WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY. SEPT. 1, 1883 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. "THERE'S NOTHING LIKE LEATHER." It is said that many of the noatrums with which afflicted mankind seek to cure their ills, and for which they pay one hundred or two hundred cents a bottle, really cost the producer but five or ten cents. This fact is often referred to as illustrative of the guillibility of the public, but a still more striking illustration is furnished by the recent attempt of the Hebrew archaeologist, Shapira, to obtain from the British Government $500,000 for a few strips of leather which probably cost him a dollar and a half! It will be remembered that a few weeks ago it was reported that Shapira had discovered a sheepkin manuscript upon which was recorded in Hebraic characters portions of the book of Deuteronomy. His story was to the effect that he had purchased the manuscript from a noble Arab who claimed that they were heirlooms which had been handed down in his family for generations. As the manuscripts were dated about 700 years before Christ and 1600 years before the oldest authentic manuscript of Deuteronomy, their discovery caused great commotion in the religious world, because they afforded additional proof of the correctness of the version so long adopted. Shapira fixed his price at £1,000,000 and gave the manuscript to the British authorities for inspection. They are thus described. The portions of Shapira's manuscripts shown consist of strips of leather, one about fourteen inches long, and each nearly four inches broad. The material is apparently goatskin smoared with oil for the purpose of preservation. The edges are pugged and the face of the leather very brown, or even black. On the larger piece no character is to the ordinary eye; at all legible; the characters on the small strip are quite plain, in parts resembling rows of small 7s and 9s similar to the characters found upon the famous Moabite stone. About forty such VICTORIA'S VAGARIES. The honored and testy old lady known to fame as Queen Victoria, has reached an age when exhibitions of peevishness, ill temper and childishness may be expected and excused, but it really does appear as if her advisers should persuade her to abdicate in favor of the Prince of Wales who, barring a royal weakness for pretty womankind, is a first-rate fellow and will make a tip-top King. Many of the Queen's actions betoken a weakened mind, and show her to be unfit to fulfill the duties of her high station. Her avarice and penuriousness are so great that she could not spare out of her vast fortune enough money to prevent the forced sale of the furniture of the Duke of Teck's palace, albeit that among the effects sold were several busts of the late Prince Consort, a personage whom we are told is mourned deeply by the Queen even at this late day. This growing miserliness on the part of the Queen has done more than anything else to bring her into disfavor with her open-handed, generous subjects. Her absurd affection for the dead Scotch sycophant, John Brown, is also a fruitful source of disgust to the people; and we note in British papers remarks neither complimentary nor chaste auent the maudlin sympathy shown by the Queen in this matter. Her latest freak is Shapura fixed his price at £1,000,000 and gave the manuscript to the British authorities for inspection. They are thus described. The portions of Shapura's manuscripts shown consist of strips of leather, one about fourteen inches long, and each nearly four inches broad. The material is apparently goatskin smoaked with oil for the purpose of preservation. The edges are jagged and the face of the leather very brown, or even black. On the larger piece no character is to the ordinary eye at all legible; the characters on the small strip are quite plain, in parts resembling rows of small 7s and 9's similar to the characters found upon the famous Moabite stone. About forty such pieces of leather constituted the fragments. The authorities called in an array of learned Hebraic scholars, and they have carefully examined the documents and are ready to report. They are divided in opinion. The most eminent among them pronounce the discovery to be a base attempt at fraud and the documents as forgeries; and say that the leather is modern and that the ink is less than ten years old. They also have worked up Shapura's history in regular detective style, and will show that the Moabite potteries, which Shapura discovered ten years ago and induced Germany to believe in purchase and exhibit to the world as proofs of the correctness of the accepted versions of Holy Writ, are the fraudulent, base fabrications of a man who has a perfect genius for this kind of work. There are, however, those who believe in the genuineness of the discovery, and the result will be a wordy war and all the bitter antagonism which usually follow a religious controversy. VICTORIA'S VAGARIES. The honored and testy old lady known to fame as Queen Victoria, has reached an age when exhibitions of peevishness, ill temper and childishness may be expected and excused, but it really does appear as if her advisers should persuade her to abdicate in favor of the Prince of Wales who, barring a royal weakness for pretty womankind, is a first-rate fellow and will make a tip-top King. Many of the Queen's actions betoken a weakened mind, and show her to be unfit to fulfill the duties of her high station. Her avarice and penuriousness are so great that she could not spare out of her vast fortune enough money to prevent the forced sale of the furniture of the Duke of Teck's palace, albeit that among the effects sold were several busts of the late Prince Consort, a personage whom we are told is mourned deeply by the Queen even at this late day. This growing miserliness on the part of the