WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 26, 1881 SOLID WORK AT LAST. The Railroad Commissioners held a meeting in San Francisco on Friday of last week and adopted a schedule of rates for the transportation of first-class passengers. The rate on the Anaheim branch is four cents per mile, which would make the fare from Anaheim to Los Angeles $1.08 instead of $1.50 as now charged. This particular reduction will be of benefit to the railroad company as well as to the people. It is safe to say that fifty per cent of the travel between this part of the county and Los Angeles has been done by private conveyances or by livery teams, as the cost of the latter was no greater than by rail, while it was much more convenient, as it enabled one to return home at any hour. By the new schedule, first-class fare from Anaheim to San Francisco would be $19.33, instead of $24, as now charged. The highest rate per mile fixed by the Commissioners is 5 cents, and this applies only to the section between Los Angeles and Yuma, and the section between Post Costa and Vallejo Junction. The lowest rate per mile is 2 1-4 cents, and the sections affected by that rate are from Los Angeles to Wilmington, and from San Francisco to Donahue. The Commissioners have also made a rule that the rates for second-class passengers shall not exceed 60 per cent, and the rates for third-class passengers shall not exceed 60 per cent of the charges for first-class passengers over the same distances and on the same road. The rates, however, have not yet gone into effect. The various railroad corporations affected have fifteen days TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS. A FEW CHOICE BLUNDERS OF THE KIND. Some Information About Newspapers that may be Interesting—Curious Calculations—The Tribulations of a Country Journalist—Amusing and Ridiculous Blunders Seen in Newspapers. The newspaper reader, unfamiliar with the inner workings of a printing office, is apt to indulge in ungenerous criticism whenever his eye encounters a typographical blunder in his favorite newspaper. His uncharitable feelings are predicated upon the assumption that the blunder is the result of gross carelessness on the part of the conductor of the paper; whereas if he understood all the ins and outs of a newspaper printing office—particularly a country office—his only thought of the matter would be one of wonder that errors of the kind were not more common than they are. On the large metropolitan dailies there is, indeed, little excuse for the appearance in the paper of gross typographical blunders, because each paper has one or more proof-readers, a profession distinct in itself. It is the sole duty of these proof-readers to read the matter before it appears in the paper and make the necessary corrections on the margin of the proof-sheet. On some journals, the natural sharpness of the reader's eyes is further stimulated by the knowledge that a deduction will be made from his salary for every error appearing in the paper through his inadvertence. But in the country office the editor is his own proof-reADER; and in the GAZETTE office (which is by no means an exceptional-one) he is printer, pressman, collector, solicitor, mailing clerk and devil, as occasion requires; and in the multiplicity of duties devolving upon him it is no wonder that, try as he will, mistakes will occasionally happen. But we are justified in claiming that during the eight years in which we have conducted this paper there have been very, very few errors of moment observed in its columns. It is true that in the hurry of "making up" the forms on press-day, with a dozen things to do and only a few minutes to do them in, we have given Mrs. So and So credit for having presented her liege lord with a son, whereas it was only a daughter; or have once or twice noted a marriage under the head of next day that "his dissolute sympathies," etc. Readers of a religious paper to learn that another religion been guilty of making obscene some subject, but the matter plain to them when they subsist that,the remarks were "obscure obscene.

The "pendulum of our liberty swung into print occasionally tors who supposed "palladin new kind of a clock; and w a startling headline "Trumpet we for the first time knew that quotation was unfamiliar to printer.

Considering able nature of the report, there a very expressive one. A newspaper once published—into which the editor could typographical and grammatical given space than any other man profession with whom we are mentioned what it was please "purgery" case on trial in Court.

