The Weather and the Crops—The Late Senator Baker—An Interesting Collection. SAN JOSE, March 26th, 1882. EDITOR GAZETTE.—The vivacity of the weather has been fully sustained since your correspondent's last communication—thanks to the remarkable philanthropy of the Herald in hanging out its weather gauge. This brilliant evolution from the profundity of science was promptly followed by sharp and prolonged thunder storms, hail, a slight earthquake shock, and a heavy rainfall that makes up the total for the season a fraction over eleven inches. The tornado that visited San Mateo during the storm, moving a greenhouse a couple of feet from its foundation, and unroofing the Episcopal Church, was represented here by a not unusually hard blow, due, no doubt, to the discriminating powers of the weather gauge above mentioned. Now, how "things" grow! As the weather has cleared up delightfully mild, although Mt. Hamilton is as white as probably is your Cucamonga at this time, and suspicions of snow lurk in the canyons of the lower hills, west. Sadness has fallen upon the community from the unexpected death of the gifted young Senator, whose home was in San Jose. Although an invalid for several weeks, he had been pronounced out of danger by attending physicians and had gone to San Francisco, whence, it was hoped, he would soon return to his duties with established health. The will of Senator Baker, as published, expresses in the thought and care for the loved ones he left, the same EASTER FAVORS. The object of the present article is not to tell about the origin of the custom of decorating eggs for Easter, but how to accomplish some new and lovely results, and how, by a comparatively small outlay of money, and a somewhat greater expenditure of time and patience, unique and exquisite little favors can be made. Eggs decorated in any of the following ways are pretty and artistic enough successfully to compete with Easter cards, and are quite as appropriate, in many cases, to send as tokens to friends. In the first decorations described, the shell is left whole; the egg should be first boiled hard, or an opening made in the small end, the contents removed, and the shell filled up with plaster of Paris. The last method is much to be preferred, for when boiled the shell is liable to crack; and even if it does not when boiling, there is a vacancy left in one end of the shell which makes it easily broken, but when filled with plaster it stands any handling. The plaster is mixed with water until so thin that it runs easily; it requires but a few minutes to harden. When it has set, mix some a little thicker, color it the exact shade of the shell by adding a trifle of oil paint, and apply it with a palette knife, rounding and smoothing it carefully until the shell does not show where it was broken. If the egg is not to remain white, or is to be decorated in such a way that the broken place will be covered by some part of the design the plaster need not be colored. The egg is now ready to be ornamented in any way that suits the taste of the artist, or that would have any particular cover by the wax; remove the wax, and delicate carving remains. The egg inside can be painted any design, working carefully through the openings of the outer shell. Or, before putting into the acid, the contents can be removed, working as before through the openings in the shell, a design drawn on it in wax, and the shell eaten away by the acid at the same time as the outer shell; but this is more difficult to do, and the effect of the other is as good. It requires careful work, but the result fully pays for the time and patience given. Dainty little bonbon-holders can be made out of egg shells. Remove the contents through a hole in the small end, draw a line of wax evenly around the shell three-fourths of the distance from the large end, and hold the small end as far as the wax in hydrochloric acid until the shell is eaten off; it is impossible to make a smooth edge by cutting with scissors. The shells are now ready to color by boiling them in various colored dyes. An ounce of logwood to three pints of water gives a purple dye. The shades can be varied from lilac to nearly black by letting the shells remain a longer or shorter time in the dye. A good green results from boiling in a solution of verdigris in vinegar. Blue, by making the water very dark with indigo, and adding a teaspoonful of oxalic acid. The only way to get a satisfactory scarlet is to use paint. Crimson may be made by adding vinegar to the logwood dye. Cochineal gives a lovely pink. Skins of the red onion boiled with the shells give shades from yellow to brown, with better results than any other dye for those colors. Very few dyes will color eggs satisfactorily. After the shells are dyed, they can be decorated in various ways: a wreath of flow- probably is your Cucamonga at this time, and suspicions of snow lurk in the canyons of the lower hills, west. Sadness has fallen upon the community from the unexpected death of the gifted young Senator, whose home was in San Jose. Although an invalid for several weeks, he had been pronounced out of danger by attending physicians and had gone to San Francisco, whence it was hoped, he would soon return to his duties with established health. The will of Senator Baker, as published, expresses in the thought and care for the loved ones he left, the same lofty, chivalric spirit which characterized his career throughout. The funeral ceremonies, under the auspices (by his own request) of the societies of which he was a member, were imposing—one of the largest funeral gatherings ever seen in San Jose meeting to pay the last sad tributes to one who