WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY... JUNE 18, 1861 A LITTLE Cincinnati boy has been slowly wasting away with some unexplained disease for several months. The German women of the neighborhood concluded that he was a victim of witchcraft, and sent a committee to inform the parents, who did not accept the explanation, but permitted an examination of the bed. There is a German superstition that witches cause feathers in a bed to weave themselves into a wreath, and that whoever sleeps on it will become ill, dying when the ends of the wreath come together. Sure enough, the women found in the boy's bed what they declared was a witch's wreath. It was sprinkled with salt and burned, in accordance with a traditional method. There is something laughable in the attempt to punish a Chinaman in Wyoming Territory for miscegenation. He had married a white woman, and the outraged Cheyenne whites caused his arrest under a Territorial law aimed against miscegenation. The Court has discharged the prisoner on the ground that the marriage ceremony was performed in Colorado, and that such a marriage being legal in that State it was legal in Wyoming. But the happy bridegroom's troubles are not over. His fellow-countrymen are greatly shocked at his having married a white woman and have ostracized him. Snubbed by the whites and Boycotted by the Chinese, the newly-married man must think that his voyage over the matrimonial sea is likely to be a troubled one. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. The people of Anaheim will find much comfort in the decision of the Supreme Court quoted below. Their position in a suit now being considered by Judge McNealy is, we are told, almost identical with that of Los Angeles; and their claim to the waters of the Santa Ana river is as strong in law as the claim of Los Angeles to the waters of the Los Angeles river. Those who have studied the matter say there is every reason to believe that, in view of this Supreme Court decision, Judge McNealy will give his decision in favor of the Anaheim Water Company. The following is taken from a San Francisco paper: The Supreme Court filed a decision yesterday afternoon in the case of Anastacio Feliz et al. vs. the City of Los Angeles. The contest related to the right of use of the waters of the Los Angeles river, the plaintiffs claiming the right to use the same under an appropriation made by them or their grantors in the year 1844, and the defendant claiming the exclusive right to use the same for a period extending as far back as the year 1781. The plaintiffs own tracts of land bounded on the east by the Los Angeles river, and since 1844 they have used the water of that river, through certain ditches, for the purpose of irrigating their lands. In May, 1879, the water in the river, in consequence of the use and diversion thereof by plaintiffs, became so reduced in quantity that a sufficient quantity thereof did not flow down the river below plaintiff's ditches to supply the wants of the city, and thereupon the city, by its officers and agents, entered upon the ditches at their heads, and returned the water that was flowing through GROWING THE HINTS FROM AN ORCHARD A Paper Read by I Before the Anaheim Water Company.

The head of a department, in his efforts to reform affairs, must have the sympathy and cooperation of the President in order to accomplish anything. If Postmaster-General James did not know that Garfield was with him, he would never have had the temerity to expose the powerful star-route ring and dare their wrath. The country is to be congratulated upon not having a President who, while uttering such sententious phrases as "Let no guilty man escape," secretly sends a warning message to the criminals. In the short time that Mr. James has been at the head of the Postoffice Department he has reduced the expenditures on the star service $745,568. The reduction in March was $215,490; in April $84,531, and in May $445,547. In order to fully appreciate the importance of these reductions, it should be borne in mind that the star service is just as efficient as heretofore. The amount saved just represents the clear stealings of the Brady regime. The popular craze just now appears to be the finding of new noxious insects on fruit trees and grape vines, but in the hurry to achieve notoriety in this particular way the discoverers jump at some very ridiculous conclusions. Here we have a Santa Barbara man gravely and with much tinkling of cymbals, sending to the State University a “new” enemy to the vine, which is described by the newspapers as appearing “on the stems and leaves of the vine in the certain ditches, for the purpose of rigating their lands. In May, 1879, the water in the river, in consequence of the use and diversion thereof by plaintiffs, became so reduced in quantity that a sufficient quantity thereof did not flow down the river below plaintiff’s ditches to supply the wants of the city, and thereupon the city, by its officers and agents, entered upon the ditches at their heads, and returned the water that was flowing through the same to the bed of the river, and the city held possession of the ditches and prevented the waters from flowing therein. The Court below found that the plaintiffs, as riparian owners, were entitled to divert a reasonable amount of