NEWPORT, July 29 1870.
One misses as he trudges along the dusty road
from the hotel to the beach at Newport the few
steps across grassy lawn that leads him to Old
Ocean at Long Branch. He remembers, if quar-
tered at the best stopping place, the gay assem-
blages on the portico when dinner was past and
the scenes on the beach when the moon lights up
the waves. Yet the idlor of summer days at this
ancient city, with its queer and gabled dwellings
and mysterious old stone tower, can enjoy the
hours. For the beach, though, far away, has
not the treacherous undcrtow of Long Branch
and the brave swimmer may go out into the white
crests nor look behind to see ii hc has past rope

Self-Operating
Clothes asher and Boiler !
PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
The Best Labor-Saving Clothes Cleaner
ever invented.
Thomas Greene, sole Proprietor of the
Patent Right for the Pacific Coast.

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt that this process not only cleans the Clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such surpostion has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing.
Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be seen to be fully appre-
ciaed, as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in an ordinary advertisement
Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus for the last six months, and more than a
million of people have witnessed its success. Ten
thousand boilers sold in New York City in less
than five onths, from one stand, and at this time
the orders reach about hundred day. Ne
ever used it directed that did not recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by than FIVE
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the names those of the most distinguished cit
izens of the United States but the best recommen-
dation is to take the boiler and use it yourself Do
just as you are directed and you will be more than
satisfied 1t appeals to us all a matter of econ
omy, and can be shown 70 be the best kind of an
investment. 1t will return yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. on the
money invested. For instance, we will suppose
yonr white clothing such as bed and table linen
ladies and geuticmens wear, and childrens cloth
ing, only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
long washed in this way by the old method.
Thus. you actually save 500 year by investing 10
II 200 per annually. There is no family
scarcely but spends than here stated but this
is aiken a very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to this is the great con-
venience and comfort of the thing which, all taken
together. makes it luxury which no family can
well afford to he without.
This Boiler sells the best Of any article ever offer

will not let it so out of of the house.

The relations between the President and
Gen sral Rawins were, as he country well
Knows, of the most intimate, friendly and
affeciionate character. General Grant was
always ready to render him any assistance
needed-as due from one friend to another.
The means of General Rawlins were not Of
the most ample character, and General Grant
was enabled, and was glad of the opportuni
ty. to assist an old comrade in making ar
rangements which would promote the com
fort of himself and family. In this way one
or two sums OF money passed between them,
aud, at the death Of General Rawlns, all of
his obligations were destroyed by the Presi.

family of General Rawllns was proposed, the
President contributed $500 toward it,
Wniie It was i'll process OF subscription and
