RECENT DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT AZTEC POTTERY. During my recent rambles through the Medicine Bow of the Rocky mountains, I was shown by an old frontiersman a mound which, although worn down somewhat and torn to pieces by the buffalo, the antelope and the coyote, still bore the appearance of having at one time been very large and high. This, I was told, had, no doubt, been the burial place of some ancient tribe or race of men, the cemetery, perhaps, of a nation now unknown. Here in the heart of a new world, where men who had known the region for fifteen or twenty years, are now called "old timers," where "new discoveries" had been made within my own recollection, we found the sepulchre of a nation that was old when the Pilgrims landed on the shores of Columbia. I am something of an antiquarian with all my numerous chairs, and I resolved to excavate at this spot and learn the hidden secrets of those people who lived when our earth was young. I started to dig into the vast sarcophagus. The ground was very hard. The more I worked the more I felt that I was desecrating the burial place of a mighty race of men, now powerless to defend themselves against the vandal hands to mar their eternal slumber. I resolved to continue my researches according to the vicarious plan. I secured the services of a hardened, soulless hireling, who did not wot of the solemn surroundings, and who could dig faster than I could. He proceeded with the excavation business, while I sought a shady dell where I could weep alone. It was a solemn thought, indeed. I murmered softly to myself, The knights are dust Their swords are rust; Their souls are with The saints' we trust. Just then a wood-tick ran up one of my alabaster limbs about nine feet, made a location and began to do some work on it under the United States mining laws. I removed him by force and submitted him to the dry crushing process. Boston Bakers. Though Boston has fames as a large consumer, baked beans have immemorial a favorite in New England.

The immigration received at the port of New York during the first six months of 1880 shows a larger total by 19,000 than the same period in 1872, which until now had stood as the highest figure of the past twenty-five years. The total for the past six months is 177,000, or more than three times the number of those who came during the same period last year. For and About Women.

It is monstrous, exolains a social philosopher, that thousands of young shop girls should be forced to work from eight in the morning until nine with the excavation business, while I sought a shady dell where I could weep alone. It was a solemn thought, indeed. I murmered softly to myself, The knights are dust Their swords are rust; Their souls are with The saints' we trust. Just then a wood-tick ran up one of my alabaster limbs about nine feet, made a location and began to do some work on it under the United States mining laws. I removed him by force and submitted him to the dry crushing process between a piece of micaceous slate and a fragment of deodorized, copper-stained manganese. But we are speaking of the Aztecs, not the wood-ticks. Nothing on earth is old save by comparison. The air we breathe and which we please to call fresh air, is only so comparatively. It is the same old air. As a recent air is not so fresh as "Silver Threads Among the Gold." It has been in one form and another through the never shifting ages all along the steady march of tireless time, but it is the same old union of various gaseous elements floating through space, only modeled for the spring trade. All we see or hear or feel, is old. Truth itself is old. Old and falling into disuse, too. Outside of what I am using in my business, perhaps, not over two or three bales are now on the market. Here in the primeval solitude, undisturbed by the foot of man, I found the crumbling remnants of those who once walked the earth in their might and vaunted their strength among the powers of their world. No doubt they had experienced the first wild thrill of all-powerful love, and thought it was a new thing. They had known, with mingled pain and pleasure, when they struggled feebly against the omnipotent sway of consuming passion, that they were mashed, and they flattered themselves that they were the first in all the illimitable range of relentless years who had been fortunate enough to get hold of the genuine thing. All others had been base imitations. Here, perhaps, on this very spot, the Aztec youth with a bright eyed maiden on his arm had pledged life-long fidelity to her shrine, and in the midnight silence had stolen away from her with a pang of vigorous regret, followed by the sobs of his soul's idol and the demoralizing, leaden rain of buckshot, with the compliments and best wishes of the old man. While I was meditating upon these things, a glad shout from the scene of operations attracted my attention. I rose and went to the excavation and found, to my unspeakable astonishment and pleasure, that the man had unearthed a large Queen Anne tear jug, with Etruscan work upon the exterior to represent the elaborate interlacings of the willow. It was simply one of the old-fashioned single-barreled tear jugs, made for a one-eyed man to cry into. The vessel was about eighteen inches in height by five or six inches in diameter.