In the same paper appeared which terminated thus: "The quaintances of the deceased are invited," etc. See what the on letter "r" caused. Here is another from the source: "Mr. Wm. —— , spat agent of the Forepaugh Show, at city on the Monday morning tr vertising car arrived about six He remained in this vicinity until evening, when he left for San his ear." The substitution of "c" in the last word presented pleasant means of locomotion. Tom Hood's world-famous to Wilmington, and from San Francisco to Donaulue. The Commissioners have also made a rule that the rates for second-class passengers shall not exceed 60 per cent, and the rates for third-class passengers shall not exceed 60 per cent of the charges for first-class passengers over the same distances and on the same road. The rates, however, have not yet gone into effect. The various railroad corporations affected have fifteen days after the service upon them of a printed copy of the schedule in which answer and show cause why the rates, as established by the Commission, shall not go into full force twenty days after service upon the companies. The Commissioners are now considering the matter of freight rates. The little that has been accomplished towards the solution of the irrigation problem, by the passage of a bill abolishing riparian rights, has been undone by the Senate, which first considered the bill and then defeated it by a vote of 19 to 17. It is perfectly clear that Southern California will have to grope along in the old unsatisfactory way for two or three years more. At the next election the one aim of the people of this county should be to elect representatives who will pledge themselves to work untiringly for the success of an irrigation bill, previously agreed upon by a majority of the people of the county, to the exclusion of all other legislation. If the Debris men carry their point at this session, it will be by the use of just such tactics as we recommend. The representatives of this and other southern counties can, by combining and stubbornly refusing to assist in other legislation, secure the passage of an irrigation law early in the session. And by holding a caucus of the representatives of the southern counties before the assembling of the Legislature, any wrangling over the details of such a bill could be done in such caucus and they could go into the Legislature with a solid front and push the measure through. The Railroad Company allowed its taxes to become delinquent in Nevada, and a plucky Sheriff stopped the trains as they arrived at one of the multiplicity of duties devolving upon him it is no wonder that, try as he will, mistakes will occasionally happen. But we are justified in claiming that during the eight years in which we have conducted this paper there have been very, very few errors of moment observed in its columns. It is true that in the hurry of "making up" the forms on press day, with a dozen things to do and only a few minutes to do them in, we have given Mrs. So and So credit for having presented her liege lord with a son, whereas it was only a daughter; or have once or twice noted a marriage under the head of "Deaths," but these are not very heinous errors, and free and frank forgiveness has always been extended by the parties most directly interested. In country newspapers also there is a circumstance to contend against from which the city office is happily free. In cities, compositors are so numerous that the "cases" are always held by men who understand their business and who always send in "clean" proofs—that is, with very few typographical errors in the matter which they have put in type. In the country the reverse is often the case, and some of the proof-sheets which we have had the misfortune to tackle would have made a regular "reader" commit suicide on the spot. It is comparatively easy to ferret out half a dozen errors on a proof, but when there are fifty or sixty the eye is apt to overlook some. We have bad some "blacksmiths" at work at the case in the GAZETTE office in our time, and their proof-sheets, when we got through marking the errors, often resembled a sheet of paper on which a child had been allowed to scribble with a very soft lead pencil for a couple of hours. Fortunately for our peace of mind, we have now a printer whom we believe can set as clean a proof as any master of the "art preservative" in the State. We find, upon calculation, that in every column of the GAZETTE there are 6,000 pieces of metal, and as we give an average of fourteen columns of reading matter every week there are over 80,000 pieces of metal handled by the compositor every six days. In placing every type in the "stick," (which is made of steel) his hand travels on an average 25 inches, so that in setting up fourteen columns of matter the compositor's hand travels a distance of over 31 miles. In "distributing" the type, (placing each particular letter in its proper compartment in the case, after the paper has been printed), we suppose the compositor's hand travels fifteen