WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...DEC. 6, 1834 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. The present session of Congress will be a short one, and for that reason no tinkering with the tariff will be attempted. It is well. A convention of School Superintendents of the various counties of California will be held at Sacramento on January 2, 1835, in accordance with the requirement of the law. All superintendents are compelled to be present. It is proposed in Tasmania to make it a penal offense for a candidate to ask a man to vote for him; but the candidate will still have the right to ask any voter to take a drink, and it is well known that all square voters vote as they drink. The rush to Florida is so great that the steamship lines from New York cannot accommodate all who seek passage. The visitors are seeking relief from the rigor of winter. They ought to come to California. Florida is a very nice place in winter, but Southern California is nice all the time. SEMATOR DAWES of Massachusetts has introduced a bill conferring citizenship on Indians. The true inwardness of the measure is not given in the telegram announcing the fact, but there must be some restrictions. What an inspiriting sight it would be to see the noble Digger walk up to the polls and deposit his ballot! The School Trustees of Marshalltownship, Butler County, Pennsylvania, have refused $60,000 for an acre of ground owned by the district, on which is a school building valued at $400. Until four weeks ago the entire property was valued at $500, but oil wells—regular gushers—have been struck on the adjoining lands, and property has risen to fabulous prices. The trustees want $100,000 for the acre. BOTH Houses of Congress met on Monday BULLETIN NO. $2. Vintage Work in the Viticultural Laboratory, 1834. As heretofore stated, the plan of work in the viticultural laboratory is based upon the obvious fact that "among the first necessities of the present situation of California wines in the world's market, is the establishment of more definite qualities and brands, resulting from a definite knowledge of the qualities of each of the prominent grape varieties, and of their influence upon the kind and quality of the wine, in blending before, or as the case may be, after fermentation; of the treatment required by each in the cellar, during the time of ripening; and finally, of the differences caused by difference of location, climate, etc., as well as by different treatment of the wines themselves." "In the wine producing countries of Europe this knowledge has been acquired by long experience; and chemical investigation has subsequently in a great measure ascertained the natural conditions upon which the attainment of certain results in wine-making depends. The principles thus evolved can be applied to new conditions, such as those existing in California, and thus save to a great extent the laborious and costly experimenting which has been gone through herefore, by formulating into generally intelligible rules the knowledge which otherwise usually remains the trade secret of a few experts." "It should be fully understood and remembered that while peculiarities and defects shown by analysis are perfectly definite indications as to the 'conditions that must be fulfilled in a successful blend,' yet analysis cannot as yet take cognizance of the delicate and almost intangible flavors or 'bonqueta,' which must likewise be made to harmonize, in order to satisfy a cultivated palate. To that extent the determination of the proper blends must always remain with the expert wine taster; but the work of the latter is immensely facilitated by being informed, through the analysis, of the prominent chemical peculiarities, which in any case must be taken into consideration, and which ordinarily are left to laborious and more or less blind guessing and experimenting." In conformity with these views, in past years a number of the more prominent grape varieties already cultivated in the State, have been made into both red and white wines in that case the union becomes more potent and sometimes the results differ materially from those obtained when the wines are made, are blended. In making these blends two points are kept in view. One, the production of the best results in accord with the established demands of the matter irrespective of the grape varieties now existing in the vineyards of the State; second, the production of the best blends on basis of those varieties of which a larger portion has already been planted in our yards, and the conversion of which marketable types adapted to the establish taste is a matter of grave interest to concerned. Prominent among such variants is the Zinfandel, which is believed to be nearly half of the planting done in the State and yet, unblended, does not altogether approve of the consumers of clauses Of this grape, therefore, quite a number blends have been tried, both before and after fermentation.