water for irrigation and domestic use. The Supreme Court points out that for nearly a hundred years the city of Los Angeles had asserted a claim to all the waters of Los Angeles river, and such claim had been recognized by all persons interested, from the head of the stream and along its banks, including the plaintiffs and their grantors, for it appeared from the findings that the use of the waters of the river was under the license, permission and consent of the defendant, until within the last two or three years. The counsel held that to the extent of the needs of the inhabitants, it had the permanent right to the use of the waters of the river, and further right, long exercised and recognized, as appeared from the findings, to manage and control the said waters for those purposes. Judgment reversed and the Court below instructed to enter judgment in favor of the defendant upon the findings. Upon the authority of this case, judgment in the suit of Elms against the City of Los Angeles was also reversed. The sugar-beet industry is still engaging the attention of several of the Eastern States. Some farmers in Pennsylvania and other States are experimenting in the growth of the beets, utilizing them for cattle feed. A bill is to be brought before the Legislature of that State, having for its object the encouragement of sugar-beet cultivation and beet-sugar manufacture. The Delaware Beet-Sugar Company will plant three hundred acres with beets this year, rather than rely entirely on the farmers.

Here we have a Santa Barbara man gravely and with much tinkling of cymbals, sending to the State University a "new" enemy to the vine, which is described by the newspapers as appearing "on the stems and leaves of the vine in the form of a bunch of adhesive white patches, like spiders' nests or little balls of cotton. Upon scratching into these they are found to contain myriads of eggs of a yellowish tinge. What these will become after development is unknown." We can assure the discoverer of this "noxious" insect that it is perfectly harmless. It has been found on the vines of Los Angeles county for twenty years or more, and has not yet developed any destructive qualities. The State Viticultural officer can dismiss from his overburdened mind all anxiety in regard to this spider. This is a proper place to speak of the immunity from all destructive pests which is characteristic of the Anaheim vineyards. The most formidable enemy which the grapegrowers here have had to contend with has been the "out-worm," and the epithet "formidable" is scarcely the word to apply to it. The appearance of the worm means a little extra outlay for men to pick it off the leaves, and that is all. None of the vexatious and injurious pests which appear to worry the vinegrowers of other parts more and more every year have ever caused the Anaheim vineyardista a shade of anxiety. We admit that they have had their troubles, but the presence of injurious insects in their vineyards is not one of them. Dr. O'Donnell, who as a blackguard is only rivalled by Kearney, made a sensation on the Sand Lot on last Sunday by burning the English flag, entwined with the flag of the Chinese Empire. This elevating spectacle was witnessed by the usual crowd which congregates on the Sand Lot every Sunday, and was received by them with outbursts of enthusiastic approval. GROWING THE ORANGE. HINTS FROM A PRACTICAL ORCHARDIST. A Paper Read by Mr. R. H. Gilman Before the Anaheim Horticultural and Viticultural Society. Mr. President:—In complying with the request of the Committee to read a paper on orange culture, I do it more from a sense of duty to contribute my mite than from a consciousness of my ability to handle the subject with justice to it. I am aware that many before me are more competent to interest and instruct you, and the Press is constantly producing valuable and exhaustive articles from our most intelligent orchardists. The question is often asked (and a very important one): "Will it pay to grow the orange?" Orchardists both in Florida and California have had, and many still have, grand ideas of profit in connection with the cultivation of this fruit. Their calculations and estimates are frequently in proportion as the temperament of the cultivator is sanguine or otherwise. Land agents are apt to represent the area adapted to the successful culture of the orange larger than actual tests justify. Experience has shown that it is really smaller than any of us thought a few years since. Within only a very short time large numbers of trees were being planted throughout the northern part of the State; also in low, wet and cold lands in our more immediate vicinity. With but few exceptions these ventures have proved failures, and even in some instances, when the trees have arrived at maturity, the fruit is of a quality that will not justify shipment. A few years ago, when the comparatively small amount of seedling oranges produced did not half supply the home consumption, and they sold at from $25 to $50 per thousand, bearing orchards bringing their fortunate owners $1000 and more per acre annually, then the object with most of us was to get oranges. Oranges were oranges, and we thought they always would be. We now see a change, and it is well for orchardists to look facts square in the face. California now