WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY APRIL 23, 1881 The widow of John Brown is living near San Jose; she is poor and her home is mortgaged, and public subscriptions are being solicited to aid her. Money is coming in from all quarters, and the old lady will doubtless end her days undistressed by pecuniary want. There are two opinions held about John Brown. One is that he was a martyr to human freedom. The other is that "he went to Virginia to steal, to kill and incite revolt, and was hung for his high crimes." This last opinion is held by the San Diego "News." The "regular" physicians in San Francisco have got themselves into a peck of trouble in trying to harass that class of doctors generally known as quacks. A law passed in April, 1878, requires all vendors of medicines, or persons who profess to cure any disease or deformity, to pay a license of $100 per month. The section was intended to apply to "quacks" only, and was passed at the instance of the regular physicians in the city. The State Medical Society recently called the attention of the License Collector of the metropolis to the law, and asked him to enforce it. That officer submitted the section to able lawyers, and they say that for his own protection he must not only enforce the collection from "quacks" but from all physicians in the city, the language of the section admitting of that interpretation. The Collector has accordingly given notice of his intention to collect the tax, and there is a wailing and gnashing of teeth among the medicos. THE BRANCH NORMAL SCHOOL. The Board of Normal School Trustees, in their wisdom, selected a site for the Branch Normal School upon which there was and is a mortgage of $8,000. It is a condition of the bill passed by the Legislature that the site shall be deeded to the State free of all incumbrances. This has not yet been done; the Council has refused to make any appropriation of the public money to help pay off the mortgage; $6,500 has been raised by private subscription, and it seems impossible to get beyond that figure. Unless the title to the site is vested in the State within a few days, it will be incumbent upon the Trustees to select another site. Now, we serve notice upon all whom it may concern that if the question of selecting a site is again opened, Anaheim will put in a formal bid for the school. The bill permits the school to be located anywhere in the county. The Trustees are required to view the various sites offered, and decide which is the most eligible. Before the Trustees came to Los Angeles for that purpose, the newspapers teemed with bids from every one-horse village in the county; and it was a subject of remark that Anaheim, the most eligible location in the county (excepting the city of Los Angeles), put forth no claims to the school. But the fact is that the Gazette, in common with the Trustees, thought that the city of Los Angeles was the proper place for the school, and was unwilling to bring forward the claims of Anaheim, knowing that there was no possible chance of having them considered. But the people of Los Angeles have acted so contemptibly in this matter that it is doubtful if they will get the school. They don't deserve it. They have INCREASED VINEYARD. A Gratifying Exhibit—Seven Acres of New Vineyards Some weeks ago we undertook gathering statistics as to the varieties of vines planted in vicinity this season. Even since we are unable to give a compromissions are unavoidable and red to in a future number of the parties omitted will kindly desired information.

BROWNING, 14,000 Bel Every once in awhile the charge is made that Gen. Logan (the Senator from Illinois) was at the commencement of the war a sympathizer with the secessionists. Although he subsequently fought bravely on the Union side, the story would not down and found many believers. It came up in the Senate the other day and Logan vehemently denied the truth of the story and read documents tending to disprove it. Senator Beck of Kentucky also said, in the course of a speech, that at the close of the war he had been kept out of the House of Representatives for some time through the efforts of Logan, and he had collected some papers reflecting on that gentleman's action at the outbreak of the struggle. He had submitted many of those papers to Frank Blair, who had said to him: "Beck, John Logan was one of the best fighters in the war, and when the men who are trying to whistle him down with wind were seeking safe places, he was holding his life in his hands." And, continued Beck, I took every paper I had and burned them before his eyes. There is an open rupture in the Board of Railroad Commissioners—Cone and Beerstecher on one side and Stoneman on the other. The proceedings of their last meeting is given on the first page of to-day's paper. Since that meeting, an interview with Beerstecher has been published in the city papers, in which he imputes to Stoneman motives and views which only a demagogue of the worst type would hold. He says that it was agreed that each Commissioner should propose reductions on the railroad lines in their respective districts; that while Cone and himself did prepare schedules of reductions for their districts, Stoneman deliberately failed school. But the fact is that the Gazette, in common with the Trustees, thought that the city of Los Angeles was the proper place for the school, and was unwilling to bring forward the claims of Anaheim, knowing that there was no possible chance of having them considered. But the people of Los Angeles have acted so contemptibly in this matter that it is doubtful if they will get the school. They don't deserve it. They