DISEASE OF THE LIvER.-When the celebrated
DR.. Rush declared that Drunkenness was disease,
he enumerated truth which the experience and
observation of medical men is every dav confirm
ing. The many apparently insane excuses Of
those who indulge in the use of Sprituous liquors,
may be thus accounted for. The true cause of
conduct, which is taken for Infatuaton, is very
frequently diseased state "f The Liver No organ

stead OF applying remedies to the manifestations

Annual Report Of the Secretary OF the
Interior.

This is an able document, giving an interesting
exhibit of the various matters intrusted to the
of the department, over which the Hon. r. Nc
Cleland presides. 1t necessarily, however, en-
braces many facts of general interest given In other
reports particularly those of the General Land
and Patent offices:
The Secretary reiterates his Recommendation
that the officers connected with the survey and sale
Of the public lands be prohibited by law from be-
coming interested in its purchase. He also ad
verts to the Irregularities and inequalities produced
by the numerous and dissimilar existing pension
laws, and recommends some important modfca-
tons with view to uniformity, and also to restore
the system somewhat to the original design of its
projectors, and to increase its benefits and restrict
its operation to those who are really and legt-
mately deserving objects of governmental favor
and protection.
He renews his recommendation Of biennial ex-
animation of invalid pensioners, and cites the sin
gular fact that while applications numerous
and constantly being presented for an increase of
pension on account Of alleged increase Of dsabil-
ity, but two instances have occurred of voluntary
acknowledgment of diminuton of the disease
or wound for which the pension was originally
granted.
The Department has been emnently successful
in ferretting ont and bringing to punishment the
perpetrators of frauds on the Pension Bureau. Up
to the 30th Of September last and since the 4th Of
March, 1883, thirty persons have been indicted.
Of these, ii have been convicted; have forfeited
their recognizanccs and fed has died COM
mitted suicide; have eluded the officers Of the
law, and await trial.
On the 3lst Of March, 1918, the enormous sum
Of $94s475 80 was in the hands of agents for pay
ing pensions alone. This new financial system has
enabled the Secretary Of the Interior to ca in this
amount, 80 that on the 30th Of June last, those
agents only had on hand the aggregate sum Of
SS93,S01 20; an amount amply sufficient for the
prompt payment Of pensions liable to be called for
until other advances are made.
Appropriations are urged for various improve
ments in the District Of Columbia, and also the
erection Of fre-proof buildings for the accommoda-
ton Of the State War, Navy, and Interior Depart
ments and suggests that better application Of a
portion Of the large amount now In the Treasury
cannot be made He also suggests the propriety
Of donating to the city authorities for educational
purposes all the vacant city lots which may not be
needed for public purposes
The work on the Little Falls bridge, and likewise
the Insane Asylum, has been vigorously prosecuted
under the able and accomplished officers respective
ly in charge Of them. The latter win soon be ready
TO receive the patients for whose accommodation its
erection has been authorized. The affairs OF the
penitentiary noticed, and appropriation asked
TO free Il Of an old indebtedness.

The SuSKKS SHrPs AT SEBAsropoL.--It ia claim
edthat the device adapted for removing the mnken
ships from the entrance to the harbor Of Sebasto-
pol, Ia q thoroughly American invention; that the
use feast iron cylinders, with the screw augur-
bits at the lower end Of them and the ignition Of
the powder by battery, are American applications
and that the apparatus employed Is substantially
the same as that used by the American engineer
Mr.. Covers, in removing the steam frigate Mis
soui from Gibraltar harbor, after all attempts Of
English engineers had failed. Abiding to these
facts, the Louisville Journal says:
1.-THE only difference between the cast iron cyl
inders used in removing the American steamer
and those now being taken TO Sebastopol is that
the latter are Of capacity to hold four times IA
much powder as the former This may be ncces-
sary, as the depth of the wnter at Scbastopol 10
nearly three times as great as that at Gibraltar"
