WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 19, 1887. SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. A SEVEN-DAY GRIND. We are sorry to note the fact that the Times and Herald have followed the Tribune in printing their paper seven days in the week. In apologizing for the new departure, The Times says: This labor on the Monday morning's paper was performed on Sunday and Sunday night. The one day of rest claimed either by editors, reporters, telegraph operators, compositors, pressmen, carriers, the small army of people whose united efforts produce the paper and place it in the hands of its readers is thus obliterated. This is done, not because editors, reporters, printers, and the small army aforesaid are ambitious to work all the time or even to make more money by reason of their unremitted toll, but rather because the great public (whose every wish is consulted by those catering to it) have a fancy for its paper, with its coffee, Monday morning. But in instances of this kind Vanderbelt's violent objection — "The [great] public be damned" — ought to be employed. Every working man needs his one day of rest in seven; and if there is any class which especially requires that periodical abstinence from labor, it is the small army of employees necessary to the production of daily papers as complete and enterprising as those of Los Angeles, for their work is more than ordinarily exhausting, nearly all of it being done at night. The divine law which commands rest on the seventh day is headed only by those of strong religious convictions. What is wanted is a law which will secure that day to the enjoyment of every man, if such a thing is possible. It is probable that among the employees of the newspapers mentioned there are a number who would get rid in the face and wildly eyed if they were asked to support what they would term "a Sunday law." But is there one of them who would now object to a law preventing the publication of Monday morning newspapers? A law compiling the occasion of work one day in seven would be emphatically a poor man's law. The rich need no such protection, but the laboring man dogs need protection from the ever encroaching traps. DIVISION OF COUNTIES. The effort being made to create the new county of Glenn out of Colusa has developed a feeling among the advocates and opponents of the measure that it will be surprising if blood be not shed before the legislature adjourns. Charges of the corrupt use of coin in influencing members are freely made, and pandemonium reigns whenever the question of division is up for discussion. Fresno, also, is all torn up over a proposition to take from that county enough territory to make the new county of Lorraine. It is possible that both projects would be adopted, if the session of the Legislature did not terminate. But the indications are that the bills will fail of passage for the reason indicated. We congratulate the people of Los Angeles county in having escaped the biennial wrangle over the question of the division of this county. Not because there is no merit in the proposed measure, but because the effort this session would have been futile, by reason of the opposition of White Ross, Briarly and Kuox and a great deal of unnecessary work, bad language and other unpleasant features attending the advocacy or opposition of such a measure would have been done and used still nothing accomplished. When the question of the division of Los Angeles county does come up, we hope it will go through with a rush—or be killed expeditiously. A GERMAN at Snow Hill, Md., was called upon to marry a couple other day under rather singular circumstances. The bride and groom elect had been living together for twenty-seven years, and were the parents of seventeen children, eleven of whom are living. The groom claimed to have been honest in his intention to get married when he was able, but never felt so until a few days ago, when told that the marriage license fee had been reduced to one dollar. Then he exclaimed: "Now is my time to marry." The shortest bill ever introduced in the Maine Legislature, or in any other, perhaps, was presented Thursday week, as follows: "See 1. The dog is hereby declared to be a domestic animal." See 2. This act shall ship. San Pedro throughout mountain Deadman ships during their anchorage night two o'clock were wrecked but fortunate lives were saved while during the night shut down signals of danger about two o'clock east of Deaf citizens of the shore, those who watch such a galley while the raft would have launched and this morning covered men which had fled water 200 or Island. It put Kennebec, Ford, laden with the Southern Her forecast sea her master gale, and here in the rigging ing every mooring water Captain Van Steamship Co. ordered one man manned by six two other boats started out senior of the H position. The other wrist time St Louis Bay, with a crew Sunday evening her anchor, and reef near Point crew succeeded light this morning rocks, but appalled. It