Several years ago there was quite
a scandal because the Prince OF
Wales married during the season of
Lent, which, according to the church
authorities, was quite uncanonical.
Since then, as if to mock her dis
pleasure of the clerical Interference,
the Queen has, as a rule, held her
drawing rooms" on Fridays, to
which the clergy have also objected.
And, now. us though to bring mat
ters to a crisis, the marriage of the
Princess Louise has been fixed to
to take place not only III Lent, but
on Friday. Already the Archbishop
Of Canterbury and the Bishops OF
London and Oxford have sent in re
monstranee, and it remains to be
seen whether Her Majesty will sue
cumb TO the pressure thus put upon
her. To outsiders it seems odd
that, while marriages are solemnized
on Sundays, there should be any OBJ
lection to Friday, even though it oc-
Cured in Lent. It is generally be-
lieyed that the marriage will
take place ON the day already select

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

p Symptomsof a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top Of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss Of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
y sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
considerable loss Of memory, ac-
companied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tcndant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of a prickly sensa-
ton Of the skin his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he. dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination Of
the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively de.
