Feminine prejudice and jealousies
are somewhat unpleasant when they
make their way into political circles.
At one of the later receptions of Presi-
dent MacMahon, Madame Jules Simon,
the wife of the new Premier, was pre-
scented for the first time. She has al
ways been known for her extreme
radicalism, which carried her SO far
once as to induce her to smugglc
Rochefort's Laaater7ae from Belgium
across the frontier into France. She
also has the reputation of having
inspired her husband with q good deal
of his republicanism. Such a person
atty was by no means acceptable to
the ancestrally rich Madame MacM ahon
q born De Castres, and who is, more
over, strongly Papal and Bourbon in
prepossessions. The guest was toler-
ably well received by the Marshal, but
when she was presented to Madame la
Merechale, only q few words were ad-
dressed her. in very frigid tone, and
she was uneeremoniously directed with
q wave of the hand to, a seat on a dis
tant sofa, the hostess herself not deign-
ing to notice her any further For
some time she sat entirely alone in q

ter the passage of the act, lay off thei
respective counties into road districts
or may constitute each civil district {
road district, and appoint commission
er in each district. These Commission
ers shall hold their Office until the first
Monday in April, 1879, at which time,
and every two years thereafter, the
County Court shall appoint their success
sors in office and for such services they
shall receive one dollar per day. It
! shall he the duty of the Commissioner
to repair the roads and bridges in their
! respective road districts and cause the
building of bridges therein when the
County Court shall order such bridges

for.
They must 60 before the Grand Jury

spective counties and make a statement
under oath of the condition of the pub

For failure to make such appointment
and statement to the Grand Jury, they

quired of him, or who refuses to obey

| Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; 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 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 a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally considerable loss
Ofmemory, accompanied with a 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
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-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER Pills,
IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when

would advise all who are afflicted
with this disease to give them A

The Cotton Yield,

The Financial Chronicle. in its last number,
reviews the reports of the various cotton ex-
changes for December /. and arrives at the fol-
lowing deductions:
This gives US crop of 1000 o7o bales. or ST.
37o bales more than the reports of last month.
This increase is due to material change In the
estimate for Louisiana. We make no account
flor the purposes of this compilation) of the
changes. In acreage from last year, for the
reason that the Cotton Exchange. reports have
always heretofore given the yield of the State
and not the condition Of the plant. But If we
understand rightly the New Orleans report this
acreage in their department to their estimate of
the yield. As The acreage in Louisiana (accord-
ing to the Agricultural Bureau) was this year
9 per cent more. and In Arkansas per cent
more. and IN Mississippi per cent moro than
last year, this would add for the New Orleans
department say per cent, or 81 $50 bales to
Louisiana's crop; about per cont or 12,7sO
bales to Mississippi's crop, about per cent or
Il. 200 bales to the Arkansas crop. making total
TO be added to the above of 65. 100. IT, therefore
our view OF the New Orleans report is correct
the Cotton Exchange reports this month show a
crop OF AGA, 230 bales.

The .Jetfies.

A Western contemporary makes the state.
ment that the jetties at the South Pass have SO
far cost 81 100000. Of which the national treasury
has, as yet, paid only 100000. We do not give
this as matter OF news 10 our readers. but
simply. In connection, to copy the following
paragraph from the st. Louis Republican of the
18th inst:
Now that Capt. Eads has fairly earned his Sec
ond half million Of dollars. the cutlery will be
not by the, ,ietties. In anticipation Of this It
may as well be said that no dredgeboat ever did
without the jetties what his dredgeboat has
done with the, letties, and If he can make and
keep q channel for twenty years for the money
the government has contracted to pay. II doesn't
dredging or not. The only thing people are
concerned Ia is that he is to be paid certain
sum for getting channel of a certain depth
and width, and certain amount additional
per. annum for maintaining that channel. II
he does that work It is Of very small importance
how he does 1t. The dredgeboats will be used
until the extreme depth has been secured. and
then their mission will be ended. Just as surely
as that the .nitro-glycerine employed to blast
the rocks from the He'll Gate channel. New
York. is no longer needed to keep those rocks
from reforming.

The New York Journal of Commerce says:
We have q very blue and beGrish report from
the United States Consul ut Odessa about the
grain crop of South Russia for the current year.
He says 1T is the largest harvested for twenty
five years, was well gathered. and mostly In

GENERAL REMARKS-To-day has been a
rainy, gloomy day. and has thrown a damper
or wet blanket" on business generally. Es-
pecially was the effect observed on the landings.
The operations in sugar were greatly cur
tailed by the above cause. though the demand
was good and the prices steady. The receipts
were light. amounting to 872 hhds; sales 3G5
hhds.
The demand for molasses was good, and mar
ket steady at a slight advance Receipts 3ls1
bbls; sales 1862 bbls.
In cotton, Notwithstanding the weather the
demand was fair. and sales reached 1900 bales,
at prices fully up to yesterdays quotations.
The Liverpool and Havre markets had a down
ward tendency, but New York spots and futures
appeared to be a shade better
There is large stock of -four on hand, and
we have nothing that is striking to note in
this trade. There is only small demand and
that is merely for local trade. The arrivals to-
day reached only 1000 barrels sales, 800 barrels,
the market being dull and easy.
There was a little better feeling in pork. and
the market was quite steady at s12 rs, and s1s on
Job sales to the trade.
COTTON-.The influences bearing on the
market at the opening to-day were not unfa-
vorable. Liverpool. it is true, was reported
dull at Yesterdays decline. and Havre dull and
tending downwatds: but at New York there was
ket. spots ruling firm and futures higher Al
together there was better feeling In this mar
ket and the demand proving fair 1900 bales
were sod at prices fully sustaining yesterdays
