WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... MAY 3, 1884 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. ANYTHING to beat Blaine is now the cry. The last time a somewhat similar howl was extant, it didn't work. Tom Ochiltree says that the importunities and attentions of the Washington women make life burdensome to Congressmen. It is the knowledge of this that has kept many of us from aspiring to be Congressmen. E. F. Spence, President of the First National Bank of Los Angeles, is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congressman for this district. Mr. Spence is a popular and able man. In his desperate efforts at duidism, Senator Farley has got into a bad fix. He is lying seriously ill at Washington from the effects of using poisonous hair dye, with which he was wont to improve his personal appearance. We have not heard nor read an opinion favorable to any satisfactory outcome from the present session of the legislature. Our advice to the member from Gospel Swamp is to come home. Dr. Head, the weeds are getting high on your ranche. The U. S. steamer Bear has gone to the neighborhood of the North Pole in search of Lieut. Greeley and party. In about a year another steamer will be sent in search of the Bear and crew. And so the absurd farce—or tragedy—goes on. RICHES take unto themselves wings—especially on Wall street. D. O. Mills is the millionaire who is now financially shaky. He bought 'em when they were high and now he is forced to sell 'em when they are low. Result, as Micawber would say, unhappiness. Jim Keene has also gone into bang- WHENEVER it happens that lovely woman is gifted with muscle, she is brave enough to use it. Her characteristic timidity is due to the knowledge of her physical weakness, and not to lack of courage. A combination of muscle and bravery seems to have been united in Jennie Graff, whose exploits is detailed in the telegraphic news of the week. Jennie and her sister live at Rossville, S. C. On Monday night a negro entered the house where they were sleeping alone and attempted an outrage. The younger sister was too frightened to do aught but scream, but Jennie struck the negro and knocked him down. He got up and renewed the attack but was again knocked down, and the brave girl pouced on him and scratched his face fearfully. He endeavored to escape, but he was again knocked from his feet, and in talling he struck on the edge of an ashpan and severed his windpipe. He got away, however, only to be captured subsequently by the trail of blood which marked his course. At Charlestown, W. Va., also on Monday night, three men attempted to rob the residence of Jack Woods. He was shot and wounded, and his son was shot and killed. Mary Woods, the daughter, shot at the robbers with a pistol, wounding one of them, and they ran off. Congressman Henley of California addressed the House last week, his theme being Civil Service Reform as adhered to by the Republican party. He charged upon the party apoition, theft and maladministration. He was interrupted by Edford of Colorado, who said: "Don't you know that during the administration of James Buchanan that these same practices were tolerated and encouraged by the Democratic party?" To this Henly replied: "Mr. Chairman, that was before my voting days, but at that time the gentlemen from Colorado was a Democrat, and what the party might or might not have done under the inspiration of such membership, the Lord only knows." The retort was rather neat, although it savors more of the chipper smartness of the stamp orator than the reply of a thinker and statesman." The next Republican National Convention will have 820 delegates, as follows: NEWS OF THE So far this season has had four terrific attended by more great destruction of Peter Concannon brutally beating him ren, was tarred and burned of North Bergen, N.Y. The Broadway officers of the British ing criticism on the States Congress took. The Chinese autumn ordered a census to profess Christianity not known. The Eastern Butt met at New York that assurances had number of retail stores not deal in Chicago. Twenty persons accident near Cuddy One of the support maliciously cut, proclaimed river. The proprietors of Prussia, including workmen that overtook to reduce the number some threaten to attack. A boy, aged twelve, suspicion of incendion set no less than six pared that certain ransom in the habit of paying each house they sued. Alfred Chadwick with a steer, for what Detroit gave her that he only followed among the market Canada. The Texas Council says that certain elites a "habit of chewing trouble." The occurrences of them does not add danger. The theory held that by preserving watery grave, the next world for all those by the person rescued that a wise