sum of S73, 900, of which the Assembly ex-
pended 933 000 and the Senate SAC, ,000.-
These expenses are excusiveof per diem and
mileage. which amounted to 81 600, max
ing S94 600 in all for the ierm. During the
session the Legislature passed bills appro-
rriating nearly 81 100000 or. to be exact.

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
partment of labor To have supposed, year ago,
that the dirticst 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 a surpositon has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the ex-
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 to be fully appre-
ciated, 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 one hundred day. Ne
used it as directed that did NOT recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the those of the most distinguished cit
liens of the United States but the best rccommen-
dation is to take the boiler and use it yourself Do
just you directed aud you viii be more than
satisfied. 1t appeals to us all as matter of econ
omy, and can be shown to 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
your white clothing such as bed and table linen
ladies and geutieHsrs car, and childrens cloth
ing, only cost you $40 year They will last twice
long washed in this way as by the old method.
Thus, you actually save $50 year by investing 10
or 200 per cent. annually. There is family
scarcely but spends more than here stated but this
is taken very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to this is the great con
yenience and comfort of the thing which, all taken
together, makes it luxury which no family can
well afford to be without.
This Boiler sells the best of any article ever offer
ed to the public. Anybody after trying it fairly

AsToNIsHED RED MEN-A band OF
Indians made sudden attack on a party

soldiers had a mountain howitzer mounted
on mule. Not having time to take it off
and put it in position, they backed up the

was so heavy that the mule lost his balance,

Directions,

Fill the boiler with soft. water to within about
three inches Of the top of the inside biler. Slice
up pound bar of good hard soap.
Bring the water to boil, and then place the
clothes in the hot water The water will imine-
diately pour the shell all around, and if it
boils over raise the lid.
Keep up hat fire for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out ard Immediately SUBS them
through in soft water If any shade OF the dirt
remains. few rubs viii take it all out Then
rinse them in clean water, wiring dry. and the wash
ing is done. Give particular heed to the folowiag
SUGGESTIONS.
The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler. 1t is of vital importance to THOR
0UGHLY SUDS the clothing after boiling Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry will cause the clothes to look
yellow. A brisk fire is important in order to ro-
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling.
The cover should not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work. If the
washing be a large one, the clothes should be as
sorted, as dirty shirts, for instance, will require
double the time of sheets, pillow eases, napkins
&c.
Articles much soiled may be left in for second
boiling White fannels may be beautiful washed
without FULLING) by this process. They
should be put in when the water is hot, and rinsed
out in hot water.

absolute necessity of using soft. or "broken, .

This Selfwasbing Boiler nearly does it than
any other. device. Should shade streak remain,
it ill be found to be so reduced and softened as to
disappear without the use of wash-board, by
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
all the wear and tear of clothing by washing. 1t
has been carefully estimated that clothing receives
more than ONE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process of RUBBING, and consequently will last
twice as long if washed by this process, which
alone would pay for Boiler many times during

To some men it seems incomprehensible

Such men, having conception Of manly

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quaeks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some Of the self-styled doctors,
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some are tinsmiths, shoemakers,
newspaper carriers, intelligence office keepers, &c.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1853. The only way
to avoid imposition is 70 make nqury-it will cost
you nothing and may you many regrets for,
