J. K. TUFFREE. THE MERITS OF VARIOUS GRAPES. The discussion as to the best variety of grapes to plant, started by Mr. F. Pohndorff in the Gazette, is bringing out the opinions of men whose experience entitle their utterances on this subject to respectful regard. In the Los Angeles Herald of last Saturday Mr. L. J. Rose, of San Gabriel, gives his views on the matter. He agrees with Mr. Pohndorff that there are varieties of grapes which are much better than the Mission, and which grow equally as well in this county. The Zinfandel, Blane Elba, Berger, Reising and Gutedel all make better wine than the Mission and yield almost 50 per cent more grapes to the acre. Mr. Rose's favorite grape for white wine is the Blane Elba. This grape was brought from Germany by the late Jacob Keller of Anaheim, from whom Mr. Rose obtained cuttings. During a visit of the writer to Mr. Rose's vineyard, he heard much of this variety of grape, and saw that Mr. Rose considered it superior to any other variety in his vineyard. Mr. Rose informed us that it did better on high lands, where irrigation was not used; but this must be only conjecture on his part, as no one in Anaheim has given this grape a trial, and its adaptability for this place is yet to be determined. Of the Zinfandel, Mr. Rose, in common with every other grower, speaks highly. The Berger grape is highly recommended by Mr. Rose, who thinks it yields double the quantity of the Mission. The honor of introducing this grape also belongs to Anaheim. The audiophone is a new instrument which enables deaf people to hear with their teeth. Its inventor, R. G. Rhodes, of Chicago, is deaf, and discovered the principle of the audiophone by accident. He was experimenting with a view to find some way in which he could hear his watch tick, and was just about to give up when he without design, touched the watch with his teeth, and was surprised to find that the ticking was distinctly audible to him. A New York paper thus describes the instrument and some experiments that were made upon it by a class of deaf mutes: The instrument has the shape and size of an ordinary stiff fan, and it may be used as such. It is made of a composition said to possess the property of gathering sounds and conveying the sensation to the auditory nerve through the medium of the teeth, the external ear having nothing to do with the hearing in this manner. The material resembles gutta percha. Small cords running from the thin edges and converging at the handle serve to bend the blade of the instrument to the proper curve for hearing to the best advantage under different conditions. When in use, the edge of the thin curved blade is touched to one of the upper teeth. The mutes tested the audiophone. A young man who had been deaf from infancy heard words spoken in the tone of ordinary conversation. A little girl who was born deaf indicated by signs and looks of surprise that she heard the sounds of voices; but never having heard any sound, she did not know the meaning of the words. Instruments were placed in the hands of the entire class, and a lady sang, accompanied by an organ. At the sound of the first notes the faces of the mutes expressed great surprise, and when the voice of the singer rose and fell, and the harmony of the accompaniment blended with the voice, the pleasure of the mute listeners was manifested. Their faces lighted up and their hands moved up and until children accordance physiological unchecked can cure it ment can erratic instillate as they protect criminal whiteness let us nips love care in parent love and purity from their guilt with the unequal law, and eld and social nature's law.

THE TEMPORARIALLY UNDERSTANDABLE HAVE BEEN LIKE A The Governor and Council of Maine, whose duty it is to issue certificates of election to those whom the returns show to have received a majority of the votes cast at any State election, have in a spirit of partisanism and unfairness "counted out," on the pretense of fraudulent voting, a number of Republicans who were elected to the State legislature, result being to give the control of that body to the Fusionists, (Greenbackers and Democrats.) Some of the most prominent Democrats of Maine denounce this action as being in accordance neither with law or justice, and the feelings of Republican may be imagined. The New York World, the leading Democratic paper, says that Governor Garcelon and his Council have made a serious political and moral misuse of this place yet to be determined. Of the Zinfandel, Mr. Rose, in common with every other grower, speaks highly. The Berger grape is highly recommended by Mr. Rose, who thinks it yields double the quantity of the Mission. The honor of introducing this grape also belongs to Anaheim, and it is grown very successfully here. It makes a light table wine of the character of the German Sauterne. The Burgundy grape is recommended for heavy red wine. Although its growth herefore has been confined to Santa Clara and San Jose counties, Mr. Rose is of the opinion that it would do equally well in this county. His letter closes by speaking favorably of the Muscat of Alexandria as a brandy grape and the West St. Peters as a Sherry grape. The Gazette is particular in giving every item of information it can get hold of concerning grape culture, because the fact is becoming more and more apparent that it is bound to become the chief industry of this county, and because of the further fact that advice is sought daily as to what are the best and most profitable varieties. In this connection we have one idea which we desire to impress upon those who intend to plant vineyards in this vicinity, but who propose to sell their grapes instead of making wine themselves, and it is this: More deference should be paid to the advice of those wine-makers who will probably purchase the grapes than to any of the views advanced by gentlemen, however able and experienced, in other localities. If the wine-makers here say they will pay high prices for Zinfandel, Black Malvoise and Mission grapes, it would be the height of folly to disregard such announcement and plant Blane Elba, for instance, no matter how well it is regarded in some other locality. We propose soon to give the views of the vineyardists of Anaheim in regard to the kind of grapes they prefer to purchase. The Literary Union, The society convened at the usual place and at the usual time. The President and Vice President being absent, the Secretary called the meeting to order. Mr. C. W. Campbell was elected President pro tem. Miss Carrie Seibert, Miss Fannie Higgins and Miss Lahra Campbell sang a song entitled "Maggie May." Mr. E. M. Ferguson read a humorous selection called "The Sad Fate of Joe Maggininis," which convulsed the audience with laughter. Mr. Saxton and Mr. Henderson answered the queries. After recess the question, Resolued. That the French Revolution aided the cause of liberty in Europe, was discussed affirmatively by Messrs. Henderson and Pavee and negatively by Messrs. Guinn and Saxton. The committee decided in favor of the negative. The following programme was adopted for the next meeting; Music; recitation, Miss Nellie Kuechle; reading, Miss Ella Mitchell; recitation, Miss Rosa Campbell; reading, F. P. Marsh; music; declaation, Otto des Granges; recitation, Miss Mary Kraemer; declamation, Charles Higgins; reading, Miss Lennie Saxton; declamation, F. W. Athearn; music; declamation, E. M.

