Drink and Hard Times.

"What is the secret of large part of the
depression and distress under which the
civilized world is suffering? War, indeed,
and enormous standing armies, especially in
the Old World, are in large part to blame,
and the consequences of civil war in our
own country are doubtless still felt and en-
ter largely into our present suffering. But
how can people easily extricate itself from
such embarrassments when it is actually
spending six hundred millions year Tor
what is at least needless indulgence, and a
source of incalculable waste aud loss You
must actually double these figures to get at
the cost in money alone OF the liquor.traflc
and its consequences, TO say nothing OF the
destruction of physical, mental and moral
force, which cannot be put into figures, but
which is far more dsleterious. | suppose
we can stand this immense drain for a
time we have stood 1t, and in prosperous
times the nation is actually so prosperous
that it seems as il it could stand anything.
The cost Of liquor to the nation to-day is an
average tax Of nearly two hundred dollars
per annum upon every family. Such tax
for no advantage whatever, but rather for a
positive nuisance sure TO breed other NUS
ances and to bring heavier taxes, II II were
seen in this light would be felt to be such
an outrage that it would kindle universal
discomfort aud rebellion. We talk about
economy, and at the national capital some
extraordinary performances as well as some
honest efforts in that line have been wit
| messed by an observing country. There is

CRoP PRosPEoTs.-Th grain crops of both
England and France are below the average,
and the grain districts of the Black Sea are
still unsettled by war-facts which go to ex-
plain the present remarkable foreign demand
for our cereals, and afford promise of its
continuance. During the year 1877 France
exported 34,Ol3,532 bushels of grain and
flour and imported 1881 .5is bushels, an
excess of imports over exports of more than
100000 bushels, and this excess is likely
to be increased in 1873 and 1879. Com.
mercial prospects in England are reported
as a little brighter, and the demand for our
products as active.

And one was clear as the crystal food.

/" Let us tell the tales Of the past to each other,

And the proudes and grandest souls on earth
Fell under my touch as though struck by blight,
Where was king for ruled in might.
From the heads OF kings have torn the crown.
From the height OF fame have hurled men down;
have blasted many an honored name.

BUSINESS FAILUREs.-The record of bust
ness failures in New York for September
shows a smaller number of them and lower
aggregate OF liabilities than the exhibit of
any month for more than year past. There
were only thirty failures recorded, with liza
bilities Of about four and quarter millions,
and assets for more than half that amount.
OF course the main cause of this decline is
the repeal of the bankrupt act, to obtain
the advantages of which so many firms were
hurried into insolvency during the summer
but the wedding out Of these weak concerns
has Injured to the advantage Of business in
the long run by its exposure of rotteuness
and indication Of strength which has out
stood the blows Of the adverse fortunes of
the past five years.

COLORADO turns out TO have done even
better in her election than at first reported.
Revised returns from twenty-one counties
increase the Republican majorities. Bel.
ford's majority over Patterson (democrat, for
Congress-, is 2,745. Pitkin's majority over
Loveland, for Governor, is $500. The cour-
ties yet to be reported will probably increase
the average. The Republican majority in
the state is 5000. The Gresnback vote in
the state, will aggregate about 1900. The
Legislature will be four Republicans to one
democrat.

Symptoms Of Diseased Liver.
pain in the right side, undcrth edge
Of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is i'll the left side;
the patient rarely able to lie ontlIc left

the shoulder-bladc, and it frequently
extends to the top ofthe shoulder, and
is sometimes mistaken for rheuma-
tisn1 in the arm. The stomach affect
cd with loss Of appetite and sickness;
the bowels i'll general arc costivc,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accompan-
led with dull, heavy sensation ilr the
back part. There is generally con-
siderable loss of memory, accornpan-
led with painful sensation Of having
left umdone something which ought to
have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The pa
tient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
biity; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains ola
prickly sensation Of the skin; his spir-
its are low: and although he is salts
fed that exercise would be beneficial
to him, yet he can scarcely summon
up fortitude enough to try it. In fact,
he distrllsts every remedy. Several Of

them existed, yet examination of the
body, afterdcatl, has shown the LIVER
