WEEKLY GAZETTE County Official Paper. SATURDAY... JUNE 25, 1881 "Except in the mere accident of birth, I should like to know what claims America has to the recent victories of Iroquois and Foxhall." Such is the language of a correspondent referring to the racing events in England and France. He objects to Americans claiming all the glory, for both horses are from English stock, trained by English trainers, steered to victory by English jockeys and backed by English money. Gen. Grant is not only becoming garrulous, but he is getting abusive. In an interview with a newspaper reporter, criticising Jeff Davis's book, he spoke of the author as a "notorious coward." In a later interview, he referred to Gen. Thomas L. Young, Member of Congress from Ohio, as "a liar." Gen. Young publishes an open letter in reply, exceedingly temperate in tone, and completely vindicating himself. The ex-President appears to be "soured" by disappointment. For the benefit of many readers who must have forgotten what the row in Albany is about, the Denver "Tribune" gives the following complete history: (1) Garfield appoints Robertson. (2) Conkling objects. (3) Garfield doesn't seem to mind it. (4) Conkling objects more. (5) Garfield continues to stick. (6) Conkling makes a fight in the Senate. (7) He is whipped and resigns. (8) Robertson is unanimously confirmed. (9) The vineyards of the future will be located in Southern California. We base our belief on the fact that during the half century of vine cultivation in Los Angeles county not a single destructive insect has been developed in the vineyard. The opposite is the case in the northern counties, although the noxious insects have been combatted by men of intelligence and wealth, they keep steadily increasing. Phylloxera, the enemy which has devastated the vineyards of France, is rife in several Northern counties of this State, and is rapidly spreading. A correspondent writes as follows from Rutherford, Napa County: "The viniculturists of this locality have been much agitated over the discovery of the presence of phylloxera in their midst. Mr. Morse, of Oakland, who was appointed by the State Vinicultural Commission to examine the vineyards of this district for the presence of the insect, was among the vineyards yesterday. He detected a tract of about 170 vines in Judge Hastings' Madrona Villa vineyard, which showed signs of disease by their pale green leaves, and upon examination of the roots with a glass, insect eggs were plainly seen and pronounced phylloxera. No matured insects were found. Mr. Robinson, who has charge of the vineyard, noticed the unhealthy condition of these vines three years ago, and it had been growing more marked each year. The vines infected are of the Berger and Malvoise varieties, and are from 10 to 12 years old." In the face of such facts as these, it is natural that people who want to plant vineyards should select a location where there is a guarantee that the dreaded phylloxera will never make its appearance. The sandy soil gathered the pleas is again favored grapes on the vine press safely in crop of grapes in growers but part interest of the fruit inasmuch as only of wine shall we rear what is of tured stock wine cellars to become without the cone years to begin w to speak more to for in wine man cultivated taste, fornia, now the low and unremarkable make a poor show represent quality be after a certain.

(8) Robertson is unanimously confirmed. (9) Conkling goes to Albany to receive a re-election. (10) He is whipped again: for, 33; against, 73. The decision of the Supreme Court in the Los Angeles city water case is published in full on the first page of to-day's paper. Taking this decision with one rendered a few months ago, it is plain to be seen that the present Supreme Court holds to the doctrine of prior appropriation and user. Their opinion in regard to riparian rights will soon be known, as a suit of great magnitude, involving the whole question of riparian ownership, is now on trial in Kern county, and will be submitted to the Supreme Court in due time. The true solution of the problem, how to get rid of the cowboys who infest Arizona and New Mexico, has been discovered by a Sacramento paper. It says: "When, in the West Indies, the sugar cane is being cut, it is the practice to leave a patch of cane in the middle of the field." The reason is that as the cutting proceeds all the venomous reptiles that inhabit the cane retire before the hands until they reach the center. Thus there is a little patch which at last becomes full of them, and that patch is set on fire and burned. Now the cowboys are the venomous creatures which have been driven from both sides towards this patch of country by the advance of civilization, and when their habitat is reached it is naturally found to be very disagreeable. They will have to make way for settlement and honest industry, however, even if the last man among them dies in his boots." The great and almost irresistible influence of the railroad monopoly was never so strikingly exemplified as in the case of Mr. French, Auditor of noticed the unhealthy condition of these vines three years ago, and it had been growing more marked each year. The vines infected are of the Berger and Malvoise varieties, and are from 10 to 12 years old." In the face of such facts as these, it is natural that people who want to plant vineyards should select a locality where there is a guarantee that the dreaded phylloxera will never make its appearance. The sandy soil of this county is not only the best for vines, but it is a safeguard against phylloxera, which has never yet been found in such kind of soil. Again, irrigation is a preventive—the phylloxera cannot get a "foothold" where the vineyards are flooded two or three times annually. Anaheim will yet be the center of the greatest grape-producing region in the world. On the 25th of August the Mission of San Luis Rey will have been in existence one hundred years. It having been announced that the event would be celebrated by a four days' enjoyment of such sports as horse racing, bull and bear fighting, etc., the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which