is better to be born lucky than rich. The Los Angeles boom was born lucky and is rapidly getting rich. The real estate agents of that city, noting above the northern horizon a small Oakland boom, no bigger than a man's hand, hastened to warn the recently thawed out Eastern tourists that Oakland was under four feet of snow. Oakland folks heard the allegation and determined to deny the allegator. So they arranged an excursion from Los Angeles for the Eastern tourists, and it arrived on Friday night, February 4th, and lo! next morning the tourists opened their eyes on a driving snowstorm that had sheated the Contra Costa mountains in shining white. Los Angeles has more luck than a free migrant. A snowstorm up here comes once or twice in ten years, and is really an agreeable experience, cooling the sultry air, and though it fell on open roads, hills, heliotrope, volcans and cannellas, they are minnured by it. But how shall we ever make it right with these excuses? "LA ORINUNO OF SALTILLO, MEXICO, is not favorably impressed by Americans. The editor struggles with his feelings as follows: 'As a general rule, who admits, however, some exceptions, the American presents himself in Mexico with the air of a conqueror, after the manner of Abbas, the Mahometan, who called Heaven to witness that he lacked room for his conquests. Our cities, our fields, our mountains, our people, all appear to him inferior, and he makes a gesture of Olympic dislam at our tropical sun, as if saying to it familiarly, you are but an ordinary firefly in comparison with the grand sun of New York or Washington. He struts about, looking on all sides over his shoulder, and examines the earth with the need of his tron-shed book, for he doubts it can support him, so ponderous does its think himself." A WASHINGTON dispatch says: "Chief Clerk Lockwood, of the Interior Department, was removed by Secretary Lamar for revealing the secrets of the office. A few days before his dismissal was ordered the Secretary gave an audience to ex Delegate Cannon of Utah, who is a fugitive from whom I am living. The railroad difficulty because of the late heavy storm will probably be all straightened out to day. The Southern Pacific people expected that the trains which left here on Wednesday would have been honest in his intention to get married when he was able, but never felt so until a few days ago, when told that the marriage license fee had been reduced to one dollar. Then he exclaimed: 'Now is my time to marry!' The shortest bill ever introduced in the Maine Legislature, or in any other perhaps, was presented Thursday week, as follows: "See 1. The dog is hereby declared to be a domestic animal." See 2. This act shall take effect when approved." This is not a Maine joke, but an act affecting every dog in the State. It is the affirmation of a fact that has been called in question by Maine law courts. It is understood that this bill is introduced to avenge the loss of a cherished dog, because under existing Maine laws the theft could not be convicted of larceny. VIRTUE is its own reward, but it is, the unvirtuous who get something more substantial. Such, at least, is true in the case of Sir Charles Dike; the English statesman who was driven from public life last year because of proved immoralities. An admiring distant relative has left him a legacy of $700,000. A SAN FRANCISCO judge has actually refused to grant a postponement of the trial of Goldensen, the murderer of the young girl Kelly. This is an unprecedented action, and the members of the bar could not get over their astonishment for a whole day. Scripture and Temperance. On April 12—Dr. Howard Crosby delivered a lecture on the Scriptural view of temperance before the students of Theological Seminary at Rutgers College, New Brunswick, N.J., last night. The lecture has created considerable excitement among temperance people and clergymen there. In the course of his remarks Crosby said: "We must deal with the sin of intemperance as with any other sin; we need no societies for it; I don't believe in pledges; I believe the history of the pledge has shown it to be a failure; I don't believe in these organizations of young people for temperance work." Prof. Dooolittle arose at this point and asked Dr. Crosby whether if a young man called at his house he would advise giving him wine as freely as he would lemonade or coffee? Dr. Crosby replied: "I don't believe in treating, but I'll say this: If you want a glass of claret with your beef-streak to morrow morning, and can afford to have it and don't have it, you're a fool." A great sensation followed this utterance. Yesterday's Trilogy says: "The railroad difficulty because of the late heavy storm will probably be all straightened out to day. The Southern Pacific people expected that the trains which left here on Wednesday would have been honest in his intention to get married when he was able but never felt so until a few days ago, when told that the marriage license fee had been reduced to one dollar.

