This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives--Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock-with the IOdides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this SarsapariIla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

the beggars to strip off their old clothes,

Arno, still called Beggars' bridge

A California Mining Story.

Not many miles from Shasta City is
the gulch, of which the following min
ing story is told 1t is a pretty deep
rayine, with rocks showing ali the way
up the sides. Gold in paying quantities
had been found along the stream, but it
seemed to disappear few feet from the
channel. One day, while gang of
busy men were toiling in the stream,
stranger, evidently green at mining,
came along and leaned on ragged ell
bows to watch with protruding eyes the
results of their toll. The miner nearest
him took out So nugget, and anxiety
overcame the greenhorn. "S-a-ay," he
asked, "where can | 90 to diggin' to
find it like that?" The hardy miner
stopped his work, and giving the wink
to ali the boys. so that the joke should
not be lost, pointed up on the barren
rocks where no gold had ever been
found. "Ye see that rough looking
place?" eyes, yes" said the new hand.
"Well, thar it is rich. Jes We stake out
a claim an 90 ter work, an when we
finish here We'll come up, too" Then
the new hand thanked the honest miner
and the boys all grinned appreciation of
the joke That afternoon there was
solitary figure picking away on the slope
and every time the miners looked up
they roared with laughter. But about
the next day the greenhorn struck
pocket and took out something like
$4,000 in a few minutes. Then, inno-
cent to the last, he treated all around
and thanked the miner who sent him
up there, and took his money and went
down into the valley and bought him
farm. Then the unhappy miners arose,
leaving their old claims and dotted the
hillside for many days. But there were
no more pockets anywhere. The whole
thing reads just like traditional fairy
story. But then saw the gulch. Much
more unbelievable things have happen
ed in the mines.-S0n Francisco Bul-
letin.

A Generous Justice.

Two colored women came before one
of our ministerial Justices yesterday for
the adjudication of somewhat peculiar
case. 1t appears that one of the wom-
en- gave out black calico basque to the
other to have made. The mantua-
maker kept the basque for about three
weeks, and No. l went to her and de-
manded the return of her property. The
mantua maker refused to give it up, and
a tussle for possession ensued, the re-
suit of which was the separation of the
garment, the owner getting the body
and the mantua-maker retaining the
sleeves. The suit, therefore, was for
the recovery of the value of the sleeves,
and the Justice put the parties on proof
as to the value thereof. The value was
finally fixed at 10 cents, and the Justice,
rather than 60 through the necessary
litigation to settle the matter according
to law, determined to settle it by mix
ture Of equity and charity, which was
both novel and satisfactory. He put his
hand in his pocket, pulled out a 10-cent
piece, and handed it to the plaintiff, tell
ing her to purchase another pair of
sleeves and change her mantua-maker.
All parties were satisfied, even the
Justice himself, who said he would

the mysteries of female fnery.--CharleS-

evening. After taking the animal into

to bush on the bank and went swim

bulldog, which was bathing with his
master, kept sportively climbing upon
him as he swan, thus pushing him un-
der the water. They started toward
him, but he threw the dog off, and,when
they called to know whether he wanted
help, he shook his head. They then
started to swim back, but, when they
locked soon afterward, the dog was on

could assist him, he sank and was
