4 s THE CHARMING CHARAC-
"A ter of South ern California, and more
especially that most favored section called
Santa Barbara, becomes known TO the world,
10 Ia not surprising that a widespread and
growing interest in this region should be
awakened. 1t is the constant aim of the Press
10 furnish perfectly reliable information on al
points OF interest to tourists, invalids and
home-seekers, which we are now able to do
with greatly increased facilities.
While the PRESS seeks to promote the
prosperity of all Southern California by all le-
Ultimate and honorable methods, ii is more
directly interested in the growth and coming
greatness OF Santa Barbara. The unequaled
loveliness of the climate, its almost incredible
healthfulness, the beauty of the scenery, tn
wondrous variety and fertility OF the soil, tn
almost unlimited range of products whic
flourish there without irrigation, will b
known from time to time by facts which cam
not be controversial in the columns of the
PRESS. Any intelligent person can become
familiar with this part of the State by reading

Simply Barbarous.

A New York correspondent Of The
Chambersburg Repository gives this &C.
count Of how courageous youpg ladies ia

Two women, at least, have secured
their rights, and have now all the priv
ileges that men enjoy. Two very pretty
young girls, aged respectively Is and
20, had . papa who was rich and who
lived in grand style on Fifth aveue. Papa
got into the hands Of the Philistines
last autumn, and busted. The girls were
genuine girls, notwithstanding the fact
that they had boon fashionably educated,
and they felt their poor fathers ditress
keenly, The old gentIemsn's trouble 20
weighed upon his mind that he sickened
and took to his bed, aud got into bad
way generally. The house in which he
lived was fortunately in his wifss

and shaved him IS nicely and neatly a.
any tonsorial artist could do it, and
dressed his hair and trimmed his whis-

struck Mary, the younger.
"Ella, IT, you can shave papa, you can

"True," said Ella.

Ella saw the point. The two girls

took their csachman, whom they had
not yet dismissed, because he wouldn't

and dressed his hair and trimmed his
beard every day To accommodate

weeks time the girls were accomplished
and expert workmen, or rather workwo-
men.
Then they sold the horses and carria-

modest, but very neat shop in Union
Square and went at is. The first custo-

of the healing properties of Petroleum,
which are known. II is the most bland

NATURES SOVEREIGN REMEDY
for almost all the daily casualties which
occur in households, the workshop, or on
the farm, as well as for many of the dis
eases which affect humanity.
FOR BURNS AND SCALDS
it is invaluable, cooling and soothing the
injured parts at once, and producing q
perfect cure in very short time, without
leaving any scars. For this purpose
alone, ii is
A BLESSING TO THE WORLD.
FOR FROSTED LIMBS, COSMOLINE
is fully as efficacious as for burns and
scalds, restoring healthy action to the
injured parts very quickly. 1t is also the

President Grant began his official career Nv

no gifts. He drew nothing from tie treas

were not furnished by private benefactors.