has its headquarters in San Diego, has given notice that the bull and bear fighting part of the programme must be omitted. The section of the code which applies to such exhibitions is: Sec. 8. Any person who shall cause any bull, bear, cock, dog, or other animal to fight, for his amusement or for gain, to worry, or injure each other; or any person who shall permit the same to be done on any premises under his charge or control; and any person who shall aid, abet, or be present at such fighting and worrying of such animal, as a spectator, shall upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor. The town of Tombstone was almost destroyed by fire on Wednesday. The loss is estimated at half a million dollars, and from three hundred to five hundred people were made homeless. Whether the fire is a calamity or a blessing is a question on which could be founded an interesting disputation. According to a recent The great and almost irresistible influence of the railroad monopoly was never so strikingly exemplified as in the case of Mr. French, Auditor of railroad accounts, who came to this coast a month or so ago to examine the books of the Central Pacific. His coming was preceded by long statements of the great things he was going to do and of the amount of money he would make the railroad company pay into the National Treasury on account of the Sinking Fund. He remained on this coast but a few short weeks, and the result of his labors is embodied in a letter—not to the Government officials, but to Stanford! He writes an abject letter to the President of the company whose affairs he was sent to investigate. In this letter he gives away his entire case and says in effect that the Government has no cause of action. If there is anything more remarkable than the letter itself, it is the fact that, up to the present time, he has made no official report to his superior officers. The President and Cabinet are said to be indignant and angry at French's conduct, and his removal has been decided upon. Gen. Jeremiah Rusk, of Wisconsin, it is said, will succeed him. It would seem as if it were an easier task to touch pitch and not be defiled than for a National, State, County or Municipal official to have aught to do with the railroad corporations and not "fall down." OUR WINES. A Tribute to Anaheim Port. - The Newcomer for Improving Each Vintage. EDITOR GAZETTE: — From your columns I gathered the pleasant news that your district is again favored with plentiful bunches of grapes on the vines. May they reach the press safely in their abundance. A rich crop of grapes is a blessing not only to the growers but particularly so in behalf of the interest of the future of the wine industry; inasmuch as only through a superabundance of wine shall we be able to keep over and rear what is of high grade. Without matured stock wines, what are the California cellars to become? The name of the produce without the condition of age, if only of a few years to begin with, cannot be kept up or, to speak more to the point, established—; for in wine markets, among customers of cultivated taste, the young liquids of California, now the article of trade, at ever so low and unremunerative prices, can only make a poor show, and do not even fairly represent qualities as they ought to and will be after a certain stage of development. There is no disguising this fact, and withal rendering justice to the efforts and success in rendering qualities of musts of each vintage superior to the preceding one. The supreme need exists of keeping and breeding intelligently what appears to be worth being developed. Self-satisfaction should be avoided and each one interested in the viticultural industry should be attentive to correct and improve. It was a laudable step taken by your people to organize a viticultural association; it was a necessary step and will yield fine results. My belief is firm that there are in the southern portion of the State (not exactly in the sandy soil of your near neighborhood, but not very distant) positions and grounds that, planted with the right kind of vines, will yield analogous to high-class southern European wines. To ascertain this, amongst other matters in aid of improvements, you have now an association that at some future day will be able when "caterpillars, sack and all" can be destroyed by fire. The rose scale was treated of, and then the friends of the fruit grower, of which he said there were several. Mr. Cook exhibited some of the above-mentioned pests in vials, and said that if anyone wished to witness the transformation of the cooling moth they could do so perfectly well through the glass of a vial; but be careful to keep the vial upside down, as insect will bore its way out through a cork in a single night, while if the bottle is the other side up it rises and cannot perforate the glass. Of the friends, there are the common ladybugs, or lady-birds (coccinella), the chrisopa, which in Florida, together with the ladybugs, are so greatly beneficial to the orange growers that, were it not for them, there would be very few oranges raised. The black ant is another friend. To this list I will add a very handsome red and black bug, about the size of the common tree hopper, that everyone who has eaten blackberries will remember with delight (?). "Time and tide" forbid my giving anything but a mere idea of the interesting thoughts presented. The first of the month there were some quite wet showers, which—each one—left us with just a touch of frost. The great and huge schools all have closed with a blaze of glory. The middle and wee tiny ones are following with lunar and starry halos; and now "we're off, we are gone" over bank, stream and field to the mountains, where one may get a good, full breath and catch beetles to the heart's content. JENNIE R. BUSH ORANGE ITEMS. Miss Lang of Lang's Station is visiting friends in Orange. Mr. Riley and family left for Hoosierdom on the 23d. They will return in the fall. The jack rabbits are growing fat on the new vineyards on the outskirts of the settlement. They should all be fenced. Take a look at the vines set out this spring by