IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRC HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... December 1880 The various stores are preparing for the holiday trade and are unpacking the useful, ornamental and toothsome articles which are most in demand at this season. Mippolyte Cahen and A. Langenberger are displaying some beautiful crockery and glassware. Messrs. Goodman and Rimpau have a bewitching array of fancy articles suitable for presents. Miss Nellie Kuchel at the Anaheim Millinery store has an abundance of handsome millinery and during the week has received a large case of papetries, autograph and picture albums, scrap books, etc. Mr. Mendelson of the Merchant Tailoring Emporium has a variety of fancy goods. The Anaheim Cash Store has a fine lot of toys. A. L. Pellegrin is doing a good business at present. R.

Take it all in all the marble which infuses vigor into vegetation and causes grass to grow with a rapidity which is bewildering. The grass on the plains is even now an inch above ground and the sheep will be in splendid condition in a month or six weeks from now. Since our last report 191 inches has fallen making the total for the season 3.51 inches. It may be of interest to state that the rainfall between the 19th and 29th of December, 1879 was 3 inches. In Los Angeles the rain storm was ushered in by a violent shock of earthquake. The storm was general all over the state. L. E. Evans and Miss Louisa J. Kellogg were married on Dec. 12th at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. E. Kellogg west of Anaheim, by Alex Bouley, Justice of Peace.

Take it all in all the market in holiday goods is better supplied than in previous years and there is enough to supply our townspeople as well as our country cousins for miles around home. The naughty but aesthetic editor of the Los Angeles Herald observes: "We would suggest that the proper adjustment of feminine hips is a subject well worthy the attention of our belles. This reflection arises from our observation of a stylish lady yesterday, who, by some oversight, had suffered the "ballast," so to speak, of her left side to drop at least three inches out of line with her right. Swelling and voluptious contours are admirable things when they are properly balanced. The curved line is the line of beauty, undoubtedly, but there should be correspondence in this as in other matters." It was indeed a glorious rain! It was one of those warm rains Why not present your best girl with a box of elegant visiting cards which are for sale at this office.

An unusual and very interesting program was presented by Mrs. Steffen of W Broadway street, who presented an illustrated story of "The Littlest Camel," a film which she assembled in its entirety along with the musical accompaniment. The film is a Christmas story and is most appealing to youngsters and adults alike, bringing the story of the birth of Christ in an entirely new vein, using as her star, the littlest camel who, like th grown-up camels, wanted to visit the Kings in other lands. Finally was called upon to carry very heavy load to a King who lived across the hot desert and upon arriving found not the cartes of kings but a lowly manger. Disappointment at first greeted him inquisitive eyes as he saw the back but upon investigation he found he visited the greatest King all and his heavy load was light.
