should be of interest to the farmer.
We shall have to depend, in a great
measure, upon our exchanges, but
We shall endeavor to Gull only such
matter as will be read with interest,
and such 40 emanstes from the best
authorities. We would be pleased
to have our planters, or others SO in

which could be made of service to
their GO workers In any OF the seve
raj branches Of farming A pro-
gressiys farmer will readily admit
that the results ofan enlightened ex

Ing out to US the advantages OF q

: Ayers Pills have been known for
more than quarter of 4 century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs Of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc.
tons within their range can rarely With
stand or eyade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every.
body, but also, formidable, and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for; children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common: purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not iniamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness. "a z -

all climates, containing neither ealomel

be taken with safety by anybody. Their

being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

No Use for the Chinese.

WAsHISGroS, March l9.-The special
report on the Chinese emigration ques.
ton OF the House committee appointed
to inquire into the causes Of the labor
depression was submitted to-day. The
majority report is signed by Hendrick
b. Wright, Mnch, Dlckey and o'Conner
and was accompanied by two minority
reports. The majority report finds that
Chinese immigration Is destroying the
trade and materially affecting the busi-
ness of San Francisco and the Pacific
cDast. The subject Is assuming an
alarming importance. The Pacific coast
Is hostile TO immigration, and especially
San Francisco. where a population OF
$4,000 or 10000 Chinese are located in
the heart OF the city. This Asiatic ele-
ment are governed. by their own laws,
living in dirt and filth and evading all
responsibility OF municipal taxation.
The majority recommend as tempora.
~ measure of relief that the bill of the
last session limiting the landing of but
fifteen Chinese upon one vessel be
adopted by Congress, leaving out the
two sections engrafted BY the Senate
upon the bill which recommended the
abrogation Of our treaty with China and
which was, the report says, probably the
cause of the bill being vetoed by the
President.