McPherson Bros. For starting a vineyard their modus operandi is successful. Mr. Weber and Mr. Chas. Harris sold out their home places last week at a good figure. The time is coming when the owners of orange orchards "dasn't" even think of set- Regarding Port wines, (and in this respect I am enabled only to judge of and by those that in B. Dreyfus & Co.'s cellars come into my care,) my opinion is that the 1880 vintage, rightly made, in your county and the neighboring ones, is a success; and the wines are of the kind to go into market by 1884 or so, when they will be recognized by Oporto and London shippers and consigueses as worthy rivals of at least middle grades of the matured Duoro wines. Just a few rackings in the course of breeding will insure a development of 1880 Ports, which now possess conditions of equipoised sweetness, etherial, vinous, alcoholic and extractive combination and corresponding taste, that cannot but contribute to the good name of your southern counties as producers of good quality of Port-character wines. My judgment in this matter is based upon what I have observed in Anaheim and Cucamonga Ports of the vintages from 1874, in stock in the Eagle Vaults, and their aspect will persuade anyone that this kind of wine is precious. The least good vintage, (in fact, a non-success altogether,) was that of 1879; but there is a precedent that after the wine has passed a few years, consumed its excitor and become quieted, although its color may have settled with other extractives against the walls of the casks, it will be useful in blends. In your reprint (June 4th) of a New York Tribune article on California wine, it is stated that French shipping Clarets, after having been adulterated skilfully elsewhere, are "drowned in a quantity of California wine and sent to this country as genuine Bordeaux." There may be truth in the blending of appropriate foreign wines with Gironde wines, notably a fortifying process of the latter by adding strong Southern European red wines; there may be going on any amount of stretching in order to fill orders for cheap Claret in Bordeaux, but the absurdity of the assertion that California wine is used there for that purpose is too apparent to make people swallow it. The Tribune writer had better first ascertain how many, if even one hundred packages, of California wine have entered the port of Bordeaux in the last twelve months. That market is as yet in limbo for us. F. POHNDORFF. Mr. Riley and family left for Hoosierdom on the 23d. They will return in the fall.

The former will carry on business at the old stand while Rufe will stick to his present job on the R.R. at $250 a day. The Temperance lecture delivered on last Sunday evening by Rev. Mr. Tarr of Santa Ana was well attended and listened to by all with rapt attention. In concluding, the lecturer presented some pictures showing the effect of alcohol upon the stomach and the family circle.

Interesting Synopsis of Commissioner Cook's Lecture. SAN JOSÉ, Cal., June 20, 1881. EDITOR GAZETTE:—The Viticultural Society held a special meeting on the 18th inst., the occasion being the visit of State Commissioner Cook, who made a very able, interesting and instructive address. He stated that he had perfect confidence in the ultimate destruction of the scale pest with thoroughness, patience and promptness as concomitants. He also earnestly urged the use of alkali washes rather than kerosene or coal oil, as the coal oil kills the trees as well as the scale if applied at the wrong time. The alkali wash he recommended was composed of whale oil, potash (of commerce) and sulphur; or oil, ammonia and borax. He spoke of the red spider, which is harder to kill, and recommended 1 lb of potash to 1 gallon of water. He had found a different scale in Santa Cruz county, what he called a red scale in Los Angeles county, and an entirely new grape pest in Santa Barbara county which resembled a bit of white cotton on very white spider’s web, upon the grape leaf, but which was in reality a cocoon filled with hundreds of eggs which develop into an insect that entirely destroys the leaves. The codling moth must be treated with strips of greased cloth bound tightly around the tree, the insect being unable to creep over this barrier in its ascent to attack the fruit; or snakes stretched about, the caterpillar then forming their cocons underneath the snake. A store in Centerville, Shasta Co., was blown to atoms on Monday by a bomb made of giant powder. The proprietor, Dr. Conkling, was seriously injured. Alexander Goyette, of Virginia City, Nevada, shot and killed one man, wounding two others and fatally injured himself while laboring under the effects of a debauch. A terrible accident occurred last Tuesday at the ranch of J. W. Carpenter, nine miles south of Yuba City, resulting in the death of a laughter, aged about two years, who fell into a vessel of boiling water. At Santa Cruz on Tuesday a boy named Charles B. Smith, aged 16 years, son of Captain J. W. Smith, who formerly was wharfinger for the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, committed suicide by taking twelve grains of strychnine. A Virginia dispatch says that Daniel Kellaher, Deputy County Clerk, was stabbed and killed on the street by Dennis Hennessy, a curbstone broker. The cause is not fully understood, but it is believed to have been political. The experiments being made by some of our citizens in silk culture are producing results. Mr. Battleheim has in five weeks’ time raised several pounds of cocoons, which he has sent to the Woman’s Silk Culture Association, San Francisco. W. W. Smith and Mr. Sellers have mulberry groves in a flourishing condition. Our climate is seemingly well adapted to their growth. Raising cocoons is a work that many of our young people might engage in not only as a pastime but as a work of real profit, as the production always finds a ready taker—Detected Ledger.

STRAW HATS AND PARAOLS, And one thousand and one articles too long to enumerate. 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, 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— 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.
