ANAHEIM VOL. XV. WEEKLY GAZETTE Established 1870. For Terms, see Fourth Page. RARE GRAPES. The following extracts are from a recent bulletin issued by Prof. Hilgard of the Agricultural Department of the University of California, reporting the results of investigations of wines from rare grape varieties, grown by the Natoma Water and Mining Company, at Polson, last year: CINSAUT, OR BOUDALEA. The Cinsaut is widely distributed in the south of France, from the Alps to the Pyrenees. It yields a heavy-bodied but delicate and highly-flavored wine, and for that reason is largely used in blends, to which it imparts its fine aroma, which is best developed at the age of about four years. It is, moreover, a most excellent table grape. The grape develops its best qualities on the warmest slopes of dry, stony hills. On light soils its life is not long unless well sustained by fertilizers and with very short pruning; requires a good deal of heat; ripens early in second period. From Polson it is reported to be a fair bearer, not very vigorous and medium ripening. The grapes were received September 25th, in excellent condition, and corresponded very accurately to the description of the typical grape. Bunches and berries large, fine and very attractive looking; berry rather firm, very sweet, but with sufficient acid to render it very palatable. PETIT BOUSCHET. This grape is of especial interest as being the direct result of the careful hybridization of the Aramon, a quantity grape of medium received. September 20th, and corresponded accurately to the figure, but were unevenly ripened, rather insipid, thick-skinned, and not very juicy. April 10, 1865 (K. W. H.)—Condition bright; color, light red, apparently still more faded; faint but agreeable bouquet; acid and tasting may moderate but well proportioned. Good, but decidedly inferior to Verdot. Like the latter, it does not dilute well. In judging of the relative merits of Verdot and Merlot from Polson, it should not be forgotten that while the former found there its habitat location in low ground, the latter, adapted to the hilly lands, was somewhat out of its place. The subjected table shows the main points in the composition of the musts and wines above described: MUST.

As Trauel, a farmer, living near High Knox the south-western part of this county, chopping in the woods about half way up the mountain on Thursday last, he wished to rest by a flock of crows which appeared suddenly from a southern direction alighted in a high tree a hundred yards away. After a great deal of loud cawing they rose and flew away in the direction which they had come. Trauel then went with his work. About the middle of the afternoon, he happened to look southward and that the sky was black with some apples object. In a few minutes he discovered that it was an immense flock of crows soon swept into the Knob woods, and with thunder of wings and deafening clam throats settled down into the trees, we leafless branches became blackened with birds from top to bottom. For three flocks after flock of crows poured into woods, until the side of the hill for a distance than forty acres was covered thickly with them that big branches split from the trees beneath their weight was nearly dark when the last flock four resting place in the woods, and midway came before quiet was restored in the congregation. The cows remained in the woods last Monday. Early every morning they would start out from the colony, taking ferent directions, and after being absurd an hour or so would one after another turn. Their arrival was greeted with wildest commotion all through the woody vociferous cawing and flapping of wingings kept up for some minutes. The o'clock flocks would go out to be met with the by fertilizers and with very short pruning; requires a good deal of heat; ripens early in second period. From Folsom it is reported to be a fair bearer, not very vigorous and medium ripening. The grapes were received September 23th, in excellent condition, and corresponded very accurately to the description of the typical grape. Bunches and berries large, fine and very attractive looking; berry rather firm, very sweet, but with sufficient acid to render it very palatable. PETIT BOUSCHET. This grape is of especial interest as being the direct result of the careful hybridization of the Aramon, a quantity grape of medium quality and yielding but little color, with the intensely colored Teinturier. Like the latter it has not only color in the skin but also in juice itself, and is therefore largely used in making up for deficiency of color in blends, while it is not, by itself, a grape of high quality. It is a heavy bearer even when short-pruned; is cultivated chiefly in the south of France; ripens early. From Folsom the Petit Bouschet is reported to be a medium bearer, of good vigor and medium ripening time. Lots were shipped on the 19th, and again on the 21st of September. The latter was altogether overripe and somewhat damaged thereby when received; the first was fully ripe and in part showed a disposition to dry