Father O'Kane said: "The staple crop of the tenant farmer have entirely disappeared from cereal crops still lie unripe and the fields, and the turf, the cow-man, by incessant rain, he spread field of the mountain speaking what is false, I have 'No, no.'] If ever there was checkered history of our countriest priest of God should open his eyes cannot be closed to the eyes must be attentive to the demands, and, therefore, I should sound the tones of dangers. [Cheers.] We have neither to dictate, nor bully, nor we have come here to declare world that except the Irish people by seasonable relief the Irish pass in the year 1879 from the birth. Rev. Conway said: "We are all the air of a Pharisee, that has stricken the people, and he wither under the effects of Hallow me to tell you that you have down gradually, but unmute under the anger of Providence the fury of the elements, but the country under which you hear." This is the source of your afflictions, and until that can afford that affliction will continue, my smiles you may receive from other landlord." The New York papers have at the Second Adventists some of that belief had fixed it of November as the day on which would end, and had made it for that important event. Our prominent Adventists in the E. Green, makes the following: "The story came about in long ago, at a meeting of Cooper Union, it was said that Rickettson, or something of the dream that the world would do today. Nobody put any one has made any special White robes! Now, that is will give $500 if you will any body of Adventists he to meet the Lord in the believe in the Lord's second that he will come personally know exactly when that occurs. The signs of the times point ing. Revelation teaches Pope loses his temporal power world is not far off. Now his temporal power,and the time..." IRELAND'S LAND LAWS. The land laws of Ireland, always oppressive, are now bearing upon the peasantry so as almost to incite open rebellion. The telegrams which now burden the wires tray a lamentable condition of affairs in Emerald Isle. The crops have failed, peasantry in many districts are on the edge of starvation, rents are due, and because it is not in the power of the tenant to pay, wholesale evictions are threatened, centered in this way, the proverbial hot blood of the Celt boils as he thinks of the Irish laws and harsher landlords which takes any effort on his part to bet his condition an almost impossible task. The condition of the Irish masstant in the best of years is not one which would incite envy in any breast; but when famine adds its horrors, a less patient people would be driven to rebel against the houses which hold them down. Mr. Parnell, the Irish M. C., to whom countrymen look for advice and assistance in this crisis, explained to a correspondent of a New York paper lately his plans legislation which will remedy the chief deviance of the Irish people. He proposes that the English Government shall purchase the land of Ireland from its present proprietors, and that the tenants shall then be installed as proprietors, under conditions requiring them to pay yearly installments, which in thirty-two years will cover principal and interest. The Government, it is urged, would lose nothing, as in all cases that the tenant proved incapable or immei- The speculators who have heretofore tried to make an honest penny by buying property at tax sale will feel disquieted at some recent decisions of the Fifteenth District Court. The points in the decision are these: The Political Code requires the assessment to be made to the owner, if known; but if unknown, then to unknown owners. But tax collectors and assessors have almost invariably adopted a phraseology which does not comply with the law. Thus, in the case of Raymond vs. Benson, an action to recover possession of land in San Francisco, the plaintiff relied upon a tax deed executed by the Tax Collector in 1878, which recites that the land was assessed to "unknown owners, and all owners known and unknown." The defendant objected to the tax deed offered in evidence, upon the authority of Grotefend vs. Ultz. In the latter case the Court held that as the land was assessed to "D. B. Mattock and to all owners or claimants known or unknown," the requirements of sections 3,628, 3,635 and 3,636 of the Political Code had not been complied with, and that a tax deed in the form mentioned conveys no title. The Court accordingly granted the defendant, Benson, a non-suit. The Rural Press of November 22nd contains an article written by L. D. Morse, of San Mateo, in which the writer endeavors to make it appear that sugar making from beets could never be made to pay in any country where sugar cane grows, for the reason that cane contains double the