A POPULAR PREAGHER.—The Rev. John Hall may be called the heaviest of the Presbyterian clergy of New York city, both in talents and weight. He stands six feet high and is rather portly even for his stature. In point of ability he has hardly an equal, at least in that denomination with which he is connected. Those who hear Dr. Hall for the first time are surprised at his simplicity of style. There is no attempt at what may be termed "the sensational," and his sole power is that of scriptural truth, presented with great clearness and earnestness. He can hold the largest average congregation in the city by a presentation of scripture themes in his simple and earnest manner. In this respect he is very different from either Talmage or Beecher. Hall has labored with such intense application that he looks much older than the record of his years. He is just fifty-one, and has preached in this city thirteen years. He came to a declining church, but it soon was too small for its congregation, and since then the latter has built the largest Presbyterian church in America. Hall is very liberal in the use of his large salary, and were it treble it would be none too great for the claims to which he is subjected. He receives $15,000 a year, and his congregation can better afford to pay him $30,000 than to lose a man who draws such attentive crowds.—Car. Utica Herald. A tableau is frequently nothing tableau about. Boston Baked Beans. Though Boston has acquired some fame, as a large consumer of this excellent, baked beans have been from time immemorial a favorite dish throughout New England. The sturdy men and women of generations ago, who braved danger and hardships in planting an independent colony, added strength to their sinews and muscles by eating simple food, of which baked beans were a much cherished ingredient, and of all ancient dishes none have stood better the test of time and the caprices of the appetites of the people. But it is a little singular that, while New England is so large a consumer of baked beans, and New Englanders, more especially the residents of Boston, have acquired the mystery of cooking them perfectly, the dish is not in much favor elsewhere, and that the knowledge of baking them properly is exceedingly limited. It may be said that one circumstance is due to the other—that is, that where it is not known how to bake beans properly, they are naturally not a popular article of diet. If the method and process of baking were patented, it could hardly be more exclusively held by New Englanders. In New York and other municipalities, a contempt is often expressed for the Athenian love for baked beans, and yet, not long ago, a fashionable club house, on the occasion of a special gathering, sent by express to this city for twenty two-quart pots of Boston baked beans. This manner of obtaining a dish they affect to despise is frequently resorted to, undoubtedly with a profit alike to the buyer and seller. An experienced baker of this city, being asked why baked beans were not as popular in New York as in Boston, said: "Because they don't know how to cook them. They don't soak them enough, boil them too much, and then take them out of the oven before they are half baked." "But it would be easy enough for them to learn how to cook them?" "Well, if it is, they don't learn. That much I know." There is a lunch counter in one of the busiest sections of New York, where genuine Boston baked beans are served, which is reported to be doing a thriving business. Travelers in the West and South have noticed in the windows of restaurants in cities and towns placards announcing Boston baked beans; but, Reliable Testimony. Where testimonials give the residence of the parties it is an easy matter for any person to verify them.

STANDARD SOAP COMPANY—GENTS: Some two or three months ago, I had a boy about two years old that had suffered for a year with a severe eruption on the head and face, caused by teething. The child was in such misery that it would often be awakened out of sleep by the severe tachyne. He would then seatch his head and face until the blood ran from the scabs. We tried everything we could find, but nothing seemed to give any permanent relief until we tried PHOSPHATE SOAP. Before we used one cake, the child's head and face were entirely healed, and there has been no appearance of the disease since. MICHAEL KANE No 1463 Kirkham St. FORT VERDE, Arizona, Dec. 12, 1879. STANDARD SOAP COMPANY—GENTS: Having received your box of PHOSPHATE SOAP, and having used only one cake of SOAP out of the three, I am happy to say that it has completely cured my sore eyelids which was caused by the alkali dust in Idaho Territory, in 1877, and have been more ever since until I used PHOSPHATE SOAP. CORPORAL DENNIS BURKE, Twelfth Infantry. SAN FRANCISCO, November 27, 1879. STANDARD SOAP COMPANY—GENTS: After a number of trials of Soaps, I have learned that the PHOSPHATE is certainly the very best for shaving. I thank you for its introduction. JAMES P. ARTHUR. False Reasoning. Suppose a machine should fail to perform its work, and the owner instead of trying to ascertain the cause of failure and remedy it, should conclude to run right along, and argue that as the machine had heretofore come around all right it would soon be so again. If a general and permanent breakdown ensued, could anybody be blamed but himself? Now, precisely this way do people act and argue when the "human machine" is out of order. When the liver is "torpid" and bowels constipated every one knows that Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets afford prompt and permanent relief. Yet some guess the "machine" will come around all right, and do nothing. Could any system of false reasoning be more pernicious? Suppose the blood be out of order and there be pimples, ulcers, or running sores with scrofulous tumors, swellings and general debility, and those thus affected should refuse to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, guessing that the blood would purify itself, could anybody be blamed but themselves if COMING PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN SEND 65 Cents, In 2-cent Postage Stamps, Coin, etc., and Get the Great Weekly.

