conclusions will be found strangely counter to the prevailing impressions. It is often supposed that hard drinkers are not great smokers—that an intense craving for tobacco is scarcely compatible with a morbid appetite for alcohol. This, according to Dr. Richardson, is so far from being the case, that only those who engage to excess in the one agent can tolerate large quantities of the other. Under the action of tobacco, the heart seems rapidly torr down in power and alcohol is called for to whip it up again. The fact, precisely stated, is that the minute vessels at the termination of the arterial circuit are contracted by niptine, so that the face becomes pale, and the surface of the body cold, whereas a glass of spirits relaxes the same vessels, finishes the face, and, in every particular, counteracts the drug. When, therefore, we see a man smoking and drinking, recurring now and then to wine or beer to quiet the qualm inflicted by the cigar or pipe, we are really watching an instinctive physiological experiment. The man is unconsciously inducing a balance in the tension of his arterial system. We ought to have expected, therefore, what is said to be tested by statistics, that great smokers tend to be hard drinkers, and that few among musicians to call.

The Rev. Mr. King and wife, of Westminster, while bathing in the bay at Anaheim Landing on Monday morning, had a narrow escape from drowning. They incautiously ventured into deep water, and Mrs. King, being unable to swim, sank beneath the waters. Mr. King, in attempting to swim ashore with her, was pulled under, but just then Mrs. Fleming, who had gone down to the beach to look after them, saw them struggling in the water and called for help. Her cries were heard by Mr. J. M. Guinn, who immediately ran down to the bank, and seizing a long board which fortunately was lying near, by wading in up to his neck succeeded in reaching Mr. King with the plank and towing him and his wife, who was now unconscious, to shallow water. Mr. J. J. Guinn and Mr. Tretethen arriving at this time, the lady was carried ashore, and with the assistance of Capt. Wilson, she was reuscitated by employing the means usually practised in cases of drowning. Mr. King had sunk twice when Mr. Guinn reached him, and, burdened as he was by the weight of his wife, in a few seconds both would have sunk to rise no more. For a few days past there has been a rumor that the United States authorities were about to make an important seizure of the property and person of a violator of the Revenue laws, whose position and capital had heretofore served to exempt him from suspicion of attempting to defraud the Government. Yesterday the mine was exploded and Lucky Baldwin's distillery, warehouses and wine vaults at the Santa Anita Ranch were seized and he was placed under arrest on the charge of illicit distillation of brandy. Mr. Baldwin was brought to this city by Marshal Dunlap, and will have a preliminary hearing to-day before Commissioner Whiting. A despatch from Phoenix, Arizona, Aug. 9th, says: The south-bound stage which left here at 9 o'clock last evening was robbed at the river three miles from town. The express box was taken. The mail was not called for. The box contained no money. One man committed the act, R. H. Paul, Wells, Fargo & Co.'s detective, is now out. The robber has been traced a long distance. The stage on the previous evening contained ten bales of Vulture gold bullion of the State. The calculation was that the bulk of these votes would be taken from the Democratic party, and would result in the election of Perkins. The other speakers were Judge O'Melveny Dr. Head, Mr. Steele, Mr. Conlee and Mr. Holton. The first-named gentleman's speech was chiefly remarkable for loose and erroneous statements concerning county affairs. His uncalled for attack on Deputy Sheriff Barham is refuted by that gentleman in a card given below; and it will be seen that Judge O'Melveny also, has the grace to correct one of his erroneous statements. