J. K. TUFFREE. THE "EARTH TO EARTH" PRINCIPLE. THE MARQUIS OF QUEENSBERRY holds some very peculiar and unpopular views, but he is endowed with backbone enough to boldly and publicly avow his beliefs. In a recent number of Vanity Fair, a London society journal read largely by the "upper ten" of England, is a very remarkable letter written by the Marquis—so remarkable, indeed, that the editor explains in a footnote that he consented to publish it with considerable hesitation, and only at the persistent and urgent request of the noble Marquis. It appears that the letter was called forth by some newspaper comments on the burial of Lady Truro, who, contrary to the usual custom, directed that her remains be enclosed in a wooden coffin only, and not in a leaden one. The newspapers, it seems, urged that if such a custom be permitted, "England would soon become one vast charnel-house," and urged the enactment of laws which should prevent such a very undesirable state of affairs. Queensberry, however, avows himself to be a believer in the "earth to earth," principle, and says that he has already, in his will, directed that his body be enclosed only with a wooden coffin. He would, had he the power, make it unlawful to bury any person in a leaden coffin, because he holds that to this cause is due all fevers and malaria. If, on the contrary, people were returned to the earth from which they came, everything nexious would be absorbed. "What is better and sweeter WINTER IN ANAHEIM. One of the great inducements to a winter residence in Anaheim is the fine hunting which this section of the country affords. To those fond of the sport, it is a veritable paradise, as much on account of "the lay" of the country as the abundance and variety of game. The hunter can pursue the sport all day and experience scarcely any fatigue, and given a good dog, there is not the slightest necessity for wetting more than the sole of the boot. Experienced sportsmen—men who have roamed the fields of both continents gun in hand—assure us that they have never known any country where the sportsman could more profitably and happily expend his time and ammunition. On the plains, rabbits, hares and quail abound in great numbers and afford fine sport; in the mountains, deer and mountain quail await the ambitions hunter, while the more daring sportsman can seek an encounter with the California grizzly bear, which here flourishes in all his native ferocity. Near the ocean ducks, geese, snipe and curlew swarm in great profusion, and one of the great requisites of a skillful hunter is a light wagon in which to bring home his game. He is a poor sportsman, indeed, who can't in a very few hours kill more than he can carry. The climate of Anaheim in winter is remarkable for mildness. A reference to the thermometrical table in another column will show that the lowest reading of the ther- Correspondence Faults in our Educational System. At last we have arrived at a period in the world's history which may be considered the practical age. There is now no safety in anything which is not absolutely practical. Intellectual concentrations have resulted in inventions which have nearly destroyed time and space. Engineers now make the fastest time on record. Horses are valued more highly for speed than avoirdupois. Brain and nerve activity is in greater demand than capacity for endurance. Time must be utilized to the best advantage. So the all-absorbing thought is to contrive to accomplish a vast deal in little time. Those engaged in all branches of industry have adopted new and improved methods, and economical systems. And while wonderful advancement has been made in the arts and sciences, we are compelled to think but little improvement has been made in the methods of tionation, which are yet greatly at fault, taking years of time under the present plan to acquire a knowledge of the common or rudimentary branches." The tedious method of learning to read and write the English language requires a life time. And until there is an orthographic reform, as there eventually will be, a great portion of time must be wasted in learning to spell. Phonography has discovered how many elemental sounds there are, and made an appropriation of a letter to every sound, and this plan should be universally adopted. Our teachers should be employed and paid to instruct our children new. As to the efficient officers satisfaction to their pany, even the gentlemen may place, there is new.