dispenser been frustrated. The opponents of Mexico are making sudden accumulation that when he finds the chief magistrate now he is worth much though he has been RICHES take unto themselves wings—especially on Wall street. D. O. Mills is the millionaire who is now financially shaky. He bought 'em when they were high and now he is forced to sell 'em when they are low. Result, as Micawber would say, unhap-piness. Jim Keene has also gone into bang-ruptcy. EX-Secretary of State, D. M. Burns, is short $18,000 in his accounts with the State, that being the amount of the fees collected by him during his incumbency and not paid over. Controller Dunn is doing good work in exposing the crookedness of ex and present State officials. Find the rascals out. The Guion steamer Oregon has just beaten all other "ocean greyhounds" by crossing the Atlantic in six days, ten hours and eight minutes. This is not only the fastest passage on record, but it makes a startling advance in rapid steaming, for it beats the next best time that made by the Alaska last September—nearly half a day. At this rate of progress no one will be inclined to doubt that the ocean may yet be crossed in six days. There seems to be a bouncing boom in the white elephant line. Barnum's simon-pure specimen is said to be eclipsed by the article manufactured by himself. The bleached animal is attended by sons of Erin who are fully up in their sacred devotion to the imported Burmese priests. And now Adam Forepaugh comes to the front with the only "original Jacobs" genuine white elephant. Yankee humbuggery, alias enterprise, might make a sensation if transplanted into the soil of India religion. There appears to be some difference of opinion in regard to the health of Assemblyman Moffit of this county. Is he really and truly sick, or is he enacting the role of artful dodger? His colleague, Dr. Head, insists on the latter view, and introduced a resolution requiring the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Assembly to repair to San Fernando and secure the presence of Moffit in the Assembly, where his vote is needed. Dr. Widney, his physician and relative, says that Moffit is suffering from an acute affection of the lungs. When Doctors disagree, etc. A mother at Easton, Pa., cut the throats of her three children and then her own. A jealous husband at Syracuse killed his wife and then himself. Another fool of the same kind at Cedartown, Georgia, shot his wife's alleged paramour. At Audubon, Iowa, an old farmer and his wife were idracted from an area that these same practices were tolerated and encouraged by the Democratic party." To this Henly replied: "Mr. Chairman, that was before my voting days, but at that time the gentlemen from Colorado was a Democrat; and what the party might or might not have done under the inspiration of such membership, the Lord only knows." The retort was rather neat, although it savors more of the chipper smartness of the stamp orator than the reply of a thinker and statesman. The next Republican National Convention will have 820 delegates, as follows: Alabama... 20 Mississippi... 18 Arkansas... 14 Nebraska... 10 California... 16 Nevada... 6 Colorado... 6 North Carolina... 22 Connecticut... 12 New York... 72 Delaware... 6 New Hampshire... 8 Florida... 8 New Jersey... 18 Georgia... 24 Ohio... 46 Illinois... 44 Oregon... 6 Indiana... 30 Pennsylvania... 69 Iowa... 26 Rhode Island... 8 Kansas... 18 South Carolina... 18 Kentucky... 26 Tennessee... 24 Louisiana... 16 Texas... 26 Maine... 12 Vermont... 8 Maryland... 16 Virginia... 24 Massachusetts... 28 West Virginia... 12 Michigan... 26 Wisconsin... 22 Minnesota... 14 Nine Territories... 18 Missouri... 32 Total.....820 The electoral vote is 410, each State having in the Electoral College just half the number of votes they have Delegates in this Convention. Assuming that the multiplicity of divorces is caused by the fact that young people often marry against the wishes and judgment of their parents and friends, a goody-goody correspondent of a goody-goody paper calls for a law "giving parents the power to bid any man to speak to their daughter who is under age, and, if their injunction be disregarded to have him first put under bonds, and then, if the offense be repeated, in jail." The foolishness of the individual who could suggest such a law is only surpassed by the other individual who believes that it could be enforced if enacted. The only effective injunction which a parent can apply under the circumstances is the toe of his boot. In the Republican Presidential Convention of 1876, Blaine began with 286 votes and increased it to 351 votes. Four years later he received 284 votes on the first ballot, which decreased to 270 votes on the fourteenth ballot. In the coming