THE WATER DECISION. There has been such a demand for copies of the Gazette containing the decision of Judge McNealey in the celebrated water case that the extra edition is all gone, and we are compelled to republish it to-day. It has come to our knowledge also that some curious misconstructions have been placed upon the decision, and we advise interested persons to read it carefully before criticising it. The decision grants to Anaheim everything they asked for in their complaint, and ought to infuse confidence into our people and inspire them with courage to develop the resources of our neighborhood. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. The Anaheim Water Company et al. The Semi-Tropic Water Co. et al. This cause came on regularly for trial, the parties appearing by their respective counsel. A trial by jury having been duly and expressly waived by the counsel for the respective parties the cause was tried before the Court sitting without a jury, whereupon witnesses were sworn and examined and documentary evidence was introduced on the part and behalf of the plaintiffs and of the defendants, and the evidence being closed, the cause was submitted to the Court for consideration and decision; and after due deliberation thereon the Court delivers its findings and decision in writing, which is filed and orders that judgment be entered in accordance therewith. Wherefore, by reason of the law and find- A DEAF MUTE'S EDUCATION. A lecture on this subject was delivered at Berkeley last week by Prof. Wilkinson, Principal of the State Institution for the Deaf; Dumb and Blind. He said: The language of the early periods of the history of the earth was at the best imperfect, and pantomime was of necessity one of the principal forms of communication. Pantomime has been the universal language of the ancient tribes and nations, and the savage and civilized, by this means, could express their thoughts to one another. This is to a great extent the language of the deaf and dumb, and by this means thoughts can not only be expressed among themselves, but to the outside world, to those to whom speech and hearing is given. A number of the pupils of the Institution visited a delegation of Warm Spring Indians, not long since, and were able to communicate with them, without any apparent restraint. To illustrate this method of communication, Mr. Wilkinson called on a former pupil of the Institution, who was in the audience, Mr. D'Strella, who went to the platform and gave a most perfect and entertaining representation of a blacksmith shoeing a refractory horse. The spectators had no difficulty in defining the different motions, and the performance was loudly applauded. Perhaps you have not stopped to consider the full meaning of the term deaf mutes. It has been said there is no loneliness like that of a soul in a great city. Think what must be the loneliness of a soul doomed to dwell in eternal silence. I have often wondered why Herbert Spencer and others of his them are deaf and dumb from birth, or cannot genital mutes; some, however, lost their hearing when three or four years old. The scholars read sentences put on the blackboard, and repeated them in a loud and coarse strained voice, and a labored and mechanic manner, but the words spoken were perfectly plain and intelligible. The speaking of course done with great difficulty. The pupils have only been in training about months, and the success of this branch of their education seems already manifest. While they were speaking some of the pupils were called upon to write upon a blackboard upon any subject suggested, order to show what mutes can do in written composition. A REMINISCENCE OF BYROLLING In Florence, we resided at a large boarding establishment, kept by a Mme. du Plain in a house which had formerly been Mrs. Stael's, in the Via Scala. There were some thirty boarders in this house, and he remained two years, occupied with studies. During a part of this time she Shelley, his wife and infant, were inmate at the same house, and we soon made their acquaintance. They were very kind to us, Shelley proposed to mamma that if she would accompany them to Pisa, where Lord Byron was resident, he would himself undertake William's education, but mamma declining saying she was fearful her husband would be displeased if she allowed an intimacy tween her family and Lord Byron's. Deed, she was half afraid he would not pressly waived by the counsel for the respective parties the cause was tried before the Court sitting without a jury, whereupon witnesses were sworn and examined and documentary evidence was introduced on the part and behalf of the plaintiffs and of the defendants, and the evidence being closed. The cause was submitted to the Court for consideration and decision; and after due deliberation thereon the Court delivers its findings and decision in writing, which is filed and orders that judgment be entered in accordance therewith. Wherefore, by reason of the law and findings aforesaid, it is ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the plaintiffs herein, to-wit: the Anaheim Water Company, a corporation, Robert W. Scott, A.

