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 mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm The stonl-
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive. sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain.
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
orally a considerable loss of memory.
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of WEAKNESS
and debility he is easily startled. his
feet are cold or burning, and he COM
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death. has
shown the LIVER to have been extern
sively deranged.

 There are not as many visitors here this season as are usually here at this time Of the year, on account of yellow fever, bat they expect four to five thousand by February. This is fast becoming great resort not only for invalds but for pleasure-seekers; and now that the residents know what they are doing l anticipate that there will be a great change here in the class of buildings that will soon go up as if by magic. Although the Arlington Hotel is uneaualed by any Hotel in the State for comfort and convenience, yet it is put ID on rather an inexpensive style.

The President and Congress.

The deploraide business depres- sion prevailing throughout the coun try evidently and urgently demands all possible economy in the admits tration of the Government. Despite this palpabIe fact, the President rec ommends increased and plainly un- necessary appropriations for various departments, and in this ingenius way maniIests his peculiar sympa. thes for the dear, suffering people, who would have to bear the propos. ed burdens. Verify, his fraudulency moves in a mysteiuu way his civil service to reform. In this connec- tion, however, it is gratifying to Dotc that the present estimates of the Treasury are in several respects 2 decided Improvements on those or preceding years. They are more moderate and candidly call for about what they want and expect, instead of presenting Il large margin for re duction. Congress has evidently awakened to a realizing sense of the frauds heretofore practised on it by the Departments, and will have u vigilant eye for those frauds in the future and eiiectually provide against their renetiuon. The lndi- cations are favorable that it will rig idly scrutinizc and considerably re- duce the present estimates and make many needed retseachmeuts in the various branches of the public ser wee, the wishes of tho President and the departments to the contrary, notwithstanding.