When we look abroad and behold the vast amount of crime, pauperism, wretchedness and ignorance that everywhere prevails, the soul sickens with the sight; but even in our own country, the finest and most enlightened nation of earth, learning and intelligence, industry and thrift so generally prevail and which has given us a name abroad, and become the boast of our people at home, the pull of ignorance and depravity hangs over us like a cloud, darkening the horizon of our greatness, and making the thoughtful and observant almost doubt the superiority of our boasted civilization. To cure and suppress crime, the wisdom of our legislators has been taxed to the utmost since the foundation of the government, and almshouses, penitentiaries, jails and houses of correction, together with asylums and hosts of other charities suggested by the philanthropists of the age, have been established and supported at an ENORMOUS OUTLAY OF MONEY, But all to little or no purpose, for it is a statistical fact that with our advance in population and civilization pari pares is the increase of pauperism, degradation and crime, and this notwithstanding the influence of Sabbath schools, churches and Sabbath religious ministrations. With these facts before us it becomes a very serious question, and one that should be addressed to every home in the land, what further shall be done to correct these monster evils? At this point I will mention a few suggestions in the hope that other minds more capable may be induced to think and act upon the thoughts here presented. The wise man has said that "the agitation of thought is the beginning of wisdom," and from the conflict of ideas progress will be evolved. The great want of the world, and which is patent to the mind of the most casual observer is, A BETTER STOCK OF MEN AND WOMEN, And how is this most desirable result to be obtained? I answer, by clearly understanding the laws of generation and hereditary descent especially, and the general laws of life as incubated in physiological science, and yielding obedience and conformity thereto. Although this class of knowledge is so essential to the well-being and happiness of mankind, yet it is but a few years since physiology has been thought worthy of a place in the curriculum of study in our schools and colleges, and even now it is regarded as a more ornamental than useful, while the Greek and Latin languages, which belong to an effete civilization, are retained as essential, and a knowledge of which is regarded as a qualification to entitle one to the highest honors in our universities and colleges. OUR SYSTEMS OF EDUCATION, Although improving with the advance of thought, are as yet defective in this that they are too purely intellectual, ignoring almost entirely the physical and moral culture so necessary to the fully developed man and woman. They proceed upon the idea that education consists in storing the mind from without, by force if need be with all the sciences and all the elements of knowledge, while per contra to educate is to develop and unfold the individual in his or her entirety in harmony with the laws of their being. To the immortal Freud is due the honor of discovering the true principle of education which is illustrated in his kindergarten methods, and until the same principles are adopted in those schools and branches of education adapted to older pumines are regularly soon as you see Tucson is so situated territory population so are now Pina County number.

