Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

Is a constitutional disease n corruption OF the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak. and poor. Being IN the circulation, il
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease on any part of IL. No organ is free
from its attacks nor is there one which il may
not destroy. The scroi'Iloui faint is vaTiously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
.and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all. by the yenercal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation :" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
viii visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulceTous matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, sweilings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcndcrs in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous consfitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other Diseases conse-
quently vast numbers sperish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and. indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply IN

JOHN CHINAMAN's ORDERLY DISPOSE
TIoN COMPARED WITH THE PLAIN WHITE
LABoRERs. Sacramento zeal.
Union says:
owe believe it now generally conceded
that the work on the California end of the
Pacific railroad has been conducted with
far more regularity and good order. if
not dispatch, than on the Union Pacific.
The feat of laying down ten miles of rail
in one day last week astonished the Union
Pacific managers. 1t is also a fact that
the laborers on this end have been much
better behaved and disciplined than ON
the other end of the road. We do not
now call to mind single death by wan
ton violence on the line of the Central Pa
cifc during the past year, while hardly
day had passed on the other end of the
road without some act of atrocity. We
think great deal of this good order and
absence of violence is fairly attributable
to the natural docility of the Chinese race
who have composed great part of the
force on the Central Pacific. Doubtless
much of it is due to the rule which ex-
cluded ardent spirits; but not all. They
have honestly won compliment for good
order, sobriety and good work. which
ought to shame those white ruffians who
are in the habit of traducing their morals
at the same time they are numbering each
other"

Remittent Fever, chill Fever, Dumb
AGue, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Tor the whole class OF a diseases orig Inat-
ing im hillary arrangement, eaused by
the Malaria of Miasmatfc Countries
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with Certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison OF FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment Of the disease, If taken on the first APP
proach OF its premonitory symptoms. Itisnot only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
ton. great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cre of Intermttents is that il contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by il are left as healthy as If
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatic poison. great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gont, Headache, Blind
ness, T0othache, Earache, CGtarTh, Asthma, Pal
pitation Painful 4 fection Of the Spleen, Hyster-
ics Pain IA the BOioeLS, Cole, Paralysis and De
rangeaent of the Stomach, all Of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the Intermittent
type, or become periodical. This CURE expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarous districts. If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed 10 the infection,
that will be excreted from the SYSTEM and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity TO rpen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will suffer from Inter
mittents if they avail themselves Of the protection
this remedy affords.

SINGULAR AppAR1r1oN IN MEMPHIS, TENN

SINGULAR APPARITIoN IN MEMPHIS, TENN.
From the Memphis Avalanche, June Isl
The denizens of that classic locality
known as "HelPs Half Acre." of which
the corner of De Soto and Gayoso streets
is the central point or hub, are ust now
in the highest state of alarm and conster-
nation in consequence of the reported APP
pearance on several occasions recently of
an object In human form, clad In the
vestments of the dead, and presenting a
face more hideous than the yelled prophet,
Khorassan, exposed to his deluded fol-
lowers when they sat at the banquet table
writhing and burning from the effects of
the poisoned wine. 1t was first seen, as
report goes, ON Sunday night last, at the
ghostly hour of twelve, by a couple of
sable lovers who were holding tryst under
the dim light of the street lamp. Slowly
and awfully it stole upon their vision, as
if arising from the ground, first like va
pOr, and assuming form and shape, with
societies eyes, and feshless nostrils emit
ting flames of fire, too horrible to contem-
plate for moment. A long white robe
enveloped the ghostly object, and trailed
in the dust, and a tall hat of the same
color, and shape like sugarloaf, added
more strikingly to the height of the APP
partition. Speech, sign or motion it
made none. The appalled, lovers looked
at it moment and then, afrightened
horror-stricken, fed, alarming the neigh
borhood with their yells and shrieks.
Heads popped out of doors and windows
to inquire the cause of the commotion,
and a few came forth from their houses.
With chattering teeth the frightened
couple stated the cause of their terror
a crowd of all colOrs, ages and sexes,
armed with clubs, pistols, &C., immedi-
ately repaired to the spot designated by
the dusky Romeo, but there was noting
to be seen. They waited In breathless
suspense, keeping respectful distance
from the spot, but still nothing unearthly
appeared. The next night another watch
was instituted with like results. On
Tuesday a few of the curious loitered |
around the GROCERY, at the corner, in |
expectation of a sight of the terrible |
spectre. 1t appeared at last about the
same hour and in the same awful shape |
described above, the only difference being |
that it seemed to come this time from the |
side of house instead of from the
ground. A number of pistols were dis
charged and various missiles were thrown
at the object, but they seemed to meet
with no obstruction. 1t moved not. In
dismay the assailants fed This is all
we know of the affair. The ghostly visi-
tor has not since taken his nightly walk
that any one wots of, and the scene of its
penance or revels is given in a wide cir
cult after reasonable hours. "What is
it," is the question that agitates every
body. What means these ghostly vista
tons? Is it ga spirit of health or goblin

bic for the following:
On Monday evening last, we were told
a joke on young lady, residing not a
hundred miles from here, which is alto
gether too good to keep.-The young la
dy who is spoken of, was on "fying
visit " to one of her near neighbors, on
Sunday last, where there happened to be
a young man on visit, also, who at first
sight, was struck with her maidenly
charms. He succeeded in gaining her
acquaintance, and had spent several hours
in pleasant conversation with her, but, at
last, however, he touched upon a subject
that made her sort of g gritty" He
found that simple words in the presence
OF the company was ofno avail to "soothe
her angry passions, " so stepping softly to
her side, and thinking to be a little
" hifalutin," commenced in the following
strain, which she probably did not rightly
understand: "Miss," said he, "let us
walk in yOnder beautiful meadow, where
the clover is in blossom and the amorous
zephyrs play" "Oh, darn the amorous
heifers," she replied, 81 see enough of

The Geology is eminently calculated to

DIR. Barbee's principles of Geology is
in my opinion an excellent work, well adap-

several divisions seem to be very iudiciously
selected, saving much time and trouble to