was taken from their midst in the prime of life and with promise of a brilliant future. To lovers of Natural History, a great treat has been offered in San Francisco, in the Hall of the Mercantile Library, by the collection by Prof. Henry Ward of Rochester, N.Y. The first thing meeting the eye, upon entering the room, is, of course, the Siberian Mammoth, with skeletons of huge vertebrates grouped around, which seem puny by contrast with the animal mountain in their midst—the size of the elephant of today appearing really insignificant. Upon a raised platform at the farther end of the hall, is arranged the skeleton of the Megatherium, the sloth of ancient geological times, whose huge bulk, and twenty feet in length, enabled him to pull down by mere weight large trees, that he might feed upon their tender branches. A cast of the Pleiosaurus (small individuals of them were twenty feet long) is over the entrance door. A Beleminte, or "thunder bolt," some thirty feet in stature, graces one side, the other being creditably flanked by Ammonites a couple of feet across, very respectable, coiled-up representatives of the shelly tribe indeed. There were smaller and smaller ones, of every ferm and from every part of the world which has yielded to the inquiry of the geologist its long and well kept secrets. Shells as perfect as though their inhabitant had but yesterday left them, instead of geological ages ago; bones of great and small animals; in many instances the perfect skeletons were preserved, or perhaps the body itself had left its impress upon the rock, as a print might be made in a sand drift, or soft clay bed, to tell the scientist of to-day of what different fashion-were they of long ago. Space and time will not permit more than the mere mention of a small part of the collection, of which a very interesting feature were the casts of skulls from Neanderthal Man to the present generation of all the greater man-like vertebrater that inhabit the world; as well as the busts of Neanderthal man, comparing the small intellectual development, and great brute strength of muscle, with Cuvier, St. Hiliare, with water until so thin that it runs easily; it requires but a few minutes to harden. When it has set, mix some a little thicker, color it the exact shade of the shell by adding a trifle of oil paint, and apply it with a palette knife, rounding and smoothing it carefully until the shell does not show where it was broken. If the egg is not to remain white, or is to be decorated in such a way that the broken place will be covered by some part of the design the plaster need not be colored. The egg is now ready to be ornamented in any way that suits the taste of the artist, or that would have any particular significance between the donor and recipient. On a white egg a wreath of blue violets, forget-me-nots, or crocuses around the smallest diameter, or an inch-wide band of blue with white lilies around it, is dainty and pretty. A suitable quotation should be put on each with gold paint or colors, or both. Violets or small flowers can be powdered over the egg. To make the eggs of different shades, rub on them with a dauber made of soft rag the desired color of oil paint. When dark shades are desired, the eggs should be dyed, but for delicate tints of rose, blue, gray, and green, the oil paints should be used. Dye does not work well on shells filled with plaster, but for hard-boiled eggs the directions for dyeing shells, given further on, can be used. On tinted eggs white flowers with lines and quotations in darker shades and gold are effective. To make variety, when filling in the plaster, before the shell is half full, take a third of a yard of very narrow ribbon, double it, and put the looped end in the shell, so that when filled it will be firmly bedded in the plaster. The ends are then tied in a bow, and the egg suspended by the ribbon. To make a charming variation of the more common ways described above, put about a tea-spoonful of the liquid plaster into the shell, then drop in enough shot or bullets to make the egg stand in an upright position, and fill as before; the lead will cause the egg always to assume an upright position. An appropriate design for one of these upright eggs (though it may be used on others) is a leafless branch of a tree, with a chrysalis suspended from it, and a black and yellow butterfly taking flight above the branch. Small landscapes, though not so suitable, give variety. A large goose egg, tinted a pale blue, with the heads of three singing choir boys and a spray of white lilies painted on it, with the quotation, "Christ, the Lord, is risen to day. Alleluia!" done in scarlet and gold, is as exquisite as any Easter card I have ever seen. To make a beautiful trifle, which rivals the carved balls within balls, two sizes of eggs are required—a goose egg as large, and a bantam egg as small, as can be procured. The bantam egg must be immersed in strong vinegar until the shell becomes perfectly soft; the length of time required to accomplish this depends on the strength of the vinegar, but will be several days at least. Remove the contents of the goose egg through a hole made in the side instead of with water until so thin that it runs easily; it requires but a few minutes to harden. When it has set, mix some a little thicker, color it the exact shade of the shell by adding a trifle of oil paint, and apply it with a palette knife, rounding and smoothing it carefully until the shell does not show where it was broken. If the egg is not to remain white, or is to be decorated in such a way that the broken place will be covered by some part of the design the plaster need not be colored.

