Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.


DAM in the right side. under the
/ 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 a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, &C
companied with painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of 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 1t. 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-
ranged. $1,000 IL -------.---

COMPLETE SUCCESS OF THE LOUISIANA AD-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF REPUBLICAN
MEMBERS OF THE LEGEsLATURE-AN AM
MATED CANVASS FOR THE sPEARERsHIP-
PINCHBACK's WAR ON PACKARD AND KEEL
LOGG.
The New Orleans special of the st. Louis
Republican telegraphs yesterday mornings
issue of that paper concerning the success OF
the Wheeler compromise of Louisiana af-
fairs: The question of speakership is the all
absorbing topic among the conservatives to-
night, the race being narrowed down to
Witt and Estilette, or the city VS.. the
country. A caucus was held to might at the
ST. Charles Hotel, from which the Estilette
men oolted, leaving As present, and
alter heated discussion vote was reached,
resulting in 81 for Wilt, for Hall and
blank. EStilette then secured the pledge OF
u membe to stick to him, and had sssur
snces from Kellogg and Packard that the
republicans will vots for him solidly.
There is some doubt OF this, however
WIltz claiming that he has twelve repub-
leans who will vote for him, and as yet
! Speaker Hahn has not made Up his mind as
| n his choice of a successor, Notwithstanding
Wheeler, Packard and Kellogg endeavored
TOR some time to get him to espouse
Estilette's cause. The republicans are well
aware that they can not elect one OF their
own members, for if such nomin stion were
made conservatives would vote sOlidly for
Witt, and for that reason would coalesce
with the most liberal conservative sbey can
get. Pinchback Is working among the
negro members for Wilt, and claims that
he will defeat Kellogg and Packard, and II
need be the entire republican adrninistra-
ton. By their action In voting almost
solidly to-day for the Joint resolution recog-
nizing
THE LEGALITY OF THE ELECTION IN 1877,
and declaring that the kellogg government
Is legal, the democrats have conceded even
more than was expected OF them, and as a
matter of course bolted when the radicals
attempted to defeat motion to adjourn,
hey knowing tull we'll that 1t would call
forth party vote on the reorganization
question, and, although majority OF the
| conservatives voted tor adjournment with
\ ak republican members indicating major
\ ty for Wilt, the feeling is in favor of Esti
| lette, an original COMPROMISED, and be I'M
1 ioubtedlv will he elected, majority of bOIb
democrats and republicans having expressed
| themselves in his favor. Three or Jour OF
| the unseatsd radicals made appropriate
| speeches upon gong out, showing that they
/ had been well drilled in the manual of ad-
l iustmeut, and the subsequent appointment
| by Kellogg of these martyrs will not sur
prise anyone here. Packard and kellogg

HUSBAND. WHO WAS NEITHER DEAD NOR

This rafting romance Is reported in the
Chicago Times by telegraph from Fort Mad
ison, Iowa: Some Is months ago, family
by the name of Oaks lived happily together
in Green Bay, a few miles above this city.
During the first OF the winter of 1874. they
had a bcarder, John Gardner, who was
treated as one of the fanny. Ia due time
the head of the family took 1t into his head
% shake off this mortal coil. The blooming
widow then collected her funds together.
and moved to this city. and in few days
was married TO Gardner, scarcely one
month having passed since the de-
cease of Oaks. River navigation opened,
and the newly welded psir moved to La
Crosse. In about a month Mrs. Gardner
came back alone, with the story that her
Iiege lord had deserted her, taking all the
ready cash. and bad died. and thai she was
again a widow. Another man began TO pay
uer attention, and they were soon engaged,
with the day set for the wedding Blu
Gardner in the flesh appeared last week,
aud desired to continue taeir former rela-
lions. but she was not in favor Of recbr
structiou. At this he became wrsthy, and
declared that If they were married, he
would shoot both of them. Then followed
an exciting scsne, which ended in her .goir Q
TO Justice and swearing her life against
him. In the meantime he departed tor parts
unknown. and the gushing grass widow and
her intended have gone TO Burlington TO per
manently reside.