Both Houses of Congress met on Monday last and received the annual message of President Arthur which was a complete review of the year in all branches of the National Government, and ranks among the ablest State documents presented to the United States Congress. Its business-like epitome of the needs of the country; its wise suggestions and recommendations and conservative tone, characterize it as the emanation of a statesman of unusual ability. The ex-Deputy State Treasurer, who is in jail, has been succeeded by another, of whom the Sacramento Record-Union says:—Unpleasant statements have been in circulation for several days relative to the newly-appointed Deputy State Treasurer, and his illegal connection with a crooked financial transaction which took place several years ago, when certain money passing through Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express was appropriated. The matter was "squared up" at the time, but someone has brought it to recollection again, and it is becoming a frequent topic of conversation. The Utah Commission appointed by Congress two years ago has submitted a lengthy report of its investigations and labors. It advises the Government that polygamy has rapidly increased during the last year; that the institution is boldly and defiantly defended and commended, resulting in an increased number of plural marriages in the territory. The commission submits a number of recommendations calculated to affect the territorial government, and concludes with the following: It should be made a penal offense for any woman to enter into the marriage relation with a man knowing him to have a wife living and undivorced. This should be coupled with a provision that in cases where a polygamous wife was called as a witness in any prosecution for polygamy against her husband, her testimony given in such case could not be used against herself, with like provision as to the testimony of a husband called as a witness in a prosecution against his polygamous wife. Among the list of inventors are many curious cranks, and they get hold of the most delightfully absurd ideas. The project of Mr. McGavin of New York, is one of them. He proposes to propel vessels at sea by means of their own pitching and tossing—in fact he would have vessels work their own passage. His idea is to get control of this new motive power by putting the freight in swinging tanks, the tanks to be connected with piston rods which will pump air into deposit his ballot! In order to satisfy a cultivated palate. To that extent the determination of the proper blends must always remain with the expert wine taster; but the work of the latter is immensely facilitated by being informed, through the analysis, of the prominent chemical peculiarities, which in any case must be taken into consideration, and which ordinarily are left to laborious and more or less blind guessing and experimenting." In conformity with these views, in past years a number of the more prominent grape varieties already cultivated in the State, have been made into both red and white wines each, and each thereafter subjected to the test both of chemical analysis and taste. Some of the results of this work have been given to the public in previous reports, as well as in the series of bulletins begun this year; and the importance of this method of determining in advance the probable outcome of heavy pecuniary investments, has seemed so obvious as to induce not only numerous individual requests for the examination of grapes from different localities, but also the offer on the part of the Natoma Water and Mining Co., at Polsom, to supply to the Laboratory experimental lots of each of a large number of newly imported grape varieties, now fruited for the first time in this State, and also to furnish proper packages for treating the same; in order that de finite results as to the wine-making qualities of these varieties might be elicited as quickly as possible, for the public benefit as well as for that of the Company; a considerable share of whose vineyard is yet to be planted, the choice of vines for the same depending largely upon the outcome of these experiments. It may be necessary to allude here to a common prejudice on the part of vintners to the effect that small-scale experiments in wine making can but remotely lead to a correct estimate of the results to be expected on the large scale, and that they frequently mislead to such an extent as to cause grave financial losses. Were this true, of course there would be little use for laboratory experiments on the small scale of ours. What is true, however, is that small-scale experiments do not lead to correct results when made in large cellars alongside of the large quantities there treated. This cannot be otherwise, from precisely the same causes which have lead to the almost universal abandonment of the immense tanks used in the older wineries of the State, in favor of those not exceeding much the capacity of 2,000 gallons. If the 10,000 gallon tank yielded poor results when placed in the same conditions as the 2,000 gallon ones, it is obvious that there must be a similar difference, at least, between the 2,000 gallon tank on the one hand and the 5 or 10 gallon experimental keg on the other. These differences are due in the main to the different temperatures under which the fermentation takes place. When the fermenting masses are large, the temperatures will often rise so high as to actually check fermentation, making it difficult to revive it, and leading to the ultimate setting-in of abnormal fermentations, resulting in "milk-sour" wines. When the masses are very small on the contrary, the regular course of Of Claret and Burgundy types Dry White, Sauternes Ports Sherries. Total Wines of Single Varieties Grape blends, viz.: Red, Claret and Burgundy types Dry White, Sauternes Ports Total Grape Blends Total Wines made As may be supposed, thhe making of caring for these eighty-six wines could be accomplished by the single assistant us employed in the viticultural laboratory. Several weeks Mr. Jaffa was constantly ed by the assistant of the general laborer Mr. Morse, and Mr. F. Polhdorff Jr volunteer; besides a laborer for about weeks. For the management and supervision of the work, and more especially the dimention of the blenda, Mr. Polhdorff, the distinguished wine expert, has given generous proportion of his time throughoutthe vintage season; and the measure of cess with which so large an number of differ wines and packages has been handled uu restricions imposed by the limited mnt at our command, is largely due to his ingent direction. Under the same sample all the wines made and of additional vienna blends are now being prepared for inspection at the coming viticultural convention;the more important ones are being analyzed as rapidly as possible, with the aid ou additional temporary assistant furnishedthe Viticultural Commission for their ency. It will be found that among these varieties from the Folsom vineyard there large number of the highest merits promise, whether by themselves or for bblng purposes, maintaining precisely position assigned to them among Eurovinners, and proving conclusively that attainment of high standards of quality our wines is merely a question of a prelection of varieties and of intelli management. The elaboration of the results of seasonal's work will of necessity delay publication of the full report on thhe beyond the usual time; but it is to be bhl that for the coming season,a more life provision of means and appliances will made by legislative appropriations,a s hardly to be expected that thhe same amoof voluntary assistance can be secured e season.

