The hot spell just passed has caused the grapes to ripen very quickly and several varieties are Weather Meter The thermometer during the week has done its level best to carry off all "the honors," and we must acknowledge that it has attracted more attention and been the subject of more remark from people in all stages and conditions of life than any two other things during the period mentioned. On Tuesday it reached 103° in the shade, and probably about 975° in the sun. Oh, suffering fellow-countrymen, what shall we do to be saved! It is all very well to say "keep cool; don't get excited," but where, oh, where is that happy land whither we can go to seek that coolness and comfort for which we have been longing for a couple of weeks past. We do not remember of ever experiencing such a long-continued spell of hot weather in the past twelve years, and those thin-blooded people who do not like the "cold weather" must feel perfectly satisfied. In other localities the heat has been still more intense. At Los Angeles the thermometer has reached 106° and in San Bernardino it has gone still higher. It has been impossible to keep butter hard and fresh during the week, except on ios. In most houses it melted into oil before 11 o'clock. We know of one instance where a package of cocoa standing in the pantry melted and ran all over the shelf. The water in some of the pipes in town was so warm that one could scarcely bear the hand in it. The heat was not so unbearable for our business men, who sat along on the well-sprinkled sidewalks in their shirt-sleeves and without collar or cuffs on, lazily fanning themselves with their big palm-leaf fans; but think of the poor housewife, gentlemen, who had to stoop over a hot stove three times a day preparing the meals for your lordships. And, besides, this unfortunately happens to be the height of the canning and preserving season, too, and we all know that to can and preserve fruit one has to have a very hot fire, and to be over it stirring and stirring about half of the time, too. How would you enjoy that kind of work; gentlemen? Another instance of the great degree of heat on Tuesday: We were sitting in our office about 11 o'clock writing. Glancing at the thermometer which hung against a pillar we noticed it registered 98° and was rapidly rising. About fifteen minutes later we Ed. Gazette:—Longer become the Monterey oak.

Two or three of our vineyardists commenced this week crushing grapes. The hot spell just passed has caused the grapes to ripen very quickly and several varieties are now ready for the crusher. The banner of "The Revolution" was thrown to the breeze on Wednesday last. Mr. Deethman, the proprietor, opens with a choice and well selected stock of dry goods from the Chicago markets. The Decoration Committee of Barrett's New United Monster Railroad Shows missed some of the fences and dead-walls in their rounds last week, so they returned on Monday with another display of chromos. Deputy Sheriff Smytha has served sub-penas on about twenty-five of our citizens in the trial of R. M. Mackey, which is to come off in Judge Cheney's Court on Thursday next. Daniel T. Mooney of Santa Monica was killed yesterday while driving to Los Angeles in company with his wife. He was in the act of passing a pistol to Mrs. Mooney, when a jolt of the wagon threw the weapon from his hand which, falling to the seat, exploded, sending the bullet through his heart. C. J. Hawley, senior partner of the wholesale grocery firm of C. J. Hawley & Co., Sutter street, San Francisco, (who some time ago spent some months with us for his health) has sold his interest in the firm to one of his former partners, Mr. Liebenbaum, and retires from the firm. The denizens of our town were awakened the other day to the fact that the game law prohibiting the killing of deer was closed, by the appearance of a fine large buck at Mr. Eichler's. It was brought in by John Bush of Upper Santa Ana, who still keeps up his reputation as the foremost deer-slayer of our section. A Spainard who lives in Upper Santa Ana reports his section as suffering from a plague of rats. The animals have destroyed the greater portion of his crop of green peppers, notwithstanding the fact that he has used poison very diligently. Rats and mice are also reported as doing great damage in the corn fields of Gospel Swamp. A telegram from San Francisco on Tuesday stating that the price of limes had suddenly advanced to fifty dollars a box caused quite a stir among our citrus-fruit growers. The advance was due to a "combination" of Another instance of the great degree of heat on Tuesday: We were sitting in our office about 11 o'clock writing. Glancing at the thermometer which hung against a pillar we noticed it registered 98° and was rapidly rising. About fifteen minutes later we looked towards the instrument again and were astonished to see it hanging half-way up to the ceiling; the mercury had risen to the top of the tube and, being unable to go up higher, had pulled the case off the nail and dragged it up about four feet. In our anxiety for further developments we made no effort to rescue the thermometer, but sat there staring at it. In ten minutes more it had disappeared through the ceiling, and we procured a ladder to get up onto the building and catch it as it came up through the roof. Unfortunately, however, we arrived too late; the heat of the tin roof had been too much for the poor thing—it was twenty-five feet in the air and