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Judge O'Melveny in his speech on Monday night, in enumerating the subsequent deputies who served as delegates in the Democratic Convention of 1877, and who, by his statement, went there in the interest of H. M. Mitchell, mentioned my name as an ex-delegate to that Convention. The delegates to that Convention from Anaheim were Messrs. Langenberger, Rimpan, Wm. M. Bailey and W. J. Smith. I was not in the Convention either as a delegate or as a proxy. It is possible that Judge O'Melveny may be as far off in his figures relating to the Sheriff's office as he is in his facts. R. M. BARHAM. EDITOR GAZETTE:—In respect to Mr. Barham, I should have said and intended to have said that he was ex-member of the County Democratic Central Committee, instead of the Democratic Convention. As to the figures, they are taken from the report of Mr. A.W.Potts himself. I wish to do injustice to no one. Respectfully, H.K.S.O'MELVENY. A Coyote Hunts ALAMITOS, Aug. 11, 1879. EDITOR GAZETTE:—The fourth meeting of the Alamitos coyote hunt will come off on Saturday the 16th. They will meet at Mr. Gibson's place at three P.M.sharp. All who are lovers of fast time are invited to join with horses and hounds, and all may expect a lively time. The two last times of the meet, although with some fast running stock, were unable to overhaul a full-grown coyote. On last Saturday after having a run of three and a half miles, the coyote was jumped about two miles west of Gibson's ranch, and made direct for Westminster. Away he went with men and hounds in full chase through sand patches, alkali beds, weeds and plowed fields. One bound nearly overtook him at one time, but owing to the heat and want of water he pegged out when within ten or fifteen feet of him. Owing to the long chase the party only captured one for the day, making six for the hunts so far. Next Saturday there will be watermelons for the men and water for the dogs. F.A.G. Eleven delegates were present at the Prohibition Convention in Los Angeles on Saturday, and nominated the following county ticket: For Senator—J.P.West. For Assembly—P.M.Green,J.T.Gordon. For Superior Judges—V.E.Howard,Will.D.Gould. For District Attorney—No choice. For Sheriff—A.T.Currier. County Clerk—Conlee. Treasurer—Milton Lindley. Recorder—C.C.Lamb. Auditor—No choice. Assessor—Steele. Tax Collector—No choice. Surveyor—E.T.Wright. Public Administrator—J.W.Potts. Another conclusion at which Dr.Richardson has arrived contradicts the popular notion, and while it may be true of England, would hardly, we imagine, be borne out by druggists in this country. We refer to his statement that the use of opium as an habitual toxic agent is dying out in Great Britain. He is positive that among the richer classes, the practice of taking opium is far less common than it was formerly, though he intimates that chloral hydrate has more than usurped its place. The actual opium eaters of English society are now, he affirms, so extremely limited in number, that the mortality returns give no clue to them as a class suffering from the indulgence. As to the assertion that professed abstainers from strong drink are more addicted to narcotics than are the consumers of alcohol, the facts, he says are all the other way. In the course of his intercourse with the abstaining community—and few physicians probably have a larger practice among them—the has never met with an instance that afforded so much as a suspicion of habitual narcoticism. After all, the inference seems reasonable enough that those men and women who abstain on principle from one form of intoxication would be most likely to evince resolution in abjuring all forms. Of course, many abstainers smoke tobacco, but as the habit, unrelieved by an alcoholic antidote, seriously taxes the physical health, they are prompted to curtail, if not to forego, the use of the weed. It must be owned that the class known as moderate drinkers are likely to derive but little comfort from the researches and conclusions of Dr.Richardson. It is notorious that a sudden excess of indulgence in alcohol induces some form of acute mental arrangement or stupor, and he thinks that a graduated indulgence is well nigh as certain to entail a confirmed condition of chronic aberration, more or less determinate. The tendency of alcoholic agents is, as a rule, toward premature physical decay, and he has found them lead quite as perceptably toward premature mental deterioration. The action of the intoxicant when regularly taken, even in small doses, ultimately exerts a mischievous influence on structural parts of the body. The sense of muscular and mental fatigue is rendered easy of development, and the nutritive function is apt to suffer, and in many organizations to suffer rapidly and fatally.

