The San Francisco Ledger says the
Palace Hotel covers over ten acres or
ground. About eight acres of the
land exists only in the imagination of
the Ledger man.
In one day the fire in Virginia City
depreciated the value of mining stocks
$25,000,000. The uncertainty of min
ing stock wealth is illustrated by this
fact so plainly that the most obtuse
cannot fail to see and understand it.
The Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany have donated $10,000 to the Vir
ginia City sufferers and t hey run free
trains loaded with supplies for those
people. Here is at least one corpora
tion with a soul, and a large sized one
at that. '
The news of the death of Mayor
Oris, of San Francisco, will be re
ceived in sorrow by his many friends
and acqu lintances in this city. His
death wa« caused by acute diptheria,
and was very sudden. He was at his
office comparatively well three days
ago.
It will make no difference so long
as they are in fashion, but girls, those
stripped stockings are dangerous. The
highest medical authority pronounces
the color poisonous. Many cases are
cited where sores and eruptions on
the limbs have followed tlie wearing
of the zebra hued hose. In one In
stance the girl was unable to walk for
eight mouths.
The people of San Francisco are li
able to panic. They catch it as easy
as a boy catches the measles. Yester
day, without cause or provocation, a
run on the National Gold Bank aud
Trust Company was inaugurated, ard
for a few hours things were lively in
that vicinity. At the hour of closing
the bank announced that it would re
sume tbe work of paying out on Mon
day If people called for their money.
The iron monitor Comanche lias
been overhauled at Mare island and is
now about ready to leave the hands of
the workmen. The vessel is of no
earthly account. She has cost an im
mense sum of money und has never
earned a cent. She will never be
worth the powder it would take to
blow her out of or under the water.
It would have been money in the peo
ple's pockets if she had remained at
the bottom of the bay.
Contra Costa county lias made a
somewhat successful experiment in
tobacco culture. Mr. Germania cul
tivated a small area aud the plant
grew so well, and looked so much bet
tor than the average California pro
duct that he took samples of it to Gil
roy nnd had it cured by the CULP pro
cess. The tobacco proved to be of a
superior quality anil a company was
formed with a capital stock of §10,000.
Forty acres were planted from which
one crop has been taken and another
will soon be gathered making two
crops in one season. About 1,000
pounds of the Florida tobacco were
produced which sold readily for twen
ty-five cents per pound. Mr. Gulp,
the inventor ofthe Culp process
one of tbe oldest tobacco growers In
the State pronounces this tobacco of
superior quality and expresses the be
lief that Contra Costa county will be
come a successful tobacco growing
county.
No people in tlie world are more
disposed to look ou the bright side of
things than those of California. They
seldom yield to despondency, and
when they do the feeling has but a
momentary existence and soon gives
place to a disposition to make the
most or the best of untoward circum
stances. The failure of a great bank
or tbe burning of a large city falls
like a pall on the community, and for
a few hours all is dark umfglonmy.
But soon the rallying power makes
itself felt, and in a little lime the ca
lamity is forgotten amid the excite
ment of overcoming its consequences.
When San Francisco's great bank
closed Its doors the people were
stunned. It was a heavy blew, ren
dered all the more heavy because it
was unexpected, yet withhi thirty
days those ponderous iron doors turned
on their hinges and revealed to skep
tical eyes such masses of gold that
coclidtnce in the bank and faith in
its managers were at once established.
All the principal part of a cily is laid
iv ashes and in three days, even before
the earth hus cooled, the work of re
building Is resumed. Verily our peo
ple are not easily discouraged.
The Cause and the Effect.
If the boy is father to the man and
man is no improvement on the boy,
■bout tlie close of the next decade Cal
ifornia will have a large population
of the worst and most worthless men
that ever disgraced God's footstool.
Our towns and cities plentifully
sprinkled with boys who nre a dis
grace to their parents anil an annoy,
ancetothe neighborhood in which
they live. The piously inclined are
horitied at the deviltries of these rest
let's youths atid the practically mind
ed are studying the problem "what
shall we do with our boys?" There
are two ways of answering the que.-
tion. One is to let them aline and
the jails and State's Pr B>n will take
care of them. The other is to find
them employment and keep them ut
it. Idleness is a prolific manufacturer
of bail boys. The boy of California
is no worse than the boy of the East
ern States until he is corrupted by
idleness and evil communications.
Work makes good boys and good boys
rarely develope Into bad men. In
San Francisco not one half of the boys
aged from ten to twelve years are
kept steadily employed. This is not
the fault ofthe boys or their parents.
