WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...SEPTEMBER 18, 1886 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. CALIFORNIA PRUIT SHIPMENTS EAST. Correspondence San Francisco Bulletin. The California Fruit Union was formed by 687 owners of fruitland subscribing to 14,738 shares of stock, making A. L. Hatch of Suisun, President; W. L. Buck of Vacaville, Manager, and Porter Bros. of Chicago, Merchants. The object of this Union was to disseminate California fruit throughout the States and prevent an over-supply at any one point, thereby realizing fair prices and preparing the various markets for a future supply, as all realized the fact that by next year the growth would be sufficient for many large markets. The Manager and Sub-Manager, who were stationed at the various shipping points, were to be paid by shippers for their serving, as well as all expenses incurred. Porter Bros. were to be paid 10 per cent on all saler effected, and were to have assistants at all principal points to aid in disseminating the fruit. Let us see how far these good intentions were carried out by our employees. I purchased such crates and boxes as were recommended by Porter and Buck, and paid 16 cents for each; employed my neighbor ranchmen to assist me in gathering selecting and packing only the very best grapes, and paid them 12½ cents a box for doing so, and was offered by Mr. Lyon of Sacramento 50 cents a box in the field for the same, as he said they were just what he wanted. Fifty crates were shipped on the 12th of August; 129 crates on the 13th of August. By the annexed statement it would seem it took the first shipment six days by passenger train and the last shipment nine days by passenger train to arrive in Chicago. The freight charged is at the rate of $714 60 a car, if we place 900 crates in a car, which we do, for the first shipment. For the second shipment of 100 crates I am charged at the rate of $677 53 a car. Both of these cars went fully loaded from our depot. The weather during time of conveyance was not more extreme hot than it was in this valley, and some of these grapes are placed to one side for ten days and kept well. It is difficult The Stain of Blood. [Gentleman's Magazine.] The general opinion is, of course, that no soldier in his military capacity can be guilty of murder, but opinion has not always been so fixed, and it is worth noting that in the forms of civilization that preceded our own, and in some existing modern races of lower type than our own, traces clearly appear of a sense of wrong attaching to any form of bloodshed what ever, whether of fair battle or of base treachery, calling alike for the purifying influences of expiation and cleansing. In South Africa, for instance the Basuto returning from war proceeds with all his arms to the nearest stream, to purify not only his own person but his javelins and his battle axe. The Zulu, too, practices ablutions on the same occasion, and the Bechuana warrior wears a rude kind of necklace, to remind him of the expiation due from him to the slain and to disperse the dreams that might otherwise trouble him and perhaps even drive him to die of remorse. The same feelings may be detected in the Old World. The Macedonians had a peculiar form of sacrificial purification, which consisted in cutting a dog in half and leading the whole army, arrayed in full armor, between 'the two parts.' As the Boottians had the same custom, it was probably for the same reason. At Rome, for the same purpose, a sheep and a bull and a pig or boar were every year led three times round the army and then sacrificed to Mars. In Jewish history the prohibition to King David to build the temple was expressly connected with the blood he had shed in battle. In old Greek mythology Theseus held himself unfit without expiation, to be admitted to the mysteries of Ceres, though the blood that stained his hands was only that of thieves and robbers. And in the same spirit Hector refused to make a libation to the gods before he had purified his hands after battle. Killing Music-Teaching in New York. [Interview with a Music Teacher.] Two or three years ago some evil genius in New York found himself with a lot of empty studios on his hands. A wicked spirit prompted him to furnish those rooms magnificently. No expense was spared. Carpets, upholstery, hangings, and artistic decorations, all were of the grandest description. Then in a moment of inspiration he advertised for short time If one could have painted upon a bible such as the Tuesdays No shade encroach Of those two lips soft.