SouthernPacificExtension. Colonel Geo.E Gray Chief EngineerofThe Southern Pacific Railroad paidSan the body itself had left its impress upon the rock, as a print might be made in a sand drift, or soft clay bed, to tell the scientist of to-day of what different fashion-were they of long ago. Space and time will not permit more than the mere mention of a small part of the collection, of which a very interesting feature were the casts of skulls from Neanderthal Man to the present generation of all the greater man-like vertebrate that inhabit the world; as well as the busts of Neanderthal man, comparing the small intellectual development, and great brute strength of muscle, with Cuvier, St. Hiliare, Buffon and Linnaeus. There was, too, an admirable collection of minerals, many very rare, and imitations of the noted gems of the world. It will not do to forget the reliefs of countries colored to represent the different geological formations and the models of those famous cave dwellings of New Mexico—a good chance to study geography which seemed to be fully appreciated by the crowds of boys who evidently were just from school with wits sharpened for the treat. And you should have seen those great eggs of Dodo of old, or Dinorm's (Australia) of to-day. One of those eggs would make a meal for a good sized family, and some for the "queen to fry next morning." Could hunters go out and bring down an elk that carries such a brave pair of antlers as those represented by the cast of the Great Irish elk, they might well call themselves mighty hunters. But with one last look at the woolly Siberian Mammoth we must go. He is just as large as a mammoth ought to be, his wool is as long. His head is imperially poised to carry his fifteen feet of out-curving tusks (a foot in diameter at the mouth) as it should be. His great feet and limbs firmly supporting the sixteen feet of height and twenty-six feet of length. The fierce eyes and shaggy wool are fit accompaniments and harmonize with the impression that one is gazing upon a veritable Norse king of beasts. One old farmer says that growing wheat makes a cracking sound everytime it forns a new joint, and since the late rains his crop has been making so much noise that it keeps him awake at night. "Christ, the Lord, is risen to day. Alleluia!" done in scarlet and gold, is as exquisite as any Easter card I have ever seen. To make a beautiful trifle, which rivals the carved balls within balls, two sizes of eggs are required—a goose egg as large, and a bantam egg as small, as can be prooured. The bantam egg must be immersed in strong vinegar until the shell becomes perfectly soft; the length of time required to accomplish this depends on the strength of the vinegar, but will be several days at the least. Remove the contents of the goose egg through a hole made in the side instead of the end; choose an arabesque design which must have two large open spaces on the sides of the egg opposite each other. These spaces must be round or oval. If round, the diameter must be less than the shortest diameter of the smaller egg; but it is better to have them oval, with a circumference size of the smallest circumference of the bantam egg. The rest of the design can be fine work, but not too open, or the shell will not be strong enough. Put some white wax around the two oval spaces, and after it has adhered firmly to the shell brush the spaces over with hydrochloric acid until it cuts out the shell. Now take from the vinegar the other egg, the shell of which should be so soft that it can be flattened or extended lengthwise without breaking. Make a tube of writing paper which will just fit around the opening in the shell; tie a knot in the middle of half a dozen fine threads twelve or fourteen inches long, placed in a bunch, letting the knot come on the top of the softened egg. Roll the egg in the tube, and insert it in the opening of the other shell, letting the threads go through the roll and out at the opposite opening; by pulling these and pushing the paper work the egg into the shell. Let it lie in cold water until the egg resumes its former shape and hardness; then boil hard, putting in cold water, and letting it come to a boil gradually to prevent its cracking. After taking from the hot water, and before the outer shell has time to cool, cover the parts of the design which are to remain solid with white wax, give the egg inside a coating also, then immerse for two or three minutes in a bath of hydrochloric acid to eat away the parts of the egg not pretty little baskets are ready to be filled with confectionery. Tiny candy eggs are the most appropriate, but if a goose-egg shell is used, as should be if possible, French novelties can be put in the bottom, and a few eggs covered over the top. After they have been emptied of the candy., they make lovely trifle boxes, and ring or other jewelry holders.