WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY MAY 9, 1863 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. The ladies—bless 'em—who have been enthusiastic in endeavoring to make silk culture popular and profitable in California, have probably undertaken too large a contract. A New York paper points out that the best French, Italian and Japan raw silks are sold at $5 in New York, which is below the cost of manufacture in America. The law's delays, when invoked by subtle lawyers and unlimited capital, is well illustrated in a suit which was decided last week in a Pennsylvania Court. The suit was brought against a railroad corporation eighteen years ago, to recover damages for baggage destroyed in the company's station. The final verdict gives the plaintiff $18,000. The war between England and Russia has been postponed. Another attempt is to be made to settle the question at issue without bloodshed. From a sentimental standpoint this is a happy result, but it is a most humiliating one to England. Gladstone's policy of peace, it may be said, is not popular with the English masses, and he will doubtless end his public career under the cloud of popular disapproval. The mild Connecticut swindle of wooden nutmegs has been surpassed by the perverted ingenuity of a Georgia man who has reaped a harvest by painting the plumage of a number of birds and disposing of them like hot cakes and at very fancy prices to unsupecting buyers. The fraud was finally discovered, however, by one of his purchasers, who dipped one of the bird's feathers in water, when its beautiful tint disappeared. After Jefferson had been President for two years, he wrote: "We have made sixteen removals on political principles alone in very urgent cases, and we are determined to make no more except for delinquency or active and bitter partisan opposition." Two Maritime Grape Varieties The latest Bulletin from the Agricultural Department of the University of California describes the Beclan, the Cabernet Franc and the Cabernet Sauvignon. We have only room this week for the description of the two last named, both of which have been planted to some extent in Anaheim the past season: CABERNET FRANC. The Cabernet Franc occupies a prominent place as one of the standard wine grapes of the Bordeaux region. It is a vigorous and hardy vine, which, wherever it is grown in a suitable soil, yields wines of high and delicate bouquet and of excellent keeping qualities. This characteristic bouquet is due to a peculiarity of the grape, which is maintained under the most diverse conditions of growth; while the grape-stems, highly charged with tannin, yield abundance of the latter substance, so as sometimes to render it desirable to exclude them from the vat. The berries resist rains and moisture remarkably well, so that they can be fully matured without fear of injury. Such full maturity, necessary for the production of the "great wines," can only be attained in climates at least as warm as that of Bordeaux, it being a grape of the second epoch in ripening. The Cabernet massacre especially in dry and stony soils, in which vines of less vigorous habits could not prosper. In deep and rich soils it runs to wood and its berries lose largely their quality. It is a shy bearer, and must always be pruned long. At Folsom the Cabernet Franc showed fair vigor, and although a light bearer it was somewhat more prolific than Cabernet Sauvignon and ripened a few days earlier. The grapes were gathered, fairly ripe, on September 18th, and again, more fully matured, on September 23d. The last invoice was mainly used for blends, the first being made into wine by itself. The grapes were quite acid to the taste and not very juicy, with a peculiar, faintly "foxy" aroma, and no very prominent astringency; the must showed only 19.9 per cent of sugar. The fermentation of 121.2 pounds, crushed on September 20th, began on September 22d and reached its maximum next morning at a temperature of 82.4° F.; then gradually fell to the cellar temperature on September 27th, when the murk was drawn off, seven days good condition at the University, and corresponded accurately to the description, also as regards the differences from the Cabernet France, the latter having looser bunches and smaller berries, and a more decided flavor. The fermentation of 84.5 pounds crushed Sept. 25, and showing 23.13 per cent of sugars, began on the morning of the 27th, at 66.2° F., reached its maximum of 73.4° F. on Sept. 29, the temperature of the room being 70° at the time, then fell slowly to the cellar temperature on Oct. 4, when the murk was