The EIOpement and Marriage OF
Girl OfI3.

| Chicago Times.
Qune an amusing epsicode has lately
occurred in the quiet and unostentatlous
suburban village known rs Prospect
Park. James Broadly has daughter,
aged Is, who for several months had
been receiving, against the wishes OF her
parents, the attentions of u young man
named Geo. BarrIs. The young man
having been forbidden the society OF his
adoged, it is said that his woolug WAS
thereafter done in secret. The result was
= repetition of the old story: Clsndes-
tine meetings arrangements for the iu
ture AID finally an e!opement. The
parties went to Chicago, and there, al
though George was only nineteen, ne OBJ
tanned the necessary marriage license and
magistrate to perform the customary
ceremony, ami then the couple returned
TO the house of the unsuspectlng parent
AS man and wife, for the ordinary for
glveness, but the fond parent was absent.
Not long after u team came dashlng
down the streets OF Wheaton, containing
al occupant who seemed TO be possessed
OF something akin TO seven devils, but on
inquiry II was asCertained that Mr. james
Broadly was the driver Of the team, and
wished 10 see the police magistrate ut
once. To the latter Mr.. Broadly stated
that mis- daughter had eloped, and, with
her husband, had robbed her fathers
house OF nearly al It's contents, and that
ne wished warrant for the arrest OF the
guilty pair.
The warrant was issued the parties ar
rested and brought before the bar OF the
Court, and u preliminary examination
made. II appeared from the testimony,
however, That nothing had been taken
except few engravings which belonged
to the young lady, and the defendants
were discharged, the Court remarking
that he had no jurisdiction to punish
parties for getting married, even II they
were young and guIelesS.

Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN 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 akcr-
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There sgenerally considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied withaPain-
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 ofweariness 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-
IONS attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of diem 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
taken with Quinine, are productive
ofthe most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory
TO, or after taking Quininc. We
would advise all who arc afflicted
with this disease to give them 4
FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and
as simple purgatiyc, they arc IN
equaled.

Effects Of Breathing Foul Air.

The air we breathe, which q great
English physician calls gaseous food,
may become impure to the degree OF
being indigestible to our lungs and ut
terly unfit for the performance of func-
tions which are quite as important as
those of our solid and fluid victuals.
Dull headaches, nausea, loss Of appe-
tite and OF the sense of smell, ard the
sadness produced by the unsatisfied
hunger after oxygen, are only incidental
and secondary evils the great principal
curse of the troglodyte habit is its In
huence on the respiratory organs. In
1858, when Hanover and other parts of
northern Germany were visited by q
very malignant kind of smallpox, the
great anatomist Langenbeck tried to
discover "the peculiarity of organic
structure which disposes one man to
catch the disease while his neighbor
escapes. 1 have cut up more human
bodies than the Old Man of the Noun
tain with all his accomplices," he writes
from Gottingen in his semi- annual re-
port, "and, speaking only Of my pri-
mary object, L must confess that ] nm
no wiser than before. But, though the
mystery of smallpox has eluded my
search, my labors have not been in vain;
they have revealed to me something
else-the origin of consumption. 1 am
sure now of what suspected long ago,
viz, that pulmonary diseases have very
little to do with intemperance or with
erotic excesses, and much less with cold
weather, but are nearly exclusively Gf
we except tuberculous tendencies inher-
tied from both parents, l say quite OK
clusively) produced by the breathing of
foul air. The lungs of all persons, mi
nors included, who had worked for some
years in close workshops and dusty fac
tories, showed the germs of the fatal
disease, while confirmed inebriates,
who had passed their days in open air,
had preserved their respiratory organs
intact, whatever inroads their excesses
had made on the rest of their system.
If 1 should go into practice and under
take the cure of a consumptive. I should
begin by driving him into the Deister "a
densely wooded mountain range of Han
over) and prevent him from entering a
house for year or two."-Popular
Science MOnthly.