—Harper's Bazaar. Southern Pacific Extension. Colonel Geo. E. Gray, Chief Engineer of the Southern Pacific Railroad, paid San Diego a short visit yesterday, arriving and returning on the steamer Orizaba. The Southern Pacific, as our readers are aware, is the successor of the Texas Pacific in ownership of the railroad lands that were deeded to Colonel Thomas A. Scott, through an arrangement made some time since between Mr. Huntington and the Texas Pacific people. The purpose of Col. Gray's visit is said to have been the examination of depot facilities here for the proposed extension of the Company's road from Santa Ana. It is presumed that a running connection with the California Southern will be made somewhere about San Luis Rey. It may be that a union depot will be established here, but as to this we have no positive information.—San Diego Union. Easter day fell on April 9 in 1871. It will not however fall on this day again afterlthe present year till 1944; then again in 1930, 2023, 2034, 2045, &c. In 1886 it will fall on April 25, its latest possible date. This will be the first time it has occurred since the introduction of the new style in 1752. It will then not occur again on April 25 until after an interval of fifty-seven years, or in 1943; and then not again for one hundred and sixty-three years. Little Rock (Ark.), March 25. — At Hillaboro, on Friday night, Mrs. Julia Sweeney was murdered by her husband. She was shot through the breast and her brains were beaten out. The cause was jealousy. The murderer was lodged in jail. GAZETTE. APRIL 1, 1882. NO. 25 A MONSTER OF THE AIR. The Gridley Herald of the 17th is responsible for this item: Thomas Campbell and Joseph Howard, two wood-choppers working in the timber five miles northeast of Harleton, in this county, inform us by letter of a singular creature they saw flying through the air last Friday afternoon. They write: "About 4 o'clock Friday afternoon last, while at work, we were startled by the sound of many wings flapping in the air. Looking up, we perceived passing over our heads, not more than forty feet above the tree tops, a creature that looked something like a crocodile. It was, to the best of our judgment, not less than eighteen feet in length, and would measure two feet across the body from the head to the tail, a distance of probably twelve feet. The tail was about four feet long, and tapered from the body to a point probably eight inches wide. The head was in the neighborhood of two feet in length, and the jaws (for its mouth was open) could not have been less than sixteen inches long. On each side of the body, between the head and tail, were six wings, each projecting between eighteen inches and two feet from the body. As near as we could see, these wings were about fifteen inches broad, and appeared to be formed similar to a duck's foot. On the under part of the body was counted twelve feet, six on a side." Mr. Howard fired one barrel of a shotgun at the monster, and writes: "It uttered a cry similar to that of a calf and bear combined, but gave no sign of being inconvenienced or injured. In fact, when the shot struck, we heard the bullets rattle as though striking against a thick piece of sheet iron. The object was also seen by a number of Chinamen, working WHAT THEY WANT. The Extravagant Demands of Inquiring Immigrants. The demands made upon the officers of the Immigration Association by inquiring immigrants suggest that the belief still exists abroad that California is indeed a land of luxurious homes for the asking; of unoccupied gold mines and of waving fields waiting for the random harvester, and various other advantages. Some confidentially ask to be directed to some rich digging; others prefer a permanent quartz lode, while many would be satisfied with a valley farm not too far away from the railroad, but just far enough. Some are even specific, and actually ask to be informed of the proper way to legally settle on a farm near San Jose or Santa Rosa. Not infrequently indignation is displayed that there are no orange groves near Los Angeles open for pre-emption. All applicants are told that there are no desirable Government lands in any of the older settled counties, and that settlers wanting free land must be willing to go to distant or outlying counties, as they would in Western States. There are millions of acres of free land in the State, and its exact location, character and adaptability is being ascertained as rapidly as possible by the Association's officers. The Government lands of Napa county are generally mountainous, steep and barren, with occasional exceptions. The Government lands of Sonoma county are also mountainous, but not so barren as those