Among the list of chronic diseases which
affect the human frame catarrh is the one
most prevalent, most offensive, most pro-
ductive of discomfort, and most liable to a
variety of dangerous and distressing compli-
cations.


Thousands are annually hastened to a
premature grave from its pernicious effects,
and no doubt thousands are at this moment
slowly perishing under its fatal influence,
ignorant of the cause of..their declining health.
1t was, in fact, the destructive influence of this
disease and its alarming prevalence that first
attracted the writer's attention, and 1t is with
pardonable pride that he refers to the fact of
having been the first physician who made this
dist a a special study, ana originated a sys-
tenn of treatment calculated to effect q radical
and permanent cure.


Catarrh manifests itself by discharge from
the head, varying in its nature in different
cases, and even in the same individual at dif-
feTent times. 1t may be thin, colorless ,acrid
fUid, or a elary, starch.like substance; gen.
orally, however, it is thick, purulent, or
muco- purulent matter, either greenish- yellow
or of deep green tint, occasionally streaked
or fecked with blood. So copious and Often
sive is the discharge In many cases that the
patient feels as though the whole head was in
state of corruption.


Much of the discharge passes backward into
the throat, or collects as a tough, viscid
phlegm behind and above the soft palate, in
the passage between the throat and the head
creating a constant and almost irresistible de-
sire to obtain relief by "haWking," practice
Characteristic of catarrh, aad as embarrassing
to the one affected as it is dsagreeable to those
around. Often the phlegm is SO tenacious
that the most persistent and exhaustive efforts
fail TO dislodge it until some food or stimulant
is swallowed.


Again the offensive matter deposits itself IN
the nasal cavities in the shape of dry, hard
crusts, which, in some cases, accumulates to
such an extent as to form regular plug, OBJ
structing breathing and producing serious dis
comfort. This condition is indicative of ulcer
alton, which in time may destroy the bony
structure of the nose, and produce It's subse-
quent fattening.


The breath is always tainted, and some
times is SO revoltingly offensive as to render
the sufferer an object of disgust to himself as
well as to others, and cases are occasionally
met with in which the stencil is really over
poweriDg, and sufficiently fetid to poison the
atmosphere of a whole room. Thus person
affected with catsrrh lives continually in an
impure atmosphere of his own surrounding,
ard inhales a poisonous etiuyia with every
breath.

The people of Peru are whimsical.
A month ago the citizens of Lima car
ried President Pardo through the streets
proclaiming him the country's savior;
a week ago they attacked his house with
stones, and would have borne him
through the streets on rail had not
Pardo and two of his ministers led a
bold attack upon the rioting populace.
The change in sentiment is probably
due to some expression of the President
upon public measures.

Probably those who have been processing the
most doubt about the position OF Carl Schurz
in the Presidential campaign, have really felt
least. Certainly, since the day Hendricks
was nominated there was never reason Tor
any doubt at all. The whole logic Of the posi-
ton. the whole record of the ex-senator
pointed plainly to but one possible course.
When Gov. Hayes became the champion OF
hard money in Ohio, Mr.. Schnz headed the
column Of reGnforcements for him which car
ried The day. When he became as conspicously
the champion Of the same cause on wider
field, there could be no doubt ms to the banner
under which Mr.. Scbun must fight. Since,
however, some people are still protesting to
have doubts, we take the liberty to dispose Of
them by printing tho following extract from a
private letter just received from Senator

  BETTER SCHOOL FACILI-

 TIES.

 We clip the following from the American Journal of Education, and we would especially and emphatically commend it to the consideration of our next lcgisla- ture. Our school law and our system of free school IS pronoun- ced very defective, and we trust this great interest will have the earnest attention of the gentle men who shall compose our next legislature:

 The issue is before us. We must look to our interest. What must this state do? Why are not her resources developed? She is now suffering financially because she has done so little for common school education. l advocate a much higher school tax than has heretofore been assessed.

 What makes the wealth of New England? Her schools and churches. What has, turned her rocks and streams into wealth? The intellect of her people train cd and developed by her system of common school education, and . pure, pra.icle, Gospel ministry.

 I call on you, fellow citizens, to rally around popular education. Every dollar invested for this purpose is so much added to the wealth Of our State.

