tho blood Is tlio sumo and Indicates that thoy

AJIHIUCA I8TIIK SIIXINO CAI.IIIION 01' NATIONS.
I think (lod hullt this Amcric.iu continent
and organized this United Stntcs republic to
demonstrate the stupendous Idea of tho lost.
A mnii In Persia will nlwnys remain n Per
sian, n man hi Switzerland will always ro
main a Swiss, n man In Austria will always
remain nn Austrian, but nil foreign national
ities coming to America were Intended to bo
Americans. This land is tho chemical labor
atory wliero foreign bloods nro to bo inextri
cably mixed up nml rnco prejudices nml rnco
antiathies aro to orish, and this sermon is
nn nx by which I hox to help to kill them.
It Is not hard for mo to preach such a ser
mon, liecauso, although my ancestors camo
to this country about two hundred nml llfty
yearn ago, somo of them camo from Wales
and somo from Scotland mid somo from Hol
land and somo from other lauds, and I am a
mlxturo fso many nationalities that 1 feci
nt homo vvttn uoplo from under every sky
and hnvo a right to call them blood relations.
There nro mndcais and patriotic lunatics in
this country, who nro ever and nuou crying
out, "America for Americans!" Down with
tho Germans! Down with tho Irish! Down
with tho .lows! Down with tho Chinese!
nro In somo directions tlio opulnr cries,
all of winch vociferations 1 will drown
out by tho full organ of my text, whllo I pull
out tho stops nud put my foot on tho xlal
that will ojien tho louden ples, and run my
fingers over all tlio four bunks of ivory keys,
playing tlio chant, "Ood hatli mado of ono
blood all nations."
There nro not flvomcii In thtsnudience, nor
flvo men In nny nudicuco today in America
except it lio on an Indian reservation, who
wero not descended from foreigners if you go
far enough hack. Tho only native Americans
nro tho Modocs, tho Slinvvncrs, tlio Chlpiw
was, tlio Chcrokeos, tlio Chle!;aavvs, tin
Scmliioles and such Ilko. If tlio princlpio
America only for Americans lw carried out
then you and I hnvo no right to lw hero anil
wo had tietter charter nil tho steamers' anil
clfpiicrs nnd men-of-war and yachts and
sloois and get out of this country ns quick as
posslblo. Tlio Pilgrim Fathers wero all immi
grants, tho Huguenots nil immigrants. Tho
crndloof most every ono of our families was
rocked on tho bank of tho Clyde, or tho
Rhino, or tho Shannon, or tlio Seine, or tho
Tiber. Had tho watchword "America for
Americans" been nn early and successful cry,
wliero now stand our cities would hnvo stood
Indian wigwams, and canoes instead of steam
ers would have tracked tho Hudson and tho
Connecticut; and instead of tho Mississippi
bcln tho main artery of tlio continent It would
lmvo been only u trough for deer nud otito
lopo nnd wild pigeons to drink nut of. What
makes tho cry of "America for American!."
tliu more absurd nnd tho more Inhuman is
that somo in this country v. ho themselves nr
rived hero In their boyhood or arrived hero
only ono or two generations back are Joining
In tlio cry. I2scncl from foreign d"spotisnis
themselves thoy say, Shut tho door of escape
for others! (jetting themselves on our shores
in n lifeboat from tho shipwreck saying,
Haul tho boat on tho bench nnd let tho rest of
tho passengers go to tho bottom! Men who
lmvo yet on them a Scotch or German or
English or Irish broguo crying out, America
for Americans! What if tho native inhab
itants of heaven, I mean thontigcls, thoclier
ublm, tlio seraphim born there, should stand
in tho guto nml when thoy soo us coming up
nt tho last slum!.! say: "Go back! Heaven
for tho Jleavcinans!"
wnnrtu inn ausi'iiditv is vsjvst.
Of coursj wo do well not to allow foreign
nations to ma!cothlscountry a convict colony.
"Wo would havouwall built as higl-ns heaven