Some of the most prominent Democrats of Maine denounce this action as being in accordance neither with law or justice, and the feelings of Republican may be imagined. The New York World, the leading Democratic paper, says that Governor Garcelon and his Council have made a serious political and moral mistake, for which the Democratic party will have to pay dearly. It advises those Fusionists who have been "counted in" to refuse to accept the proffered offices. SECRETARY OF STATE BECK has compiled a pamphlet giving the names of the candidates for State offices on the various tickets at the last general election, and the vote each received; names of the Superior Judges-elect; names of the Senators and Assemblymen elected, their politics and their residences, etc. According to his classification, the Senate will be composed of 22 Republicans, 5 Democrats, 8 Workingmen, 1 Workingmen and New Constitution, 1 Workingmen, New Constitution and Republican, 2 New Constitution and Democrat, and 1 Workingmen, New Constitution and Democrat. The Assembly will consist of 37 Republicans, 14 Democrats, 2 New Constitution and Republicans, 17 Workingmen, 3 Workingmen and New Constitution, 2 New Constitution and Democrats, 3 Workingmen and Republicans, 1 Union ticket and 1 New Constitution. A new way to annul an objectionable law has been put into practice in Wyoming Territory. The legislature which lately adjourned had enacted a law materially reducing the salaries of all county officers. On the night of the 15th inst., the office of the Territorial Secretary was broken into and the Fee Bill abstracted from among a mass of papers, from which we infer that, the manuscript being destroyed, the provisions of the law cannot be enforced. Various county officers are suspected of having connived at the affair. Barley—Coast feed, 70@80. Corn—Large Yellow, 90@95c; Small Yellow, $1 Large White, 90c; Small White, 97½@$1; Pop, $2@3.

GAZETTE: —Please insert in your paper our kind thanks to the Pastors and members of the Congregational and Methodist churches for their kindness in so promptly carrying out the wishes of our little Mary. Also to the Pastor and members of our own church and all the citizens of this place for their kind assistance in the late bereavement of the one we loved so dearly. THOMAS EDWARDS and family. Westminster, Dec. 15, 1879. A special postal agent has been on this coast for some time, investigating whether or not it is against the interest of the Government to permit Wells, Fargo & Co. to carry letters. The agent has not yet made his report. The procession which welcomed General Grant to Philadelphia took six hours to pass the grand stand from which the General reviewed it. The Fresno Wool Growers' Association has appointed a committee to obtain signatures of sheep-owners to a petition to the Railroad Commissioners for a reduction of rates upon wool and stock. General Mahon succeeds Withers as Senator from Virginia. Although improving with the advance of thought, are as yet defective in this, that they are too purely intellectual, ignoring almost entirely the physical and moral culture so necessary to the fully developed man and woman. They proceed upon the idea that education consists in storing the mind from without by force if need be, with all the sciences and all the elements of knowledge, while per contra to educate is to develop and unfold the individual in his or her entirety in harmony with the laws of their being. To the immortal Frebel is due the honor of discovering the true principle of education which is illustrated in his kindergarten methods, and until the same principles are adopted in those schools and branches of education adapted to older pupils our methods must continue to be defective. THE TRUE EDUCATION Takes child from the incipiency of its being, and during its prenatal existence up to birth, thence onward up to manhood and womanhood, unfolding and developing from the germ of being in harmonious order and proportion. If the question be asked, how can this be done? I answer by a harmonious and happy marriage in the first place as a prerequisite to parentage; then by carefully caring for and educating the mother through whom the child in embryo is constantly receiving, not only the pabulum for its physical growth, but also those impressions that are to mold and form its character through its entire individualized life. Thus it is impossible for intellectual pure and noble parents harmoniously united in marriage (other things being equal) to beget children that shall become subjects of crime. But what shall be done with the offspring of a depraved and vitiated parentage? I answer, let the State, in behalf of those parents, in behalf of the child, and for the protection of society, take the little being at birth as its legitimate charge and educate it into harmony in accordance with PROKEL'S METHOD Until the age of independent manhood. This is laying the axe at the root of crime and only in this way can it be cured. If one fourth the money now expended for the support of pauperism and the suppression and punishment of crime were used in establishing and maintaining kindergartens throughout the country, and our common school system was modified so as to conform to the principles of the "new education," every succeeding generation would bear evidence of a radical change for the better. Again, until something higher than mere animal passion shall govern the selection of partners in marriage, until pure and exalted love shall be. THE BASIS OF MARRIAGE And it be a union of soul with soul, and GAZETTE. NO. 10 Until children shall be begotten in accordance with the true principles of physiological law, will crime go on unchecked, for no system of religion can cure it and no system of punishment can eradicate it. All penal and reformatory institutions are valueless only so far as they protect society against the acts of the criminal while he is in durance. In the future then, let us have pars exalted and harmonious love marriages; next let the greatest care in parentage be to propagate children of love and purity, and let them be educated from their germ incipiency in accordance with the unerring principles of physiological law, and thus only can crime be abolished and society molded in harmony with nature's laws and the laws of God. E. M. JOSLIN. Letter from Tuscon. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Since my arrival here my peregrinations have not been extended to the suburbs of Tucson; but as the city of 1½ miles of solid adobe buildings is surrounded by a barren, uncultivated region, one can catch a glimpse of the park sites, where the continuity of unbroken streets will permit it. Newcomers are sometimes puzzled as to the return route to their hotels, as regularity is merged in irregularity as soon as you leave the main street of the city. Tucson is situated in the center of the mining territory of Southern Arizona and has a population of some 7,000 inhabitants. There are now seven papers—the last one, the Pima County Recorder (owned by the present County Recorder), having issued but one number. There are two lines of stages running to Tombstone—fare each way. $4. The stage line from Casa Grande to Tucson gets $15 for passengers and 8 cents a pound for all baggage over 40 lbs.—distance 75 miles. The mining excitement is now at fever heat. Men are living here upon the hope of selling mines. They fill themselves with something temporarily as exhilarating as hope, about the time a day between naps—very salient for the coming Christmas ball as El Monte. Last week a fellow put up at Mr. Bennett's hotel at Savannah, had his horse fed, represented that he was from up the country, said he was tired from riding so far, and offered his horse, saddle and bridle for sale to two men at the hotel, so the young men bought the outfit. Next morning the party of the first part could not be found, and during the day news came to look out for a horse with the description answering to the cheap ($10) horse which the two young men had bought, and in a few days Mr. Campbell of Los Angeles came out, claimed the horse and took it back to town; so the two young men are sadder and wiser, being relieved of the horse, but $10 worth of experience is gained. They don't say much now about buying horses. The weather here continues rather dry, excepting the usual amount of fog. The whooping cough is spreading rapidly through this neighborhood. Mr. Obie Beardalee of the Duarte ranch and Miss Thurman of El Monte were married last Monday. A race track is being made at El Monte for the Christmas races. J. H. B. Westminster Items. We regret having to record the death of Miss Mary Edwards, whose sickness we announced in our last week's items. She passed away in a calm sleep on Friday, the 11th inst. She has been in failing health for some time past, and her death is sincerely regretted by the entire community, evidence of which was shown by the very large attendance following her to her last resting place. The funeral service took place on Sunday last in the Presbyterian church, which was handsomely draped for the occasion, all three churches uniting in the sad solemnities. The procession entered the church to the music of the Dead March in Saul. Appropriate hymns were sung by combined choirs. The service was conducted by E. Feld R.A.