 If we give literally te this i'm portant object, our property will be enhanced in value, there will be greater confidence and sccuri- ty in the community, and the vast treasures now hidden in our mountain region will De brought to light, and utilized to the moral soc,ai and intellectual progress of our people.

patentee of the plow, is practical
worker in iron of number OF years ex-

under his direction, while the wood work
is done under the supervision of Mr..
Major. The lathe work, polishing, turn
ing, etc. is all done by steam, tor which

with the plow factory the firm will do n
large business in the manufacture OF
wagons and carriages, to which industry
the rear part OF their spacious buildings
will be devoted. They have just got into
full running order and expect to turn out
from forty to fifty plows complete per

We wish to give little good advice to the
democrats They have great deal at stake
just now; but very little imprudence or
impatience may spoil all their hopes.
Though the country has given them con-
siderable and perhaps a predominant
vote in the election, they must not
forget that it has done 80 with mis-
givings and doubts, and less because
it believes in them than because it has got
tired Of republican mismanagement. It
keeps its eyes on the democrats and is very
ready, extremely ready, to resent the least
misconduct on their part.


We advise them, too, to remember that Of
the large popular vote which they have OBJ
tanned in the election only an insignificant
proportion was cast by the Northern States.
They have majorities in only four cut OF
twenty-five Northern States and this shows
how far they are from having established
themselves in the confidence of the North.


If they are wise they will not impair this
confidence by any misconduct, by rash Ian
guage, or by needless and indecent mis-
trust They may be assured that the coun-
try has not forgotten that on the democratic
party rests the guilt of the rebellion; that

believe that the expectation of ransom with
which the crime was planned would have led

If they had succeeded in concealing their

Last night the most important exhibition
of art ever held in America was brought
to close at the Academy of Design and
Metropolitan Museum of Art, after a career
80 successful that it fairly astonished its orgi-
nators. 1t was q magnificent proof of the
cultivated taste andSpublic spirit of the
wealthy citizens of New York that they took
from their houses priceless treasures of art
to place them at the service of their less for
tunate fellow citizens and offer new source
Of pleasure to our country and foreign Wis
itors. The exhibition was also intended
to do a desirable work in helping to
pay off the debts of the Academy of Design
and of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and
this important work it has practically &C
complished. During the time the Loan
Exhibition has been open to the public
more than one hundred and sixty thousand
persons have visited it. An interest has
been shown in the art works unpre-
cedented in the history of art in America.
The total receipts from all sources will be
close on fifty.onc thousand dollars. Whether
educational or tho financial point of
view it must DO pronounced fattering sue
cess. Too much honor cannot be given to
gentlemen like Messrs. Sherwood, Belmont
and Taylor, who began the good work and
carried it to such a splendid issue. The
artists WHO co-operated may also congratu-
late themselves on the result. 1t did good
service also in giving our foreign visitors q

We understand that some prominent DEM
ocrats complain of the order issued yester-
day by General Grant supplying troops to
the federal commanders in Louisiana and
Florida. They are reported to say that in
this the President is violating the constitu-
ton.


The President of the United States has the
constitutional right to send troops into any
State, county or township in the United
States at any time, to quarter them there as
long as he pleases and to move them about
as he thinks the public service shall demand.
In sending troops to General Augur in
Louisiana at this moment the President
acts most wisely. There is in that State,
naturally, an extreme condition Of excite
ment it is of the greatest importance that
order shall be maintained until the dispute
about the election is settled. The mere pres
ence Of the troops will restrain the passions
Of both sides. The soldiers can do nothing
to influence the result one way or another.
The election has been held.s The votes are
cast. The returns are by this time in New
Orleans, where they will be canvassed in
the presence of leading men of both parties
from the North, and all complaints will
have hearing. 1t is mere folly, under
these circumstances, to suspect or i'm
pugn the motives of the President
in sending troops to the State. When Cen
eral Grant allowed Governor Chamberlain
to use troops before the election in South
Carolina the HERALD was the first to declare
that he had committed an error, o political
blunder. and we do not doubt that this
act of the administration did lose
the republicans thousands Of votes.
But even then it did not occur
to us to assert that the President had
no constitutional right to quarter United
States troops in any State of the Union. We
advise our democratic friends to keep cool
They made mistake in 1861 which has cost