LETTER. VACAVILLE, Cal. Dear Sir—Inclosed we hand you account sales for 50 half-crates grapes received August 15th, and 100 half-crates received August 23rd; we debit your account with the loss on same. This fruit arrived in very poor condition on account of the extreme hot weather, and also struck a very poor market, as full crates of Muscats were being sold here by the Sacramento combination as low as 75 cents per full crate. Our market is now in good shape, and any shipments you may make us of good stock we have no doubt will bring good prices. The Sacramento combination seem to have let up a little, and as long as we are not troubled with them will have no trouble in getting good prices for all the good stock you can ship us. Carload of grapes in here from Southern California this morning; they are selling same at 40 cents per half crate. We think the shippers in Southern California will soon get tired of that kind of business and stop shipping to this market. There has been some very good fruit in here from Southern California, but it has been sold at very low prices. Plums are selling slowly at 85 cents to $1; few at $1.25—that is for large Gross prunes. Small plums are not wanted at any price. Peaches selling slowly at $1.25 to $1.50; few at $1.75. Our market is well supplied with domestic fruit of all kinds; peaches are coming in from Michigan at the rate of 25,000 to 35,000 per day and selling at 25 to 50 cents per basket. We are selling fall pears here at $2 to $2.75, according to quality. Weather is now cool and pleasant and fruit should arrive in good shape. Yours, very truly. PORTER BROTHERS COMPANY.

[Interview with a Music Teacher.] Two or three years ago some evil genius in New York found himself with a lot of empty studios on his hands. A wicked spirit prompted him to furnish these rooms magnificently. No expense was spared. Carpets, upholstery, hangings, and artistic decorations, all were of the grandest description. Then in a moment of inspiration he advertised for short time tenants, people, you know, who would hire the rooms by the hour. Among his applicants were two or three third rate musicians. They advertised widely, sent out thousands of circulars inviting ladies to visit their artistic studios, for so they had the assurance to call these places. The bait took Women like novelties. They came, they saw, they were conquered. They sent their daughters to these new masters. Men with such perfect taste in decorating rooms must be full of art souls, of course. Consequently the speculators began to thrive. They didn't know much music, but they knew human nature, and that was better. If they couldn't play they could flatter, and fatter they did. Pupils began to pour in upon them, and as the reents of the furnished room rose so did the tenants' receipts. The business, of course, increased when others realized the success of the scheme. Now, I could tell you of a dozen studios in this city. Each has an average four or five tenants who divide the day and evening up between them. Each has the room for say two hours and pays from $2 to $3 an hour. He charges $5 for a three-quarters of an hour's lesson, and there, you see, his profit comes in. The thing has killed decent music teaching in New York. How do I know that? Well, I ought to be an authority. I've paid enough for my knowledge. It's cost me four hints of my pupils and nine tenths of my income, that's all. Japan as a Fighting Power. [London News.] M. Tasima, the superintendent of those Japanese officers who are pursuing their military studies in Europe, has supplied a correspondent with some account of his country's position as a fighting power. The standing army of the empire consists of 40,000 men, the reserve of 80,000, and landwehr, or territorial reserve, of 150,000. All these troops are dressed and equipped in Euro, can fashion, and they are at present partly armed with Remington and partly with Sniders. A new rifle, however, the invention of a Japanese colonel, will shortly be ready for issue. It combines the merits of the Gras, the Chassepot, and the Mauser system, and the English officers who have tested it speak highly both of its principle and of its workmanship. In Japan service is obligatory, the conscript, after remaining for three years with the colors, passing into the reserves. Even after his discharge from the landwehr he forms—provided that he be less than 45 years of age—of a kind of national guard that can be called out for the purposes of home defense. Certain classes are by law exempted from active service abroad, but every Japanese, without exception, has to learn the use of arms as the price of his citizenship. A New Kind of Ornament.

