CLUB HOUSE GIN.
TO THE PUBLIC.

HNH S CELEBRATED GIN-pretending tc
Il nothing but what it is, viz pure and un-
| adulterated article, and assuming no artificial
merits OF what it is not as some of its rival imi-
tators do-after five years of public approval
and very extensive sales in California has been
pronounced by the public to be superior, not on
ly as beverage of general use, to any other ar
ticle competing against it, bnt is
UnrivaIled in its Medical Efficiency
in most cases of complaint To persons travel
ing in these days of rapid transit from East to
West, North to South, who are constantly chang
ing their water as well as their climate: who are
drinking, indeed, a dozen kinds of water in ev-
cry twenty-four hours, and each draft contain
ing some property acting in chemical antagonism
to the preceding one, thereby causing an unnat-
ural degree of excitement to the stomach-it is
positively and absolutely necessary to use a
counteracting agent. From the fact that the
"London Club House Ginv
is prepared expressly to meet such exigences,
and to act as we know it will act, as an anti
dote, we confidently prescribe it as the very best
article in the country. The name of " Aromatic
Scheidam Schnapps' has never been attached
in any way TO this article. In first presenting
the
"LOndOn Club House Gino
to the public, my aim was to give them pure
and unadulterated article of Gin, and to call it
by its right name. The success attending its
introduction and extensive sale in California is
a sufficient guarantee of the high appreciation
of the article by consumers.
Various parties have from time to time put up
and shipped TO California an article which they
call "Club House Gin" My Gin, which has
gained such a reputation in California, is brand
ed on the cases,
"Old London Club House cGin--Wm.H.D..
The bottles also have white label with fac
smile of my signature. ] caution all parties to
beware of limitations. WM II. DAILY,

To LET.-Less than one-sxth of the inhabi-
tants of this city live in houses of their own.-
A large number of families derive their support
from the furnishing and sub-letting of rooms in
buildings, for which entire the second landlords
pay Wholesale price. The most profitable bu-
siness, Of common kind, which is carried on
amongst US is this Foom-renting, which is ren-
crafty connected with a six, eight, or ten dollar
boarding establishment. The most genteel fam
lies seek the profits to be derived from the lu-
crative lodging and feeding trade, and the poor
est hovel can sport as big meaning letters for
sign of food and shelter as the finest hotel with
in the limits of the metropolis.-S. f. Telegram

A WORD TO YOUNG Men Wishing and sigh
ing imagining and dreaming of greatness, said
William Writ, will not make you great But
cannot young command his energies ?
Read Foster on decision of character That
book will tell you what is in your power to ac-
complish. You must grid up your loins and go
to work with all the indomitable energy of Ma
poleon scaling the Alps. 1t is your duty to make
the most of time, talents and opportunities
Alfred, King of England, though he performed
more business than any of his subjects, always
found time to study. Franklin, in the midst of
his labors, had time to dive into the depths of
philosophy, and to explore the untrodden path
of science. Frederick the Great, with an empire
at his direction, in the midst of war and on the
eve of battle, found time to revel in the charms
of philosophy, and feast on the luxuries of sci
ence. Napoleon, with Europe at his disposal,
with kings in his ante chamber, and at the head
of thousands of men, whose destinies were sus-
pended on his arbitrary pleasure, found time to
converse with books And young men, who are
confined to labor or business even twelve hours
a day, may take an hour and half of what is
left, for study, and which will amount to two
months in the course of a year.

DESPERATE LEAp.-The following adventure
beats all the accounts of the hair-hreadth es-
capes of the highwaymen of the old world that
we tread Of" 1t seems hardly credible, yet it
comes from good authority
Shipe, the desperado, whose attack on Bos-
ton Jack we noticed last week, made his escape
from the Sheriif's posse by throwing himself
over precipice somewhere from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty feet deep, and crossing the
river in the only boat in the vicinity. The ledge
of rocks over which he jumped was so nearly
perpendicular as to prevent any one less despe-
rate than himself making the attempt to follow
him. During his descent, and whilst crossing
the river, some twenty or twenty-five shots were
fired at him, unfortunately without effect. 1t is
hoped that he will seek other quarters for his
future residence.-Plumas Argus.