quanti- Ye Old Folk's Concert. The Fair and Old-time Entertainment at Kroeger's Hall on Thanksgiving Day, given under the management of the ladies of the Episcopal Church, was certainly the best attended and most successfully carried out entertainment ever given here. Everyone was pleased with it—the managers were pleased because the attendance was so much greater than they had expected, and the audience were pleased because the concert and other features of the affair were so very superior to what they had expected. This mutual feeling of satisfaction went a great way to enhance the enjoyment of each individual present. The hall was visited by a number of people during the afternoon, and a substantial Thanksgiving dinner was partaken by the visitors. The entertainment began between 7 and 8 o'clock in the evening. Miss Alice Chase reciting some verses illustrative of the scenes to be presented. This was succeeded by a scene in which Miss Crane, Miss Bremermann and Mr. Bancroft took part, and in which Miss B. was woofed won in a manner most abrupt. The curtain next rose upon a meetin' house, in which were seated a large congregation, dressed in ye olden style. After the preposterous bonnets of the ladies had been gathered up and taken away by the good deacon, services were opened by Elder Croft (Mr. Witherbee, of Orange,) who officiated with becoming decorum andunction. Several anthems were sung by the choir, led by ye timeist, personated by Dr. Cowan. The singing was very good, and At the great meeting held at Sligo last month, fully 20,000 people were present, and a notable feature was the interest taken by the Clergy, who, as a general thing, hold loot from such gatherings. Some idea of the views entertained by the people in regard to the land laws may be gathered from the following extracts taken from speeches made by well-known priests: Father Conway, parish priest, said: It is not the winds and storms, nor the wintry summers, but it is the laws under which you live that have brought this misery, and until you change these laws you shall never succeed in securing for yourselves and families the happiness and comfort which they should enjoy. The laws are the cause of the threatened famine. In 47 thousands and thousands of tons of breadstuff were sent away from your country, and your countrymen dying by the thousands along the ditches, and the same would be done to morrow, because the laws must be obeyed—the laws should be obeyed! What laws? The laws that are reducing the people of Ireland necessarily and essentially to starvation. Rev. John Griffin, parish priest, said: "They tell us it is impossible to found a peasant propriety, or change this land system of ours. There is no such word as impossible in the vocabulary of a strong Cabinet and a powerful Government when legislating for the establishment of a peasant proprietary, which is in accordance with God's own law, and the natural principles implanted in man." Rev. M. J. McHale said: "We pledge ourselves and call upon all Ireland to endorse it, that no man shall occupy a farm out of which a tenant has been evicted." Father O'Kane said: "The potatoes, the staple crop of the tenant farmers of Ireland, have entirely disappeared from the land, the cereal crops still lie unripe and withered in the fields, and the turf, the coal of the Irishman, by incessant rain, has lost on the spread field of the mountain. I am not speaking what is false, I hope. [Cries of 'No, no.'] If ever there was a time in the checkered history of our country when the priest of God should open his mouth, I say it is the melancholy Autumn of 1879. His eyes cannot be closed to the distress, his eyes must be attentive to their reasonable ants known or unknown," the requirements of sections 3,628, 3,635 and 3,636 of the Political Code had not been complied with, and that a tax deed in the form mentioned conveys no title. The Court accordingly granted the defendant, Benson, a non-suit. The Rural Press of November 22nd contains an article written by L. D. Morse, of San Mateo, in which the writer endeavors to make it appear that sugar making from beets could never be paid to any country where sugar cane grows, for the reason that cane contains double the quantity of sugar that the beet does. Mr. Morse has evidently not read the report made by Prof. Hilgard, of the State University, in which that authority found sixty-four pounds of sugar in one hundred pounds of sun-dried beets. We know of no arithmetical process by which it could be demonstrated that one hundred pounds of cane could contain twice sixty-four pounds of sugar. In Louisiana, the cane growers hold views decidedly the reverse of Mr. Morse. They are filled with gloomy forebodings in regard to the