WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY. FEB. 9, 1884 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. "This political ostrich, while desperately attempting to hide its head in the sand, etc." — Times. Stash that metaphor! Ostriches don't hide their heads in the sand. Under the caption "Republican Probabilities," the New York Sun says: "For President, John Sherman of Ohio. For Vice President, John F. Hartranft of Pennsylvania. Platform Protection to American Industry; Civil Rights for Enamelled Citizens." The Platform is better than the Men. The latest convert to anti Masonic ranks is dead. He died on February 1st at Nevada city. He was hanged. His name was Collins, and his crime comprised the robbery of a stage coach in 1879 and the murder of William F. Cummings, a passenger who attempted to defend the coach against attack. Collins made a speech on the scaffold exorbitating the detectives who worked up the case against him, and the Masonic fraternity who spurred the detectives to activity. A Legislative Committee is investigating the various officials of New York city, and some very queer facts are elicited. The County Clerk says that he paid Tammany Hall $7,500 for the nomination and expended $30,000 in incidentals previous to his election. He also explained that among the "incidentals" was the buying of votes. Inasmuch as the Clerk's fees, salary and perquisites amount to over $90,000 a year, it is evident that he has not paid too much for the "posish." The Marquis of Queensbury is a title which is familiar to most people chiefly because of certain rules governing prize rights which that particular and literary nobleman promulgated years ago. The present Marquis, being also desirous of getting notoriety, and not being sufficiently developed physically- Sausage as an Ornament. Next to the diamond the sapphire takes rank among the precious stones, because of its exceeding hardness and its rarity. It received its name from the Greeks; the name being given to girls born as emblematic of purity, constancy and truth. It was sacred to Zeus, and was worn on the breasts, subsequently, of Jewish priests. If it lost its lustre, the character of its possessor was also lost. By a singular coincidence the wife of Ananas was Sapphira. Pope Innocent III once sent a present of five rings to King John of England, with a letter in which he said that the gold one signified "wisdom," the green of the emerald "faith," the blue of the sapphire "hope," the red of the ruby "charity," and the yellow of the topaz "good works." He it was who preached the crucade against the Albigenses, but he was profound in the symbolical mysteries of gems. Louis XVI owned a sapphire of peculiar rarity, it having a vein of yellow topaz in the middle, and the Hope sapphire was not long ago sold at a price of fifteen thousand dollars. "Sapphires," so called, may be paste, or they may be partly composed of sausage meat. Certain gems are "seasoned," to use an unscrupulous lapidary's phrase; that is, they are stuffed, like tables turkeys, with sausage. Sausage gives color to the jewel of immediate worth. The sapphire that a lady wears may not necessarily be paste. Genuine stones, yet of little value, are sometimes cut into halves, hollows scooped out and filled with some extraneous matter, and when rejoined the precious stone wears an improved appearance that enhances its reputation in the market. This revealing of a trick of the trade was recently made public during the proceedings of a law suit in London. A witness—a lapidary—testified that many of the "genuine" stones disposed of in the market were a composition of silica, potash, oxide of lead, and borax for "beryls," and an addition of some oxide of cobalt for "sapphires," the mixture being subjected to a fusion of thirty hours. But that business is genuine enough. The products are sold as imitations and as "paste," and the purchaser is not swindled. But when it comes to filling inferior, although not spurious, stones with sausage meat for the purpose of giving them a peculiar color, the case is different.