or twenty miles more. If the reading matter in each issue of the GAZETTE was stretched out in single line, its length would be about 420 feet. The next time the reader finds a typographical error in this paper, let him remember these suggestive facts and ask himself whether it is any wonder that in handling 80,000 diminutive pieces of metal some of them do get into places where they have no business to be. For the past few months we have jotted down on a memorandum book some of the errors made by the twenty or more exchanges Emigration, which since 1881 one of the great features of many, is a revolutionary movement men who go are chiefly of the wealthy middle class. They they do not return. They and reef remain to strengthen and en public beyond the Atlantic, where tion is unknown, right of meeting ed, and Junkerdom abhorred. Of the Fatherland remains, but it ory only, not a living anxiety to help on its progress or to enhance perity. But this exodus has been middle class, and the million gone have but accentuated the dween to toiling many and the b aristocratic, and military few w them—have, too, left an almost gap between the wealthy landlordthe small owner or laborer, he hand-to-mouth workman and th class. The moderate Liberals, sive class of Germany, having away to seek their fortune am liberties, those who remain look ion rather than to steady progress their present condition.—Nineteen The refusal of the Railroad Company pay their taxes in Fresno county County School Fund about $4,000 The Railroad Company allowed its taxes to become delinquent in Nevada, and a plucky Sheriff stopped the trains as they arrived at one of the depots and would not allow them to proceed until the taxes were paid. This novel method of collecting taxes meets with warm approval, and many letters, commendatory of the Sheriff, appear in the papers. One correspondent of a San Diego paper makes a local application of the case, and asks with some asperity why the railroad company could not be compelled to pay their delinquent taxes in that county by pursuing the same vigorous policy. The answer is obvious, and would suggest itself to anybody but a San Diegan. It is manifestly impossible for the Sheriff of that county to corral the locomotives of the corporation, as the fact is pretty well established that the iron horse has not yet made its appearance within the confines of that county. Mr. Jarndyce, of Bleak House, had a Growlery to retire to when the wind was in the East, but our people have to grin and bear the hot blasts from that quarter. The East wind did not do half as much havoc to Mr. J's feelings as it does to the growing crops, and unless we are favored with rain within a few days the results of the hot wind of the past week will be very disastrous. For the past few months we have jotted down on a memorandum book some of the errors made by the twenty or more exchanges which it is part of our duty to read. Some of them are laughable and no doubt were the occasion of much merriment to everybody who read them, except the editors of the respective papers in which they appeared. We find for instance in an account of the explosion of a steam thresher in one of the northern counties that "three men were found lying by the side of the bride"—a very painful position for a bride to be in. The omission of the letter "g" transformed a bridge into a bride and made the sentence very ridiculous indeed. The tear of sympathy must have dimmed the proof-reader's eyes as he read the harrowing tale, for a few lines further on the types speak of the moral wounding of a certain individual. "Mortal" was the word intended to be used. This error is, indeed, a very common one, and we have many a time seen the phrase "immortal soul" rendered "immoral soul." We read a very pathetic account of the last illness of a young man and learn that just previous to his death the physicians found his reputation down to 42, which statement was clearly at variance with the eulogy pronounced upon the good man in the opening sentences of the paragraph. It was his respiration and not his reputation that was at so low an ebb. It was only a short time ago that we had occasion to refer to an "informal meeting of ladies," but it appeared in the proof that an "infernal" meeting was held. Alluding to the death of a man highly esteemed, the editor wrote feelingly of his desolate wife and had the pleasure of reading The refusal of the Railroad Company pay their taxes in Fresno county County School Fund about $4,000. A sherry house was recently St. Helena, Napa county, with gallons of wine. It will take three to cook. The sheepmen of San Luis Obispo complain bitterly of the ravage their flocks by coyotes. The municipality of Marseilles, of 33 to 1 annulled the decision site for the erection of a statue to the ground that he was an enemy ideal ideas. Put down in one corner of you for future use the fact that in February will have but twenty-eight although a leap year. This phenomenon curs only once in 200 years, and the odd hundred.