produces more oranges than the markets of this coast will dispose of at remunerative prices. It is probable that the home consumption of oranges will increase; but at the same time the production is increasing in a greater ratio, and vocate frequent irrigation, others none; others, of all grades between. The same can be said in regard to trimming. There may be extremists in both these matters; I think they both are overdone more frequently than the reverse. Again, some point to their thrifty trees in proof of the utility of deep plowing, while an equally thrifty orchard adjoining has only received frequent harrowing or cultivating. I am not competent to state the best course, but have followed the latter for the past two years, and am pleased with the result. The fungus and scale insect question is a serious one. Some localities seem to be particularly afflicted, while others are entirely exempt. Occasionally we find orchards free, or nearly so, from it, while others near are affected. I am quite certain a young orchard taken in time can be saved from it by good care and the liberal use of washes. The green aphis is probably to a great extent responsible for this fungus by first coating the tree with its exudation (honey dew), the first cause, I believe. Just previous to the heated spell of June, 1877, I noticed several trees infested with this insect, the trees being rapidly gummed with honey dew, and small spots of black making an appearance. Almost the first balmy puff of that gentle zephyr cooked the gentlemen effectually and nipped (I think) a fine crop of fungus in the bud. Some localities in San Bernardino county are exempt, the trees being as clean as a sheet of paper. May not the reason be that owing to a rather close proximity to the desert, and having their winds served up a few degrees hotter than places near the coast, makes it a little too warm for Mr. Aphis? Every owner of an infested tree should do his best to renovate it; it surely can be done. Intelligent and persistent experiment and discussion of results will accomplish much. The gum disease is a problem not yet satisfactorily solved. Both cause and cure have received much attention, but with no positive solution. Old trees are oftener afflicted than young ones, yet I have often seen young, well cared-for, thrifty trees affected with it. Impoverishment of the soil, too much or too little irrigation, and poor cultivation rank first among the supposed causes, resulting in an unhealthy condition of the sap. The common remedy is the removal of diseased bark and wood, and a coating of some protecting wash from the atmosphere. Careful search should be made. TO IMPROVE THE HUMAN BREED. The Institute of Heredity held a convention at Boston last week, and the hall in which it met was well filled, by far the greater number of the audience being women. This is the society, it may be remembered, which proposes to reform the world by improving the human breed. It contends that mankind, as well as horses and cattle, dogs, pigs, and hens, can be made sounder and more perfect, of greater beauty and higher refinement, if proper care is taken to see that their breeding is in accordance with scientific laws. The Institute of Heredity aims to produce a race which shall be strong and handsome; of vigorous bodies and healthy minds. But it chiefly concerns itself with the eradication of vice, and this it feels sure can be effected by the scientific regulation of marriages. It would get rid of vice by seeing to it that children should be born without vicious tendencies. Of course, if the offspring are to be of sound moral health, the parents must have no leanings toward depravity themselves. It is as reasonable to expect a kind and gentle horse to come from a balky and tricky stock, as it is to hope for children of well-ordered lives and happy moral balance when their ancestors have been dissolute and lacking in self-control, says the Institute of Heredity. The Institute of Heredity, therefore, is a great moral reform society in its purpose, and accordingly we find it drawing to its support some of the men and women who have been conspicuous in other movements for the elevation of mankind or for the cure of particular wrongs or abuses. They were radicals before, but now they are infinitely more radical, for they would destroy the seeds of all evil in the human race. The Rev. Parker Pillsbury, the abolitionist, for instance, is one of these. He said at the convention last week that he believed the principles of heredity might eventually triumph over death and the grave, as they at present exist. But Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker inferred from this and other remarks that there was a disposition to substitute heredity for Christianity as a means of reforming the world. She accordingly spoke warmly in behalf of Christianity, though she said she agreed with the leaders of the Institute, particularly in regard to the political equality of women. Among the prominent half supply the home consumption, and they sold at from $25 to $50 per thousand, bearing orchards bringing their fortunate owners $1000 and more per acre annually, then the object with most of us was to get oranges. Oranges were oranges, and we thought they always would be. We now see a change, and it is well for orchardists to