There is a lunch counter in one of the busiest sections of New York, where genuine Boston baked beans are served, which is reported to be doing a thriving business. Travelers in the West and South have noticed in the windows of restaurants in cities and towns placards announcing Boston baked beans; but, on entering and eating a dish, find but little resemblance between it and the "home article." Custom has prescribed either Saturday night or Sunday morning as the "correct time" for eating baked beans, and the scene at the baker's then is the busiest of the week. Among the hundreds of bakers in the city there are few who do not "put to soak" on Friday night from one to five barrels of beans, which added to the number cooked in private dwellings will give one conception of how well deserving is Boston of her fame as a bean-consuming city. A well-informed gentleman estimates that the consumption of beans in Boston is about 200 barrels per week, or about 10,000 barrels per year. One reason why Boston baked beans are considered better than any others is that almost invariably they are baked in brick ovens over night. Besides baking a quantity to sell, the bakers, for the nominal sum of five cents per pot, receive and bake the beans that are prepared by their customers, thus adding materially to their own and the convenience of the public. It is a fact, certainly not universally known, that there is in Boston an establishment devoted exclusively to the baking of beans, entirely separate from a canning institution. It is the only establishment of the kind in the world, probably, and it is exceedingly doubtful whether it could live anywhere else. At all events, attempts have been made to establish similar institutions elsewhere, and nothing but failure has been the result, and it is now plain enough that a bean-eating community is requisite to support a bean-baking establishment. The success of the Boston bean bakery was assured from the start, and its enterprising proprietor has climbed up the road to wealth by the bean alone, without assistance from the pole. Every night in the week the fire under the spacious brick oven is in full blast, and two teams are kept busy daily in delivering the pots and their smoking-hot contents. Of the customers of the bakery, full one-half are restaurant keepers, who pay twenty cents for two quarts of beans, and then retail them at ten, fifteen and twenty cents per plate. The bakery consumes from 1,900 to 3,800 pounds of beans per week, and its oven has the capacity to bake 450 pots in a single night. It is, perhaps, worthy of note that the bakery is located in a fashionable quarter of the city, within a stone's throw of Washington street. In conclusion, it may be said that the Athenian fondness for baked beans continues to increase rather than to decrease, and that, in spite of what the argue that as the machine had heretofore come around all right it would soon be so again. If a general and permanent breakdown ensued, could anybody be blamed but himself? Now, precisely this way do people act and argue when the "human machine" is out of order. When the liver is "torpid" and bowels constipated every one knows that Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets afford prompt and permanent relief. Yet some guess the "machine" will come around all right, and do nothing. Could any system of false reasoning be more pernicious? Suppose the blood be out of order and there be pimples, ulcers, or running sores with scrofulous tumors, swellings and general debility, and those thus affected should refuse to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, guessing that the blood would purify itself, could anybody be blamed but themselves if a general and permanent break-down of health ensured? No remedy yet known equals the Discovery in curing all scroflous throat, bronchial and lung diseases. Sold by druggists. "The Californian."

Nerve Power. Few people suffer so much nervous exhaustion as newspaper editors. The wear and tear of getting out a good paper tells fearfully, and readers seldom know how much vital force a single item may have cost the one who wrote it. Editors have often been driven to drink in order to stimulate their exhausted faculties, but of late are using Warner's Safe Nervine instead. This valuable preparation acts as a soothing power, quieting the nerves and producing sleep with all the refreshment it brings.

SHE VISITED A PRINTING OFFICE. She came into the office smiling and radiantly beautiful. George, a handsome young typo, and she were engaged; and George had a case. He had a galley of solid nonpareil on his frame, which he was about to lock up and prove. George, blushing like a girl, shook her hand and called her his lovely darling. She eyed the galley and smiled sweeter than ever. "Doddy, dear," she said, still eyeing the galley of nonpareil, "are those the things you print with?" "Yes, darling!" said Doddy, feelingly. She swept her taper, jeweled fingers over the matter, squabbling the entire galley. "Bless you, my darling!" said George, chokingly, the sweat pouring down his face. "Why, Doddy, dear," said she, "it's all in little pieces, ain't it?" "Yes, love," said George, gently taking her little hand and leading her towards the door. "Good-by, darling," he said. "By-by; be sure to come to night." "Dear me," she soliloquized, "how George loves me! He nearly sobbed when I touched those funny little thingumies!" George, moodily: "I wish all women were in h-eaven!" Many things in this world must be done, not by reason, but by instinct.

