FISH CARRIAGE TRIMMING AND PAINTING. McDERMott's BUILDING, Anaheim, Cal. The Supreme Court has decided that the Act passed by the last Legislature granting to the laboring bakers a few hours rest on Sunday is unconstitutional, on the ground that it is special legislation, as construed by the new Constitution. Napoleon B. Arthur deserted his wife and family at Marysville, Ohio, twenty years ago, to elope with a neighbor's daughter. His wife remained on the farm, and reared their children, while he wandered about the country. A poor, broken old tramp presented himself recently at the homestead. This was the wreck of the husband and father. He begged for food and lodging, expressing the utmost contrition for his bad behavior. Did his wife receive him with open arms? Did she kill the fatted calt, and clothe him in fine raiment? Not much! She set the dog on him, and he barely escaped with his life. A New York banker, who returned last week from a visit to New Mexico, describes a visit to the village of Real del Dolores, which, he says, approached nearer to the city whose streets are paved with gold than any spot in this country. He saw some men tearing down one of the adobe houses, and, by request, they washed out one of the bricks of clay and straw. The result was $5 in gold. That's nothing. A Santa Ana assayer once announced as the result of an assay of some old brick that a ton of them would yield $1500. Agricultural and Horticultural Items. The question whether the sowing of poor, shrunken seed exercises any harmful effect on the resultant crop is periodically discussed; and the most noticeable feature of the discussion is that all the theoretical farmers maintain that any quality of grain is good enough for seeding purposes, and all the practical farmers are as firm in the conviction that a full crop can be depended on only when the plumpest and best seed is used. This appears to us to be the common sense view of the matter. A very mature mind had that boy of immature years who asked his father if he (the father aforesaid) used to lie when he was a boy. He was answered in the negative. "Did mother lie?" persisted the urchin. "No," said the father. "Then I don't see," said the boy, "how two people who never told a lie could have a boy that tells as many as I do." Truly good parents seldom beget bad boys; and just as seldom do the offspring of vicious, diseased parents grow up into upright and healthy men and women. The same rule would seem to apply to the products of mother-earth. Notwithstanding the vast amount of nutrition which is concealed in the soil it cannot be expected to receive poor seed and transform it into healthy and abundant crops. This matter is of more than ordinary interest just now, because in some parts of the country a great deal of shrunken wheat, the result of untimely, scorching winds, was produced. We think it would be true economy to sell this wheat at any price, and sow only that which is perfect. The risk of having a political points. Hon. Wallace Leach and Hon. R. F. Del Valle will speak in Anaheim on Monday night, as will be seen by the advertisement in another column. The most prominent candidates for the Democratic nomination for Supervisor in this district are W. W. Switzer, C. S. Levy, Col. Sanford and W. F. Cooper, all of the Los Nietos region. But there are three or four dark horses in the background. It having been charged that ex-Governor Downey had announced his intention of holding his support from Wallace Leach, the home organ of that gentleman publishes a telegram from Downey pledging Leach his "sincere and active support." Jesse H. Butler, poet, watchmaker, politician and Greenback-Labor nominee for County Auditor, has notified the campaign committee of that party that he declines to run for Auditor. He gives as his reason that the pledge of the Convention to nominate a straight ticket has been broken. This leaves the party with no candidate for District Attorney and Auditor. The Riverside Press (Republican) does not take kindly to its party's nominee for Congress. It says: "The Republicans of the Fourth District are humiliated again by being called upon to support Mr. Pacheco, of San Francisco, for Congress. The delegates from San Bernardino voted against Pacheco in Convention, fairly representing more than nine-tenths of the Republicans of the county who were opposed to his nomination." A New York banker, who returned last week from a visit to New Mexico, describes a visit to the village of Real del Dolores, which, he says, approached nearer to the city whose streets are paved with gold than any spot in this country. He saw some men tearing down one of the adobe houses, and, by request, they washed out one of the bricks of clay and straw. The result was $5 in gold. That's nothing. A Santa Ana assayer once announced as the result of an assay of some old brick that a ton of them would yield $1500. The Bulletin says that the Directors of the State Prison have for some months been in correspondence with an Englishman in regard to the purchase of machinery for the manufacture at the prison of jute burlaps, or grain bags. To facilitate the business an agent of the house was sent over to confer personally with the Directors in the matter. The result is that on Saturday a bargain was consummated, whereby the firm agreed to furnish a hundred looms, with all the accompanying machinery necessary for the manufacture, at a cost, delivered here, of about $100,000. The expectation is that they will be in full operation