A few days before his dismissal was ordered the Secretary gave an audience to ex Delegate Cannon of Utah, who is a fugitive from justice. Lockwood was accused of giving publicity to the fact that the Secretary had granted an interview with Cannon, who being a subject for judicial inquiry, could not have been recognized by the Secretary of the Interior or any other official." And now it should be in order to remove Lamar for holding converse with a fugitive from justice. Just at present there exists a question whether or not an assessment will be made in San Diego county this year. The reason of this "state of things" is found in the fact that the salary—$3,000—allowed by law for the work is entirely inadequate. The salaries of the deputy assessors last year cost as much as that. It is conceded that the work cannot be done for less than $5000. No officer is going to bind himself to do a $5000 job for $3000. A bill is before the Legislature to remedy the difficulty. If it does not pass the assessment will go by default, unless a cheap boy can be used to do the work. In all Catholic churches in the diocese of Delaware, on Sunday the pastors read the pronunciamento of Bishop Curtis forbidding calls given with the intention of raising money for religious purposes, or holding picnics, fairs, excursions or entertainments of any kind for the benefit of anything having a religious or a charitable object, without the approval and consent of the Bishop. The decree was received with some surprise and created considerable sensation.

The men living to and were the men, eleven of whom claimed to be to get married felt so unnatural that the marriage to one dolls is my time produced in the net, perhaps, as follows: to be acted shall Shipwrecks at San Pedro. San Pedro, February 15.—The storm at San Pedro raged with great severity throughout Monday, and the waves ran mountain high. The vessels at anchor off Deadman's Island were tossed about like chips during the day, and two hauled in their anchors and went to sea. During the night two others slipped their anchors and were wrecked. The wrecks were complete, but fortunately and almost miraculously no lives were lost. The people of San Pedro were watching the vessels at sea very closely during the day, and until the darkness of night shut them from view. About 10 p.m. signals of distress were seen at a distance of about two miles southeast of San Pedro and east of Deadman's Island. Many of the citizens of the little seaport town repaired to the shore, animated with a desire to assist those who were battling with the waves, but such a gale was blowing from the southeast while the rain was falling in torrents that it would have been simply suicidal to have launched and gone out in a boat. At dawn this morning those who were on watch discovered men clinging to the rigging of a ship, which had foundered in thirty-five feet of water 200 or 300 yards east of Deadman's Island. It proved to be the American ship Kennebee, 2000 tons burden, Captain A. Ford, laden with coal from Liverpool, for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. Her forecastle only was showing above the sea, her mast having been shattered by the gale, and her officers and crew were perched in the rigging and on the forecastle, expecting every moment to be plunged into the surging waters that raged about them. Captain Vito Helms, of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company's steamer Los Angeles, ordered one of his boats to be lowered and manned by six of his men, and together with two other boats from San Pedro, they started out, and soon had resounded every sailor of the Kennebee from his dangerous position. The other wreck was that of the barkentine St Louis. Captain Jaques, from Coos Bay, with a cargo of lumber. She arrived Sunday evening. Last night she slipped her anchor, and in the darkness drifted on a reef near Point Firman. The officers and crew succeeded in getting ashore. At daylight this morning she was pounding on the rocks, but apparently intact, but before winter in Montana. Chicago, February 14.