WEEKLY EIM GA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1882 PREPARING TO CATCH SHARKS. How a Big Fellow Defeated Four Stout Irishmen. New York Sun. When sharks were numerous in New York bay last summer all attempts at catching the very large ones failed. This year the trial is to be renewed. Shark fishers are preparing their lines and hooks, and with last year's experience to guide them they hope to succeed in landing some monsters. It is very difficult to exhaust a shark on a line. Generally the fishermen get tired first, for in this sort of sport there is little opportunity for the exercise of skill, but there is a great demand for strength. To fish for sharks successfully it is necessary to have a long line and a chain leader attached to the hook, which should be baited with a fresh bluefish or a couple of weak fish. A large block of wood is used for a floater, and is anchored by a stone fastened to a piece of common fishing line. In this way the bait is kept in the desired position. When the big floater goes down, the fishermen jump up and grab the line. If there is a spile or anything to take a turn around, so much the better; but if there is nothing of the kind, as is usually the case when fishing on a beach, a tug of war is immediately commenced between the sportsmen and the shark. The latter always gets the start, and the difficulty is to turn him. Once turned, the hauling becomes less difficult, until the shark finds himself getting into shallow water. Then, it he is a very big fellow, and his opponents are not sufficiently numerous, there are ten chances to one that he will manage to turn again. This is the critical moment. If he is strong enough to turn he should get a line and he NEWS FROM FAR-OFF COREA The last Japanese mail brings circumstantial accounts of the outbreak in the capital of Corea on the 23d of last July, in the course of which the Queen and the heir apparent lost their lives, as also did many other persons. Among the latter were Hi Saiwo, ex-First Minister of State; Kin Hogen, Minister of Commerce; Bin Kenko, Minister of Finance; Bin Taiko, Minister of Public Works; In Yuretsu and some others. The riots were, in all respects, created by the anti-foreign party, under the direction of Tai-on-Kun, and he made a clean sweep of the progressionists. When the mobs attacked the Japan Logation, Lieutenant Horimoto, Ike Heinoshin, Okada Kadu, Kurosawa and some Japanese policemen were killed. An intelligent Corean, who was attached to the royal family, says the cause of the trouble was the failure of supplies for the troops. After suffering in this way for months they became fit subjects for the ambitious designs of Tai-on-Kun, who had long had a traitorous design of overthrowing the Government. After carefully maturing his plans Tai-on-Kun, on the 18th of July, went to the palace, and with an air of candor expounded to the King and Queen the insufficiency of the supplies for the troops, and the consequent excitement. Next he impeached the negligence of the Ministers, stating that it was distressing that the army, the country's bulwark, should be estranged from the Government at a time so eventful for Corea's domestic and foreign policy. In the afternoon of the appointed 23d of July frequent reports were brought to the palace to the effect that a mob had assembled outside the castle; that it had already set some houses on fire, and was sapling Queen Bin's house. Tai-on-Kun, SOME TIGER STORIES. Marvellous are the escapes from tigers. Col. Warren, of the Bengal army, was carried off, but killed the tiger by means of a pistol he had with him, and several other sportsmen have recovered after being severely mauled. But the most extraordinary escape was Captain Hill's, who, while leading a party of police, was attacked by a noted man-eater in the Yenzaleen Hills, and had a stand-up fight. The tiger pinioned his right arm to his side, put his paws on Hill's shoulder, and stood over him open-mouthed, while Hill endeavored to strike him with his left arm over the right shoulder. With a fiendish growl the tiger snapped down on his victim's neck, who fortunately fell at the moment. Thus only the upper fangs penetrated, and the tiger turned over a complete somersault; and when the man and tiger faced each other again, the biped had apparently been converted into a quadruped, as he was on his knees and hands, and the blood pouring down his face and beard, giving him a diabolical expression—or at all events the tiger seemed to think so, for he put his tail between his legs and ran for his life. This tiger afterwards killed a Karen, and was shot over the body by means of two guns, tied near it, with a string attached to the trigger, fastened across the path he was expected by. To show the audacity of a tiger, we may briefly relate the following: Our 36th native Infantry was en route to Berhampore, and an officer's servant—who, with the mess kit, had, as is often the case, preceded the corps to the next encampment ground—was just at dusk, and close to the mess guard, carried off the high road by a tiger. An infant he had in his arms when he was seized was quite unhurt in the awful If there is nothing to take around, so much the better; but if there is nothing of the kind, as is usually the case when fishing on a beach, a tug of war is immediately