some statuary Of Hope is the first TO
greet the eye. Beyond doubt this is as
handsome piece of workmanship as has
ever been presented by any firm i'll the
same business. The dTapery surrounding
the figure is unique, and as perfect as

Gus pieces, such as crosses, tablets, V 'eaths
etc, and to say the least the entire zplay
is one deserving of great credit to t; en-
terprising firm. For the benefit of /. ose

G. NJ Jarvis & Co, dishllers, SAN Jose,
have neat and fine display OF wines and
brandies. Their speciality is the Jarvis
Beisling grape brandy, vintage 1877. 1t
is a wcll-known fact that most of the Cali
fornia brandies are very faulty, having 4
harsh ssdisagreeable taste. The Naglee and
Baldwin brandies measrTabiy overcamc
this objection, but it was left 10 the Jarvis
Brandy Company. of San Jose, to finish an
article entirely free from all these objec-
tons. and to give Il brandy more like a
good French cOgnac than any other hereto
fore made in our State. This brandyshas
clear and delicious flavor, fine fragrant
bouquet, but its crowning excellence is its

grape brandy to 4 most searching chemical
analysis, aud find it to be entirely free from
- constituting remarkably
pure article"