into raisins; evidently the grapes could have been harvested some time before, say the 15th. They had been heavily sulphured and had to be carefully washed to avoid tainting the wine. The samples agreed well with the description, only the bunches were rather longer and looser than in the figure. Report of Convention Committee, December 7th—Petit Bouschet U. No. 28a of Natoma, V. C. No. 8 of Stockton, and V. C. No. 14, of A. Harazathy from his Madison Vineyard, all show excellent color, a fine flavor, mellowness in taste, and rich astromeney, and doubtless the Petit Bouschet is an improvement upon the Teinturier, of which the Bouschet is a crossing. The grapes at Natoma reached maturity at the middle of September. This wine is a medium bearer and of vigorous growth at Natoma. Its adoption in California vineyards will be desirable, as its usefulness, chiefly for its coloring power, is great; and seemingly an addition of this grape to Port grapes for sweet wines is of value for the utilization of that quality. VERDOT. The Verdot belongs exclusively to the vineyards of the Bordeaux region, and is there cultivated in the low grounds, in whose strong clayey soils this grape yields better products than any other. It is the latest ripening grape of the region, and is on that account always gathered and treated by itself. It is only moderately productive and is therefore mostly pruned long, although it does not resent short pruning. In its propagation the strongest wood should be carefully selected. The Verdot wine is a good keeper, and is especially esteemed for export. From Folsom the Verdot is reported to be of medium vigor and a light bearer. Its bunches were considerably more compact than in the figure given in French works. This was found to be very generally the case in the varieties sent from Folsom, and is probably attributable to the youth of the vines. In other respects the grapes tallied It will be seen from the above table that the Cinsaut had in a season of low sugar and alcohol percentages attained a very respectable figure, exceeded only by the Sirah and some Sherry varieties. The Petit Bouschet, gathered a day later but not crushed until five days after the Cinsaut, remains considerably behind the latter, as do also the Bordeaux varieties. In the matter of tannin the Cinsaut, Verdot and Merlot run near together and rather low; while the Bouschet ranges in its average near to or a little above the Sirah, shows about double the amount in the Aramon, one of its ancestors, and nearly as high as its other ancestor. The Teinturier. In acid, also, the Bouschet ranges pretty high, and thus promises a wide usefulness for blending, even apart from its high color and good flavor. Of the two Bordeaux varieties, the Verdot ranges closely with the Cabernets in all respects, while the Merlot shows its lighter character both in body and alcoholic strength; entirely in accord with its reputation in France. Its uneven maturing as above noted may account for its inferiority to the Verdot in the kind and amount of bouquet. "Our Folks Have Got a New Organ" [Scotch Paper.] In the Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on Wednesday, Sheriff Gillespie heard proof in an action at the instance of Donald Cameron, railway clerk, Burntisland, against Margaret Ellis, residing with her parents at Ferguson Place, Burntisland, for the delivery of an American organ belonging to him. Pursuer stated he was twenty-two years of age. He was fortunate enough to secure an American organ at a lottery in Dundee in November last. At the time he had been on most intimate terms with defender; in fact they were engaged. (Laughter.) The organ arrived at Burntisland station on a Sunday morning. As the pursuer was in lodgings, it was arranged to place the organ in defender's father's house. This was accordingly done. Towards the beginning of the present year their intimacy ceased. He had asked the organ back, but had received abusive language from the defender's mother, who said she had nothing to do with it. He had taken up several people to see the instrument. He never gave the organ as a present to defender. Cross-examined—He stated that he had never told any of the family that the organ was given to Maggie as a present. He admitted offering to pay for a teacher to teach her. He was aware she was being taught, but not at his expense. In answer to the Sheriff, he said that according to the lottery ticket the organ was valued at 100 guineas. Defender stated she was nineteen years of age. She remembered of the pursuer getting the organ, and showing her a Dundee paper with the result of the lottery at Burntialand Station one morning they were going to Edinburgh together. When the visitors came to see the organ at father's house it was known as "Maggie's organ." (Laughter.) She had since ceased to be on intimate terms with it. "It will be seen from the above table that the Cinsaut had in a season of low sugar and alcohol percentages attained a very respectable figure, exceeded only by the Sirah and some Sherry varieties.