drawn off, 9 days from the crushing. Yield from the above amount 6.5 gallons, corresponding to 153 gallons per ton; pomace 17.2 per cent, being the largest of all the grapes worked, while that of juice was the smallest. It will be noted that the fermentation started very promptly, but progressed slowly, though steadily, the temperature rising but a few degrees above that of the cellar. The young wine was racked from the lees on Nov. 14, and again on March 21. Record of tasting. Nov. 14, 1884. (Pohndorff.) Excellent, of deep ruby color, and clean taste, though slightly affected by the sulphuring of the grapes. First week of December, report of Vit Convention Committee. (No record regarding the above pure sample.) A sample of Cabernet Sauvignon U. No. 80, of Pfeffer, Santa Clara county, shows excellent qualities, and is of a velvety pleasant taste. Blend U. 43, Cab. Sanvignon with Gross-blane, is inferior to No. 14, while blend U. 54, Cab. Sanvignon with Mourastel and Carignan, although the latter grape has imparted to it a taste of mold, showed distinctly the adaptability of this combination, which it would be well to continue trying in different proportions of the ingredients. February 9, 1885. (Pohndorff.) Wine in a 4-gallon keg is well preserved; notwithstanding the thin staves, it is unimpaired in quality, and confirms the fine keeping qualities of the wine, or at least its easy handling in its first youth. Development very good, but compared with that in the vial (see below) is backward. Sample in 1-gallon keg is equally well preserved and unaffected by the still greater thinness of the keg staves, allowing too easy evaporation and oxidation. A bottle of the same which on Nov. 14th had thrown out the cork was kept without filling up. Taste still sound, flavor charac- After Jefferson had been President for two years, he wrote: "We have made sixteen removals on political principles alone in very urgent cases, and we are determined to make no more except for delinquency or active and bitter partisan opposition." This was at the rate of two removals for each two months, it will be observed. We commend the showing to the Democrats who are complaining of Cleveland's slowness in the matter of making vacancies, and yet begging him to be like Jefferson. English consols which have of late been the most watched quotation on the markets of the world amount in value to $3,500,000,000, on which the annual interest is $145,000,000. They constitute a perpetual obligation of the United Kingdom, bearing 3 per cent interest and representing an irredeemable principal. For seven years back they have not been quoted as low as at present, their fluctuations being confined to between 90 and 100, closing Tuesday at 95 and a fraction. The idea of the consul, and wherein it differs from our national debt, is that the principal may vary in amount, but the interest never. The word consul, by-the-way, is an abbreviation of "consolidated annuities." The Socialists seem to be peculiarly rampant in Chicago. They are allowed to do pretty much as they please in that city, and the fact that they confine themselves to insane ravings, and now and then, mob some unobvious person when they find him unprotected, is evidence that they are acowardly lot of lunatics. Their latest demonstration was two weeks ago on the night of the dedication of the new Board of Trade building, which has cost two million dollars, and of which the respectable people of the city are quite proud. The Socialists met and talked dynamite, murder, etc., denouncing the Board of Trade as a Board of Thieves, and such like rot. They then paraded the streets, and meeting a carriage in which was a Board of Trade man and his wife, they pelted them with stones, wounding the lady, and overturning the carriage. After this exposition of their bravery and principles they dispersed. And of such is the Chicago Socialist we hear so much about. Trial by jury is a roaring farce, sometimes. Some of the verdicts reached by the intelligent dozen are most extraordinary and amazing to everybody but themselves. And the strangest thing about it is that outside of the jury room the men possess ordinary intelligence, which they seem to lose the moment they are called upon to act as jurors. A sample case is the result of the trial of the Fenian, Short, for stabbing Captain Phelan in O'Donovan Rossa's office in New York. The facts of the case are well known to readers of newspapers. Phelan was stabbed a harvest by painting the plamage of a number of birds and disposing of them like hot cakes and at very fancy prices to unsuspecting buyers.