And it is ordered, adjudged and decreed, that plaintiffs right and title to said water right and privilege be and the same hereby is forever quieted accordingly. And it is further ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the said plaintiffs are entitled to an injunction forever prohibiting and restraining the said defendants, the Semi-Tropic Water Company, their and each of their attorneys, agents, servants and employees from in any way or manner interfering with plaintiffs' said right and title to divert from the said Santa Ana river and to appropriate use and consume of the waters of said stream enough thereof to keep the said Anaheim Water Company's water ditch flowing full at all times and seasons of the year to its utmost capacity of six feet wide at the bottom, eight feet wide at the top and two feet deep, and it is ordered that a writ of injunction do issue out of and under the seat of this court accordingly. And it is further ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the plaintiffs do have and recover of, and from the defendants their costs and disbursements of this action taxed at [$1,286 95] and that execution issue therefor.

I hereby certify the foregoing to be a full, some thirty boarders in this house, and he we remained two years occupied with studies. During a part of this time the Shelley, his wife and infant, were inmate in the same house, and we soon made their quaintance. They were very kind to us, Shelley proposed to mamma that if she would accompany them to Pisa, where Lord Byron was resident, he would himself undertake William's education, but mamma declining saying she was fearful her husband would be displeased if she allowed an intimacy tween her family and Lord Byron's deed, she was half afraid he would not prove of our friendship with Shelley and wife.) During my leisure hours I wished ways in the Shelleys' apartments. The would place his infant in my lap and bids amuse myself with a live doll, while he attained his writing. Both Shelley and wife were delightful, and when they were some months after, we were very sorry. Day Shelley told me Lord Byron was coming next day to visit him. In vain I implanted mamma to let me be with them when great poet came, but she would not hear it. I told Shelley this with tears in eyes, and he said: "Well, little woman mamma won't let you be in the same room with the ogre, if you are very anxious to him look through the keyhole, and I place him so that you shall have a full view of him." So next day Willie and I went on tiptoe to Shelley's door and peek through the keyhole. We were so fascinated alternately watching the great poet that remained there some time. At last Byron began to fidget, and said: "I say, Shelley I don't know how it is, but I feel as if she one was watching me." Shelley smiled pointing to the door told him what we were doing, and who we were, and also that mma would not allow us to make his acquaintance. "I had no idea," said the poet bore such a very bad name. I should very glad to know the young people their mother too, if she will permit it." then got up and came towards the door; we fleed down the passage, while he Shelley stood laughing. That was her last I saw of Byron.-All the Year Rooms. THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME.

The Presbytery of Los Angeles at its recent meeting in San Diego appointed a committee of seven to have in charge the educational interests of the Presbytery. The committee is composed of three ministers and four laymen, as follows: Rev. John W. Ellis, Los Angeles; Rev. D. V. Dodge, D.D., San Diego; Rev. J. D. Seward, Buenaventura; Elders, Judge E. B. Hall, Santa Barbara; W. T. Clapp, Pasadena; O. T. Johnson, Riverside, and E. A. Saxton, Anaheim. It was also resolved that a committee of seven be appointed to take into consideration the founding of a female seminary of learning to be located somewhere within the bounds of Los Angeles Presbytery. The following were appointed: Reva J. W. Ellis, R. V. Dodge and F. D. Seward, and Elders Saxton, Clapp, Hall and Johnson. Erie (Pa.), April 29.—While dissipating here John L.

The sign language has no tenses. There is no grammar, and can not well be one. Signs can be made for any thing and for every word. The speaker gave a number of words and expressions as examples in the sign language. "Humbugging" was a swift motion made by pressing one hand rapidly over the other. "Ignorance" was denoted by two fingers laid on the forehead, indicating bars across the mind. "Forgetfulness" was a motion as of wiping away thoughts from the mind. To further illustrate one of the young ladies of the Institution was called to the platform, and gave Hood's "Song of the Shirt" in the sign language, as it was read to her. Her attitudes, for different renderings, were perfect, and the deep sadness and pathos of the piece were well represented. The word "Berkeley" was suggested from the audience, in order to further illustrate the sign language, and the lecturer, without using his hands, but simply by other motions, conveyed the meaning to a pupil across the room, who rose promptly and wrote the word on the blackboard. The class in articulation was then called to the platform. The teacher, Mrs. Handy, was present with about fifteen children, some not over five or six years of age. Most of one delegate for each 200 votes cast for field and one additional for each fraction exceeding 100. In addition, each country allowed a delegate at large.

