Ron's comet, now visible through the telescope, had only one tail when last seen in 1812, and now it has two such ap pendages. It took a war to free the colored people of the South. It may take another war to fully free the Southern white people. If need be—let it come. Give us liberty or give us death—Richmond Whig. Rhetorical bombast like the above is much affected by Southern writers, but everybody understands that paragraphs like the one quoted, though full of sound and fury, signify nothing. CONGRESSMAN TULLY of this district has presented in the House resolutions adopted by the Board of Trade of Los Angeles asking for an appropriation to erect a postoffice and courthouse there. He proposes to introduce a bill to make Los Angeles a judicial district. This county is now home of so many people of wealth and influence, that there is every reason to hope that the claims of Los Angeles for public buildings will receive a recognition which they could not have secured some years ago. The St. Helena Star has the following statements concerning grape refuse: On driving out through Krugu's Friday, we found a vibrating sieve rigged up on a movable frame, out in the vineyard, to which they were hauling the pomace, and vigorously sifting out the seeds from the pomace. On inquiring as to the purpose, the operator informed us that the seeds were used in India for the manufacture of gold coloring matter. That Mexican School. Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 2, 1884. Ed. Gazette: I have before me a copy of the last issue of the Gazette which contains among the Kleinigkeiten an article in reference to the Mexican school that Rev. J. M. Roberts proposes to establish at Anaheim. The object of the article is to call public attention to the scheme and to ask that it be not encouraged, and this on the ground that it would prove injurious to the public school, inasmuch as, by taking away some of the Mexican scholars, it would reduce the school fund now apportioned to that district. As one of Mr. Roberts collaborers in the Missionary work among our native population, and as the originator and most enthusiastic supporter of the scheme, I beg your permission to say a few words in reply. The argument presented in the article above alluded to seems, at first sight, quite strong, and strongly it seems to appeal to the patriotism of every American citizen in general, and of the Anaheim citizens in particular. Some of our own friends have made the same objection when discussing the subject. Yet, when we have land before them in full our views and plans they have invariably been converted to our side. The fact is that it is only at host sight that the argument seems strong. It does not bear close examination. What are the facts? We have in our county over five thousand Mexican inhabitants. The public schools have been in operation for years and years, and from the beginning they have been open to Mexican children. Nevertheless, only about two in ten of the masses of the Mexican population know how to read and write. Why is this so? Will the author of the article we are answering please reply? When the plan of establishing a Mission among the Mexicans of Southern California was first talked of, our ecclesiastical boards argued that the church should not be burdened with such a separate and distinctive work.

The St. Helena Star has the following statements concerning grape refuse: On driving out through Kruger, Friday, we found a vibrating sieve rigged up on a movable frame, out in the vineyard, to which they were hauling the pomace, and vigorously sifting out the seeds from the pomace. On inquiring as to the purpose, the operator informed us that the seeds were used in India for the manufacture of gold coloring matter. He expects to get out 50 to 60 centals, which will be shipped from San Francisco to Madras. It is said that this color can be made only in India, though the same materials may be had elsewhere. Besides this coloring matter, Mr. Pabstmann informs us that the pomace contains, also, the material for illuminating gas, as has already been demonstrated by experiment elsewhere, and that he designs presently to try its manufacture at Mr. Krug's place.

