WEEKLY EIM GA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1881. CITY DRUG STORE! Ferguson & Lake, Prop's. Centre Street (Opposite Planters' Hotel), ANAHEIM. A choice variety of perfumery, toilet articles, etc., pure and fresh Drugs, patent medicines, etc. Physicians' prescriptions carefully compounded at all hours. IMPORTANT! THE UNDERSIGNED IS PREPARED TO FURNISH TO FARMERS ALL KINDS OF FARMING MACHINERY, Or any part of them at lowest rates. A full line of Hardware, Groceries, PAINTS AND OILS HORTICULTURE ON BUSINESS PRINCIPLES. This is an age of money-making, and farmers have their opportunities as well as those who thrive as middlemen or as monopolists. Business principles are being more and more applied to farming methods the world over. Sometimes men, seeing the abuses practised by certain monopolies, denounce corporations as a class. But there is a lesson which the agricultural people of our State can learn from the methods employed even by corporative associations. There is meaning, and wise suggestions to horticulturists, in the positive tendency of modern life to make specialists. Instead of feeling doubtful about the future, each town and village, each valley, colony, and county of our great State, may find some separate and profitable product for which to become famous. Modern commercial developments have enormously increased the market facilities. The smallest, most trivial product known to men, or used in the arts and sciences, or as an ingredient of food, though but a slight flavor or condiment, has risen into the dignity of a staple. Annato, chiccory, buhach, and thousands of other products of the soil, a century ago hardly known out of some limited district, now are used in all communities, and give support to thousands of persons. It cannot be denied that among the many unutilized products of nature there are possibly other thousands of future staples; other merchantable articles for which, some of these days, this and that community will become noted. Quantity as well as quality is needed to command the attention of trade centres. A dozen boxes of California preserved citrons would not be worth sending to New York or London, but a thousand would. We must ship those products for which we have peculiar advantages, by the carload or shipload, and having made the best quality, we must make our trade in these things worth something. The time may come when merchants from Europe will bid against each other in Pasadena, River-side and Los Angeles, for the citrus crops of those settlements; and in Napa, Sonoma and Los Angeles, for the wine and brandy crops; and in Alameda and Santa Clara for the deciduous fruits; and along the Sierra foothills for the peculiar products of that well watered district.—S. F. Bulletin. THE FRENCH ARMY.—Under the Empire a man might escape military duty by furnishing a substitute, or by the payment of a certain sum annually fixed by decree of the Minister of War; but by the law of July 27, 1872, it is declared that every Frenchman owes personal military service, the right of substitution being abolished. He is liable to such service from the age of twenty to that of forty, and forms part of the active army for five years, of the reserve of such army for four years, of the territorial army for five years, and of the reserve thereof for six years, making twenty years in all. Any Frenchman, moreover, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four, who has not been already conscripted, who is of sufficient height, able-bodied, unmarried, or a widower without children, provides MACHINERY, Hardware, Groceries, PAINTS AND OILS CROCKERY & LAMPS Always on hand.

STOUGH DESIRES TO INFORM THE public that he has removed his blacksmith shop to the shop on Lemon Street formerly occupied by H. J. McDermott, and respectfully solicits the continued patronage of his many customers. One part of the shop is occupied by Mr. T. L. GAN-NON, Wagonmaker, who is prepared to do all kinds of woodwork in a thorough manner and at cheap rates. Messrs. Stough and Gannon are jointly agents for men, or used in the arts and sciences, or as an ingredient of food, though but a slight flavor or condiment, has risen into the dignity of a staple. Annato, chicory, buhach, and thousands of other products of the soil, a century ago hardly known out of some limited district, now are used in all communities, and give support to thousands of persons. It cannot be denied that among the many unutilized products of nature there are possibly other thousands of future staples; other merchantable articles for which, some of these days, this and that community will become noted. Now, be it observed, each product of interest and value grown from the soil is measured by the standard of the place where it is best produced. We speak of Smyrna figs, of Malaga raisins, of Zante currants and of Lisbon lemons. Maracaibo cocoa sells at 32 cents a pound, when other brands bring but 22 cents. The best liquorice root sells at more than twice the ordinary roots. Ipecacuanha, arrowroot, armenia, flowers, chamomile, and dozens of other products known to the trade, exhibit the