Their line will extend from Sacramento, Cal
ifornia, across the Sierra Nevadas to the Cali
forna State line, traversing the richest and
most pOpuiOus section Of California
and thence through the great mining re-

Fourth. The United states Government pro-
vides nearly half the amount necessary TO

FIFTH. Owing to this liberal provision, accompanied
with EXTENSIVE GRANTS OF PUBLIC
LANDS, by which the Government fosters this
great national enterprise, its success is render

altogether independent of the contingent

for safety and reliability is equalled only by that

THE CHINGARORA
ANTs-NERVOUS
TOBACCO.

The CHINGARORA TOBACCO ows from the
rich soil of the ORIENT" and is possessed OF Pc
culiary delicious fayoI entirely unknown to the to-
bacco of all other chimes. But its unprecedented
popularity has sprung from the fact OF the entire alb
sence Of that deadly poison Nicotn, which permeaes
every other tobacco, and which is the one and sole
cause of the distressing nervous diseases, dyspepsia
&c., which most invariably sooner or later, follow
the indu of the pipe AMI cigar At the recent
anayzation OF tobacco from all parts of the world
at the Academy Of Sciences, in Paris the renowned
Chemist, NJ. LAMoUREAUX, declared that while Eu-
ropean and American tobacco contained fully eight
per cent, and the purest Havana tobacco from two
to five per cent of Nicotin, the CHINGARoRA did
not contain one discoverable particle OF that deadly
poison, drop OF which, extracted, will destroy life.
Our Agent at BOMBAY has shipped us largequa
titles OF the CIIJNGARoRA during the past two
years, and although have been pressed to supply
the demand for this delicious luxury TO the veteran
smoker, yet prepared to offer 1t in unlm-
tied quantities, at a price mich lower than some
American tobacco OF a far inferior quality.
A conn0isseur has but to smoke the American to-
baceo and segus, which are invariably chemically
favored, to be disgusted with the medicinal taste
which leaves nauseous, unhealthy eoating in the
mouth, and In time seldom fails to shatter the
vous system.
The natives of the 'oRIENT' smoke the CHIN
GARoRA from morn till night, from youth to age,
and are happily unconscious of IN, Wild distressing