The Philadelphia Times says that the past year has been the most disastrous ever known in the history of the American insurance business. The losses will exceed $100,000.000. Many of the large foreign and home companies represented in Philadelphia express the utmost anxiety regarding the future of the insurance business. They say that the losses have increased to such an alarming extent that a thorough revision of the rates has been deemed necessary. An association composed of the Philadelphia representatives of all the companies doing business there met to consider means for increasing the premiums. The agent of one of the largest foreign companies said: "The number of fires that have occurred in this country within the past year would surprise you. The losses have been constant and increasing. They will aggregate $100,000.000. It is true there has not been any great conflagration like that at Chicago or Portland or those at Boston, but the vast total has been made by The public schools have been in operation for years and years, and from the beginning they have been open to Mexican children. Nevertheless, only about two in ten of the masses of the Mexican population know how to read and write. Why is this so? Will the author of the article we are answering please reply? Which the plan of establishing a Mission among the Mexicans of Southern California was first talked of, our ecclesiastical boards argued that the church should not be burdened with such a separate and distinctive work. There are our American churches—let the Mexicans attend them and become Americanized as well as Christianized. But we replied: "Our American evangelical churches have been established in Southern California for years and years, yet they have proved unable to reach the Mexicans." Is this not sufficient proof that they cannot reach the Mexicans, that in all probability they never will and that something else is needed? Then we gave our reasons why the American churches had not succeeded in reaching the Mexican population, and explained what, in our opinion, was needed. Our Boards were convinced and the Mission was established. And it is so also in regard to the schools. The fact that the great masses of our native population remain in the most absolute and lamentable illiteracy is a sufficient proof that something else is needed. Nor are the reasons difficult to find. Our public schools are—and that surely is nothing against them—thoroughly American in their origin, plan methods and purpose; and the Mexican population remains as thoroughly Mexican to-day as it was fifty years ago. In the public schools all the branches are taught in English and only in English, whilst a large majority of the Mexican children, especially in the smaller settlements, speak nothing but Spanish. Again, the public schools have been chiefly designed and adapted for children that have been brought up under certain home influences, and suppose a certain amount of discipline and knowledge on the part of beginners. Consequently when Mexican children attend these schools and come in contact with American children they find that they are not well prepared, and being naturally modest, become painfully aware of the strangeness of their situation. Add to this the feeling that most of our Mexicans have (whether with or without foundation it is not necessary new to stop to diseases) that Americans look down upon them and slight them whenever the opportunity is afforded, and no one will be surprised that so few Mexican children attend our public schools. It is evident then, that what is needed is a bridge that will connect the Mexican rising generation as they are with our public schools as they are. Mr. Roberts' school at Anaheim and others that we intend to establish elsewhere will furnish that bridge. They will, therefore, be helps not hindrances to the public schools.

The way of the transgressor is hard. The truth of that saying finds ample illustration every day in the occurrences printed in the papers. The following telegram records the miserable end of a man personally known to many of our readers. He dearly paid for the consummate folly of which he was guilty: PORTLAND, Dec. 30.—A. J. Hamilton died yesterday at the hospital of consumption, aged thirty-two. The deceased turns out to be the man who, several years ago, was elected County Treasurer of Los Angeles, and fled a defaulter to the extent of $8000. His career has been a checkered one since he became a fugitive from justice. He went to Mexico, but was betrayed, arrested and lodged in jail at Mazatlan, which point he had succeeded in reaching after enduring untold hardships. Before he could be extradited he made his escape and wandered an outcast, almost without food or water, over rough mountains across sun-parched plains, to Tehuantepec. There he worked on the railroad a short time. He soon embarked on a small schooner and sailed to Coos Bay, stopping there some time, a fugitive. Finally he made his way over the mountains and reached Portland, giving the name of Graham. Broken down in health, penniless and friendless, Hamilton was sent to the poor-house, and, falling seriously sick, he was removed to the hospital, where he lingered until yesterday. Until very recently his identity remained unknown and unsuspected. His wife was with him at the time of his death. Henry Barbridge, 100 years and 4 months old, died Wednesday at the Mariner's Home, Portland, Oregon. He was a native of Southampton, England, and for the past seven years has been janitor of the Mariner's church. It is evident then, that what is needed is a bridge that will connect the Mexican rising generation as they are with our public schools as they are. Mr. Roberts' school at Anaheim and others that we intend to establish elsewhere will furnish that bridge. They will, therefore, be helps not hindrances to the public schools. The Anaheim public school may at first lose a few scholars on account of Mr. Roberts' Mexican school, but it will gain ten times that many in the not distant future, for it is an important part of our work to fit the Mexican children for the public schools, and to encourage them to do so when they are ready. Mr. Roberts' school will become the nursery of the public school. If the friends of the Anaheim public school understand their own interests, they will give Mr. Roberts every encouragement in his praiseworthy undertaking. Presbyterian ministers have always been among the strongest upholders and supporters of public education, and the Anaheim people may rest assured that they do not intend to belie their good name in the present instance. Moreover, Mr. Roberts and his worthy wife are cautious as well as zealous workers, and may be implicitly trusted. By all means give them a lift. Respectfully yours, CHAS. BRANSBY. [C. W. Moores, the principal of the Anaheim Public School, asked us to discourage the scheme because it would cripple the usefulness of the school by withdrawing scholars, with the consequent loss of revenue. We hope that, in a communication to the GAZETTE, Mr. Moores will reply to the very able and courteous argument presented above.]—Ed. GAZETTE.