convention he will receive the nomination on the first ballot. Our colored brethren give evidence of political deniality of late. In the Pittsburgh convention they refused to listen to Fred Douglas. New Railroad Schedule. The new schedule of the fast train from San Francisco to New York, via Mojave and the Needles, that recently went into effect, is as follows: Leave San Francisco on Monday at 3:30 p.m.; arrive at Needles at 9 p.m. Tuesday; at Albuquerque at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday; at A mother at Easton, Pa., cut the throats of her three children and then her own. A jealous husband at Syracuse killed his wife and then himself. Another fool of the same kind at Cedartown, Georgia, shot his wife's alleged paramour. At Audubon, Iowa, an old farmer and his wife were dragged from their bed by four masked men and the old man was killed. At Long Branch, Texas, on Sunday, just at the close of the Sabbath school, one young man shot and killed another young man, and a peacemaker was wounded in the shoulder. At Philadelphia, an insane man set fire to the bed in which he and his one-year-old child were lying, and they were both cremated. These are crimes detailed in one day's telegraph dispatches. Verily, there ought to be a great deal of good in this world to counterbalance all the evil in it. A bill is before Congress asking for an appropriation of $250,000 with which to construct a postoffice building in Los Angeles. Another measure of local interest is one which has already received the sanction of the Judiciary Committee: It is a bill to detach certain counties from the United States Judicial district of California and create the United States Judicial district of Southern California. It is proposed that all that portion of the State now comprised in the counties of San Diego, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Kern be made a separate judicial district. The regular terms of court in this district are to be held at Los Angeles, beginning on the first Monday in April, the second Monday in August and the first Monday in December in each year. In the northern district terms of court are to be held in San Francisco, commencing on the same days. The bill also makes provision for the transaction of all legal business in the new district, should it be created, and also for the appointment of a Judge at a salary of $5000 a year. Our colored brethren give evidence of political dementia of late. In the Pittsburgh convention they refused to listen to Fred Douglas. New Railroad Schedule. The new schedule of the fast train from San Francisco to New York, via Mojave and the Needles, that recently went into effect, is as follows: Leave San Francisco on Monday at 3:30 p.m.; arrive at Needles at 9 p.m. Tuesday; at Albququerque at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday; at Kansas City at 6:35 p.m. Friday; at St. Louis at 8 a.m. Saturday; at Pittsburgh at 8:35 a.m.; at New York City at 10:20 p.m. on Sunday. Distance, 3,457 miles; time, 147 hours. By the Central and Union Pacific the time is as follows: Leave New York at 8:50 p.m. on Monday; Buffalo, 8:47 a.m. Tuesday; Chicago, Wednesday, 3 a.m.; Council Bluffs, 7:35 p.m. Wednesday; Ogden, 5:15 Friday; San Francisco, 7:40 a.m. Sunday. Distance, 3,344 miles; time, 134 hours, or 5 days and 14 hours. These two trains are the fastest on the road. The time from San Francisco to New York via the Needles must not be confounded with the time from Los Angeles to New York. Los Angeles is 270 miles nearer New York than San Francisco, via the Needles, and in a direct line is over 300 miles nearer. The time can be made from Los Angeles to New York in 5 days, without running at high rate of speed. Emancipation in Cuba. [London Echo.] In the blue book on the slave trade which has just been published, there is a dispatch from the English Consul General at Havana which affords gratifying evidence of the progress of emancipation in Cuba. The number of slaves or "patrocinados" as they are now called, still in servitude in the island, is under 100,000. According to the official data the number of slaves in 1868 was 385,355; and if from this is deducted those still in servitude, or 99,566, there remains 285,785 as the number of colored persons freed between February, 1868, and November, 1883. These figures do not include the so-called "emancipados" or slaves freed at different times with the obligation to prove during a given period, that they are in regular employment. Slavery has five more years to run; but at the rapid rate at which emancipation has progressed during the last three and a half years, Mr. Carden thinks it will have ceased altogether much before the legal term of 1888. A Startling Physicians age other discoveries.