have insulted the Trustees by imputing improper motives to them in selecting the site where they did; the people have arrayed themselves on opposite sides—or, more properly speaking, have formed about a dozen factions—and each faction heartily denounces every other one; and rather than see one part of the town get the school all the other aspiring parts would prefer its location a hundred miles away. If Los Angeles refuses to let the school be built within its limits, it is plainly the duty of the Trustees to select Anaheim as the site, always provided that our people make an offer in keeping with the benefits which this place would derive from the location of such an institution here. We now have the best school house in the county; there are in the immediate vicinity of this school house grounds which could be secured for the Normal School, if it was thought proper that the two buildings should be in juxtaposition. If that was not thought necessary, the owners of the Stearns' Rancho would doubtless offer to give a valuable tract of land contiguous to town, on which the school might be built. When the proper time comes, we will prove to "the powers that be" that Anaheim is justly entitled to the school, if Los Angeles will have none of it. In California, localities as well as men have to go through more "ups and downs" than falls to the lot of people or places in older commonwealths. We will take the town of Benicia as an illustration. Once it was the capital of the State, and enjoyed an importance second only to San Francisco. From the very topmost height of prosperity it rolled slowly down into the abyss of desolation, and a few years ago there was P. W. BRAS, 8000 Mission. W. J. SMITH, 12,500 Mission. D. G.

He says that it was agreed that each Commissioner should propose reductions on the railroad lines in their respective districts; that while Cone and himself did prepare schedules of reductions for their districts, Stoneman deliberately failed and neglected to make any schedule for his district; that Stoneman tried to induce him (Beerstecher) to consent to reduce freight rates from thirty-three to fifty per cent, but that he would not agree to make such sweeping reductions arbitrarily and without thorough examination; that Stoneman said that such a proceeding would be popular, and that the storm of injunctions and suits which would follow would effectually tie up the Commission for the balance of their term. They would have nothing further to do, and the public would be deluded into the belief that they were martyrs to a sense of duty and would triumphantly re-elect them. We see by a Los Angeles paper that Stoneman has decided not to reply to these accusations, because, for sooth, his character stands too high to suffer from any attacks made upon it by such a person as Beerstecher! As well might the unfortunate victim of a skunk's attentions refuse to cleanse his clothes from the odor, because of the source of the attack. Judge Rankin has had 400 five-year old peach trees ruined at San Jose by the application of petroleum. IN California, localities as well as men have to go through more "ups and downs" than falls to the lot of people or places in older commonwealths. We will take the town of Benicia as an illustration. Once it was the capital of the State, and enjoyed an importance second only to San Francisco. From the very topmost height of prosperity it rolled slowly down into the abyss of desolation, and a few years ago there was not a more unpromising, stagnant, deader town on the Pacific Coast. To-day it is the scene of life and activity, dozens of buildings are being erected, merchants are prosperous and laborers are well rewarded. Let people of other localities remember that the tide don't always run one way, and that prosperity is almost certain to follow a season of adversity as the night is to follow the day. A New Disease of Horses. CHICAGO, April 19th.—The troubles of the Street Car Companies are not yet past. A peculiar, and heretofore unknown disease, has broken out among the horses. It begins with a swelling just below the fetlock, which after a little festers and becomes a discharging sore. It yields slowly to skillful treatment, but unless taken early, the poisonous matter spreads upwards and infects the blood, causing death. The horses are, in any case, laid up from two to three weeks. Veterinary surgeons attribute the disease to the long period of winter, during which the animals have been obliged to stand and travel in the cold and wet alush. The disease has been gaining ground for some days, and to-day a large proportion of the South Side Company's horses are under treatment; also 200 horses of the North Side Company, and 75 of the West Side Company. Parmelos Bros.' Line reported one horse dead and 40 laid up. The Express Companies and private individuals also suffer. There is rejoicing in the last son of frost has passed; the vining vigorously; the profuse bloom mise of a large harvest; no disable in any of the vineyards; it is not nearly so numerous as it Taken altogether, the season more propitiously in Anaheim we are tempted to make a call the result of the grape harvest to our mind such wise saying many a slip 'twixt the cup "Don't count your chickens hatched," etc., etc. We will away our little figures until later son, merely remarking that no yardists with whom we have toicipate any disaster to the crea The St. Helena winegrowers conclude that plowed has had time to dry up will better than unplowed ground, ger of frost is much lessened; understood that freshly plowed yet dry on the surface, is now draw frost; therefore, don't there is danger of frost.