Kern County water rates are For irrigating agricultural lands, cubic foot per second for 24 h watering gardens, orchards, etc., mere and upwards, 3 cents per inch of 12 hours, or one-half rate for during the night. House lots small tracts, a head of 24 inches per hour, and a proportionate in any above that quantity. next day that "his dissolute wife had the sympathies," etc. Readers of a religious paper were pained to learn that another religious paper had been guilty of making obscene remarks upon some subject, but the matter was made plain to them when they subsequently read that the remarks were "obscure" instead of obscene. An error commonly seen in print is the substitution of "birth" for berth, and more than once we have read of somebody receiving "hospital treatment" when it was perfectly clear that the editor had written hospitable treatment." The "pendulum of our liberties" has been swung into print occasionally by composers who supposed "palladium" was some saw kind of a clock; and when we saw startling headline "Trumpet in a Teapot," he for the first time knew that the oft-used notation was unfamiliar to at least one printer. The accidental dropping of a letter in a headline in the Bulletin a couple of weeks ago resulted in a neat bit of sarcasm. The reading was prefixed to the report of the railroad Commissioners, and it read "Railroad Ommission." Considering the remarkable nature of the report, the headline was very expressive one. A newspaper once published in Santa Ana into which the editor could crowd moreographical and grammatical errors in a seven space than any other member of the profession with whom we are acquainted—mentioned what it was pleased to call a surgery" case on trial in the Justice's Court. As the defendant was held ever to appear before the Grand Jury, the rival paper made the point that the Judge's decision moved "binding" on the unfortunate enlistment. In the same paper appeared a death notice which terminated thus: "The fiends and acquaintances of the deceased are respectfully invited," etc. See what the omission of the latter "r" caused. Here is another from the same prolific source: "Mr. Wm. ——, special advance grant of the Forepaugh Show, arrived in this day on the Monday morning train. The advertising car arrived about six hours later. He remained in this vicinity until yesterday evening, when he left for San Francisco on his ear." The substitution of an "e" for a "r" in the last word presented a novel and pleasant means of locomotion. Tom Hood's world-famous "Song of the Washington, Feb. 21.—Turner introduced a bill to provide for three persons, one being a railroad expert and one a lawyer, and one interested in commercial pursuits, whose duty shall be to inquire whether any railroad or common carriers of the United States in their freight charges discriminate unjustly against communities or individuals, and if so, what railroads, and how; to inquire whether freight charges for inter-State commerce are oppressive and unjust, and to report to the next Congress the result of their inquiries, and recommendations to prevent said injustice. HARRISBURG, Feb. 23d.—The 35th ballot for United States Senator resulted in the formal election of John J. Mitchell. The vote was: Mitchell 150, Wallace 92, MacVeagh 1, Brewster 1. Mitchell has always been hostile to the Cameron machine. He is a great student, made no money in politics, has a clear record and is a stalwart. He is Saxon in appearance and will be the handsomest man in the new Senate. PARIS, February 22d.—The Agricultural Society adopted a resolution demanding the Ministry to commence negotiations with the United States for the revocation of the alleged decision of the United States for building the landing of French wines at American ports, on the pretext that they are injurious to health. The Society believes that the decision is simply a reprisal for interference by France of the importation of American bacon. NEW YORK, February 22.—The Christian Advocate of this week announces that George I. Seney, President of the Metropolitan Bank, has put at the disposal of the Methodist Episcopal church $240,000 in money and real estate, the money to be employed in the establishment and erection of a hospital, which must be open to Jew and Gentile, Protestant and Roman Catholic, heathen and infidel, on the same terms. LITTLE ROCK, February 22d.