Vanderbilt and Cyrus W. Field by sending them explosives through the maila. The dangerous character of the packages was discovered on the way to the Postoffice station, and so a probable loss of life was prevented. The circumstances of the case, as related by Postmaster Pearson, are as follows: Two missives came into the Postoffice about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. One was posted in the office and the other was brought in by a collector a few minutes afterward. The last one was addressed to William H. Vanderbilt, 459 Fifth avenue. The first one was addressed to Cyrus W. Field, Lexington avenue and Twenty-third street. The packets were placed in the mail bag, along with other mail for the up-town district, put in the mail wagon and taken to the Third-avenue elevated railroad station, at the head of Chatham street, and then deposited on the front platform of one of the cars. The train started up town, and before reaching the station at Ninth street and Third avenue, an explosion was heard from the mail bag and fire and smoke was observed to issue from it. When the train stopped at the station the burning bag was hastily transferred to the platform, as the railroad people were afraid to transport it any further on the train. It was taken down stairs, placed on a wagon and taken to the postoffice station at Twenty-ninth CUT WORMS. How to Destroy them—A Front Annulation. The question of cut worms was discussed at the last meeting of the St. Helena Vine-cultural Society, and the following report is taken from the Star: Dent raised the question of cut worms—how they come and how they are destroyed. He had found that spiders destroy them, and consequently come to regard that insect as in this respect at least a friend of the vineyardist. Scheffler suggested Paris green to kill them (the cut worms). Dent asked if sulphur would not kill them. Scheffler thought not; sulphur acts rather upward than downward. Thought manure a good preventive. Since his vines had been well manured had seen no cut worms about them. Other gentlemen reported seeing none so far this year. Krug said that Wetmore regarded a solution of phenyl as a cure for all insects. Heymann had suffered much last year, losing 200 vines, but had put in a mixture of two barrels lime, two barrels sabae, and a little salt, and had killed them all. Morel has found a most effective remedy in digging holes around the vines in the fall, so that the water might stand during the winter. The theory is that the cut worm finds his congenial home in loose, warm earth at the surface, the water standing in the ground destroys these conditions and drives him elsewhere. He dug away the REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME. Republican State Convention will be celebrated on August 30th. The event of delegates is on the basis of votes for each 200 votes cast for Garcia, one additional for each fraction 100. In addition, each county is delegate at large. This makes the event stand as follows: 1.

(Inasmuch half afraid he would not appear friendship with Shelley and his my leisure hours I was alas Shelleys' apartments. The poet was his infant in my lap and bid me self with a live doll, while he conceived writing. Both Shelley and his delightful, and when they left, was after, we were very sorry. One told me Lord Byron was coming into visit him. In vain I implored let me be with them when the same, but she would not hear of Shelley this with tears in my eyes said: "Well, little woman. If you don't let you be in the same room here, if you are very anxious to see through the keyhole, and I will do that you shall have a full view So, next day, Willie and I went to Shelley's door and peeped the keyhole. We were so fascinated, watching the great poet, that we were some time. At last Byron budget, and said: "I say, Shelley, how it is, but I feel as if someatching me." Shelley smiled, and the door told him what we were who we were, and also that mammal allow us to make his acquaintance had no idea," said the poet, "I am very bad name. I should be too know the young people, and bear too, if she will permit it." He and came towards the door; but down the passage, while he and good laughing. That was the first row of Byron.—All the Year Round. Superintendent Mosher, who is in charge there, dispatched a messenger in haste for Postmaster Pearson, and when that official arrived the half-burned mail bag and its contents were examined. The package addressed to Cyrus W. Field was plunged into a bucket of water for fear it might also explode, and when thoroughly soaked was examined carefully. It was found to consist of a pasteboard box covered with gaudy flowers and pictures, and had a small drawer in it from which depended a string, as it is supposed, for the purpose of drawing it open and causing an explosion. Inside of the box was found a tin canister containing about a half pound of powder and a glass jar containing a white powder and a liquid, believed to be some kind of explosive, but what it was none of the Postoffice officials could say. It will be sent to a chemist for analysis. On the packages were ten five-cent stamps. It was Mr. Vanderbilt's package that exploded, probably caused by the jolt of the cars when rounding the curve out of the Bowery into Third avenue, and but for which occurrence the packages might have reached their destination and exploded in the hands of the persons to whom they were addressed. The contents of the mail-bag were pretty well scoured by the explosion. The Postoffice officials are making vigorous efforts to trace the packages to the persons who sent them, and no stone will be left unturned, Postmaster Pearson says, to hunt down the culprit. The Star says: On the inside of the wrapper around the package intended for Field was the address, written in pencil, "G. W. Walling, 311 East Nineteenth street, City." This is the name and residence of the Superintendent of Police, and it seems probable that the assassins had first intended to attempt his life, and had afterward transferred their attention to Field. Among the cotton batting and loose paper with which this box was packed was a fragment of a German paper, the Volka Zeitung, which is known as the organ of the German socialists in this city. Postmaster Pearson, after examining two packages thoroughly, took a carriage and called upon Vanderbilt and Field at their respective residences, and informed them of the attempt upon their lives and its failure. Neither of the gentlemen expressed much surprise or much alarm. Vanderbilt said he took up work in the habit of opening sundries taken to the Third-avenue elevated railroad station, at the head of Chatham street, and then deposited on the front platform of one of the cars. The train started up town, and before reaching the station at Ninth street and Third avenue, an explosion was heard from the mail bag and fire and smoke was observed to issue from it.