Eails' canal project: TAMPICO BAR, March 5, 1881. Beyond the delightful climate (for me) of Tampico, the town, which lies in sight some six miles up the river, is not very interesting, for it is not yet fifty years old. With the railroad to San Luis Potosi, now surveyed and to be built within two years, and the improvement of this bar, Tampico will become a very important port, for it has a vast and rich back country. We arrived on a Sunday, and I found the authorities, civil and military, as well as the merchants of the place, had been expectant of me. No welcome could be more hospitable, and everything in their power is done for the comfort of myself and assistants, and for the promotion of our work. On the afternoon of our arrival I went with Gen. Flores, military commandant, and staff, together with some foreign merchants resident, to a bull fight. One horse was gored a little (this part of such a performance I don't like; a man takes his life in his own hands and can look out for himself), one or two of the footmen had very narrow escapes from the horns, and the matador killed three bulls in a very clumsy manner. The sword should be thrust through the bull, entering above one shoulder-blade, transfixing the heart, and coming out behind the other shoulder, and should be withdrawn as the bull drops lifeless. Here, in each case, the slayer left the sword in the bull and did not pierce the heart, the animals being despatched by prodding them behind the horns. In the evening we went to the plaza to hear the band play and to see the troops of maskers, it being carnival time. A party of young men were dressed in imitation of the Spanish students who made such a furore at Paris a few months since, and played well on guitars, triples, castanets, tamboretes, etc. The next day we came down to this place, and are comfortably established at a very good hotel, kept by an old Italian who is his own cook. I have rarely seen as good a table. I am getting WESTMINSTER ITEMS. More arrivals here from the East since our last—Mr. and Mrs. Lawson, who are staying with Mr. Beckett. Rev. Mr. Porter and Mr. Kiefhaber have received their fish, which arrived in good order and were at once placed in their ponds. Mr. Pope also intends to go into the business. We saw a fine corn stalk in the postoffice a few days ago, grown by Mr. Griswold. It had seven ears on it, and was of the kind known as "Prolific." Our school will close on Friday next with the usual exercises. The term has lasted over a month longer than last year. From opinions we hear expressed, we can assure our present teachers a welcome if they return among us at the close of the vacation. Satisfaction seems to have been given on all sides. It is probable that a lumber yard will be started at the Landing this summer. This will be a great convenience to our people, as the greatest part of our teaming is between here and that port. Earl Beaconsfield Dead. London, April 19.-Beaconsfield took nourishment up to 1:30 o'clock. About 2 he became comatose, breathing with difficulty. Dra. Kidd and Bruce at once applied the usual restoratives; but for the first time since his illness they failed to produce effect, and it became evident that death was imminent. Five minutes before he expired his breathing became slow and gentle; his face very placid and the heart's action and pulse continued a few minutes after breathing had ceased to be apparent. His friends and nurses continued around the bed tor a few minutes after his pulse ceased, as the end was so quiet it was difficult to realize that he was dead. He will be buried by the side of his wife in a grave of Parish Church of Hughen-don manor. It is understood that this was his earnest wish and direction. California Raisins. New York, April 18.-The Sun, reviewing California raisin culture; says: At their best these raisins compare favorably with London layers. The finest Malaga fruit are ordinarily imported to this country, and on the average they are about equal to plain The above list shows that 461,000 vines have been planted, and the omissions to which we have referred will probably swell the number to over half a million, which would cover an area of over seven hundred acres. In addition to this, a large number of cuttings have been put in nursery, and the rooted vines will be planted next year. The above table would indicate that the Malvoise is a favorite grape here. It is unquestionably a prolific bearer, vigorous grower, and winemakers like to buy them. They make an excellent port wine, but can also be used to make white wine and brandy. In most of the new vineyards