STREETS. 
Eagan’s improved Macadam PavcnH-nt for stroets 
is destined to take Die place of ail other forms of 
pavement, for the reasons, vl*.; - 
It is cheaper, morn durable, more easily and per¬ 
fectly repaired. Is Impervious to water, and no ut- 
niospherle chimge Will I'lleet it. 
It Is free from mud and dust, and I* noiseless. 
It is smooth without being slippery, and has suf- 
llcient elasticity to make it, the easiest pavement 
known for animals to travel over. 
DURABILITY. 
The reason a Macadam road does not last longer is 
because tiie stones are loose and rub anil grind upOll 
each other dust nnd mud Is the result. Lagan s 
Composition holds the rocks firmly together, thus 
completely remedying Lids evil, and confining the 
wear of lue vend to its nurfaco. 
SIDKWAiiKS. 
Eagan's Composition i« peculiarly adapted for side¬ 
walks and lawn walks, private roadways, gutters, 
etc. It can be made into blocks and laid in squares* 
or diamond form, or tiuuio one routliuioUB iMinc.t, oov - 
ering arched work nmrv perfectly than llio largest

INVESTING MONEY. 
The Northkhx Pacific Rad.roaii Company, through its Financial Agents, offers for sale its First 
Mortgage 7-S0 Gold Bonds. They fall due In 30 years, bear 1 3-10 per cent, gold interest, payable semi¬ 
annually, are exempt from U. 8. tax to the holder, and are secured by first and only mortgage on 
1. The Railroad, its Right of Way, Franchise, Rolling Stock, and other Property. 
2. Its Traffic or Net Earnings. 
3. A Government Grant of Land averaging on completion of the Road about 23,000 acres per mile 
ol' track. 
The Hoad follows what is kpown as the Valley Route to the Pacific, Wanked most of the way hy an 
excellent country, and is assured in advance of a vast and profitable traffic, which already awaits its 
completion. The work of construction is steadily und satisfactorily progressing; the settlement, nf the 
adjacent country and the building of towns keep pace With the advance of the road; a large body of 
the Company’s lands Is already in market, und the proceeds of sales will constitute a Sinking Fund for 
tiie redemption of the Company’s Bonds, which are convertible at DO into the Company's Land* at 
market prices. 
Believing that these Bonds, both In point of safety and profitableness, constitute sucb a security as 
judicious investors can approve, we recommend thorn to the public. Government Bonds and all market¬ 
able securities are received in exchange at current quotations without cost to the investors.

THE GREAT HAT10HAL PAKI~ 
f |R In the Yo-Hemito Valley, when finished und fenced in (I) will be the grand- 
ost pleasure-ground in the world. If it hud u tine medicinal spring, like the 
A «L 'ITTrltlV * sh Sjl (j er niun Seltzer, it would bo perfect. Yet this Is ol no importance, for who 
r|H WwJM tM Pwj K oes anywhere In summer without being provided with 
TOJ rp rp \ TARRANT’S EFFERVESCENT SELTZER APERIENT, 
which is identical iti ita components and its effects with the famous rrus- 
g,!wX.Hhin spa. It Likes hut an Instant to evolve from this preparation the most 
delightful and admirable of all medicinal draught- As a cure for mlious- 
|# m^*F- v ni>“s rheumutism indigestion, constipation, nervousness, etc., und as a 
renovator of the system, It stands alone. Sold by all Druggists, 
ROOFING, 
Made of this composition, is far superior to tlm com¬ 
mon felt roofs that arc made ot gravel, felt, coal-tar 
and pitch. The latter I* liable to run hi warm ell- 
mates and to crack In cold. By the peculiar chem¬ 
ical combinations In Mils composition both of these 
objections are obviated.and a roof produced equal to 
slate, at a cost of about one-third as much nor square. 
CELLAR BOTTOMS AND SIDES, 
Lined with this composition, from one to two inches 
thick, keep perfectly dry and warm in winter and cool 
in summer, and arc rat and vermin proof. 
FLOORS. 
Floors made, of It may be painted any color: nnd 
are as pleasant to tread upon a* it made ot wood. 
CISTERNS AND VATS. 
Kagan’s Composition 1* Impervious to water and In¬ 
soluble in acid*, making It just the thing tor lining 
vats in breweries und manufactories of most kious. 
It Is equally well adapted for cisterns, much hotter 
than the best hydraulic cemOTH*. and not subject to 
decay from any cause. 
PIPING. 
Piping made of Kagan’s Composition has been in use 
for five years In Sun Francisco, Cal., where It was first 
invented. It lias given entire satisfaction, almost 
entirely superseding all other kind* of piping for 
sewers or drains. U I* easily und cheaply made, amt 
lias tiie advantage of being made at any place with¬ 
out a great outlay of money for machinery, tools, 
buildings or uiatctiuls. 
Pipes cun be mndcof any required size, are cheaper, 
and will sustain a greater external or Internal press¬ 
ure than any other kind ot cement pipe. 
(’EM ENT. 
As a cement it is acknowledged, ay scientific mon 
who have examined It, to bo the strongest known. 
A wall built of brick or stone, and til* comon t iuse il 
as a mortar, would be perfectly solid as tl made ox a 
solid rock.
