A ZOOLOGICAL GARDEN. About seven miles from the city of the angels on the banks of the Los Angeles river, notled under the rugged foothill spurs of the Sierra Madre, lies the old San Feli ranch; a large stretch of level land, reaching from the mountains to the river. In years gone by it has been devoted to simple agricultural purposes, and its existence only a reality to its immediate owners and the occasional stroller from the city in search of the picturesque. The old ranch, however, is destined to attain a considerable notoriety, as it has been purchased by a company, of which Dr. Sketchley, so well known in connection with the ostrich industry, is the head, and it is proposed to convert the old place into a pleasure resort for the Southern Californians. In short, it is to be an aesthetic zoological garden—though ostensibly an ostrich farm—and laid out as a park and pleasure resort, with restaurant, etc. The exhibition is to be confined strictly to birds and monkeys, and it is the intention of the promoters to collect here the finest assortment of living birds ever seen in any country. The ostriches thrive so well it is evident that the effort will meet with success, and that the tropical bird is difficult to keep in the North may be kept here out of doors with the greatest ease. When the ostrich farm was originally established at Anaheim, it was found that they would be difficulties in the way in this country; in short, the dealers in the Eastproposed to dictate to the producers as to price they should put on the feathers; but now that the ostrich industry is no longer an experiment, the tables are turned, and the California ostrich men bid fair to hold he reins in the future, and that they need not fear competition from Africa is shown by the remark of a dealer there to Dr. Sketchley, who said on seeing an American feather, "that if they could produce such plumes they had nothing to fear from Africa." So much trouble was experienced in their efforts to place the American feathers the market that the California men determined to prepare the feathers here, and Dr. Sketchley informed me that in a few swings over and breaks up, and the nimble animals are soon far away. The Southern California Zoological Garden promises to be a credit to the county; and all such enterprises that instruct and afford healthy amusement deserve the strongest encouragement.—Correspondence S. P. Morning Call. Senator Stanford's Sense. UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHINGTON, D.C., May 15, 1886. E. F. Lemon, Corresponding Secretary of the Citizens' Anti-Coolie League—DEAR SIR: The resolution of your League of March 31 addressed to me, is received, and has had careful and respectful consideration. Independently of my position as a public man, a request of any considerable number of my fellow-citizens would have my best attention and, though your resolutions are directed more particularly to affairs persons to myself, yet I am aware that you reflect the sentiments of a very large portion of the people of our State in regard to the employment of Chinese. Under the treaties existing between our Government and that of China, the中国人 is entitled to the same just treatment while in our country, as any other foreigner or as any citizen. Whether white men shall be preferred him in employment is a question of humanitarianism and of private interest. Regarding that, I have the right to dispose of my own property and my own means as suits me best, so long as I obey the laws, if my humanitarianism impels me or my interests incline me to employ Chinese labor. I hold that I have a perfect political right to do so, it being a matter of my own conscience and its dictates. My race prejudice, however, inclines me to my own people, and I am desirous of giving them, on all suitable occasions, the preference. I have therefore, in harmony with my own inclinations, strengthened by your request, given instructions to my agent to direct that the preference for white labor be very carefully exerted. The employment of Chinese among the farmers has been, I think, fairly a necessity, and is likely to continue so, because good stomach is spurred holly stimulants by reaction that than before. "Costiveness," habits of life, became afforded me speedily has since kept me aloof. "I was induced remedy for Indigenous Headache," from fever. I found them prompt relief.

