THIS CELEBRATED GIN-pretending to no
i thing but what it is, viz: pure and unadul-
terated article, and assuming no artificial merits
of what it is not, as some of its rival imitators
do-after five years of pnblic approval and very
extensive sales in California, has been pronounc-
ed by the public to be superior, not only as a
beverage of general use, to any other article
competing against it, but is
Unrivalled in its Medical Efficiency

ing in these days of rapid transit from East to
West, North or South, who are constantly chang
ing their water as well as their climate; who are
drinking, indeed dozen kinds of water in every
twenty-four hours, and each draught containing
some property acting in chemical antagonism to
the preceding one, thereby causing an unusual
degree of excitement to the stomach-t is posi-
lively and absolutely necessary 10 use counter
acting agent. From the fact that the
"l London Club House Gin0
is prepared expressly to meet such exigencies,
and to act as we know it will act, as an antdote,
we confidently prescribe it as the very best article
in the country. The name of "Aromatic Schei-
dam Schnapps" has never been attached in any
way to this article. In first presenting the
s'LOmdOn Club House Gin0
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 intro
duction and extensive sale in California is suffi-
cient guarantee of the high appreciation of the
article by consumers.
Various parties have from thine to time put up
call "Ciu6 House Gin" My Gin which has
gained such reputation in California. is branded

THEORY OF THE PUMP.-Air though COM
paratively light is positively heavy, having
weight of its own. A square inch of it,
carried up from the surface of the earth to
the top of the atmosphere, is no less than
Is lbs. in weight. 1t is this weight of the
atmosphere, Is lbs, on every square inch,
that pushes water into the void left by the
updrawn piston of a pump; there is, of course
a limit beyond which it cannot push the
water-namely, the point of height at which
the column of water in the pump tube is ex-
acty balanced by the weight of the atmos-
phere. 1t is just question of balance: Is
lbs. can support only Is lbs.,-a thing
which everybody understands nowadays,

SLEEP OF ARCTIC PLANrs.-Mr. Seeman,
the naturalist of Kellet's Arctic expedition,
mentions a curious fact respecting the con-
diton OF the vegetable world during the long
day of the Arctic summer. Although the
sun never sets while it lasts, plants make no
mistake about the time, when, if it be not
night, it ought to be; but regularly as the
evening hours approach and when a mid
night sun is several degrees above the hor-
lion, droop their leaves and sleep even as
they do in more favored cimes.

The Coolie Question.

In another column will..be found the response
made by the working men of San Francisco to
their brethren throughout the State. Itispecu-
liarly appropriate that the miners of Middle
Greek should be the first to stretch forth their
stalwart arms in support of the hard-fsted
working men of San Francisco. 1t is true the
working men of the Metropolis of the Pacific,
las set forth in an article upon the first page of
this weeks paper, in type before we knew of
this Middle Greek meeting,) were almost crimi-
nally quiet when the miners of Shasta county
were fercely graphing with this giant evil
And it would not be strange if these miners,
now that the great curse is being felt by the
working men of the Bay city, were to laugh at
their fears and mock at their calamity But
earnest on this subject to think of the past con-
duct of men who they now find cooperating
with them in defense of their vital interests
The presence of the hordes of coolies in this
State, and their rapid increase, they recognize
as a curse whose magnitude is such as may
well elicit the fears of every well-wisher of the
State. Hence they are prompt to strike hands
with the hard fists of San Francisco working
men.
Over fifteen thousand names have been OBJ
tanned in San Francisco to the circular issue

Instead of being spoken of as "rebels," and their
gatherings stigmatized as "mobs," they are like
ly hereafter-when this Coolie question becomes
the great question of the day, as it will ere long
to be named in terms of eulogy for their pat
riotism and far-sightedness. The miners of
Shasta county, in their views touching the Coo
lie question, are right-eternally right Hereto
fore their efforts have been met with nought
save obloquy. Their motives have been i'm
pugned-their characters aspersed, and their
lives threatened by the strong arm of power
But truth is mighty and will prevail the eter-
nal years of God are hers" The miners of Shas-
ia county will yet be vindicated by the voice of
the entire people of the State. To every miner
whom these words may reach we say, Be of
good cheer-halt not-doubt not. But remem-

KILLING OxEY.-The recent cold rains have
been productive of some harm as well as incal-
cuable good. We are informed that quite a
number of cattle have died from the effects
thereof Mr.. Houtoon was so unfortunate as to
lose some eight or ten very fine work oxen. 1t
is remarkable that many well-fed and well con-
ditioned cattle have died from the effects of this
sudden change in the weather. If exposed one
or two nights in the rain, the cold seems to
penetrate to and freeze ap the spring of life
within them, Persons should therefore, if pos
sible, place their cattle beneath cover in the

rains of this season. Of the year. Ample food
will not alone suffice. They must be protected