same feature; Turkey tragacanth is the best. The French essential oils (such as this State could easily produce), bring the highest prices. In the line of herb seeds, the Dutch grow the best caraway, the English the best corianda, the Germans the best fennel, and the Italians the best anise. Bengal indigo holds the top of the market. Jordan almonds, Leghorn citrons, Grenoble walnuts, and Valencia oranges keep honorable places in the prices current. This last might be much further extended, but sufficient has been said to call the reader's attention to the fact that a commercial and world-wide reputation for any given product is really the most valuable thing that any community can obtain. It pays in cash returns. It makes whole neighborhoods thriving and contented. The problem, then, which nature has set before each district and county of our Pacific Coast region, is to ascertain by careful experiment, the product or products best adapted to each locality, and to then, through unity of action and by skill, patience and skillful labor, make the said products of world-wide fame. We would not advocate the neglect of diversified interests, for each farmer in a community should grow a few vegetables, some hay, fruit, grain and such matters. But if a prosperous settlement be desired, let each and all test and prepare for market a few acres of some chosen product, giving it a community brand, inspecting it thoroughly, advertising it well, and make it equal to or better than the best of foreign make. This plan, and this mainly, can bring rapid returns to the many isolated settlements of California. This plan, well and patiently developed, could not but advance the interests and promote the welfare of the whole Pacific Coast. There for instance is liquorice, an important product, always profitable if properly put on the market. There are fifty places in the Southern California counties where liquorice would thrive. It has indeed been grown success- minister of War; out by the law of July 27, 1872, it is declared that every Frenchman owes personal military service, the right of substitution being abolished. He is liable to such service from the age of twenty to that of forty, and forms part of the active army for five years, of the reserve of such army for four years, of the territorial army for five years, and of the reserve thereof for six years, making twenty years in all. Any Frenchman, moreover, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four, who had not been already conscripted, who is of sufficient height, able-bodied, unmarried, or widower without children; and provided with a certificate of good conduct, may volunteer for five years' service in the army or navy. A soldier may also re-enlist upon completion of his five years of active service for a further term of two, three, four, five years, during which period he is entitled to extra pay at the extravagant rate of eight centimes, or, if he be a non-commissioned officer, of ten centimes (two cents) a day! As a further inducement to remain in active service, it is provided by the law on July 24, 1873, that certain civil and military employments are reserved exclusively for those who have been in the active army for twelve years, and during four of these years with the grade of non-commissioned officer. The total effective force of the army in time of peace is 450,000, and in time of war 2,000,000. We may add, in passing, that by this terms of a law passed August 1, 1874, horse and mules are duly enrolled, and are liable to conscription for military purposes. GEORGE MERRILL, in Harper's Magazine for March. An English officer exchanged into another regiment carried with him the reputation being marvelously successful at a bet: "Ah," said his new colonel; "he wont get anything out of me. I'll warrant," and he wrote to the fellow's former colonel, an old friend: "We like him very much." "Glue you do, old boy; keep him; we found him too expensive a luxury," was the reply. One day at mess the colonel good-humoredly said: "I hear that you profess to always win a bet?" "Well, sir I'm pretty successful that way." "I don't think you would succeed with me." "May I try?" asked the subaltern. "By all means." "We then, I bet you, sir; that that old wound your back has broken out afresh." "When in the world do you mean? Old wound my back? D'you think I ever turned back on the enemy; then?" and the gallant colonel grew warm. "I never had a wound in my back in my life. Jones," to a cornea: "lock the door. I'll prove it to your eyes." The other protested that the simple word of the colonel was more than enough. But no, the latter was excited, and stripped "I've lost sir," and Brown handed over over £10 note. A few days later came a news from the colonel of the other regiment: "Brown has again won a pot of money from me." BLACKSMITHING AND WAGONMAKING! Removal. MR. H. A. STOUGH DESIRES TO INFORM THE public that he has removed his blacksmith shop to the shop on Lemon Street formerly occupied by H. J. McDermott, and respectfully solicits the continued patronage of his many customers. One part of the shop is occupied by Mr. T. L.

