Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure;
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-b blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are CoStive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally q considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought TO have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains Of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred wherefew ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, afterdeath,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.

The Bitter LAKES OfEgypt.

NJ. de Lesseps communicated last
week a paper to the academy of science
in London, on the Bitter Lakes OF the
Isthmus Of Suez One of them has a
salt bank in its center, and one of the
chief problems connected with it was
whether this vast basin could be pro-
vided with a sufficient supply of water,
and how long the operation would take
in consequence of the evaporation and
the absorption of tie soil dried up for
centuries past NJ. de Lesseps states
that no difficulty whatever was expert
enced; the lake had received, in round
numbers, l 800, ,OOO, 900 of cubic meters
in the course of seven months, from the
18th of March 10 the oath Of October,
1869. But long before the lakes were
inundated theoretical writers had Ere-
dicted they would bo dried up again by
the action of the sun, it being impossible
to supply sufficient water by the two
branches of the canal, the sections of
which were too narrow. The proper
ton of salt contained i'm the water rose
considerably from the beginning, and
although the soundings taken at various
periods showed that the dissolution of
the salt bank was the principal cause of
this increase, there was still much doubt
about it. The last Investigations, how
ever, prove that the dissolution con-
tinues. and that the proportion of salt is
visibly diminishing, notwithstanding
this process, combined with the effects
of evaporation. How can the phenOme-
non be explained? 1t can only be done
by the currents. The considerable diff
ference existing between the waters of
the Bitter lakes and those OF the ex-
tremeties of the canal must create
ground currents by which the heavier
waters go TO the sea, while the surface
currents carry lighter waters to the
lakes in order to make up for the loss by
A practical conclusion
may be drawn from these results which
only confirm the principle OF equilibrium
of vessels communicating with each
other it is this, that a comparatively
small orifice suffices TO prevent vast
sheets of salt water, however far from
the sea, concentrating under the solar
influences in hot countries.

He died in the City of Mexico on the
2Sth ult. Thus has closed a career rs
Chequered as that of the hero of a ro-
nance, and ended, perhaps, the most
eventful life on this continent during the
present century. near the commencement
of which his military adventures began.
His successes against the rOyalists gave
him the command of Vera Cruz in 1922,
but he was dismissed Tor insubOrdination
and revenged himself by aiding the over
throw of the Emperor Iturbide. In 1928
he evertbrew the Pedraza administration
and became minister of war and COM
mander of the Mexican army. He was
elected president in 1888. Three years
after he took the field in person to sup
press the insurrection in Texas.
He was routed by Sam Houston at San
JaciEtO and taken prisoner. In 1887 he
lost mis- leg at the bombardment of Vera
Cruz, by the French. He was there
after president until depOsed by revO-
luton in 1845, when he took up his resi-
dence in Cuba. In the following year
he was again president, and at the head
of the Mexican army he attacked the
American troops under Taylor, and was
repulsed, and again at Cerro Gordo by
Scott. He was in most of the important
battles of the war to its close, when he
went to reside iii Jamaica. He returned
to Mexico in 1853 and was again ap-
pointed president. DePosed by the Al
varez re volution, he removed to Cuba
and afterwards spent two years in Ven
ezuela. He returned to Mexico during
the late French invasion, but was ban
ished by Gen. Bazaine in 1864. Maxi
milan, however, appointed him Grand
Marshal, but in less than year he WAS
implicated in conspiracy against the
emperor. aud withdrew to st. Thomas.
In 1867 he made his last attempt to gain
ascendency in Mexico, but was taken
prisoner at. Vera Cruz and condemned
to death Juarez pard.ned him on con-
dition of his quitting Mexico, and he
anne to the United States. But since
the death of Juarez he had been living
quietly in seclusion in the City OF Mexico,
up to the time of his death. 1t is said
he contemplated a journey overland TO
the Philadelphia Centennial this summer.

DARING RAILWAY ROBBERY
On the Missouri Pacific Road. Near Otter
vile, MO.-A Body of Masked Men
stop the Train and Rob

