"a healthy liver secretes each day
about two and half pounds Of bile,
which contains great amount Of waste
material taken from the blood When
the liver becomes torpid or congested, il
fails to eliminate this vast amount Of
noxious substance, which, therefore, re-
mains to poison the bloed and be con.
veyed to every part of the system. What
must be the condition of the blood when
il is receiving aud retaining each day
two and half pounds of poisons Ma
ture tries to work of this poison through
other channels and organs-the kidneys,
lungs, akin, etc, but these organs be-
come overtaxed in performing this labor,
in addition to their natural functions,
and cannot long withstand the pressure,
but become variously diseased. 21as
The brain, which is the great electrical
center Of all vitality, is unduly stimu-
lated by the unhealthy blood which
passes to it from the heart, and it fails
to perform its Office BEAUTIFULLY Hence
the symptoms Of bile poisoning, which
are dullness, headache, incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impair
ment Of memory, dizzy, sleepy or neT-
vous feelings, gloomy forehOdings and
irritability of temper. The blood itself
being diseased as IL forms the sweat
upon the surface Of the skin, it is SO irri-
tating and poisonous that it produces
discolored brown spots, pimples, blotches
and other eruptions, sores, boils, car
buncles and scrofulous tumors. The

THE NOMINEE.

The New York Sun. discussing the
probable nominee of the Cincinnati con-
yention, says there are but three names
prominently before tho country for the
nomination to The Presidency by the
Cincinnati convention-Lyman Trum-
bull. David Davis and Charles Francis
Adams. AS the call for the convention
came from the Liberal Republicans OF
Missouri, and as Governor B. Gratz
Brown is their recognized leader, his
name has been sometimes mentioned in
connection with the Cincinnati nomina-
ton. Governor Brown is progressive
statesman and thorough reformer, and
would make an able and honest Presi-
dent; but we believe we do not misrepre-
sent his position in saying that he
does not now wish TO be regarded
as competitor for the chief place on
the Cincinnati ticket. The West, which
takes the lead in this movement to re-
deem the country, viii therefore bring
before the convention only two of its
distinguished citizens, Senator -Trum-
bull and Judge Davis. Which of them
will be likely to draw the greater support
to the ticket2 In considering this ques-
ton we must bear two things in mind;
first that the prime object OF the move
ment is not merely to select an accept
able candidate who will make good
run, but to nominate q man who
can be elected; and secondly, that
though the combination which is
10 support him must be made up
of political elements drawn from both
the great parties, the Democrats are ex-
peeted to supply three-fourths o. the
voters in November. In word, the
Cincinnati Convention does not contem-
plate the organization of third party
hostile TO each Of the existing parties,
but it aims to secure practical co-opera.
ton between the great mass of the Dem
ocracy and the liberal or reform Repub-
lieans, upon the solid, open, honest
ground that those who substantially con-
eur in opinion on the living issues of the
day ought 20 act together.

MEMPHIS THEATER.--La Perichole, Oh
" The Street Singer" a charming opera,
was presented BY the Aimee troupe last
evening. The audience was delighted
and charmed with La Perichole. In the
title role Aimee was irresistible, and fair
ly captivated the entire audience. Tn the
midst of the grotesque acting, charming
solo duet or chorus would be introduced
and sung in a superb manner. As an
actress Aimee has no superior on the
operate stage, and as vocalist she
ranks high among the song-birds. No
thing could be better than her rendition
of the song, 20, What Glorious Feast"
etc. AS Pequillo," Noe was excellent,
as was also Duchesne in the 4" Viceroy
of Peru The feast, after the Barmici-
dean style, was amusing in the extreme,
the stage-play and dialogues being per-
feet. In the last act the Postillion Song,
a duet, was sung by Aimee and Noe in
a style never before heard in Memphis.
The applause of the audience broke out
long before the last note lost its musical
echo. La Perichole is full of musical
gems, and well were they presented last
evening. The chorus is admirably ar
ranged, and the entire affair comes up
to the highestrstand-point of art. Mons.
Zaulig leads the orchestra with taste and
skill.