"A sufferer from their would be limitations in the way they come to this country; in short, the dealers in the East propose to dictate to the producers as to price they should but on the feathers; but now that the ostrich industry is no longer an experiment, the tables are turned, and the California ostrich men bid fair to hold the reins in the future, and that they need not fear competition from Africa is shown by the remark of a dealer there to Dr. Ketchley, who said, on seeing an American feather, "that if they could produce such plumes they had nothing to fear from Africa." So much trouble was experienced in their efforts to place the American feather in the market that the California men determined to prepare the feathers here, and Dr. Ketchley informed me that in a few weeks the entire operation of plucking feature and preparing them for the market must be seen at San Feliz ranch, and as the industry will grow it will afford employment to many in this section and open up a new industry and field for girls. This then will the original plan to prepare the feathers here for shipment East; but, curiously enough, the ostrich farm idea has proved so an attraction that people have flocked this, even in its present unfinished state. People a day on an average, driving out of the road. It is estimated that a certain percent of visitors would like to carry any as a memento a plume or an egg, and it is believed that at least for some time troussons the entire stock can be disposed of either grounds in this way, and when the urban is thoroughly equipped and beautified, as it soon will be, there is no doubt but that the lady visitors will take all the troussons the birds can grow. It is not every state where the ladies of fashion can go to ostrich farm, point out the particular leather they wish plucked and have it prepared and carved almost "while you wait," but it is evident that this is to be the privilege of the California ladies. Dr. Sketchley, the genius of this new phone, has recently returned from Africa, and brought with him the nucleus of the proposed collection. Heavy weather caused considerable loss, but thirty ostriches and white a collection of African and South American birds and monkeys reached the ranch on safety, not to speak of several picturesque hills, all bearing the name of Sammy—some are John Sammy, others Tom Sammy, while others again double up and answer to Sam Sammy. All with one exception, have renowned their allegiance to their native country, and propose in the future to become American citizens. The exception struck soon after landing, the prevailing strikes being evidently infections, and now is end man in a traveling Ethnological Congress, and hailing from the land of the white elephant. The Sammy in charge of the birds and animals is a man of considerable intelligence and no lack of courtesy, who puts the newcomers through their paces in a most satisfactory fashion. The birds are at present confined in a small building adjoining the entrance of the ranch, while on the piazza are a number of gorgeous parrots and macaws, all chained by one leg, and socially and agreeably disposed. "Bite" said the attendant Sammy, in answer to a question, "look at that!" and he held up a finger with a long scar on it: "bite right through, bone, everything." The most interesting animal in the collection at present is a fine spider monkey from South America, and the positions and attitudes this creature assumes will prove a lasting attraction, if it survives. In none of the tribe is the peculiar prehensible tail developed to such a remarkable extent; and here it is thoroughly a fifth hand, being used for a variety of purposes. The animal stands about two feet in height, its long, slender tail curling over its head, and when walking along upon its hind legs after the fashion of their own property and my own means as suits me best, so long as I obey the laws, it my humanitarianism impels me or my interests incline me to employ Chinese labor. I hold that I have a perfect political right to do so, it being a matter of my own conscience and its dictates. My race prejudice, however, inclines me to my own people, and I am desirious of giving them, on all suitable occasions, the preference. I have therefore, in harmony with my own inclinations, strengthened by your request, given instructions to my agent to direct that the preference for white labor be very carefully exerted. The employment of Chinese among the farmers has been, I think, fairly a necessity, and is likely to continue so, because good laborers can very soon, in the vast unoccupied resources of our State, find employment in something that offers a better reward than common farm labor; consequently, good white labor is difficult to be had. I believe the sentiment of the people of California is very largely hostile to more Chinese coming into our country; also that most of our people sincerely wish the Chinese now in the country were out of it; and in obedience to that will, and in harmony with my own judgment, I shall do here, in my public duty., whatever I can justly to restrict Chinese immigration. The unemployed in California are numerous, but I do not think they are unemployed because of the Chinese, or anything other than their own improvident nature. I have fed traps at a direct expense of over $200 a month during the past season on one farm, although there was never a day during that time that we were not short-handed of good men, and wanted them. There is room in California for fifteen millions of people, and it will then not be more densely populated than the New England and Middle States of the East. In conclusion, let me say to you in general terms that the theory of our Government is founded upon the inalienable rights of man, which the poor of all others are most interested in maintaining, and is in strong contrast to the paternal or monarchial theory of government. The Government founded upon the inalienable rights of man, and to secure him makes these great principles fundamental. Laws give and majorities administer. So no man can have a lien upon another, and therefore what he shall do with his life, liberty and rightful possessions. Whether the owner of property shall give to those in distress or not, is a question entirely for him to determine, settling with his own conscience and with his God to what extent the products of his labor, his care his thrift industry and economy shall be given to the unfortunate or to the idle, thriftless and improvident. Without the observance of the right of property of course all inducements for thrift frugality and industry would be wanting. The earth yields beautifully to labor for all the necessities of the human kind, and with the intelligent direction and application of labor will I believe