The machine Hudson's real estate NEWS OF THE WEEK. So far this season the State of Georgia has had four terrific cyclones and hurricanes, attended by more or less loss of life and great destruction of property. Peter Concannon, who was in the habit of brutally beating his three motherless children, was tarred and feathered by the citizens of North Bergen, N.J., Saturday. The Broadarrow of London, organ of the officers of the British navy, is out with a stinging criticism on the policy of the United States Congress toward the American navy. The Chinese authorities a short time ago ordered a census to be taken of the natives professing Christianity, for what object is not known. The Eastern Butchers' Protective Society met at New York Saturday and reported that assurances had been obtained from a number of retail butchers that they would not deal in Chicago dressed beef. Twenty persons were killed by a railroad accident near Ciudad Real, Spain, Saturday. One of the supports of a bridge had been maliciously cut, precipitating the train into the river. The proprietors of the leading steel works of Prussia, including Krupp, inform their workmen that over-production compels them to reduce the number of working hours, and some threaten to stop their works. A boy, aged twelve, arrested in Tokio on suspicion of incendiarism, confessed to having set no less than six houses on fire. It transpired that certain rufians in the capital are in the habit of paying children one yen for each house they succeed in burning. Alfred Chadwick yoked his wife to a plow with a steer, for which Judge Jennison of Detroit gave her a divorce. He insisted that he only followed the general usage among the market gardeners of western Canada. The Texas Courier-Record of Medicine says that certain elderly colored women have a "habit of chewing puns as a solace for trouble." The occasional swallowing of one of them does not appear to be attended with danger. The theory held by the natives of China is that by preserving a fellow creature from a watery grave, the rescuer is answerable in the next world for all the sins afterward committed by the person rescued; which literally means that a wise dispensation of Providence has been frustrated. The opponents of President Gonzales of Mexico, are making a great ado over his sudden accumulation of wealth. It is charged that when he first assumed the duties of the chief magistracy he was poor, but that now he is worth more than $1,000,000, although he has been in office but two years. PACIFIC COAST NEWS. A "death trap" is what a Tucson Grand Jury styles the new public school building. A fire at Greenville, on Sunday, destroyed the hotel and several other buildings. Loss, $15,000. Martin Jensen, a fourteen-year-old boy, was severely injured near Napa last week by falling from a tree and striking on an upturned scythe. The wife of J. S. Moore of Woodland deserted her husband and five children last week and eloped with a young rancher named L. P. Gignerre. At Battle Mountain, Nev., last week Thomas P. Smith was fined $400 for exhibiting a deadly weapon in a rude and threatening manner. A young son of Jesse Curtis of San Bernardino was kicked in the forehead by a horse last week, while playing around the animal, and seriously injured. John Day committed suicide in Plum creek canyon, near Red Bluff, last week, by fixing a rope around his neck, shooting himself and then dropping off a barrel. The employes of the railroad shops of Sacramento protest against the high price of beef and intend organizing for the purpose of devising means to secure cheaper meat. Orders have been issued by the Postoffice Department establishing new offices at Loma Priesta, Santa Cruz county, Cal., at Moro, Wasco county, Or., and at Edmunds, Snomhomish county, W.T. W. L. Dayton, aged 50 years, has been arrested at Cottonwood, Col., for abducting a fourteen-year-old girl. It seems that the couple eloped from Anderson and were caught at Cottonwood occupying a room together. Richard Hubbard, a seven-year-old Austin (Nev.) boy, got lost in a snowstorm last week, and about twelve hours after he was missed a searching party found him fourteen mules from Austin under a large sage brush. When asked what he was doing there he said, "Chewing gum." Near Happner, Oregon, Al Weir, a herder of horses was found dragged to death. Appearances indicated that he had lain down, probably to take a nap, and had tied the rope of his sad dilethorse to his wrist. The horse evidently got scared and dragged him back and forth among the band where he was kicked to death. A Eureka, Nev., dispatch says: Snow is falling continually. The weather is unprocedent. The condition of the roads is such that hauling is impossible, and the supply of coal for the reduction furnace is nearly exhausted, while not a hundred cords of wood are left in town. Work of all kinds depending upon the shipment of ore from The occasional swallowing of one of them does not appear to be attended with danger.

