Prof. Hammann in San Francisco Bulletin. Returning to Los Angeles in the afternoon I took the train for the village of Anaheim, famous for being the first settlement on a large scale for the purpose of wine making. On the way we passed through a thousand-acre vineyard planted last year by Mr. Nadeau, which also shows the giant strides the young industry is making here. Anaheim is very pleasantly located on almost a level plain, with very sandy soil, which makes irrigation absolutely necessary to attain good results with vines, oranges and lemons. It was originally an exclusively German settlement, who are now, however, intermixed with Americans, to the mutual benefit of each. My first call was made on Theodore Reiser, who received me with true German hospitality and kindness, showing me through his flourishing vineyard, where Mission vines over twenty-five years old still looked healthy and were bearing abundant crops. I also saw some Burger, in their third year, bearing a handsome crop of magnificent bunches. Returning to the cellar, we tasted some very fine Mission white wine, three years old, another white wine from mixed grapes, also very fine, and a sample of Concord wine, made from a few vines trailing. ANTE-MORTEM PROBATE OF WILLS. [New York Herald] Michigan has made a radical departure in its laws relating to wills. The Legalature has passed and the Governor has approved "an act for the establishment of wills during the lifetime of the testators." The new law provides that any testator may apply to the Probate Court to have his will "admitted" and established" before his death. All persons interested as heirs or otherwise are to be cited to appear at the hearing and are given an opportunity to dispute the sanity or testamentary capacity of the testator. If the probate judge finds that the testator is of sound mind and has made his will "without fear, fraud, importunity or undue influence" a decree to that effect is to be made and attached to the will. This is declared equivalent to post-mortem probate, and the will is not to be set aside or impeached on the ground of insanity or want of testamen­tary capacity on the part of the testator. While every person may thus "establish" his will during his lifetime no one is required to do so. A testator may avail himself of the new law or trust to the old. The purpose of this legislation is highly commendable. It is aimed at an abuse which is growing every day and everywhere. The plea of insanity has not been more FREE COACH from all Trains.

My first call was made on Theodore Reiser, who received me with true German hospitality and kindness, showing me through his flourishing vineyard, where Mission vines over twenty-five years old still looked healthy and were bearing abundant crops. I also saw some Burger, in their third year, bearing a handsome crop of magnificent bunches. Returning to the cellar, we tasted some very fine Mission white wine, three years old, another white wine from mixed grapes, also very fine, and a sample of Concord wine, made from a few vines trailing over the porch, two years ago, which was really extra fine, and a curiosity to find it on this Coast. It was of a beautiful bright red color, very smooth and full, with a very pleasant aroma, free from all offensive foxiness. Mr. Reiser escorted me to the beautiful place of Mr. A. Langenberger, with whom and his kind and accomplished family I spent the remainder of the day and night, until noon of the next day, in rambling through his vineyard, where the two most interesting kinds we met, among many others, were his Orleans Reising, bearing an immense crop of beautiful and high-flavored fruit, which must certainly make a first-class wine, and a piece of Lenoir, grafted on Muscat in 1882, which presented a magnificent appearance. The grafts had nearly all taken, produced some fruit the first year, and were loaded this season with an abundant crop of perfectly ripened branches, completely covered by the deep green foliage. This consistency of foliage will be a great recommendation in the South, where the tender foliage of the Vaniferas often flags in the hot sun, and its dark colored juice will make it very valuable for blending with other red wine grapes which may lack color and tannin when grown in that sandy soil. The remainder of our time was spent in drives through the neighborhood, visits among some of the neighbors, where we found some very good dry wines, both white and red, and in pleasant converse with our host. Mrs. Langenberger is an enthusiastic lover of horticulture and grape-growing, as well as an accomplished lady; indeed I do not consider the first named as among the least of a lady's accomplishments, which lead a grace and variety to the cares of the household, and give tone and vigor to the constitution. Many of the choice trees and shrubs on the place were planted and reared by her own hands, among others a magnificent specimen of date palm, at least twenty feet high, and raised from the seed fifteen years ago. Altogether, I was much pleased with my visit to Anaheim. The country has a salubrious and healthy climate, the heat being tempered by the breeze from the sea, and people look what they are—robust and healthy. The soil is level and easily worked, as it contains more or less sand, and can all be irrigated conveniently. I saw large tracts, however, which seemed to me to be better able to withstand the summer's with Americans, to the mutual benefit of each.

