WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...NOV. 24, 1883 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. The best evidence that a Presidential election is in the near future can be found in the outrage stories from the South that are beginning to sprinkle the telegraphic columns of the newspapers. It is said that in Chicago there are made daily 250,000 pounds of sausages, which if linked together would reach a length of 36,000 feet. If this linked meatness were long drawn out for a whole year it would make a line stretching almost from the Atlantic to the Pacific. MOZOOMDAR, the Hindoo preacher, said in a discourse in San Francisco last Sunday that he hoped and believed the time was not far distant when good men of all nations and races and forms of religious faith would cease to contend with each other about non-essentials and become practically one. Hindos are a very sanguine race. The attempt to introduce barbed fence wire into England is likely to prove a failure. The sportmen, you know, object to it because their hounds get impaled upon the blarsted thing. And as it is much more important that the hunters shall have undisturbed fun rather than that the poor devil of a farmer shall have the benefit of this modern improvement, it is not likely that the barbed wire will be extensively used in England for many a day. The cremationists of San Francisco have met with a rebuff. They organized a society, but the Board of Health refused to grant them permission to build a crematory. It always has been the case that reforms of old and long-established methods have met with determined opposition, which, somehow or other, is always overcome in the end. So it will be with cremation. It will yet be the accepted and popular mode of disposing of the dead. A NUMBER OF army officers have expressed THE GAZETTE'S PICTURE GALLERY. GEN. WILLIAM T. SHERMAN. William Tecumseh Sherman retired from the generalship of the United States Army on the first of November. He has grown old in wars and while his country regrets the loss of his services it cannot insist that he should longer suffer the cares and responsibilities of the position. He is succeeded by the distinguished warrior General Phillip Henry Sheridan. General Sherman is a native of the State of Ohio, and was born at Lancaster, on the 8th of February, 1820. He was graduated at West Point in his twenty-first year, and saw military service in Florida and the war with Mexico and elsewhere, before resigning his commission in the year 1853. Upon his retirement from the army he began business in San Francisco, as a banker, and continuing this vocation four years, including a residence in New York city. From 1857 to 1859 he practiced law in Leavenworth, Kansas. During the succeeding time up to the secession of the State from the Union, he acted as Superintendent of the Louisiana Military Academy. His resignation took place in January, 1861, and was almost immediately followed by his return to the army. The civil war gave Sherman the opportunity of distinguished service, and placed him in the first rank of living generals. His first commission was that of colonel of a regiment of infantry. At the battle of Bull Run he commanded a brigade of volunteers, and was made brigadier general of volunteers. After serving a short time in the camp of instruction at St. Louis, he took part in the campaign conducted in the States.

