WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...AUGUST 21, 1886 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. The people of Georgia in the October election will be called upon to vote on a constitutional amendment authorizing the Legislature to pension Confederate soldiers. There have been big rains throughout Arizona, and the railroad has suffered numerous washouts. But compensation is found in the growing grass and in the replenished water sources. The Southern Pacific and Atlantic & Pacific have issued a new tariff schedule for Arizona and New Mexico. There is a general reduction on previous local rates, both in the above localities and to Los Angeles and points in that vicinity. Miss R. S. Milla, living in Dakota, has during the last six months edited a readable weekly paper, proved up on a pre-emption claim, planted five acres of trees on a tree claim, built a sawmill, and raised the largest turnips and the roundest aquash in the country. An Eastern paper recently received contains a flaring advertisement of "Mountain Oranges from California." Whereabouts among the pine and redwood forests of our mountains this fruit came from is not stated, and information on this point is anxiously awaited. In most places the steam laundries started during the stress of the anti-Chinese excitement have failed, though that in Chico is said to be doing a good business. These things succeed where managed on a business basis, and fail where run on sentiment. There is no sentiment about a badly starch-ed shirt. The Universal Peace Union, in session at London, has condemned Tilden's proposition to make liberal appropriations for coast defenses, and urge that smaller sums be appropriated to obtain permanent friendly relations with other nations. It will be observed that the U. P. U. waited until Sam'l The Universal Peace Union, in session at London, has condemned Tilden's proposition to make liberal appropriations for coast defenses, and urge that smaller sums be appropriated to obtain permanent friendly relations with other nations. It will be observed that the U. P. U. waited until Sam'l was dead before they jumped onto him. The State Board of Equalization has assessed the railroads of the State as follows: California Southern, $1,264,800; Pajaro and Santa Cruz road, $150,000; San Joaquin and Sierra Nevada, $160,800; South Pacific Coast, $500,000; Stockton and Copperopolis, $2,350,000; Southern Pacific, $17,000,000; Central Pacific, $20,000,000. The regular army of Mexico numbers about 24,000 men, and this force can be increased in a rapid way, under the present laws, to 250,000. In case of war between the United States and that country, the former would of course come off conquerer, but it would be no child's play, and would result in considerable fighting and loss of life. A blank crop report was sent out by a Cleveland paper for the farmers to fill out, and the other day one of them came back with the following written on the blank aid in pencil: "All we've got in this neighborhood is three widders, two school ma'am's, a patch of wheat, the hog cholera, too much rain, about fifty acres 'taters and a durn fool who married a cross-eyed gal because she owns eighty sheep and a mule, which the same is me, and no more at present." The Assembly rejected the constitutional amendment re-organizing the Supreme Court by a vote of 42 to 12. That is good. If the Court is to be re-organized it ought to be done at another time, in another way, and for another cause. It is a revolutionary and barbarous proceeding to surreptitiously bounce a Court because its decision don't please us. The same crude views of justice are entertained by certain tribes of Indians who kill the medicine man when, according to their notion, too many of his patients die. The "pioneer day" in Salt Lake, which celebrates the entrance of the Mormons into the valley, was rather gloomy this year. A correspondent says: "Not less than ten thousand Saints and Gentiles came together on this particular occasion, of whom at least half were children. But not at all to smile, to be gay and glad. No; rather to lament and to dilate upon the sorrows and persecutions of the truly righteous in these last days. The music consisted largely of dirges." Mr. Munday offered a substitute that the House adjourn till Tuesday, September 7th, at 2 P.M. Munday's substitute was carried by 37 ayes to 29 noes. Henry's resolution, as amended, was put and carried—ayes, 37; noes, 28. Recess. After recess Morris introduced a resolution to request President Cleveland to demand from the Mexican Government the immediate release of Editor Cutting. Lost. Munday introduced the concurrent resolution to adjourn until September 7th. Carried. Recess until 5 P.M. The Assembly reconvened at 5 P.M. and a call of the house being taken sixty-five members were mustered. The Senate concurrent resolution relative to adjournment sine die was read and rejected by the following vote: Ayes—Almy, Banbury, Carter of Contra Costa, Carter of Solano, Firebaugh, Henry, Hollister, Jones, Laughlin, Loud, Heath, McLean, Pelletter, Reeves, Roseberry, Walrath, Ward of Butte, Woodward, Yule, 20.

