DR.. c. MCLANE'S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS.,
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
POR THE CURE OF

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.
nAIN in the right side, under the
edge ofthe ribs, increases onpres-
sure; sometimes the paints in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shohder-blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in'the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are coStive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part
There isgencraily aconsiderable loss
ofmemory accompanied witha pain
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains WEAKNESS and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every REM
edy. Several of the above symp-
.oms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of lhem ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

A PrommissOry Note Upon the Condition
of Drunkenness.

a curious case has been decided by
the Supreme Court of Illinois. The de
PENDANT, Myers, made, signed and de
livered his promissory note in these
words
"For value received, one day after [,
at any time, become intoxicated or
drunk, or mistreat or abuse Minnie
Myers, promise to pay to L. M. Phillips
the sum of 5000, for the use of Minnie
Myers, with 10 per centum interest from
maturity until paid"
The maker of the note soon after did
"become intoxicated or drunk" accord
ing to his custom, and was sued by
Phillips.
"The complaint set forth that several
of the acts upon the doing of which the
instrument, by its terms, became pay
able, had been DONE Defendant plead
ed among other things that the instru-
ment was without consideration, being
given for promise on the part of his
wife, Minnie Myers, named therein,
that she would live with him. A repli-
cation to the plea stated that the defen-
dant had been guilty of habitual drunk
enness and of cruelty to his wife, and a
suit by her against him for divorce on
this account was pending at the time the
instrument was made, and the considera-
ton for it was that the wife would dis
miss the suit, condone the causes of di-
vorce and return and live with him, all
OF which she did To this replication
defendant demurred. The court below
sustained the demurrer, but the SUI
preme Court reversed the decision, hold
ing that the consideration was suffi-
cient."

The Dreaded Tarantula.

The following story is from the Sac
ramento (Cal) Union of the 10th in
slant: "A party of Sacramentans re-
turned home last evening from a trip
to the mountains, bringing with them
two deer skins, one wildcat skin and a
few other trophies, including two taran-
tulas-dead ones. They had a little in
cident attending the transportation OF
these specimens which occasioned con
siderable alarm. 1t occurred in Cache
Creek Cannon on Wednesday, as they
were returning home. The tarantulas,
for lack of better receptacle, were in
closed in a cigar-box when caught, about
ten days ago, and this box, carefully
tied up, was deposited beneath the
seat of the vehicle. While they were
slipped, and the two men occupying it
found themselves dropped suddenly
into the bottom of the wagon. One OF
them struck the cigar-box, crushed it.
and Immediately felt that something
had hurt him. A glance showed him
that he was resting on the tarantulas,
and, with a yell of Pm stungr he
jumped from the wagon, and dash
ing his hands behind him, as though
DESTROYS of lifting himself out of his
boots, he bounded wildly along the road,
then turned and made for the wagon,
shouting to his amazed and alarmed
companions Whisky! Quick! I'm
dying! Why don't you hurry? The
other three men-there were four in
the party-reached simultaneously for
the demijohn, broke off the cork in
their haste to pull it out, and in an
effort to knock off the neck of the
demUohn, to save time, broke the en-
tire concern, and nearly all the con-
tents were lost. About a pint of the
liquid was saved, however, and, without
saying as much as Here's luck the
party that was bitten swallowed it.
Soon he began to feel better, and
eventually felt so remarkably well that
it was evident the poison had been
forced to succumb. Then 1.-THE work of
Strengthening up the contents of the
wagon was commenced, and the tar
antula box was carefully lifted out and
examined, when behold! the bugs
were found perfectly lifeless, and so
dry and stiff that it was evident that
they had been dead more than twenty
four hours, while couple of tacks in
the broken cover of the box conveyed
very good hint as to the nature of
the injury which the bold hunter had
suffered "