Morrison Washington, bill introduced to ductions of California "The Marquis of Queensbury is a title which is familiar to most people chiefly because of certain rules governing prize rights which that marquis and literary nobleman promulgated years ago. The present Marquis, being also desirous of getting notoriety, and not being sufficiently developed physically to attain it after the fashion of his ancestor, is seeking the bubble reputation in a peculiar way. He has sent a pamphlet to the Lords and Commons advocating reform in the marriage service to meet the view of secularists. He proposes, in order to meet divorce cases, to leave out "whom God has joined together let no man put asunder," and substituting therefor "when the Government or nature may put asunder let no man attempt to keep together." The Butler and Thurman Club of San Francisco at a recent meeting adopted these peculiar resolutions: Whereas, The course pursued thus far by our Democratic Congress, to wit: In declaring forfeited the Texas Pacific land grant (16,000,000 acres), in the disposition to unearth the Oregon, Union and Central Pacific land steals, in the proposition to inaugurate a tax on capitalistic incomes, in the rapid reduction of the national debt and the cost of Government, and in the pending legislation in regard to business and labor, treasures, fares and postal telegraph, our national Democracy proves its truth—i.e., it is antimonopoly. Therefore, be it Resolved, That while we deplore the Stone-mansizing of California's Democracy, we are proud to declare and affirm our faith in the Democracy of the nation. And be it further Resolved, That since a party should not be held accountable for individual treason, we regard the Democracy of this State as true, brave and faithful. Shackled by its government and sold by its leaders, it has not sinned, but has been sinned against. And be it further Resolved, That to attain a footing of faith and harmony with the national Democracy, as well as to reassure our own rank and file, it is the first duty of California's Democrats to bury the bonds that disgrace, and the leaders who misrepresent the grand old party, of which we are the bone and sinew, blood and brain. Thirteen at Table. The statistical probability of the superstition if thirteen sit down to table one of them will die in the course of the following twelve months is given in a French paper, from which it appears that, to make the death of one of a company scientifically likely in the course of a year, the number of persons present, and their ages, ought to be as follows: Age 10 years 134 45 years 90 15 years 131 50 years 73 20 years 129 55 years 54 25 years 124 60 years 34 30 years 119 65 years 45 35 years 112 70 years 17 M. R. Rose has been boring an artesian well near Arbuckle, Colusa county, on the ranch of Mr. Hymen. The well has been sunk nearly 300 feet, but without striking the desired volume of water. Recently the bottom of the well seemed to give way beneath the pressure of the boring apparatus, and a section of the auger dropped from the clasp in which it was held, and all search has been unavailing in recovering it. But this is not all; a strong gust of air was perceived as soon as the "bottom dropped out" of the well, coming up through the zinc tube, and this current has increased measurably in strength since it began. So strong is the current of air that a piece of board weighing one and one half pounds, placed over the opening, was lifted up by the pressure. The air is alternately cold and warm. The well has been visited by a large number of intelligent gentlemen, who are at a loss to explain this atmospheric phenomena. Sacramento Record Union. CASA GRANDE, Feb. 1. — Yesterday evening a crowd of Mexicans, men and women, together with many Americans, gathered around a well of water upon a question being raised that a child, which was missing, had fallen into the well. A rope was lowered and a man descended, who, after struggling around a few minutes, called loudly to be pulled out, claiming that the current was so strong that it was dragging him under the bank. This establishes the theory that the Santa Cruz river, sinking at Tucson, continues its course through the valley of Casa Grande. Washington Society. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. — Unpleasant incidents happen in Washington society freeway by winding with: "It is thus why the Scriptures say the flesh is weak." The statistical probability of the superstition if thirteen sit down to table one of them will die in the course of the following twelve months is given in a French paper, from which it appears that, to make the death of one of a company scientifically likely in the course of a year, the number of persons present, and their ages, ought to be as follows: Age Persons Age Persons 10 years 124 45 years 90 15 years 131 50 years 73 20 years 129 53 years 54 25 years 124 60 years 34 30 years 119 65 years 85 35 years 112 70 years 17 40 years 108 72 years 13 So that if thirteen persons, each of them 72½ years old, sit down to table, the death of one of them in the course of the following twelve months is a scientific probability. An Optical Illusion. Here is a very singular illustration of the optical delusion which a change of position will sometimes effect. Take a row of ordinary capital letters and figures: SSS SSS XXXXXX3333388888 They are such as are made up of two parts of equal shapes. Look