On Saturday a number of the nails agreed that it would be a good thing that they had apparently all the crows that were in the country within reach, to no nightly raids on them, and thus save a good deal of future loss to cornfields. Accordingly, a party of seven, armed with guns long poles, and some of them carrying tools, began the work of destruction. They reached the woods where the crows were sleeping about 9 o'clock. The torches wilt lit, and the raiders entered the woods. They had not proceeded far when they were gone with a yell of disfiance from 100 crows. The yell was followed by hands of the birds boldly attacking the invader party, using both beak and claw with an effect that she surprised backwoods were forced to flee to save themselves. They were followed to the edge of the woods flocks of infuriated crows, and not a bird was fired nor a crow killed. On Monday morning for this first time a flock left the woods, but all was busy commotion and noise among the crows entire colony seemed to be in motion among the trees. Crows were darting in all directions uttering peculiar cries, and evading anxious to be everywhere at once. Just fore noon matters became comparative quiet, and then small flocks began to emerge from the woods, going in all directions. Exodus continued until late in the afternoon when every crow had disappeared, and none came back. The scene in the piece of wood they had occupied is described as remarkable. Every tree had one or more branches torn from it, and they lay piled about on the ground as if they had been awaken by a whirlwind. Every foot of ground turned up, plainly by the crows searching insects for food. "Every spring," says an old citizen of this village,"the crows like wild pigeons gather somewhere about the country to do their courting and make this spring they biped to select High Knob because scouts they sent out to get a place for them liked it, and guided rest to the spot." The love-making progresses flocks of crows go out to select good nesting and foraging places. They come back to the roost report, and a grand discussion is had on this After these matters are all settled,and every crow is mated,they form into flocks twenty or so,and after they bid each other good-bye leave for the respective next places selected for them.Last Monday for ensoon where there was such a common From Folsom the Verdot is reported to be of medium vigor and a light bearer. Its bunches were considerably more compact than in the figure given in French works. This was found to be very generally the case in the varieties sent from Folsom, and is probably attributable to the youth of the vines. In other respects the grapes tallied well with the description. Its maturity, however, was much earlier than reported from France, as it was gathered September 18th, about the middle of the vintage of last year, and was at the time fully ripe. It was thus earlier than the Beclan, Cinsaut, Cabernet Sauvignon, and others, that in France precede it, and simultaneous with Cabernet Franc, Sirash and Petit Bouschet. This is the more remarkable as it was grafted on the stock of a late variety—the Mission. Quite a number of parallel cases may be noted in the series of Folsom grapes; and others are known to occur among our more common varieties. It is thus obvious that many grape blends not practicable in France may be perfectly feasible with us, especially when the differences in the time of ripening that may result from grafting upon the various resistant stocks (referred to in bulletin No. 34) are duly utilized. April 9, 1885 (K. W. H.)—The condition of the wine is bright, the color unchanged in quality and intensity. The bouquet has developed decidedly, promising a high quality tartar with an agreeable fruitiness. It does not dilute well; with 50 per cent of water its quality is almost lost. Personally, the writer is a good deal impressed with the qualities of the Verdot wine as resulting from its culture at Folsom; but the light production of the vine and the low percentage of juice must not be forgotten. MERLOT. Like the Verdot, the Merlot is altogether a grape of the Bordeaux region, and is planted as well as blended more or less with the better qualities of wine, especial the Caberneta. It matures earlier than the latter, and is therefore planted on northern exposures in order to retard maturity. The very dark-tinted grape is very sweet and agreeable, but very delicate, and must be gathered as soon as ripe; this wine also in delicate, lighter than those of the Caberneta, and matures more quickly, but does not attain as high quality. It is pruned more or less long, according to the vigor of the vine, which is quite productive. From Folsom the Merlot is reported to be a light bearer of fair vigor, used in ripening. The grapes were in good condition when we as present. He admitted offering to pay for a teacher to teach her. He was aware she was being taught, but not at his expense. In answer to the Sheriff, he said that according to the lottery ticket the organ was valued at 100 guineas. Defender stated she was nineteen years of age. She remembered of the pursuer getting the organ, and showing her a Dundee paper with the results of the lottery at Burntisland Station one morning they were going to Edinburgh together. When the visitors came to see the organ at her father's house it was known as "Maggie's organ." (Laughter.) She had since ceased to be on intimate terms with pursuer. In reply to her agent, she said that pursuer offered