You will g.t ml In the face nnd say "John,

Father of the wholo human race would hear

whether by earthquake or Hood or drought,
or heaven darkening swnrms of locust

child than Is tho South American ami tlio
l;iiroK'nu and tho Asiatic and tlio African.
And I built tills world for nil tho children,
nnd tho arlor isthclrsaudall Is theirs." For,
let me say, w helher we will or not, tho popu
lation of other lauds will como hero, Thero
are harbor all the way from llalllu's bay to
Galveston, and If you shut llfty gates thero
will bo other gates unguarded. And If you
forbid foreigners from coming on tho
steamers they will take sailing vessels. Ami
If you forbid them coming on sailing vessels
they will come In Units And If you will not
let them come In Uinta they will como on
rafts. And If voti will not nllow whnrfago

Stopthemf You 'night ns well passu law

Hut somo of this cry, America for tho

lest this laud Is) overcrowded. Such ier
sons had lietter tako tho Northern Pacific or
Union Pacific or Southern Pacific, or Atlanta

no more than a tenth (iart of this continent Is

larger ratio of Ills farm than our nation is

wholo human raco Euroe, Asia, Africa, and
all the Islrndsof the sea into America, ami
there would bo room to spare. All tho Ilocky
mountain barrcines.ses nnd all tho other
American deserts aro to bo fertilized, and as
Salt Lnko City ami much of Utah onco
yielded not n blade of grass now by artificial
irrigation have Iieco.no gardens, so n largo
part of this continent, that now Is too poor
to grow even n mullein stalk or n Canada
thistle, will through nrtlflcinl irrigation
llko an Illinois pnilrio wnvo with
wheat or like n Wisconsin farm rustle
with corn tassels. ilesido that after
IHMimps a century or two more, when
tills continent is quite well occupied, tho
tides of Immigration will turn the other way.
Politics and government nlfnlrs being cor

laud under different regulation turned Into a ,
garden will invito hack another generation of
Irishmen, and tho wide un.-te of Russia
brought from under dosotUui will with her
own green fields invito back another genera

of thoirauds of Americans every year set
tling on tho other continents. Audnftern
number of centuries, all the cartli full nnd
crowded, what then Well, at that time
somo night u panther meteor wandering
through tho hea-ens will put Its paw on our
world nud stop it, and putting its panther
tooth into the neck of its mountain range
will shako it lifeless ns tlio rat terrier a rat.
So I lmvo no moro fear of America being
overcrowded than that tho iorpoises in tho

It Is through mighty addition of foreign
population to our nntivo imputation that 1