Altogether, I was much pleased with my visit to Anaheim. The country has a salubrious and healthy climate, the heat being tempered by the breeze from the sea, and people look what they are—robust and healthy. The soil is level and easily worked, as it contains more or less sand, and can all be irrigated conveniently. I saw large tracts, however, which seemed to me to be better able to withstand the summer's drought than some of our lands in Napa and Sonoma. I have seen corn fields which would produce, in my estimation, from 75 to 80 bushels per acre, and the land is not so enormously high in prices as near Los Angeles, the latter costing from $100 to $200 per acre. There are large tracts lying idle yet, in the hands of large owners, which would make pleasant homes for industrious families, and I have heard of arrangements between owners and tenants by which the tenant plants a certain amount of vineyard, cultivates it for three years, and at the end of that time the land is divided—one-half belonging to the owner, the other half to the tenant. This seems to me a good arrangement for both, and a practice that ought to become general. The grapes have a lower price there, it is true, than at Napa or Sonoma, but the general average crop is also heavier, being from seven to eight tons per acre, and I have no doubt, from the samples I have seen, that good dry wines can be made there if the grapes are taken at the right time and the wines carefully handled. Referring to Pasadena, Prof. Husmann says: I can imagine that it must be very pleasant there, but can hardly see how any one without large means at his command can buy land there at present figures, plant it with trees, wait until they make returns, and make a living. True, he can now sell any day, realizing handsome profits, but it seems to me that the maximum price is about reached, and that land can hardly advance much more. The only solution seems to be that so many Eastern capitalists buy small homes here, to recruit their shattered health in this pleasant and salubrious climate, and they will pay nearly any price for a pleasant place ready for them. Why the rabbits escaped: His Lordship (after missing his tenth rabbit): "I'll tell you what it is, Bagster, your rabbits are all two inches too short hereabouts." A Remedy for Mildew. The Gloralea Vinicolo Italiano gives a new treatment for mildew, which is caused, as most of our readers know, by a cryptogam called Peronospora viticola. A grower named Jean Gazotti had employed various methods without much success, including salt, alum, gum, sulphate of iron, sulphate of potassa and nitre. The only one of these which produced satisfactory results, as far as the destruction of Peronospora was concerned, was the gum, but it formed a paste which stopped the pores of the wood and injured the vines. Mr. Gazotti then conceived the idea of sprinkling the vines with the solution of the carbonate of soda (2 kilograms of soda in a hectolitre of water) and found that it answered the purpose perfectly, and that his vines were soon restored to their normal healthy condition. The sprinkling was done with a syringe, with a pipe arranged for the purpose.—Bonfort's Wine Circular. San Jose, Oct. 13.—A box full of counterfeit silver coin was found buried in a lot in the western suburba this morning by E.C. Young. There is $1,000 of it in halves, quarters and dimes, of dates varying from 1861 to 1873. It has a good ring but is very light. The box is decayed, and has been undisturbed for a number of years.

The conflict between bee keepers and fruit growers was referred to in the following terms by J. E. Pleasants, in his address before the Beekeepers' Association: This great industry has its enemies among the fruit-growers. While admitting that bees are injurious to the raisin industry, I will defend them in most of the charges brought against them by their enemies, who oftentimes do not know the difference between a bee and a yellow jacket. The damage done to fruit is always commenced by other insects, or birds, but it is invariably laid at the door of the bee. Sometimes the fruit grower knows so little of the physiology of the bee that he accuses him of gnawing through an inch board to get to his fruit. So the cry is, "The bees must go." If not, they will be trapped and destroyed. Such work is both cruel and unlawful. I am opposed to keeping bees in the valleys between May and November, where there are orchards and vineyards. Generally the bees which are in the valleys are not owned by professional bee-keepers, but by men who just keep a few for their own use. It is to the interest of professional bee-keepers to confine bees to the mountains exclusively, as the honey produced in the valleys is of inferior quality and therefore injurious to the reputation of California honey. I am confli- NEW YORK LETTER. Ed. Gazette:—The confinement in the Insane Asylum of Doctor William L. Shine, is a sad ending of a career which might have been made very useful and bright. Dr. Shine was one of the few surviving specimens of the ward politician of twenty years ago. He was incapable of reaching to that extreme accomplishment of the ward politician of to-day, stabbing a friend in the back. An educated man, a first class surgeon, and a clever and agreeable companion; he made many friends, but at the same time as he was very outspoken and hated sham and hypocrisy, he made as many enemies. His companionable disposition led him to drink. This was not a toper's fondness but a sociable man's agreeableness. Drink, added to a close attention to his business; for in addition to having a large private practice he was the surgeon of the Elevated Road and an Irishman's natural hiking for politics which he entered into with an all absorbing fire which gradually undermined his health and softened his brain. For some years he was of an intensely quarrelsome disposition and his long navy revolver was always ready to be drawn at the slightest provocation. Poor fellow. When the news of his confinement at Bloomingdale was circulated there was not a man that knew him who did not feel sorry. With This is declared system probate, and the hide or impeached on or want of testamen-part of the testator. May thus "establish" time no one is requir- or may avail himself to the old.