The trees are counted into crops of so many a thousand and then cut. The first run is clear as oil, and after being dipped out with a paddle it is distilled and the hard resin is left white and clear as glass. The Australian rabbit is a grievous pest. It eats up the young and tender foliage, and carries havoc among the vegetation in general; and yet the rabbit has never been known to attempt to girdle the tree of liberty. The United States could well afford to trade its Anarchists for Australian rabbits. Another use has been found for electricity. It has been successfully applied as the motive power for a yacht, which was propelled from Dover to Calais on Monday in 3 hours and 51 minutes. The sea was calm, and the passage was made so noiselessly that a sea gull asleep on the water was not disturbed by the approach of the yacht, and was caught by the hands. In Japan service is obligatory, the conscript, after remaining for three years with the colors, passing into the reserves. Even after his discharge from the landwehr he forms—provided that he be less than 45 years of age—of a kind of national guard that can be called out for the purposes of home defense. Certain classes are by law exempted from active service abroad, but every Japanese, without exception, has to learn the use of arms as the price of his citizenship. A New Kind of Ornament. [Arctic Explorer's Letter.] The tall Esquimaux, "Abel Lincoln," was so delighted with his new trousers, and in fact, his whole outfit, that he danced about the dock in high glee. He cut such a funny figure that I just roared with laughter. I threw back my head, opened my mouth wide and enjoyed myself. Suddenly they all clustered about me and carnely peered—into my mouth. I stopped laughing and thought there must be something wrong with my appearance. This was a serious matter to me in those days, as I believed that my trim figure when ashore took many a girl's heart by storm. These half savages stood mutely gazing at me, and after some persuasion my messmates got me to open my mouth again. Each Esquimaux craned his neck forward to get a view. Yes, there it is, sure enough," said the expression on their faces. They were looking at some gold fillings in my teeth. And they set to jabbering and dancing around me as if mad. I learned that they took these gold fillings to be some new kind of ornament. Russian Railway Tickets. [Chicago Journal.] Every railway ticket in Russia has two sums upon it. If the price of the ticket were 13 rubles, it would show 13 and 3, and the price of the ticket would be 16 rubles; the explanation of which is that the 3 rubles is a special tax by the government upon the railway travelers to pay the expenses of the last Turkish war. The Doll of the World. [Chicago Herald.] The favorite doll of the world is made in England, that country supplying more than three-fourths of all the dolls carried by the children of civilized nations. Even the French dolls so called, being those with china heads, are made for the most part in England, the head alone coming from France. Better than Gold. Can be truly said of that new and efficacious remedy for Consumption and diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs, SANTA ABIE, for it is pleasant to the palate and death to a cold. Every bottle warranted by A. Krug, the Anaheim druggist. A Difficult and Hard. "We performed time ago," said a pilot hospitals to a report a very difficult as one.

No shade encroaching on the matchless mold Of those two lips, which should be openings soft In the pure profile; not as when she laughs, For that spoils all; but rather as if aloft Yon hyacinth, she loves so, leaned its staff's Burden of honey-colored buds, to kiss And capture 'twixt the lips apart for this; Then her lithe neck, three fingers might surround. How it should waver, in the pale gold ground, Up to the fruit-shaped, perfect chin it lifts! —Robert Browning. Insurance Agent in the Capital. A life insurance epidemic seems to have broken out among members of congress at both ends of the capitol this winter. Two or three weeks ago a gentleman appeared here whose manner was such as to place him in close relations with nearly every one whom he approached before he had been in town twenty-four hours. He is about 38 years of age, of pleasing address, and handsome face. He was well dressed and bore every evidence of being a gentleman. He was seen talking to first one member and then to another. Then he would appear on the senate floor and would whisper a word in the ear of Senator Van Wyck; then glide noiselessly over Senator Logan, and just as Senator Sherman was walking up to the desk to take his seat in the chair to call the senate to order this same man was seen to stop him for a moment. Senator Sherman received him pleasantly, and, in fact, seemed to be quite glad to meet him. The omnipresence of this attractive gentleman created the impression at first that he was engaged in some lobbying scheme, but it is learned that he is, no less than a life insurance agent who is anxious to increase his list of policyholders. This man represents a New York life insurance company, and I am informed that during the past month he has written something like $2,000,000 of risks upon the lives of members of congress, senators, cabinet officers and other prominent officials of the government.