Grape Growers of California The San Francisco Merchant published following list of the grape growers offormia: AMONG the list of inventors are many curious cranks, and they get hold of the most delightfully absurd ideas. The project of Mr. McGavin of New York, is one of them. He proposes to propel vessels at sea by means of their own pitching and tossing—in fact, he would have vessels work their own passage. His idea is to get control of this new motive power by putting the freight in swinging tanks, the tanks to be connected with piston rods which will pump air into compressed air engines. A dead calm, Mr. McGavin says, would not stop the progress of his vessels, as there is always enough swell to drive them by his device at the rate of eight or ten knots an hour. He filed a caveat for his invention on the 4th of October, 1876, but has never taken out the patent. He has not as yet made a practical experiment with his invention, for the reason that the expense is beyond his means. If any gentleman has a spare ship he might, in the interest of science, send it to Mac for experimental purposes. Reducing Expenses. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3. — It is reported that nearly one thousand men have been discharged during the past three months from ramps under the control of the Central Pacific Railroad. Four hundred men have been discharged at Sacramento within the past week. General business depression is given as the cause. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3. — General Manager Towne of the Central Pacific Railroad, was interviewed this evening by an Associated Press reporter regarding the large number of employees reported to have been lately discharged. He stated that a majority of them were men employed on repairs, reconstruction and bridge building, and that as the work was completed their services were were no longer necessary. A weeding out had also been made in various business departments and some had been dismissed in San Francisco, Sacramento and other points. This was chiefly due to the small quantity of freight at present being offered. Wheat is so low that farmers preferred holding to selling. Rev. Ball of Buffalo having a hard time of it, and doubtless wishes the election was really over for him. Sunday night a gang of toughs surrounded his parsonage and put out the windows with chankas off coal. A large shovel was hurled into the sleeping apartment of his two daughters, frightening them badly. Nearturishave got been madeditions as the 2,000 gallon ones, it is obvious that there must be a similar difference, at least, between the 2,000 gallon tank on the one hand and the 5 or 10 gallon experimental keg on the other. These differences are due in the main to the different temperatures under which the fermentation takes place. When the fermenting masses are large, the temperature will often rise so high as to actually check fermentation, making it difficult to revive it, and leading to the ultimate setting-in of abnormal fermentations, resulting in "milk-sour" wines. When the masses are very small, on the contrary, the regular course of the fermentation is liable to be interfered with by such small variations of temperature in the fermenting rooms as will leave masses of proper amount—say 1,000 to 2,000 gallons, almost unaffected. Hence, a 10 gallon keg in a cellar and temperature adapted to the proper fermentation of large packages can only accidentally furnish results correctly representing large scale operations. It is quite otherwise in a cellar of which the temperature can be regulated at will, and with special adaption to small packages; when the latter will furnish wines closely corresponding to those that will be produced under correct practice on the larger scale. It need hardly be said that the temperature must be kept higher than would be admissible in a cellar containing 2,000-gallon packages, which would under all circumstances be liable to the same inconveniences as those met with in the use of large tanks. It would have been desirable to vary somewhat the cellar temperature for different wines during their first fermentation; but as there was only a single room at command, an average was struck in maintaining the thermometer, as a rule, between 68° and 70° day and night. It was found that under these conditions the temperatures of the fermenting meats were about the same as usually found in the 2,000-gallon tanks, and that the fermentations were completed in about the same average times. The size of the fermenting kegs varied from one to ten gallons; in consequence of the impossibility of obtaining the same amount of grenades all cases. It would be desirable that the quantity of must or mark should never fall below five gallons, and not exceed ten in one package. In every case wine was made of each variety of grapes separately, and each must was analyzed on the day it was pressed; but whenever feasible, blends of several kinds providing good results when in combined ware also made prior to fermentation, The San Francisco Merchant published following list of the grape growers of formia: COUNTY No COUNTY Los Angeles 421 Sutter Napa 315 Butte Sonoma 298 Amador Fresno 204 Santa Barbara San Bernardino 237 Marlin Santa Clara 183 Merced Alameda 157 Tehama San Diego 141 Yuba Contra Costa 138 Colusa Sacramento 139 Mendocino San Josequin 88 Tulare Solano 81 Kern Yolo 57 Calaveras Placer 52 Ventura San Francisco 42 Stanislawz El Dorado 39 Monterey Lake 32 San Mateo San Luis Obispo 29 San Benito Tulquame 21 Humboldt Santa Cruz 18 Nevada Shasta 17 Total Because the unions become more perfect times the results differ materially, unanticipated when the wines, ready to blend.