Another railroad robbery took place
in western Missouri on the night of the
9TH instant, esualling in all respects, and
excelling in many, any one on record.
From accounts given by passengers and
railroad men the following facts are
cleaned: The eastward bound train on
the Missouri Pacific road left Ottervhle,
Mo-, a few minutes past 10 O'Clock.
When two and a half miles east of that
place, and in a deep cut, the engineer
saw signal light to stop. Thinking
some obstruction was on the track he
applied the air-brake, and after running
a few yards discovered a pile of ties and
lumber on the track. He compTehended
the situation at once, but could not stop
the train. and it was not till the locOmO-
tive had climbed partly upon this pile
of ties that the train came to stand.
At the same instant twelve or fifteen
men appeared, and with terrific yells and
discharging pistols dashed at the train
proclaiming their intention. Two jumped
on the engine, and with navy revolvers
covered the engineer and tiremen and
threatened to kill them if they offered
resistance. They were then marched
into the baggage car and placed under
guard. At the same time three other
robbers climbed into the express car, by
a side door which was open. Bushnell,
the express messenger, however, had
been too quick for them, and had dashed
through the train to the rear sleep
ing car, and giving his safe keys to
a brakeman made him put them
in his shoes. Mr.. Conkling, the bag
gage man of the train, was in the express
car when the robbers entered, and they
demanded of him the keys of the safes,
he told them he was not the messenger
and had no keys, two of the robbers
then put Conkling in front OF them, and
with revolvers at his head marched him
through the entire train, demanding that
he should point out the messenger when
they came to him. In this way they
passed through the entire train to the
terror of the women and children, and
great fear of male passengers, many of
whom had crouched down under the
seats, and hid themselves various ways.
Arriving at the rear sleeper, Conkling
pointed out Bushnell, and the robbers
demanded the safe keys of him. Under
circumstances there was nothing to do
but yield, and Bushnell took the keys
from the brakeman and handed them to
the robbers. One of the latter then
stood guard over BushRell, while the
other marched Conkling back to the ex-
press car, when they opened the Adams
safe, put the entire contents into wheat
sack they had brought for the purpose.
The herald and mail. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1873-188?, 1876-07-21

Not being able to open the other safes
with the keys they had got from Bush
nell, one man went to the engine
and got a pick, and with this
broke one of the panels of the safe, and
its contents were put into sack also.
The robbers then took the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad box and broke
it open but finding nothing they want
ed, scattered the letters over the floor of
the car. They also went over to the
Adams freight car, but found nothing
there that seemed to be worthy of their
notice. While these acts were being
performed, the remainder of the robbers
were making night hideous by marching
up and down outside of the train, yell
ing like devils, and firing off their pis-
tolls. In this way the passengers were
completely terrified, and not the least
show of resistance was made by them.
When their work was done they left
the scene of their daring exploit and
departed in a southerly direction. So
far as can be learned the Adams express
company, lose some $4,000 and the
United States company about $4,000,
but these amounts may prove to- be too
small. All the robbers wore masks
while at the train, and therefore none
of them were recognized, and SO far as
now known no clue TO their identity has
heen obtained

The secretary of war has received large
number of dispatches from the west, offer
ing volunteers for the Indian, but there is no
provision of law which will admit of these
offers being entertained. Up to noon no
official reports from the Indian country had
reached the war department.
The seekers after hidden treasure are
again at work in East river, after rest of
three years, endeavoring to recover the
money which went down in the frigate Hus-
sar in November, 1880. The treasure
amounts,to $4, 800, ,OOO, if the mermaids haven't
made way with any of it, and was brought
here to pay off the British troops. The
British government sent two vessels here in
1894 to recover the money, but after two
seasons of unsuccessful labor one of them
sank and the other was driven off by the
American government. A systematic effort
will now be made with the best of improved
machinery to secure the spoil, which lies in
one hundred feet of water, covered with
kcntledge and shingle ballast, which the ac.
tion of the water has consolidated into a
dense mass, impervious to any less perSua-
sive influence than powder or dynamite.

George Francis Train Heard From.
New York Letter.


Feeding the sparrows, playing with
children, or vacantly surveying the pass
ing throng in Madison square, a man
who once made much fruitless noise in
the world, but who is now as quiet as a
mute-George Francis Train-may be
seen daily enjoying the sunshine and
possibly turning in his own mighty mind
many schemes for the benefit of man
kind. The once irrepressible George has
become almost as silent as the grave.
The VesuviaD fire that was wont to make
a thunderous crater of him seems to have
burned itself out. He has apparently
come to the condition of the jolly old
miller of the song, who cared for nobody,
no not he, and nobody cared for him.
Fl now contents himself with passing
his DAYS in Madison square and his
NIGHTS in Turkish bath establishment
near bv, in which he boards. He has
grown gray, but il is evident that the
quiet life he leads agrees with him, forhe
is falling into flesh and looking strong
and hearty. Since his release from the
Tombs where, as he insists, he was kept
so long through the influence of Ply
mouth church, he has eschewed public
affairs altogether, and not even once an
nounced himself a candidate for presi-
dent. A few months ago he joined the
noble army of bankrupts and stated in
court that his wife pays his board, but
the financial reverse does not seem to
prev on his mind to any great extent.
He looks happy enough at all events,
and his life during the past couple
of wears is the smOothest he has ever
Known.