future of the cane sugar industry, and believe that beet sugar is destined to supplant its rival. The editorial utterances of the New Orleans Times on this subject, which we published two weeks ago, is commended to the attention of Mr. Morse and those who hold similar views. A NEWSPAPER correspondent met General Toombs at Atlanta recently, and asked him who would be the next President. "Grant," he replied promptly. "He will be the next President and the last President." "After Grant—what?" "The Empire, by God! I am ready for it; it is part of the inevitable. When the North, by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, injected 500,000 savages into the belly of the Constitution, they made popular government impossible." It is a consolation to know, however, that as a prophet Toombs has been even less successful than as a soldier. He it was who, twenty years ago, prophesied that he would call the roll of his slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill, a feat which, if our memory serves us right, has never been accomplished. DEMOCRATIC and Republican journals are greatly rejoiced at the evidences of Denis Kearney's waning power. They think that when that demagogue is relegated to the rear, the constituent parts of that party of which he is President will fall back into the political organizations which they erstwhile abandoned. We think the journalistic cackling a little premature. Kearney's forced retirement from the leadership of the Workingmen's party would add to its strength instead of detracting it. This is especially true of this southern country. The position of Kearney in the party prevents many good and true citizens from giving it their countenance and support. W. H. H. Graham, an advocate of pho- by a scene in which Miss Crane, Miss Bremermann and Mr. Bancroft took part, and in which Miss B. was wooped and won in a manner most abrupt. The curtain next rose upon a meetin' house, in which were seated a large congregation, dressed in ye olden style. After the preposterous bonnets of the ladies had been gathered up and taken away by the good deacon, services were opened by Elder Croft (Mr. Witherbee, of Orange) who officiated with becoming decorum andunction. Several anthems were sung by the choir, led by ye timeist, personaged by Dr.Cowan. The singing was very good, and the quaintness of the words and music added zest to the renditions. And then followed a series of most amusing incidents—the bans were called for the third time, and an objection to the marriage by one of young members of the congregation, on the ground that he wanted to marry the gal himself, were promptly overruled; Deacon Jedidiah Holmes was publicly reproved for kissing his wife on Sunday, his plea that it was his wife that did the kissing not being entertained. These and other ludicrous scenes provoked great laughter and merriment. The next scene was a wedding reception, the guests being introduced by Sambo (H. R.Hagna) who made much merriment by his oddities. The colored lady (Mrs.Kelogg) also made much amusement by her manner. Mrs.Olden personated Lady Washington with great grace, and received the guests with the stately courtesy of old time. After the wedding knot had been tied, Mr. and Mrs.Lyman and another lady from Westminster, whose name has escaped us, took part in a scene which created roars laughter. Mr.Lyman as Elder Sniffles sick with influenza; Mrs.Lyman as the pert servant inclined to tattle, and the other lady as Widow Bedot, with a tender feeling away down in her heart for the Elder, and her preposterous remedies for the good man's ailments, made the most of their several parts. An instrumental duet by Mrs.Lawrence and Mr.John Hartung, former on the organ and the latter with violin, was loudly cheered; they were compelled to respond to an encore. The ungoily fiddle was objected to by the Quaker guests, and they withdrew from the reception in high dudgeon. In no wise put out by this exhibition of righteous anger, the good Elder announced a song by Jenny Lind (Mrs.Rice). This lady sang "When the Flowing Tide comes in" with great sweetness of tone. "The American Flag" was declaimed by Mr.Dras Granges, after which an exorciatingly funny little song was given by Miss Alice Chase, and in response to an encore she sang "Kitty of Coloraine." Mrs.Partington and Ike (Mrs.Lynill and Charlie Higgins) next claimed attention, and the garrulous old lady expatiated upon a great many things, in a very short space of time. Mrs.Howe, of Westminster, sang an old song in a pure,sweet voice, and then Mesdames Wenger and Rice sang a duet,their voices blending together in perfect harmony.Mr.Rice played exquisitely on the violin，accompanied by the organ by Mrs.Rice,and he receiv- Key.