A deep hole had been dug into the sand by his physique; into which The Pomeroy boy fell head forement. The sand immediately fell on him; almost completely covering his body; and death quickly followed. At Santa Barbara, Andy P. Sydenstucher; aged 19 years; was found dead in the stable on a ranch where he was working. The position is that going behind the horns with the intention of harvesting them Sydenstucher fell; and was then kicked by one of the horses and died instantly. At Sen Juan Cola,, Manio Green; aged twelve; accidentally discharged a gun belonging to Albert Chalmers; who had called at the ranch of Mr. Anzar; for dinner. The charge from the gun struck Chalmers in face; causing instant death. The girl and she deceased were alone at time of the accident. The above is her girl's version. Last Friday afternoon an alarm of fire aroused the citizens of Chico. It was soon found out that John Bidwell's flour mills were on fire. Bidwell only this year rebuilt his mills and spent $30,000 on them. The mills took fire in the second story from a cause unknown. In a short time whole large mill was destroyed. Loss about $40,000; insurance,$28,000. It is feared that the son of J. L. Keefer; whose residence was burned near Chico Sunday; was lost in the fire. He was thirty years old; weak-minded; and has not been heard since fire. Bennett James; Sheriff of Napa county; died at Napa Sunday from the effects of a grape seed lodging in his bowels; around which an abscess formed.

The old "Petrified Giant" that was manufactured and "found" at Cardiff, N. Y., some fifteen or sixteen years ago, is getting around toward California. It is now exhibiting through the mining camps in Arizona. Richard S. Heath of St. Helena, Napa County, attempted to commit suicide in Fresno last week, by shooting himself through the head. He will probably recover. Business adversity and dissipation are given as the explanation. James Cunningham, the agent, confesses to having robbed the Oregon and California Station Agency at Jacksonville, Or., a few weeks ago of $600. He asserted at the time that three masked men seized and forced him to give the money to them. Don Sandago Luna of Valencia county, N.

Two men, digging roots on an island in the Susquehanna river, near Danville, Penn., struck a metal box containing coins amounting to nearly $47,000, including $16,000 in Mexican silver dollars, $30,000 in gold doubloons, and nearly $1,000 in small silver coin. A gentleman who has recently been to Albany says that Cleveland is the constant recipient of threatening letters from cranks, who aver, in many would-be startling ways, that he will never be permitted to enter the White House alive to usurp the office of President. The mellowness of old wine has been found by experiments in Germany to be due to an increase in the quantity of glycerine that it contains, rather than to a decrease of tannin. The mellowness of the drinker depends on the quantity of the wine. THE DEADLY LEAD. THE RISKS RUN BY INCAUTIOUS DRINKERS OF TEA. It is surprising to what manifold dangers tea drinkers are exposed. The Silentific Press, August 5th, 1882, says: "In Germany a movement is on feet look- ing to the passing of a law prohibiting the importation of tea in lead-lined boxes. The lead is used to preserve the aroma and flavor of the tea, which would be lost were the air allowed to reach it; but while it has the desired effect of preserving the flavor and aroma, it creates a danger of lead poisoning; and it is a thing to benoticed in this connection that women who are the principal tea-drinkers suffer very murb from symptoms such as would be produced by least poison; for example, swimming of the head, and a whitening of the skin." The above, added to the opinions expressed by the New York press on the subject of tea adulteration might almost make people afraid to drink tea at all. There is one package, however, which as everyone knows is an absolute guarantee of the purity and merit of its contents, and which likewise is made without land or solder. That is the Perfection Tea Can, and the importers of Eola Tea import that high-class articles, and their "White Cross" brand also, only in this package. BUCKLE'S ARNICA SALE.

(PATENTED April 8th, 1884) Some of its many advantages 1. Its 50 candle power considered, it is the cheapest light ever invented. 2. By the laws of nature, it is non-explosive. 3. A chimney cannot be broken by it; it will melt first. 4. Even a child can wick it in one minute. 5. No stoke, no odor, no smoked chimneys. 6. Being made of brass or nickel, the lamp will last a lifetime. 7. Should it accidentally fall, there is no danger, as it could not break. Many lives have been lost in similar cases with glass lamps. 8. The fountain can be attached to any crane or oil fixtures, such as a gas burner, off bracket or chandelier, and used in lighting stores, offices, railroad cars, churches, parlor, halls, hotels, and streets of towns and cities. 9. The hand lamp with tripod and porcelain shade is an ornament to any parlor, library or office. 10. It costs less and gives more than double the light of the Student's Lamp. Beware of imitations.
