The Result of Merit.

When anything stands test of fifty
years among discriminating people
ike the Americans, it is pretty good evil
dence that there is merit somewhere.
The value of a medicine is best proved
by Its continued use from year to wear by
the same persons and families, as well as
by steady increasing sale. Few, if any,
medicines have met with such contin-
ued success and popularity as has marked
the introduction and progress of BRAND
RETH's PILLS, which, after a trial of over
iiity years, are conceded to be the safest
and most effectual purgative introduced
to,the public.
That this is the result OF merit, and that
BRANDRETH's PILLS actually perform ell
that is claimed for them, is conclusiyely
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those who
have used them the longest.
BRANDRETH's PILLS are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.

THE PAINE BREAK.
Some Inroad Made ON the New Levee
by High Water.

Cohic 4hstS1c Oh Inc new J4eVee
by High Water.
1t seems that during the recent sudden
rise in the river the newly-constructed
levee across the Paine break, on the Yolo
side Of the river and a couple of miles
below Washington, came very near Civ
ing way.
This levee was constructed last spring
by gentleman from Humboldt County,
who received the contract from the Gov
ernment Engineer, Major Heuer. There
was very little slope given to the inner
side, and the great volume Of water
coming upon it suddenly, cut away the
new earth quite rapidly. Fortunately
the river fell again almost as rapidly as it
rose, and break was averted
Since then the Yolo people have done
considerable work at the spot in
strengthening the levee, but there seems
to be a feeling among people who live
near the place that the new levee may not
be able to withstand a severe spring
freShet.
The probability is, however. that if any
disaster should come to the levee, it will
be to the top only, and that the piling.
brush and sandbags below will hold
back the great volume of water in the
river, and that no serious results will fol-

a dlminution of the shockingly large
number of criminals be secured? Is
there any doubt by what means
this may be done? Do we not all
know that it is by better moral training
poweriess to work for their own amelio-
ration? Are legislators unwilling TO lend
a hand to this Soreiy needed work? Can
they look on and see immortality in
creasing, jails and penitentiaries filling
up, and money flowing out of the State
Treasury to support them, and drop their
hands by their sides, and allow their
tongues to be silent in their behalf,
neither say nor do anything to improve
the moral condition of society? If they
do the shade of heather philosopher
Will rise up in the Judgment to condemn
them. When Plato saw this corruption
running riot in his beloved Greece he did
not remain idle. He drew up complete
scheme of an ideal republic. He aimed
to lessen the number of lawsuits and
criminal trials and contentious in so
ciety. There was no Sunday in his
country. There was no moral instruction
IN the religion OF his countrymen. He
labored as best he knew, and said, THUS
at least till some god shall tell us some
better way"
His longing has been met. God has
told us better way than Plato's repub-
lie. lie whose wisdom Will never be i'm
peached, said ''rhe Sabbath was made
for man." Then let man improve it; use
1t for his own good. Our State needs it,
our whole country needs it, and eits
need is just here in moral instruction.
This moral instruction on Sunday,
when eight millions OF our children and
youth are regularly taught. is ministry
which the State will do well not to ignore.
1t IS q ministry OF goodwill, of philan-
thropy and Of pure morality. The re-
ligion of the American people, very
different from that in Plato's country, is
all full of the purest and highest moral
lty. Under the high and holy impulses
OF this religion moral instruction and
training are now going on all over our
country on Sunday. This vast amount
OF teaching has saved to the State mil
lions Of dollars, and it has cost the State
not one dollar. And it asks not ofthe State
one cent; but it does ask, and it asks
with emphasis, and it will continue to
ask, and for all the people, day OF rest
from secular labor. tie who will not
grant this, fails to see and do what is best

FOLSOM LUMBER BOOM,
The Company Preparing for Business
on a BIC Scale.

NDA~s ONssAS'
Upward OF a year ago the RECORD
UNION published a complete account OF
the work that had been done by the
American River Land and Lumber Com
pany near Folsom, where it had located
a site for sawmills and erected q lumber
boom. Since then the operations of the
company have been mentioned from time
to time, so that the public has had fair
idea OF it's operations.
Colonel G.. w. Cummings, the COM
pany's Superintendent, has been laying
out work on grand scale, and last sum
mer banked couple of million feet OF
logs along the American River in the
great sugar pine region of the Sierra
Nevada. The Folsom Telegraph of Satur-
day last, in an article showing what the
company has already accomplished and
what 1t proposes to do, says:
The last freshet brought down several
pine logs and quantity of cord wood.
All OF this was caught at the boom. The
rise in the river was about eighteen inches.
which would account for the few logs
that came down. The experience Of the
last few days, however, shows that the
logs would float, notwithstanding the
assertions OF some OF the would-be wise
acres that unseasoned pine timber could
iot Do HOdteu OOWE tne river.
1.-The company is now preparing to
demonstrate this fact on very extensive
scale, at the first high water in the river
next spring. They intend to pat in from
5000, 0O0 to 100000 feet more during the
coming season. In the meantime they
are cutting and hauling, and in the spring
OF 1892 will send down the river from TO-
00O.00O to IL, ,000, 600 feet more.
.'The company has sawmill on the
ground at the boom, which will be
erected Immediately, and be ready to
commence at once, saving the first logs
that come to the boom. This mill has a
capacity of 10000 feet per day, but is a
mere pigmy compared with the one
which the company will build as soon as
the Folsom Water Power Company's
canal is completed and ready to furnish
the power necessary to drive it. This
mill will be one of the most complete in
every respect that has ever been
built on the Pacific Coast. 1t will have a
daily capacity of 125,000 feet Of lumber.
To this mill will be attached a planning
mill, box factory sash, door and blind
factory. These several mills and fac
tories will afford employment to not less
than one hundred and fifty men,"

In a general way Mr.. KING says thai
the exposition is a great success, but he
devotes his happiest work to describing
the editors who have looked in on the
great show-Which some people say is a
bowling fraud.
Mr.. KING devotes much space to some

We pause. MR.. KING is bald headed.

headed is no sin. CESAR was red headed
and we would be r~ed-headed if we de-
sired to use >vermilion on our hair. Mr..
KING, being bald has no reason to kick.
There is a tradition that he was once
red-headed, but he was scalped by a land
lord who charged him so much for board.
This kind Of scalping did KING up and
that ends it.
The world has been making fun Of red
headed men too long. 1t is time to call
a halt.
COLONEL SHEPPE, of this city, is red
headed. He denies it but the evidence is
strong that he is red-headed. The editor
of thia paper has red hair at times. 1t 10

Ii Sunday is a day of rest
And all agree they think it so,
Why do the men put on their best
And to the crowded church all 90?
Why not loaf in flowing robe,
And have some ease as we desire
Get down the book and read of JOB
Or what the devil does with fire?
The reason is perhaps that a great many
people would rather go to church. This
seems to be the logical proposition.
TIL next time that a man says to US that be
can get a New York paper as cheap as THE

pie send to New York to buy goods in his
line. New York is cheaper than Durham and
il merchants send there for their papers it
might be arranged so that people could send
there for their goods. 1t is a poor rule that
fails to work both ways.

year in Durham and has not been mobbcd yet.