by the first of next April. The introduction of this new industry into the prison will give employment to a considerable number of convicts, and will prove, no doubt, a great benefit to the farmers of the State, by insuring a supply of bags for their grain at a reasonable price. Moody and Sankey have been invited to visit San Francisco by the Ministerial Union. In urging that an invitation be sent to the revivalists, Rev. Dr. Platt said that he was discouraged with the prospect in this State. People will not go to church. Money-getting is the only aim in life, and those who get money studiously avoid churches, and those who have none or who have lost their all, likewise shun churches, and wander about the city from place to place with despair in their hearts. He did not see how the churches were to be filled up except with importations from the East. Here atheism, materialism and rationalism seem to pervade the minds of the people. Even from the common schools religion has been banished. He understood that the word or mention of God had been stricken from all text-books, and that there were no religious exercises. It might be that Moody was the very man and this the very time to produce a spiritual awakening in San Francisco. The attention of Assistant State Engineer Schuyler having been called to the editorial of the Gazette in its issue of August 14th by Geo. C. Knox, in which it was suggested that an examination of the Santa Ana river at Bed-rock canyon be made for the purpose of obtaining an estimate of the cost of a sunken dam at that point, it has been determined by him to perform the work. Under his direct and personal supervision a cross-section of the river at or immediately above the present head of the Cajon ditch The outgivings of local papers (the Gazette always excepted) are to be taken with many grains of allowance in cases where the locality in which the paper is published would be injured by a truthful presentation of facts. So, when the Sonoma Democrat pooch poohs at the phylloxera "bugaboo," as it calls it, the reader must admire its loyalty to its locality, even if he condemns its indiscretion in treating such a serious matter so lightly. The French viniculturists are indisputably far in advance of their American brethren in the science of grape culture, but not all their skill and research has served to stay the inroads of the phylloxera, or prevent it from laying waste enormous districts in the very heart of vine-growing France. We question the policy, therefore, of lulling the fears of vine-growers in California by publishing such a paragraph as the following, which we clip from the Democrat: The phylloxera bugaboo does not startle the viniculturists of Sonoma valley to any great extent, and we believe the opinions freely expressed by them to be of more value than that of those who say so much about the destructive qualities of the pestiferous insect. "The death of the vine is caused more by impoverished soil, bad drainage and improvident husbandry than from any other cause." The ravages of the "phylloxera bug" are fearfully overrated, and a liberal supply of fertilizers, combined with intelligent and painstaking care of the soil overcome and entirely do away with the alleged ravages of this post. John Clay Jr., British Commissioner of Agriculture, is visiting this State. His business here is to gather information regarding do up offspring of vicious diseases parents grow up into upright and healthy men and women. The same rule would seem to apply to the products of mother earth. Notwithstanding the vast amount of nutrition which is concealed in the soil it cannot be expected to receive poor seed and transform it into healthy and abundant crops. This matter is of more than ordinary interest just now, because in some parts of the country a great deal of shrunken wheat, the result of untimely, scorching winds, was produced. We think it would be true economy to sell this wheat at any price, and sow only that which is perfect. The risk of having a poor, shriveled crop follows the planting of poor seed, and few farmers are in a condition to run any such risk. Those farmers in other counties who intend to sow Odessa wheat the coming season should by all means purchase their seed in Anaheim. Not only will they get good, plump seed, but what is equally important, they will get a guarantee that the wheat furnished them is the Odessa variety. It is thought, with some show of reason, that a great deal of wheat has been sold as Odessa which was really some other kind, hence partial failures of the crop in some localities. The fact that the Odessa is in such high favor with Anaheim farmers ought to be sufficient guarantee that, with proper treatment, it has merits which have been found in no other variety. The outgivings of local papers (the Gazette always excepted) are to be taken with many grains of allowance in cases where the locality in which the paper is published would be injured by a truthful presentation of facts. So, when the Sonoma Democrat pooch poohs at the phylloxera "bugaboo," as it calls it, the reader must admire its loyalty to its locality, even if he condemns its indiscretion in treating such a serious matter so lightly. The French viniculturists are indisputably far in advance of their American brethren in the science of grape culture, but not all their skill and research has served to stay the inroads of the phylloxera, or prevent it from laying waste enormous districts in the very heart of vine-growing France.

