THE DAILY and WEEKLY HER
ALD has more than doable the cir
culation of any other paper published
in Southern California. Businessmen
recognize it accordingly as the best
advertising medium South of San
Francisco.
SATURDAY, DEC. 25, 1875.
A Merry Christmas.
"Glory to God in the Highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men."
No Paper To-morrow.
No paper will be issued from the
Herald office to-morrow morning.
Christmas is the first holiday of the
year of which tit avails itself. Our
patrons were regularly served ou the
Fourth of July and Thanksgiving
mornings and as we have been thus
faithful we are confident our readers
will concede the printer this the last
holiday of the year.
A despatch was received in this city
yesterday, from San Diego, contra
dicting the report that Governor Vil
laorana and Pedro Badilla, with
twenty-eight others, had been mur
dered near the border. The existence
ot lawless bands in that vicinity is
admitted, but the wholesale murder
reported is without foundation. The
troops now on the way from San Fran
cisco will soon reach the scene of the
trouble, and we may reasonably hope
that those of the outlaws who do not
seek safety in flight, will soon be ren
dered quite harmless.
Artificial Stone.
The Egyptians, Chinese and Romans
possessed the secret of manufacturing
stone and they used the artificial am
terlal in the building of those massive
structures whose beautiful forms have
withstood the storms of thousands of
years. In Central and South America
we have evidence that a race long
Bince passed away knew the secret of
converting sand into enduring stone.
They have left monumeuts of their
knowledge which are the wonder and
admiration of the wise and progressive
nineteenth century. Within the past
decade tbe long lost art has been found
and to-day artificial stone is so com
mon as to attract no more than ordi
nary attention. There are, we believe,
two patents for manufacturing this
useful material now in use in the Uni
ted States. A company using the
Frear patent is supplying the San
Francisco market. What is known
as the Asbestine Artificial Stone is
manufactured by another process, and
there recently arrived in this city a
couple of gentlemen, Messrs. Barrett
and Hamilton, who have already
commenced manufacturing the As
bestine. Their works are in East Los
Angeles and the process by which
they produce tue stone was given in
detail in the columns of the Herald
several days since. The material is
solid, seamless and more endurable
than the stone dug from the quarries.
It in moulded lv any shape required
and costs less than natural stone. For
sidewalks, terracing, hall'floors, win
dow and door sills the artificial stone
is coming into general use. In the
East residences and other buildings
several stories high are built en
tirely of this material. Artificial
stone was the only material that with
stood the ordeal of the great Chicago
fire. The approaches to the Suez canal,
its lighthouse, twenty-three miles of
viaduct conveying water through the
city of Paris and the Academy of Mu
sic in New York, are all built of arti
ficial stone. Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Rochester, To
ledo, New Orleans, San Francisco,
Chicago and nearly every other city
in the Union contain specimens of ar
tificial stone, and everywhere it has
stood the most trying tests. We have
no doubt the gentlemen above named
will meet with satisfactory encourage
ment iv their efforts to establish this
industry in Los Angeles. The artifi
cial stone will supply a waut long felt
here. There are no valuable stone
quarrries in the vicinity of thiscity,
aud as this material can be supplied
cheaper than natural stone there is
every probability that the factory will
soon have orders equal to its fullest
capacity to supply.
Tobacco.
Tobacco growing iv California lias,
as yet, scarcely advanced beyond ex
periment. In but one locality—Gil
roy—has the business assumed stabil
ity and magnitude. But tobacco is
grown all over California and in many
places, especially where the experi
ment is made by those possessing some
knowledge of tobacco culture, encour
aging results have followed. The
quantity and quality of the article
produced has been quite encouraging,
and if a market could be found, we
have uo doubt but that the annual
tobacco product of our State would be
counted by the million pounds. But
dealers and manufacturers have done
much to discourage the business by
refusing to purchase the native grown
article and prejudicing the public
against it. It is difficult to find Gil
roy tobacco in the shops of San Fran
cisco. They do not keep it and the ci-
gar manufactories are not slow to in
form their customers that it makes an
i nferior cigar. To avoid tbe loss which
this unwarranted prejudice threatened
to Impose on them and find a market
for their product, the Company found
it necessary to ship a part to the East,
where it commands a high price, and
to manufacture a part themselves. In
crying down our home grown tobacco
our dealers are pandering to a popular
folly. The people have a weakness
for imports. They will pay a fabulous
price for wine beariug a foreign label
and refuse, as a gift, the vintage of the
same California vineyard honestly la
beled. So of cigars. Three-fourths of
the " imported " cigars sold iv Cali
fornia are made by Chiuamen in the
cellars of Jackson Street, but they are
in boxes bearing foreign labels and
tiiul purchasers, when a much better
Gilroy cigar will not sell, though of
fered at half the price. We shall get
over this weakness by-and-bye, and
when we do, our home industries will
thrive and our pockets possess a stron
ger metalic ring. In this valley to
bacco growing has been tried in va
rious localities, and everywhere the
growth has been strongand luxurient.