carefully at these, and you will perceive that the upper halves of the characters are a very little smaller than the lower halves—so little that an ordinary eye declares them to be of equal size. Now turn the paper upside down, and without any careful looking, you will see that this difference in size is very much exaggerated; that the real top half of the letter is very much smaller than the bottom half. It will be seen from this that there is a tendency in the eye to enlarge the upper part of any object upon which it looks. During his visit to San Francisco, Mr. Sidney Lacey, as the Los Angeles member of the Democratic State Central Committee, will very earnestly press the proposition to hold the next Democratic State Convention in this city. Our people will undoubtedly take great pleasure in providing that body with suitable facilities free of expense to the visitors. It is high time that Los Angeles should for once be made the scene of the gathering of the Democratic clan. — Herald. Washington Society. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—Unpleasant incidents happen in Washington society frequently, as they do in the society of every other city. This winter, however, there have been more rows than ever known before in society circles. The worthless sons of a few rich men are in the habit of attending receptions, balls and parties, and it is frequently the case that these fellows make their rounds in a condition of absolute drunkenness. At the Russian Minister's last week, one of these little rascals, two-thirds drunk, accosted a lady of his acquaintance in the parlor and testified his admiration of her appearance by biting her several times on the neck and shoulders. The lady screamed with terror and a couple of gentlemen hustled the scamp out of the house, put him in a hack and carried him home. At another house one of the dudish callers was stupidly drunk. He laid down on the sofa and fell asleep. The servants removed the man and the ladies receiving did not appear to be greatly annoyed. Much complaint is made that the county delinquent tax list published in the Times advertises much property as delinquent upon which the taxes have really been paid, and for which the owners hold receipts. Several large property owners find themselves advertised as delinquent, notwithstanding the fact that they paid their taxes in full months ago. It will undoubtedly pay residents of the county to scan the list closely, for, if their property is sold by mistake, it will cause them some inconvenience. — Times. Blackburn has been elected U. S. Senator by the Kentucky Legislature. PACIFIC COAST NEWS. Isolated Santa Barbara was without a mail for six days during the stormy period. It snowed heavily in San Francisco on Wednesday night. At Marysville on the same night two inches of snow lay on the ground. At San Petepe, the five-year old son of Chas. McClure, while running down bill, stumbled and fell on the blade of a pair of sheep shears he was carrying, entering his heart, causing instant death. A Miss Johnson is visiting McDowell, the San Bernardino murderer, frequently in jail, declaring that she wishes she could take his place and suffer the penalty and let him go free. She belongs to the Salvation Army. Henry A. Thornton, a boy seven years old, living with his parents in Oakland, was accidentally killed on Tuesday morning. Mrs. Thornton having given him a spoonful of carbolic acid in mistake for castor oil. The mother is frantic with grief. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Commercial Agency reports failures for the Pacific Coast for the past year as follows: California, 429; Arizona, 36; Nevada, 85; Oregon, 93; Washington Territory, 50. The figures show an increase in numbers and amount of liabilities over last year. James Munson, a drug clerk, of Albina, Oregon, was horse-whipped in Carmine & Co.'s store, by the daughter and wife of C. H. Hill, to the former of whom he had made insulting proposals. Mr. Hill accompanied the two women and kept bystanders from interfering. A country clergyman who recently preached in an Austin church was an admirer of the writings of Charles Dickens, and quotes from his novels almost as often as he does from the Bible. He surprised his congregation by winding up a gorgeous peroration with: "It is thus you see, my brethren, as the Scriptures say, 'Barkis is willin', but the flesh is weak." Morrison's Tariff Bill. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. — Morrison's tariff bill, introduced to-day, affects several productions of California, and, in relation to NEWS OF THE WEEK. The German Emperor is only prevented from going out by the bad weather, and the vision of the "white lady" has turned out to be an inquisitive scullion wandering around in his white jacket and apron. Mrs. Louise Lyman, of Cabot, Mass., made a clothes-line from the combings of her hair. She began the industry in 1829, and made 100 feet of the cord, which the family used for years as clothes-lines. New York City has 2,000 rag pickers, it is said, and their gatherings of rags are valued at $750,000 a year. This is exclusive of the handcart men, who are estimated to do a business of $3,000,000 per annum. William Meagle, an important witness in the Phoenix Park trials, complains that he is made miserable, owing to the continual persecution and frequent assaults which he suffers at the hands of sympathizers with the assassins