Superintendent Mosher, who is in charge there, dispatched a messenger in haste for Postmaster Pearson,and when that official arrivedthe half-burned mail bagand its contents were examined.The package addressed to Cyrus W.Field was plunged into a bucket of water for fear it might also explode,and when thoroughly soaked was examined carefully.It was found to consistofa pasteboardboxcoveredwithgaudyflowersandpictures,andhadadsmalldrawerinitfromwhichdependedastring.asitissupposed,forgothepurposeofdrawingitopenandcausinganexplosion.Insideoftheboxwasfounda tincanistercontainingaboutahalfpoundofpowderandaglassjarcontainingwhatisfoundedthedestinationandexplodedinthehandsofthepersonstowhomtheywereaddressed.Thecontentsofthemail-bagwereprettywellscoredbytheexplosion.

Doctors are treating boils which present epidemic out there, with bot- and spiritus frumenti. "Be jah-claims one of John Kelley's home-that's the place for me; I'm going mean to gut boils." The Eural Press last week had the following interesting item: The outlook for the hay crop this year does not promise anything more than a fair average crop. The rather scanty rainfall has produced a light growth of wild cata. The plants started well and early, but the cold winter made the growth very slow, and in some parts cold and druth combined to render the crop hardly worth cutting. As a rule the hay plants are heading out from short stems, and this will cause short weights per acre. In other parts of the State there has been a good growth, and quite satisfactory results will be obtained. The prospect of a moderate crop coupled with a prospective growing demand, will probably make a year of good hay prices, and there is some disposition now to hold over old hay as a speculation. G. A. Geinghary of San Jose shot his daughter Friday week, inflicting severe wounds. The girl declared that he had an unnatural love for her, and jealousy prompted the crime. The father says she was going to the bad, and that he shot her rather than have her pursue her evil ways. Postmaster Pearson, after examining two packages thoroughly, took a carriage and called upon Vanderbilt and Field at their respective residences, and informed them of the attempt upon their lives and its failure. Neither of the gentlemen expressed much surprise or much alarm. Vanderbilt said he was not much in the habit of opening suspicious looking packages from unknown sources, and he certainly would not have pulled at an inviting-looking blue ribbon sticking out of a package addressed "Vanderbilt." Almost the only clues left for the authorities to follow are the facts that the Vanderbilt package was brought to the office by a collector, and the Field box was deposited in the Postoffice on the Park row side between 3:30 and 3:55 P.M. Little Rock, April 29.—The first race, a mile dash for $500, between Mrs. Nellie Burke, of Omaha, and Miss Taylor, of Texas, the former riding Garfield and the latter Zaphrel, was won by Mrs. Burke. Time, 1.48. The second race, a ten mile trial of speed and endurance, between the same ladies, each using five horses during the race, was won by Mrs. Burke, who gained a mile and a quarter on Miss Taylor. Time, 27 minutes and 29 seconds. Doncaster, April 29.—A railway employee named Albert Young, arrested for threatening the life of the Queen, will be taken to London. Young wrote to Sir Henry Ponsonby, Private Secretary to the Queen, demanding money and threatening the Neis of her Majesty and Prince Leopold. He is apparently crazy. New York, April 29.—Five ocean steamships sailed to-day, carrying out 1,217 cabin passengers. This is 25 per cent. greater than the sailing on the corresponding day last year. New York, April 29.—A committee of the Garfield Club left for Washington tonight with a petition for the pardon of Sargent Mason, containing 175,000 signatures. J. G. Van Meter of Orville was killed last week. In attempting to hire some swarming bees, by some means some of them entered his mouth and stung him in the throat, resulting in infestation and death in a few minutes from the swelling.