traveling rapidly upward and in the direction of Stockton. A rather stiff ocean breeze which started up suddenly on Wednesday afternoon, although it made things very dusty and unpleasant for an hour or so, has occurred the temperature very materially, and we can once more breathe easier. The Water Muddle. The scarcity of water has again resulted in a muddle between the Yorbas and the Anaheim Union Water Company. About two weeks ago during the absence of F. C. Hazen, who is Superintendent of the company's main canals, and while the duties of said Superintendent were being performed by a substitute, the Yorbas had increased the flow of water in their ditch to 340 inches, thereby reducing the amount of water in the upper ditch almost to nothing. This having been reported to the Directors of the A. U. W. Co., they, at their regular meeting on Saturday last, instructed the Superintendent to turn into their ditch all the water except 125 inches, to which the Yorbas are only legally entitled. This resulted in the Yorbas cutting the dam and diverting from the river into their ditch a volume of 300 inches of water. The break in the dam was repaired by the Superintendent and again broken by the Yorbas on the 17th inst. A committee appointed by the A. U. W. Co., proceeded on Tuesday last to Los Angeles to get legal advice and take necessary steps to establish indisputably their rights in the premises. It is hoped, however, that a satisfactory settlement may be arrived at without resorting to a long litigation to establish the respective rights of the contestants. The Santiago Canyon.

It is presumable will soon run out under many of the number will matter to meet the demas will relinquish the titles citizens. We have had tax on incomes, and why tax on its privileged monarchical Government follow the example of Italy would grow greatly in favor. Now, why not adopt home, too? Suppose for gross should adopt an Constitution imposing a way from "Captain" to "tain" might be taxed, sayant $250, a "Colonel" $3eral (with a big G) $1000 be looked upon with favour to that effect, our Nation soon overflow with coin, personal property taxes and our citizens (that is what few there would be "Colonels," "Generals," py.

A Spainard who lives in Upper Santa Ana reports his section as suffering from a plague of rats. The animals have destroyed the greater portion of his crop of green peppers, notwithstanding the fact that he has used poison very diligently. Rats and mice are also reported as doing great damage in the corn fields of Gospel Swamp. A telegram from San Francisco on Tuesday stating that the price of limes had suddenly advanced to fifty dollars a box caused quite a stir among our citrus-fruit growers. The advance was due to a "combination" of commission merchants, and will only last for eight or ten days, when it is expected a steamer will arrive from Mexico with a cargo of the fruit. The attention of the grape and fruit-growers of this section has been repeatedly called to the damage done by bees, by those having suffered from their depredations. The question of how to successfully cope with the little intruders met with a speedy solution the other day. Mr. Gooch, living near the depot, was called to Long Beach on a business and pleasure trip, and during his absence some person or persons went to his place, piled up and burned his bee-hives and even smoked some bees that had made their head-quarters in a corner of his house. S. B. Smith finished the erection of one of the celebrated "California" wind-mills on the premises of T. J. House, three miles west of town. The completion of this mill will be the beginning of an era of prosperity for Mr. House, as he devotes his time principally to the culture of small fruits. Water from the ditches could not be had on his place, he being outside the limits of the irrigation district. Mr. Smith has also contracted with Mrs. Wrobling for the erection of a mill on her premises known as the Hammes vineyard. A committee appointed by the A. U. W. Co. proceeded on Tuesday last to Los Angeles to get legal advice and take the necessary steps to establish indisputably their rights in the premises. It is hoped, however, that a satisfactory settlement may be arrived at without resorting to a long litigation to establish the respective rights of the contestants. The Santiago Canyon There are at present quite a number of campers at this resort. There is plenty of dry feed for horses, and it is said the water in the creek is higher at the head than it has been for years. As for game, there is an abundance of quail, rabbits, wildcats, rattlesnakes, tarantulas and such things. The heat is not so oppressive there as it is in the valley. Mr. H. S. Knapp and party returned from the canyon on Saturday, having spent two weeks there very enjoyably. There is an old couple (groom 70, bride 60) who are spending their honeymoon at this popular resort. Indeed, the lovely Santiago bids fair to become as popular for bridal trips as Yosemite or Niagara. The one disagreeable feature of a trip to the canyon is the bad condition of the roads; the coal and wood teams have cut them up fearfully in places, and the dust is something almost unbearable. If the State or county would purchase that portion of the canyon known as the picnic grounds and spend a little money beautifying them and improving the road, the canyon would become one of the most popular summer resorts, not only for picnickers but for campers