Borne, Proprietor California Elastic Truss Co., 702 Market street, San Francisco Sir: The Truss I purchased of you about eue year ago has proved a miracle to me. I have baen ruptured forty years, and worn dozens of different kinds of Trusses, all of which have ruined my health, as they were injurious to my back and spine. Your valuable Truss is as easy as an old shoe and :s worth hundreds of dollars to me, as it affords me so much pleasure. 1 can and do advise all, both ladies and gentlemen, afflicted, to buy and wear your modern improved Elastic Truss imme diately. I neyer expect to be cured, but am sat isfied and happy with the comfort it gives me to wear it. It was the best $10 I ever invested in my life. You can refer any one to me and I will be glad to answer any letters on its merits. I remain, yours respectlully, D. B. BUNNELL. Latest Medical Endorsements. Martinez, Cal., Feb. 17, 1879. W. J. Home, Proprietor California Elastic Truss Co., 702 Market street, S. F. Sir : In re gard to your California Elastic Truss, I would say that I have carefully studied its mechanism, ap plied it in practice and do not hesitate to say that for all purposes lor which Trusses are worn it is the best Truss ever offered to the public. Yours truly, J. H. CAROTHERS, M. D. Endorsed by a Prominent Medical Insti tute. Sax Frarcisco, March 6, 1879. W. J. Home, Eq. Sir: You ask my opinion of the relative merits of your Patent Elastic Truss as compared with othei kinds that have been ested under my observaion, and in reply I frank ly stale that from the time my attention was first called to their simple, though highly me chanical and philosophical construction, together with easy adjust bility to persons of all sizes, ages and forms. I add this testimony with spe cial pleasure, that the several persons who have applied to me for aid in their especial cases of rup ture, and whom I have advised to use yours, all acknowledge their entire satisfaction, and consid er the fuse ve highly favored by the possession of one of the improved Elastic Truss. Yours truly, BARLOW J. SMITH, M. D. Proprietor Hygenic Medical Institute, 635 California street, San Francisco A REMARKABLE CURE. San Francisco, Oct. 26, 1879. W. J. Home, Proprietor California Elastic Truss, 702 Market street, San Francisco Sir: I am truly grateful to you for the wonderful CURE your valuable trus s has effected on my little boy. The double truss I purchasec from you has PER FECTLY CURED hini of his painful rupture on both sides in a little over six months. The steel truss be had before I bought yours caused him cruel torture, and it was a happy day for us all when he laid it aside far the California Elas tic Truss. I am sure that all will be thankful who are providentially led to give your truss a trial. You may refer any one to me on this sub ject. Yours truly, WM. PERU, 638 Sacramento Street. This is to certify that I have examimed the son of Wm. Peru, and find him PERFECTLY CURED of hernia on both sides. L. DEXTER LYFORD, M. D., Surgeon and Physician.

Address TRUE t CO., AapMta, Maim. 0&a by one the beautiful traditions that have from time immemorial hung a wierd sort of romance about savage life in the wilderness disappear before the ruthless pencil of the invading reporter, and the tales of Cooper and the rythm of Longfellow are thereby left to stand upon their pure literary merits, unsup ported entirely by facts. The last occa sion furnished for sweeping away the cobwebs of fancy and leaving exposed the bare and unsightly realities of In dian life and character was the grand potlatch, which took place on Squaxon Island about ten miles from the head of Build's Inlet, last week. General Mil roy, Indian Agent on the Squaxon Res ervation, having perhaps, as all Agents have, a pride in the noble wards of the Government under his care, resolved that His Excellency Governor Newell, should have a ohance to see f jsa in their true glory and accordingly arranged for an excursion from Olympia to Squaxon is land by the steamer Zephyr on Saturday the 6th in st., and invited the Governor and his daughters to accompany the party. The ruthless reporter aforesaid was of course one of the number and we subjoin some of the facts concerning the Indians as they appear in every day life. FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE HXDICTJLOUS. No allusion to the habits and customs of aboriginal life would be complete with out some reference to either Cooper or Longfellow, but to quote from either anthor anything which would apply to the miserable remnant of a degenerate race, without making that undignified summersault indicated in the sub heading, would be simply impossible. We reproduce from the "Song of Hia watha" the few lines which may be made, in the most charitable spirit, to serve our purpose: "By the shining Big-Sea-Water, Stood the wigwam oi Nakomis. Daughter of the Moon, Nakomis. Dark behind it rose the forest. Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees. Rose the firs with cones upon them ; Bright before it beat the water, Beat the clear and sunny water, Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water. The wigwam, the pine-trees and the Big-Sea-Water, were all spread out be fore us in delightful panorama, but we oould not discover in the motley group of human beings and quadrupeds which assembled at our approach any semblance of the beautiful Nakomis, or the lily-like form of Winona. If even the old arrow-maker was there he did not show himself. The first object of interest vis ited was the "POTIiATeH HOUSE," A large lodge or wigwam, about forty feet wide and probably 150 feet in length. It consists of a rude but mas sive frame-work of trees, the sides cov ered with shakes, the roof being sup ported by slender saplings without any intermediate support of collar beam or truss. A portion of the roof, along the combing, has been left open to allow the egress of