Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN 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 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 aconsiderable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought 10 have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bihty; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold Or burning, and he complains of
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
arc 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
nave occurred where few ofthem existed,
vt termination ofthe body, after death,
aas shown the LIVER to have been eX
tcnsively deranged.

A resolution was then offered, as follows:
ReSoIUed, That the New York delegation cast
their vote as a unit until by a majority vote a
reconsideration shall be agreed upon.
The resolution was passed after much dis
cussion, after which Col. Easton introduced
the following:
ReSolUed, That when twenty-five of this
delegation request privilege to retire from
the convention for consultation, the motion to
reconsider the unit vote shall be in order for
discussion.
Anything to Beat TiIden.
ST. LOUIS, June 26-103 O-The hopes of the
opponents of Tilden now centre around Penn
sylvania. This state has resolved to vote solid
for Hancock and to continue to vote for him
with no second choce behind. This action they
think will draw to their support enough states
on the second ballot to prevent the nomination
OF Tllden, and then William Allen of Ohio
being out of the way that state would be added
to the Hancock column and be followed later
by Hendricks supporters. If lie should succeed
pennsylvania would be able to give the second
place to Hon. Thomas Ewing. The friends of
Hendricks evidently see the critical nature of
the situation and are aiding in the effort to
prevent twO-thrds vote for Tilden. That
now is the only hope left to the opp onepts of
the New York candidate. The count for Tilden
on the first ballot now exceeds 400. The Tam
many leaders are so much discouraged as to be
about ready to give up the contest and at this
hour it looks as though Tilden would sweep
the field.
A TiIden Victory.
At a meeting of the national committee
Henry Watterson. editor of the Louisville
Courier-J ournal, was selected as temporary
chairman OF the convention. This was the first
victory for Tilden.
At meeting of editors of German Demo
cratic newspapers and Independents this even
ing resolutions were adopted against partisan
war of section on section but in favor of Wig
orous war on corruption, in favor of hard
money, a tariff for revenue only, against the
proposed school amendment, denouncing the
corruption in the public service, repudiating
the "spols" system aud in favor of the nomin.

and arraigns his railway record with severity
which will make it a hard task to fall into line,
should he be ultimately selected. If the
attacks of the Express were credited by any
considerable number of people, there would
be a summary end of Gov. Tilden's aspi-
rations. But these eleventh hour assaults do
not appear to do the smallest possible damage
and it is doubtful whether this one will infu-
ence vote in the convention. 1t is a sad
thing but the newspaper is Enthusiastically
dropping out of the category of reformatory
agencies by which moral ideas are to be ad
vanced and strengthened in the land. There
has been so much Misrepresentation, cal
jimmy and foolish babble IN this class of our
current literature, that the difficulty of thresh-
ing an occasional grain of truth out of a vast
quantity of false chaff has led to a general con-
signing of the whole mass to the rubbish heap.
If Mr.. Tilden fails finally to secure the requisite
two-thirds majority it will not be on account of
any newspaper abuse of him, but for the rea-
son that his party, willing to stoop to anything
to win, are prepared to cater to the infationist
tendencies of the North West With view of
getting the fifty electoral votes they require
after scoring up the entire Southern
States in several of which the Repub-
lican majority is so large that if
ninety-fve per cent. of it were suffered to be
polled, no Democrat could come anywhere
near an election. This is certainly true of
Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina,
whose % votes cannot be given for the Demo-
cratic candidate except by intimidation and
fraud. 1t is to be hoped for the sake of the
peace of the country as well as of its honor,
that no President will take his seat by virtue
of suffrages obtained by trampling out the
rights conferred upon the people by the Consti-
tuition of the land. That would be a national
calamity, no matter which party was for the
moment the gamer by it. YARMOUTH.

THE HARPERs.-In the list of subscril ers to
the Centennial Celebration fund published on
Saturday, the name of Harper g. Brothers an
pears as 'Harpei Brothers & Co." In view of
the fact that of the original brothers only
Fletcher Harper survives, and that the firm
now embraces about dozen SONS and grand
sons, the newly axtemporized firm name may
be supposed to mean "Harper Brothers and
Cousins" Such title would not be more sip
gular than are many things about this great
house. The original firm of James and John
Harper had no articles of copartnership. Each
member drew what he liked for family expen-
ses, and the profits of the concern were always
relnyested in the business. No personal ac-
counts were kept after the younger brothers,
Wesley and Fletcher were taken into the
house, and the profits still go to swell the now
immense capital. Fletcher, the youngest and
surviving brother, used to say loosely to his
brothers that they cheated him by demanding
$1,000 for his admission to the partnership.
The partnership is now limited to the male
members of the families, the daughters receiving
bowers on marrying; thus the firm is always TO
remain Harper & Brothers. The surnames of
the original brothers are continued with religi-
GUS accuracy, so that there are several Josephs
two or three Fletchers, two or more Johns,
&c, who are distinguished in the familiar Ian
guage of their own counting room by such
titles as Brooklyn Joe," because he lives in
Brooklyn. "Joe 22nd," because of his resi-
dence in Twenty-second-st.), "Joe Abner," the
"ColonePs john (son of Col. John Harper,
so-called,- to distinguish him from Fifth
Avenue Jack" since dead), and "Fetch jr.,"
and "Fietch. 2nd," son and grandson of 1.-THE
Major, who is never called Fletcher at all.
There are several other distinctive nick-names
which we do not recall. The firm have many
of the characteristics of Dickens "Cherryble
Brothers" including a veritable Tim Linkin-
water in the cashier, Demarest, who does
pretty much as he pleases, abuses the firm from
senior to junior, whenever he feels like it, and
is one of the best natured and best hearted and
most popular fellows in the world. In revenge
the firm occasionally conspire to play such
practical jokes on Tim as banishing him for
Summer trips to Europe with $4,000 for ex-
penses. "o1ly to get rid of him. Altogether
it is a very happy commercial family.-New