Some of the verdicts reached by the intelligent dozen are most extraordinary and amazing to everybody but themselves. And the strangest thing about it is that outside of the jury room the men possess ordinary intelligence, which they seem to lose the moment they are called upon to act as jurors. A sample case is the result of the trial of the Fenian, Short, for stabbing Captain Phelan in O'Denovan Rossa's office in New York. The facts of the case are well known to readers of newspapers. Phelan was stabbed nearly to death by Short for alleged betrayal of Fenian secrets. There was no denial of the assault, and yet the jury on Wednesday brought in a verdict of "not guilty." Even the hardened Judge was indignant at the verdict, so contrary to the law and evidence, and said: "Gentlemen, I am astonished at your verdict; you are discharged from all further service on this panel." In searching for an excuse for the decision of the jury, it may be found in the fact that they were in sympathy with the dynamite section of which Short was the avenger. Gen. Irwin McDowell, of the U. S. Army, died in San Francisco on Tuesday. He was once well known as "Bull Run McDowell." A hear was killed and its cub captured in the First ward of the city of Syracuse, N. Y., on last Saturday. It was probably driven out from the north by the recent storms. A Washington special says: There are now in the Treasury vanilla but $9,000,000 in silver dollars and $3,500,000 in gold coin, while at New York there are $30,000,000 in silver dollars and $75,000,000 in gold. The New York Tribune reprints documents which it says on their face certainly indicate that Representative Henley is a citizen of Mexico, and though he thinks life too short to be spent making further explanation they will nevertheless be in order next December. It is learned that the cause of Propera Bid's attempted suicide in San Francisco Saturday, was his discovery that he was afflicted with leprosy. He is still living, conscious and able to talk without apparent trouble, although the bullet went through his roof of his mouth and upward through his hand, carrying with it at the point of exit part of the skull and some brain matter, Feb. 26th, 1885. (Pohndorff.) Cabernet Franc in a 4 gallon keg is well advanced in its development, and shows the characteristic grand perfume of its variety; has deported itself particularly well, but has felt the adverse circumstances due to the thinness of the staves. Comparing the hardiness of the Cabernet Franc wine with that from the Cab. Sauvignon, the Natoma samples prove the latter to be the more staple one. A sample of Cab. Franc in bottle on some lees has developed beautifully, its taste being frank and expressive, body good and color well preserved. April 29. (E. W. H.) The condition of the wine is bright, color fine although only moderately intense; bouquet developing slowly, but the peculiar flavor of the grape well pronounced, together with a markedly smooth vinous taste. A sample preserved in a bottle since February is more harsh in taste, but bouquet better developed. It should be no noted that Cab. Franc has thus shown here all the qualities attributed to it in France including that of the hardiness of the grape itself, which remained sound for several weeks, stored on shelves in the basement. CABERNET SAUVIGNON: The Cabernet Sauvignon is closely related to the Cabernet Franc, and greatly resembles it in most respects; it ripens a few days earlier, and is quite as good a keeper; its wine has a peculiar body and a great deal of bouquet and perfume; its color is somewhat deeper than that of the Cabernet Franc. The wine is fully as good a keeper as the latter, and matures a little more slowly, generally requiring one year more in the cask before bottling. The Cabernet Sauvignon enters into a very large proportion of the wines of Lafitte, Mouton, Latour, Leoville, and most of the "Grands Cura." A soil of gravel mingled with clayey sand is that in which this vine prospers most; in marly soils it produces but little. It bears chiefly on the upper endsof the canes, hence requires long praining; and in order to counteract the tendency to fruiting on the ends only, the canes are bent in training on trellises. The berries, which are rather small are quita thick skinned and have the peculiar flavor of all Cabernet varieties. They ripen somewhat late in the second epoch. From Folsom the Cabernet Savignon is reported to be of fair vigor and a light bearer. The grapes were gathered on September 24th fully ripe; they were received in favored by a new rich packer in New York State, who seek to crush the smaller packers, thus limiting the competition. Many California packers and others put up two kinds of goods, standards and extras. To one of these brands they attach their name. Hereafter the genuine signatures of the packers must be attached to all the brands. It is admitted by consumers generally that goods sold under dealers' brands are better than those sold under packers' brands. We take the trouble to build up a special line of canned goods. When