commenced between the sportsmen and the shark. The latter always gets the start, and the difficulty is to turn him. Once turned, the hauling becomes less difficult, until the shark finds himself getting into shallow water. Then, it he is a very big fellow, and his opponents are not sufficiently numerous, there are ten chances to one that he will manage to turn again. This is the critical moment. If he is strong enough to turn, he should get a line and be permitted to run a reasonable distance, when the chance of turning him again becomes far better than when he is in the shallow water. Then the work of hauling is resumed, and sore hands become prevalent. Panting, almost exhausted, and bathed in perspiration, three stout Irishmen hauling on a line hailed a boatman one day last fall from the Staten Island shore, near the mouth of the Narrows: "Come ashore, boss, and give us a pull; we've got a shark!" they shouted. The boatman lost no time in going to their relief. He was a powerful man, and the pull that he gave the line turned the shark head on for the beach, and he began to come quietly. "He has given up the game," one of the party said, "He thinks it ain't a square deal, and that we had no right to call for help." "Keep him coming!" said the boatman. "Don't give him a chance to change his mind!" "Now, Pat," shouted one of the party, "the moment we pull him out you must go and take the hook out of his mouth!" "Eh!" said Pat. "Be gob, you can go and do it yourself! I don't hanker after the job." The four men pulled the monster easily enough until he reached the shallow water. There he refused positively to go any further. They tugged and strained. He plunged furiously. Just at this critical juncture there was disunion among the Irishmen, some favoring concession, others coercion. "Give him line!" the boatman shouted. "Not an inch!" said a coerctionist. "Now, boys, all together!" "No, no; he is too strong yet!" "Pull!" "Don't pull!" Taking advantage of this want of unity, the shark made a terrific plunge and turned again. Then he darted off, making the line whistle through the water. Coming near the end of the line, which was 600 feet in length, he showed no disposition to slacken his speed. So the men braced themselves for another effort. Planting their heels in the sand, they began to howl, but the big fellow was too much for them. Step by step he compelled them to advance to the edge of the water. They declined to go in and the shark would not come out. A renewed struggle of the most desperate character was immediately commenced. Suddenly the four Irishmen fell all in a heap in of candor expounded to the King and Queen the insufficiency of the supplies for the troops, and the consequent excitement. Next he impeached the negligence of the Ministers, stating that it was distressing that the army, the country's bulwark, should be estranged from the Government at a time so eventful for Corea's domestic and foreign policy. In the afternoon of the appointed 23d of July frequent reports were brought to the palace to the effect that a mob had assembled outside the castle; that it had already set some houses on fire, and was asailing Queen Bin's house. Tai-on-Kun, pretending to be much exasperated by the outrages of the rioters, induced the monarch to take refuge within the Royal Guards' quarters in the inner part of the castle, and he himself went to the Queen's house. At this time the eunuchs and court ladies were panic-streken at the report that the rioters had broken through the palace gates. The hurling of arrows and the clashing of naked swords, and the yells of the assailants shouting. "Where is the Queen? Where is the Queen?" added to their dismay. Tai-on-Kun then persuaded the Queen, who was overcome with grief and resentment, that she had better die than expose herself to the insults of the rabble, and so she took from his hand a cup of poison. The poor lady gave one-half of the mixture to the infant-wife of the hair-apparent—a girl only eleven years old—and swallowed the remainder herself. CHICAGO, September 15th.—An important suit was begun in the Criminal Court, brought by the Chicago Packing and Provision Company, who charge Manson McMullen, James Shehan and Jere Shehan with stealing their hogs. The statement was made by the prosecution that these three, with a man named Hally, just from the Penitentiary, had formed a partnership in 1879 and have been stealing hogs ever since, the proceeds of their thefts amounting to over $500,000, which came mostly from Phil Armour. Haily was the first witness, and gave circumstantial facts of the stealing and his participation therein. He was employed in Armour's place and had the keys, so that every night and Sunday during 1879 and 1880 he and Shehan would drive off forty to fifty hogs. Fears of detection stopped their stealing. WASHINGTON, September 14th.