The express box was taken. The mail was not called for. The box contained no money. One man committed the act, R. H. Paul, Wells, Fargo & Co.'s detective, is now out. The robber has been traced a long distance. The stage on the previous evening contained ten bars of Vulture gold bullion of the value of $9,000, and ten bars of Peck bullion, worth $18,000. This is the fourth robbery in the same place in four months. —It appears from subsequent proceedings that the rumor that Mr. Egan had withdrawn from the contest for Supervisor was incorrect. At the Democratic Convention in Orange on Saturday, he was nominated for Supervisor, he receiving 14 votes and Mr. Davis 8. The Republican Supervisorial Convention met at Santa Ana, but adjourned without making any nomination. They will meet in Anaheim on Saturday to finish the business. —The case of the People va. Thurston, in which the plaintiff was charged with misdemeanor in breaking down a gate on Rawson's ranch, was tried in Justice Bailey's Court on Monday. The jury disagreed, standing nine for conviction and three for acquittal. A change of venue was asked and granted to Justice Trafford's Court in Los Angeles. —a letter was received from Mr. A. Grossman the other day. He has been spending a week in Sonoma county, and says that on several days while there the thermometer reached 110°. The vineyards must have suffered from such scorching heat. —Mr. W. H. Henderson has accepted the position of teacher of the intermediate department, tendered him by the Anabeim School Trustees. The Fairview school will be taught by Mr. W. C. Campbell, whom we last week prematurely assigned to Maizeland District. —The indelisable Warfenberg is a candidate for Constable.

Los Angeles county has produced corn much larger than that, and we refer the subject to the editor of the Anaheim Gazette for definite figures. —St. Helena Star. Corn stalks fifteen feet high are not uncommon in this county. The Gazette office was festooned last year with a number of stalks eighteen feet high. —the Campaign Committee of the W. P. C., at its session on Saturday, adopted the following: Resoleed, That notwithstanding Stephen M. White has declined our nomination for District Attorney of Los Angeles county, we recognizing him as the best man for the position, do, in the interest of the people of this county, hereby pledge ourselves to vote for him for said office, without regard to his party affiliations, or predilections, believing that if elected by the people, he will not fail to perform the duties of that position he is so admirably qualified to fill. Mr. J. P. West, candidate for Senator, was summoned before the Campaign Committee of the W. P. C. on last Saturday and requested to define his position. After considerable discussion Mr. West agreed to the following pledge: While I will not be bound by any canons, I promise that I will not vote for any candidate for United States Senator who is not in thorough accord with the principles of the Workingmen's platform. The history of yellow fever in this country shows that it has never prevailed in an epidemic form in any locality with an elevation of 500 feet above the sea. The elevation of Memphis is 260 feet. Dr Richardson is an advocate of total abstinence; but, striking as his observations are, they scarcely rebut the fundamental argument that all civilized society is an artificial organism, and that exceptional conditions call for exceptional measures of a stimulative or palliative kind. A man who cannot sleep, owing to care and anxiety, may find in opium the sporicific that he needs; and he who cannot finish, by his own natural powers a certain amount of work against time, will be apt to recruit his energies by stimulusa. So, too, a person who has gained, by such means, an abnormal cerebral momentum, is sometimes counselled by phy- AZETTE.

At the minute the arterial circuse, so that the surface of the spirits relaxes face, and, in the drug, smoking and seen to wine or by the cigar an instinctive man is unin the tension ought to have paid to be attempted to tend few among them to calm himself down by tobacco. If we may judge by experience, it is probable that, while men live in highly organized communities, such remedies as we have named will be accepted, even as the risk of learning to crave for them, in order that the work of the world may go on space. Dr. Richardson, however, disputes the soundness of this view, in which so many of his professional colleagues have concurred. He denies that men who, by recourse to dangerous incentives, are throwing their lives behind them as fast as they can, do more or better work than those who are content to labor without adventitious assistance. Colentes for California. A meeting of the "Bureau of Immigration and Colonization" was held on Wednesday evening, at its office, 625 Market street, Palace Hotel. A. K. Stevens, Vice-President, presided. Among the communications received and read, was one from a colony of about sixty persons forming at Port Huron, Michigan, to locate in Southern California. The Secretary of the colony asks the Bureau to appoint a suitable agent to visit Michigan and deliver a few lectures on California, with a view to increasing the number of the colonists, make arrangements for their transporation and come out with them. This is a temperance colony and have their minds made up to settle below Los Angeles. Another letter was read from the President of a colony forming in Brooklyn, L. L., twenty-five families, averaging about $2,000 each, the President having $5,000. The President thinks that by a little effort the colony can Chavette's Eloquence. The refusal of the Parisian parricide, La-prade, to be guillotined recalls the man "guillotised by persuasion" of Chavette. "But I say, you know," said the executioner, "everybody is waiting. The magistrates are there, the clergy are there, the people are there, the soldiers (who are to present arms to you just as if you were the President of the Republic) are there—everybody is there. All they are waiting for is you—o-on-ly you." "I don't know," replied the condemned man. "I am a new executioner; you are the first person I've had to guillotine; give me a good send-off now, can't you? Help me to discharge a disagreeable duty. Just put yourself in my place—" "You just put yourself in mine." "It can't be any question of expense; don't you know that everything is paid? It won't cost you a penny; the State stands treat." "I havn't asked the State to stand treat to anything." "Come now, old fal, let's understand each other.