McJunkin gave notice of reconsideration. Atmospheric Irrigation The following letter which has been received by the Governor is self-explanatory,and it is to be earnestly hoped that some public-spirited citizen will send the doctor the necessary "wherewith," so that he may come immediately to California and put his "art" into effect,and thus solve the vexations and much-muddled irrigation question: 239 East Twenty-second Street. NEW YORK CITYJuly 31，1886. His Excellency,the Governor of California—SIR: Seeing in yesterday's New York World that an extra session to consider the water question had assembled,我 have the honor to inform you that I am convinced an unfairly abundant supply of water may be bad by art from the atmosphere.I commenced studying this subject in Arizona in 18789.Coming to California in 1879I pursued the study of it there,and about three years agoI came East on this same business.Tapped for a patent,但I desire to have the methods operated at once,它 being a matter of life or death to all organized beings on the earth，as the ice accumulating around the poles is crushing in the earth's crust to explode and confugrate her.All the self-lumineous planets and suns are in conflagration. The withdrawal of water from the atmosphere by art means the removal of ice from the poles,the opening of the deserts,and in time the polar regions for settlement,the restoration of the year to its normal length 360 days;the wiping out of epidemics,and the conservation of the planet.with the lives of all its inhabitants now endangered. My means are very limited.as the study，etc.,of it has knocked me about，但if you send me transportation I will come to California—D.V.-and explain，so that it may be operated at once.Very respectfully,your obedient servant. MICHAEL CAHILL,M.D. University of Louisville，Ky. A Strange Story. The "pioneer day" in Salt Lake, which celebrates the entrance of the Mormons into the valley, was rather gloomy this year. A correspondent says: "Not less than ten thousand Saints and Gentiles came together on this particular occasion, of whom at least half were children. But not at all to smile, to be gay and glad. No; rather to lament and to dilate upon the sorrows and persecutions of the truly righteous in these last days. The music consisted largely of dirges, such as 'Rest in Peace,' 'Pass Under the Rod,' and the Dead March in Saul. Likewise the addresses were exceedingly funereal and sepulchral in tone." They Signed the Call. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.—The following is published as the correct list of the signers of the memorial that induced Governor Stoneman to call the extra session of the Legislature: Senators—Boone, Creighton, Days, De Long, Dougherty, Drum, Fischer, Harburt, Johnson of San Bernardino, Kelly, Kellogg, Knight, Low, Palmieri, Parker, Parkinson, Perry, Roddy, Routiea, Wallis, Wright; total 21.

There are now nearly 100 persons busily engaged in putting up fruit at the cannery in East Napa. The fruits they are now engaged in working on are peaches, plums and pears; there is enough of this fruit now on hand to keep canners busy for some time to come. It is all from Napa Valley, and is of first-class quality. A Strange Story. WASHINGTON, August 17.—Secretary Bayard received a dispatch from the United States Consul at Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, giving an account of a slip of peat which occurred on the night of June 2nd, causing loss of life and great destruction of property. Extending the entire length of the south shore of the harbor and at a slight elevation is peat, from which the laboring public procure their fuel. There are no channels which drain the bog and large quantities of water collect there during long rains, which at certain seasons last for days at a time. For three days previous to the disaster a rain storm had prevailed. About 8 o'clock in the evening the bog began to quake and finally with a noise like thunder it broke loose, rushing down upon the town carrying away everything in its way blocking up the streets and piling up peat in some places to a height of six or eight feet. Solid stone walls were rent asunder,fences porches and iron lamp posts were torn away; boat houses were all swept away before its march. The bewildered and terrified population believed their town was being destroyed by an earthquake. The avalanche lasted only an hour but its path was one of great devastation. A mass of scattered peat amounting to no less than 50,000 tons lay over the town. A boy of seven and an old man named Patrick Keating were lost. James Mitchell, track-walker on the S. P. R. R., between Indio and Dry Camp on the Colorado desert was found dead Wednesday nights on his account. He had left in the morning on the train from Indio to Dry Camp,and started to walk back on his tour of inspection. A train found his lifeless body on the desert where he had succumbcd from the effects of heat. The body was taken to Indio and buried. The Senate bill appropriated the extra session and read a postponed bill passed—Bryce's amendment making the common laws as the rule of law, who was in journment last week. Pending recess, and covered speeches, they taken on the amendment to consideration was to 15. Spencer enacting clause of 19 to 15.