—The amount paid for pensions during the year, including cost of disbursement, was $54,-296,280. Total number of pensioners on the roll, 285,697; gain over previous year, 16,-866. The total amounts paid by the Government for pensions from 1791 to 1861 was $31,480,455. Total amount paid from 1861 to June 30th, 1882, was $760,641,324. Out of this amount and since 1871, $25,234,232 has been paid to survivors of the war of 1812, and to widows of those who served during that war. Deducting this latter amount and estimating that which may have been paid to pensioners on account of wars prior to 1861-65, about $330,000,000 has been paid to pensioners on account of wars prior to 1861-65, about $330,000,000 has been paid to pensioners on account of wars prior to 1861-65, about $330,000,000 has been paid to pensioners on account of wars prior to 1861-65, about $330,000,000 has been paid to pensioners on account of wars prior to 1861-65, about $330 Then he darted off, making the line whistle through the water. Coming near the end of the line, which was 600 feet in length, he showed no disposition to slacken his speed. So the men braced themselves for another effort. Planting their heels in the sand, they began to howl, but the big fellow was too much for them. Step by step he compelled them to advance to the edge of the water. They declined to go in and the shark would not come out. A renewed struggle of the most desperate character was immediately commenced. Suddenly the four Irishmen fell all in a heap in the sand. The shark was gone. "Well, we had sport with him, any way," one said. "Do you call it sport," another said, "to be dragged up and down the sand for an hour, and then to get nothing for it but sore hands!" "That's what I call powerful sport," the first speaker replied. "Well," his companion said, "I'll never play tug of war with that old shark again." Jean Condoist has been brought to Paris as a medical curiosity from the Haute Cone. According to a medical contributor to a Parisian contemporary, this youth, aged 19, took a start on the 17th of May, 1881, being then six feet three inches high, and found one morning that he had grown an inch. Every week since then he has registered himself, and on the 14th of September this human beanstalk had gained nearly five inches; he grew five inches more before the 20th of January, 1882, and seven more before March 15, and he now stands 7 feet 10 inches. All this has been accompanied by great pains in the back, and he stoops considerably; but since last June it is his legs only that have grown, and his feet are already twenty-four inches long. At the Johet Rolling Mills, Chicago, Jas. Furgeson swung a ladle so carelessly as to pour five tons of molten steel into the pit where he stood, roasting him instantly. Chicago, Sept. 7.—In the Illinois Democratic Convention to-day, at Springfield, the Rev. Dr. Gross, an old-time Baptist preacher, made the opening prayer. It was one that will long be remembered in this State. Following the "Amen," there was a perfect storm of applause, and many hats were thrown toward the ceiling. It was as follows: "O Lord, we beseech Thee to save us from the devil. O Lord God, we beseech Thee to save us from Star route and other thieves upon the public treasury. O Lord God Almighty, we pray Thee to save us from Republicanism. For Christ's sake, Amen." A general request is extended from the Immigration Association of California, No. 10, California street, San Francisco, to all parties to send in the names of any farmers east of the Rocky Mountains, or in Europe, who are known to be desirous of establishing homes in this State. To all such persons the Association propose to seed a pamphlet and other documents, free of charge. The pamphlet, while it does not go into tiresome details, is replete with valuable information as to geography, topography, population, climate, soils, productions, transportation, markets, wages, schools, etc. The facts appear to have been gathered with care and the pamphlet will prove of great value to any one who is desirious of coming to this State. It is only necessary to send the proper address to obtain a copy. Of this vast territory, 103,215,360 acres, 161,000 square miles, is given to three corporations—the Northern Pacific, 48,215,040 acres; the Atlantic and Pacific, 40,690,560 acres; and the Texas Pacific, 14,300,760 acres. Legally, these roads have not earned an acre of this land; for none of the roads were completed in the time required by law. Equitably, that is by allowing them pro rata of the grants according to the number of miles completed at the time for the expiration of the grant; they have all earned about 15,000,000 acres, leaving 88,000,000 acres which should under any circumstances be forfeited. This land, at the minimum Government price ($2.50 per acre) would be worth $220,-000,000; while all the roads completed would not cost that sum. The Northern Pacific grant is 48,215,040 acres, and of that amount it earned less than 11,000,000 acres, leaving 37,000,000 which should be forfeited; yet Mr. Reid of Maine, backed by a majority of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives, reported against forfeiting this land grant; and strangled a resolution from the minority of that committee in favor of doing so. At the rate this corporation is selling its lands, what it has equitably earned would about pay for building the entire road; and what Mr. Reed proposes to give it will be a gift valued in money, of at least $150,000,-000; and of a value that cannot be computed as homes for the people of our already overcrowded centres of population. It is reported that four persons were killed by the tornado in Winsted County last Friday. GAZETTE. MEMBER 23, 1882. NO. 50 IGER STORIES. The escapes from tigerr.

