The importation Of rags from the Medter-
sranean, hides from Brazil, and other commodi-
ties from the tropics, is known to bring the
germs Of disease, chiefly fevers, which are
sometimes very affecting and fatal. Ayers
Ague Cure stimulates the Liver to excrete
these germs from the system as effectually as
it does the miasmatic poison of onr Ague dis
tricts. Consequently it affords invaluable pro-
lection to stevedores and others whose occupa.
tions expose them to these dangerous inteo-
tions; and we hope to render them valuable
service in giving them this International New
York Despatch. W l.A sept20 -ed1w

Act to further provide for giving effect
to tie various grants Of public lands to
the State of Nevada" which, as Sem
ator Stewart wrote on the 9th inst, had
passed both Houses of Congress, and is,
doubtless. law. You say it would
seem to promise such advantages as
should induce the next Legislature to
frame a law under which the requisite
surveys, sales and conveyances can be
made" An excellent law Except that
it contains one or two Objectionable
features the most Objectionable, how
ever, rendered nugatory by the interpre-
tatiou of the Board of Regents and At

partially in operation since April >.

The SOUTHERN VOTE IN THE
ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

The promised success of the Congress
ional plan Of Reconstruction carries with
1t tie incidental assurance of a Re
publican representation from the South
il the electoral college. We get this
assurance from the requirement by Con-
Cress of the. condition precedent that
the lately rebeilious States shall adopt
the Constitutional Amendments propo-
sed by the seth Congress. The third
section of those amendments excludes
from the electoral college any person
who, having previously taken an oath
as a Member of Congress, or as an Off
Ger of the United States, or as mem
Der of auv State Legislature, or as an
executive or judicial officer Of any State
TO supper: the Constitution Of the United
States, shall have engaged in insurrec
ton or rebellion against the same, &c.
This disability is made removable by
two-thiris vote OF Congress. Now, liz
order that these amendments may be
made valid as part Of the Constitution,
it is necessary that they should be rati-
fed By three four:hs Of tie Legislatures
OF the various States. There are thirty
screen members disabled and alp OF the
Federal Csion. OF this number either
twenty-sour or twenty-five ofthe States
have so ratified. There are tweLty-f0ur.
lincluding Florida and Arkansas which
have Just given tie amen euts the re-
quisite legislative snnctionl or twenty
five if Connecticut (of which we are
rot sure} also ratified. Bat there are
tweu't-f5ur STATES sure. This leaves
four 10 gaia. There is every reason for I
believing that c eorgia, Worth and South |
Carolina and Louisiana " i'll speedily &C /
cord I'd e amendments favora Die action. +
aud when they do, the thing is cleucbe d.
1t is very SAFE TO conclude that 20 South

much talk is now denounced by Newark

but that was all. 1t was announced to

The demand for cheap shoes has been
so pressing of late years, says the Lynn Re
porter, that it has induced the most rigid
economy in the manufacture. Hardly a
scrap of leather Swallowed to go to waste
The wagon loads of odds and ends made
in cutting, the refuse of splitting machines,
are all worked up again into that kind of
leather known as pancake" This is
made by FASTING and pressing together the
scraps of which We have spoken. This
being rolled and dried, is made to do SER
vice, in the cheapest grades of shoes, as
inner sole leather, or as lifts for heels
So skillful are these operations performed
that sometimes the substitute is, for some
purposes, almost as good as the genuine
article. Some firms do large business in
the manufacture of "pancake," which is
accomplished by powerful machinery driv-
en- by steam

The Philadelphia Ledger, commenting on
the report of the Pennsylvania Hospital
for Insane, says: The number of insane
persons of any trade, profession or pur.
suit should be compared with the whole
number of persons similarly employed, In
order to get at the bearing of any employ
ment on the health of the mind. In the
report under consideration, where the occu-
pations Of two thousand six hundred and
ninety male patients are gwen, there are
but three hundred and ffty-three farmers
1t is true that they outnumber the patients
OF any other ono vocation; but to show
that farmers are more pre- disposed to In
sanity than others, they should outnumber
all others. The fact is, as any comparison
of the figures will show, that farmers are
far less likely to arrangement Of the mind
than almost any other persons. In similar
ways, what are known IS "the learned
professions have been held to be less
disposed toward insanity, because there
are few persons from those professions set
down in the statistics; yet, out of the
foregoing 1000 patients whose occupations
are given, there are no less than 27S doc,
tors, lawyers, clergymen, teachers and
students The students alone number
eighty eight. Now, if we compare the
small number of doctors, ministers, law
yers, teachers and students with the ag-
gregate of all other occupations, 1t Will
easily be seen that these professions,
through the wear and tear of mind, unfor-
tunately furnish great many more cases
of insanity than is due to their numbers
The numerous class of laborers furnish
only 1879 out of 1899, against 278 from
the learned professions, as above stated

Some people think that Chronic Dyspepsia may