Queen has done more than anything else to bring her into disfavor with her open-handed, generous subjects. Her absurd affection for the dead Scotch sycophant, John Brown, is also a fruitful source of disgust to the people; and we note in British papers remarks neither complimentary nor chaste auent the maudlin sympathy shown by the Queen in this matter. Her latest freak is County Clerk Potts has received the following letter from the Clerk of the State Board of Equalization: Please take notice and inform the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county that the State Board of Equalization, having investigated the assessment upon the assessment roll or book of said county for the year 1883, proposes to increase the entire assessment roll or book be stated that the agency in Chicago is not supplied with any descriptions of lands belonging to the Central Pacific or Southern Pacific Railroad Companies, and as much attention will be given to those sections of the State where these companies have no lands for sale as to those sections wherein the lands of the company are located. It is not the purpose of the agency at Chicago to sell the lands of private individuals; but, if printed descriptions of lands for sale are furnished, the general character of the country, climate, facilities to markets, and the resources generally of that section of the State wherein the lands are located will be explained to all applicants at the agency for such information. There is no reason to doubt that the course taken by the railroad companies to benefit the State will be pursued with characteristic vigor and will be followed by good results. He must indeed be a surly car who will sue at their efforts because, forsooth, they are not entirely disinterested—because the immigration into and settlement of the State means more fares and more freight for the transportation lines. The fact remains that through their sagacity and enterprise we will all be benefited, and it is well to enshrine with this mantle of fact many of their questionable acts. As illustrating this new departure on the part of the railroad companies we quote the following self-explanatory letter addressed to E. Germain of Los Angeles by T. H. Goodman, of the C. P. R. R. This Company is making a collection of products of this State nor exhibition at the Pontological Fair to be held in Philadelphia on the 12th of September. We have arranged for collections from different points in northern portion of this State, and desire to make this exhibition as full and complete as it is possible to do. With that object in view we address this letter to you, and would request that you render us any assistance in your power in the matter. The exhibition will be under personal charge and supervision of Mr. C. W. Reed, of Sacramento, who (as is no doubt well known to yourself) is an experienced fruit-rasser and shipper. Mr. Reed's time will not permit him to visit Los Angeles. We should be pleased to receive samples of any and all products of Los Angeles and Southern California for this collection, and desire that each individual specimen shall bear the correct name and variety of the fruit, the exact location where grown, and the full name of the producer, in order that each fruit-rasser may receive due credit for his contribution. Such samples as you may feel inclined to contribute for this purpose, or which through your kind offices may be contributed by others, should be addressed to Mr. C. A. Stevens, Agent C. P. R. R., Sacramento, and shipped in time to reach that city not later than September 5th.

This growing miserliness on the part of the Queen has done more than anything else to bring her into disfavor with her open-handed, generous subjects. Her absurd affection for the dead Scotch sycophant, John Brown, is also a fruitful source of disgust to the people, and we note in British papers remarks neither complimentary nor chaste anent the maudlin sympathy shown by the Queen in this matter. Her latest freak is the erection of a cairn at Balmoral to Brown's memory, and the dedicatory ceremonies will take place today [Sept. 1st]. She has also requested Tennyson to perpetuate Brown's memory in verse and has instructed Sir Theodore Martin to write the gillie's life. The royal lady has also appeared in the rather novel role of offering to compound a felony. Lady Trevois having had jewels stolen to the amount of £35,000, the Queen has offered a reward of £500 and pardon to the thieves if they will return the jewels. The compounding of a felony is a crime, and here we have the Queen of England openly perpetrating a crime. A San Francisco commission house has published at this late day their annual review of the product of dried fruits, nuts and honey in California during the year 1882. The figures of course are approximate, but as a whole are probably not far out of the way. They think that 120 car loads of oranges of 300 boxes each have been sent East within the year. The products of dried fruits, nuts and honey in 1882 are annexed: | QUANTITY | SUN DRIED | GRANES | ROS | PITTED PLUMS | EVAPOR'D APPLES | EVAPOR'D APRICOTS | COMB HONEY | EXTRACT'D HONEY | ALMONDS | WALNUTS | | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | A fatal duel occurred near London City, Illinois, between Louis Philips and Jacob Rosenbrook, in which the latter was killed instantly and the former wounded so badly that he died a few hours after. The affair had its origin in a grudge of long standing, growing out of disrespectful remarks concerning Rosenbrook's sister. County Clerk Potts has received the following letter from the Clerk of the State Board of Equalization: Please take notice and inform the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county that the State Board of Equalization, having investigated the assessment upon the