How He Struck . Bonanza.

We had been roughing il around for Z
couple of months when We found our
selves one evening camrcd outside of
Monterey. Our finances were very low.
There was only . few dollars in the
whole crowd, and We felt rather blue.
We had been for several days discussing
what was best to be done. We knew
little Of the language Of the country:
there was no work th>t suited N, or
that we were capable Of doing. and
stages in that country wouldn't pay the
wear and tear Of robbing them.
We were sitting around the camp fire
in very respondent frame Of mind
when McInnis came in from town.
Hello, boys" he shouted: "Ive
found it--strnck : bonanza We aro
well fixed: cheer up. We are al right
now. and don't you forget it"
.What is il? ?" We asked.
You never mind" he replied; "you
follow me and I'll show you"
We filed after him into town. He led
us through the main street, across tho
plaza, and down into the poorest part of
the town. Stopping in front Of : ANAL
adobe store, he marched us Ill in. Mo
Innls stood looking from one TO the 9th
er rs if waiting for applause.
We could see no sign Of the bonAnxa,
and in chorus We impatiently demanded
that he should explain.
How Eluch money have 70 In the
crowd p inquired McfnniA.
.Seven dollars and half, al told,
replied our Treasurer.
Well. didn't say We were al rich 2
Yes, but We can't zee how we can be
rich on 81. So"
"You can't, ehf" said McInnis.
Cant you read p and he pointed
proudly 70 card hanging above thu
counter, On which Was printed the
legend:
-Four drinks for = quarter. ."-.Sas

A NegrO's Discovery.

There is weed in the South known as
tie wild coffee plant, which has caused
the planters good deal Of trouble and
annoyance, and has consequently been
greatly despised. It has recently been
discovered that the plant has its use, AZ
rope can be made from it equal to the
hest hemp, and stronger and finer than
ja,e. The discovery WAS made by G ne
gro who needed 4 piece Of rope, but could
lind none. On looking around his at
tentlon was attracted to this plant, and
he cut the stalks and treated them in the
same manner he had been accustomed to
see hemp treated in Kentucky. and tho
result was a fiber Of good length and OF
surprising strength. which the old man
aeon converted into rope.

TARIFF COMMISSION.
To His Esrce1ency Vim. A. Ne,0eu::

To His Ercellency Vim. A. Ne,OeU:
Sir am instructed by the Tariff
Commission to express through you
to the citizens of your Territory the
profound regret of the Commission at
their inability to pursue their in
quiries personally in the Pacific and
adjoining States of the extreme west.
| beg to state that early in the work
of the Commission a resolution was
formally adopted to visit the Pacific
states. This resolution was founded
upon the impression of the Commits
sion that there are special subjects of
inquiry affecting these States demand
ing personal investigation, such as
the mining and agricultural interests
of these sections. Inquiry in these
States was deemed specially desirable
to obtain information as to the opera
ton of the commercial treaties in ex-
istence and proposed upon the beet
sugar and wine interests of California,
while independently of the latter con-
sideration no schedule of duties affect
ing wines and liquors could be prop
erly prepared without considering the
interests of Territory so largely con-
cerned in their production.
The interests of other products of
California, such as fruits and olive oil,
and the relations of reduction of the
duty on wool as affecting the COM
merce between Australia and San
Francisco were deemed proper sub
iects for inquiry, as well, en- the other
hand, as the effect of such reduction
upon the wool-producing interests of
all the Pacific and adjacent States.
1t is only very recently, however,
that the Commission have been COM
PEELED, reluctantly, to conclude that
the brief time at command for the i'm
perative obligation to submit final
report on the first Monday of Decem-
Der next, and the necessity, not only
of taking testimony from all sections,
but of having it seasonably published
for collation. and consideration, will
not permita visit to the Pacific States.
Under these circumstances it is the
desire of the Commission to receive
the fullest possible information bear
ing upon these and other special in
terests of your Territory in the divis-
ion of the tariff from the commercial
and industrial organizations and citi-
zens of the Pacific and adjacent States
in the form of written statements, if
personal appearance by delegation or
IOl DC Pi dCtiCdOACs
Such statements will receive the same
consideration, and have the same eff
feet, as if personally made to the COM
mission.
No formality is required in these
statements, the suggestion only being
given that the duties and charges rec
commended be specifically and dis
tinctly stated, and that the reasons
fherafOr he fulIv and clearly SET forth
All communications should be adj
dressed to the undersigned at the city
of Washington, ID. G.
Soliciting your earnest cooperation
and that of the citizens of your Terri
tory in the work of the Commission,
l have the honor to be,
Sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

The leading Scientists of to-day agree
that most diseases are caused by disordered

people suffered great agony without being
able to find relief The discovery Of Warmers

in the treatment of these troubles. Made
from a simple tropical leaf of rare value, 1t

ish and invigorate both of these great organs,
