roof may be covered with very cheap shin.
gle, and by application of this slate be made to
last from 20 to 25 years. Old roofs can be
patched and coated, looking much better. and
lasting longer than the new shingles without
the slate. for
One.third the Cost of Reshin Cling.
The expense of stating new shingles is Only
about the cost of simply laying them. The
paint is FIRE-PRooF against sparks or flying EN-.
bers, as may easily be tested by any one.
IT STOPS EVERY LEAK,
And for tin or iron has no equal, as it expands
by heat, contracts by cold, and NEVER CRACKS
nor scales. Roofs covered with Tar Sheating
Felt can be made water-tght at a small ex-
pense, and preserved for many years.
This Slate Paint is
EXTREMELY CHEAP.
Two gallons will cover a hundred square
feet OF shingle roof, while on tin, iron, felt,
matched boards, or any smooth surface, from
two quarts to one gallon are required to 100
square feet of surface, and although the Paint
has heavy BODY it is easily applied with a
brush,
No Tar Is used in this Composition,
Therefore it neither cracks in Winter nor runs
in Summer.
On decayed shingles it fills up the holes and
pores and gives q new substantial roof that will
last for years. CURLED or WARPED shingles ii
brings to their places, and keeps them there.
1t fills up all holes in Felt roofs, stops the leaks
and although slow dryer, rain does not
affect it a few hours after applying. AS nearly
all paints that are black contain TAR, be sure
you obtain our GENUINE article, which for
shingle roofs) is
CHOCOLATE COLOR,
When first applied, changing in about month
to q uniform slate color, and is to all intents
and purposes SLATE. On
TIN ROOFS
Our red color is usually preferred. as one coat
is equal to five Of any ordinary paint. For
BRICK WALLS
Our BRIGHT RED is the only reliable Slate Paint
ever introduced that will effectually prevent
dampness from penetrating and diseoloring the
plaster.
These paints are also largely used on out
houses and fences, or as prining coat on fine
buildings.
Our only colors are CHOCOLATE. RED, BRIGHT
RED, and ORANGE.

Cheap John NeMspapers.

There seems to be a strong resem.
 blance growing up between certain
 class of San Francisco journals and the
 we'll known Cheap John shop of com. .mercidl fame. The former as the lat
 ter are based and worked upon the
 principle of the least and the poorest
 return for a consideration. The Cheap John newspaper wears a flashy look in
 its general appearance and courts a
 1" live " or sensational fame and tone.
 But 1t must do this with the least pos sible expenditure of money. It will
 not pay for good material, and when it does come into possession of good but sober colored matter in the general run of the market it must recolor this ma terial to suit its flashy, sensational class of custom.
 The San Francisco Chronicle is a fair type of thts class. Its scavengers gather in everything which comes cheaply to hand and bring it to the general reservoir, where retouched and colored to suit a peculiar taste it soon appears new and fresh from the pens of the live Chronicle editors. About the 18th of last month, despatches of news were sent from this frontier to the California press, giving the true condition of the Sonora revolution and the different positions occupied by the several participants in that revolution. The majority of California newspapers put up the news in a legitimate shape, as 1t came, and the news contained in their columns was genuine and true. Not so the Cheap John Chronicle. "ItI had bardner and its bardner's name vos Levi and he was a very tough GUS toner" It had a peculiar class of readers, and it must make the news lively and hot for their stimulus cray ing stomachs. And so with its Chron- ic-le disregard of truth, it has manip- ulated Serna, Pesqueira, and Sonora generally until the actors themselves would fail to recognize the situation.
