A Day TowN.-For several days the re-
servoir Of the Gold Mount Water Works,
through which this place is supplied withwa-
ter has been completely dry. The complaints
of the people are general at the inconver-
fence produced. Women who succeeded in
getting clothes washed were out of water be-
fore they could rinse their washing, OF course
they had their say about the Water Compa-
ny. The Company are at work trying to get
water on their wheel and will undoubtedly
be able TO get a supply into the reservoir
within a day or so. In the meantime our
citizens will have to rely upon the wells of
the town for drinking water, for other purpo-
SEQ they must wait until the Water Works
can furnish them. They must not be too
impatient it will shortly rain when they will
have an ample supply.

EDITOR UNION DENocRAT A notice ap-
pears in your last issue that proposals will be
received by the Board of Supervisors, on
Monday next, for the burial of the dead from
the County Hospital and Jail. Now, sir, al
low me to call your attention and that of
your patrons to the necessity Of some means
being taken to bury the dead from our Cour-
ty Hospital in some way less repugnant to
the feelings of our citizens. Is it humane to
haul away the dead and consign them to
their last resting place in the same manner
that load Of refuse is carted away from our
premises ? | would suggest that our Hon.
Supervisors make some arrangements with
Mr.. D. Mclean, who, am sure is public
spirited enough to allow the use of his hearse
as occasions may require, for small cou'-
,pensatipn. TIE average of burials from the
County Hospital during the past 10 years
has been seven in twelve months. By insert
ing the above in your next issue, will. am
sure, meet the earnest desire Of our citizens,
and call forth hearty response from the
Hon. Supervisors of Tuolumne county.

hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

A SERMON.
Men may bow In adulatior,
To the man who wears a crown;
Let us .esk higher station
Than the heights Of earth'G reno~n.
Some upon the field Of battle
Carve out Distinguished name
Some are born to lofty title,
Others stumble into fame.
Heroes are not ali created
From the dust OF wealth or strife;
Some unworthy ones are rated
whe don't live noble life.
Eave your dearest hopes been wasted :
Have you seen the loved ones fall 7
Thus each cup OF bliss, when tasted
Seemed like wormwood mixed with gall.
Yet, II bearing with submission,
All these ills which life doth give,
Msrnuring not at your condition,
You, a noble, hero live
Though your youthful dreams have vanished.
Leaving FOa bilsuteu h'aNB
Let repinings all be banishcd.
Calmly bear Of life your part.
This will ease your load Of sorrow,
II you keep patient mind
Trusting that when comes the morrow,
Your reward will surely End.
Carry this for consolation,
You who grumble at your woes;
He Is hrst in heavens station
Who was lowest here below.
He is greater human,
Who can his own spirit tame,
Than the greatest man OF woman,
Who has reached the heights Of fame.
Then resume your selfish burden.
Tramp along the pale Of years;
For there is a certain guerdon
Ger beyond this vale OF tears.
<nd let men in sdulation,
Bow 70 him who wears n crown;
We will seek higher station
Than the heights Of esrth's renown.

The following life picture of Parson

Enquirer:
'One of the saddest spectacleS Dre-

which holds the last of fte saortal
remains of poor Parson Brownlow, of
Tennessee. 1t sits just at the left of the

There they bring every day the with.
cred remnant of the Apostle of Hate
and over that chair there seems to hoy
er at all hours, the black Angel of
Death. Sallow and emaciated tren-
bling with palsy in every limb, he sits
and watches the proceedings around
him with what seems a fearful inter
est, and only the little light which
burns dimly in his once vicious eve is
left to tell you of the fierce spirit which
i'm times past, inhabited that never
very prepossessing frame. His right
arm lies by his side, and the thumb Of
it twitches and vibrates, with the reg
ularity of heart beat"

FIVE NIILLARDS OF FRANCS.

The indemnity to be paid to Germany
by France is said to be five milliards
of francs, and as this sum exceeds the
ordinary transactions of life so greatly
as to be unintelligible, a German
scholar has founded some calculations
upon it for the edificatiOn of his cOun-
trymen. We give it for what it is
worth. The weight of five milliaTds
of francs, in gold twenty franc pieces,
is 3,54S, $50 pounds, and it would re-
uuire a train of 322 avera9 G freight
cars to transport it. The same sum in
silver five franc pieces would weigh
81, 900, 900 pounds. a practised teller
can count out 1000 francs an hour in
five franc pieces; assuming that he
were to begin his counting at % years
of age, and to work steadily eight
hours for 800 days in the year, he
would not complete his task until he
had passed his 77th birthday. If laid
down in one franc pieces, so as to touch
each other. the line would extend H.
46l miles, nearly one third of the dis
tance from The earth 10 the moon. In
gold twenty frame pieces, The line
would be 3, ,2j2 miles 10 Z. Finally, II
we call to mind that since The birth OF
Christ not one milliard of minutes has
passed away, we can understand that,
II for every minute, day and night,
since the commencement Of the Chri' :
tian era, fine frame piece had bean
laid aside, we should not vet have eX-
tinguished the debt OF France. "-Sct-

Dor less labor is wanted everything