to pay for a teacher to teach her to play the organ. She was being taught at present, but the expense was defrayed by her mother. On the Sunday morning that the organ arrived at Burntisland, defender said, "There's your organ at last." (Laughter.) She replied that he should send it home to his parents. At that time she could not play on the organ, and unless it had been given to her she would never have learnt it. There was no engagement between them. She had no particular partiality for him. (Laughter.) It was not true she had broken off the engagement, as she had never stood in any other relation to him than as a friend. She had only known him for about a year. The way she became acquainted with him was his coming about the house with her brother John, who worked in the same office. The organ was most positively presented to her. For the pursuer several witnesses were examined, who stated that pursuer had said the organ was for Maggie, and that when anyone came to see it, it was always known as "Maggie's organ." The proof created great amusement in Court. After hearing agents, the Sheriff took the case to avizandum. Wendens Never Chance Prof. C. Donaldson, New Orleans, La., proprietor of Museums, who suffered eighty years with rheumatic pains, states he has spent two thousand dollars to get owned. After trying doctors, famous baths, electric appliances and lagrams of lime without ruin, he treated Sa. Jacques Oil which completely cured him. It is a wonderful remedy, he says, and he has sold his creations somewhere about the country to do courting and mate. This spring they began to select the High Knob, because scouts they sent out to get a place for their liked it, and guided the rest to the spot. The love-making progresses flocks of crows go out to select good nectaring and foraging places. They come back to the roost report, and a grand discussion is had on this after these matters are all settled, and even crow is mated, they form into flocks twenty or so, and after they bid each other good-by, leave for the respective nest places selected for them. Last Monday for enoon, when there was such a commotion among the crows on the Knob, they went taking leave of one another. There will bably never be another crow roost in this part of the country. Next year it may in Kentucky." No Office For Nachby.

But it was a disgustful matter after A GREAT CROW BOOST. SKILL, Penn., April 14.—As Simon a farmer, living near High Knob, in south-western part of the county, was going in the woods about half way up mountain on Thursday last, he was at by a flock of crows which appeared only from a southern direction and in a high tree a hundred yards off. A great deal of loud cawing the flock and saw away in the direction from they had come. Travel then went on to work. At the middle of the afternoon, amour the crows had taken their departure, seemed to look southward, and saw a sky was black with some approach. In a few minutes he discovered was an immense flock of crows, that kept into the Knob woods, and with a of wings and daunting clamor of settled down into the trees, whose branches became blackened with the top to bottom. For three hours after flock of crows poured into the until the side of the hill for a space than forty acres was covered so with them that big branches were from the trees beneath their weight. It early dark when the last flock found a place in the woods, and midnight before quiet was restored in the vast nation. Grows remained in the woods until Sunday. Early every morning flocks start out from the colony, taking directions, and after being absent for or so would one after another re-Their arrival was greeted with the commotion all through the woods, as cawing and flapping of wings be-Up for some minutes.

Whatever may be charged against the Kemman Ditching church, it cannot be gainsaid that she has ever been the friend of the arts of painting sculpture and music, and that without her churning once much that we now have at glories voles of early art would have been destroyed and lost. This is especially true of music. The highest and grandest contributions to the musical art have been inspired by the Catholic church, and are the work of her coterie. In the music that will be sung in the churches today some of the hymns are eight hundred years old, coming to us out of what we are pleased to term the darkness of the middle age. The Geogarian chant, or tone, a name given to certain choral melodies, gets its name from Pope Gregory the Great, who was himself a musician and taught of the Lateran Palace, so that this form of music comes to us from about 590-600. This ecclesiastical chant is the chant of the Catholic church all over the world. In it we have all that the priest sings at the mass, and it is in general use by choirs of ecclesiastica. In the course of time abuses of one kind or another crept into church music, for the reason that there was no established form until the time of Pope Marcellus II, about 1555. In his time music had so degenerated that he thought to throw it out of the church altogether. Before proceeding to this extreme step, however, a consultation was held with Palestrina, a great musician. He promised the Pope to introduce music that would not be chargeable with the grossness and uncontainness of that which it was to supersede. He composed the work known as the "Messa di Papa Marcello" (the mass of Pope Marcellus) which was so thoroughly a successa two made money; she brought pounds with her for her purse.