The firm of Malaga, accordingly adopts the only plan that any promising the prin-tited States with a invariably giving all inferior fruit for extra pains are tac- tisfactory in every wee is set as low as rule's product of fruit. So the cry is, "The bees must go." If not, they will be trapped and destroyed. Such work is both cruel and unlawful. I am opposed to keeping bees in the valleys between May and November, where there are orchards and vineyards. Generally the bees which are in the valleys are not owned by professional bee-keepers, but by men who just keep a few for their own use. It is to the interest of professional bee-keepers to confine bees to the mountains exclusively, as the honey produced in the valleys is of inferior quality and therefore injurious to the reputation of California honey. I am confident that the majority of the true bee-keepers will coincide with me. As we all know, there are always two sides to a question, for once upon a time a keeper of bees in the mountains, who for years had been quietly pursuing the even tenor of his way, had his tranquility interrupted by a tiller of the soil, who moved into the vicinity and planted his vines and melons. In the course of time the pioneer's bees fed upon the sour grapes and melons of his neighbor, and as it was not their natural food, they became diseased and perished. Whereupon their owner became enraged and called an anti-fruit-growers' meeting, the decision of which was that the husbandman must go. New York, October 12th. The World has a distressing story of Clara Davenport who, forty years ago, was one of the most brilliant and accomplished young artists in New York. Handsome, refined and intelligent, her studio was the favorite resort of scholars, artists and journalists, and her pupils were the sons and daughters of the wealthiest families. She counted among her friends the elder Bennett, Horace Greeley, Henry J. Raymond, Rev. Dr. Stowe, Henry Ward Beecher, William Cullen Bryant, Park Goodwin, Edgar A. Poe, Mrs. Wild, and others, conspicuous in letters and theology. She wrote and published two volumes of criticisms on sermons, contributed to several magazines and popular periodicals, and took an active part in church and mission work. While thus busily engaged, she met Alfred Thornton, a son of Judge Thornton of Vermont, the latter well remembered by early residents of San Francisco. Young Thornton was a college graduate. They were married, and bought a handsome place in New Jersey. He led a fast life and brought up in the asylum. She concealed her poverty and distress, avoiding all society and living a reclusive. Recently a reporter visited Lyons' farm, midway between New York and Elizabeth, where he was told the Thornton's lived in squallid poverty. Her house had no windows, the wind blew through the cracks in the wall, and she lived in one room, the floor of which was littered with coal and dirt. The walls and ceiling were black and grimy, and she was lying on a miserable bed. A cataract over her blue eyes has made her almost sightless. Thornton's father was a member of the Government Commission to California in 1851-52. Drink, added to a close attention to his business; for in addition to having a large private practice he was the surgeon of the Elevated Road and an Irishman's natural liking for politics which he entered into with an all absorbing fire which gradually undermined his health and softened his brain. For some years he was of an intensely quarrelsome disposition and his long navy revolver was always ready to be drawn at the slightest provocation. Poor fellow. When the news of his confinement at Bloomingdale was circulated there was not a man that knew him who did not feel sorry. With him New York life has lost one of its most characteristic figures, and the old First Ward is most admired champion. Speaking about insanity reminds me of the case of George Hoey: the actor and dramatist, the son of John Hoey, of the Adams Express Company and one of the weaithist property owners at Long Franco. A few days ago an advertisement appeared in the papers requesting the public not to cash checks or drafts presented by George Hoey, as the young man's mind was incapacitated and the father would not be responsible for his son's transactions. Now I happen to know that George's mind is not at all affected, but that this advertisement was called forth by his wild and unbridled recklessness which has almost broken his aged mother's heart and saddened the days of his father. George was quite a success as an actor. Being a clever fellow with a natural liking for and bent to literature, he turned dramaist and his "Child of the State," and other plays had good runs. Then he wanted to become a manager, organized his own company and failed, his father making good the losses. He tried a second time and failed again. Then he fell into the hands of evil associates. Disappointment over his failure and their wicked influence led him to neglect his charming little wife, and indulge in all sorts of extravagances, always drawing on his father when funds ran short. This thing has gone on so far that the father tools bound to resort to heroic measures, and he employed the means publicly informing the young man