THE HEADS OF FRENCHMEN. Prices Which the Chinese Government WW Fay for Them. -Late copies of newspapers published in China in the English language giro much STar.R t,n tiifi war wHlh"flrt Frpnph. A writer in the China Mail gives a translation of a proclamation issued at Canton by the Government, offering rewards for the" heads of French offi cers and soldiers. After abusing the enemy, charging them with ingratitude and injustice, and with being cruel, proud and covetous, the proclamation declares that, in the judgment of the nations, the French are in he wrong. The rewards are then an nounced which will be granted for de stroying those wicked people, as fol lows: I I. Any soldier or civilian who will take alive or bring in the head of the French Commander-in-Chief shall, after the necessary proofs have been given, receive a reward of 10,000 taels, and be recommended to the Emperor as worthy to have bestowed on him a peacock's feather with the rank of Major in the army. Atael is worth about one dollar and fifty cents. The peacock's feather car ries with it the rank of a Mandarin of superior order. , II. For a French officer next in rank to the command (a seven stripes officer), a reward of 5,000 taels and a peacock's feather and the rank of first Captain. - TIT T?ai o r - nfflniol rr ?! t f o rr. rf t! i -SV.A i-e X W A.

For taking or killing any officer of lower rank, 500 taels, plain feather and the rank of Lieutenant; for killing a French private soldier, 100 taels, and for every Anamese or Chinese taken m tne service oi trance a re ward of fifty taels. To any person killing a great number of the enemy a proportionate reward will be given. -t If already an official, a person takin alive or bringing in the head of an enemy will be recommended to higher rank proportionately to the merit dis played, j For capturing an iron-plated ship of the first size a reward of 100,000 taels is offered; for an iron-plated ship of j the second size, 80,000 taels: for a wooden vessel of the first size, 40,000 taels; for a rowboat, 100 taels; and whatever is found in the ships will be given to those who take them. For burning or sink ing ships of the enemy one-half the re ward will be paid. I For capturing heavv guns of : the enemy of 10,000 catties weight each (a catty being one and one-third pounds) will be paid for each gun 3,000 taels, and to the leader 5,000 taels and a recommendation for a peacock's feather and the rank of first Captain. For heavy guns of the second size proper tionate rewards will be paid. And persons, whether oihciai or private subjects, who shall devise means to gain a victory over the enemy shall receive a reward of 30,000 taels and be recommended to high official dignity The people of any town the French may attack who shall protect the place against the enemy until soldiers have arrived to render assistance will receive a reward of from 1.000 to 10,000 taels, and the leader will be recommended to receive a plain feather and official em ployment. The promises of the Chinese Govern ment are not very highly respected where that Government is best known, so it is expressly stated in the procla mation that the money promised, "has already been drawn from the'' three treasuries of the province, and those to whom the rewards become due will re ceive them at once, without reduction and without delav." The effect of this proclamation was to excite the Chinese to acts of violence against all foreigners, as they could or would not distinguish between i; rench men and other Europeans and Amer icans. Accordingly representations were made to the Viceroy by the foreign Consuls, which resulted in a supplementary proclamation being issued, of which the following is an extract: "If. any be found making the doings of the French an occasion of harm to the innocent people of other nationalities they will certainly suffer capital punishment." In spite of this second proclamation many cases of violence to foreigners in Canton took place, and a number of chapels were sacked. Four native converts, soldiers in the Chinese army, were arrested and thrown into prison, the charges against them being, according to the Canton Mail, "that they had a dangerous kind of foreign medicine, which, if put upon the heavy guns would cause the trunnions to fail off and render the guns useless.',' j. No cases are known of rewards ! for the heads of French soldiers being won under the conditions of the procla mation, but the gunner who struck the French ship La Galissonniere at Kimpal, who was a Lieutenant p the Chinese army by the name of K'ang, has been rewarded, according to the Shanghi Courier, with a brevet of third rank (light blue button) and six hundred taels. ., . Italian Superstitions. Two boats 'belonging to Mergellina were fishing in company, when a dol phin got entangled in their nets. The men did their best to release it and drive it away, but in vain; it seemed to take a pleasure in destroying their property. At last one of them ex claimed: "The devil take the nets!" "That is just what I have come to do, and VOU too." rfinlirwl the rlnl nViin 1 in o human voice, lifting its black head out of the water. The men of the boat in their terror left their net3 and returned home with the greatest speed, but the unfortunate fisherman who had been addressed had barely time to confess and receive the sacrament before his death. Twelve years ago there were three fishermen in Mergellina who had heard the story, from the lips of those who were present in the boats. We leave it to members of the Fsyehical Society to say whether this is not evidence sufficient to demand an inves tigation, and to our readers to decide whether they would believe the tale even if it were attested by three hundred irreproachable witnesses. Among Ithe fishermen no one seemed to entertain any doubt of its truth. ' In the public schools of Greece the four Gospels of the New Testament are used as a reader by the children of the most advanced classes of the primary department, and the new Minister of Education proposes to extend their use into the higher schools.