that they were covered with a thick
coating of hair, black in color, and
hanging down in long, stringy locks
The ears were long and pendant like
those OF hound or sea-hon, and sever
al fins. The monster shook them as if
to rid his head of the dripping water
From the long bill he threw stream of
water, at intervals, much like the spout
ing of whale, and with noise that
was heard by all ON shore The spouts
OF water were thrown at least two feet
high, about a minute apart The rep
tile had either six legs, or four legs and
two huge leg-hke fins. At any rate two
OF these members were much longer
and larger than the other four, and were
thrown out of and along the surface of
the water as if they were being used
as paddles for propelling, or keeping
the body still, or turning it over. On
the thick, corrugated neck there was a
long, black name, reached like that of
a horse, and reaching so far down that
the ends were lost in the water Why
the monster paused so long opposite the
dixie cannot be surmised, but it is be-
heyed to have been attracted by the
noise and shouting of the men at work,
for several times it was observed to turn
its head in that direction, as if curious
to know the cause of so much COM
motion. One of the men went to a neigh
boring house for gun, but few mo-
ments before he returned the monster
turned over several times with great
velocity, spouted violently, and sunk in
the water. The event created adecided
sensation among the large number of
workmen engaged in work on the river
front, and there was no end to the sur
misses concerning the real nature of the
strange sight. Several contended that
it was a sea-sepent, Others that it was
nothing more than huge alligator, and
others (of superstitous turn of mind
that it was nothing less than the devil,
who had assumed this monstrous guise
for some porpentous or premonitory
purpose. An equal diversity of opinion
was held concerning the shape, size, and
length of the monster. Some thought
it was forty, others sixty, feet in length,
and one or two were certain its body
was as large as a hogshead, and I'M
doubtedly 100 feet in length. Mr. Eagan's
judgement is, and he is doubtless cor
rect, that its length would not exceed
thirty feet

An Aquatic Monster.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat

The men working at the Government
dixie in the Mississippi River, opposite
Quarantine Station, tell very curious
story concerning singular monster
seen IN the water at that point on the
9th inst. The reporters information in
the case is Mr.. Thomas Eagan one of
the workmen alluded to, who lives at
1925 South Seventh street, in this city,
who was himself the first to discover
this strange aquatic animal, and to call
1t was about 10 o'clock in the morning,
and the day so clear and bright that
there could be no optical illusion result
ing from any unusual condition of the
atmosphere.
Mr.. Eagan states that his attention
was first directed to peculiar movement
of the water about forty feet above
where he was working on the dixie. The
motion seemed to be caused by round
body rolling over and over in the water
with considerable violence, throwing
the waves a foot high with each revolu-
ton. The object rolled in this manner
until 1t reached point Immediately
opposite Eagan and his fellow:-workmen,
and here it seemed to pause for breath,
though at no time being perfectly STILL
1t remained comparatively quiet, how
ever, long enough for the men to get a
good sight of a part of its body, though
it was plain that not more than one-third
of its length could be seen. There was
about ten feet of the middle portion of
the body partly lifted above the water,
and though the head was visible several
times, the tail was not seen at all and
thus no accurate estimate of the entire
length could be made The back of the
monster was covered with course black
or dark brown scales, much like those of
the alligator, while the under portion
of the body, brought frequently to view
as the monster turned over, was OBJ
served to be Of a dark blue, and bright
and glistening like that of the Missis-
sippi catfish. The head, most curious
to relate, was that of a dog, the ears and
eyes being plainly discernible, while the
mouth or bill was in the perfect shape
of a pelican's, and more than foot in
length. Some of the men who got
good look at the head and ears declare

To break or grow cold in mems snares!
Shall we Weld them to fashion or beauty,

At 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon a
young man with very white eyes, and a
girl of Is, with very long curls, stood to-
gether ON the City Hall tower to gaze
upon the beautiful panorama below. In
a minute or two the girl began to feel
giddy, and as the sensation increased
she cried out:
"Ohl Will I'm going to faint away"

an arm around her.

And if you ask what is the temper
which is most fitted to be victorious over
sin on earth, I answer that in the warp
of sunny gentleness must be woven
acroos the wool of strong character.
That will make the best tissue to stand
the wear and tear of the worlds trials.
Our Lord was divinely gentle, but he
was also strong with wondrous strength
and firmness.
