SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
pAIN in the right side, under the edge
l of the ribs, increases on pressure
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patientisrarely 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 sometimes mistaken for a rheuma-
tism in the arm. The stomach is affect
ed with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowelsin general are costive, some
times alternative with lax; the headis
troubled with pain, accompanied with
dull, heavy sensation in the backpart.
There is generally considerable loss
of memory, accompanied with pain
full 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 debility he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains ola prickly sensation
ofthe skin his spirits are low: and al
though he is satisfied that exercise
would be beneficial to him, yet he can
scarcely summon up fortitude enough
to tryit. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edy. Several Of the above symptoms
attend the disease, but cases have oc-
Cured where few Of them existed, yet
examination of the body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.

A Remarkable Cow.

The champion cow Of the country is
odd Dreamer" owned by Gen. Hunger
ford, Of Elmira, New York. At the last
meeting Of the New York Dairymen's
Association, she was the occasion of
much discussion (says cotemporary),
the Shorthorn, Ayrshire and Jersey
breeders present being quite ready to
claim her as of their favorite breed.
Not in this way, but in the event of
proof being brought that she was of
either one Of the breeds, or of no breed,
would 1t count much in any ones favor.
Extraordinary excellence of one COW
does not tell much for or against
breed. The breed that out of hundred
chance individuals can give us the larg-
est per cent. of profitable animals shows
most quality. We want breed that
will drop all good calves, and if occa-
sionally an Old Dreamer is given us,
very well; let us be thankful for this
showing that nature has possibilities
quite above our daily experience. But
what was her yield? General Hunger
ford gives her yield at nine years old,
when weighing about 1880 pounds In
three days her milk yield amounted to
BOZ pounds. In the month of June,
2,82O pounds. on an average of over "a
pounds a day, land in July following her
daily yield averaged 80 pounds. In Sep
TENDER, when at the State Fair, she was
said to be giving about % pounds at
each Of the milkings daily It is upon
this record that her reputation stands.
Old Dreamer, the champion cow, we
doubt not is largely Ayrshire.

Sand, if not the best, is one of the
best articles in use for bedding cattle.
1t is good deodorizer and keeps the
stable sweet As the cattle work it
back into the trench under their feet, it
mixes with the manure and thus divides
1T and makes it more suitable for the
use OF plants. If the distance to haul it
is not too Tar, its very cheapness ought
to recommend it's use. In barns that
have no cellars, were it used freely, it
would absorb large amount of urine
that is now wasted. Soil and muck are
dirty things to use in stable, but sand
is clean. Then, too, it is nice thing to
use under hen-roosts, to receive the
droPplngs:, which can be easily raked off
and kept in barrels, and in spring mixed
with fine COW manure part of the
former to two of the latter. This being
shoveled over thoroughly two or three
times makes a mass Of rich manure. A
large handful of this in the hill will set
corn to growing finely. Flowers, too,
grow and blossom far better in soil that
has an admixture of sand So clayey
and peaty soils are benefited by it's
combination with them, and vice versa.
When spread on heavy soils in grass, it
produces more effect than any chemical
manure [ have ever seen used.-N E.

IS cents. Yet these shoes look AZ well
as the higher priced ones, aud, 10 order TO
do it, they arc cheapened in every possible
way--iu lining, trimming, stitching ia the
bows and eyelets, and particularly in the
sole, the cost Of the sole in the inferior
goods being reduced from twenty-three to
eight cents. These soles are known as
pancake, aud the article itself as a shod-
dy shoe. The workmanship is also infe-
rior, being done hurriedly. The Bulletin
admits that some Of these shoes are worth
the price paid for them, off worn in the
house or inside rnbbers, but others are
"reagy not worth the else they are packed

Eugsnis, Granddaughter Of an American.


The recent action for damages for dela-
nation Of character which the Empress's
mother, the Countess de Montijo, has in
stituted against more than hundred Jour
mails in France have revealed the fact that
Eugene is the granddaughter Of au Amer
lean. The Empress Eugenie's grandfather
was the United States Consul at Malaga
under Andrew Jackson's Presidency, and
was also engaged in the highly honorable
though not either aristocratic, diplo-
matte, or consular-oecupatiou Of selling
groceries. The American family after
ward settled in Glasgow, and the misses
kirkpatricks' whom we saw in Paris were
its youthful representatives, aud her Ma
jesty very first cousins, being daughters
of the Countess de Montijo's sister, the
granddaughter (like Eugenie) Of the Amer
lean Consul and grocer at Malaga. So
there you have it. The scandal against
Eugenie was, you remember, that she was
born three years after the death of the
Count de Montijo, and was the illegitinlate
daughter OF dissolute noble who traced
his lineage back to the Montezumas, whose
arms Eugenie has always quartered with
her Napoleonic bearings, without the adj
dition Of the bar sinister. Like sensible
and honorable woman Nine. de Montiio
has shown that Eugene was born 10 we'd
lock; that Count dc Montijo descended
fromthe MonteEumas, and that she her
self was the daughter Of the American
Consul aforesaid. There is no bar sinister
anywhere aroupd.--0fius Lo1ae,

A STRANGE fLANT.-A plant, suppos-
cd to be new, has been found in Nicara-
qua, which, if what is said of it is true, is
a great vegetable curiosity. 1t has been
named Phytolacca Electrical 1t Is said
to possess very pronounced electro-mag-
uetic properties. The hand is sensibly
benumbed upon touching the shrub, and
the magnetic influence is felt at distance
Of seven or eight feet The magnetic
needle is sensibly perturbated, becoming
more and more SO until it reaches the
centre of the shrub, when the disturbance
Is transformed into very rapid gyratory
movement The intensity Of the phenom-
enon varies with the hours Of the day, and
at night it is hardly perceptible. 1t at
tains its maximum about two p NJ. In
stormy weather the energy of the action
is augmented No insects or birds have
been seen on the shrub.

The labor problem in the coal mining
districts of England has new element put
into it by the ayowed intention of the mine
owners to bring in Chinese laborers to re-
place the present force. For several years
there has been great trouble both in Eng
land and Wales from strikes and lock outs.
and it is now announced that the mine
owners have been in consultation with the
Chinese Ambassador to England relative
to importing Chinese labor, and as soon as
the details can be arranged will put this
project into execution. The Chinese Am
bassador has expressed his willingness to
undertake the management Of the immi-
grafton, providing the arriving Cinnamon
are protected from injury and insult. Put
ting such plan as this in force would be
a serious business in Great Britain-so
serious that we have no notion that it will
be attempted PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

RAILWAY CoNsTRUcTIoS.-Acco
to the Railroad Gazette there are pow
76,640 miles Of railroad in the United
States, Of which 2+i2l miles were con-
struetcd IN 1876. The greatest activity
in building railroads was shown in the
rapidly growing Western and Southwest.
ern States, Texas leading the list with
1871 miles, followed by California, 35Os
miles OF the older States, Ohio built
27O, Pennsylvania 500, New jersey 81.
and New York 69t miles. OF the 2442 t
miles built, 537 miles were of narrow
gauge, As miles three feet six inches, and
the remainder three feet gauge. Rail
roads in these days do not grow as rapidly
as they did half dozen years ago, but
their growth is healthier, and is governed
for the most part now by legitimate de-
mand for theis construction.