And in his arms when he ate unhurt in the awful GLUCOSE WINE. The St. Helena Viticultural Club is the sworn foe of wine mazers who adulterate with glucose. The following is an extract from their proceedings at the last meeting of the club, as published in the St. Helena Star: The Committee appointed to investigate into the disposition of Lemme's glucose wine reported, by H. A. Pellet, Chairman, as follows: Your Committee appointed at the last meeting of the Club to ascertain what became of Mr. Chas. Lemme's glucose wine, beg to report as follows: First, Mr. Lemme was interviewed and acknowledged having sold his wine to Mr. A. Schilling. Second, one member of this committee repaired to San Francisco and called upon Mr. A. Schilling of the firm of A. Schilling & Co., coffee and spice merchants of that city. Mr. Schilling upon being questioned, admitted that he had received said shipment of Lemme's wine, that he was cognizant of its nature, but refused to say what disposition he made of it; intimating that although not a wine merchant, he, Schilling, had as good a right as anyone to send wine to New York and St. Louis or other places. It being evident that no information could be got in that quarter, your committee interviewed nearly all the principal wine dealers in the city from all of whom they obtained the information that the wine in question had been delivered to a certain firm in the city, the name of which your committee with-holds for the present. It is a fact worthy of note that all the wine firms interviewed by your committee are anxious that our society may succeed in proving this matter and thereby stop the mischievous, dishonest EVERYTHING. The verdict in the star route cases of Miner and Reredell have been set aside and they have been granted a new trial. The yacht Nellie, when half a mile out from Wolfburg, N. H., capsize and fourteen persons were drowned. The Hillsdale (American) crew lost the boat race in England. They broke a slide after leading for two miles; hence their defeat. "Baker Sam," a wood hauler, says the Eureka Sentinel, who had put away, buried in a stall, the sum of $6,000 in $20 gold pieces, went to gaze upon his treasure two weeks ago and found to his utter dismay that all was gone. The Rev. David Haliburton, of Rutherford county, Tennessee, one of the oldest Baptist ministers now living, could not see with his right eye until he reached his 70th year. By the use of double eyeglasses to assist the sight of his left eye, which was becoming impaired with age, eight was gradually restored to the other, with which he can now see reasonably well, while the left eye has become sightless. The Bank of England, in settlements involving fractions of a penny, always reckone such fractions in its own favor. It has thus accumulated the astonishing sum of $716,-360. The London Economist cites this as an example of the power of accumulation of small amounts, and praises the wisdom of the English Government in establishing the postal savings bank, in which deposits of one penny are received. During the year 1881 the deposits in this institution were $12,-500,000. It has for some time been known that The body by means of it, with a string attach-fastened across the path.

Courting in Church. One of the most difficult men I have ever known courted his wife while they sat in church, her hymn book serving as a medium of converse. He was turning the leaves of the book, when suddenly these lines met his eye, which he marked with a pencil and handed her to read: Tis tree I love—for thee alone I shed my tears and make my moan! Where'er I am, where'er I move, I meet the object of my love. The hymn book was presently handed back to him with a leaf turned down, and these lines designated with pencil mark: I yield, I yield, I yield: I can hold out no more! With a heart bounding with joy the youth continued to look over the volume until he found this appropriate expression of his feelings: When shall it be, That I shall find my heaven in thee — The fulness of the promise prove The pledge of thy eternal love? To which, in a moment, he received the response, indicated as before, by the turned leaf and the pencil mark: Soon as thou wilt. This unique courtship then ended by the enraptured youth marking the passage: O happy day that fixed my choice On thee. M. Grison, in the "Dark Corners of Paris," gives the following description of an ant merchant, a young woman named Blanche: "Her face and hands are tanned as though they had been prepared by some skilful tanner; she is clothed in buffalo good a right as anyone to send wine to New York and St. Louis or other places.