The Riverside Press (Republican) does not take kindly to its party's nominee for Congress. It says: "The Republicans of the Fourth District are humiliated again by being cailed upon to support Mr. Pacheco. Of San Francisco, for Congress. The delegates from San Bernardino voted against Pacheco in Convention, fairly representing more than nine-tenths of the Republicans of the county who were opposed to his nomination." The Democrats of the Second Congressional District have nominated J. R. Glasscock of Alameda for Congress. English, the Democratic candidate for Vice-President, has contributed $100,000 for campaign purposes. This is said to be the largest contribution ever made by any candidate, if we except Tilden's bar'l. It takes money to carry a candidate through a Congressional canvass, especially in such a big district as this is. Leach, having been there, knows how it is himself, and preparatory to girding up his loins for the struggle he has asked the San Diego authorities to give him $10,000 in payment for his services as an attorney in some of their railroad cases. Mr. Ben. W. Edelman, of Wilmington, Democratic nominee for Supervisor for the Fifth District, has been obliged to decline the honor of running owing to inelegibility. He has not lived in the district the requisite time—one year. Important to Distillers of Grape Brandy. "Additional regulations and instructions relative to the tax on distilled spirits under The Revised Statutes of the United States, as amended by an Act of May 28, 1880, have been recently received at the Internal Revenue office, which show an important change of financial interest to distillers. Under the new law the distiller can place the spirits in the distillery and special bonded warehouses and allow them to remain for three years, and will not be required to pay the tax on the same until the end of the term of deposit. It must, however, be withdrawn at end of the three years and tax paid in full, otherwise it is forfeited to the Government. Interest on the tax on the spirits of five per cent per annum from and after the expiration of one year from date of original warehouse bond; hereof required, has been discontinued. The new law also provides that: "When overseeing owner or any distilled spirits shall desire to withdraw from the distillery warehouse or from a special bonded warehouse, he may file with the Collector a notice giving a description of the packages to be withdrawn, and request that the distilled spirits be regained;" and further—"if upon such regaining it shall appear that there has been a loss of distilled spirits from any cask or package without the fault or negligence of the distiller or owner thereof; taxes shall be collected only on the quantities of distilled spirits contained in such cask or package at time of withdrawal thereof from the distillery warehouse or special bonded warehouse; provided, however, that the allowance which shall be made for such loss of spirits as affords shall not exceed two months or part."

Arrow The attention of Assistant State Engineer Schuyler having been called to the editorial of the Gazette in its issue of August 14th by Geo. C. Knox, in which it was suggested that an examination of the Santa Ana river at Bed-rock canyon be made for the purpose of obtaining an estimate of the cost of a sunken dam at that point, it has been determined by him to perform the work. Under his direct and personal supervision a cross-section of the river at or immediately above the present head of the Cajon ditch will be thoroughly investigated; a profile of the surface of the cross-section will be taken, and borings at short intervals along its line will be made to ascertain the point of greatest depression of the water-upholding substratum, the depth of this substratum, etc., etc., and all other information will be obtained necessary to a complete and accurate estimate of the cost of construction of a sunken dam. The examination will be made some time during the months of October or November, and its result will be incorporated in the next report of the Department to the Legislature. Whilst the field-party is in this vicinity, the topographical features of the section will also be carefully observed, with special reference to the location of large reservoirs for the storage of the winter flow of water. County School Superintendent Hinton has received his official report of the apportionment of the State school fund. The five counties most populous in school children are San Francisco, Alameda, Los Angeles, Santa Clara and Sacramento. San Francisco reports 58,492 children and $77,209.44; Alameda 15,552 children and $20,628.64; Los Angeles 10,002 children and $12,994.63; Santa Clara 9,521 children and $12,567.72; Sacramento 9,474 children and $9,865.68. The amount of school fund per capita is $1.32. The total number of school children in California is 215,978; total of school fund appropriated $285,090.96. San Francisco, August 25th—Governor Parkins, having heard the arguments in the Sprague case, has commuted his sentence to imprisonment for life. A San Buenaventura dispatch says that Sprague exhibits no gratitude for the commutation, but seems disappointed and angry that he has not fared still better at the hands of the Executive. John Clay Jr., British Commissioner of Agriculture, is visiting this State. His business here is to gather information regarding the mode of farming, and the yield of the crops, and his opinions and observations will probably be embodied in a blue book to the British Parliament next winter. There are only four hundred and forty bearing orange trees in Sacramento county, according to the report of the Assessor. Thought there were as many thousand, from the fuss made about the orange crop by the Sacramento papers. Mr. J. F. Crank, who has been investigating the subject pretty thoroughly, says that the Mission grapes in the vicinity of this city are suffering severely from mildew, as the result of the cool-weather and foggy nights which have prevailed this summer. The Muscats are blasting on the vines, and Mr. Crank thinks that but a very small quantity of this variety will be raised. In the dryer and warmer localities farther interior the blight and mildew are not so manifest.—Los Angeles Express. Thermometrical Record.