Increases as the drift toward The San Jose correspondent of a San Francisco paper, writing under date of August 7, says: The harvest will show as good a crop of grain as has been expected, especially in the north end of the county. The hay, though generally of a fair quality, has not yielded as heavily as expected, and much of the fruit crop is of inferior quality, owing to the dryness of the season. The hop crop may be classed as a complete failure. This county, which three years ago produced between 1,200 and 1,500 bales of hope, will not this season, as far as known, harvest a bale. At that time there were nearly 200 acres under cultivation, but since then, owing to the depreciation in price, most of the hop vines have been pulled up, and those that have not been destroyed have been allowed to run to waste until the weeds have about smothered them out. The celebrated Coe hop ranch is no more, the hop vines having been uprooted to give place to melons and potatoes, the Sansevain hop field has shared the same fate, and smaller growers, those having eight and ten-acre patches, have followed suit. During the Fall season this industry has heretofore kept from 300 to 500 hands employed, but until prices are better it will not pay to raise hops. New York, August 7th.—A Boston Company is now turning out between ten and twelve thousand pounds of ice per day, which they contract to deliver at one-half cent a pound. The process employed is said to be the cheapest known to science. The cost of manufacturing is only eighty-five anything." "Come now, old fel, let's understand each other. You mayn't think so, but this resistance doesn't proceed from your own better nature—some one has put you up to it. You have formed a totally erroneous idea of the affair.

You are called and waked early, and given a comfortable breakfast—order whatever you want. Nothing so dreadful about that, is there! Then you have your hair cut—its healthy this hot weather, and makes you feel fresher. Then you go calmly and pleasantly out for a ride—in a carriage, understand. While you are driving along you amuse yourself chatting about this, that and the other thing with the priest, and you never feel the time pass. Well, when you get there they come out to meet you, they open the door for you, they help you out of the carriage, they do everything in their power for you. Then you go up the stairs—only a step or two, and the ascent is so easy that you'd almost think you were going downstairs. You bow to the public, and—well, before you have time to turn round—brrrr!—all is over [Smiling]. And everybody goes home satisfied. That's all there is about it." A San Francisco paper of the 11th has the following in regard to the arrest of one of the firm of Ballard & Hall, Wool Commission Merchants: Isaac R. Hall was arrested last evening by Officers Hutton and Eldridge and charged with embezzlement. It is charged that Bruno Arello, a wool-grower of San Ber.nardino county, sent up to this city last spring a consignment of wool valued at about $4000 which Hall was to sell upon commission. Not having made any returns for the sale, Arello swore out a complaint against Hall in the City Criminal Court, charging him with the crime named. Hall was released on giving bonds in the sum of $5000. New York, August 11.—A Herald's Memphis special says: The Howard physicians and visitors report the fever spreading rapidly in the suburbs of the city. The greatest destitution prevails, and notwithstanding the city authorities are straining every hope to be able to weather the storm without applying to the outside world, I venture to predict that within ten days they will be forced to make an appeal. The Howard Association is in the same dilemma. It is at an expense of $500 a day, which is hourly increasing, with less than $13,000 in the treasury. Squirrel Poison.—The following mixture prepared under the direction of Dr. C. Gratan, has been used with remarkable success in destroying squirrels on that gentleman's farm: One ounce of crystalized strychnine, half a teacupfull of brown sugar, water sufficient to make a syrup, 22 drops of oil of rodium, 22 drops of oil of anise; mix thoroughly together. Take seven quarts of wheat, wash the grain well, strain off the water, add the above mixture to the wheat and mix well. Distribute the wheat, putting five to ten grains at a place. Wheat thus prepared has been distributed close to a stack of un- NEW YORK, August 7th.