also. Notice is given elsewhere of a strayed mare, the finder of which, by leaving her at Lewis' stable, Anahaim, will be suitably rewarded. New Triple Circum Ngwe From Long Beach. Ed. Gazette:—Long Beach is destined to become the Monterey of Southern California. It has all the natural advantages of that famous watering place, and those interested in the community are sparing no time or expense to make it attractive to those who come here for rest and recreation during the warm summer months. Everything that is needed to minister to the wants of a town is to be had here. Stores, churches and a skating rink shows that Long Beach is not far behind towns of a much larger population. The drive on the beach is one of the unique features of the place, and a very attractive one, and not to be found at any of the numerous resorts on the coast. The Long Beach Hotel contains nearly one hundred sleeping rooms, all elegantly furnished with all the latest improvements. The table cannot be equalled by any hotel in the State outside of San Francisco. A new dining room with seating capacity for two hundred persons has just been finished. It faces the ocean and the refreshing salt air stimulates the appetite and the view delights the eye at the same time. The corporation are doing all in their power to make the hotel all that could be wished. The large veranda facing the ocean, and from which the motions of the bathers are watched by hundreds of people every day, is in itself enough to satisfy an ordinary mortal in search of a cool place in these baking-hot days. Besides this, a pavilion has been added for the benefit of those who are camping, and picnickers can lunch there without having the usual allowance of sand in their food. The company have contracted for a wharf to be built as soon as the lumber arrives. It is on the way, and the work will commence the latter part of this month. The wharf is to be at the west of the hotel, opposite Chestnut street, and will extend 751 feet from high water mark. Small vessels and yachts will be able to stop here, and excursions to Catalina will be the order of the day. A railroad connection with Wilmington will be established this fall. The only complaint that can be made against Long Beach is that it is a temperance colony. I am sure to a thoughtful observer this will not be considered a drawback to the place; on the contrary, the rough element that makes such a place undesirable, Murglery in Los Angeles. (Los Angeles Herald, Aug. 20th.) The burglar, who seems to be working this city without let or hindrance, are very successful in eluding the officers of the police force, private detectives and officers of the law. For a week or more there have been from one to three burglaries, house breakings or street robberies daily in our city, and not a single capture so far, and what is more, there has been no action of the city authorities taken adequate to put a stop to this lawless state of things that would be a disgrace to a one-hour border town on the Mexican line. No man's life or property is safe after might unless he bickles on a self-cocking Smith & Wesson, 44-caliber, and holds the fort, taking the chances of getting the first call on a burglar or street robber. Fortunately for the town, several prominent citizens are preparing to entertain some of these professional burglaria and house breakers, and if we don't hear of a burglar funeral before another week it will be because they have skipped the city. The burglaries entered Hanly & Co.'s Spice Mills, on the corner of San Fernando and Railroad streets, yesterday morning about three o'clock and drilled a three-eighth inch hole in the front door of the safe, loaded it with powder and blew off the front door facing, drawing the bolts as easily as they would open a dinner basket which had been securely fastened with a gaiter lacing. The explosion aroused a photographer living across the street, who came out and saw the burglaries come out with a light to wait for the smoke to escape so they could go in and finish their job. Either because he had lost no coffee and spice mills or because he was afraid he gave no alarm until the burglaries went in and put out the burning papers and satisfied themselves it was not worth while to waste time in crushing inside burglar proof chest of the safe. Fully half an hour after the explosion Mr. Hanly, who lives near by, was notified by an attache of the mills that there was probably some one in his store for the purpose of robbery or in search of a copy of the Los Angeles Star (a paper advertising Hanly & Co.'s goods). To sum the thing up the burglaries got nothing for their trouble, but, although they put H. & Co., to considerable trouble they placed the firm under lasting obligations by preventing a fire, by putting out the fire caused by the explosion. Mr. Hanly says he will hang the combination on the outside door to prevent tearing his safe door to pieces hereafter. This would be a good plan, and for fear the burglar could not work the combination the proprietor would do well to leave his address so he can be found in a hurry. Wild Cherry and Tar. Everybody knows the virtues of Wild Cherry and Tar as a relief and cure for any affections of the throat and lungs, combined with these two ingredients are a few simple healing remedies in the composition of Dr. Bosanko's Cough and Lung Syrup making it just the article you should always have in the house for coughs, colds, croup and bronchitis.