we reach the high-water mark, up comes a bill which prevents us from using our own name for what is manifestly our own mark. Ask any California packer, he will tell you we handle his goods more successfully if we shoulder the responsibility. Gov. Hill is to give the Committee of the Dealers' Association a hearing next Tuesday. We hope to be able to prevent him from signing the bill." The World this morning says: The purpose of the bill when originally conceived was to make producers of canned goods mark each can with the date of sealing. This would give the public some guarantee of the freshness of the article, and this has been avoided, owing mainly to the pressure of the canned goods manufacturers themselves. A Horrible Affair. SAN FRANCISCO, May 3—The Evening Post's Tucson (Ariz.) special says: An account of a terrible tragedy has just been received from Taratan, Mexico. The seven-year-old son of a wealthy resident named Lopez was kidnapped, and the father notified that the child would be killed if a $75,-000 ransom was not deposited at a certain place within two days. By accident the note to the father was not delivered until too late to negotiate with the criminals. At the expiration of the second day the father found the body of the child in his courtyard, horribly mutilated. A twelve-year-old sister, on seeing her brother's corpse, fell dead, and the father became a raving maniac. The perpetrators are being sought, and if caught they will be lynched. Among four thousand immigrants landed at Castle Garden, New York, last week, there was one woman with a curvature of the spine, a man with both legs cut off, an armless woman and several blind people, and a child had six fingers on each hand. Most of the immigrants are bound for Manitoba, Iowa and California. at the University, and correrately to the description, also differences from the Cabernet ter having lower bunches and and a more decided flavor. ation of 84.5 pounds crushed showing 23.13 per cent of on the morning of the 27th, at its maximum of 73.4° F. the temperature of the room betime, then fell slowly to the tature on Oct. 4, when the murk 9 days from the crushing, above amount 6.5 gallons, to 153 gallons per ton; pomace being the largest of all the while that of juices was the will be noted that the fermentvery promptly, but progressough steadily, the temperature new degrees above that of the young wine was racked from Nov. 14, and again on March 24.

So good an authority as Editor Holt of the Riverside Press commends Anaheim as one of the best localities in the State for the cultivation of the walnut. It does not require an expert to arrive at this conclusion, for the size and appearance of the trees growing here show, even to the inexperienced eye, that the best conditions for their growth are here met with. The neighborhood of Downey has also been considered favorable for the walnut, but recent revelations have changed this opinion. Many of the trees in that section have died recently; from the railroad car can be seen a hundred trees either dead or dying. The explanation of this is that the roots have got down to the alkali with which the lower strata is impregnated, and the result is the death of the tree. Nothing of the kind occur here: the tree has no insect enemy, and the chic reason why it is not more extensively planted probably lies in the fact that the six or seven years intervening between the time of planting and the period of bearing is too long a drain on the average settler's purse. As to the profit of walnut culture, we quote the following from the Modesto Republican: It may not generally be known that the English walnut is the most profitable of all the nut bearing trees. When in full bearing they will yield about 300 pounds of nuts to the tree. The nuts sell at eight cents per pound, or $24 to the tree. If only twenty-seven trees are planted on an acre, says a Los Angeles orchardist, the income would be $549 per acre, or from twenty acres, $10,800 per year. The Los Angeles orchardist has placed the number of trees per acre entirely too low. Double that number of trees can be advantageously grown on an acre. As a celebrated orator has remarked: "If there is any lie in this story, it isn't mine." Another quotation, though not timely, may prove of value when the proper season comes round: Last Sunday we learned a method of germinating walnuts which, while it may not be new, we think of sufficient importance to chronicle. Business took us to the residence of J. Z. Zumwalt, of this place, who has the contract for setting out walnut trees around the Masonic and Old Fellows' cemeteries, and as he sprouted his own trees, we were anxious to learn his method. This he explained to us in a few moments. He had about a bushel of nuts to start with, these he put together in a pile on the ground where the sun would reach them at all. Many People Killed. Brooklyn, May 5.