A. Armstrong, of Santa Monica, under bail to appear to answer a charge of sending indecent circulations through the mail, has jumped his bail and left for parts unknown. Withdrawal from the distillery warehouse or from a special bonded warehouse, he may file with the Collector a notice giving description of the packages to be withdrawn, and request that the distilled spirits be regained; **** and further—"if upon such regurgitation it shall appear that there has been a loss of distilled spirits from any cask or package, without the fault or negligence of the distiller or owner thereof, taxes shall be collected only on the quantities of distilled spirits contained in such cask or package at the time of the withdrawal thereof from the distillery warehouse or special bonded warehouse; provided, however, that the allowance which shall be made for such loss of spirits as aforesaid shall not exceed one proof gallon for two months or part thereof, one and one-half gallons for three and four months, two gallons for five and six months, and so on up to thirty-six months, for which the allowance is seven and one-half gallons. The above allowance is for casks or packages of forty or more wine gallons. The allowance on casks and packages of less than forty gallons is one-half the rate allowed on those of forty gallons, and no allowance will be made on casks or packages of less than twenty gallons. The maximum allowance on a cask or package of forty or more wine gallons is stated in tabular form in the "regulations and instructions" as follows: For 2 months or part thereof, proof gallon.1 For more than 2 and less than 4 mos...1½ For more than 4 and less than 6 mos...2 For more than 6 and less than 8 mos...2½ For more than 8 and less than 10 mos...3 For more than 10 and less than 12 mos...3½ For more than 12 and less than 15 mos...4 For more than 15 and less than 18 mos...4½ For more than 18 and less than 21 mos...5 For more than 21 and less than 24 mos...5½ For more than 24 and less than 27 mos...6 For more than 27 and less than 30 mos...6½ For more than 30 and less than 33 mos...7 For more than 33 and less than 36 mos...7½ This allowance for leakage or wastage, or wantage, is of great importance to the distiller. There is always more or less loss in the packages from evaporation or otherwise, and heretofore the distiller has had to bear such loss, the law requiring him to pay the tax on the original entry of deposit. The maximum allowance on a package of forty wine gallons—7¼ proof gallons—would be a saving to the distiller of $7, so that where the distiller has several hundred packages on deposit, the saving to him is something considerable. The most direct benefit will derive to the distillers of grape brandy, which is exclusively stored in the special bonded warehouse, as they allow it to remain on deposit for the fall 36 months, receiving the advantage of the maximum allowance for leakage and wastage loss, while at the same time the brandy has received the important gain of age. GAZETTE. NO. 46 Correspondence Trip to the Arrowhead. On the 20th inst., your correspondent and one of Westminster's influential citizens started on a trip to the Arrowhead, via Orange, Arlington and Riverside. These two last-named places are, as you might say, connected by one large drive or avenue. Three and a-half miles which extends through Arlington is divided into two drives, with tall eucalyptus trees on each side and pepper trees in the center. These two communities are in excellent spirits over their future prospects. They have had a ready sale for their apricots at 2½ cents per pound, peaches at 1 cent per pound, and 1 cent per pound for tomatoes at the cannery. Their oranges sell readily for from $45 to $60 per thousand in San Francisco. Land sells from $100 to $750 per acre; one exchange being made of 20 acres "last week," consideration six thousand dollars ($6,000). Mr. J. B. Crawford informed me this week that he would not take one thousand dollars ($1,000) per acre for his property of 52½ acres situated in Arlington. This year from five acres of apricot trees, planted 25x30 feet, four years old from the bud, said Mr. Crawford netted $1,000. We wound our way around, passing through Colton and San Bernardino. Before we arrived at the place last mentioned, far in the distant mountains could be seen the figure of AN INDIAN ARROWHEAD, Living point downward on the steep side of the mountain. This is an old natural bed of "white sage" and "lupine" four or five hundred feet in breadth and about one thousand in length. This, "by the way," was the point we were looking for. Finally, after a three or four hour's drive, we reached our destination—"Smithville." Here, upon the The Coming Circum. W. W. Cole's great New York and New Orleans Cinema, Menagerie and Congress of Living Wonders will soon make its appearance on the Pacific slope, bringing with it more astounding attractions than any four-tent exhibition that ever visited this part of the world. In 1873 this famous show came to California, proudly bearing the title of the largest snow in America at that time. It was the first combined circus and managerie to visit the State, and as a reward for the immense outlay incurred the management was gratified with handsome returns. The then mammoth enterprise was transported on eighteen of the Central Pacific Railroad Company's cars. It now comes to us enlarged to more than three times its former size, and, as then, the largest exhibition of the kind in the world. Instead of eighteen ordinary cars, it uses thirty-six of its own ponderously-built steel structures, which are more than equal to forty-seven C. P. R. R. cars. After seven years' absence, during which time it has made triumphal tours throughout the United States and the British provinces—it returns to the Golden State replets in all its appointments and beyond all reasonable doubt the greatest amusement enterprise on earth. It uses the recently perfected electric light to illuminate its millions of yards of canvas, and every recent improvement that might add to the general interest of the concern has been made available. A $50,000 troupe of trick stallions is one of the novelties. These veritable animal actors have been trained to a degree of excellence which dwarfs to insignificance all previous displays of equine education. A performing Spanish bull is also introduced in the arena and executes a number of feats that are truly remarkable. Not less than one hundred famous artists vie with each other for public honors, and none but bareback equestrians are employed. One of the most thrilling sensations is a troupe of aerial bicycle riders, who hazard life and limb upon a single cobweb wire stretched from end to end.