Democrat published very earnest petition that has been forwarded to the President by Governor Ross, ed by all federal officers at Sartope, united adoption of the plan of General Mills the removal of the Apache and W Springs band of Chirachua Indians Arizona. This letter urges that no peace possible between these bands and whites so long as they are permitted to reside on their present reservation or in Arizona and that permanent peace is possible until they are removed to some devoid of mountain fastnesses, which they can be held in subjection. It is understood that some action will be taken by officials of Arizona, and hoped that the bined action thus taken will have weight with the President, and the permanent security against further depredation. The Rarest Plant in Mexico In the botanical garden at the parish they have the celebrated flower, Tzapahil, of the Aztecs. The story runs here only three of the kind in the world; one at the palace, another at a different point in Mexico, and the mother plant in mountain. At one time two tribes had long and bloody war for the possession of so the story goes, but with a good more exaggeration. The plant is commonly called the "flower hand," as they claim inside is a perfect hand. went to see and was much disappointed. The grows to a good height. The leaves have shape, are thick and about the color of under part of a silver maple leaf, except that they are very rough, which prevailed them from glistening like the maple, thick, wax-like, bell shaped red blooms mouth upward, and inside is the called hand. It has five fingers and thumb, but looks exactly like a bird's creech not like a hand. The story ran there are but three in existence. With doubt the plant is rare, and there may be more than a dozen, if that many, in the world, but I have seen in the gardens of different gentlemen the very same tree, of these gentlemen is in Europe, and other bought his plant from him, and this is no way of learning where the tree comes from. BUSINESS AND PLEASURE. You can insure against death or accident by the payment of a small premium in Travelers' Life & Accident Association, Hartford, Pellgrin Bros., agents. Law'n Order—"Keep off the grass." When you go to store your grain remainer that Kellogg Bros. have a large, commodious warehouse. Lies about Labrador—Ice. If you have anything you want to get out of leave it at Kellogg Bros. on commission. A millionaire is miserably poor in presence of an Assessor. Kellogg Bros. took advantage of the cheap freights and laid in their stock of Light and Mason Fruit Jars and Crockery direct from the factories East. One of the most serious Cutting scrapes the year is that at El Paso. New carriages, good horses, nobly rigged feet long. News has been received at Nogales, A.T., that the town of Saric was entirely swept away by floods on Saturday and Sunday. The place has a population of 700. Not a house is left standing. Grain fields were flattened to the ground. No estimate of the damage or loss of life is given. After two weeks' examination of the records of the United States Land Office at Los Angeles it has been discovered that land valued at $300,000 patented by the United States in San Bernardino county has never been placed on record, thereby escaping taxation. Similar frauds are feared elsewhere. Hank Redfield, a well-known citizen of Arizona, committed suicide by taking poison at Benson on Friday night. He had a brother Lynched about four years ago for supposed connection with a band of stage robbers, and was a cousin of Charles J. Guiteau, the assassin of Garfield. The old transcontinental rates on East-bound goods went into effect Tuesday, with the exception of the following in carloads to Chicago and Missouri River points: Beans and barley, 60 cents per 100 pounds; borax, 50 cts; canned goods and honey (strained) 90 cts; mustard seed, 70 cts; brandy and wine, 50 per cent of standard; wool in gresse and scarred, 75 cents and $1.50. The first unpleasant news from Kings City, the new town twenty miles south of Soledad, is to the effect that Dan McKinstay, a farm laborer, who had been unloading lumber, was struck by a heavy piece of falling timber, but as he made no complaint his accident was not considered severe. People were horrified Sunday morning to find he had died during the night on the ground where he had gone to sleep. The sight presented by the body was revolting. A large number of logs were roaming loose around the place, and during the night they had eaten off the man's head, face and part of his fingers. Elward Donovan, who delivered himself up at Virginia City and made a false confession, last week, of having murdered Michael Hassett, in Cold Hill, several years ago, and also murdered the Pollock family, keepers of the tollhouse, in Six-Mile Canyon, and robbing the latter