-Shortly after 9 o'clock this morning there was a crash at 65 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, and the people on looking up from the streets saw that the roof of the building had fallen in and that a portion of the walls had toppled. They could hear the screams of the people injured, and it seemed but a moment when a volume of smoke rolled up, showing that the building had taken fire. Hundreds of people—men, women and girls—were at work at the various branches of business carried on in the building, which covered considerable ground, having wings which extend through from Atlantic to State street. As soon as the crash of the falling roof was heard, hundreds of those employed in the building endeavored to make their way out by every avenue of escape, and some who were the last to reach the street appeared with begrimed faces and blood streaming from their wounds, which they had received from the falling timbers. The excitement in the neighborhood became very great, and in a short time the wives of the men who were known to be working in the building, and the parents of the girls who were employed, blocked the streets. Three alarms of the were sent out and the services of a large number of the police had to be called in to keep the people out of the way of danger. The west wall of the middle wing on Atlantic avenue had settled and workmen were screwing it up with jackets. The middle jack had been screwed up too high and it was lowered, when the whole weight of the wall came upon the two jacks at the end and it fell with a crash. The cause of the fire was the overturning of the boilers of a soap factory on the second floor. The building was occupied by thirty small manufacturers and there were about 500 men and women employed there. It was a five-story and was erected twenty-seven years ago. It was reported at first that about a hundred girls who were employed in the Milo Hynes Button Works, which was on the top floor where the roof fell in, were killed, but it appears that most of the girls made their escape by climbing on the roofs of tenement-houses. When the firemen arrived they found many young women at the windows screaming wildly for help, their retreat being cut off, and the firemen quickly ran up ladders, but the girls were seemed in and many fell As a celebrated orator has remarked: "There is any lie in this story, it isn't mine." Another quotation, though not timely, may prove of value when the proper season comes round: Last Sunday we learned a method of germinating walnuts which, while it may not be new, we think of sufficient importance to chronicle. Business took us to the residence of J. Z. Zumwalt, of this place, who has contract for setting out walnut trees around the Masonic and Old Fellows cemeteries, and as he sprouted his own trees, we were anxious to learn his method. This he explained to us in a few moments. He had about a bushel of nuts to start with, these he put together in a pile on the ground where the sun would reach them at all hours of the day. He then thoroughly wet the nuts and covered them with four or five thicknesses of gummy sacks also thoroughly wet, and then every day or two he poured water on the pile to keep the sacks and nuts wet, and in ten days or two weeks' time the whole pile of nuts were sprouted and ready for setting out. The plan is a simple and effective one, and may be generally practiced by nurserymen, but we had never heard of it before, though we have often heard of the failure of parties to sprout their trees by planting the nuts. Whether too late this season to try the method or not, we give the facts, and parties interested can act on the hint.—Willow's Journal. From the forestry report for 1877 we glean the following: Before dry lay the nuts in heap on dry ground, cover with straw, and over this three or four inches of earth. Plant in spring like acorns, except the black walnuts and butternutras should be placed two feet apart. The black walnut is so easy culture and rapid growth. Plant by itself, as it is a bad neighbor, and fruit trees near it soon perish. Jumping a Graveyard. VIRGINIA CITY, May 3 — The old graveyard near the old school house in South's Valley, says the Lyon county Town, has been located as a mineral claim by a couple of parties in that neighborhood. There are remains of some fifteen or twenty persons buriedin this old cemetery, and, as it has been fenced in and notices posted, there can be no more burials made there. The citizens of the valley are in a quandary how to act in the matter, and are very indignant about it. It is rumored that the parties who have located the ground have information which leads them to believe that upon the bodies of two stage robbers who were buried in this cemetery several years ago there was a considerable amount of gold coin. The graves of these dead robbers, through neglect have been obliterated so that is impossible to tell where they are; the people who have friends buried there of course refused to allow the locaters to dig up the bodies prominously, and so the ground has been located as a mineral claim and will be thoroughly worked over by the prospectors in search of gold already coined into money. Republican Robbery Exposed WASHINGTON, May 7 — Treasurer