the vines are set eight feet apart. In the old vineyards the vines are six feet apart, but all agree that it is better to give them more room. There is rejoicing in the land. The season of frost has passed; the vines are growing vigorously; the profuse bloom gives promise of a large harvest; no disease is observable in any of the vineyards; the cut worm is not nearly so numerous as it was last year. Taken altogether, the season never began more prominently in Anaheim; but just as in the bull and did not pierce the heart, the animals being despatched by prodding them behind the horns. In the evening we went to the plaza to hear the band play and to see the troops of maskers, it being carnival time. A party of young men were dressed in imitation of the Spanish students who made such a furore at Paris a few months since, and played well on guitars, triples, castanets, tamboretes, etc. The next day we came down to this place, and are comfortably established at a very good hotel, kept by an old Italian who is his own cook. I have rarely seen as good a table. I am getting along very well with the work, although the northers interfere somewhat with our sounding. This bar is the worst in all the Gulf coast. Innumerable are the shipwrecks which have taken place here; many the men that have been drowned on this "harbor bar," which never does "cease mooning," or who have been eaten by the sharks which abound in myriads at the river's mouth. It is to be hoped that they will eat no one of my party. STAKING HORSES. EDITOR GAZETTE: — Many people living along public roads indulge in the pernicious habit of staking their horses or cows near such roads, and so close as to permit the animal staked to cross the road and eat the succulent grass growing on the road side opposite the stake. It is needless for me to say that no horse or cow ever failed to avail themselves of the privilege of going to the utmost limit of their tether, nor would volumes of natural science, botany or philosophy read to these animals, induce either of them to discard the belief that the grass growing near the end of their tether is sweeter than that growing near the stake. Now, this apparently innocent practice of staking animals near public roads is a very dangerous one, besides being unlawful also. Under the provisions of the Penal Code it is unlawful to obstruct a public highway, and there can be no more dangerous obstruction than a strong rope stretched across a road, one end tied to a stake and the other end fastened to the neck of a frightened horse. This practice has resulted in a number of accidents. On the 3d of this month a gentleman was driving along the public road from Anaheim to Santa Ana, a little after dark, when near the R. R. bridge he encountered one of these stretched ropes, which overturned the buggy, threw the gentleman, wife and child out, caused the horses to run away, wrecking the buggy and seriously injuring one of the horses. The gentleman who was thus damaged has brought suit against the party who staked the horse so as to obstruct the road. Now, whatever the result of that suit may be, it should certainly be a warning to all persons who are in the habit of staking their animals near public roads, for they are not only liable to a criminal action but they are liable to civil damages. TRAVELER. ORANGE ITEMS. California Raisins. New York, April 18.—The Sun, reviewing California raisin culture, says: At their best these raisins compare favorably with London layers. The finest Malaga fruit are ordinarily imported to this country, and on the average they are about equal to plain layers of an inferior quality. Only a few of the highest grades of Malaga fruit are in demand in our market, however, and therefore, when we say that California raisins are nearly equal to London layers, we merely compare them with the lower grade Malaga raisins. About one-fifth of the Spanish raisins are better than any yet produced in California, whose fruit could therefore not be ranked higher than a sixth in quality in Malaga. But the California producers are steadily improving in their process of cultivation, and the objections to their raisins can all be overcome with proper care. Mahoneisms. New York, April 18th.