Queensberry, however, avows himself to be a believer in the "earth to earth," principle, and says that he has already, in his will, directed that his body be enclosed only with a wooden coffin. He would, had he the power, make it unlawful to bury any person in a leaden coffin, because he holds that to this cause is due all fevers and malaria. If, on the contrary, people were returned to the earth from which they came, everything nexious would be absorbed. "What is better and sweeter than clean, dry mould, which you may be in a few months? What is more horrible and pernicious than what you may be in a leaden coffin for years to come—poisoning, it may be, both air and water, to the detriment of your children's children." He ridicules the idea that this disposition of the dead would "make England a charnel-house," and says: "Is not the whole earth a vast channel-house! Is man the only thing that dies? What becomes of the myriads of the remains of animal life that goes the way of all flesh, and becomes a blessing to the earth instead of a curse. If man were returned to the earth in a natural way he would not alone be an exception to the blessing. Have yourself put into the ground in a leaden coffin, and you are cheating and cursing the earth." The English nobility seem to think this a favorable time for promulgating startling views. It is only last week that a dispatch came over the wires announcing that a member of the royal family (name not given) intended soon to renounce the Episcopal faith and join the Roman Catholic church. And now comes the noble Marquis of Queensberry and announces that he will not permit himself to be buried in consecrated ground, because he is not a Christian, and it appears to be the height of his ambition to proclaim that fact "in the hearing of a whole bench of Bishops." He says: "The man Christ I love and respect as I do all great humanitarians—that is all." But having got thus far our readers will perhaps wonder why we suppose they care what the Marquis of Queensberry thinks. THE PHYLLOXERA. MADRID, Dec. 1. — The vineyards of Malaga, covering an area of 29,660 hectares, have been attacked by phylloxera. The pest is increasing in Gerona and Catalonia. The above dispatch gives one an insight into the great ravages which the destructive phylloxera has made in European vineyards. A hectare is 2.471 acres, so that in the Malaga region alone the doomed area covers over 73,000 acres. No wonder that the best means of combating the pest is engaging the attention of all the scientific bodies in Europe. In the county of Sonoma, in our own State, many vineyards have suffered from phylloxera, and viticulturists in the northern counties do not attempt to conceal the apprehension they feel least the disease more daring sportman can seek an encounter with the California grizzly bear, which here flourishes in all his native ferocity. Near the ocean ducks, geese, snipe and curlew swarm in great profusion, and one of the great requisites of a skillful hunter is a light wagon in which to bring home his game. He is a poor sportsman, indeed, who can't in a very few hours kill more than he can carry. The climate of Anaheim in winter is remarkable for mildness. A reference to the thermometrical table in another column will show that the lowest reading of the thermometer during the week ending on Wednesday was 38°, and there is every probability that during the winter the temperature will never get more than seven or eight degrees below that reading. It is evident then, that a winter residence in Anaheim is to be desired by those whose health would suffer from a harsh climate, and the sport facts which are noted in the preceding paragraph show that there need be no fear of any very serious attack of ennui overtaking the sojourner, if he has the ambition or desire to pass a portion of his time in the pursuit of health and game. We acknowledge gratefully the receipt of a bound volume of the Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture for 1878. On first opening the volume we found the following paragraph of local interest: "A sample of tobacco was received from J.C. Davis, Los Angeles, Cal., for examination. The analysis was limited to the determination of the alkaloid nicotine. The air-dried sample contained 4.04 per cent of nicotine, an amount about midway between the weak tobaccos of Havana and the stronger ones of Virginia and Kentucky. The specimen analyzed possessed good color and good smoking qualities, and was apparently a superior tobacco in all respects." A German professor of pathology has published a book entitled "Makrobiotek and Eubavik," in which he seeks to demonstrate that the lemon is the true "Elixir of life," and that by the daily consumption of three or four lemons, life will be prolonged almost indefinitely. While it is very probable that this claim is all bosh, there can be no doubt of the fact that the lemon acid is beneficial in many instances. For some derangements of the stomach it is just what is required, and will give relief if use of the lemon is continued for a few days. SIR SAMUEL BAKER, a very veracious historian, says when the first British troops were sent to occupy Cyprus, the Commission appeared to have some very foggy ideas about what luxuries would be required, and took especial pains to send out a vast number of copper warming-pans. He adds that as the thermometer was above 100° Fahrenheit, the fiery furnaces seemed not to be appreciated. PUBLIC-HOUSES, i.e. saloons, are, in England, allowed to remain open nearly all day but Sunday. But we have just read in an sciences, we are compelled to think but little improvement has been made in the methods of tuition, which are yet greatly at fault, taking years of time under the present plan to acquire a knowledge of the common or rudimentary branches. The tedious method of learning to read and write the English language requires a life time. And until there is an orthographic reform, as there eventually will be, a great portion of time must be wasted in learning to spell. Phonography has discovered how many elemental sounds there are, and made an appropriation of a letter to every sound, and this plan should be universally adopted. Our teachers should be employed and paid