Dr. A. Blankenborn, one of Germany's greatest ampelographical authorities, states that it is advisable with vine cuttings, just as with other plants, not to take them for planting from vines of the region where the vineyard is situated, but from a neighboring district. The same oenologist states that the area of destroyed and infested vineyards in France is six times that of the vineyards existing in Germany, which latter is calculated at 120,000 hectares. The percentage of vineyards destroyed by phylloxera in France is 17% of the entire area planted in vines. Many of the Taylor seedlings planted in 1874 and 1875 at Blankenhornsberg have no fruit. These vines bring forth male blossoms only. It is asserted that a seedling yielding in the first years a fruit of little sweetness will be continued intensive cultivation, bring forth a sweeter grape. The cuttings from these vines will in their turn bear still better fruit than that of the seedling direct. This improvement in the cuttings will involve a decrease of resistant faculty, and it is supposed that all vines, the Americans not excluded, will by continued intensive cultivation lose gradually their resistance. Already now some French oenologists report the loss of their resistant power of American vines bitherto considered phylloxera proof. Chicago, Jan. 2. — A Toronto dispatch has the following: At 7 o'clock this morning a suburban train bearing about fifty men to their work at Humber was run into by a special train coming east at frightful speed. The dummy engine was driven into the car used for suburban traffic, and the escaping steam and hot water scalded the men in the most horrible manner.

A Toronto dispatch has the following: At 7 o'clock this morning a suburban train bearing about fifty men to their work at Humber was run into by a special train coming east at frightful speed. The dummy engine was driven into the car used for suburban traffic, and the escaping steam and hot water scalded the men in the most horrible manner. A fire also resulted from the collision, and several of the poor fellows were roasted to death. A special was run out to the scene of the disaster from here as quickly as possible, and the unfortunates were conveyed to town, where ambulances, busses and private carriages carried them to the hospital. There were twenty-seven killed outright, and twenty-two wounded, some of them fatally. The men were packed in the car sitting around the stove chatting about the New Year's holiday, pleasures, etc. The scenes at the accident were most pitiful. Men, with the most horribly mutilated human bodies, were mingled with the wreck. The suffering was terrible and the groans from the injured heart-rending. Several men had their legs tangled in the wreck, and while their bodies were protruding from the burning pile, their legs were being gradually roasted. Others, who had been scalded and afterwards extracted, implored those standing about to throw water on their wounds. One man had both of his eyes burned out and all the fingers burned off. He lay dying in the snow, waving the stump of his hand and shouting at the top of his voice. BIDDEFORD (Me.), Dec. 31. Several pools of blood on the snow on Sunday morning led to the belief that a murder had been committed on the previous night. In this connection Dr. Gaton says he was called on Saturday night by two men, who wanted him to go with them. They refused to give their names. When they reach Franklin street they bandaged his eyes. After traversing several streets they entered a house. The doctor was led into an uncarpeted bedroom, where he was locked in, the men leaving him. Here he found a young woman, with a deep gash extending from the right ear down to the throat. She was extremely low from the loss of blood. She said: "Doctor, for God's sake save my life." He feared she would die while he was there and does not think she could have lived more than five minutes longer without medical attention. After bandaged her wounds the doctor knocked at the door, which was opened. He was immediately taken to another room, where he found a man with a cut from the nostril to the mouth. After treating this patient he was taken back to Franklin street, blindfolded, where the men left him. They were out of sight before he could unbandage his eyes. Mr. J. D. Lynch, editor of the Herald, appeared before County Clerk Potts, with Mr. A. H. Dennis, who solemnly swore that Albert Johnson, a young negro of Watsonville, and Miss Lizzy Shade, a white girl of Sacramento, at present a servant in the same place, were married Tuesday. The affair is the general topic of conversation. Miss Shade is a prepossessing young woman of 26 years, lady-like in appearance, and her strange infatuation cannot be accounted for. Secretary Teller has decided the case of Mathias Stone vs. Manuel Barnegos and William Holloron, involving a homestead entry in the Los Angeles district. He awards to Stone and Barnegos a joint cash entry of the tract in dispute, directing that it either fails to unite within ninety days from notice, the tract will be awarded to the other. As Holloron had no improvements on the tract, his entry as to it will be canceled. Cooperative stores, under the auspices of the Knights of Labor, will be established in San Francisco. The success with which the cooperative system has met in England prompted the movement. Only Knights of Labor in good standing are eligible for membership. The capital stock is $100,000, in 10,000 shares. The plan