EcRorULA is a faint or infection in the human
organism, which ueakens the vital forces, and
disorders or disarranges the functions OF the
whole system. This faint or infection is most
usually hereditary in the constitution, but it may
also arise from habits of life, unwholesome fsod,
ETC. In time, il this disease does not show itself
in an ulcerous or tuberculous form. it induces
those other diseases, such as consumption, ulcer
atoms of the liver, stomach aud kidneys, salt
rheum. dropsy, etc. The best remedy ever yet
discovered il DR.. Walkers Vegetable Viaegor
Biaers. Ii will cure the disease If not too far i'd
vaneed, and will eradicate the cause.

One of the great triumphs of Homeopathy is the
cure of diseases of DOMESTIC ANIMALS. The
Horse the Cow, Sheep, Dog, and even Hog, are
cured of the several diseases to which they are
subject, by the small doses of Homeopathy, with
a degree of certainty and rapidity that is ANA
King. Some diseases incurabie by the ordinary
means are rapidly cured by this method, while
the ease with which the medicine may be given
and the rapidity of the cure is perfectly delight

subject them to the barbarous fortunes and the

Hora.Io Seymour and Chinese Immisra-
tl0n.
All thoughtful and patriotic Americans must
agree with the views which Governor Sey-
mour presented in his letter to mass meeting
of workngmen at Rochester, on the 4th inst,
as to the immediate and prospective import
ance Of the question of Chinese immigra-
ton to the United States, the danger of open
ing the hoodgates and pouring in upon us the
worst classes of overcrowded China, and the
fact that interest, justice and humanity COM
bine to make it the great end of craftsmanship
to give comfort and plenty to each home and
to take care that labor should be well paid.
We are all opposed to the introduction
of coolie labor and to the revival of
involuntary servitude In any form. But
a recent decree of the Chinese govern
ment has positively forbidden the expectation
Of coolie labor, and our consuls in Chinese
ports have been instructed by our own govern
ment to see to 1t that this decree shall not be
violated by any contractors from America.
Henceforth only voluntary Chinese immigra-
ton to this country will be possible. The
dangers Of an inundation Of barbarism have

classes. 1t may be urged, In palliatIon, that
the demonstration of Sunday was got up by
the roughs, the thieves, the burglars and
mere mob Of such elements of society. But
unfortunately this is not strictly so. These
classes, perhaps, comprised the bulk Of the
crowd, because their sympatnies brought them
there, and they were naturally conspicuous to
every eye; but we find that men holding promi-
nent positions-yea, even in the department to
which the children Of the people look for edu-
cation-were noted as participants in the
procession. This is the serious feature in the
business.
All such public displays are indecorous.
They should not be tolerated. If there be a
remnant of common sense left in the politicians
who got them up they must see how little the
apotheosis of murderer can serve their turn.
But this is not the question. Not only is the
delicacy of the community affronted by these
exhibitions, but the law which metes out
justice to the criminal is openly condemned.
If such displays are repeated we shall be
compelled TO ask the Legislature to frame the
penal code in cases of capital punishment so
as to embrace the rule prevailing in England,
that the body of the condemned muir