—A Boston Company is now turning out between ten and twelve thousand pounds of ice per day, which they contract to deliver at one-half cent a pound. The process employed is said to be the cheapest known to science. The cost of manufacturing is only eighty-five cents a ton. A hundred and ten carloads of peaches arrived in New York the past two days. Wholesale price per crate is about eighty cents, and baskets forty to fifty cents. The varieties are mostly Trothes and Early Yorks with some few Crawforda. WASHINGTON, August 7th.—This Government having called the attention of the German Government to the annoyances and threats of loss of property Carl Gerhard Boissiller, a naturalized citizen, was subjected to because his two sons, born here and living in St. Louis, would not report for enrollment in the German army, the authorities of Germany have given a decision in favor of Boissiller. When Boissiller senior returned to Germany he took his sons there with him, but they came back to this country before being of age, the father remaining in his native land. A San Francisco paper of the 7th inst. says: The effort to introduce 5 cent nickel coins in California having failed, and Congress having refused to remonetize the silver 5 cent piece, relief has been sought in a new and somewhat unexpected quarter. A few years ago, it will be remembered, Japan made a long step forward in the adoption of Sunday ideas and customs. One of these related to the currency, which is modelled after our system. An enterprising Montgomery street broker has secured a large quantity of Japanese 5 Sen, a coin that corresponds to our half dime. It is of the same fineness, but heavier, 50 of the Japanese 5 Sen being equal to 57 of the American half dime. It is a pretty coin, and ought to take the place of our tinckets and panteboard checks now no frequently used. These coins can be had at par in gold, and as they contain more silver than the half dime, there is no longer any excuse for using shinglaster substitutes. SQUIRREL POISON.—The following mixture prepared under the direction of Dr. C. Grattan, has been used with remarkable success in destroying squirrels on that gentleman's farm: One ounce of crystallized strychnine, half a teaspoonful of brown sugar, water sufficient to make a syrup, 22 drops of oil of sodium, 22 drops of oil of anise; mix thoroughly together. Take seven quarts of wheat, wash the grain well, strain off the water, add the above mixture to the wheat and mix well. Distribute the wheat, putting five to ten grains at a place. Wheat thus prepared has been distributed close to a stack of unthreshed wheat on Dr. Grattan's farm, and it is found that the squirrels eat it in preference to the other. They not only eagerly devour the prepared wheat, but actually eat the squirrels that have been killed by its use, thereby destroying the scalp and saving the bounty fund.—Stockton Independent, August 5th. The editor of the Suisun Republican is a candidate for Senator. He says in his paper that he wants to start on his campaign, and solemnly adds: "He is poor, and is running on a poor man's ticket, and consequently must ask the assistance of his friends. He must have a way to get over the country, and he does not own a rig, neither does he feel able to hire one. Mr. A. L. Chapman has very kindly placed a horse at his disposal. Mr. P. J. Christler loaned him a good harness, and all he lacks now is a buggy. What friend of reform has a buggy he has no use for and can spare for a few weeks, for a good cause!" A dispatch from Salt Lake City dated the 6th says: The Bane-Mason horse-whipping case came up in the Mormon Police Court this morning, and Bane was held in $1,000 bonds. In going out of the court room into the hall, all the doors were closed and locked on Bane, when he was set upon by a number Mormons, including Musser and other elders and Bishops, and beaten in a most horrible manner, after the true Danite style. His friends could not resurge him from the Mormons had nearly finished their victim. Several arrests have been made. Bane is now in the hospital. Valentine Wolfstine, tried in the City Criminal Court yesterday, on a charge of having taken obscene pictures at his photograph gallery, was acquitted by the jury. The defense claimed that an attempt to extort blackmail from the accused had been made, and that because he refused to submit to it "in job was put up" on him and the prosecution instituted, with a view to ensure a conviction and rain him in his business.—B.