to instruct our children in those branches which will fit them for the duties of after life. Philosophy, physiology and history can be learned without assistance of a teacher and may be classed with the unimportant branches. A knowledge of algebra is of little utility to the tradesman or mechanic. And an understanding of grammar is of little value to the hertzman or the husbandman. And the time consumed in solving or working out complex or decimal fractions could be more profitably employed by the young lady whose chief ambition is to become manager of domestic affairs. Under the present popular plan, much time is given to branches of learning which will never be of any practical value in life. Children differ in intellectual capacity, and were evidently intended for the varied spheres of life. Some are exceedingly apprehensive; others are slow of understanding, or in other words, dull of comprehension. Yet all are compelled to pursue the same course of studies. Every child, however insensible, apparently, is endowed with an especial gift. It is the duty of parents to ascertain what endowment is, and cultivate that faculty, which will develop itself, so that when men or women find at last the position which they by their inherent organization were intended to fill, they may be prepared to discharge the duties of life reputably, successfully and satisfactorily; and an education that will achieve this result is what we most need. Not that we disapprove of those we have termed unimportant branches being taught in our public schools, for there are those in every school with legal, clerical, medical or scholarly ambition, to whom an opportunity should be afforded of acquiring a knowledge of these branches, which is necessary to hit them for a chosen profession. But none should be compelled to learn what they can never be expected to use advantageously. Comparatively few live by their learning. The majority live by the labor of their hands, and never bring into practical use the thousand useless lessons learned at school. We are surprised that in this age of utilitarianism the subject of practical education has received so little attention. MRS. D. M. HARWOOD. Orange Items. In a recent trip to Trabuco canyon we called upon an old friend, Mr. Samuel Shrewsbury, who had just returned from a trip of exploration to Arizona, and by whom we were so highly entertained that we concluded, as it was getting too dark to pursue our journey, to accept his invitation to remain his guest for the night. During the evening he entertained us with a description of his journey,and his impressions of that country,which was once the home of the Aztec race and which bears the evidences of a very ancient civilization having existed there. His descriptions of the remains of dwellings,castles,forts,e etc were intensely interesting. Canals for turning the waters so as to use the same for purposes of irrigation are found in universities we are compelled to think but little improvement has been made in the methods of tuition which are yet greatly at fault,taking years of time under the present plan to acquire a knowledge of the common or rudimentary branches.'

The above dispatch gives one an insight into the great ravages which the destructive phylloxera has made in European vineyards. A hectare is 2,471 acres, so that in Malaga region alone the doomed area covers over 73,000 acres. No wonder that the best means of combating the pest is engaging the attention of all the scientific bodies in Europe. In the county of Sonoma, in our own State, many vineyards have suffered from phylloxera, and viticulturists in the northern counties do not attempt to conceal the apprehension they feel lest the disease spread. There is one point, however, upon which there is an almost unanimous opinion, and that is that the phylloxera can never be a source of danger in this county. There are two reasons why immunity is assured to the vineyards here. The first is that the soil is too sandy; phylloxera has never been known to work on such soil. The second reason is that the most effectual way to destroy the insect is to flood the vineyards, and consequently it can never flourish where irrigation is practised. The Government officials at Washington have made up their annual estimates, and find that they can't possibly run the Government machine the next fiscal year for less than $136,347,129, which sum they ask Congress to grant. Of this sum, the army (which includes the expense of arsenals and forts) requires thirty-one millions; the navy, fourteen and a half millions; pensions, thirty-two and a half millions; Indians, five millions; internal revenue, four millions; postal department, seven and three-quarter millions; river and harbor improvements, five millions; Government buildings, three millions. These are the principal expenditures—the remaining few millions being distributed around promiscuously among this, that and the other departments. DAVITT, the Irish agitator who was imprisoned by the English authorities recently for treasonable utterances, thus succinctly stated in a speech the cause of all Ireland's troubles: The three thousand Irish landlords receive 20 million annually, or half the net earnings of 600,000 tenants, without putting hand to work; they spend nearly all that money in licentious and voluptuous living in London, Paris and elsewhere, thus draining the country of her resources. They must have the land owned by the tillers. SIR SAMUEL BAKER, a very veracious historian, says that when the first British troops were sent to occupy Cyprus, the Commissariat appeared to have some very foggy ideas about what luxuries would be required, and took especial pains to send out a vast number of copper warming-pans. He adds that as the thermometer was above 100° Fahrenheit, the fiery furnaces seemed not to be appreciated. PUBLIC HOUSES, i.e. saloons, are, in England, allowed to remain open nearly all day on Sunday. But we have just read in an English paper that a man was fined heavily for selling a glass of milk after 10 o'clock on the Lord's Day. Once more has an English magistrate decided that it is illegal for a man to marry his deceased wife's sister. But they keep a doin' of it all the same. San Francisco Market.

