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.

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

ward will be paid. I
For capturing heavv guns of : the

will be paid for each gun 3,000 taels,
and to the leader 5,000 taels and a
recommendation for a peacock's feather

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. '

while living in the malarial districts of
Texas, each Succeeding attack being more
severe, and leaving me less - strength' to

slept well. It is now twelve months since
I have had an attack of bilious colic, and
have fewer symptoms o the return of the
disease than for years. You are at liberty

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.

doctrine will al ways destroy pure love.

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.

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