—The Senate, by a vote of 18 to 5, passed the joint resolution fixing the pronunciation of the name of this State as "Arkansaw." The Senate passed a resolution proposing a constitutional amendment prohibiting the Here is another from the same prolific source: "Mr. Wm. —, special advancement of the Forepaugh Show, arrived in this day on the Monday morning train. The advertising car arrived about six hours later. He remained in this vicinity until yesterday evening, when he left for San Francisco on his ear." The substitution of an "e" for a "n" in the last word presented a novel and pleasant means of locomotion. Tom Hood's world-famous "Song of the Skirt." The following verdict of a coroner's jury was published: "Deceased bore an accidental character, and the jury returned a verdict of excellent death." A "post" was made to read "pest;" a man was made from a "pen;" a "boy" was changed into a "bay." A newspaper correspondent, whose handwriting bore a striking resemblance to that credited to the Hon. Horace Greeley, had occasion in a communication to quote the note "The shades of night were falling fast." And was greatly chagrined to see it appear next morning "The spades at night were being past." These are only a few of the typographical errors which have come under our observation, but the length of this article compels us to stop short on this fertile subject for present. German Emigration. Emigration, which since 1848 has been one of the great features of modern Germany, is a revolutionary movement; for the man who go are chiefly of the moderately healthy middle class. They leave, but they do not return. They and their children remain to strengthen and enrich the Republic beyond the Atlantic, where conscription is unknown, right of meeting unfettered and Junkerdom abhorred. The memory of the Fatherland remains, but it is a memorial, not a living anxiety to return to up on its progress or to enhance its prosperity. But this exodus has been chiefly of the middle class, and the millions who have have but accentuated the difference between the toiling many and the bureaucratic, and military few who oppress them—have, too, left an almost impassable tie between the wealthy landlord lord and the small owner or laborer, between the land-to-mouth workman and the capitalist. The moderate Liberals, the progressive class of Germany, having been driven away to seek their fortune amid American parties, those who remain look to revolutrather than to steady progress to remedy their present condition.—Nineteenth Century. The refusal of the Railroad Company to their taxes in Fresno county makes the County School Fund about $4,000 short. Little Rock, February 22d. — The Senate, by a vote of 18 to 5, passed the joint resolution fixing the pronunciation of the name of this State as "Arkansaw." The Senate passed a resolution proposing a constitutional amendment prohibiting the sale of liquor in the State. The vote was 66 to 17. Topeka, Kansas, February 22d. — The Senate has refused to pass the resolution for female suffrage. The Supreme Court sustained the legality of the prohibition amendment to-day. Richmond, Va., February 22d. — The 22d was celebrated to-day for the first time since 1861, by a meeting, parade and a partial suspension of business. —The railroad officials in San Francisco are at present engaged in preparing a new time-table for use after the connection is made with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. It will probably go into effect about the 19th proximo. Among other changes, it is rumored that the overland train from San Francisco will arrive here about 7 o'clock A.M., immediately after which an express train will depart from here for Arizona and the East.—Commercial. Raisin Wine. The conservative minds of old fashioned French wine merchants are just now greatly agitated with regard to the subject of making wine from dried grapes. These merchants affirm that the great entrepots at Paris were constructed for the purpose of holding wine, and not a liquid made by pouring water upon Turkish raisins and then fermenting the remarkable product. This "new departure" is not, they assert, wine at all, and its existence is a fraud upon the legitimate trade. They have consequently been petitioning the Municipal Council of Paris to repress this new and not particularly creditable industry. But the Council after listening to the pros and cons of the case as put before them, have decided that the new kind of wine is lawful, because in the first place it is made from grapes, and is produced by processes similar to those used in making the ordinary wine, namely, pressing, fermenting, racking, etc. The new description of wine contains alcohol, and yields its fair proportion to the direct taxation of the country and to the octroi of the different towns whitner it may be conveyed. It is further asserted that this wine from dried raisins is not injurious to health, and that when blended in certain proportion with ordinary wine its presence cannot be detected. It is moreover, comparatively cheap; and thus it affords for the lower class a useful drink; therefore the Municipal Council of Paris considers that its production should be encouraged rather than repressed at a time when the natural wine products of France INTERNATIONAL BREWERY, T.

House lots and other tracts, a head of 24 inches at 25 cents hour, and a proportionate increase for above that quantity. A CORRESPONDENT, whom we love like a brother, asks if we are not a bit abashed at our strictures on the Railroad Commissioners. Not at all. It is one thing to fix rates and quite another thing to enforce them. But even if the rates fixed by the Commissioners do go into effect, the masterly inactivity which has been their characteristic heretofore, and the puerile report to the Governor, gave good grounds for the most severe animadversions.
