- The riots occasioned by, and
accompanyingthe strikes for high
er wages On the Northern and Yves
tern Railroads., between the Hud-
son aud Mississippi rivers, t"geth
err with the immense destruction
of property at different points,
teaches some important lessons
that should not be overlooked.
For the last ten years such bla.
tant demagogues as Blaine, Lo-
gan, Morton, SC, have been edu-
eating the people OF the Northto
consider rascality a virtue, to es
TEEN public theft an evidence of
early piety, to trample all laws
and justice under loot, in order to
accomplish their Infamous ends
and purposes to be a commenda-
Die trait, and winding up by install
ing a notorious fraud in the chair
of the Presidency, who is no more
entitled to that. position, than heis
to the throne of Russia. Such les
sons are exhibiting their legitim-
ate fruits, in these terrible riots.
And now whilst the men who
have been listening to the venom
ousitirades Of abuses and ISLANDERS,
which these viperous tongues
have been hurting upon the heads
of the people Of the South, for ten
years, are burning and destroying
their neighbours property, the
slandered and villified Souther-
ners are quietly attending to their
own business. Peace and tranquil
lily reign triumphant mere, whilst
every one is contented and salts
fed. BY their fruits We shall know
them.

A Result Of <~Ss.truc1cu keigcs-
ton.

Among the hurtin! consequences of OBJ
structed digestion. is the impOverishment
of the blood, and since a deteriative condi.
ton of the vital fluid not only produces
dangerous organic weakness, but, accord
ing to the best medical authorities, some
times causes asphyxia, it is apparent that
to improve the quality of the blood by pro
noting digestion and assimilation, is wise
p%recaution. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
precisely the remedy for this purpose,
since it stimulates the gastric juices, con
quors those bilious and evacuative irregu-
~larities which interfere with the digestive
processes, promotes assimilation OF the food
by the blood, and puliiies. as well as Ell
riches it. The signs of improvement i'll