of $1,400 saying he could not rest until he made a confession after standing a preliminary examination, has been discharged. Donovan, who appears to be cranky in placing himself at the head of all these murders, thought it a fine joke. The judge, in dismissing Donovan, took occasion to severely rebuke him for making false confessions of a nature to startle the entire community, and regretted that there was no law to severely punish offenders for crimes of that nature. Prosperous Negroes Of the 150 negroes owned by L. & T. Turner in this vicinity there is not one now living who is not worth enough property to save him from the oppression to which the majority of his race are subject. One of them, known under the name of Scruggs, living in this county, has 500 or 600 acres of land, and drives about his plantation behind a team of four fat mules, overseeing his tenants and laborers with a much independence as any white man in this quarter of the State. Another illustration of the point is found in the ex-slaves who were owned by Anderson Locket. They have all been prosperous, and have done much to improve agriculture wherever they have gone. These Secretary Bay on the United States Treasury, in the early part of 1865. They consist of family plate, jewelry, etc., which had been deposited in the bank at Camden by Mr. McRea and other wealthy residents of that section. When the Union Army approached the town an effort was made to transfer the articles to a place of safety, but it did not succeed, as the troops came upon the scene while the transfer was being made. Many of the principal articles belonging to Mr. McRhea were restored to him by a special Act of Congress in 1883. An inventory has been made, and it is thought the articles can easily be identified by their owners. They will be restored upon application accompanied by satisfactory evidence of ownership. These two boxes are supposed to contain all the property of the character described now in the United States Treasury, except possibly, the presentation awards belonging to Gen. Twiggs and captured by Gen. Butler in New Orleans. It is an unsettled question as yet whether these swords can be restored under the provisions of the Act referred to above. All the articles mentioned, which have not been restored by application, will be advertised and one year from the time will be sold at public auction. A Railway Project There is a gang of railroad engineers now at work, and have been for several days past around La Ballonia along. They are running lines, making levels and doing a good deal of preliminary work. It is rumored about that the project in contemplation is to make canal from the ocean to the little lakes, and there hollow out a basin to serve as a dock for ships. If this should prove feasible, and there are many who regard it as being, the putting of it into practical operation will revolutionize the business of Southern California. Time will tell what the engineers are up to—Herald. A Mystery. How the human system ever recovers from the bad effects of the nauseous medicines often literally poured into it for the suppositive relief of dymyopsia, liver complaint, constipation, rheumatism and other ailments, is a mystery. The mischief done by bad medicines is scarcely less than that caused by disease if they who are weak billion, dyspeptic, constipated or rheumatic, would oftener be guided by the experience of invalidids who have thoroughly tested Hostetter's Stearnach Bitters, they would in every instance obtain the speediest aid derivable from rational medication. This medicine is a searching and as the same time a thoroughly safe remedy, derived from vegetable sources, and possessing, in consequence of its basis of pure spirits, properties as a medicinal stimulant not to be found in the fiery local bitters and stimulants often resorted to by the debilitated, dyspeptic and languid. A FARMER. Before rain. After rain. When you go to store your grain remember that Kellogg Bros. have a large modular warehouse. Lies about Labrador—Ice. If you have anything you want to get off leave it at Kellogg Bros. on commission. A millionaire is miserably poor in presence of an Assessor. Kellogg Bros. took advantage of the cheap freights and laid in their stock of Light and Mason Fruit Jars and Crockery during from the factories East. One of the most serious Cutting scrapes the year is that at El Paso. New carriages, good horses, nobly rigs, Lewis's.

Age before beauty—a piece of spright chicken on a pretty girl's plate. Ladies, Try Madam Dean's Spinal Support Corset. H. Cahen, Agent. In view of the fact that Martin Irons was entirely too precipitate, it may be signcaut that his successor is named Delay. Go to Lawrence & Son; in Downey Block and get the finest photographs you ever bought for only $3.50 per dozen.