In a recent trip to Trabucco canyon we called upon an old friend, Mr. Samuel Shrewsbury, who had just returned from a trip of exploration to Arizona, and by whom we were so highly entertained that we concluded, as it was getting too dark to pursue our journey, to accept his invitation to remain his guest for the night. During the evening he entertained us with a description of his journey,and his impressions of that country, which was once the home of the Aztec race and which bears the evidences of a very ancient civilization having existed there. His descriptions of the remains of dwellings, castles, forts, etc. were intensely interesting. Canals for turning the walkers of rivers so as to use the same for purposes of irrigation are found in many places and of a magnitude fully equalling those of modern times. Mr. S. gathered numerous specimens of pottery which for design and finish might challenge like specimens of our existing civilization. His travels extended through the north-western portion of the Territory,and he was so favorably impressed with the country for its adaptness to cattle raising and grazing that he located a claim with that object in view,and intends going in the spring with his family to occupy it. He will be missed by the people of Orange,for no man possesses in a higher degree the confidence and esteem of his fellow men. Mr. Thomas who went out to Arizona in company with Rev. M. M. Messenger has just returned,and reports flatteringly of the country. Says he will go back next spring.I am informed that Mr. Messenger is teaching school there. It is reported that several of our young men,who in the fever of excitement last spring,s went there allured by the glittering prospect of wealth in one way or another,now wish themselves back.A little experience,however,a is good thing if not too dearly bought. They should remember that "a rolling stone gathers no moss." Mr. Brown, whose ranch is on the high table lands in Trabucco canyon,是 preparing to set a large vineyard of Muscat grapes. He will also sow a number of acres to Odessa wheat. The bee men in the canyon are buoyant with hope and expectation of a fine crop of honeythe coming season.Show we have abundant winter rains,their hope will doubtless be realized.As there is now little or no old honeyin the market,should there be a good crop,高 prices would doubtless rule and place our bee men again in clover. It is an old and trite saying that "new lords make new laws,"and this has to a certain extent been verified in the action of our new Board of Directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company. For some reason unknown to your correspondent,but doubtless satisfactory to themselves,they have seen fit to make a clean sweep of the several offices in their appointment by turning out the old incumbents and putting in AZETTE. NO. 8 new. As to the policy of displacing old and efficient officers who have given universal satisfaction to the stockholders of the Company, even though equally as competent gentlemen may have been appointed in their place, there is a shadow of a doubt. K. M. J. Westminster Items. Surprise and donation parties are the order of the day. The Rev. Washburn was visited on two evenings, when donations to the amount of $25 were given. The donation social to the Rev. Dr. Compton was a great success; a most bountiful supper being spread and about the same sum was handed to the Reverend Doctor. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were also visited and many useful presents remained as mementos of the evening. On Monday evening a party of over 100 surprised Mr. and Mrs. Lyman, the occasion being their Crystal wedding. After an elegant cold collation, "the fun grew fast and furious." The marriage vows were renewed, the officiating minister being the Rev. Washburn. Many handsome gifts were presented, and the party broke up quite late after a most pleasant evening had been passed. The Methodist church social will take place on Tuesday evening next, to which all are cordially invited. The programme will be short and the refreshments long. Mr. and Mrs. Booth left for Frisco on Wednesday, where they intend to reside for the future. Their departure is regretted by a large circle of friends. Mr. West has rented their ranch. Mrs. Fleming is now selling yeast at 5 cts per pint, and would be glad to supply a few more families. We can testify from personal experience that it is "way up." Since our last, several more houses, including the late store building from the mea, have been placed on town lots. Mr. CONGRESS assembled at noon on Monday, December 1st, and the session was formally opened, after which the President's message was read. The following synopsis of the message is taken from the San Francisco Call: In the matter of finance he proposes the gradual withdrawal of legal tenders from circulation, and a repeal of the law requiring the coinage of any fixed number of silver dollars. As the President opposed the present silver law in the first place, Congress