The theme has been treated by many musical composers. The "Magnificat" has been used as the vesper cicle of the church from time immemorial, and the evening office has also been so constructed as to lead up to it as its chief point of interest. The text of the "Magnificat" has been grandly illustrated by Bach, Mondelsohn and active composers of the modern school in the oratorio style, with full orchestral accompaniments. King Robert II., of France, who succeeded to the throne of his father, Hugh Capet, in 1997, is credited with the authorship of this course of time abuses of one kind or another crept into church music, for the reason that there was no established form until the time of Pope Marcellus II, about 1555.

He composed the work known as the "Messa di Papa Marcello" (the mass of Pope Marcellus) which was so thoroughly a success that the Pope accepted him, and gave him full powers to go on and recast and remodel as he chose. The mass of Pope Marcellus is a magnificent work. It was given at the recent Plenary Council at Baltimore. This style of music is that which forms the basis of that made known by the Cecilian Society, which is now widely spread over the United States with the intention of encouraging good classical church music. This Palestrina music is the style used in the Sistine Chapel, where the Pope to-day will celebrate Easter. The celebrated Misereres for which the Sistine Chapel is famous in Holy week, composed by Baini, Mustapha and others, are sung in that music, and to hear them during the week just closed people flocked to the chapel from all parts of the world. The grandest musical achievements of the masters of the past one hundred years have been in church music, and the names of Beethoven, Meyerbeer, Hayden, Handel, Mozart, Mendelssohn, and later, Rossini and Gounod, are attached to numerous so-called themes. Gounod, who is still living, has composed a beautiful "Ave Maria." Marcellus composed a number of beautiful masses. The masses most popular in Rome today are those of Mercadante, Tirziana, and De Pietro, a Jesuit Rosini's "Stabat Mater" is always a favorite in Rome. Of Palestrina's music, it should be understood that it was never written by him, but taught, and is traditional. No less a person than the illustrious Charlemagne himself is the reputed author of the "Vena Creator Spiritur," who died at Aix-la-Chapelle, his crown upon his head, and his copy of the gospels upon his knees, January 28, 814, so that it is now at least 1074 years old. The "O Salutaris Hostia" is a hymn sung during the office called benediction, at the moment when the tabernacle is opened in order that the consecrated host may be removed and placed in the monstrace prepared for its solemn exposition.

King Robert II., of France, who succeeded to the throne of his father, Hugh Capet, in 1997, is credited with the authorship of this course of time abuses of one kind or another crept into church music, for the reason that there was no established form until the time of Pope Marcellus II, about 1555. In his time music had so degenerated that he thought to throw it out of the church altogether. Before proceeding to this extreme step, however, a consultation was held with Palestrina, a great musician. He promised the Pope to introduce music that would not be chargeable with the grossness and uncontessness of that which it was to supersede. He composed the work known as the "Messa di Papa Marcello" (the mass of Pope Marcellus) which was so thoroughly a success that the Pope accepted him, and gave him full powers to go on and recast and remodel as he chose. The mass of Pope Marcellus is a magnificent work. It was given at the recent Plenary Council at Baltimore. This style of music is that which forms the basis of that made known by the Cecilian Society, which is now widely spread over the United States with the intention of encouraging good classical church music. This Palestrina music is the style used in the Sistine Chapel, where the Pope to-day will celebrate Easter. The celebrated Misereres for which the Sistine Chapel is famous in Holy week, composed by Baini, Mustapha and others, are sung in that music, and to hear them during the week just closed people flocked to the chapel from all parts of the world. The grandest musical achievements of the masters of the past one hundred years have been in church music, and the names of Beethoven, Meyerbeer, Hayden, Handel, Mozart, Mendelssohn, and later, Rossini and Gounod, are attached to numerous so-called themes. Gounod, who is still living, has composed a beautiful "Ave Maria." Marcellus composed a number of beautiful masses. The masses most popular in Rome today are those of Mercadante, Tirziana, and De Pietro, a Jesuit Rosini's "Stabat Mater" is always a favorite in Rome. Of Palestrina's音乐，it should be understood that it was never written by him，但 taught，and is traditional. No less a person than the illustrious Charlemagne himself is the reputed author of the "Vena Creator Spiritur," who died at Aix-la-Chapelle，his crown upon his head，and by that light would sit and make as good work as many other daylight.