of Napa, being frequently covered with timber and well watered. The Government lands in the southern part of Lake county are similar to those of Napa county, the good land having The dye they can be always: a wreath of flowering vines from yellow flowers or stars; the stars look best in a quotation, "Sweets that style, around the wall, as does a spray of milk make little bags, than the shell, and a circumference of the side, and paste the ring, making a few bitter it is dry, draw the through the ring, then bottom, drawing it into the seams and ring that is to go next the edge of silk halt an inch have it long enough and the ring, and glue to go next to the shell, to make it firm, but get on the right side. opposite sides of the be long enough to tie up, or only a long loop dining in place by fitted with mucilage, top of the ring should of the shell, and the vee.

T., last week. Mr. Peel, in company with Mr. Austin, Superintendent, and Mr. Cheynev, was sitting in his office, when the door was suddenly thrown open and two masked men appeared, each armed with a rifle. Each leveled his rifle, one at Mr. Austin and the other at Mr. Peel, and fired almost simultaneously, and Mr. Peel fell, pierced through the heart. Mr. Austin, the instant the assassins leveled their guns, and before they could fire, dropped to the floor, and the leaden messenger of death passed over him, within six inches of his head. Immediately upon the fall of Mr. Peel the tween eighteen inches and two feet from the body. As near as we could see, these wings were about fifteen inches broad, and appeared to be formed similar to a duck's foot. On the under part of the body was counted twelve feet, six on a side." Mr. Howard fired one barrel of a shotgun at the monster, and writes: "It uttered a cry similar to that of a calf and bear combined, but gave no sign of being inconvenienced or injured. In fact, when the shot struck, we heard the bullets rattle as though striking against a thick piece of sheet iron. The object was also seen by a number of Chinamen, working near us, who were badly frightened and fled to their cabins." This is the first time we have ever heard of such a creature as this; but our informants are reliable men, hence we cannot doubt their statements. The gist of the anti-Chinese bill passed by Congress is given in the following paragraph: That from and after the expiration of ninety days after the passage of the act and until the expiration of twenty years after its passage, the coming of Chinese laborers to the United States shall be suspended, and prescribes a penalty of imprisonment not exceeding one year, and a fine of not more than $500 against the master of any vessel who brings any Chinese labor to this country, during that period. It further provides that the classes of Chinese excepted by the treaty from such prohibition, such as merchants, teachers, students, travelers, diplomatic agents, and Chinese laborers who were in the United States on the 17th of November, 1880, shall be required as a condition for their admission to produce passports from the Government of China personally identifying them and showing that they individually belong to one of the permitted classes, which passports must have been endorsed by the diplomatic representative of the United States in China, or by the United States Consul at the port of departure. It also provides elaborate machinery for carrying out the purposes of the act. Additional sections prohibit the admission of Chinese to citizenship by any United States or State court, and construes the words "Chinese laborers" to mean both skilled and unskilled laborers and Chinese employed in mining. A writer in the Louisville Courier-Journal gives some of the current superstitions of Kentucky negroes. If a person passes through a funeral procession he will die before the oldest one in it. If a dog lies on its back and howls it presages an early death in the family. If the longest snake killed in a day's search be suspended from the tree nearest to a parched field it will bring rain. If it be necessary to turn back after starting on an errand, the consequent bad luck may be averted by making a cross in the path with the left forefinger. A stutterer may be cured by creeping up behind him unawares and knocking him down with a raw beef tongue just taken from the beast by an unmarried butcher under 21. A bloody knife, a bottle of alcohol, and a bag of live lizards are an effective outfit for bewitching an enemy; but the intended victim is often warned of the danger by an owl's screech close to his cabin. The recipient of a poisonous snake's bite drinks a pint of whiskey, and then, if sober enough, kills the first black chicken with white tail feathers he can find, picks the feathers out, and burns them. New York, March 22.