assessment roll or book of said county for the year 1883, proposes to increase the entire assessment roll or book of said county for the year 1883, for the purpose of making the assessment conform to the true value in money of the property contained in said roll so as to equalize the valuation of the taxable property of the several counties of the State for the purpose of taxation. The Board will hear and consider all objections which may be made to such increase at its office in the Capitol at Sacramento, on Friday, September 7th, 1883, between the hours of 9 o'clock A.M. and 5 P.M. A violent riot occurred against the Jews at Egerszeg (Austria) last Friday and Saturday night. Two thousand peasants took part in an outbreak, wrecked all the houses and shops of Jews in the place and shouted, "murder all Jews." Troops were called out but were unable to suppress the violence of the mob until reinforced. The rioters also released a number of prisoners by force. Infantry and cavalry have been ordered to proceed to Egerszeg, from Budo, Pesth. Later advises say that 346 houses were wrecked and plundered during the progress of the riots. The losses sustained by the Jews are estimated at 611,000 roubles. Fourteen Russians, who were wounded by the troops in quelling the outbreak, have since died, making the total killed twenty-eight. Numerous cases of Jew beating are reported, but the police and troops, acting with energy in most instances, promptly suppressed all attempts at outrages against the Jews. At Berdichev eighty houses of Jews were fired. Their former inmates are without shelter and suffering great privations. Jackson S. Schultz has filed affidavits before the Board of Health of New York declaring the ringing of St. George's church bells, in Stuyvesant square, a nuisance, which he asks to have suppressed. St. George's was formerly Dr. Tyng's church and one of the most fashionable in the city. PACIFIC COAST NEWS. Joe Hurtado and Simon Raten, two Sacramento inmates murderers who were to have been hanged August 30th, have been repitted for thirty days by Governor Stoneman. James Doda, the unabuzzing Treasurer of Oakland, was sentenced to five years in State Prison. The prisoner received his sentence calmly. It is stated an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court. Edward M. Derby of Oakland was run into and instantly killed by the Sacramento train. Mr. Derby was endeavoring to cross the track ahead of the train and was struck by the engine and was thrown twenty feet in the air. By some oversight the officials of Churchill county, New York, failed to secure a title to the ground in Stillwater on which their Court House and jail are situated, and recently this land was bought by a man named Richardson, who now has a State patent for it. The British steamer Poonail, from Calcutta via the Fiji Islands, arrived at San Francisco on Monday. During her voyage between Calcutta and the Fiji Islands the cholera broke out on board taking off twenty passengers and attacking a number of others. No new cases occurred from the Fiji Islands to this port. The engine in the barley mill of B. McRae in Roseville exploded, instantly killing the engineer, Captain John N. Brown, wounding Frank Asher and a Mr. Thistlewatte though not fatally. A wooden building near by was demolished by the force of the explosion. The accident was caused by lack of waters in the boiler. Professor Davidson has sent a telegram to the Superintendent of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey informing him that earthquake waves were felt on this Coast on the morning of the 27th inst. The waves continued arriving through Wednesday. There is little doubt that the waves came from the region of Java. Owing to the neglect of the railroads to pay their taxes, the General Fund of the State Treasury is now short $415,147.77. Several weeks ago the Governor ordered transferred to that fund $50,000 from the Harbor Commissioners' fund, $200,000 from the State School Land Fund, and $30,000 from the Estates of Deceased Persons Fund, a total of $280,000. All that money disappeared as rapidly as melting snow under a July sun, and now there are outstanding demands against it amounting to $135,147.77, which makes the total indebtedness of the fund $415,147.77. C. A. Hughes (colored) filed a bill of complaint in the United States Circuit Court in Pacific Coast News. NEWS OF THE WEEK. The King of Roumania is seeking the Pope's consent to annul his marriage. His Queen has returned to her family. At Wells, Maine, two young ladies and two young men, were drowned while bathing, having been carried out by the undertow. The twenty-mile bicycle race at Washington, D.C., in which there were five starters, was won by H. Wintman, of England; time, 1 hour, 9 minutes, 52 seconds. By the falling of a scaffold at the King of Ravana's new palace at lake Chiemtwenty-three workmen were killed and seventeen injured. A collision in the English channel between the steamers St. Germain and Woodburn resulted in the sinking of the latter and, the drowning of eighteen of her crew. A M. Roekafeller's double team, Cleora and Independence, trotted at Hartford today for a record, making one mile in 2:16. The previous record was 2:18. An American lady, well known in society in Paris, recently made a sensation by appearing at the bail of a foreign court in a costume of white kid, fitting like a glove. Henry Hertle and his wife, Garman shopkeepers, were murdered in their store at Savannah, Georgia. It is supposed they were robbed. A furious hailstorm practically destroyed the entire tobacco crop of Rock county. Wisconsin. The damage is estimated at fully $100,000. At Brooklyn, N.Y., Dr. Willard was married to Sarah Brawster, while the latter was on her deathbed. They had been engaged for two years, but she became ill with consumption.