We regret having to record the death of Miss Mary Edwards, whose sickness we announced in our last week's items. She passed away in a calm sleep on Friday, the 11th inst. She has been in failing health for some time past, and her death is sincerely regretted by the entire community, evidence of which was shown by the very large attendance following her to her last resting place. The funeral service took place on Sunday last in the Presbyterian church, which was handsomely draped for the occasion, all three churches uniting in the sad solemnities. The procession entered the church to the music of the Dead March in Saul. Appropriate hymns were sung by combined choirs. The service was conducted by the Revs. F. Field, B. A. Washburne and — Shellay, an eloquent sermon and her last worris being given by the Rev. Dr. Compton. The funeral car then left for the Santa Ana Cemetery followed by numerous friends, scarcely a family in Westminster being unrepresented, all of whom sympathize with the bereaved family.

Dr. Compton has removed into Mr. Parker's house on Main St. Rev. Washburne has rented the house vacated by the Dostor. Mr. D.

A wedding is on the tapis—full particulars next week. The Congregationalists have postponed their social until the week after Christmas. On Christmas eve there will be a beautiful tree in their church, and we presume that the friends of the Society will see that it is well filled. The services will be interesting and the public are cordially invited to attend. "On Christmas eve the exercises at the Presbyterian church will begin promptly at 7 o'clock. The programme among other items provides for songs, recitations and a short concert exercise, a brief address by the Pastor and the award of three prizes, followed by the distribution of gifts from the Christmas tree. All packages intended to go on the tree must be placed in the hands of the committee by 5 P.M., who will be at the church on Wednesday as early as 10 A.M. to receive and arrange them." This privi-lege is open to all who may wish to avail themselves of it and all are cordially invited to do so. A first rate time is anticipated. Come one, come all, and be sure to bring the children. Christmas is especially the children's festival." Garden Grove Items. The schools are closing hereabouts in anticipation of the approaching holidays. A Christmas tree is to be the attraction for old and young at the church, which, if it does not chance to be as heavily laden as usual by Santa Claus, who is reported to be suffering from the prevailing epidemic, hard times, will at least draw the people together for a social and friendly reunion. These gatherings are absolutely essential to break up the monotony of our daily lives. Miss Bella Cook, who stood with Miss Olive King preeminently high on the Roll of Garden Grove Items.

F. Washburne. Another prize in the same school was awarded to Mr. Walter Head. I am told that all in the class have made commendable improvement. A. G. Cook Esq. left us Tuesday morning, en route for San Francisco. He excorts on her way homeward Mrs. Dr. Walker, of Shasta county, who has been making a visit of some weeks with Mrs. Dacón Webster. The fine weather is improved by farmers, who are plowing a wider breadth than usual of land for wheat and barley.
