will just say to my patrons for their
especial benefit, some of whom have been
frequently decoyed by the near limitations
of tables, chairs &c, Gas well as my system
of tckets,) by house in close proximity
to the Fountain Head, (and been so often
taken in } that with a little more attention
they can avoid the like occurrence for the
future, by just noticing the numbers on
the candy windows, Al, 40, and 7Sand 80,
on the doors.
The FOUNTAIN HEAD was first estab-
,ished on Jackson street, and destroyed
by fire in September 1850, reopened IN
Clay street, the same month, then again
consumed 10y the same devastating ele-
ment on the memorable 4th of May, 1851 !,
and was again opened where 1t now
stands, in June 70 lowing, and was the first
pubic refreshment saloon ever started
upon the coast of the Pacific, without in
toxicating liquors, not even glass OF beer
has ever been sold upon the premises,
neither sha | be. My friends advised me
to introduce the sale of liquors into my
business, as they thought it would add
much to my profits; my reply was, have
h nds to labor and produce what will Sus
tain life, but not to deal ont that which
wi destroy it. The Fountain Head, as
usual, is open from 6o'clock in the morn
ing, ill 12 o'c eek at night; so that gen.
temen who are unable to obtain seats at
regular meal hours, may refreshments
between times, when the crowd is not so
great. dec 4tf M. l.. WINN.

u. Many, Jr., sole Agent for
Heiisieck IL Co., iEh California.
Dur ng the last two years that have been
acting as gent for the sale of the tieidsiecb
Co S Champagne, frequent enqu ries have
been made of me whence it arose, that there
existed two brands of this we'll known wine.
To explain this matte satisfactorily, beg
to call the attention of the public to the oil
lowing facts:
The original manufacturer Of the ce ebrateC
}eidsieck Champagne, died in 1898, and after
his death his business wa continue by his
two nephews, one Of whom continued to re-
side on the same spot and to cultivate the
same vineyards, while the other established
himself some distance from the original place
each carrying on an entirely distinct business
the former under his uncle's firm, "tedsiecb
4 Co >" the latter under the name of Gle
seck''
Mr.. Christian Held eck the nephew who
had removed from the place where his uncle
had originally established himself died in
1885, and his widow married Mr.. Piper,
who now continues to manufacture q wine
which he styles 'Heidsieck,'' being only the
successor of Mr. Christian Heidsieck which
in reality is not continuation of the old and
origna firm, and cannot therefore be con-
sidered as the genuine brand.
The above statement clearly explains the
discrepancy which has hitherto existed, and
no one will dispute the right of the nephew
who INFERRED vineyards and continued on the
same spot where MIR. fleidsieck first establish
ed himself to manufacture the wine for which
he became so Justly celebrated-to be looked
upon rs the sole producer of the Heidseck
champagne, and it is for the sale Of this wine
that the undersigned is sole agent
have just received by th~ French ship Ju-
les Cesar. 800 baskets "H Heidseck and Co -
Champagne Messrs tIeidsieck and 0, have
given me their most positive assurance that
this wine is of the best quality and possesses
a most agreeable flavor, IN fact, highly supe-
rior to any ever imported into ralifornia.
This lot of champagne, and those which will
tullo by the French ship Noise Sacramento,
etc, now on their way from tInvre, will prove
to be such that will give entire and general
satisfaction to all those who know how to ap
preciate n good article Truly, these lots
cannot but tend TO increase still more the
world renowned fame enjoyed by my honor
able friends, Messrs Hedsieck and Co, and |
feel perfectly convinced also the patronage
hitherto so literally and justly shown to Held
sleek and Co g champagne.
TO avoid, for the future, the importation into
this market of a spurious article, Messrs Held
sleek and Co, will stamp their name in full
upon the cap, and on the cork inside of each
bottle, the only alteration in the labels being
the addition of my name as their sole agent
in California. All champagne market Heid

A number of years ago brace of very

remember rightly, were the special OBJ.
jects Of their Indignation. The worthy
bibliopole was at first taken aback by the
vivacity of their assault; but put in rs a
pleain mitigation, that the greater por'
lion of his publications were unexcep'
tionable to even the severest criticism
on the score of moral character.
The ladies looked obviously over their
spectacles. "Have you read this-or this,
or this!" lie asked, pointing out the IL
ties of works in Theology, and History,
and Biography, and Poetry, and every
department of Literature which -graced
his extensive catalogue. Not one OF
them had the committee perused. Then,
perhaps limited the publisher, you are
not certain as to the character of the
works you object to; perhaps you have

Indian Marriage Promise.

A young Indian failed in his inten.
tions to young squaw. She made
complaint to an old chief, who appointed
hearing or trial.. The lady laid the
cause before the Judge, and explained
the nature of the promise made 20 her.
II consisted of sundry visits to her wig
wan, many little undefnable attentions,
and presents, bunch of feathers, and
several yards of red flannel. This was
the charge. The faishless swain denied
The .undefnable attentions in toto. He
had visited her fathers wigwam for the
purpose Of passing away time, when il
was not convenient TO hunt; and had Civ.
en- the feathers and flannel from friendly
motives, and nothing further. During
the latter part of the defence the squaw
tainted. The plea was considered inval.
i'd, and the offender sentenced to give
the lady yellow feather. brooch tina
was then dangling from his nose. and
a dozen coon skins.
The sentence was no sooner conclu
ded. than the squaw sprang upon hel
feet, and clapping her hands exclaimed
with JOY, snow me ready to be courlet
again."

FROM THE GREEK OF PYTHAGoRUs

Let no soft slumber close mine eyes,
Ere have recollected thrice
The train of actions through the day.
Where have my feet marked out their way?
What have learnt where'er I've been.
From all I've heard, from all I've seen?
What know more that's worth the know
What have done that's worth doing? ling?
What have sought that should shun?
What duties have ! left undone?
Or into what new follies run?
These self-inquiries are the road
That leads to virtue and to God?