A ItATIONAI. Vir.W IIP TIIK I'AHU
Now III view nf this subject I have two
point blank words to utter, ono suggesting
what foreigner ought to do for us, mid the
other what we ought to do for forolgnci-s.
First, to foreigners. Ijiy aside nil npologetlc
air and realize you havens much rllit as nny
man who whs not only himself Uirn hero, hut
his father r.ud his gi-amllatlivr nud guilt
grandfather before him Aro you an
Englishman1 Though during the revolution
nry war your father treated our father
roughly. I'ligland has mora than utoucil for
that by giving to this country nt least two
denominations of Christians, the Church of
England nnd tlm Methodist church. Witness
tlm magnificent liturgy of tho one and the
Weslejan hallelujahs of the other. And who
shall ever pay England for wlintShal.s.caro
and John Milton ami Wordsworth anil
n thousand other authors have done
for America! Are you a Scotchman!
Thanks for John Knox's I'resbyterlan
Ism, the balance wheel of all other
denominations. And how shall Americans
over pay our native laud for what Thomas
Chalmers and Macintosh nud Robert Hums
nnd Christopher Northiiud Roliert McCheyno
nud Camllish and Guthrie havo douo for
Americans! Aro you a Frenchman! Wo
cannot forget your Ijifayette, who In tho
most des)orato time of our American revo
lution, New York surrendered nnd our armies
(lying In retreat, esKiisod our cause and nt
Uramlywhie uml Monmouth nud Yorktown
put ull America under eternal obligation.
And wo cannot forget tho coining to tho
rcscuo of our fathers Hoclmmhcnu nud his
French licet with six thousand armed men.
Aro you a German! Wo havo not forgotten
tho eleven wounds through which your Huron
Do Kalli Hiurcd out Ids life blood nt tho I lead
of tlm Maryland and Delawaro trisips In
tlio disastrous battlo at Camden, nud lifter
wo have named our streets nnd our cities
nnd our couuticsuftcr him wo havo not paid a
tltho of what wo owo Germany for his valor
nud sell sacrifice. And what nlxiut .Martin
I.uther. tho giant German who made way for
religious liberty for nil lands and ages! Aro
you Polauders! II w can wo forget your
brilliant Count Puhiski, whoso hones wero
laid In Savannah i iver after a mortal wound
gotten whllo in tlm Ulrrups of oil" of tho
llci-ccst cavalry charges of tho American rev
olution! Hut with no time to lurtlculnrk'o I
say, "All hail to the men ami women of other
lands w ho como here with honest purpoMil"
Renounce all obligation to foreign despots.
Take tho oath of American allegiance Get
out your naturalization pnicrs. Don't talk
against our Institutions, for tho faet that you
camo hero r.nd stay shows that you hko our
letter than any oilier If you don't llko them
thero a it steamers going out of our ports al
uiostevery day and tho faro (schcapnud, lest
you should be detained for parting civilities, I
bill you good-by now. Hut if you llko It hero
thou 1 charge you, nt tho liallot Ixix, hi legis
lative In, II, In churches uml everywhere lw
out nud out Americans. Do not try to es
tablish hero the loose fordgn Sabbaths,
or transcendentalism spun Into a religion of
mush and moonshine, or foreign libertinism,
or that condensation of ull thievery, soouii
drcllsm, lust, murder uml orditloii which in
Russia is called nihilism nud In Franco called
communism uml in America called anarch
ism. L'uito with us in making by tho grace
of Ood tho fifteen million square miles of
America on both sides tho Isthmus of Pana
ma tho paradise of virtue ami religion,

My other word suggests what Americans
ought to do for foreigners. Hy all posslblo
means 1,-pInhi to them our institutions. Com
lug here, t he xn-tioajorlty of thum know-about
as much concerning republican or democratic
form or government ns you In the United
States know nliout politic.) of Denmark or
Franco or Italy or Switzerland, namely
nothltig Explain to them that liberty in
tills country means liberty to do right, hut
not liberty to do wrong. Never hi their
presence say anything against their native
land, for, no matter how much they may
havo been oppnvtul there, hi that native
laud there nro sacred places, cabins or man
slons nroiuid whoso doors thoy plajed, and
Icrhups somewhere tin re Is a grave Into
which they would like, when llfo's tolls are
over, to tin let down, for ll Is mother's grave,

tho Imjsuui that first pillowed them.. Myl
my I how low down n man must hnvo de
scended to hnvo no regard for the place where
Ills crndlo was rocked. DcA mock their
broguo or their stumbling attempts 0t the
hardest of all languages to learn, namely tho
English 1 ingiingu. I warrant that they spoak
Euglixh as well as you could talk Scaiiiiuia
vian Treat them in America as you would

est principles urn better livelihood for your
self or your family you had nmvod under tho
shadow of Junfrau or the Rigi, or tlio

