E. S. Lnrseu. of this city, importer
of tobacco and cigars, and wholesale
grocer, is in receipt of an invoice of
the famous Grand Seal Cigar. A
San Francisco circular says:
Tliis marvelous and unrivaled brand
has just made its appearance on the
market, and it-s popularity is already un
bounded. No eiar ever met with such ,
an enthusiastic reception since inven-l
tion of tobacco. The doors hadn't been I
opened ten minutes before the house
was crowded, and the standing room
was so full of eager purchasers that their
feet stuck out through tne transom
President Grant sent for the first box,
and said he would rather be tne nian!
who made that cigar than be president,
I lie tobacco from which these cigars
are made is grown entirely in conserva
i rie-. and the cigars are manufactured
'H mahogony tallies by throughbred
Cuhnnsin claw-hammer coats sind white
kids. When a man smokes one of these
cigars he walks on air. and dreams he
has a diamond scarf-pin and a sixty
five dollar suit of clothes, and has just
married rich. It makes the breath
sweet and keeps the teeth white: and
will force a mustache on the smoothest
lip in five weeks. It improves and
beautifies the complexion, eradicates tan,
freckles, and dandruff, and imparts to
the oldest countenance the rosy fresh
ness of youth.
It permeates the house, window cur
tains, closets, and clothes with the deli
cate odors and exquisite fragrance of
heliotrope, frangipaui. jockey club, and
white ro-c. It will fasten the front gate
every night, carry in the paper in the
morning, clnse ihe hens off the garden,
and blister the bn witii the rubber gun.
No christian family can properly keep
house without it," for the man who
smokes 'this cigar will never cut wood
too long for the stove, step on a trail,
join a club, or 4go down town to the
post-office" after supper.
People who smoke this cigar will live
loiier, make more money, wear better
clothes, drive faster horses, pay bigger
new rent and go to church more regular
ly, and marry prettie- wives than any
other class o"" men. It burns with an
ash so white that chalk would make a
black mark upon it, and it wouldn't
break off and fall inside your vest, not
if you were to strike it with an earth
quake. Court Proceedings.

family has appeared. He has printed
a book, and defends his assertions
against irreverent newspaper criticism.
It appears from this volume, says the
Star, and its defence by the author,
that George Washington is descended
from the Anakim, the ci.au ts whom
Joshua drove from Palestine, who
begat so and so, who in turn begat
others, until in the regular line Odin,
the head of the royal race of Den
mark, was begotten, among whose
descendants was Earl Thorfuin, the
founder of the Washington family in
England. These facts should become
generally known. Though plain
George Washington wait in vain for a
monument, we surely would not try
the patience of a descendant of royal
Scandinavian ancestry, a relative of
the great Rollo of Normandy and
William the Conquer of England.

good purpose for some of the
brethern whose pulpit prayers are
needlessly verbose.