will not probably be surprised that he should be opposed to it now. The retirement of legal tenders at the time of their commencing to serve fully the purpose for which they were issued, and when their popularity is demonstrated by the inability of the Government to force gold or silver into general circulation, is a recommendation which Congress will doubtless take the liberty to dismiss from a more popular point of view than the President occupies. The vexed question of Civil Service reform is one which claims the President's most serious attention. He opens the discussion with the assertion that his views have not changed, except as enlarged experience has served to give them shape and form. He is apparently more deeply impressed than at one time of the difficulty of putting Civil Service Reform into practice. He admits that every measure of reform must be compatible with the healthy existence of great partisan. He admits, also, that the responsible officials should be in harmony with too Administration—in other words, that the party which succeeds in a National election should fill the class of offices on which the carrying out of the policy of the Administration depends. This position would seem to admit the necessity for a change in the principal offices at each election, leaving the subordinate offices alone in subjection to Civil Servi- The Methodist church social will take place on Tuesday evening next, to which all are cordially invited. The programme will be short and the refreshments long. Mr. and Mrs. Booth left for Frisco on Wednesday, where they intend to reside for the future. Their departure is regretted by a large circle of friends. Mr. West has rented their ranch. Mrs. Fleming is now selling yeast at 5 cts per pint, and would be glad to supply a few more families. We can testify from personal experience that it is "way up." Since our last, several more houses, including the late store building from the maze, have been placed on town lots. Mr. Bently has moved what we suppose to be the commencement of an elegant residence on his property near town, probably with a view to matrimony! We also hear that Mr. Wheeler Casaboom has rented a house much too large for a single man. Mr. W. T. Rogers, residing at Mr. Strong's, cut his foot badly with an ax. We are glad to report that he is on a fair way to recovery. Rev. and Mrs. Field have removed to the Aldrich and Guiberson house in town. Mr. Wayman has left for the Centinela ranch pro tem, where he intends putting about 250 acres to wheat. A nice rain fell here on Sunday night, and as we write the clouds portend more. The monthly meeting of the Christian Union Temperance Society met in the Hall on Tuesday evening. President Neal in the chair. After some trouble in obtaining a Secretary, Mrs. Cochran consented to act as such. The principal discussion was, whether the names appended to the resolution carried at previous meeting should be placed on the "Journal," to which there was some dissent. It was finally resolved to let the matter stand over until next meeting. Savannah Items. In this vicinity our farmers are making fast headway in sowing their barley, and if throughout the county farmers are planting in the same proportion we will certainly have a very heavy harvest next season. The potato crop of El Monte is yielding a very fair crop, and I believe ten thousand sacks will be a low estimate for El Monte township. Mr. Robert Cummings, who was arrested on a charge of burning E. J. Baldwin's corn-crib in El Monte, had his final trial in Los Angeles Monday and Tuesday. The jury cleared Mr. C. of the crime, and he was set at liberty once more. Savannah's Literary or Debating Society will be permanently organized next Friday night for the winter campaign. Look out for some stirring leading questions when they get things in running order. Some of the leading questions of the day will be ably debated, such as the Greenback question, the difference between Nasby and Mark Twain in intellect, the Dred Scott Decision, one of the has been, also the Credit Mobilier and many others of vital importance in our day and generation. Since writing you last we have had an eighth of an inch of rainfall and about the same fall of fog. The S. P. R. R. are still busy sending out to the front tiers and bridge timbers. The passenger travel for A.T.for the past few days has been rather light. On last Sabbath, Mr. John Cleminson, aged 89, an old resident of El Monte, was buried at Savannah. The so-called whooping cough is in our neighborhood. Assessment that his views have not changed except as enlarged experience has served to give them shape and form. He is apparently more deeply impressed than at one time of the difficulty of putting Civil Service Reform into practice. He admits that every measure of reform must be compatible with the healthy existence of great parties. He admits, also, that the responsible officials should be in harmony with toe Administration—in other words, that the party which succeeds in a