How and Why She can Supply
Goods of every Description
Cheaper than They can be
Bought in San Francisco.

We answer because she has advantages
posse ssed by no other locality--sa> ing in
freight charges, no wharf rates, low rents and
light expense. Her merchants buy direct
from the large manufactures of the East and
have the goods shipped by rail to their doors.
Sacramento contains some of the oldest
and most firmly established mercantile houses
ON his cuast--incluoing every thing in the
line of groceries, hardware, agricultural i'm
plements, paints ana oils, stationery, crock
cry. liquors, drugs, clio hing, ca,p pets, gas
fittings, jewelry, woodenwsre ana esrthen-
ware, furniture, stoves and tinware, boots
and shoes, etc.
Her manufactures ere extensive and varied
including carriages AID wagons, machinery
brass work, pals and tubs, boxes, brooms
and matches, plows, harness, cloths; gloves,
confectionery, pottery, iron work, sashes,
doors, etc, soap, yeast powder, marble works,
pumps, windmllls, tanning mills, leather, etc
Her lumber yards are ans ng the most ex-
tensive in the State; her foundries and
machine bbops among the best; her breweries
numerous aid good; in fact there is not
line of business which may be mentioned
which is not represented in Sacramento.
She pc ssesses many fine dry goods houses,
clothing houses, millinery shops, fancy goods
5 ores. etc, her book and news depots are OF
iHc DS5t. one poFbtbsts every ldCIlIy lOr
doing any style of printing and binding. No
better hotels or markets can be found any
where.
Interior merchants intending to make pur-
cha~es for he Spring ana summer OF 1878
Will find it to their advantage to
STOP AT SACRAMENTO
And talk with our Importers, Dealers, and
Manufacturers, and thus save
TIME AND MONEY.
We offer quick supplies, low prices and
saving in freight charges.

Faces and Strings.

Did YOU ever see gutta-percha lace I
ind did you ever amuse yourselves with
pinching it one way and pulling il an
other, and seeing what different express
sions ii will put on? When You cease
pulling and pinching it, it returns to the
same face it WAS before,
Now your little faces are softer than
gutta- percha, and they are full OF little
strings called muse es and the little
muscles pull them one way. and pull
them another, Just according TO your
feelings. Sometimes you feel grieyed or
sad, aud the little muscles pull your
face into very doleful depression, and
we know by looking at you Just how you
feel, Sometimes you feel pleased or
merry, and the little muscles pulI your
faces into smiles and dimples.
But often there are wicked passions at
work at the strings. Anger pulls, and
oh what a disagreesbie look the face
put. on in minute. Pride pulls the
strings, or vanity, or envy, or disCoutent
or deceit, and each brings its own ex'
preston over the face.
The worst Ut il II, that when these
passions pull very often, the face does
not return to what it was before, but
the muscles harden and retain that ugly
expression. BY indulging in evil pas
sions, people may work their faces W
into such awful faces, that sometimes
when you meet a man in the street you
can tell, just by looking at his face whs'
his character is.