Kind nature's own remedy—her "last, best gift to man." A plant which grows in mountain fastnesses, sedum trodden by human foot. There are thousands afflicted with diseases of the Kidneys or Urinary Organs who suffer in silence rather than to make known their troubles. Others seek relief by the use of various patent medicines, which, if they do not aggravate the disease at least do not lessen it. Even those who secure the advice of physicians often fail to get relief, owing to the very complicated and delicate nature of the organs affected. The Oregon Kidney Tea is a stricly vegetable production, and will not injure the smallest child, nor the most delicate woman, but will cure Pain in the Back and Kidneys, non-retention of Urine, Diabetes, Inflammation of the Bladder or Kidneys, Brick Dust Deposit in Urine, Leucorrhoea, Painful or Suppressed Menstruation, and all complaints arising from a diseased or debilitated state of the kidneys or urinary organs of either sex.

BEST because it contains all the excellencies of the most expensive foreign or American soaps without their defects. BEST because it combines strength with delicacy in such a way that its strong detersive qualities do not injure the skin. BEST because it is the result of years of study and experiment in the soap manufacturing business, assisted by modern chemical discoveries. BEST because it contains ingredients beneficial to the skin, which unite chemically with the soap in such a manner as to increase its saponaceous qualities. Every chemist familiar with soap manufacture knows that some ingredients which are in themselves beneficial to the skin cannot be saponified; some are partially neutralized, while others injure the quality of the soap. There are soaps in the market which are to some extent beneficial to the skin, but they are inferior articles for toilet use. PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY article offered to the public which combines all the best elements of toilet soap with medical ingredients beneficial to the skin. A superb article for the toilet, beneficial to the skin, giving it a soft, velvety appearance, and leaving a soothing, pleasant sensation after use, imparting a healthy, natural and lasting beauty to the complexion. It eradicates the poisonous effects of cosmetics; preventing skin diseases by acting as a constant purifier and disinfectant; if used constantly will cure skin diseases of long standing; is superior to any other article for bathing infants; cleansing and healing for all purposes. A superb article for the toilet, beneficial to the skin, giving it a soft, velvety appearance, and leaving a soothing, pleasant sensation after use, imparting a healthy, natural and lasting beauty to the complexion. It eradicates the poisonous effects of cosmetics; preventing skin diseases by acting as a constant purifier and disinfectant; if used constantly will cure skin diseases of long standing; is superior to any other article for bathing infants; cleansing and healing for all eruptions on the scalp or face of children; good for the teeth; produces a soft, creamy lather, nicely adapted to shaving or shampooing, removes dandruff, and gives health to the scalp without injuring the hair. If your wife is in the habit of using cosmetics of any kind, advise her to give up the pernicious practice, as the most harmless face powders obstruct the pores of the skin and sooner or later injure the complexion, while PHOSPHATE SOAP removes all impurities and assists nature in developing a natural, healthy and beautiful skin. It is an old proverb that an ounce of preventive is better than a pound of cure. Twenty-five cents invested in a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP will save hundreds of dollars in doctors' bills. It acts as a constant disinfectant, preventing Salt Rheum and other skin diseases. If your wife will persist in the use of cosmetics buy her a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP and tell her to use it every night before retiring. In that way much of the harm will be avoided, as the skin will thereby be able to retain much of its natural vigor and beauty. The genuine merits of PHOSPHATE SOAP and persistent advertising will force every druggist, groceryman and general dealer to order it by the gross sooner or later. Ask for it in every store. The retail price is 25 cents per cake. We wish to sell it only at wholesale, but in case you cannot find it we will send a nice box of three cakes by mail, postage paid, on receipt of 95 cents in stamps.

Good Land and Sure Crops. There has been steady and tolerably rapid advancement made in the growth of a majority of the towns in Colusa, Butte, Tehama and Shasta counties. Especially is this so in the agricultural districts where the land produces at least fair crops in all seasons—wet or dry—as does the land on the READING RANCH. Those looking for homes in California where diversified farming will pay every year; where wood and water are plenty and easy to be obtained, and other desirable advantages are to be had, should address the proprietor of the Reading Ranch. Some 14,000 out of 26,000 acres of the grant remain for sale at comparatively low rates, in quantities to suit purchasers, on easy terms. Prices range from $5 to $30 per acre. The tract is between two and three miles wide, with the Northern Division of the C. P. R. R. passing centrally through its entire length. Send postage stamp for map and further information, to EDWARD FRISBIE, the proprietor of Reading Ranch, Anderson, Shasta County, Cal.