—The Inter-Ocean's St. Paul special says: "Late reports from Montana indicate that affairs there are assuming a most alarming aspect. A week ago people were bewailing the fate of their cattle, but now there is a source of apprehension that there will be an appalling loss of human life. Snow began falling in the middle of November, and there is now more on the ground than for ten years. Most of the stage roads are entirely closed up and trains are running at irregular intervals. The supply of fuel is almost exhausted. Three days ago coal was selling at $60 a ton at Port Benton, and now it can hardly be purchased at any price. The snow is drifted to enormous depths, and people living at the mountain bases are in imminent danger of meeting a horrible death beneath avalanches or of freezing to death. Should another protracted storm occur it is believed that hundreds will succumb to its terrors. As it is, more people have frozen to death this winter than for twenty-five years. The cold has been intense, varying from 40 below zero at Helena to 60 below at Fort Shaw and Assinaboine. In the vicinity of the Little Jennie and Grand Central-minnea, on Bald Mountain, the snow is eight feet deep on a level, and travel is impossible except on snow-shoes." Some twenty five or thirty cowboys, bound for Texas, boarded a Northern Pacific train in Dakota the other day and took possession of an emigrant sleeper. Every one of them sported a revolver and a bottle of whisky. They refused to show the conductor their tickets and demanded that he should drink with them. A passenger suggested that the conductor should get some opium and ship it into their bottles. At Bismarck the brakeman was sent to a drug store for the opium. The brakeman went into the car and accepted their generous offer to imbibe, and, while pretending to drink, slipped a small quantity of the soothing drug in each bottle. Quiet soon reigned where before all had been pandemonium. These denizens of the wild rowdy west were soon sleeping sounder than the Cardiff giant. The exultant conductor rolled them over like logs, went through their pockets, punched their tickets and rolled them back in their boots.

San Francisco, February 16. The frequency of dynamite explosions along the Sutter and Geary street cable lines, and the apparent inability of the police to detect the perpetrators of the outrages, have been the cause of much adverse criticism of that department. Chief Crowley and Capt. Lees felt this keenly, and two or three weeks ago, held a council of war and resolved to catch the rascals at any cost. A double patrol, that is, two officers on every block, was placed along both railroad lines. Several persons were suspected of participating in the dynamite outrages, among whom were John Stieves, one of the Sutter-street strikers and T. C. Dean, conductor on the North Beach and Mission line. The dwelling places of these suspects were under constant surveillance. Stieves resided at 412 Larkin street, between Golden Gate avenue and Turk street, and Dean at 52 Fourth street. Capt. Lees had reason to believe that a move was about to be made by the dynamiters, and last night the police were cautioned to be very careful. At midnight Stieves' house was surrounded by detectives, and developments were patiently waited for. It was 4:39 o'clock this morning when two detectives saw a man leave Stieves' house and go into Turk street, and then eastward toward Hyde street. The detectives followed closely and were soon joined by two others. The man evidently perceived the officers, for he immediately started to run, and while doing so he was seen to throw something into a garden as he passed. The officers called upon him to halt, but this only had the effect of increasing his speed. The officers then drew their revolvers and began living after him. Officer Callman, whose beat is on Hyde street, heard the noise, and ran down to) Turk street just in time to catch the fugitive. The bomb which Stieves is said to have thrown away when fleeing from the officers is an ingenious and internal contrivance. It consisted of two sticks of dynamite sewed up in slate-colored cloth. At the end of the cloth was some loose dynamite and at the extreme end of the bomb were found several dynamite caps. The bomb was about fourteen inches long and had strings attached to each end. The detective explained that Seed Bill Vetoed. Washington, February 16.—The President has vetoed the bill appropriating $10,000 for the distribution of seeds to the drought stricken counties of Texas. Among other reasons he says he finds no warrant for it in the Constitution and adds to $100,000 worth of seeds annually distributed at government expense by Congressmen to their constituents, and suggests that if a sufficient of them should request the Commissioner of Agriculture to send their shares of the grain thus allowed them to the suffering farmers of Texas, they might be enabled to sow their crops. The constituents for whom in theory this grain is intended could well bear temporary deprivation and doubtless could experience the satisfaction attending deeds of charity. The distinguisher emptions on the face, the sunken eye, the pallid complexion, indicate that there is something wrong going on within. Expel the lurking foe to health. Ayer's Sarsaparilla was devised for that purpose, and does it.