Hill then accepted a place in the Treasury, but a change in government dismissed him. He was generally regarded as a public benefactor, and a sub-scription was raised for his benefit in London, which amounted to £15,000, or $45,000. This goes to show the approbation with which he was regarded by a grateful nation. In 1846 he was appointed secretary to the Postmaster-General. In 1860 he was made K.C.B. in recognition of his public services. We print the following curious and interesting story, though we do not know its origin. There is a slight probability that it may have been what set Mr. Hill to thinking; it is as follows: "One day a girl came out of an inn located in the north of England and received from a postman a letter, which she turned over in her hand as she inquired the price of the postage. The man asked a shilling, a sum too large for one so poor as herself to pay, and so she returned the letter to the postman with sadness, although she knew that her brother had sent it. "But a sympathetic traveler named Howland Hill stood by, and at this moment interposed, and insisted on paying the shillings himself, although the girl seemed strongly avene to his doing so. When the postman had departed the kind-hearted Mr. Hill was surprised that there was no need for his spity, for the envelope contained no written communication, but on its outside were certain marks agreed upon by herself and brother, from which as she held the letter in her hands, she gathered all the information she desired. 'We are both so poor,' she continued, 'that we invented this mode of correspondence without paying for letters.'" "How can I find out all about the young lady to whom I am engaged?" asks a prospective benedict. Has she a younger brother? If so, consult him. There are many physicians who cannot spell correctly the names of diseases they treat. This is doubtless due to the contagion of their patients' bad spells. Ayer's Catholic Pills are the best medicine that can be employed to correct irregularities of the stomach and bowels. Gerda yet through, in their action, they are conspicuous: stimulate the digestive organs and thus maintain health. The following odd sermon is said to have been actually prescheduled many years since in the parish church of Boreton, Norfolk. It was printed in the British Magazine for November 1750. Most of the names mentioned now stand in the parish registers, and the family names still exist in the neighborhood. "Fight the good fights."—I Tim., vol. 12. Bewonder. We are met together to enunciate the funeral of Mr. Proctor. His father's name was Thomas Procher. He lived some time at Burston Hall, in Norfolk, and was High Constable of Dum lundred. This man's name was Robert Procher, and his wife's name was Mrs. Baxton. late wife of Matthew Sutton. She came from Holden Hall beyond Morden. He was a good humble man with a good demeanor and always cheerful. Increase of Insanity Dr. W.E.

Sylvester, in a paper which appeared recently in the Allenist and Neurologist, states that twenty years ago the number of insane persons in the United States was only 24,042. In 1870 it had reached 432, and in 1880 treatment was required for 91,959 lunatics. From 1870 to 1880 the increase in insanity was nearly 150 per cent, while that of the total population was about 3. These figures do not, however, represent actual increase, but during this period large number of insane persons, previously unsecured, were brought to public notice by Increase of Insanity. Dr. W. E. Sylvester, in a paper which appeared recently in the Allionist and Neurolist, states that twenty years ago the number of insane persons in the United States was only 24,042. In 1870 it had reached 432, and in 1880 treatment was required for 91,959 lunatics. From 1870 to 1880 the increase in insanity was nearly 150 per cent, while that of the total population was about 1. These figures do not, however, represent actual increase, but during this period large number of insane persons, previously uncaused, were brought to public notice by more thorough investigation. In America, apart from several large county asylums, there are eighty State and forty private institutions for the care of the insane, with a proper capacity for about 40,000, but containing 53,192, thus leaving probably 45,000 be cared for elsewhere. The proportion insane is greatest in New England, while the increase has been most rapid in the western States. In the State of New York there are thirty-five institutions for the care of these unfortunate people, accommodating 343 patients, while it is said that there are 4,000 provided for at home. Ancient Trees Trees have been found in Africa which are computed to be 5,150 years old, and a press in Mexico is said to have reached a full greater age. The oldest individual specimen of any species—in fact, the oldest thing upon the globe—is probably the press of Santa Maria del Tule, in the Mexican State of Oaxaca. If estimates of ages are to be relied upon, the life of an venerable forest monarch may have marked the whole period of written history; last accounts it was still growing, and in 21, when Humboldt saw it, it measured feet in diameter, 146 in circumference, and 382 feet between the extremities of two opposite branches. The "constantly fired-out" feeling or often perceived is the result of unsuccessful head and consequent exasperated vitality.
