Good Advice,

Now is the time of the year for Pneumonia,
Lung Fever, etc. Every family should have a
bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. Don't al
low Tor one moment that cough to take hold
of your child, your family or yourself. Con-
sumption, asthama, pneumonia, Group, hem
orrhages and other fatal diseases may set in.
Although il is true German Syrup is curing
thousands OF these dreaded diseases. yet it is
much better to have it at hand when three
doses will cure you. One bottle will last your
whole family a winter and keep you safe from
danger. ifyou are eonsumrtive, do not rest
until you have tried this remedy. Sample
bottles ten cents. Regular size seventy-ive
cents. Sold by your druggist. o2-3m

Harmonious in spirit as the murmur OF the
Chesapeake upon whose shores size was born,
and as bright an vigorous with life as the
waving green, sun-lit prairies, upon which
She spent the last half of lite's morn, her I'M
expected death cast a cloud over her home
and parents hearts, too dark for words. But
few days since, bright-eyed and ioyously
laughing while at play, she fell, striking her
head, the sad result of which is 4 silent home
OF heartache aud tears, where words prove
hollow, and all earthly consolation mockery.
The public schools OF Eldorado attended her
funeral in body, and thus surrounded by
the kindred spirits Of her life. her still beau
tiiul form was laid away among the sweet
flowers, and waving green, until the Author
of Life shall impress its beauty with immor-
tally.

Another Through ROad--A New
 England Democratic View.
ONE WHO KNOWS

The New Hampshire Patriot, one ( the most inyeterate of New England Democratic papers, in an article published the latter part of March, discourseG as follows on what it called "the Southern Pacific Rtiilla3 i,b." It is good enough readinE to rap-5duce even at this late day:
 Now that the oleclia are over and 10 harm ca ts done to par. ties by letting i-l= daylight into dark places, We propose to ventflate somewhat the southern Pacific Railroad proje>t and the influence that measure eXcrted in defeating Mir. TiIden and in eleciing Mr. Hayes President. When the project of building a railroad from some central point on the Mississippi riverto Califor- mia was first started it was gener- ally understood by men of all par ties that there should be built three lines, viz.: a central line. d northern line and southern liue. The central line has been built and public lands to an enormous extent donated 10 it, besides the credit of the Government has been given to the amount of mil lions. The Northern charter has been granted, which gives away the public domain to the railroad company, amounting to millions and millions of acres. A portion of the road has been constructed, but the work has come to stand. still, while the public have been swindIed out of their money, who have invested in the worthless bonds of the company. In fact. work was commenced or the road fifty years too soon. Now comes the Southern Pacific Railroad, :, starting from Memphis. Tenn.

TKE SAN LUIS OBISPO EDITOR
In ''rhe Land of the Cactus.- and What Took Him There --- The Other Kind of Spirits.

W1cKENBURG, A. T., July 2Sth. EDITOR SENTINEL:
 see by short article in your valuable paper that the San Luis Obispo Tribune has been going for Arizona. You are little of in your conjecture that its editor only came as far as the Colorado river, and there drank spirit enough to give him the jim-janas.
The Arizona sentinel., 1877-08-04

Let me enlighten you as to his ca.
 reer in Arizona. A party of spir-
 itualiSts, headed by the editOl
 and A. NJ. Womble, conceived the
 brilliant idea of using spirits o1
 the dead to advantage in pros
 pecting out here in Arizona.
 Womble, the medium, had been out here before. and at ROWe's and other mines had gathered some very rich specimens of gold quartz. Returning to San Luis ObispO, he told his spiritualist friends that while under the influ- ence of invisible spirits he had found the richest mine on the Pa cific COast-in fact, almost a moun= tain fof gold. To corroborate his statements he produced the speci- mems, and claimed that while he was in the act of procuring more of them he was fired upon by In- dians and barely escaped with his life. He showed a bullet hole in his hat and another in the stock of his rife to substantiate his story. The party then fitted out and came by stage to Wicken- burg, where they procured buck board from the stage company and started for their "bonanza. Womble went with them as far as Mcdowell, where he gave them explicit directions how to find the bonanza, but refused to again iinperil his life by going to it. Armed to the teeth the Tribune mans party tramped around the Four Peaks country for several days, and finally made it's way to Richmond Basin. There they first learned that WOmbIe had sold them and left for California while they were marching around in the mountains. Instead of finding a gold mine of untold richness they found themselves some S3,000 out of pocket. They returned to Wickenburg, sold their outfit and left for San Luis Obispo, cttrsing Arizona and say ing it is filled with wicked spirits Drakas) which had influenced their medium and caused him to bilk them. AS for Womble, it is an old trick of his, this being the third party he has treated in the same or a similar manner. This is why no rosy tints color the Fri bune mans recOllectiOns of Ari- zOna. Yours truly,
 ONE WHO KNOWS.