—The Times Washington special says: The sharp words which passed between Mahone and the Democratic Senators are not likely to make any trouble. The days of dueling are past in this country. It is reported that Mahone says he can easily dispose of all the Democratic Senators one by one if they will meet him on the field of diet, sleep and other habits of daily life. That is, if they will eat, sleep and drink as little as he does, and smoke as much. Any challenges looking to a contest of this kind would probably be accepted. The World's Washington special says that the Republicans were given to understand in the Senate yesterday that an alternative will be presented to them in December of throwing Riddleberger overboard or casting their votes against a Republican Union General bearing wounds received in the war, a gentleman of high personal character and clear gallantry, who will be nominated by a Republican for the office of Sergeant-at-arms, and for whom every Democrat will vote. New York, April 16.—Peter N. M. Flynn, Justice of the Peace, was Judge of Election in the Jersey City election. Last Tuesday, while the votes were being counted, he was detected in the act of putting a package of ballots in the box. His arm was seized before he could drop them, and a number of ballots were found concealed in his coat sleeve. Yesterday afternoon, the parties who witnessed the act went before the Grand Jury and had Justice Flynn indicted. He was arrested and locked up in the County Jail this morning. San Francisco Market. Wheat—No. 1, $1 37¼@1 40; No. 2,$1 32½@1 35. Barley—Coast feed. $21¾@87¼; Chevalier. In most of the new vineyards the vines are set eight feet apart. In the old vineyards the vines are six feet apart, but all agree that it is better to give them more room. There is rejoicing in the land. The season of frost has passed; the vines are growing vigorously; the profuse bloom gives promise of a large harvest; no disease is observable in any of the vineyards; the cut worm is not nearly so numerous as it was last year. Taken altogether, the season never began more propitiously in Anaheim; but just as we are tempted to make a calculation as to the result of the grape harvest, there comes to our mind such wise sayings as "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," "Don't count your chickens before they're catched," etc., etc. We will, therefore, put away our little figures until later in the season, merely remarking that none of the vineyardists with whom we have conversed anticipate any disaster to the crop. The St. Helena winegrowers have come to the conclusion that plowed ground which has had time to dry up will retain heat much better than unplowed ground, and the danger of frost is much lessened; but it must be understood that freshly plowed ground, not wet dry on the surface, is more liable to draw frost; therefore, don't plow when there is danger of frost. New York, April 18th.—The Times publishes statistics from the Consular reports showing the extent to which adulterated wines are imported in France, and says there is unquestioned evidence that the deficiency in the home produce is supplied by millions of gallons of wine made in Spain, Italy, Hungary, Turkey and even in Algiers, brought into France and there mixed and "doctored," watered and drugged, until it assumes the appearance and taste of the product of French vineyards, and becomes suited for the markets once honestly supplied. This is the substance of the reports made to the State Department by consuls and agents of the United States stationed in France. ORANGE ITEMS. Easter Sunday has passed, and the variegated eggs have fallen below par. Oranges are growing scarce, and the irreverent boys think their flavor is improved by being plucked by moonlight. The slight showers—about 40 drops—on last Friday and Saturday were thankfully received. They reminded us of the boy's remark after squeezing his empty flask, i.e.: "There is not much in a pint, anyhow." Our new store will be opened soon. The proprietor is now in San Francisco buying his stock of goods. He intends to keep a little of everything, and sell the same cheap for cash. The Rifle Club started for their range on last Saturday afternoon in fine spirits, but on arriving they found that the damp, cloudy weather had shrunk the bull's eye so much that it was impossible to hit it, even on the bounce. Two dollars and fifty cents is charged for the privilege of signing the constitution and by-laws, or five shots for twenty-five cents. The case tried before the school trustees on last Saturday—Young Ladies vs Teacher—resulted in the trustees recommending quiet expulsion in the place of the do-as-you-please method as heretofore practiced. The temporal affairs of our village are every way prospering. There is work for all to do at good wages, and the times are especially propitious; the face of a beneficent Providence is turned fully and freely upon us with not one cloud to intervene. TRAVELER.