A valuable horse fell dead at Chico last Tuesday from some unknown cause and an examination revealed a fifty-cent piece in the animal's heart, directly over the entrance to one of the large arteries. How it came there is of course a mystery. A Hotel Man's Discovery. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—Mr. George H. Arnold, proprietor of the Occidental Hotel, says that as the air is purer as we ascend, a man should not object to being assigned to a room on the uppermost floor; that he The only complaint that can be made against Long Beach is that it is a temperance colony. I am sure to a thoughtful observer this will not be considered a drawback to the place; on the contrary, the rough element that make such a place undesirable, who shake off all restraint and go in for a spree when on a visit to the seashore, is kept away, the liquor, which furnishes them with a noisy courage, is not to be had here. Instead, we have the best society; and a game of whist and a social dance, with amateur concerts thrown in, makes the time pass pleasantly. Stingrays which are the bug-bear of most bathers on this coast seem to have departed for more conglonial shores or have been caught by the fishermen who draw the seine daily by order of the company. We have had no instance of persons being stung by there so far, though between 300 to 500 persons have been bathing during the last three months. Taxing Titles. We find in a paper published in 1830 the following paragraph, which it is not too late to make use of: Italy has hit upon a clever plan to raise money. She has imposed a tax on titles of nobility, and a pretty heavy tax, at that. A Prince is required to pay annually 40,000 francs, a Marquis 33,000 francs, and so on down the scale till the lowest degree is reached. It is presumed that the nobles will soon run out under the levy. A good many of the number will find it a difficult matter to meet the demand, and to avoid it, will relinquish the titles to become private citizens. We have had in this country a tax on incomes, and why not Italy impose a tax on its privileged classes? If all the monarchical Governments of Europe would follow the example of Italy, Republicanism would grow greatly in favor. Now, why not adopt this plan right at home, too? Suppose, for instance, our Congress should adopt an amendment to the Constitution imposing a tax on titles all the way from "Captain" to "General." A "Captain" might be taxed, say $100, a "Lieutenant" $250, a "Colonel" $500 and a "General" (with a big G) $1000. If this plan should be looked upon with favor and a law passed to that effect, our National treasury would soon overflow with coin, real estate and personal property taxes would become light and our citizens (that is the private citizens, what few there would be left, not the "Colonels," "Generals," etc.) would be happy. Oh, my fellow-countrymen, what a glorious land (for private citizens, still) this would be to live and die in it this great reform were carried into effect. But "it may not be," it may not be." The Courts. Our local Justices have been kept quite busy during the past week, notwithstanding the fact that all other "business" has been at a standstill. Something About Salicides. Are those persons who deliberately take their own lives cowards or are they simply idiots! This is a question which is hard to answer. Some commit suicide from a fear of expected punishment for wrong-doing; others take their lives when laboring under despair caused by some great misfortune fallen upon them; while disappointment in love, losses in gambling, unhappiness in home affairs, each causes its proportion of victims. In a great many cases the determination to commit suicide has been made in a moment of deep dejection, and when the time came for carrying the determination into effect the would-be victim has "weakened." Some have gone so far as to feel the pangs of the poison, and then suddenly conceive a desire for continued life; others who sought death by drowning have experienced a sudden change of mind upon coming in contact with the cold water, and afterwards felt very thankful to have been saved from a watery grave. We remember reading, though, of one man who was determined to die, and in a manner that precluded the possibility of rescue. He leaped overboard from a Havana steamer, and choosing a moment when his movements were unobserved, dropped directly into the open jaws of a shark. The Times reports the birth Wednesday, in Los Angeles, to Mrs. Jenny Musy, of a boy baby weighing twenty pounds. This promising young citizen also measures twenty-four and a quarter inches in length; the circumference of his head is over fifteen inches, and his right hand measures over four and a half inches. 'Tis the glorious climate once more. The following sale was made by the Anaheim Immigration Association: Wm. M. and M. C. Bailey to J.

