The GOut.

In relation to govt, a clever and
amusing writer says: ga man goes to
bed happy, and is awakened after few
hours sleep, usually between one and
four o'clock in the morning, with pain
in the ball of the great toe, which in
creases with sense of burning and
throbbing, and he finds next morning
that his toe is swollen, with deep-red
shining skin. Moreover, it is SO ex-
quisitely tender that during the height
of the attack he cannot bear the
weight of the bedclothes, or the shaking
of the bed by footsteps in the room.
There are series of such attacks.
Then the swelling abates. In few
days the skin itches and peels off, and
there is in the joint only some little re-
manning tenderness. That is the form
of brisk first attack in a man other
wise healthy. Gout has partiality for
gnawing at mans great toe." AS for
the pain, "Screw your joint" said a
Frenchman, in vice till you can no
longer bear the pressure-that is rheu.
matism then give the vice another
twist-that is govt" Gout having once
seized on it's chosen outwork, has O
tendency to fight it's way upward, first
storming the ankles, then making an
ugly rush upon the knee, then taking
possession Of the hands and elbows, and
sometimes striking to the stomach, when
it generally proves fatal.

A Gateway Coat for Ladies.

The Paris correspondent of the Liver
pool Courier writes GA fashion that is
springing up in Paris, and that is as
yet rather fast, is the wearing by
ladies of garment exactly resembling
a mans cut-away coat. I saw many of
these in shop windows, and one or two
on persons who evidently did not mind
being observed. A lady on the Boule-
ward DIES Italiens wore, for instance, a
park green cashmere short skirt, duly
plated, and round her scarf bordered
with green silk her bodice was a short
cut-away coat, fastened by three but
tons at the chest, and slanting away at
the neck and at the waist, leaving visi-
BILE waistcoat of the palest shade of
green satin, deliberately worked in the
darkest green silk. These cut-away
coats, worn over fanciful waistcoats, to
which have alluded, are destined to
invade society. They are to be worn in
colors over black silk for instance, an
orange satin waistcoat embroidered in
silk-and black silk or satin skirt en-
traiae will be permissible, or deep
rose-pink coat over white embroidered
waistcoat and pale pink skirts and sc

The Physiology Of the Liver.

The liver is the largest secreting organ In the
human body, and the bile which it secretes is
more liable to visitation and misdirection from
its proper channels than any other of the
animal fluids. Luckily for the bilious, how
ever, there is an unfailing source of relief from
liver complaint, namely Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, medicine which for over quarter
Of a century has been achieving thorough cures
of the above mentioned ailments, fever and
ague, dyspepsia, bowel complaints, rheumatic
and kidney affections and disorders involving
less Of nervous vigor. 1t is, moreover, q pre-
ventive Of malarisl disease. and affords pro-
lection TO thousands of persons residing in
districts Of country where that dire soourge
is prevalent. AS a remedy adapted to the
medicinal requirement of families, 1t ia
supremey desirable, and as means Of fortify-
ing debiltated system, It is thoroughly to be
depended upon

Foreign MAMa.

British troops crossed the Afghan frontier,
occupying fort which had been abandoned,
and the invasion of Afghanistan may be said
to have begun.
Mr.. Welsh, the United States minister to
England. has paid over to the British govern
ment % 100000, the amount Of the Halifax
fisheries award, accompanying the payment
with communication, in which he states that
he has been instructed to say "The govern
ment of the United States deems it of the
greatest Importance to the common and friend
ly interests Of the two governments in all fu-
ture treatment Of any question relating to the
North American fisheries that her Britannia
majesty's government should be distinctly ad-
vised that the government of the United States
cannot accept the result of the Halifax COM
mission as furnishing any just measure Of the
value of participation by our citizens in the
inshore fisheries Of the British provinces, and
IL protests against the actual payment now
made being considered by her majesty's GOV
ernment as in any sense an acquiescence in
such measure, or as warranting any inference
to that effect"
Lord Cranbrook, secretary Of state for India,
publishes, by direction of the queen. a long
dispatch. which is in effect an explanation of
England's reasons for waging war upon At
ghanistan. In substance it is q plea that the
Gladstone government did not properly second
the efforts Of its viceroy to establish friendly
relations with Shere Ali; that when the present
government came into power theee efforts
were renewed and strong inducements were
held out for an alliance; that these were re-
jected by the ameer, who assumed an air of
sullen reserve; that subsequently his refusal
to receive an English embassy on the ground
that he could not then consistently refuse to
receive a Russian embassy, WHILE as matter
of fact, the Russians we're Hospitality received
at a moment when war between England and
Russia was imminent, left no doubt of the
hostility Of the ameer; that, finally, patience
ceased to be virtue, and the ameer has been
informed that unless clear and satisfactory

wrong. II might be said in an.
swer to this that It has not been
shown a. yet who was responsible
for this "trick." Senator Thurman ex-
pressed the opinion that not ten men
in Congress knew what the "Revised
Statutes" contained when they were en-
acted by Congress. Al all events, there
must be a great many thousands Of inno-
cent holders Of our bonds who knew moth.
ing about the Htrick." And as for said
trick being responsible for the discrep-
ancy between gold and silver, there is
this much to be said on that head, viz:
that as early as 1872 the value OF silver
had fallen as low as sol pence, and in
1873 before III we are not mistaken) the
trick was ever heard Of, II fell still fur.
ther to 57J pence.
It's the fact that silver has Huctuated
widely in value (haying been found in
such immense quantities, and being in.
convenient to handle) that has brought
it into disiavor as money, except as sub
sidiary coin. As far back as 1856 1t
Huctuated two per cent, and in the 10
years from 1866 to 1876 1t fuctuated in
Europe 25 per cent As showing the