It is a forced idleness. There is noth
ing for them to do. The duties per
formed by boys in the East are, with
us, discharged by our cheap labor
chattel the Chinaman. The common
laborer complains that he is forced in
to competition with the Chinamen
and that this is so is a lamentable fact,
but the greatest evil that the mongo
lian toiler is foicing upon us is the de
moralization of our boys. The China
man does the work the boys ought to
do and for want of employment the
boy degenerates to a hoodlum then
sinks to the level of the thief. There
may be other causes tending to make
bad boys in California dut idleness is
the prime cause.
Cuba.
The people are beginning to talk
about Cuba and information relative,
to the Island and its people is eagerly
sought after. In answer to the ques
tions of a correspondent we condense
from the American Encyclopedia the
following: Cuba is the largest and
most Westerly of the Wtrat India
group of islands. Its Western extrem
ity, Cape San Antonio, 1« distant one
bundled and thirty miles from the
coast of Yucatan. The extreme length
of the Island is 763 miles. Its width
varies from 20 to 134 miles. The area
including dependencies i 547,278 square
miles. The Island is long, narrow
und sliirhtly curved, the convex side
being to the North. The entire coast
line Is about 2,200 miles. The latest
trustworthy census wus taken In 18G2
which gave a total population of 1,359,
--438 of which about 175,000 are slaves.
Havana, the chief city of the
Island has a population of 20">,000.
There are thirteen other cities, twelve
towns and 324 population centers
called pueblos and caserios. The
chief products of Cuba are sugar and
tobacco. Cotton is cultivated but not
to a great extent. Many cuttle are
bred but the supply does not equal the
deiiianr". The value of products of the
Tslan I from sug ir cane, tobacco and
the honey bee for 1871 was $78,371,897
There are copper mines on the Island
also mines of iron, alum and cop
peras but they have received little at
tention. The Island is one of the rich
est spots on the face of the globe, but
the rebellion against the government
of Spain which was inaugurated iv
1868 and has been maintained up lo
this time lias greatly reduced its
annual products and caused de
struction of much private property.
If, as now seems probable, the United
States interferes and expo uses the
cause of the patriots, quiet will soon
reign throughout the Island.
An Important Decision.
The case of the People vs. Newman
elicited so much interest in this coun
ty during its pendency before our
courts that a publication of its result
in the Supreme Court must bean iiem
that will attract considerable atten
tion when the importance ofthe prin
ciples involved and the panics inter
ested are considered. We give the
decision in full aud as follows:
July Term, 1875.— Filed Sept. Vtth.
People, )
v«. \ No. 10,125.
Newman. J
The defendant was indicted and con
victed of the crime of an assault with
the intent to commit murder. There
was no direct evidence proving that
the defendant committed the offence,
but there was circumstantial ev.deiiee
tending to prove I ho defendant's guilt.
At the instance of the prosecution the
Court Instructed the jury us follow.-.:
"if the jury flud from the evideuce
that the circumstances evidence a
strong suspicion of guilt, and the de
fendant might, if he was Innocent, ex
plain these circumstances con-Istei t
| with his own Inuocenee, and yet does
not offer such explanation, it is v cir
cumstance which you haven right to
consider in connection with utl cis us
to whether the defendant is or is not
guil'y." The instruction is indefen
sible upon any recognized rule of crim
inal law.
The defendant is not required to offer
any evidence, or to explain any fact
or circumstance addressed in evidence
until the prosecution lias made out a
prima facie case against him. He is
not required to rebut evidence which
merely produces in the munis of the
jury a"strong suspicion of his guilt,
nnd neglect or refusal to explain lhe
factsor circumstances cuUsingthestis
pictou caniioi be accepted as evidence
leudii g to piove his guilt.
We see nothing in tlie other instruc
tions which obviates this error.
The third instiuetioo given at tlie
reqm st of the prosecution, contains
Ihe following proposition: "—A sane
lltan is conclusively presumed to con
template the natural and piobable
consequences of Ids own acts, and
therefore the intent to murder is con
clusively inferred by the deliberate
use tif a deadly weapon unless provajd
to have been done in self defense or
aci i lently.'' This is erroneous, the
intent to murder would not he conclu
sively inferred from lhe deliberate use
of a deadly weapon, w here tlieciretim
stances timer which it was used, weie
such as would excite the fears of a
reasonable man that the person uyon
whom the deadly weapon was u-ed
was about to intl ct upon him a great
bodily injury or to feloniously break
antl enter his dwelling house. This
error does not npi»ear to be cured by
ihe other instructions.
Judgment nml order revoked and
cause remanded for a new trial.
RHOI»ES, J.
We concur in Ihe judgment and In
Ihe opinion of Mr. Justice Rhodes ou
the last potnt discussed by him.

THE FAMED VINEYARD.
OUT AT CUCAMONGO.
-A. N«W SETTLEMENT.