National election should fill the class of offices on which the carrying out of the policy of the Administration depends. This position would seem to admit the necessity for a change in the principal offices at each election, leaving the subordinate offices alone in subjection to Civil Service Reform. The responsibility of the subordinate is to those superior in official position whose instructions it is their duty to obey. The precise degree of activity which a Federal official may take in a political campaign is he admits, a hard question to settle. As a rule, he would say that they must not neglect their official duties to attend to politics, neither must they enforce their opinions on subordinates. They must be free to contribute to election expenses, but must not be required to. Subordinates may exercise a citizen's right to give, but must not be made to contribute under the pains and penalties of removal if they fail to do so. President's Civil Service ideas, as well as his practice, is somewhat elastic, but his message leaves the inference that he would like to see a little reform in that respect if it could be carried out without hurting the party too much. As a means of getting competent officials, he recommends a Commission to put applicants through a course of competitive examination, and recommends Congress to vote an appropriation to support such Commission. The message refers briefly and in favorable terms to the proposed inter-oceanic canal. He thinks it should be constructed under the "protective auspices" of the United States, the right of way being given by the Government through whose territory the canal would pass. Our foreign relations are without exception satisfactory. There is no speck of war on the horizon. Especially are our relations with Mexico improved, with every prospect of a more intimate commercial and social intercourse than has existed in the past. On the somewhat important subject of Chinese immigration we have the vague assurance that the Chinese Government has signified its willingness to "consider the question of the emigration of its subjects with a dispassionate fairness, and to co-operate in such measures as may tend to prevent injurious consequences to the United States." At this interesting stage of proceedings negotiations are said to be pending. On the Indian question, he practically agrees with the Secretary of the Interior. More stringent laws are urged for the suppression of polygamy in Utah. As a whole the message is a conservative and practical state paper. Its style of composition is clear, and generally free from any striving after effect in the way of fine writing. It is thoroughly good tempered, free from complaints of short-comings on the part of Congress, though firm in the maintenance of the President's own views. Board of Supervisors. MONDAY, Dec. 1, 1879.

Reports, maps and field notes of viewers on the Newport Landing road received and the case set for hearing January 7th, the Clerk to notify non-consenting land owners. Petition for Laguna Canyon road. Denied for the reason that the Board having viewed the premises consider that the granting of said petition would be injurious to the best interests of the petitioners, as said road is not a public necessity. Petition for a road from the mouth of the Laguna Canyon road along the beach to Thurston's land. Denied for the reason that its construction would cost too much money and is not a public necessity. On motion the old Los Angeles and San Diego road across the San Joaquin ranch is hereby vacated and abandoned, a new road running parallel to it having been accepted and declared a public highway. Petition for Santa Susana School District. Rejected on recommendation of County Superintendent of Schools. A Galashiels (Scotland) paper records the following: Mr. John Allen of this town, a devoted apiarian, had a young hive, the condition of which he wished to improve. Owing to the bad season the skep did not contain enough honey to keep the bees over winter. Mr. Allen filled a fumigator with fungi—blind man's snuff is the popular name—and having secured the bees inside, inserted the pipe of the box-and blew in the fumes of the fungi. In a short time the bees were unconscious and were shaken out on to a clean board. Full combs taken from another hive were then fixed in the skep, and the still unconscious bees were returned to their now well-replenished house, and in a short time were as lively as ever. Don't Frown if you can Help it, But don't smile more than you are obliged to, if you have a mouthful of discolored teeth. If such is the case procure and use at least once every day, delightful SOZODONT, which will remove the unbecoming spots and speaks that disfigure your teeth; render them pearly white, make the game hard and rowy, and impart fragrance to your breath. SOZODONT, moreover, contains no corrosive acids or gritty particles, which is the case with some denitrifies but is eminently safe as well as thoroughly effective. Sold by druggists. 1-121