In the preparing and curing there
have been those failures and disap
pointments always attendant upon
inexperience and a want of practical
knowledge. More successful results
have followed the trials of those who
possessed information on the subject.
We have examined some very fair to
bacco grown in Azusa and Los Nietos.
About Downey City considerable ex
perimenting iv this line has been done,
and we believe that portion oi the val
ley will yet become the great tobacco
district of Southern California. Mr.
Perkins, an old tobacconist, this year
planted six acres near Downey City,
from which he has cut ten thousand
pounds of what he calls a superior
quality of tobacco. He has obtained
three cuttings during the season —
something that cannot be done any
where in the State outside of this val
ley. He planted Cuban, Connecticut
and Virginia seed, all of which grew
finely and yielded well. The Cuba to
bacco, Mr. Perkins thinks, will work
into a cigar which our fastidious smok
ers will not be able to tell from the
best ''imported"—from Jackson
street. This tobacco would not sell
to the San Francisco manufactories.
They are prejudiced against it; their
customers want the imported article
which means Connecticut filling and
Virginia wrappers. We are glad to hear
that Mr. Perkins and his associates
do not propose to abide the whim or
prejudice of the San Fraucisco manu
facturers. We understand they are
taking steps for establishing a factory
at Downey in which they will turn
their product into tobacco prepared for
smoking and chewing and cigars and
place the stock on the market. This
is a wise step. We know tobacco will
grow well in this valley, and we have
every reason for believing that if care
fully cured and properly manufactur
ed, it will compare favorably with
that now imported from the other sido
of the continent.
Learning Printing.
An honestokl granger,named Scot 1, living
in Iliis county, Laving read Benjamin Frank
lin's romantic adventures with the two loiives
of bread, and Horace Greeley's almanac from
his youth up, sent his hopeful son Into Los
Angeles recently to learn tbe printing busi
ness. The boy was tricked out iv all his new
clothes and was followed by the prayers of
the trusting old man, who in tbe dim future
saw his son the wlelder ofthe scissors in a
Los Angeles paper, aud the writer of a vil
lainous chirography like Horace Greeley's,
but his fondest hopes were disappointed.
Alas, the printing offices were all full nnd Ihe
future Benjamin Franklin responded to the
seductive allurementof live dollars a week iv
a ten pin alley, where he graduated in two
weeks as an experienced pin setter. At the
end of tbattime the prodigal yearned for a
sight of the old homestead ami was lain to
till himself with the husks that therwinediu
eat. So he returned to the clussle ureclnets
of Gospel Swamp, with the knees of his pants
worn out, a black eye where he caught a ten
fiin ball on the fly, a lame leg caused by a col
ision with a flying pin, and various other
damages received in that lively ten pin alley.
The old man saw him from afar oil' aud rush
ed to meet him, the fatted calf was killed and
this unfortunate victim of the printing busi
ness was welcomed as from the dead. Not a
word escaped him on the ten pin business
and that honest old farmer has put down ;..!.!
Franklin as a fraud, Horace Greeley us a po
litical scoundrel nnd thevriuting business as
a delusion and a snare. The story of Benja
min Franklin starting on two buns in Phila
delphia he say.s Is a newspaper lie and, as to
old Horace Greeley, he ought to have been in
a lunatic asylum all his life. The boy keeps
his own secret and the old man still growls
about tbe dungers of a printing office.