look facts square in the face. California now produces more oranges than the markets of this coast will dispose of at remunerative prices. It is probable that the home consumption of oranges will increase; but at the same time the production is increasing in a greater ratio, and an eastern market must be found or the day will come when our fruit will rot on the ground. The great Northwest, with its large and rapidly increasing population, will eat our fruit when it can be had, prices and quality comparing favorably with Florida productions. Florida produces a good fruit that is already finding its way into most of the Atlantic States. Able judges say that California can and does produce an orange equal—some say superior—to the Florida fruit. Railroads are being built across the continent. They are built to carry freight, and they must carry this freight at rates that will allow of its being shipped. It is not at all probable that we will again enjoy the former high prices of oranges in California, nor is it necessary in order to make the culture of them profitable. An orange tree in good bearing condition will yield large returns, even though the price be less than it has been heretofore. But everything depends on the quality of the fruit—it must be first-class. The history of fruit culture throughout the United States demonstrates the fact that all fruit of a superior quality always finds a paying market, and the business and profits have been increasing for many years. There have been times of depression and a glut in the market of certain kinds, but usually of short duration, and it rarely, if ever, discouraged the production of that particular fruit. At one time the apple market was at a very low ebb and did not pay; yet more apples were planted, more care was used in the selection of varieties, producers learned to market their fruit in attractive shape, and to-day the apple is on a firm, paying basis. Other fruits have passed the same ordeal. People are learning to eat the orange, but in order to make it profitable it must be good as well as cheap. The old idea that "an orange is an orange" must take a back seat, and give way to the idea that "a good orange is an orange." "All is not gold that glitters;" neither will all samples of fruit covered with an orange peel pass muster in the markets or bring its producer a remunerative price. In order to raise good oranges we must have healthy trees. A tree whose lungs (its leaves) and bark are covered with fungus and whose sap is sucked by myriads of scale insects, even if it does produce a good fruit, must have a very up-hill job, and deserves a great deal of praise and sympathy. The corner of such trees should certainly use The gum disease is a problem not yet satisfactorily solved. Both cause and cure have received much attention, but with no positive solution. Old trees are oftener afflicted than young ones, yet I have often seen young, well cared-for, thrifty trees affected with it. Impoverishment of the soil, too much or too little irrigation, and poor cultivation rank first among the supposed causes, resulting in an unhealthy condition of the sap. The common remedy is the removal of diseased bark and wood, and a coating of some protecting wash from the atmosphere. Careful search should be made for the cause, and treatment accordingly. Nearly every county adapted to the growth of the orange appears to be subject to strong winds. In selecting a location for a grove, a protected spot is very advantageous; but many otherwise suitable locations exist, and it should be the first care of the orchardist to grow artificial wind-breaks, and string them along plentifully. It is better to sacrifice a few rows of orange trees than to have the whole orchard and crop more or less mutilated and destroyed. The more experience I have, the more I find to learn and the less confidence I have in established theories. To be successful requires constant and vigilant care, and if not exercised continually, we find plenty of little meddlers perfectly willing to run our orchards for us, which they effectually do—into the ground. GRASS VALLEY, June 11. —A bold and darling robbery occurred within half a mile of the New York Hill Mine, which is about two and a half miles from here. William Campbell's team was on the road to the New York Hill Mine, having on board $8,000 in coin to pay off the miners, when two men stepped out and ordered the driver to stop, saying they wanted the treasure. One of the men then mounted the wagon, and threw the sack containing the coin out. They then ordered the driver to drive on. An alarm was soon given, and the employees of the mine were quickly out in force, but as yet there is no clew. The robbers are described as of medium size and weight, dressed in dark clothes, with dark hats. A reward of $1,000 is offered for the arrest and conviction of the robbers and the recovery of the money. Officers are in pursuit. It is generally thought that assistance has been given to the robbers by former or present residents of the county. WASHINGTON, June 14. —The Collectors of Internal Revenue have been informed that, owing to the appropriation for the fiscal year being nearly exhausted, Gaugers and Storekeepers will only be paid to June 20th at present. Miss M. M. Gillett of Wisconsin, but a resident of