smoke, but it very inadequately served the purpose, for the eyes of visi tors continually ached from the preva lence of the dense vapor which arose from a score or more of fires, on which was stewing, in pots and kettles of all shapes and sizes, the noon-day meal. Around the lodge, on an eievatea piat- fbrm about four feet wide, running its whole length, sat or reclined the women and children, in all the grotesque, not to say picturesque, attitudes imaginable. Here a comely squaw, clad in the faded, cast-off garments of some one of her aristocratic white sisters, sat knitting or sewing; there an ancient dame, clad in rags and filth, patiently watching and stirring the boiling caldrons of peas and wheat, the sole course of the meal soon to follow. Near the entrance sat a pleasant-faced klotchman making bread. Her manner was peculiar. The flour was first moistened and stirred in a pitcher, and then poured into a pan, when it was kneeded just enough to give it the shape of flat loaves, which were placed in a fry-pan and inclined to the blazing fire. The loaves appeared after baking still flat and decidedly soggy. In another part of the wigwam he saw loaves which would have been admitted for competition at our Territorial Fair, but upon inquiry we ascertained they were baked in the oven of that innovation upon savage custom, a cook stove, and probably this was the one thing needful to have made all their pastry as inviting. There were possibly 150 women and chil dren LOUNGING ON THE PLATFORMS, Which served the purpose likewise of beds at night. Under them and on the girders overhead, were stored flour, pota toes and fruit; a freshly slaughtered car cass of beef being an extra tid-bit laid away for the crowning ceremonies when the Potlatch began. Salmon were Like wise a conspicuous article of diet not the dainty, delicate flavored fish of com merce, but the blotch skinned, lean dog salmon and many of these fish, impaled n sticks, slowly roasted before the fires. THE BRAVES AT DINNER. The pots were taken from the fires, where their contents had been simmer ing all day long, and ranged in a line the entire length of the lodge. This brought them about five feet apart. Strips of matting were then stretched on either side, upon which, after much clamor and a continuous shouting by one who apparently filled the place of master of ceremonies, finally knelt two long lines of dusky savages, prepared for gas tronomic battle. Immense spoons, or ladles, made from wood or horn, were then distributed, accompanied by small cedar sticks, the use of which was a mystery soon solved. Each Siwash fia mediately applied himself to the busi ness of the moment. Dipping a full la dle of the steaming soup Or stew (of peas and wheat) from the nearest pot, he placed the smaller end of the vessel be tween his teeth and by the aid of the stick, shoved the food into his mouth, iust as Chinamen eat rice from a saucer with the use of chop-sticks. The capacity of the savage stomach, as demonstrated by this feast, was some Uing wonderful. We have long known that it revolts at scarcely any kind of food, but never before had our eyes be held the feat of stowing away the largest possible quantity within a given space.in so short a period of time!

A few of the native wo men knelt with the men, but they were generally content to sit by silent witnesses of the extraordinary performances of their delighted lords. TOMANAWUS DANCE. By special request of General Milroy, the great tomanawus dance was executed. It appeared to be more of a devotional, than a mirthful, character. The braves j form a ring, in the center of which is placed the tomanawus man of the tribe. They all then strike up a monotonous chant ir"rioring the Great Spirit to be- j stow all manner of temporal and spirit- j ual blessings. It is accompanied by a stooping, swaying motion of the body, emphasized by beats of the drum. The oldest men, leaning on staves for sup port, engage in this ceremony. Some of these antiquated specimens are too weak to undergo the fatigue of the violent gesticulation, and simply lean on their supports and nod their heads in perfect time, with the gravity and precision of automatons. THE EVENING REPAST. The bill of fare for this meal happened to be dog-salmon and potatoes. Long troughs, made of boards, like those generally used in pig-styes, were brought in; a buck then run his hands into a pot of boiled salmon and hauling forth a fish, tore off a huge morsel and placed it, with an emphatic squish, in the trough. This allowance was placed at equal distances apart, and another brave fallowed with potatoes, placing one or two of the boiled vegetables on each piece of salmon. The troughs were then arranged in line, and the diners assembled as at the noon-day meal. The hands are used at this meal, but they were quite as effective as any me chanical contrivance oould have been for storing away with celerity and dispatch, many even of our oldest residents have never invaded the DOMAINS OF BARBARIC LIFE, And may be interested in seeking in formation without suffering the penance as all do who obtain knowledge in this direction from personal inspection. And to these, as well as to those whose ro mantic ideas of Indian life are based upon fiction rather than fact, we com mend the above. The horrible sight, the noisome smells and the intolerable dis cord of inharmonious sounds, will ever deter those who have once made a visit of discovery from a repetition of the ex perience. The Quean and Mr. Gladstone- If it be true, as we read in London correspondence of a New York paper, that Mr. Gladstone snubbed his Queen when she made of him a demand tor an increase ot the salary of the Prince of Wales, tho fact will lift the old Premier in the estimation of every fair-minded man. We read the other day that the Prince had won $25,000 on a horse race. It is a fashion of betting men to permit the world to