and the people at large that he believed him to be insane. He hopes this announcement will produce a reaction and that the son will return to the fold. He has the sympathy of every kindly feeling person. The anniversary of the formation of the First Abolition Society was celebrated this week, but eligited scarcely any attention. At the Broadway Tabernacle, where the occasion was celebrated, there was scarcely three hundred people. The reason why so little interest was taken in the affair was, I fancy, because there was too much Wilcox in it. One Albert Wilcox was chairman, and Hamilton Wilcox Secretary. The latter is a kind of disagreeable personage that haunts newspaper offices, always has someism on hand, interferes with other people, gets up meetings which no one attends, and is I believe the sole male member of an association for the increase of women's rights It is a fact here, in Los Angeles county, as elsewhere, that the premiums do not do much to encourage agricultural exhibits. The premiums for agriculture and horticulture formerly have aggregated, in favored years, to $2,000. This year they reach about $200. That premiums influence exhibits is shown by the example of a Los Angeles canning concern last year, which refused to exhibit on the ground that the premiums would not pay for anyone to watch the goods after they were placed. A significant fact came out in connection with this circumstance. An official of the canning concern was urged that the exhibit would be an advertisement. "We do not want an advertisement," he said, "for we have now all the business we can attend to."—Correspondence Bulletin. W. G. Kingsbury, the European Agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad, about a month since advertised a public meeting at Carlow, Ireland, for the purpose of delivering a discourse on California with a view of directing emigration to this State. The attendance on the occasion is said to have been quite large, and considerable interest in the subject was manifested by many who were present. In response to invitations, numerous pertinent questions were asked, and apparently answered to the satisfaction of the querists. At the close of the meeting, the Illustrated Guide Book of California, issued by the Pacific Coast Land Bureau, was gratuitously distributed. "No You Haven't." A customer asked a druggist in the city of San Jose, Cal., for a bottle of Ammen's Cough Syrup. The druggist examined his shelf and found he was out of it, and said: "We generally keep it, but are out of it; but have other preparations just as good or better." The customer replied, "No you haven't; Ammen's Cough Syrup saved my life—I not only believe, I know it—and there is no use to try to sell me something else, for I won't have anything but that!" At the Broadway Tabernacle, where the occasion was celebrated, there was scarcely three hundred people. The reason why so little interest was taken in the affair was, I fancy, because there was too much Wilcox in it. One Albert Wilcox was chairman, and Hamilton Wilcox, Secretary. The latter is a kind of disagreeable personage that haunts newspaper offices, always has someism on hand, interferes with other people, gets up meetings which no one attends, and is I believe the sole male member of anassociation for the increase of women's rights and female suffrage. No wonder that under such auspices the event which it was attempted to celebrate was a failure. The American Institute Fair was opened last Wednesday, at present of course everything is in confusion, and it will take a week before the chaos will approach some sort of order. The Art Schools were opened this week and it was really remarkable to see the number of new applicants. "The life classes will be particularly well attended this year," said a Professor at the National Academy of Design to me. It struck me that it was about time, American artists have thus far done but little except landscapes, and now and then a bit of genre. They seemed to lack a knowledge of any tastes for the study and portrayal of the human form divine. The new departure this year promises better things for the future. The Sensation of the Age. Every season has its sensation. If it is not one thing it is another and so the world moves on. When Jenny Lind came to this country and commanded $695 for a single-reserved seat the people were amazed. But more astonishing things than that have happened since then, not the least of which was the introduction of Swayne's Pills for the general improvement of the human system. They are good for almost every complaint, but are indispensable for Costiveness. Liver troubles, Sick Headache and otherailments of a depressing character. Baggagemaster (to old lady who has been causing him a great deal of unnecessary trouble); "Well, mum, I just wish you was an elephant and then you'd always have your trunk right under your eyes." "Revenge is too dearly purchased at the price of liberty." Is it a disordered liver giving you a yellow skin or coative bowels, or do your kidneys refuse to perform their functions? If so take a few doses of Kidney-Wort and nature will restore each organ, ready for duty. Thus health will be cheaply purchased at the price of Kidney-Wort.