Washington and a law student, was appointed to-day by the President a Notary Public for the District of Columbia. This is the first instance where a woman has received a similar appointment from Rev. Parker Pinsbury, the abolitionist, for instance, is one of these. He said at the convention last week that he believed the principles of heredity might eventually triumph over death and the grave, as they at present exist. But Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker inferred from this and other remarks that there was a disposition to substitute heredity for Christianity as a means of reforming the world. She accordingly spoke warmly in behalf of Christianity, though she said she agreed with the leaders of the Institute, particularly in regard to the political equality of women. Among the prominent persons present at the meeting, we observe, were several of the most distinguished advocates of women's rights. They probably are the more ready to accept the doctrines of heredity because these recognize of necessity the essential part women must play is the regeneration of the world according to their scheme. Of course heredity and Christianity are antagonistic. The one proposes to effect the salvation of men by scientific means, by carrying out the doctrine of selection; and the other relies only on supernatural agencies for the transformation of character. Heredity may welcome the aid of Christianity because of its pure moral teachings, but in effect it denies the efficacy of merely spiritual methods for regenerating the race. It does not hope to get rid of sin by converting the sinner, but rather by teaching men and women to so marry that their offspring shall be born with diminishing tendencies to sin. According to its theory, a converted sinner may make an unfit parent for the very reason that he needed to be converted. He has in him evil tendencies, both moral and physical, perhaps, which ought not to be propagated, and they remain, though he may have cleansed his ways under the influence of religion. A balky horse might have been cured by Rarey, and yet it would make a poor parent of stock, especially if it had the blind staggers. Christianity deals only with the soul, the spiritual nature; but heredity concerns itself with both the body and the soul, and holds that the health of the one is as necessary as that of the other, and that both must be sound to produce a perfect man. In order that the race shall be regenerated, fathers and mothers must therefore, be in thorough training in every way. It is not merely necessary that the parents shall be moral and religious, exemplary people in all respects; they must besides be physically sound and free from tendencies to disease. As Dr. Greene said in Boston, "Children cannot be strong and healthy if their progenitors were weak and debased. Among the Greeks," he added, "marriages were contracted with a view to healthy offspring, and we would imitate their example." Mr. Loring Moody, the Secretary of the Institute, who was one of the speakers, said he had intended to open a school for the young to give them instruction specially in regard to marriage and its obligations; but the society has not yet got so far as that. must take a back seat, and give way to the idea that "a good orange is an orange." "All is not gold that glitters;" neither will all samples of fruit covered with an orange peel pass muster in the markets or bring its producer a remunerative price. In order to raise good oranges we must have healthy trees. A tree whose lungs (its leaves) and bark are covered with fungus and whose sap is sucked by myriads of scale insects, even if it does produce a good fruit, must have a very up-hill job, and deserves a great deal of praise and sympathy. The owner of such trees should certainly use every means to effectually clean them, or I fear the fruit will never rank first-class. The best varieties must also be studied, and propagated by budding. If a superior seedling is found, propagate it. All seedlings are not superior, and an orchard of seedlings is therefore unreliable property. There are many varieties of foreign oranges already introduced into California, several of them already tested. Consumers are becoming acquainted with some of these, a demand being created for them, and producers are receiving a more than remunerative price. At the same time, the inferior orange hardly pays expenses of picking and marketing. I believe it is now generally conceded that orange is its own best stock. China lemon root probably produces quicker returns and more growth of bud in a given time, the tree in after years being less satisfactory, offering less resistance to wind, and being more susceptible to frost; the fruit said by many to be larger, but thicker rind, coarser in texture and flavor. The same applies to the lime, but perhaps to a less extent. Some may deny this, but I think most orchardists will concur in it. The orange on its own root grows less rapidly, is longer in maturing a given size and amount of fruit; the fruit is more even in size, thinner skinned, finer texture and flavor. Orchardists differ very materially concerning the cultivation and care of the orange. Very different systems are pursued, not only in different countries, but by intelligent, observing ones in the same locality.