[Cheers.] We have come here neither to dictate, nor bully, nor incite, but we have come here to declare before the world that except the Irish people be succeeded by seasonable relief the Irish people must pass in the year 1879 from the land of their birth. Rev. Conway said: "We are told, with all the air of a Pharisee, that the Almighty has stricken the people, and has made them wither under the effects of His anger. Allow me to tell you that you have been going down gradually, but unmistakably, not under the anger of Providence, not under the fury of the elements, but by the laws of the country under which you live." "[Hear, hear.] This is the source of your threatened afflictions, and until that cause is removed that affliction will continue, no matter what smiles you may receive from that or the other landlord." The New York papers have been scouting at the Second Adventists lately because some of that belief had fixed upon the 14th of November as the day on which the world would end, and had made all preparations for that important event. One of the most prominent Adventists in the city, Mr. M. E. Green, makes the following explanation: "The story came about in this way. Not long ago, at a meeting of our people in Cooper Union, it was said that a man named Rickettson, or something of that kind, had a dream that the world would come to an end to-day. Nobody put any faith in it; no one has made any special preparation. White robes? Now, that is all humbug. I will give $500 if you will show me where any body of Adventists have got ready to meet the Lord in that way. We believe in the Lord's second coming, and that he will come personally; but we don't know exactly when that coming will be. The signs of the times point to a near coming. Revelation teaches that when the Pope loses his temporal power the end of the world is not far off. Now he has lost his temporal power, and the time must be near." W. H. H. Graham, an advocate of phonetic reform, called on us the other day and illustrated his hobby through the medium of his little daughter, 6 years of age, who read quite fluently. Mr. Graham's views are embodied in the following: Evriw wun haz a rite tu assist in the improvement ov the Inglish speling, but no wun haz a moral rite tu uze it az it iz. No wun haz a rite to uze s for z, o for u, y for i, ed for t, ph for l, or praktis other such like desepson upon the mindz ov inosent children. He will probably return here and give a lecture and exhibition, of which due notice will be given. The suit to oust the officials elected in San Francisco, on the ground that they had bribed voters by subscribing to a pledge requiring them to pay back into the municipal treasury a portion of the salaries allowed them, came to a sudden termination in the County Court on the discovery being made that the Court had no jurisdiction. The Indian agent estimates that there are 3000 Mission Indians in Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. In his annual report the agent recommends an appropriation of $50,000, to be used to purchase land for the Indians—good arable land which they can cultivate and make a living from. The postal authorities have received directions that hereafter, when they know matter deposited in their offices is destined for any well-known city, although the State may not be given, it must be forwarded to its destination. The Journal learns that the San Gabriel orange growers have been offered $25 per thousand for their entire crop, to be delivered at the railroad depot. The American flag was decimated by des Granges, after which an excruciatingly funny little song was given by Miss Alice Chase, and in response to an encore she sang "Kitty of Coloraine." Mrs. Partington and Ike (Mrs. Lynill and Charlie Higgins) next claimed attention, and the garrulous old lady expatiated upon a great many things, in a very short space of time. Mrs. Howe, of Westminster, sang an old song in a pure sweet voice, and then Mesdames Wenger and Rice sang a duet, their voices blending together in perfect harmony. Mr. Rice played exquisitely on the violin, accompanied on the organ by Mrs. Rice, and he received an encore to which he responded with a lively air. An anthem by the choir closed the entertainment, after which the audience proceeded to discuss a most bountiful wedding supper. The great crowd present made a long wait on the part of some necessary, but the delay was so palpably unavoidable and so evidently beyond control of the managers, that every one took the situation in good part. There are many features of the entertainment to which we would like to refer if we had time, but the early hour at which we go to press prevents the preparation of such a notice as the merit of the entertainment entitles it to. All those who took part in the performance acted conscientiously and well, dressing with care and taste, and in some instances costumes were very rich and elaborate. The ladies to whom was assigned the hard laborious task of looking after the kitchen department deserve individually a vote of thanks for their services. It is estimated that the profits will be about $240—which is more than sufficient to pay off the indebtedness of the church. A card. The ladies having charge of the entertainment given on Thanksgiving Day return thanks to their many friends for the full attendance with which they were favored, and most especially to those in the surrounding country and towns and in Anaheim who aided them so generously in donations and by assistance. In justice to themselves, they beg leave to say that but for the conduct of certain parties, some of whom were recognized, who crowded upon the tables, and not only helped themselves, but took away provisions in quantity, there would have been amply sufficient food for all. They regret exceedingly that any should have left the hall unprovided with supper. Gardens Thanksgiving citizens are collecting of friends to celebrate tom.

