vast plain, in coffin, the first covering of which
was of gold the second of silver, and the third
of iron. Along with the body were buried all
the spoils of his enemies-harnesses, enriched
with gold and precious stones, rich stuffs, and
the most valuable articles taken from the palaces
of the kings which he had pillaged and that
the place of his interment might not be known
the Huns put to death, without exception, all
those who had assisted at his funeral. The
Goths had previously done the same for Alaric
who died in the year 4l0, at Cosenza, city Of
Calabria. They turned for some days the course
of the river Vasento, and having caused trench
to be dug in its former channel, where the
stream was usually most rapid, they buried the
king there along with immense treasures. They
put to death all those who had assisted in digging

THE New York Jonrnal Of Commerce, the old
est Democrotic paper in New York city, does not
hesitate to speak its mind of the Democratic
platform "a This out and out reputation of a
solemn obligation, as we understand it, to pay
all the bonded debt in gold. On the question OF
reputation the Democrats are boldly committed
to the baser alternative, and will reach the main
advantage where this heresy is fondy cherished
There is no excuse for such proposition. 1t is
both wicked and disgraceful. The authors
know very we'll that the money was borrowed
with the express understanding that it was to be
repaid in coin, and that anything short of this
is reputation of solemn covenant. Governor
Seymour has always warmly insisted on the OBJ
legation to pay the bonds in gold. The platform
is the very opposite of his well known views.
How the two are to to be reconciled it is not for

hour the patient begins to feel its effect by a

and by the eighth hour the disease is thoroughly
arrested, no matter what stage it may have
reached. 1t can be given at any period of the
disease. A smaller dose for children, according
to their age. One dose is far better than two
vaccinations 1t has been used and is being
used with certainty in every case, arresting the
disease at once. 1t is used in the same manner

AN innocent Ohio delegate inquired recently
how it was, if Seymour's nomination was entirely
unexpected, that finely executed portrait of
the unwilling candidate was ready for the BAN
ner paraded in the streets within an hour after
the nomination. The Buckeye intellect, bewil-
dered by the astonished tactics of New York pol
icians, was not adequate to the explanation of
this curious phenomenon, and we are unable to
give it any assistance in this case. Sometimes a
small and apparently immaterial circumstance
will fasten on a criminal conclusive evidence OF
his guilt. In like manner this Insignificant ban
ner, bearing the unmstakable likeness of the
oft-declining Seymour, and carried through the
streets Immediately after his nomination, will


furnish rrefragable proof that when Mr.. Sey-
mour's friends declared him out of the field,
they knew that they were perpetrating fraud.