How it came there is of course a mystery. A Hotel Man's Discovery. San Francisco, Cal.-Mr. George H. Arnold, proprietor of the Occidental Hotel, says that as the air is purer as we ascend, a man should not object to being assigned to a room on the uppermost floor; that he shouldn't mind taking a room-attic, as it were, in view of the fact St. Jacobs Oil so promptly cures the rheumatic. He states that throughout California it is regarded as the great pain cure of the age. The Solano Republican tells of a blacksmith recently appointed to a situation at Mare Island who does not know how to weld two pieces of iron together. Cure for Piles. Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, joins and lower part of the dolphin, causing the patient to suppose he has some affection of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At times, symptoms of indigestion are present, flatulence, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture like periparation, producing a very disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is a common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once to the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts affected, absorbing the Tumors, allevying the intense itching, and effecting a permanent cure.

"But not until you are hard pushed," said the idle boy to the needle. Supremely Delightful To the amazement and debilitated invalid is the sense of returning health and strength produced by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. When that promoter of vigor is tested by persons in feeble health, its restorative and vitalizing potency soon evinces itself in improved appetite, digestion and nightly repose, the sole conditions under which strength and nerve quietude is vouchsafed to the human system. A gain in flesh of course causes upon the restoration of digestion and assimilation. As surely as winter follows the fall of the leaf, does disease shadow the footsteps of declining strength, when the premature decadence of vitality is not arrested. Marsamus consumption and other wasting maladies are prompt to fasten upon the enfeebled. Avert disease, therefore, with its grand enabling tone, which not only renews falling strength but mitigates and counteracts the infirmities of age and those of the centler sex. Rheumatism, malaria, liver and kidney troubles yield to it. PURITY! YOUTH! TENDERNESS! WHERE OH! WHERE Can these requirements be? THERE, ONLY THERE, In RARE EOLA TEA! HOW SO?

Oh, my fellow-countrymen, what a glorious land (for private citizens, still) this would be to live and die in it this great reform were carried into effect. But "it may not be, it may not be." The Courts Our local Justices have been kept quite busy during the past week, notwithstanding the fact that all other "business" has been at a standstill. On Monday Justice Fox's attention was occupied by a battery case, the parties concerned being Spanish residents of Upper Santa Ana. The evidence produced showing conclusively that the defendant was the aggrieved party, having been battered and shot in the leg by the plaintiff, the case was dismissed. Immediately after the defendant had the plaintiff arrested on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, and the Justice, on preliminary examination, held him over to appear before the Grand Jury. On Tuesday a tramp was brought before Justice Pierce on a charge of vagrancy. The fellow insisted upon his rights and claimed a jury trial and summoned a lot of witnesses. He was convicted and sentenced to twenty days in the county jail. A local battery and libel case, which had been set for Wednesday in Fox's court, was amicably settled by the defendant pleading guilty and paying a fine of ten dollars. The assessment roll of the county for 1885 foots up $32,736,112 against a footing of $28,274,030 in 1884, showing a net increase of $4,462,082. This is exclusive of the railroad assessment apportionment and the probable 20 per cent raise by the State Board of Equalization, which items would increase the assessment roll to $41,783,334 or a net increase over the roll of 1884 of $323,558. Don't forget the ladies' ice-cream and cake festival in Conrad's brick building on Monday. Better spend 15 cents for a good plate of ice-cream and cake than 10 cents for a glass of thin lemonade or a bag of six peanuts. Died suddenly on Thursday evening of inflammation of the stomach and bowels, G. M. Kafler. He had been sick for some days but had recovered sufficiently to enable him to come to town on Thursday afternoon. He died the same evening at 8:30 o'clock at his home. John Martin was assaulted by highwaymen at Los Angeles Monday night, and on refusing to hold up his hands they beat him over the head with a revolver, wounding him seriously. They then fled without robbing their victim. There will be no preaching service in the Presbyterian church until the first Sunday in September. Sunday school will be held as usual at quarter before ten o'clock. Brush fires have been raging in the mountains back of Santa Monica for some days. The hot spell just passed was caused to some extent probably by these fires. F. C. Hazen offers three cows for sale. See advertisement. Hay for Sale: Mr. J.
