CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
Since the Introduction of my Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps into the United States, number of Liquor
Mixers in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and San
Francisco, have been engaged in putting up mixed and
poisonous Gin in and jugs be palmed off upon
the unwary for my genuine Schnapps. AT first, they
boldly coarseFfeited ny name but stopped that
by causing several of them to be arrested They now
confne themselves to closely initiating the appearance
and shape of my bottles and the peculiar wrapper
which have always used. viz: YELLOW PAPER,
printed with RED and BLUE INK, PASTEBoARD
PRINTED CAPS.
Beacare cfthese Imitation, Bogus Schnapps.
IF the liquor were fit TO drink. there would be no
Iced to palm them of by counterfeting the peculiar
style and appearance of the GENUINE WOLFES
SCHNAPPS- Avoid these mixed and doctored-up mi-
tations, yon would avoid Shattered Nerres Ruined
Stomach and Dtffyipm Tremens. The Pure ana germ
inc Schnapps have my the bottle, cork, and
fac-simile of signature the label For sale by all
the Wholesale Druggists and respectable qior dealers
in tile United States.

HNTs.-If you wish to keep your town
from thriving, refuse to take your home pa
per; turn cold shoulder to every young
mechanic or beginner in business; look up
on every new conner with jealous scowl,
or as suspicious person; discourage all you
can; if that won't do, cry them down; or
rather, go abroad for your wares than pay
your money at home; and above all, don't
advertise, for if you do, the town will grow
IN spite of all the efforts that may be made
TO prevail against it.

STEAM WAGoN.-A steam wagon
has been constructed at the Vulcan
Foundry, San Francisco, which is said
to work admirably. Its steering appa-
ratus is something after the model Of a
ships wheel, with this difference, the
rudder being wheel in front of the
wagon. The critter is intended to convey
lumber from the mills at or near Timber
Cove to the place of shipment.

School Kiss.

ssWho gave that kiss" the teacher cried:
1'Twas Harry Hail. John Jones replied.
aCome here TO me'' old Switchem said,
And solemnly he shook his head;
s'What evil genius prompted You
So rude a thing in school TO do."
Said Harry, II can hardly say
Just how it happened. ANY way,
To doa sum she whispered me;
And round my face her cHiis, yon see
That is her ek-and-r-and-I-
Just kissed her, but don't know why!'

POPULATION OF TIE WoRLD.-The
population of the globe has been gener-
ally estimated at seven hundred millions
of human beings. Recently the estimate
has been increased to one thousand mil
lions. The latestsurvey, and, probably,
the most accurate, is that made by Herr
Dietrich, Director of the Statistical Bu-
reau of Berlin He computes the entire
population of the globe at twelve hun
dred and sixty-eight millions. He as
signs to Australia two millions, to Am
erica ffty-nine millions, to Africa two
hundred millions, Europe two hundred
seventy-two millions, and to Asia seven
hundred and fifty millions.

SALMON BERRIES. The North Cal
ifornian, of Humboldt county, states
that there is no wild fruit superior to
the salmon berry. A bush laden with
this golden fruit is beautiful; the large
and delicious globes amid the luxuriant
foliage of the parent stock, tempt the
hand to gather, and the lips to taste
their excellence. It is strange that
more attention is not paid to the cult
vation and improvement of this plant.
AS far as experiment has been made the
result has been satisfactory.

justify the conclusion that these silent ruins could once