secure—barring the accidents of life—comfort to all. My remedy for the evils which the poor suffer is temperance, industry and intelligence. I trust I am not unduly egotistical in believing that my sympathies in the welfare of my kind are as strong as those of most men, particularly for the poor, and I have strong faith that the time will come when the comforts of life, at least, will be the common belongings of the poorer people of our country. The wealth of individuals makes up the commonwealth. The most interesting question in regard to it is not who owns, but what use is made of it. Wealth actively and wisely in use gives employment and caws, all chained by one leg, and socially and agreeably disposed. "Bite?" said the attendant Sammy, in answer to a question, "look at that!" and he held up a finger with a long scar on it; "bite right through, bone, everything." The most interesting animal in the collection at present is a fine spider monkey from South America, and the positions and attitudes this creature assumes will prove a lasting attraction, if it survives. In none of the tribe is the peculiar prehensible tail developed to such a remarkable extent; and here it is thoroughly a fifth hand, being used for a variety of purposes. The animal stands about two feet in height, its long slender tail curling over its head, and when walking along upon its hard legs, after the fashion of its supposed human descendants (or is the monkey a degraded human?) it has an unpleasantly human appearance. Its face has a sad expression, and as it wound its tail about the neck of the faithful Sammy and looked imploringly into his dark face, as he annoyed it, there was a much less contrast than exists between a bloodied horse and some burros that I have seen, or narrow-gauge mules, as they call them over in Colorado. By this I do not mean to intimate that the Hindeo was unintelligent, as the reverse is the case, but in point of fact the physical differences between human beings and the highest apes and monkeys is much less than is generally supposed. The spider monkeys are the most active of their kind, and in the vast jungles of the South American continent are the "dwellers in the tree tops," and perform the most marvellous feats. In passing through a forest, their speed is astonishing. Generally the trees are connected by vines, but where an open place appears they swing themselves off, darting through the air fifty or sixty feet, curling their wonderful tails about the limb as they alight, and whirling off like the wind. In passing wide streams they adopt tactics worthy of an engineer, forming a living bridge in the following manner: The first monkey takes a firm hold of the end of a branch, the second grasping it about the waist, the third, fourth and others repeating this undeniently, until finally a rope of living spider monkeys is suspended from the branch fifty or sixty feet. Now, the lowest one who can reach the ground begins to push the tree with its hands, its feet being employed in clinging to the last monkey. By continual pashing the long line is set in motion, and like a pendulum soon goes swinging out over the stream. Harder and higher it goes, the troop behind in the tree tops chattering and uttering vociferous cries as if to urge the last monkey on to greater exertions, and finally it swings out so that the monkey reaches a limb on the opposite bank. This once accomplished the entire herd goes rushing over the living bridge, and as the last one leaps ashore the monkey that has held the strain lets go, and the living chain, My remedy for the evils which the poor suffer is temperance, industry and intelligence. I trust I am not unduly egotistical in believing that my sympathies in the welfare of my kind are as strong as those of most men, particularly for the poor, and I have strong faith that the time will come when the comforts of life, at least, will be the common belongings of the poorer people of our country. The wealth of individuals makes up the commonwealth. The most interesting question in regard to it is not who owns, but what use is made of it. Wealth actively and wisely in use gives employment and spreads prosperity. The individual prosperity is the prosperity of the whole, and the prosperity of the whole results in the prosperity of the individual. Respectfully, LELAND STANFORD. WINE LEGISLATION. WASHINGTON, May 27.—The Ways and Means Committee have adopted the bill as a substitute for the sweet wine bill referred to the committee early in the session, and supported by the California delegation. Mr. Wetmore who has been very active in matters pertaining to the interests of the viticulturists, says that the delegation will not oppose the bill when it is presented in the House, but reserve the right to amend it. It is so late in the session that they do not want to oppose it actively now. The bill, which was reported by Harris of Georgia, from the Ways and Means Committee, today, covers part of the demand of the vinegrowers to the extent of the fortification of wines, when intended for exportation, with grape brandy, free of tax. Mr. Wetmore states that the friends of the sweet wine bill in its entirety were requested to make no contest in committee over the report of the sub-committee, but to reserve the right of amendment on the floor, which was done by McKinley of Ohio. It is probable that no attempt to amend will be made in the House, but that this work will be left for action in the Senate. Meanwhile Senator Stanford will introduce wine bills for advance consideration in the Senate Committee on Finance. Backache, stitches in the side. inflation and soreness of the bowels, are symptoms of a disordered state of the digestive and assimilative organs, which can be promptly and thoroughly corrected by the use of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. As dinner pills, and as aids to digestion, they have no equal. They cure constipation. WEEKLY ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1886. DYSPEPSIA. Sedentary habits, mental worry, nervous excitement, excess or imprudence in eating or drinking, and various other causes induce Constipation followed by general derangement of the liver, kidneys, and stomach, in which the disorder of each organ increases the infirmity of the others. The immediate results are Loss of Appetite, Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flatulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure of physical and mental vigor, distressing sense of weight and fullness in the stomach, and increased Costiveness, all of which are known under one head as Dyspepsia. In every instance where this disease does not exist in the stomach is spurred by reaction that leaves the organ weaker than before. READY FOR BUSINESS AT THE GILDMACHER STAND SANTA ANA.