They organized a society, but the Board of Health refused to grant them permission to build a crematory. It always has been the case that reforms of old and long-established methods have met with determined opposition, which, somehow or other, is always overcome in the end. So it will be with cremation. It will yet be the accepted and popular mode of disposing of the dead. A number of army officers have expressed the opinion that Sergeant Mason, who fired an unsuccessful shot at Guteau while that worthy was in jail, ought to be pardoned; but they give the singular reason that, as there are many superior officers guilty of greater offenses who escape punishment, Mason ought not to suffer. There are more cogent reasons than that why he should be released. His sole offense, in the opinion of millions of people, consisted in making such a very poor shot, and surely he has been punished enough for that. A. J. Donnelly, a wealthy, charitable and popular young man of San Francisco, died last week of quick consumption. He was a juror in the case of Gray, the embezzling Secretary of the Harbor Commissioners, and contracted a severe cold in the jury room. The cold developed into pulmonary consumption, with the result stated. The Gazette last week noted the serious illness of one of our citizens, and the cause of his sickness was the same as in the case of Donnelly. The thankless task of a juror entails enough that is disagreeable and unprofitable to entitle him to receive such comforts as will preclude the possibility of his contracting disease. Miss Juliet Corson, the distinguished professor of culinary reform, in a lecture delivered to the young ladies of Harmon Seminary, Oakland, on her favorite topic, said: "I think the wives and daughters who fail to give their husbands and sons palatable, nourishing and attractively prepared food are offering them an inducement to seek stimulants their home meals did not supply. I am not in favor of total abstinence, but I am in favor of temperance, which is quite another thing. I do not believe that the drinking of light wines is injurious to the body, but on the contrary beneficial, when drank, of course, temperately. I believe that light wines are the greatest aid to temperance in the matter of drinking; and it is the result of my observation that men who habitually drink light wines seldom care for stronger alcoholic drink." The meeting at which Miss Corson gave utterance to these views was presided over by Prof. Hilgard of the State University, who took occasion to express his belief in vegetarianism, and referred to "a vegetarian colony in Southern California." The Professor has been misled; there is no vegetarian colony in Southern California. The attempt PITTSBURG, Nov. 20. — Patrick William O'Brien, the Irish giant, and Christina D. Dermz, the German giantess, were married in this city-to-day. The ceremony was performed at the Emanuel church. During the succeeding time up to the secession of the State from the Union, he acted as Superintendent of the Louisiana Military Academy. His resignation took place in January, 1861, and was almost immediately followed by his return to the army. The civil war gave Sherman the opportunity of distinguished service, and placed him in the first rank of living generals. His first commission was that of colonel of a regiment of infantry. At the battle of Bull Run he commanded a brigade of volunteers, and was made brigadier general of volunteers. After serving a short time in the camp of instruction at St. Louis, he took part in the campaign conducted in the States of Tennessee and Mississippi during which he was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general of the regular army. In October, 1863, he succeeded General Grant as commander of the army department of the Tennessee. When, in March, 1864, General Grant was made lieutenant-general and commander of all the Union forces, Sherman succeeded him as commander of the military division of the Mississippi. This included the entire Southwest, and his appointment gave him command of more than a 100,000 effective troops with whom to operate against General J. E. Johnston. He began the invasion of Georgia on the 2d of May, 1865, making his advance movement at the same time with that of Gen. Grant in the east. His forces were superior in number to those of the Confederate general, who, however, stubbornly contested the advance at every possible point. There was much hard fighting between the two armies, and it was not until September 2d, that Atlanta was captured by Major General Sherman, but then newly promoted to this rank. He occupied the city with his army for ten weeks, when he commenced his march to the sea, having previously dispatched some forty thousand men under General Thomas to repel General Hood's advance into Tennessee. His remaining forces consisted of sixty thousand men, more or less. In less than a month they had marched three hundred miles without resistance. His first fight was at Fort McAllister, below Savannah, the surrender of which strong-old preceeded that of Savannah by eight days. In the middle of January, 1865, General Sherman began his invasion of the Carolinas. His march through South Carolina last six weeks. In North Carolina he encountered considerable opposition, and fought two pitched battles. Goldsboro' was occupied on the 22d of March, 1865; Raleigh, on 13th of April. On the 25th of April, General Johnston surrendered his army to Sherman on the same terms as had been granted to General Lee by General Grant. This surrender virtually closed the war. General Sherman continued in command of the military division of the Mississippi a year after the end of the hostilities, with the rank of major general in the regular army. He was promoted to lieutenant general when in July, 1866, Grant had been made general of the army. His command continued as before. Sherman succeeded Grant as general of the army in March, 1869, after the election of the latter to the presidency. He spent part of 1871 and 1872 abroad, in Europe and the East. Upon his return he made his headquarters at Washington; but removed to St. Louis in 1874. General Sherman contributed to the historical literature of the United States by the publication of his memoirs, in 1875.