—Washington Cor. Minneapolis Tribune. What to do With a Diamond. "What advice would you recommend to a man who had stolen a diamond worth PACIFIC COAST ITEMS. While playing with a pistol Saturday, a son of John M. Phy, living five miles from Union, Or., accidentally shot and killed his brother Johnnie, aged eleven years. A San Leandro man hid a loaded revolver in a stove so that his son might not find it. The boy afterward built a fire in the stove, and in a short time the pistol made its presence known by exploding and sending a bullet through the youth's hand. The railroad company received a telegram on Friday last, says the Sacramento Record-Union, from a company of London capitalists, signifying their acceptance of terms for the purchase of a tract of 81,000 acres in Tehama county. The land consists of grazing and mountain land, of which a portion is timbered. At Tehachepi H. T. Walker, formerly Deputy Sheriff of Calico, San Bernardino county, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. The first shot glanced from his forehead and lodged in the ceiling of his room. The next passed through his head, killing him instantly. Mrs. Cooney, a young mother who lives in Oakland, was preparing a fire at her dwelling Wednesday afternoon. The fire smoldered and Mrs. Cooney grasped a can of coal oil to pour some into the stove. She held in her arms her child, between two and three years old. As she poured the coal oil into the stove, the fire blazed briskly. The flames communicated to the oil in the can, and a loud explosion occurred in an instant, and the mother and child were enveloped in flames. The lady cried piteously. Neighbors ran to the house and wrapped the lady and child in blankets. The fire in the house was soon extinguished. Mrs. Cooney is in a very critical condition, and her recovery is not expected. The child may live. MR. BENNETT—Dear Sir: By accident I came across your Insulator (a new invention to me) and perceiving at once the wonderful change in the tone of the piano since my last visit to that house, I concluded that I could not do without them, and therefore beg you to furnish me a set at your earliest convenience. Anybody who will take the trouble to place a muffled sounding piano on a floor without carpet will find the piano is double its former value. But as our civilization compels us to cover our floors with carpet we have to depend on What to do With a Diamond. "What advice would you recommend to a man who had stolen a diamond worth £100,000?" "I should give him up to the police." "But I want you to suppose that you could be brought to wink at it." "You have read the 'Moonstone'?" "Yes, and to a certain point it is true to life. A big diamond always brings bad luck. I would not hold one, except in the way of trade, on any terms." "To go back to the supposition diamond. Let us say that I have one in my pocket here. What shall I do with it? Could I not learn to cut it and dispose of it in small pieces?" "Yes, you might cut it in twenty years time. Take my word, sir, your diamond will only be a burden to you. Now, if an honest man comes to me with a diamond worth £100,000—as a matter of fact there are few diamonds of that value—I should proceed in this manner. I should look at the stone, weigh it, test it (it is a ticklish business when you may buy Birmingham rubies in Mandalay), and having satisfied myself of its value I should hand it to the vender and ask him to seal it up. Why? So he might not show it to any one else. I should then ask him to call in forty-eight hours for a reply and call some friends together, and shpuld say: 'Here is a diamond in the market worth £100,000; what will you take?' and we should form a syndicate, buy the stone, and holding it for a time, ultimately cut it and sell in small portions. Interview with an Expert." Treasure Exposed by a Squirrel. Bradley, the prospector, who discovered the new mining camp in Esmeraldia, formerly known as Lake District, but now changed to Hawthorne, gives the following account of how he found the rich gold-bearing vein on which the La Panta and other claims are located, through the merest chance. The La Panta lede is what is known as a siblind ledge," there being no surface croppings to indicate the existence of a mineral bearing vein at the point where it is located. In passing along the side of the hill Bradley's attention was attracted by a mass of decomposed quartz mingled with dirt that had been scratched out by ground-squirrels in digging holes in the side of the hill, which was fairly honey-combed with them. He collected some of the quartz, crushed it in a mortar and horned it out, getting a fine prospect in gold. This led him to search for the vein whence the decomposed quartz had been excavated, which he found by following the squirrel holes, which extended close to the rim of the vein, or gold-bearing ledge, one claim on which has been disposed of for $55,000. Had it not been for the excavations of the whiskered little rodents the gold-bearing vein that is attracting so many prospectors and mining men to Esmeraldia might have remained hidden for countless centuries. —Virginia (Montana) Chronicle.

"We performed an operation a short time ago," said a physician at one of the hospitals to a reporter, "which I consider a very difficult as well as a dangerous one. A man came to us with an abcess in his chest right over the left lung. He was suffering tortures, and said the abcess was caused by a thrust he received from the tusks of a wild boar while out hunting. "The patient was put under the influence of an anaesthetic, the chest was opened by the surgeon and the greater of three ribs were cut away with a small saw. When the abcess was reached a tube was inserted and all the pus drawn off, the cavity thoroughly cleansed, and the flesh put back in place. Of course it took a long time for the wound to heal, because of the missing parts of the ribs, which were replaced by nature in the shape of a cartilaginous structure, which was almost as good as the original ribs themselves. "The man was with us eight months after which time he went away entirely well and strong."—Chicago News. The Sin of Cantankerousness. General cantankerousness is an offence a thousand-fold more injurious to the church than any isolated case of sin of any kind can possibly be. A man may at least be a negatively good man until he commits some isolated act that merits expulsion. If he has done no good he may at least have done no harm. But the worst feature of the cantankerous man's sin usually consists in the fact that for years and years he has been a nuisance. He has interfered with every worker, and done little or nothing himself. There is no offence, no sin, no crime that does more harm to the church than general long-continued cantankerousness.—Canada Presbyterian When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.