This plan, and this mainly, can bring rapid returns to the many isolated settlements of California. This plan, well and patiently developed, could not but advance the interests and promote the welfare of the whole Pacific Coast. There for instance is liquorice, an important product, always profitable if properly put on the market. There are fifty places in the Southern California counties where liquorice would thrive. It has indeed been grown successfully in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, but only on a small scale. A lot of a few pounds only cannot be marketed. Once let any colony grow and prepare ten or twenty tons and ship it to New York, and it will find ready sale. Let this hypothetical colony put up the liquorice in such neat packages, and prepare it so well, and advertise it so completely that it will outrank all other brands in the world's market. To do this the separate growers must conform to the association standard. Liquorice may stand as but one out of hundreds of equally promising industries. In the new California it is safe to say that success lies in developing the products which are peculiarly adapted to our soil and climate, and in doing this by unity of action. This valley will be famed for dried apricots; that tablelands for citrons, and preserved orange and lemon peel. One county will grow garden seeds and another one roots and herbs. Some communities will be famous for their raisins, others for their light wines, or heavy wines, or for champagnes or brandies. Here a colony will be devoted to preserves of tropic fruits; there the canning of the deciduous fruits will give employment to the whole community: and, in yet other cases, drying of prunes, peaches etc., will be the chief industry. Some favored spots will grow rich upon the growth of flowers and the making of pure perfumes and extracts; others will be occupied with delicate confections, flavors, extracts and jellies. From a study of the commercial requirements of modern times the following hints may be given: Raw products should seldom be shipped. It is better as a rule to market ground flour than sacks of wheat, corn meal than corn, dried, canned and preserved fruits. At the last meeting of the State Horsecultural Society, Dr. Chapin called attentiotion to a lot of cuttings of fruit trees, showing the wood-destroying work of the apple scrabug infesting the Santa Clara valley, whits ravages shown on the wood. It attacked all kinds of fruit trees, especially pear and cherry trees; also currant bushes. Every fruit grower in the State was probably detined to make the acquaintance of this insult; and take measures to destroy it as soon as appears, or be destroyed by it. Apricots had been supposed to be exempt from theravages, but he had lately seen apricot trees attacked by it, and ornamental trees were also liable to its ravages. The insect was an apple-scale bug, genus Aspidiotus, species determined. The best destructive agrothat had yet been found was a spray wipe of lye and water. The strongest solution that could safely be applied was one pound of concentrated mercantile lye to two pounds of water, applied by means of a fine pump and a lawn-sprinkling nozzle or ordinary hose. The application would treat every bug it reached, and it could be applied in mixtures as weak as one pound lye to three or four gallons of water. Lye was cheaper than petroleum or other application, and bad the further advantage of fertilizing the ground and stimulating the infected tree. The strongest lation should only be applied when the male one hardly be seen with the na-eye. GAZETTE. MIL 2, 1881. Cost of Burning a Dead Body. WASHINGTON, Pa., March 10.—The trustees of the Lemoyne Crematory in this place have had so many queries put at them in relation to the manner, expense, &c., of cremation, that they have had the following circular printed and sent to persons desiring information: In reply to your inquiries in regard to cremation, we would say that Dr. F. Julius Lemoyne erected his crematory for his own use and that of persons in the neighborhood, and not for the general public, his hope being that crematories would be erected in different parts of the country. He, however, allowed the cremation of a few bodies, for the purpose of keeping this reform before the public as well as to gratify a strong desire of those who had no other way of showing their interest in the subject. The trustees endeavor to follow his wishes, although he left no directions in the matter, or any fund for keeping up the crematory, hence a small sum is added to the actual cost of cremation. The crematory is situated at Washington, Washington County, Pa. The place may be reached by rail from either Pittaburg or Wheeling. The trustees will receive no bodies for cremation unless they are previously sat isied that death is recent and from natural causes. This information must be accompanied by a certificate from the attending physician and the Board of Health, and some referees known to both parties are desirable. A timely notice is required for another reason. It requires about twenty-four hours PACIFIC COAST NEWS. A young man named Johnson was run over by a car at Deming and badly mangled. Peter Hicks stabbed Michael Cronia at Napa on Saturday. Up to last Saturday 100.6 inches of rain had fallen at Shasta. James Beety, a brakeman, was thrown from a car near Tucson on Saturday and badly hurt. Benjamin Gifford, a saloon keeper of San Jose, has been held in the sum of $10,000 to answer a charge of outraging Emma Clark. John Parry aged 30, was found dead in his bed at the Brooklyn Hotel San Francisco on Friday. He was from Helena, Montana. Charles Kistle was found in a dying condition in a saloon at Dutch Flat on Saturday. He was a victim of exposure and drink. In Yreka, Siskiyou county, March 26th, Terry Brinhon was instantly