Rabbit hunting in the streets OF
Keokuk is now the popular pastime.
The hunting will be better when the
dog fennel gets little taller down
there.
The river is rising rapidly. Is il
possible that history is to repeat itself
and the Des Moines Valley have an.
other 1S51-'5S? Stranger things have
happened.

Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.
pAINin the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure !;
sometimes the pain is in the left side /;
the patientisrarely abletolie onthe left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-blade, and it frequently
extends to the top of the shoulder, and
is sometimes mistaken for rheuma.
tism in the arm. The stomachis affect
ed with loss of appetite and sickness /;
the bowels in general are costivc,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accompan-
led with dull, heavy sensation in the
back part. There is generally con-
siderable loss of memory, accompan-
led with a painful sensation of having
left undone something which ought to
have been done. A slight, dry cougl,
is sometimes an attendant. The pa
tent complains Of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation ofthe skin ; his spir-
its are low: and although he is salts
fed 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 attendthe disease,
but cases have occurred where few of
them existed, yet examination Of the
body, afterdeath, has shown the LIVER
to have been extensively deranged.

dollars yearly. The other law relates to the
sale of property for unpaid city taxes. Tn
der the previous law the purchaser OF prop
erty sold for these taxes could not get pos
session of the same under two years. by
the provisions of this new law. as it now
stands property on which city taxes are
due will be sold to any party that VIII pur-
chase the same for any period less than TWO
years. The sale gives the purchaser
the right to a writ of possession at once.
This law will also have a beneficial eff
feet. For instance. business houses, ON
which taxes are due, cannot be rented to
tenants until the taxes are paid, for any
one taking the property is liable to be GUST
ed by the party purchasing at the tax sale.
Tenants Will not rent property on which
taxes are due until the same be paid, for
the above named reason. The law will
have a tendency at least to facilitate the
collection of taxes due on all tenantable
property
This may afford some relief but after
all it is reputation, it is throwing the
burden from the city upon the public
creditor, by telling him cireuitously
what means in plain English, you must
pay US all we choose to charge you but
we will pay you nothing Of what we
owe you.
The prevalence of the Reputation
elements in West Tennessee politics is
more to be deplored than wondered at.

INTRIGUE.

In another column we give the state
ment of Mr.. John Young Brown on
the subject of the discussion and cor
respondence which took place between
Messrs. Matthews and Foster on the
one side and Senator Gordon and Mr.
Brown himself on the other, after the
verdict Of the Electoral Commission.
We are disposed to yield full credit
TO the purity Of Mr.. Browns inten-
tions, and indeed, so far as we can see,
10 the intentions of all the correspon-
dents at the same time we are con-
strained to pronounce the whole trans
action a signal iudiscrction on the part
of the two Democrats concerned in it.
On any hypothesis it was an indescre-
ton. Whether we conclude that dill
atory proceedings in Congress were or
were not justifable, that they could or
could not have resulted in the inaugu-
ration of Mr.. Tilden, whether Messrs.
Matthews and Foster were or were not
authorized to speak for Mr.. Hayes
in none of these cases was it wise or
fitting that this correspondence should
have taken place. If these dilatory
proceedings (fllibustering as is tech
nically termed) were Legitimate mode
of defeating the usurpation of the Re-
r,bIican candidates and competent to
effect that purpose then it ought to
have been done, and no aimsy pledges
which bound nobody should have been
allowed to interpose to prevent them
We ourselves believe that they were
neither justified for those who voted
Cor the Commission. nor practically ef-
Gcisnt for the desired purpose and
therefore, as the Democrats had notn-
mo 70 offer they had no reason TO nope
foT anv real concessions from the ne
nnbIican correspondents in considera-
tom of them, and certainly none we're
ofFered. for Messrs. Matthews ana
Foster never once went beyond gensaAi
;mpressions of what they believed MT
HAYES views to be, and studiouSiy