'III" Ileal I Ofli'ii Itesls.
It Is tho general Impression nuioug those
who do not stop to consider, that tho heart Is
continually In net Inn, but such Is really very
frr from U'lng tlm faet, for nlsiut one-third
rl of the llfoof tho organ Is passisl In ab
solute rest. Thus it dilutes to rccebe the
blood, It contracts tooxol the blissl, ami ll
rests between tlu"s two ncl Ions. Rv simply
putting the linger on the pulse, tho truth of
tills assertion will bo readily demon! rated
The artery at tho w list, for Instance, w III be
fell to dilate, and then there Is quite an np
prisiablo interval hcfnrn It Is felt again, mid
this marks the tcsso of the heart. This
eiiod varlesgi-eatly hi illllVreut s.rsnnt uml
under dilfereut circumstances, nml some
times, ns In fevers nr conditions of great ex
haustion, the pulsations follow each other
w it li such greii degree of rapidity that the
Interval between them can scarcely ho meas
ured. In other Instances the pulsations arc
so very slow Unit the Impression that tlm
heart has entirely stopHsl may lw obtained
Urdlnarlly and In normal conditions nf the
system uml In adults the pulsations vary hi
iimulier from sixty to eighty hi n minute,
but this rule Li not without Its exceptions, I
hnvo known healthy nrsous hi whom thc
hcartlicats were ns few as forty u minute,
and others hi w houi It exceeded ninety Thej
aro generally Increased hi all crsons by
mental excitement, by stimulating food ni
di ink, or even by an ordinary meal ami bj
physical exercise.
I think ll undoubtedly true that the heart
lieats moro rapidly nt tho present day than
Jtdid llfty years ago a result which must
bo uscrlhcd to the great inuutnl activity of
the age. Ah u consequence tho heart ucarsout
more quickly now than It did with our ances
tors, nud cases of heart weakness and heart
failure, which In former times wero almost
unknown, urouowqulto common. William

Tho nuuoimcemcnl by Horace Orocloy on
tbolld of April, 1UII, that ho projxiscd on tho

incut: "Tho Tribune, as Its iinmo luiirts,

"Yes, I guess so." wns tho reply "What

A man was about to havo n tooth extracted
under the lulliienco of laughing grni, hut, ut

however, when on ocuiiig tlio colllu It wns

From n careful analysis of evidence which
had long liceu in tlm pose.tsloii of tho profes
slon. It was evident that tlio dfts;ts of the
mind upon tho liody wero entirely functional
In character Mot cover, sucli ell'ivts wero
usually qullo evanescent; nud, In so far ns
RTinanent i-hmiges lu tho tissues wero con-i-erued,
tho ovidcuco was nbvilutely iii-gatlvo.
Ilcuco tho prcH)sterous claims of "faith" ami
"mind" healers wero nothing moro than a
cheap erverslon of facts which had liecn
known to tho profession for centuries. Tho
uses to which thoo healers frequently put tlio
credulity nf I heir votaries wns of u highly
h.tiiIc1ous character Tlio upK'iil to motives
of superstition caused such disturbances of
tlio Imagination that isaxms wero frequently

most ordinary rules of hygiene, coupled with
ciillro lack of pros;r imslication, had nlrendy
cost many lives. Dr. Corning did not IhiIIovo
Hint legislative Interference would I hi re
quired In dealing with tho evil. All tho pub
lic required wus thorough ami nuthoiilatlve
enlightenment nt tho hands of i-onqctc!it
momliers or tlm profession. Tlm church
could render imHirtuiit service by condemn
ing the vagaries and iicrvci'slons or doctrine
which were calculated to do harm to the
causo of trim religion among tho educated
classes. As for tho press, It had already, and
would undoubtedly continue to render tin
Krtnnt service hi abating tho evil. Tho
mode of attack would not ussunm tlm form of
crMs'utlon, but would consist In showing
that mental liilhieuces had been empluyisl by
cuuiK!teut physicians hi tho treatment of
functional nervous diseases from u t emote
HMiod. This manner of treating diseases Is,
however merely uilllatlvo, and no exclusive
reliance can Iki places I iimii It; tolHieiris-tlvo
It must always 1st cmploytsl in conjunction
with dijtctlc, mtsliclual ami other otciit In

other organic diseases could Ih cured by men