One of the most thrilling sensations is a troupe of aerial bicycle riders, who hazard life and limb upon a single cobweb wire stretched from end to end of the vast canvas, and this they traverse with a bicycle while they perform a number of incredible and daring feats. Among the many artists engaged is Mr. Frank A. Gardner, the world's undisputed champion leaper and bounding jockey, who by his superhuman strength and agility accomplishes the most terrific leaps ever undertaken by man. In the menagerie will be seen the largest and best collection of rare animals ever owned or transported by any organization. The entire show will visit all the principal towns and cities in the State during the season, and wherever it appears we opine that it will produce a lasting impression by its extreme immensity. Congressional Representatives under the new Census. New York, August 23d.-The World's Washington special, speaking of Congressional Representatives under the new census, gives the following as the probable result: The effect would be, with reference to New York, as reported by the Enumerators, to lessen the number of Representatives from 35 to 33; Pennsylvania would drop from 27 to 26; Ohio would lose one, making her representation 19; Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont each one, and Indiana, Alabama and Tennessee each one; total loss of ten Minnesota and Nebraska would each gain 2; Kansas, 3; Texas, 4; and Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia and California each one—a total gain of 17. Other States would neither gain nor lose. Placing the gains in Minnesota, Nebraska, Michigan and California, in all 9, against the losses of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Indiana, in all 8; it would leave for the North and West a net gain of 1. Placing the gains of Texas, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia, in all 8, against the losses of Alabama and Tennessee, each one, it would leave the South a net gain of 6, and give the House 300 members. Carrying this comparison to cover the present political status of the States named, and omitting New York and Indiana as doubtful, the States ordinarily classed as Republican would have a net gain of four, and those classed as Democratic a net gain of six. This might not mean an increase in the Democratic majority, for so far from that, that majority might be wiped out in spite of the showing; but it would mean simply, that the States now considered Democratic would gain two more members than those now considered Republican.

SOZODONT contains no acids or gritty substances which injure the enamel, but is composed of rare and antiseptic herbs, which have a benzene-like appearance. Items from San Jose. San Jose, August 19, 1880. The Normal School opened on the 10th instant with a large number of applicants for admission. The school has now nearly three hundred in the Normal department. The preparatory and training schools are full. The faculty, composed of noble-minded men and women who are thorough educators, enter upon their arduous duties with a soulfulness that never fails to inspire those who are fortunate enough to have entered their charge. The Normal — Ah! it seems to have strengthened its purpose, to have taken a more exalted aim, if possible, "not for time but for eternity," and, "purified by fire," to be calmly attaining its endeavors. The new building is rapidly under headway—of course there are occasional delays, but as a whole the work progresses well. The foundation is finished, the same old corner-stone (weighing two tons) that served so unflinchingly through much and woe and was found to have preserved its contents intact, was given additional appropriate objects in charge—catalogues of past years of the school, medals, histories and many other things—and replaced to perform its duty, let us hope for ages. Foggy mornings, warm through the day, (last Sunday 94' in the shade at 2 p.m.) represents weather. The crops appear to have met expectations—in some cases exceeded—and, since "everybody" and his relations have returned from the maddening excitement of hill-top or ocean depth, the city seems populated once more. The trees that Old Winter frowned upon so severely have recovered their emerald loveliness to a degree that was not hoped for, and, with her flower yards, the Garden City sustains her fair reputation. However, the fruit-thirsty scale bug revels in high glee, nearly frantic with delight at the thought that through his depredations San Jose will lose her most delicious fruits. Yet, the scientific are determined upon his bugship's annihilation. Arronia. The most popular and fragrant perfume of the day "HACKMETACK," try it. Sold by Wm. M.