HARTFORD, June 13th. —The Chinese Government has established, as a branch of its Educational Commission, a school of telegraphy. Gorham B. Hubbell, who has for a long time been Manager of the Western Union, has been appointed to instruct forty young Chinamen, now at school here, in the construction and operation of telegraph lines, and will in a year receive a Incrative appointment under the Chinese Government, which contemplates connecting all its large cities by lines of wire. SALT LAKE, June 11. —Learning that Clerk Adams, disregarding Governor Murray's certificate, had placed George Q. Cannon on the roll of members of the House of Representatives, Campbell has brought suit in the Third District Court here to establish that Cannon is not a citizen; that he was incapable of becoming one at the time he claims to have been naturalized; and to annul and declare void the certificate of naturalization on which he depends. The first case of a typographical error yet discovered in the Revised New Testament is in the "Seaside Library" reprint. This error occurs in Matthew xi.. 24, where it says: "They laughed him to corn," but whether this will designate the edition as the "Corn Testament," just as misprints in former Testaments have led to their being called "The Vinegar Bible," etc., it is so yet impossible to say. INDIANAPOLIS, June 13th. —The revival inaugurated under the auspices of the boy preacher evangelist, Rev. Thomas Harris, eleven weeks ago, has been spreading until some 2,000 conversions have resulted, and several thousand more have risen for prayer or beam at the altar. It is believed that the work is only begun. Sixteen churches are now open for revival work. OUR SPRING & SUMMER STOCK HAS ARRIVED!

FIRST-CLASS GROCERIES ALWAYS ON HAND. Hippolyte Cahen, Center St., Anaheim. There are many ways of conducting a grocery store; but to be successful in these days of close competition and with an exacting and discriminating public, certain essential points are required which few possess. The great success of my AMERICAN CASH STORE, 48 & 50 Spring St., Los Angeles, Cal., Is due to the fact that it commands in an eminent degree every advantage necessary to make it the leading grocery store on the southern coast. The heavy business I am doing enables me to keep my stock always fresh and clean. I buy my goods only for CASH, from FIRST HANDS, And in a WHOLESALE WAY. I am enabled to do so by having my house in San Francisco to do my buying and to there dispose of any surplus stock over and above the requirements of the Los Angeles store. To further facilitate and insure the safe handling of wholesale quantities of merchandise, I have just opened ANOTHER STORE in STOCKTON, And am now in position to buy largely enough to insure the lowest cost on every article bought. Those dealing with me will share these advantages, in being SERVED PROMPTLY —WITH— FIRST-CLASS GOODS, —AND AT— And am now in position to buy largely enough to insure the lowest cost on every article bought. Those dealing with me will share these advantages, in being SERVED PROMPTLY —WITH— FIRST-CLASS GOODS, AND AT— LOWER PRICES! Than they can buy for elsewhere. It is of course quite in the range of possibilities that some one of our neighbors on whose toes I may happen to tread, will "get up his back" and try to sell at my prices; but as he can do so only at a loss to himself, whilst I am making a small profit, such "spurts" are of a short duration, and in fact at no time do they cover the whole ground, since such reductions are always confined to a few staples, merely to catch the eye. Since the prices of the AMERICAN CASH STORE have justly become THE STANDARD By which those of other concerns are measured, it is evident that it must be to the interest of the consumer to at once GO TO HEADQUARTERS, And not uselessly risk having to pay more for his goods than they are worth.