hear of their winnings, but they are careful to conceal their losses. This race in which Wales von was not the first he ever bet at; and it is only fair to suppose that he, like other sporting men, has con cealed his losses. This is the more fair when we reflect that without gambling and without indulging in other vices, it would bo impossible for the Prince of Wales to spend his income. He receives in round num bera $600,000 per annum, $50,000 per month, or, excluding Sundays, just about $2,000 per day. His house rent and traveling expenses cost him nothing; his gifts in charity do not average two thousand dollars per month; he has no old mother or lit tle sisters to support. The question is simply whether the poor of Great Britain should be taxed to pay for the vices of a dissolute Prince. If Gladstone has bad the strength, firmness and sense of justice sufficient to negative the request of his sover eign, why, then, he is worthy to be Premier ot the foremost Empire on earth. That Victoria should prefer such a request is a fearful satire on royalty, for it shows that to the Em press ot India, even as to tho rag picker, as the nobler faculties are failing with age, avarice, the first in stinct which reveals itself in the in fant, has returned and has com menced to rule old age. The majesty ot royalty cannot frown down this vice. Though possessing millions which she can never use, though hailed as sovereign of the mightiest nation that ever" existed, this old woman loves money so much that she will not save her son from disgrace by paying his debts, and, worse still, she would tax England which has been so generous to her and her's to meet the gambling debts of a loose Prince. The showing is not a dignified one for either the Queen or the Prince, but old man Gladstone shines in a magnified light in the interview. A useful and interesting modification of the electro motors sometimes used in class demonstrations for revolving Geissler tubes has been effected by A. P. Laurie and C. L. Bruton of Edin burgh, Scotland. They cause four electro-magnets to act successively upon an eccentric armature of soft iron rota ting about a central shaft, thus avoid ing the "back-pull" of various other forms of electro-motors. Says the New York Sun: "The obstinacy with which the electric light declines to go backward is cer tainly suggestive of the possibility of its being a revolution.

In India, where the monkeys live among men, and are the playmates of their children, the Hindoos have grown fond of them, and the four-handed folk participate in all their simple household rites. In the early morning, when the peasant goes out to yoke his oxen, and the crow wakes up and the dog stretehes himself and shakes off the dust in which he had slept last night, the old monkey creeps down the peepui tree, only half awake, and yawns and looks about him, puts a straw in his mouth, and scratches himself contemplatively. Then one by one the whole family come slipping down the tree trunk, and they all yawn and look about and scratch. But they are sleepy and peevish, and the youngsters get cuffed for nothing, and begin to think life dull. Yet the toilet has to be performed, and whether they like it or not, the young ones are sternly pulled up one by cne, to their mother to under go the process. The scene, though re peated exactly every moaning, loses nothing of its delightful comicality, and the monkey brats seem all to be in the joke of "taking in mamma." But mam ma was young herself not very long ago, and treats each ludicrous affection of suffering with the profoundest uncon cern, and, as she dismisses one "cleans ed" young ter with a cuff, stretches out her hand for the next one's tail or leg in the most business-like and serious man ner possible. The youngsters know their turn quite well. As each feels the moment arrive it throws itself on its stomach as if over whelmed with apprehension, the others meanwhile stifling their satisfaction at the way "so-and-so is doing it," and the instant the marial paw is extended to grasp the tail, the subject of the next ex periment utters a piercing shriek, and, throwing its arms forward in the dust, allows itself to be dragged along a limp and helpless carcass, winking all the time, no doubt, at its brothers and sis ters at the way it is imposing on the old lady. But the old lady will stand no nonsense, and, turning the child right side up, proceeds to put it to rights, takes the kinks out of its tail and knots out of its fur, pokes its fingers into its ears and looks at each of its toes, the ir repressible brat all the time wearing on his face an absurd expression of hope less and incurable grief, those who have been already cleansed looking on with delight at the screaming farce, and ihose who are waiting wearing a becoming as pect of enormous gravity. The old lady, however, has her joke, too, which is to cuff each youngster be fore she lets it go, and, nimble as her offspring are, she generally, to her credit be it said, manages to "fetch them one on the ears" before they are out of reach. The father, meanwhile, sits gravely with his back to all these domestic matters, waiting for breakfast. Presently the mats before the hut doors are pushed""- down, and women with brass vessels in their hands, come out, and while they scour the pots with dustexfihange be tween songs the compliments of the morning. The monkeys by tlr.s time have come closer to the preparations for food, and sit solemnly, household by household, watching every movement. Hindoos do not hurry themselves in any thing they do, but the monkey has plenty of patience, and in the end, when the crowd has stolen a little, and the dog has had his morsel, and the children are all fatisfied, the fragments of the meal are thrown out on the ground for the "blunder orgue," the monkey people, and it is soon discussed, the mother feeding the baby before she herself eats.