Jordan says the Treasury count is practically over and everything found most satisfactory. The three silver dollars which escaped from a broken package in the silver vanit have been found, so the only discrepancy is two cents missing from a five dollar package of pennies in the cash room. Yesterday a heavy treasure box, wrapped in red tape and securely bound, was found in an out of the way nook of the vault. The occupied by thirty small manufacturers and there were about 500 men and women employed there. It was a five-story and was erected twenty-seven years ago. It was reported at first that about a hundred girls who were employed in the Milo Hynes Button Works, which was on the top floor where the roof fell in, were killed, but it appears that most of the girls made their escape by climbing on the roofs of tenement-houses. When the firemen arrived they found many young women at the windows screaming wildly for help, their retreat being cut off, and the fireman quickly ran up ladders, but the girls were hemmed in and many fell back into the flames before help could reench them. The character of the building hindered the efforts of the firemen. Milo Hynes, who occupied the top floor for the manufacture of buttons, states: "At 9 o'clock I was in my room directing the work of my employees, of whom there were forty, mostly women. The first we heard of the accident when we heard a crash and this was followed by part of the flooring giving way. In one corner of my room there was a ladder leading to the roof and all the employees made a rush for it. There was a panic among the women for a time and two or three of them fainted, but the foreman soon succeeded in restoring order. Then in single file the employees climbed the ladder and gained the roof. The girls marched out in good order, garned the roof of an adjunct building and reached the street by descending the three escapes." The number of victims is estimated at from 17 to 30. He Killed Seven Persons. DENVER, Oct. May 6 — The Tulane Republican's special from Fort Stanton, N.M., says: Yesterday, about 3 A.M., at Bounty, fifteen miles from here, Martin Nelson arose from bed and while committing a robbery shot and killed Dr. Win.H. Flynn, late of Boston, who was sleeping in the same room with Nelson, upstairs in the house of M.S. Maybury. The firearm raised the family, when Nelson shot and killed Maybury, his wife and two sons. A little daughter was wounded fatally. A neighbor was alarmed and came to the house, and he was shot dead. It was supposed the murder remained in the house, and the citizens watched it to prevent his escape, but at 7 A.M., the guard was surprised to hear a shot from the rear, and Herman Beck fell dead. Nelson then came down the street, tiring his Winchester until he was shot dead. A Dangerous Wife. BALTIMORE, May 3 — Mrs. Bernard Call, who has recently manifested unmistakable signs of insanity, made a savage attack upon her husband at midnight, and soon had him at her mercy. She throw him upon the floor, seized his left ear with her teeth and tore it in a dreadful manner. She then fastened her teeth in his breast and badly laceated the flesh. Call's face was scratched out of all recognition, and when the neighbors attracted by his screams, rushed in, the blood was streaming from his wounds. The frantic woman was overpowered, and when she gazed confusedly at her husband, the sight seemed to recall her tottering rea- Republican Robbery Exposed Washington, May 7. — Treasurer Jordan says the Treasury count is practically over and everything found most satisfactory.

Yesterday a heavy treasure box, wrapped in red tape and securely bound, was found in an out of the way nook of the vault. The key was mialaid. A locksmith opened the box, and it was found to contain a bottle of diamonds, a bottle of pearls, a bottle of attar of roses and a lump of gold. One of the old employees identified the articles as presents to President Monroe, about the year 1823, from the Japanese government, and which has been stored in the Treasury pending the passage of an act of Congress authorizing their acceptance. Congress failed to legislate on the subject, and the articles were deposited in the Treasury, where they have remained ever since. Foote's Feat Considerable excitement was created on Liedendorff street, between Pine and California, yesterday, by an assault committed upon R. E. Culbreth, the editor of the City Argus, by W. W. Foote, one of the Railroad Commissioners. Culbreth is a slightly built man, in delicate health, while Foote is tall and vigorous and weighs over 200 pounds. The cause of the trouble is said to have been an allusion, not by name, to the method in which it is alleged Foote succeeded in securing an appointment as referee in one of the suits growing out of the settlement of the Blythe estate. Foote attempted to beat Culbreth with a cane. The men grappled and Foote was hit with Culbreth's walking-stick, but parties then interfered and the men were separated before Foote received much punishment at the hands of the slender but active journalist. —S.