The meeting at which Miss Corson gave utterance to these views was presided over by Prof. Hilgard of the State University, who took occasion to express his belief in vegetarianism, and referred to "a vegetarian colony in Southern California." The Professor has been misled; there is no vegetarian colony in Southern California. The attempt to establish one proved a failure, and some of the fraternity have backslid into the ranks of the breeaters. Dr. Stocker, the Jew baiter, who was prevented from delivering his lecture in London, has made his defense before the St. Stephen's Club. He says the Jews are trying to control the public affairs of Germany, and that the Liberal press is completely in their hands. They have invented lies to destroy their enemies, and said that Dr. Stocker had left his mother to starve. They caricatured the Synod of the Evangelical Church, and said Christian schools were the homes of hypocrisy, wickedness and stupidity. They trampled on Christian believers, the churches and ministers of the Gospel, and maintained ed that the German army and religion were to blame for the prevalence of suicide. Moreover, the Jews were mostly Radicals, opposing the politics of the Emperor and of Bismarck, and the inner life of Germany. There was great danger to the State in an alliance of the Democratic party with the Jews. The number of German Jews was very large. There were more Jews in Berlin than in all Great Britain. They aggravated competition, and almost nine-tenths of the stockbrokers were Jews, and Jews had caused all the recent smashes. Jews were the source of peril to the peasants. They were ruining agriculture by usury. The historian Treitechke said: "The Jews are our distress." "For myself," added Stocker, "if the Jews still continue the pursuit of their ambitious aims, I shall continue to fight them for the sake of Christ and of my Fatherland." Pittsburg, Nov. 20. — Patrick William O'Brien, the Irish giant, and Christina D. Dermz, the German giantess, were married in this city to-day. The ceremony was performed in German at the Evangelical church and was witnessed by a numerous concourse of people, including the Mayor and Council of Pittsburg. The Mayor of Allegheny, John McCullough, the Aztee Indians, dwarfs and the snake charmer were also present. Outside of the church the crowd gathered in such numbers as to obstruct traffic in spite of the efforts of a large force of police. O'Brien wore a full dress suit, and a medal presented to him by the Land League ornamented his breast. The bride wore an orange blossom wreath, and a veil that covered a superb dress of white satin. After the service the bridal party drove at office to the Museum and held a public reception. The wedding cake is the largest ever made, measuring nine feet in circumference and three feet in thickness. A giant loaf of bread, five feet long, will decorate the table. This was the first marriage of giants in America, and the second in the world. The combined height of the bridal pair is fifteen feet three inches, and they tip the beam at five hundred and forty-nine pounds. The wedding ring weighed seventeen pennyweights and was five inches in circumference. The Milwankee Sentinel publishes a tabulated statement of the loss of life and property in the series of gales from Nov. 11th to 17th, showing a loss of fifty-five lives and sixty vessels. Only eleven of the latter, representing about 6000 tons and valued at over $300,000, have been relieved. Twenty-six, representing 9000 tons and a value of $400,000, are total losses. This morning he went to George Powell, soon after that had gone to his work.

A man started at once for town and organized a party to strange creature and rescue them soon struck a trail, and after four about five miles, came upon the boy, whose brains had been against a tree. Two of the people to Powell's with the child and timed the search for the man, accounts they had not succeeding him. There are several those who he is. Some think he is or derers who escaped from the Penitentiary some months ago; he is a madman. All know hisous character and must be killed.

The Napa Register says it is now eight years since the first patient was admitted to the insane asylum. During that time 4,158 patients have been admitted, 2,127 have been discharged, 709 died, 47 escaped, leaving in the asylum now 1,275. William Howsden, a carpenter, sixty years ago, who recently arrived in San Francisco from Los Angeles, jumped into the bay off Long Bridge. He was rescued. He noted that he wanted to take his life, as he too old and had outlived his usefulness. A dead coyote was found in a tree a few miles from San Diego the other day, and on examination it was found that the animal had come wedged in the fork of the tree and led to starvation. Every effort to free itself resulted in imprisoning itself more severely.