of organization and mode of operation are similar to those of Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institution, long established in Utah. Charles Geary, a native of Germany and a pioneer of the Pacific Coast, was found dead Wednesday morning six miles from Eureka, Nevada. Geary has been running a boarding-house in Secret Canyon for the Bertrand Mining Company. He came to Eureka on business Tuesday and left for home the same night on horseback. It is supposed the horse threw him and he was frozen to death. He was forty seven years old and has wealthy relatives in San Francisco and Oakland. Word was received at Eureka, Nevada, on the 3d inst., that four men, Mike Regan, C. Loofburrow, H. Loofler and Jack Moran, got lost in the Palisade mountains, ninety miles north of Eureka, and narrowly escaped being frozen to death. They were brought to Eureka and placed in the county hospital. All the men except Moran will have some of their limbs amputated. Loofburrow's life is despaired of. The men had been locating mining claims. A Portland (Oregon) dispatch says: The Mortgage-Tax law, which passed the Legislature in 1882 and which provides for the taxing of mortgages in counties where they are recorded, has been carried to the United States Courts. The State Supreme Court decided that the law was valid, and now comes the Dundee Land and Investment Company and asks the United States Court for an injunction to restrain the Sheriffs of all counties from collecting taxes thus assessed, on the ground that the taxes are unlawfully assessed. A decision in this case will involve a decision as to the validity of health insurance. It is supposed that she poisoned five of her own children. Representative Bland has had an interview with Burchard, Director of the Mint, in regard to the number of trade dollars now in circulation. The latter expressed an opinion that between five and six millions were out and in the hands of tradesmen and the people generally instead of being in the possession of speculators. The remainder of the 35,000,000 originally counted is thought to have been exported or remelted. Bland says it is questionable whether the Government having issued the trade dollar with the stamp of the Government upon it, could not be required to take it for Government dues at the nominal value of one dollar. About three miles from Leetonia, Columbia county Ohio, Louis Griffith, a prominent farmer, requested his son Stanley, aged 17 years, to chop some wood. The boy objected to working on New Year's Day and left the house. Mr. Griffith followed him and met him in the woods near the house; where a quarrel ensued, in which young Griffith drew his revolver and deliberately shot his father through the heart. He then dropped the revolver by the side of his murdered parent; went to the house and told his mother that his father had committed suicide. The boy's hands were stained by the blood of his victim and he was suspected at once, but he made his escape. It was found on examination of the body that Mr. Griffith could not have shot himself. A search is being made for the youthful murderer. The New York Herald says: We print an interview with a friend of Henry Villard concerning the relation of that gentleman to the Northern Pacific and its kindred corporations. The circumstance that the reporter was referred by Villard to this gentleman for an authoritative statement gives a report sanction which conflicts with some of the Wall street rumors. The following passages are from the interview: "Villard is ruined in his private fortune. All is gone to help great enterprise he has been at the head of. There can be no question of his conscientiousness and integrity, for which he has voluntarily sacrificed his private means to support the Northern Pacific. His stocks, bonds and two residences all are involved in the wreck. He has saved nothing. He never was so rich as was reported." He was not worth ten millions. Five millions was nearer the figure." "Has Villard resigned the presidency?" "Yes; his resignation is in the hands of the directors." Church Notes. There will be preaching in the Presbyterian church to-morrow at 11 A.M. and 7:30 P.M. Praise Service at 7 P.M. All are invited. Services will be held in St Michael's Episcopal church every Sunday morning and After bandaged her wounds the doctor knocked at the door, which was opened. He was immediately taken to another room, where he found a man with a cut from the nostril to the mouth. After treating this patient he was taken back to Franklin street, blindfolded, where the men left him. They were out of sight before he could unbandage his eyes. Mr. J. D. Lynch, editor of the Herald, appeared before County Clerk Potts, with Mr. A. H. Dennis, who solemnly swore that he would drink no more intoxicating liquors for three months from data. The document was legally drawn up and duly signed by witnesses and placed on file. This is an excellent resolve for the new year, and it is to be hoped that the editor of the Express will faithfully carry out his good intentions. Republican. The marriage of Judge Sepulveda on the 12th of last month to Miss Erlinda De la Guerra, of San Buenaventura, seems to have been a very quiet affair, as the news of the ceremony has certainly not been generally circulated in this city. Miss De la Guerra is a scion of one of the oldest families in Southern California and an amiable lady. The trip of the Judge to Mexico turns out to be his bridal tour. Post-Office Letter List.