-Several miles of Elison's electric railway at Menlo Park are now completed, and a few days ago the pupils of Professor Sloan's school, at Bergen Point, N.J., about thirty in number, were carried over the road by electricity at the rate of over twenty miles per hour. Edison's track is like that of an ordinary railroad, in-ties as they would in Western States. There are millions of acres of free land in the State, and its exact location, character and adaptability is being ascertained as rapidly as possible by the Association's officers. The Government lands of Napa county are generally mountainous, steep and barren, with occasional exceptions. The Government lands in the southern part of Lake county are similar to those of Napa county, the good land having been selected many years ago. In the extreme northern part of the county land is reported as mountainous, nearly every section being well watered, with plenty of timber, but not rocky and steep, like the southern part. About one-half of the land, or 800,000 acres, in Mendocino county belongs to the Government. So far as they have been examined, the Government lands in this county are found to be similar to the northern or favorable part of Lake county. The heavy red wood forest extends near the coast line, along the entire length of the county. Much good agricultural lands are reported, although stock men have large tracts fenced in, and discourage immigration. In San Luis Obispo county there are 700,000 acres of Government land, much of it suitable for settlement, and, in cases, for colony purposes.-S. F. Call.

The cause was ever was lodged in jail. The Immigration Association of San Francisco has recently been furnishing information concerning the resources of the State to an agent of a number of prospective California colonists in Germany. He states that there are at present about fifty who have signified their intention to come to California. Most of them are from Bavaria and the Duchy of Baden. The association has received letters from other parts of Europe from those desirous of coming to this State. It is also stated that a tide of immigration is coming from the North. Numerous letters have been received from Oregon colonists who are tired of that State, and intend to move with their families as soon as possible to California. The telegraph work of England has now been very largely confided to women, and it is calculated that there cannot be less than 700 employed at the Central Office. The staff of the Telegraph Clearing-house Check Branch, which supervises the whole telegraphic work of the Kingdom and acts as a check upon all the clerks in the department, is exclusively composed of women, to whom is also intrusted the entire financial business. Certain branches of the Savings Bank Department are also in their hands, as well as the Dead Letter Office. The number who apply whenever a vacancy occurs is enormous. None of the more important offices have yet been filled by women, who it is thought, are better officered by thoroughly competent men. New York, March 22. Several miles of Edison's electric railway at Meulo Park are now completed, and a few days ago the pupils of Professor Sloan's school, at Bergen Point, N.J., about thirty in number, were carried over the road by electricity as the rate of over twenty miles per hour. Edison's track is like that of an ordinary railroad, involving curves and grades, one being over thirty feet to the mile, with the various obstacles of ravines, streams and rocks. The car resembles our modern horse-car. The electricity is communicated from wires, one connecting with each track. The tracks are insulated by covering the ends of the ties with a non-conductive compound. The wheels take up electricity from the tracks and communicate with a dynamo-electric machine-gearing in the locomotive. Thus is given to the train a noiseless, rapid, pleasant motion, unattended with smoke, cinders and clatter. Judging from the following call published in the San Diego papers, the sanitary condition of that city must be bad: "In view of the alarming sanitary condition of the town, the ladies of San Diego are urgently requested to meet at Horton Hall on Friday at 3 p.m., to discuss the best means of saving our children from the scourges of diphtheria and scarlet fever. Clergymen, physicians, lawyers and editors, and all friends of humanity, are cordially urged to be present and assist us." Dedham (Mass.), March 25. To-night John Sullivan, an operative in one of the mills, went home slightly under the influence of liquor, and, after a few words with his wife, seized a razor and out her throat, severing the jugular vein and carolid artery. Sullivan was arrested. Henry W. Longfellow, the poet, died at Boston on Friday of last week.
