to the preceding one thereby causing an unnat-

positively and absolutely necessary to use a

and to act as we know it will act, as an anti

call "Club House Gin" My Gin, which has

Col. Hoffman's command to be more agricultu-
raj in their pursuits, than other tribes in south
eastern California. They raise corn and wheat,
beans, melons, pumpkins and grapes. This,
however, is forced upon them, as there is no
game in their country. They obliged to
plant, in order to obtain food. Having no chief

TO PURCHASERS OF
EUREKA WHISKEY

TT HAS COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF
l. the undersigned, that various parties are
putting up whiskey, in imitation packages, made
in San Francisco, and branding it "EUREKA

than the Agents price for the genuine article.
We have also ascertained that empty packages
with our names on them are frequently refilled
with common article, and sold for the genuine.
There are houses who sell the genuine

and whose representations can be relied on. OF
such it is safe to purchase.
The fact of SO many parties trying to initiate
this article is the surest guarantee that it is the
best Whisky offered for sale on the Pacific coast.
The genuine

Is imported in Barrels and Half Barrels. and
ages are branded on one head, =" EUREKA

Bless me, Mrs. Brown, | would not stop him for

cigar, and leaves me for a good hour to myself

of blowing up. After he has smoked, can
assure you the poor creature is quite mild, and
sometimes he will come up, and actually beg my
pardon! The fuming should have got is be-
slowed elsewhere. l look upon cigar as the
very best friend woman has, and I'm positive
zoo, that it's the saving of an immensity of
swearing After all, yolley of smoke isn't half
so offensive as a volley of oaths Good gracious

said and done, my dear, smoke, take my word
for it, is very fine thing. 1t cures many bad

will eleut Seward easily. unless the Southern Up.
position extend their combination Moth. and run
n ticket with W. c. Rives. or some other equally
good conservative man in the Northern SIatas.-
That policy would defeat the Republican Presiden-
tiai candidate. and il the Opposition" candidate
was not elected. hs would Mt least prevent the cleo,
ton oil Seward, and give it to tho Democratic can
didate. But should II, such course lie pursued.
and only two candidates be run for the Presidency.
viz: u Republican, and II Democrat, then I sny W.
II. Seward will be the candidate of the %licpulli-
cans, and IA mirnsle only can prevent his election,
by the people in 1860!
There in no use of cuncealing prospects ahead or
tho political chances of both parties in The Presi-
dental election in 1850. The Charleston Cuny,n-
ton may nominate anybody they please; t!r
