A friend said to me the other day: Tsup-
pose Sheriff Perry, by his prompt and vigorous
enforcement of the law, has saved to the c;,v
as much as $4,000 month that otberw;s.
would have been wasted at the grog sbons owl
entirely lost; the city being SO mpcb 60
n'un'n oy month"; while now the city is so much
a, ienei' month by month" Yes, said I, but the
sum 81 Is great deal larger than $4,000 month.
Larger said he, "why thought that was
al, ek'ravagant estimate, when 1 heard it stat
eo' now much larger do you suppose it to be?"
DO not know precisely; but it is not difficult
TO form an estimate that will show the amopnt
to be great deal larger than you suppose.

BUSINESS NOTICES.

KEEP THE HAIR UNBLEMIsHED-'T am like
an old hemlock-withered at the top said
venerable Indian Chief, pointing to his thin
and bleaching locks. Thousands of men and
women in civilized society, much younger than
the old Sycamore, are like him, "withered at
the top" simply because they have neglected
to use the means of preserving and beautifying
the hair which science had placed at their dis
posal. IfLYoN's KATHARIoN be faithfully ap-
piled once or twice day, to the fibres and the
scalp, it is just as impossible that the hair
should decay, wither, fall out and become
harsh and fuzzy, as that meadow, duly re-
freshed with nightly dews and sunlit rains,
should become arid and barren of green blades.
This matchless preparation not only keeps the
hair alive and the skin of the head in a healthy
and clean condition, but actually multiplies
the fiaments and imparts to them lustre,
flexible and wavy beauty unattainable by any
other mode of treatment 1t does not, like the
metallic and sulphurous hair dyes, dry up the
natural moisture of the scalp, but supplies nu-
triment to the roots of the hair and vigor to the
fibres. Observation-Disclosures
EDITORIAL NOTICES are common that it Is
almost impossible for an editor to express his
honest opinion of the merits of any article
without being suspected of interested motives
This fact, however, shall not deter us from
saying what we think of new addition to the
Materia Msdca to. which our attention has
been recently directed We refer to DR. j.
WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs, q
remedy which is making its way into more
families just now than all the other advertised
medicines put together. There seems to be no
question about the potency of its tonic and al
terative properties, while it possesses the great
negative recommendation of containing neither
alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is spe-
cific for Indigestion, Billousness, Constipation
and many complaints of nervous origin, we
have reason to know; and we are assured on
good authority that as a general invigorant
regulating and purifying medicine, it has no
equal 1t is stated that its ingredients fob
tanned from the wilds of California are new
to the medical world; and its extraordinary eff
fects certainly warrant the conclusion that it is
a compound of agents hitherto unknown. If
popularity is any criterion there can be no doubt
of the efficiency of the VINEGAR BITTERs, for
the saleof the article is immense and continu-
ally increasing. apr14wt

The kind of amusements with which the
inhabitants of Virginia City, Nevada, are
wont to beguile their leisure hours can hard
ly be considered of an elevating character.
But a short time ago they had grand bull
and bear tournament, and now their "opera
house" has been the scene of contest be-
tween cats and dogs. At first the cats had
things their own way, but the dogs picked up
courage and managed to carry off the palm of
victory. The struggle must have been des-
perate one, since we read that the contes-
tants ''fought so rapidly that it reminded one
of bunch of fire-crackers exploding and
whirling about" When people find "sport"
in such scenes, no wonder that they pick
their teeth with bowie-knives and shoot one
another just to make their cemeteries look
respectable.

A dignified rebuke was given (the Liver
pool Mercury says) by Mr.. Justice Mellor,
lately, to remnant of the intolerance which
existed in former days, and which, unhappily,
is still to be found among certain classes. 1t
occurred during a case that a Christian had
spoken Extensively to rival tradesman of the
Hebrew faith. The learned judge said it was
no reproach to be Jew. A Jew had line
age to be proud of, and if Christians had read
the works of a very eminent statesman, as he
1.-THE iudge) had done, they would find that
the jews had, of all persons in the world, in
fluenced the destinies of mankind.

Land are required to be devoted by
the Trustees Of the bOndhOlders as
a Sinking Fund to the purchase
and cancellation of the first mort
gage bonds, or temporarily to the
payment of interest thereon, ifnec-
essary. This provision will make
the Railroad Company itseIfa con-

A touching story of faithful love comes
from Philadelphia. A beautiful young girl
became engaged in 1861 to gallant officer in
the Union army. At the close of the war he
went to California to seek his fortune. She
waited patiently for his return, feeling conf
dent that he would yet come back to her. So
the years passed: gray hairs began to show
themselves in her brown tresses, her friends
no longer ridiculed her, but pitied her as
monomaniac. Last week her fidelity was re-
warded. The lover of her girlhood returned
from California, bronzed and bearded, mil
lionaire with a wife and twins.