It is charged that when he first assumed the duties of the chief magistracy he was poor, but that now he is worth more than $1,000,000, although he has been in office two years. The County Alms House, of Van Buren county Michigan, was burned to the ground at two o'clock Wednesday morning and fourteen inmates perished in the flames. Only one body was found recognizable. All that could be found of the other thirteen was put in one box the size of an ordinary collin box. The long fight between the combination of Bordeaux wine merchants and the health authorities of France over the right to put salicilic acid, as a preservative, into wine, resulted in the absolute prohibition of this ingredient. It is not held that a certain proportion of the acid would be harmful, but that it opens the door to great abuses. Dr. Gibbons in the Pacific Medical and Surgical Journal cites a case of hypochondriain which a farmer imagined his nose to be a bundle of hay. He took great care not to go near a horse or cow for fear his nose should be destroyed. Men are more likely than women, says the Doctor, to have hypochondria, though women have hysteria oftener than men. The diseases are closely allied in origin and nature. A wealthy Scandinavian from Bismarck, Dakota, arrived in St. Paul, Minn., recently, and said he wanted a wife. At the depot he met for the first time a man to whom he offered $200 if he would find him a wife on short notice. The man took him to his own house and introduced him to his daughter. The bargain was quickly made, and as a guarantee of good faith the man from Dakota transferred $19,000 worth of Bismarck property to his intended bride. The marriage has taken place. The Massachusetts legislators want higher salaries. But they don't strike. Oh no. There isn't enough sand in the average legislator to enable him to go out. He wants all he can get. Nature made the member of the Legislature with two hands, so that he could gesture with one and grab with the other. But he won't strike. He will demand more and more, and more and more. But when it comes to the pinch he would legislate for nothing and find himself rather than not legislate at all. Considerable anxiety is felt at Colorado Springs as to the fate of Signal Service Observer Ramsay, who has been at Pike's Peak Station for seven weeks. George Beckhous, his companion, reached there three weeks ago, more dead than alive, after twenty-four hours in the snow drifts, twenty to thirty feet deep. At that time their provisions were running low and consisted of eight pounds of rice, twenty pounds of dried apples, two cans of condensed milk and eighty pounds of flour, which is almost nauseess, as there is nothing to raise it with, and a couple of pounds of salt fish. Several ineffectual attempts have been made to relieve the observer, the depth of the snow preventing parties from reaching him. Near Happner, Oregon, Al Weir, a herder of horses was found dragged to death. Appearances indicated that he had lain down, probably to take a nap, and had tied the rope of his saddlehorse to his wrist. The horse evidently got scared and dragged him back and forth among the band where he was kicked to death. A Eureka, Nev., dispatch says: Snow is falling continually. The weather is unprecedented. The condition of the roads is such that hauling is impossible, and the supply of coal for the reduction furnace is nearly exhausted, while not a hundred cords of wood are left in town. Work of all kinds depends upon the shipment of ore from mines is at a standstill. It is midwinter in the middle of spring. Dr. Rafferty, of Portland, Oregon, was recently presented with a contrivance for punching out the eyes of human beings, and which was used, it is said, upon Indian doctors who repeatedly tailed to cure their patients. It is of stone, about a foot long, a half inch thick, and varying in width from one inch at the ends to three inches at the centre, the width of the latter being caused by a double-pointed projection on one side, the points so arranged as to strike each eye in the centre, while the groove between protects the nose from injury.

WASHINGTON, D. C. April 19.—Nearly 500 letters are received daily from soldiers, inquiring into the status of claims which they had been induced to file under pretense that they were entitled to additional bounty under the alleged new laws. They are persuaded in this way to pay an advance fee of from $20 to $50 to attorneys to prosecute their claims. The claims are registered, of course, and the claimants never hear of it until they apply to the Department. Attorneys pay no attention to the cases after receiving the advance, as they know they are without merit. Soldiers are also induced to send their discharge papers to those attorneys who refuse to return them, in the hope that they may be of benefit to them in the event of legislation in the future similar to the terms of the proposed equalization of the Bounty act. Nearly all bounties payable under existing laws have already been paid. The Second Auditor suggests, as one method of preventing these frauds, that claimants who suppose they are entitled to additional bounty, write directly to his office for information on the subject. A Startling Discovery. Physicians are often startled by remarkable discoveries. The fact that Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption and all Throat and Lung diseases is daily curing patients that they have given up to die, is startling them to realize their sense of duty, and examine into the merits of this wonderful discovery; resulting in hundreds of our best physicians using it in their practice.
