Portuguese Hence In California.

San Francisco papers remark on the ar
rivals of Portuguese from these Islands. The
Bulletin says:
Nearly forty Portuguese arrived on the
steamer Australia yesterday from the Ha-
waiian Islands where they had been working
under contract on the plantations. After
landing at the Oceanic mail dock the small
and picturesque colony started mp through
the city, looking as odd as a band OF gypsies.
Half of them were barefooted and wore all
kinds of fantastic and vari-colored garments.
Nearly every ship brings band of these
people, who are seeking homes in California.
Their places on the islands are being taken
by Japanese.

ty. 1 have lost my companions and miss

me the road. will pay you we'll"
81 cannot go, cir" replied Gerhardt,
very firmly. "My master pays me for my
time, and he trusts me with his sheep. II
I we're to sell you my time, which does
not belong to me, and the sheep should
get lost, it would be just the same as il l
stole them"
"Well," said the hunter, "wil you trust
your sheep with me while you go to the
village and get some food and drink and
guide? I will take good care of your
sheep"
81 cannot leave my sheep. sir. They
would stray into the forest and be eaten
by wolves and be stolen by robbers"
well, what of thst?" queried the hunt
or. They are not your sheep. The loss
of one or more would not be much to
your master; and I'll give you more
money than you ever earned before in a
whole year."
The boy shook his head.
"The sheep do not know your voice,
and"
"And what? Can't you trust meP Do
look like dishonest man?" inquired
the hunter, rather angrily.
"Sir," said the boy, slowly, "you tried
to make me false to my trust, and wanted
me to break my word to my master. How
do know you would keep your word to
me?"
The hunter laughed, for he felt that the
boy had fairly cornered him.
"I see, my lad, that you are good
faithful boy. 1 will not forget you. Show
me the road and will try to make it out
myself"
Gerhardt now offered the humble con-
tents OF his scrip to the hungry man, who.
coarse as they were, ate them gladly.
Presently the attendants came up, and
then Gerhsrdt, to his surprise found that
the hunter was the Grand Duke, who
owned all the country round. The duke
was SO pleased with the boys honesty
that he sent for him shortly after and
had him educated. In after years Ger
hsrdt became very rich and powerful
man; but he remained honest and true to
his dying day. Honesty, truth and fidel-
ity are precious jewels in the character Of

$500 REWARD.

If you suffer from dull, heavy headache,
obstruction of the nasal passages, discharges
falling from the head into the throat, some
times profuse, watery, and acrid, at others,
thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody,
and putrid; if the eyes are weak, watery and
infamed and there is ringing in the ears,
deafness, hacking or coughing to clear the
throat, expectoration of offensive mat
ter, together with scabs from ulcers,
the voice being changed and having a
nasal twang; the breath offensive; smell and
taste impaired; experience a sensation of
dizziness, with menfal depression, a hacking
cough and general debility, then you are suf-
fering from chronic nasal catarrh. Only q
few of the above named symptoms are likely
to be present in any one case at one time, or
in one stage of the disease. Thousands of
cases annually, without manifesting half of
the above symptoms, result in consumption,
and end in the grave. No disease is so COM
mon, more deceptive and dangerous, less
understood or more unsuccessfully treated by
physicians. The manufacturers of DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy offer, in good faith, $500
reward for case of catarrh which they can
not cure. The remedy is sold by druggists
at only 80 cents.

TWO APPLES.

The other day I stood looking at a
noble specimen OF horse, who refused
to advance one step.
The driver dismounted, and took hold
of the bits, but the head went up with
defiant jerk.
The driver again took his seat and was
vainly urging the obstinate animal, when
a lady stepped gracefully forward from a
neighboring house. Her face was the
picture of kindness and good will. In
her hand were two apples. She held one
to the mouth of the obstinate animal.
What horse with a particle OF chivalry In
his nature could resist such a mode Of
warfare? He took the apple and his OBJ
stinacy vanished and he started. But
the lady evidently believed in finishing
the work thoroughly, and held out an
other. He took it as gracefully as it was
given, and then with right good will
and right good pace started again.
Two apples did that work. Drivers of
obstinate horses, please take notice; two
apples saved great deal Of time.-Our

SARA CREWE AND HER DOLL
EMIIX

One of these nights, when she came up
to the garrett cold, hungry, tired, and
with a tempest raging in her small
breast, Emily's stare seemed so vacant,
her sawdust legs and arms SO limp and
inexpensive, that Sara lost all control
over herself.
81 shall. die presently p she said at
first.
Emily stared.
81 can't bear this p said the poor child,
trembling. 81 know / shall die. I'm
cold, I'm wet, I'm starving to death. I've
walked thousand miles to-day, and they
have done nothing but scold me from
morning till night. And because could
not find the last thing they sent me for,
they would not give me any supper.
Some men laughed of me because my old
shoes made me slip down in the mud.
I'm covered with mud now. And then
laughed Do you hear?"
She looked at the staring glass eyes
and complacent wax face, and suddenly
sort of heart-broken rage seized her.
She lifted her little savage hand and
knocked Emily off the chair, bursting
into a passion Of sobbing.
"You are nothing but doll r she
cried. "Nothing but doll--doll doll
You care for nothing. You are stuffed
with sawdust. You never had heart.
Nothing could ever make you feel. You
are doll r
Emily lay upon the floor, with her legs
ANONYMOUSLY doubled up over her head
and new fiat piece on the end of her
nose; but she was still calm, even digni-
fed.
Sara hid her face on her arms and sob y.
bed. Some rats in the wall began to fight
and bite each other, and squeak and
scramble. But, as L have already inti-
mated, Sara was not in the habit of cry
ing. After while she stopped, and when
she stopped she looked at Emily, who
seemed to be gazing at her around the
side of one ankle, and actually with a
kind of CLASSY eyed sympathy. Sara bent
and picked her up. RemOrse overlook
her.
"You can't help being doll" she said,
with a resigned sigh, "sny more than
those girls downstairs can help not hsv-
ing any sense. We are not all alike.
Perhaps you do your 'sawdust best /"
From "Sdrd Crelce."

medicine was the strengthening of my

Springs, Texas.
"I had dry scaly humor for years,
and suffered terribly and. as my BROTH
er and sister were similarly afflicted,
presume the malady is hereditary. Last
winter, DIR. Tyron, (of Fernandina,

Sarsaparilla, and continue it for year.

not had a blemish upon my body for the
last three months. IT E. Wiley, 146
Chambers ST., New York City.
"Last fall and winter I was troubled
with dull, heavy pain in my side. 1
did not notice it much at first, but it
gradually grew worse until it became
almost unbearable. During the latter
part of this time, disorders of the stom-
ach and liver increased my troubles. 1
began taking Ayers Sarsaparilla, and,
after faithfully continuing the use of
this medicine for some months, the pain
disappeared and 1 was completely
cured" Mrs. Augusta A. Furbush,