The Duke of Rochon has issued an order to his servants prohibiting all welcomes any part of his estates from marrying with or first obtaining his consent, under penalty of forfeiture their holdings. A tenement house in Boston was burned and five of the inmates were barred into death. The fire originated by a man named Savage throwing a lighted kerose lamp at My Experience in House Keeping. EDITOR GAZETTE.-My wife having left home for a few days the kitchen drudgery, as well as the care of everything about the place, devolved upon myself—a rather novel task for me to undertake; never having had to do much of that kind of work before I was certainly "green." Well, the day she left everything was in good fix and victuals enough cooked for the day. I did first-rate, but in gathering in the eggs I had been instructed by my superior that she had got one dozen yesterday and I must look well after them; look in every hole, see sand, which I certainly did and only two appeared in sight, and that was all I got that day, except that in my rambles I must have rain foul of a nest of mites; as that night after going to bed I had no rest for the blamed things; and I tried to detach them but they were too supple for my awkward fingers. Well next morning I got the breakfast and washed the dishes—these milk dishes take a great deal of washing even though they are tin; then the strainer bucket has a spout on it and in wiping it dry I unfortunately left a little hot water in it, and in turning it round I stupidly from the spout, run some hot water into my pocket. Well now, don't that heat all and get scalded in the bargain. Beast the tiring anynow. This day, excepting this little mistake, I got along well. Noting appeared to marry my pleasure the next day; except the trifling chair of scolding my feet in emptying dish water from the kettle on the stove; the bottom shipped somehow as only a woman can tell and splash went; the water on the floor and my boots being there had their full share. Well now what next? When my wife comes home my outer skin will be gone entirely. Well next morning when I went to milk the cows a young pup of a dog followed me into the corral; I did not notice the bride and it came right up to the cow's head; by this time my pad was half full of milk. The cow made a dive for the dog; I unfortunately was in way of hair one leg, and that leg upset me; paill; milk and all; the most of the milk caught my nummationables a little below the brace buttons and such a sight was I lost all the milk and near drilled in the valuable liquid. I thought to get up from where I sprawled in the dirt; but I should I was fast to the stood. A silver on top of the stool had caught me by those same things again; and there I was only a few rows down the road; where I burst not for shame unhackable. What was I to do? To run I could not on account of the weight being all on the wrong side. While I was in this dilemma, fortunately, the thing fell off itself; and then you may depend on dog and cow took it; but what matter now, my milk was all gone. Well now is that no Owing to the neglect of the railroads to pay their taxes, the General Fund of the State Treasury is now short $415,147.77. Several weeks ago the Governor ordered transferred to that fund $50,000 from the Harbor Commissioners' fund, $200,000 from the State School Land Fund, and $30,000 from the Estates of Deceased Persons Fund, a total of $280,000.