New York, November 19.—The picture a correspondent of the Times draws of social and political conditions in the Territory of Wyoming is dark and gloomy. It is estimated that five-sixths of the population of the Territory live in the string of towns lying along the line of the Union Pacific Railroad. The people generally are intelligent and progressive. The leading citizens of Cheyenne and other places are rich, traveled, dressed, gossipy, virtuous and well housed. The unpleasing side of the picture cannot be told in a few words. Cheyenne has thirty infamous houses, forty licensed whisky shops and nine gambling rooms where gambling is openly advertised and carried on; the County Jail is an iron cage, unfit for the confinement of human creatures, and there are no poorhouses. The political system may be described as indecent and corrupt. Primary elections are farcical and regular elections held under the organized law of the Territory are a burlesque. These facts are collected by the correspondent of the Times, with a view to ascertain what influences upon the American political system is exerted by women who have right to vote. Female suffrage has existed in Wyoming since 1869. As a matter of fact women are now never seen in the jury box and do not ask for or obtain office. Their share in popular suffrage is contained in occasionally voting and administering the laws, making nominations, formulating political platforms or taking the stump in the election canvass. By the enfranchisement of women, writes this stern political moralist, corruption, trickery, fraud and vice as political forces already existing, have been re-enforced by weakness, indifference, ignorance, cowardice and imbecility. [The above views are entirely at variance with reports previously published, and are doubtless inspired by prejudice. As well might it be said that the sun's glory intensifies the darkness, as that the enfranchisement of women would impurify the political or social system. Whatever evils exist in Wyoming Territory are due to other causes than woman suffrage.—Ed.

He always appeared dressed in skins and was ever known to speak. He was of gigantic nature and ferocious aspect and has been aerror to the community. Several attempts have been made to capture him, but without success. It is supposed he lives in one of the numerous caves in the vicinity.

PENDLETON (Og.), Nov. 21. — Yesterday a heavy explosion occurred in Union county, near Five Points, resulting in very serious injury to one white man and a Chinaman. A gang of railroad men were engaged blasting the roadway at Dry Creek. The weather was very cold, and a quantity of giant powder froze. A white man named Welsh, and a Chinaman, placed about twenty pounds near the camp fire to dry, and it caught fire and exploded; hurling both men over fifty feet. Neither was killed, but both were horribly burned and bruised. It is thought both will die. Another man was blown over a high embankment, but escaped with slight bruises. The British brig Louisa Corpel of Yarmouth arrived at Newport, R. L., on the 20th after most tempestuous weather, the waves washing over the vessel from stem to stern. The Captain and his two officers decided to tap some barrels of fish oil which were on deck, and a number of holes were bored into them so that a stream of oil flowed into the sea. The effect was almost instantaneous, the vessel drifting about six points to leeward, leaving the oil to windward. The Captain says: "In three quarters of an hour the waves had almost ceased breaking over the vessel, and but for the oil on board we must have been lost." NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. For Sale.

No epidemics have visited us and the death-rate has been light. Scores of substantial business edifices have been erected to meet the pressing wants of the people, and many of them are large structures. In the city six churches have been constructed and many hundreds of new dwellings, but not enough to meet the demand. Several miles of first-class street railroad have been called into existence by the demands of the passenger traffic, the telegraphic and telephone business has nearly doubled in twelve months and the wires of the latter have been extended to all principal points in the county. Our population, which was less than 12,000 in 1880, the most careful estimates now put at not less than 20,000. Trade in all the branches of building material has been very good; skilled labor has been in great demand and well-paid. Grocers and clothiers have had a prosperous year. The agricultural interests on the whole have been well sustained. Our grain crop in some sections was light, but, on the whole, may be rated above fair, with good prices. The yield of our vines was good, but possibly hardly an average, but the increased acreage gave us an increased aggregate. Other fruits were mixed, many being light. Oranges were abundant; the peaches in some localities light; dairy products have ruled high, and local production has largely increased. The future, as to building and population, is very promising. The orange crop will be higher than last year, but of a better fruit, and higher prices will prevail. As to general crops, predictions must be suspended until the rainfall enables us to judge of their value. New School.