The suffering in Germany for lack of employment is great, and the natural gain in population is about 500,000 a year. Under such circumstances, several German statesmen are convinced that emigration is inevitable, but they have begun to argue that the great stream of people pouring out might better be utilized for the benefit of Germany than in enriching America, England and many other countries all over the world. But colonization has not yet been favorably looked upon by the German Government, whose aim is the concentration of its powers within its own compact domain. The Salvation Army is not going to have a monopoly in the saving trade. The Salvation Navy, under Admiral Tug, possibly a connection of the illustrious pugilist, has been started, and those ranging themselves under its flag are cheered by a parody of a famous old sea song, viz: "Come all you sinners young and old With hearts once cast in 'seaven's mould And join our Christian Navy bold On board of the 'Allelujah! We're bound to floor the forts of sin And the devil himself will soon cave in; Then join the sille that is sure to win— On board of the 'Alloulaj!"

Mademoiselle Blanche has negotiants in the departments where there are extensive forests; she pays her employees two francs a day. Her business extends even as far as Germany. She never receives less than ten sacks (miller's sacks) of ants daily. The ants lay eggs, and these are sold for feeding pheasant. At the present moment Mademoiselle Blanche is on the road to fortune." Chicago, Sept. 15th.—An Omaha special says: Many have been puzzled to understand why the Woman Suffrage Convention for the United States should convene in this city two weeks ahead of the date for the National Woman Suffrage Convention, and many have been led into confounding the two. One of the officers of the latter stated that the Convention will be held as announced, in Omaha, commencing the 26th instant, with Phoebe Cozzena, Mathilda Joslyn Gaga, Tillie Devereaux Blake, Susan B. Anthony and other prominent advocates in attendance. The present Convention, "The Boston Ring," as it is called, is composed largely of Nebraska people, but it is run by Lucy Stone, who is a seceder from the National, and by her husband, Dr. Blackwell of Boston. The managers of each Convention ignores the other in the calls. The difference is, the National holds that woman's suffrage is a national right, whereas the American holds that it is a State right question. Vation Navy, under Admiral Tug, possibly a connection of the illustrious pugilist, has been started, and those ranging themselves under its flag are cheered by a parody of a famous old sea song, viz: "Come all you sinners young and old With hearts once cast in 'savon's mould And join our Christian Navy bold On board of the 'Alleluujah! We're bound to floor the forts of sin And the devil himself will soon cave in; Then join the sille that is sure to win— On board of the 'Alleluujah!" The Presbyterians of St. Johnsbury, Vt., are not having a peaceful time building a new church. They bought the lot of Horace Wakefield, and had a lively fight over the dividing line, but finally carried their point. Wakefield at once put up a fence 30 feet high along the line, and coated the Presbyterian side with barbed wires. These wires the church standing so close to the line made labor on that side of the building exceedingly high-priced, and the society finally decided on erecting another fence, which should cover the barbs and protect the carpenters' trousers. Wakefield has just served an injunction on the society, restraining them from building this fence. The Chinese of Santa Barbara publish the following notice in the advertising columns of the papers of that place: "The managers of the Chinese laundries have been doing the washing for the people of this city for many years past, and heretofore have never had any trouble. Now they are annoyed by the City Marshal every day to warn them to move away—outside the city limits. They think times are dull and will not warrant them going to this expense, and they continue washing—that they had better find something else to do. They return thanks to the many people who have given them washing in the past, and would now ask their assistance in endeavoring to let them remain. Notice is hereby given that unless they are permitted to remain where they are, and to continue to do the washing as heretofore, that all the Chinese laundries in this city will close next Monday September 18, 1822.