of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke. Ex-Speaker Keifer pays his respects to H. V. Boynton, the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette, in a letter read to the House Wednesday. In his letter ex-Speaker calls Gen. Boynton a liar, a lobbyist and other pet names, and also intimates that he can lick Boynton. Marquis Demeres, who shipped 12,000 sheep from Wisconsin and Iowa last July to ranges in Montana, reports that fifty-five per cent have died. The animals swell up and bleed at the nose, at death. A post mortem examination discloses an extravasation of blood in the intestines, and is incurable. The disease is neretofore unknown. Both houses of the Legislature have passed the bill to empower the Governor to suppress lawlessness, now rampant in Texas, and giving him $50,000 to use for that object. The enactment is regarded as a deliberate declaration that it is the duty of the Governor to ferret out and suppress lawlessness, and that he is authorized to use every means that money will procure for that end. A religious society in Maine is building a chapel, and the other evening gave "a clapboard supper," each gentleman as one of the State papers kindly explains, being expected to bring a bundle of clapboards under one arm and a tady under the other under... Morrison's Tariff Bill. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. — Morrison's tariff bill, introduced to-day, affects several productions of California, and, in relation to that State, cannot fail to be regarded with interest. Instead of restoring the duty of 1867 on wool, as demanded by the wool growers of Ohio, Kansas, California and other wool growing States, Morrison makes a further reduction of 20 per cent. His bill has a special proviso that no reduction shall operat to cause a collection of duties less than those provided for by the Morrill tariff of 1861. Morrill's tariff Act of 1861 levies 10 per cent. duty on quicksilver, Morrison's bill leaves the duty as at present. The present tariff leaves a duty of five cents per pound on refined and three cents per pound on crude borax. Morrill's tariff has a duty of three cents on the former, and permits the latter to enter free, hence Morrison's bill reduces this commodity to the basis of the Morrill tariff. Under the present tariff raisins and figs pay two cents per pound, grapes two cents, and lemons and oranges 20 per cent., ad valorem. Under the Morrill tariff, raisins, grapes and figs pay one cent per pound, limes 10 per cent., and oranges 10 per cent., while lemons are admitted free. Hence Morrison's bill also reduces all these California products to the basis of Morrill's tariff, which is 1½. The present duty schedule of wines and liquors is not touched by the Morrill bill. This is the effect of the Morrison bill on the principal products of California not already on the free list. Mr. Tully of California, in a conversation today in reference to tariff matters, said: "I am not a protectionist, nor a free trader, but if I understand this bill of Morrison's I shall have to oppose it. I believe the producers of this country should have some protection, and that it shall not all be given to Pennsylvania iron and the New England manufacturers. Our principal products in California are borax, wine, wool, raisins, limes and oranges, and I shall oppose any bill proposing to disturb the duty on those articles, because our products are growing and need what protection they can get. I don't know what other members of our delegation think, but this is my opinion; furthermore, I don't believe any Democratic Presidential candidate can carry California on such a bill as Morrison proposes, or on a platform looking to a reduction of the duty on the articles I have mentioned." At the time Mr. Tully made these remarks he had not seen the Morrison bill, and had only a general idea of the measure. A religious society in Maine is building a chapel, and the other evening gave "a clapboard supper," each gentleman as one of the State papers kindly explains, being expected to bring a bundle of clapboards under one arm and a lady under the other, the understanding being that, in return for the lumber, the two should be given "a supper of baked beans, Indian pudding, and other things sweet to think of." Dispatches from Pittsburgh, Pa., on Wednesday give details of a disastrous flood in that city, caused by a rise in the Allegheny and Monongahla rivers. Railroad traffic was suspended and cellars were inundated. At Meadville, Pa., the people were compelled to use boats in the streets. At Cincinnati and Stenbrenville, Ohio, the flood did great damage, and also at Louisville, Ky. It rained continuously for forty hours at Cleveland, Ohio. Relief measures for sufferers by the flood have been inaugurated in Cincinnati. LOS ANGELES MARKETS. Corrected weekly for the Gazette by the GERMAIN FRUIT COMPANY, 25 Main street, Los Angeles. P.O.

There was a profound study among the boys, but finally one lad held up his hand as a signal that he was ready to answer. "Well, sir, what would there be left? Speak up loud so that all can hear," said the committee man. "The plate!" shouted the hopeful fellow. The committee man turned red in the face, while the other members roared aloud. A delegation from Richmond is in Baltimore making collections to build a home for indigent Confederate soldiers. Contributions in Washington and Baltimore are liberal.