A STRIKING CONFIRMATION OF SCRIPTURE.-One
of the most interesting of the monuments of an
cient Rome is the triumphal arch erected to
commemorate the conquest of Jerusalem by IL
tus, who, after the destruction of the temple,
made triumphal march to Rome, bringing with
him a long train of captive Jews and the spoils
among which were the sacred vessels of the
temple. This procession is represented in the
beautiful arch, which thus furnishes an illustra-
ton of the Bible nowhere else to be found, these
being the only representatives that exist of the
sacred vessels, the table of the shew bread, the
golden candlestick with its seven branches, and
the silver trumpets used by the priests to pro-
claim the year of Jubilee. The Roman Senate
and people little thought, when erecting this
monument to a deiied Emperor, that they were
erecting monument to the true God in the YER
ihcation of prophecy and divine history. Not
one Of the Jews of Rome-of whom there are
about six thousand-will even to this day pass
under the arch of Titus, although it spans one
OF the thoroughfares OF the city; they shun it as
memorial of subjugation of their nation,
which has never yet been retrieved, and regard
it with averSion.-N. \. Observer

THOSE Lousy CATTLE.-It was a great mistake
that you ever suffered them to get lousy. An
ounce of preventive is worth pound of cure in
this case as in many others. But you in for
it, and the animals are inhabited. What is to
be done Serve them as the hens serve them
selves when they have chance. They insist
upon dust, vigorously applied and shaken in be-
tween each individual feather. Watch them
carefully and you will find old and young busy,
on the sunny side of dirt bank, fighting lice
with dirt. Apply this vermifuge with like per-
sistence to the backs of your afflicted animals,
ard we will warrant cure. Scotch snuff is
indeed good, and so is tobacco water but dirt is
much cheaper, and we are 10th to prescribe to-
bacco, the vile weed, where any substitute can
be found. Try it-N T. Tines.

THE RICHES OF THE PooR-Is he dead?

and then with a shudder looked from the scaf.
fold to the ground expecting to see laborel
who had fallen from his post Alas there wa;
no man, cold and dead, but a lite -clild, poorly
clad, and of obscure birth. He had seen some
four summers, and with childish daring had
climbed the scaffod to see "papa" build the
| house. His little face was set; and the fearful
pallor of death was spread over the small fea
lures. BY his side, as he lay on the cold stones
knelt rough man, down whose sun burnt
cheeks the tears poured as he moaned:
"0h, Lorneyl Lorney Who'll tell your
nanny, mavourneenW
No need to tell her-such sore news travels
fast. Even while we stood there, she came
through the crowd, her arms covered with soap
suds, her cheeks pallid, her eyes wild with that
awful news. Her first cry was-'' Oh, Jimmy
how can you let him lie on the cold ground p
and she caught the poor little body to her
mothers heart. Then the tears came and, seated
on the stones, to and fro with her sad burden
casped close to her breast; moaning and wall
ing for her only child, she rocked
Kind friends gathered around. Rough faces
softened, and hard voices sounded sweet with
words of sympathy. One comforter whispered
''He's better off now, honey. You are very
poor, you know"

her voice as she said:

Life In Paris.

The Paris correspondent Of the New Orleans
Pscayane has something to say about an unfor-
.unate girl who, two years ago, was the dame
aur edneltfas most in vogue. She had the finest
apartments in town and the finest turnout to be
found in the Avenue des Champs Elysees. At
the first performance of new pieces you were
sure to see her in one of the best boxes, and
her beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair, and
grace and freshness, and look ofpurity, attracted
all opera-glasses; while those who frequented
her drawing room said she had the manners of
a-duchess and the conversation of an academist.
All at once Carmen disappeared; she sank be-
low the horizon unexpectedly and suddenly, as
one of those stars you may observe on sum
mers night, shooting athwart the sky. Carmen
| had fallen in love, and was living on the edge
of the forest of Compeigne, with the Viscount
| de. She became the mother of a charming
daughter six weeks ago. The eternal history of
amours was the history of this one; the silken
chain became the chain of lead; the Visceunt
became tired of his pretty bird; besides, his
family wanted him to marry, and while Carmen
might be his mistress, she could not be his wife
He confessed all to his mother, and asked her
advice.
Write her letter and break off the con-
necton. Do the thing well, my dear son; let
the letter be tender and respectful but firm, and
enclose in it a hundred bank notes ofa thousand
francs each; here are fifty, which give you for
that purpose"
He wrote a letter such as his mother indicated
placed the bank notes in it and sent it to her.
The next morning he received Boule writing
desk, which he had given Carmen soon after
they became acquainted. He opened it and
found the hundred thousand francs he had sent
her, and lock of Garments hair, and a sheet of
paper containing one single line, which in
these words:
"Adieu recommend our daughter to you.'
painful presentiment took possession of his
mind He FASTENED to her residence. He reached
| there too late. He found Carmen a corpse. She
had sulfocated herself with charcoal. Poor