killed at Red Cap Creek, near Orleans Bar, by a stump falling, under which he was mining. At Martinez an apprentice named Luckman, belonging to the English ship Benmore, loading at Port Costa, fell from the mizzen royal yard to the deck, head foremost, and was killed instantly. Browning's little daughter fell in a flume, at Orleans Bar, on the Klamath, Saturday, and was carried over a drop of fifteen feet, and another of eight feet. Although badly cut about the head, she appears to be improving under medical treatment. The crematory is situated at Washington, Washington County, Pa. The place may be reached by rail from either Pittsburg or Wheeling. The trustees will receive no bodies for cremation unless they are previously sat ified that death is recent and from natural causes. This information must be accompanied by a certificate from the attending physician and the Board of Health, and some referees known to both parties are desirable. A timely notice is required for another reason. It requires about twenty-four hours to heat the furnace before the introduction of the body; after the body is placed in the retort, it is consumed in about two-hours, but from twenty to twenty-four hours must be allowed for the cooling of the retort before the ashes can be removed. The body is removed from the coffin before cremation; hence, if a sheet be laid in the coffin under the body, it can be lifted out more easily. Simple clothing and a plain coffin are recommended. The ashes are generally placed in a sealed tin box, and can be carried away by the friends or sent by express. The weight of the ashes varies from five to seven pounds. The cost of cremating a body is $45. This includes all the expenses after the body reaches the railroad station at Washington — hearse, carriage, and box, as well as fuel, attendance, &c. Hoping you will find all your questions satisfactorily answered, we remain yours &c., V. HARDING, JULIUS LE MOYNE, Trustees Rome, March 29.—The Pope recently ordered the Cardinal Vicar to institute a strict inquiry into the sacrilegious traffic in spurious relics. The Cardinal Vicar accordingly addressed a circular to the Catholic administrators throughout the world, intimating that no bodies have been taken from the catacombs for thirty years, and warning them against imposters. Entire osteological specimens purporting to be the remains of the early Christian martyrs, freshly dug from the catacombs in Rome, have been shipped to America. Chicago, March 26.—This city has also developed a faster in the person of William Cooney, of 85 North Clark street, who came here from Sturgeon Bay, Wis. He claims to be the Holy Ghost, the successor of Christ, and is a remarkably intelligent lunatic. He has fasted twenty-five days, only drinking water during this time, and says he will live on faith and water until Easter (April 17th). He has been in an insane asylum at Worcester, Mass., where he indulged in a nine-day fast on one occasion. New York, March 26.—The champion, Hanlan, has arrived in town, and announces himself ready to meet anybody in the world for any amount up to $10,000, and beat him fifteen seconds. He has a poor opinion of Courtney, and says he is the easiest man to beat. Any race to be rowed herafter, he says, must occur at Toronto, where the people have been good to him, and they must have a show. At Martinez an apprentice named Luckman, belonging to the English ship Benmore, loading at Port Costa, fell from the misson royal yard to the deck, head foremost, and was killed instantly. Browning's little daughter fell in a flume, at Orleans Bar, on the Klamath, Saturday, and was carried over a drop of fifteen feet, and another of eight feet. Although badly cut about the head, she appears to be improving under medical treatment. Joseph Dominici informs the Stanislaws Nees that during the hailstorm that occurred at Modesto, two weeks ago, the wind blew so hard at his ranch that it tore a steel mold-board from his plow, standing in the field, and carried it so far that it has not yet been found. At Sacramento, in the case of Nancy Hamilton, charged with the murder of her husband in October last, and who set up insanity and produced strong evidence to sustain the plea, the jury, after being out twenty-eight hours, returned a verdict of involuntary manslaughter. In its railroad news the San Diego Union says: Men are at work on an extension of 40 miles from San Diego in a northeast direction. They are also working surveys from Santa Ana south toward San Diego, and there is a gap now of some 60 miles between the forces. At Woodland on Friday Frank W. Allen, a native of Massachusetts, aged 27 years, shot and killed himself after unsuccessfully attempting the life of his wife. The suicide was committed in a house of ill-fame kept by his wife, while Allen was under the influence of liquor. The cause is supposed to have been family troubles. Chancellor Hartson of Napa has been nominated by the President for Collector of Internal Revenue-for the first California District, vice Highy; N. W. Spaulding of Oakland has been nominated for U. S. Assistant Treasurer at San Francisco vice William Sherman; Charles M. Leavy has been nominated for Assistant Appraiser at San Francisco vice Fred Lux. Dr. Lyford yesterday received a communication from Dr. Heyen, of La Noria, stating that Hon. J. K. Luttrell, who has been ill for some time past but had partially recovered, has taken a relapse and now lies in a very critical condition. The Doctor states that if Mr. Luttrell recovers from his present sickness, which is an affection of the brain, his mind will probably be in a shattered condition.—Tucson Star. The trial of Cruz Dominic, at Bakerfield, for the murder of Francisco Cunco, an infenitive old man of 75, was concluded in the Superior Court on Friday of last week, and the case was given to the jury.