C. A. Hughes (colored) filed a bill of complaint in the United States Circuit Court in San Francisco in which he sets forth that, on the evening of the 16th inst., he entered a restaurant accompanied by two lady friends, also colored, and asked to be served. The waiters refused to execute his orders on the ground, as they stated, that they were not permitted to serve colored people in that restaurant. He then left the premises with his companions. Plaintiff demands judgment against the proprietor of the restaurant, Rinaldo R. Swain, for $500. The latest similar case in this State occurred about seven years ago. Judges Sawyer and Hoffman rendered judgment in favor of defendant and the case was appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, where it still remains. Word has been received in San Francisco that the dredger now at work off Aspenwall digging the Panama canal is working satisfactorily in every way. It removes 1,000 cubic yards an hour, or 10,000 cubic yards a day, when running at a two-thirds capacity, thus doing the work of 30 men, the dirt being thrown some sixty feet from the side of the canal. The second dredger, the Prosper Hewne, was finished on Monday last and will be at Panama in about six weeks, and the third dredger, which has not yet been named, will be launched in about three weeks and taken down as soon as possible. The line of the canal has been sounded for two thirds of the distance from Aspenwall, and it was found that the entire length can be dredged and that no blasting will be necessary. This fact is looked upon as of the greatest importance, as it will facilitate the work immensely and enable it to be completed so much sooner. For some months it has been currently stated that Mr. Frank Kimball had generously offered a gift deed to any person who would accept one thousand acres of fruit lands, with the proviso that one half or five hundred acres thereof should be immediately put under cultivation by the planting of grape vines, etc. Yesterday Mr. Kimball informed us that Mr. Arpail Harazathy had accepted his proposition with the above conditions, and the almost world-wide reputation of Mr. Harazathy as a wine manufacturer is a sufficient guarantee that in from three to five years we shall have in San Diego county, perhaps the largest winery on the Pacific Coast, and that means the largest in the world. The land given by Mr. Kimball is in one body, and located on the Encinitas ranch, two and one-half miles from the Encinitas station on the line of California Southern Railroad.—San Diego Union.

The Duke of Ridley had issued an order to his servants prohibiting all webbing any part of his estates from marrying with or first obtaining love except penalty of forfeiture their holdings. A tenant house in Boston was burned and five of the inmates were burned to death. The fire originated by a man named Savage throwing a lighted kerosene lamp at his brother's head. At Sagamore City, Michigan, Caleb Lincoln, a farmer, was shot and killed by his son. The father was dead and palled his pistol on the boy when the latter drew his own weapon and put three balls into his father's head. At Park City, Utah, a colored man named Harvey shot City Marshal Burt who was attempting to arrest him. Harvey was hanged by the populace half an hour afterwards and his body dragged through the streets. Five hundred dollars by public subscription has been given toward inviting Slade and Mitchell to night at El Paso del Norte on the Mexican frontier. The Alabrede of El Paso del Norte has given permission for the fight to be held on Mexican soil. Anthony Sanger and Carl Stein, workmen in a New York brewery, entered a large wash tub to do some work. Ignorant of their presence, the engineer set the machine in motion and the life was literally pounded out of Sanger. Stein was taken out and sent to the hospital. Jacob Oldenberger and Jacob Bush had a law act in the Justice's Court at Indianapolis on Tuesday morning, which was in danger of being posted on the street's façade. Meeting Bush on the street led I to look at Ollock. Oldenberger drew a pistol and fired killing Bush instantly. Turning from Bush he shot Samuel Cunninghall who was passing at the time probably fatally. He tried cross-crossed the street and putting the pistol to his own head; shot himself dead. It is probable the shooting of Campbell was accidental; as no war in no way connected with the suit. A Tulane Paris cable say: At Royon on the Gironde river Friday, there was a scene perhaps unpresidented in the annals of ballooning. M.Graeme, a well known aeronaut, was about to make an accent in a hot air balloon called "La Ville Blanche." Mile Albreme, one member of several balloon assessee, was coiled in the car and M.Graeme was standing in its right hand in a loose coat of rope tied to one of the words that served to hold the balloon. The balloon unexpectedly broke loose and rolled itself with big tearing gasoline caught in a sort of running knot around the first and second fringes Gratton's right hand. Gratton was innermostately whisked off like air six hundred meters long. In vain he tried to hard himself up on the cool and loop it over his arm but after frantic efforts he became exhausted and lunging at the end of the cord suspended only by his two fingers and suffered exerting agony, swinging to the jerks of the balloon. The cord bent like a razor to the bone, and in that situation Gratton was carried a distance nearly four miles. Wells, Fargo & Co.

It was the man who chanced to be close to the winning crew in the Columbia Harvard race, who remarked that "Solomon in all his glory was not hurrahed like one of these." "No," said a Philadelphia bride; "I am not willing that our wedding tour should include the Yellowstone Park. Yellow don't agree with my complexion." Three years' constant study in Italy will make an American girl know too much to sing in church, and too little to be useful in opera. The most exquisite young man in Chicago carries two umbrellas one for sunshine and the other for rain changing their use from cane to shelter as occasion requires.