The old proverb is certainly true in the case of Dr. Pierce's "Pleasant Purgative Pellets," which are little, sugar-wrapped parcels, scarcely larger than mustard seeds, containingas much cathartic power as is done up in the biggest, most repulsive-looking pill. Unlike the big pills, however, they are mild and pleasant in their operation do not produce griping pains, nor render the bowels costive after using.

For centuries France has been noted over all other countries of Europe for the superiority of its horses. Especially is this true regarding the horses of Nor mandy, which are generally known in America as the .Norman Percheron horses. The importations of these horses have been small as compared with the number of horses bred at home, but those which have been imported have proved very profitable to their owners. In fact, the demand for this breed has been steadily and rapidly increased until'it issafejtosay that the Norman Percheron will be, in fu ture, the horse for heavy work in this country. He possesses superior strength, speed, docility, temper and honesty and a complete absence of irritability. His use fulness causes him to be everywhere in demand. The only parties who at present make a business of importing these celebrated horses directly from France to the Pacific C ast, are the firm of Fairbanks & Wilsev. of Petaluma, Cal. There are others who buy in the Kast and have brought a few from Illinois, but Messrs. Fairbanks & Wilsey liave imported within the last two years three bands, Mr. Wilsey having just returnea w iui tne tnira importation, num bering twenty, and they constitute as fine a collection as one could ever hope to see. They are black, brown and gray in color. standing from 15 to 17 hands and 3 inches high and weighing from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds each. Thev are va ued at from 1,500 upward. Some of them have al ready been sold and the firm proposes to sell the balance to buyers here as cheap as 'ike animals can he bouzht second-hand in Illinois. We present a cut of the fine .Norman t'ercneron stallion, Uumas, im ported in July, 1883. The firm of Fair banks & Wilsey have shown great enter prise, and we are pleased to note that they are meeting with the encouragement their undertaking deserves.

Not any, we are happy to answer, provided the glow of health tem pers the tender expression. The pale, anx ious, bloodless face of the consumptive, or the evident sufferings of the dyspeptic, induce feelings of sorrow and grief on our art and compel us to tell them of Dr. Jierce's "Golden Medical Discovery," the soverign remedy for consumption and other diseases of the respiratory system, as well as dyspepsia and other digestive troubles.

English, Grain, Produce and General Commission Merchant of San Francisco. Mr.. English commenced his present business in 1861 in a very small way. having little or noth ing more than his energy and integrity as a capital to work on. lie is now wealthy and one of the most successful of San Francisco's merchants. The people of San Francisco have recently elected him a member of the Hoard of Education by a handsome majority, and we believe he will honor the position. Try Germea for breakfast.

TPY fCFPCS wen established, having almdy 60.000 subscribers, and is backed by ample capital, so I liC lUUL I II I FiLLl Li! that every one of our subscribers may be sure of getting what we promise. Indeed, we could not aff.wd otherwise. Undoubtedly some who read this new departure will think an offer to give away 30.f1 in presents ia most unreasonable and unprofitable; but let us say to all such persons that ft costs anywhere from 125,000 to 150, 000 to secure a Urge circulation to psper. We know of a publisher that spent 5O,HO0 in one week in giving away free copies and advertising his papers, and the money was well spent, tor it secured for him an established circulation that paid toori interest on the investment. Publishing nowadays must either be done on an extensive scale or not at all. It costs Ju.t as much lor matter, and just as much for illustrations, electrotypes, editorial services, rent, and for setting np the type for a paper of 100 circulation as it does for a paper with 3-,M) circulation. On small editions each one of tbe above items swells the cost of s single paper alarmiiiEly, hut on large editions the expense is spread over so many papers that it is almost entirely lost. Thus yon see thut laree profits enn be made only by doing a large business. This is precisely what we propose doina with THE POUI.TRT KEFPER. We will send a Printed List of the Awards tree, and all presents will be forwarded to holders of receipts as they may direct.