Out through tho splendid farming
country of El Monte, thence "over
tlie hillsand far away," past the se
cluded villageof Spadra, nnd on across
the plain to the base of the Cueaiuon
go Mountain, a representative of the
Herald wended his way. Emerging
from the gorge through which the
Southern Pacific Ritiltoad passes out
after leaving Spadra, a beautiful cir
cular valley twelve miles wide greets
the eye, mountains tearing on every
side.
MOUNT CUCAMONOO
To the left lifts its head some 7,500 feet
in air. At the base of this mountain,
just three miles from the railroad, is
the Cucamongo Ranch. Every wine
drinker in America has hoa I of the
CUCAMONOO WINE,
For so celebrated has become the pro
duct of this vineyard that counterfeit
ers have been busy, and a large per
centage ofthe bottled California wines
pass under that name. Lying at the
Southern base of the mountain, on a
gently sloping plaiuau, nnd removed
from the sea-coast some thirty-five
miles, the ft tar*, never affect the vines
and frost is unknown, Ihe ranch was
purchased a year or so ago by
MESSiW. DOWNEY, HELLMAN AND
~ DREYFUS,
And they have with their usual energy
and enterprise gone to work to im
prove the buildings and enlarge the
plantation. A tine wine cellar, as
large perhaps as any in the State, has
been constrttetod, ami a grape crusher
of great capacity lias been put up. So
perfectly arrange I is the cellar that it
it ditticuit to believe that it holds
within it nearly 175,000 gallons of
wine. The grape crop this year was
not materially impaired by the frost,
but the extremely warm weather of
the last two weeks has dried the ir rapes
so that the vintage will not exceed
75,000 gallons, against 93.000 last year.
The vineyard, formerly embracing 135
acres, has been increased by 50 acres,
an I it is proposed to still further en
large it. Thisflopj Is as well adapted
for
TROPICAL FRUIT 3
As any in tbe State, and it is strange
that-the original owners never turned
theirattention to the growing of them
The present proprietors, however, are
pulling out, large plantations, no less
than 5,000 orange, lemon and walnut
trees having already been planteil.
Theclimat*of Cucamongo is extreme
ly beneficial to invalids suffering from
lung diseases, and the surrounding
scenery is mi attractive that Hie tour
ist would find a sojourn there very en
tertaining. A hotel will shortly be
constructed in a beautiful location for
merly owned by Mr. Sainsevaine.with
ample accommodations for visitors.
ABOUT FOlli MILES
North from trie vineyard are locate !
the lands of the Cueamnngo Home
stead Association, consisting of some
500 acres. A flume is now being built
to supply the tract with water, and as
soon as it is completed, wfiich will be
in a mouth, the purchasers of the loin
will take possession, and thus begin*
the era of a flourishing c dony. To
the East of the vineyard in a fine tract
owned by the Cucainongo Agricu tu
ral Association, which is being im
proved rapidly ami planted with fruit
trees and vines.
THE BUSINESS AFEAIRS
Of the Cucamongo Wine Company
are under the management of one of
the proprietors, Mr. Benjamin Drey
fus.and his excellent system is worthy
of imitation. Tbe most perfect order
aud cleanliness prevail, and the
grounds are in splendid condition.
The work is all let out by contract,
and none but Chinamen are employed
on tbe premises. Mr. Dreyfus is en
abled t> reside nt Anaheim, rniinu
over to the vineyard occasionally :o
see that the contracts MM complied
with, his presence being only reipiired
during the vintage. Altogether there
is so much of interest at this famous
ranch ihat visitors to this section
should not fail to call therein their
waoilerings. On another occ islou we
will relate what we saw ou the Cbiuo
| ranch and about Kiucon.

Vikginia City,October3oth.—Time
lias been called and Virginia City
comes up to the scratch smiling, wilh
both eyes blackened, her nose swollen
and red with the frost, and battered
both above and below the belt. The
city, to carry out the prize ring figure,
puis up its props and requests Provi
dence to come and do its worst. She
is good yet for any amount of punish
ment, and if Heaven holds off and
gives her a fair chance she will very
soon get square upon her pins again.
In every direction buildings are going
up and large gangs of laborers are
wheeling bricks from the ruin", clean
ing and piling them for use. Top
pling walls aie being pulled down,
lumber hauled uud everything being
done toward rebuilding the cily, not a
moment of time being lost. In places
where the (ire still smoulders antl ren
tiers the bricks too hot for handling,
one gang of men dashes water over
them, while other* bear them tiff.
Lumber is scarce, but is hourly In com
ing morepleutiful. The palm for en
terprise must be awarded to the saloon
men. The Phoenix comparison is weak
as applied to them. They have not
only risen from their ashes, but lather,
live the saloon men, stood amidst the
flames, whisky-bottle in baud, and
supplied each sufferer with his cordial

dust. To their credit be it said that
they neither watered the whisky nor
raised the price. Virginia C.ty is grat