KELLER'S ADVICE CRITICISED. An Expert's Views as to the Kind of Vines to Plant - A Plea for Progress - Seasonable Suggestions. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25, 1879. EDITOR GAZETTE:—In your issue of the 21st inst. is published a letter by Mr. M. Keller, of Los Angeles, in which he gives the advice to those who find the old Mission grape productive and reliable enough, not to seek any other variety for the southern counties. Mr. Keller adds that grape will make sherry, port, angelica and brandy perhaps better than any other grape. This advice must be based upon experience, and as Mr. Keller is one of the wine-growers of longest standing, his experience must be a considerable one, and entitled to respect. The writer of the present is greatly in favor of the Mission grape, and has admired in the southern counties that prolific vine, and had opportunity to observe its produce from the grape to one year old wines of the descriptors Mr. Keller mentions made of that grape. Not only this, but also in the country where the progenitors of the California Mission vines came, Spain, the writer has handled many thousand pipes of white Mission wines from the grape to several years of development. Now I know it to be a fact that none but the most common wines can be made from the Mission grape. For a wonder a cask of Mission wine, grown perhaps on soil which contained all the elements for it, may have turned out a noble wine, but it may just as well be suspected that the ennobling qualities in it were derived from an addition of some grape nobler Thankful that church, school house, store and blacksmith shop are still palpable facts; that houses were not unroofed, wind-mills demolished nor trees uprooted; thankful that surplus sand and dust has been borne upon its wings into the briny deep; thankful that all misms are dispelled, and that mountains and neighboring towns stand out clear-cut in the crisp atmosphere; and thankful in an especial degree that Death came not in the roaring, tearing blow as it did to so many in the fearful tornadoes which swept through the Eastern States about the same time. And now that the blow is over, and we are filling every crevice of our lungs with pump air, such as is our inheritance in this delightful climate, it recalls some lines that I extract from my scrap book, and bag you to reprint as applicable to those who have authority in church or school house, or any public resort whatever. The rhyme will attract for its quaintness and wit, and its moral, if rightly improved, will relieve many a dizzy head and oppressed pair of lungs: A PELE FOR ARE: 2- THE SEXTANT OF THE OLD BRICK MEETIN' OUSK.

On Thursday morning the ground was frozen one-fourth of an inch deep, which is conclusive evidence that semi-tropical fruits will not do in our section. The frost has done us one great favor in destroying the flies, so that we can eat hash with a much better relish. Several of our neighbors caught the Arizona fever and left for there this week; hope they may be cured. Mr. S. Bennett shipped seven tons of lichen and lard this week to Tucson, A. T., where he is opening a store which he intends to superintend himself by going out next month. He is now killing thirty-five hogs per day and after the meat is cured he will order the meat shipped out, as he wants it for the Arizona trade. Mr. E. J. Baldwin is fencing large tracts of the Temple estate for his renters. Several carloads of posts and boards have arrived. We have had a good crop of apples in this section, which are nearly all gathered. Good winter apples are selling at $1 per bushel.
