DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms Of 9 Diseased Liver.
nAIN in the right side, under the
edgeofthe ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the paints intheleft
side; the patient is rarelyablc 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 o rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general arc costivc, sometimes alter.
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with q dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generallya
acknowledgements with pain
ful 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-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occr red where few Of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively dcranged.

IN CASES OF AcuE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quininc, arc productive

would advise all who arc afflicted
with this disease to give them a
FAIR TRIAL.

duced in all parts of the city. The
system adopted is that of Mr..
Jablochkoff, a Russian. The Figaro
newspaper lights the front of the
Office, where it is produced, with
the magical candle. Mr.. King SAYS:
"The electric candle used by
Jablochkoff is formed of two cylin-
drical strips of coal placed one be-
side the other, and separated by a
peculiar isolating matter. The
lower extremities of these strips of
coal are set in two brass tubes, and
these in turn are fastened into a
chandelier bracket. The strips are
bound SO that they cannot fall apart.
When the current is passed in the
voltaic arch it springs into life be-
tween the two extremities of the
coal strips, which burn little by
little by contact with the air. The
isolating matter heats, melts, partly
volatizes and makes the space be-
tween the coal a good conductor
far better than it is in the ordinary
system of lighting with the regula-
tor. The candle should be pro-
tected by an opaline globe, as it is
in most places where it is used in
Paris. The price Of one of these
candles, burning an hour and a
half, and giving a light fully equal
to one hundred and thirty gas Jets,
is fifteen cents. All sizes Of candles
can be furnished, and they can be
placed in almost every conceivable
position. One horse power of an
ordinary steam engine is required
for each separate electric light, or
group of lights; that is a force
equivalent to that must be sup
piled to the dynamO-electric ma
chine"
1t is already proposed to use the
electrical candle in festivals asso-
ciated with the great exposition.

New York Herald
The National Line steamship
England, which arrived here on
Tuesday, brought safely over the
five.y year-old stallion All Heart, by
King Tom, out of Marigold, late
the property of Lord Rosebery, but
now owned by Mr.. Charles Reed, of
this city. All Heart has never won
a race, though he has been on the
turf since the spring Of 1875. Start
ing in several Of the great races he
has had no success whatever, though
as he had lately been in the hands
of a shrewd and able trainer Or.
PAnson), who has been practicing
him over timber," it is hard to
say what his merits at that branch
of the sport might be.
When All Heart has had good
rest he will be sent to Monmouth
Park to be put under the care of
William Lee, who is in charge of
the stable of Mr.. Reed there. His
immediate future is not yet decided
on, and will depend upon the result
of Lees careful handling. All
Heart only started once last year.
On that occasion he was a bad third
to Chesterton (lirst) and John Day
in her majesty'S plate Of 200 guineas
at Egham.
The Iron City Jockey Club has
procured the Friendship Park, near
Pittsburg, Penn, and is now organ
lied on a solid basis. The manage
ment proposes to hold during the
coming summer both running and
trotting meetings, the running
meeting to commence on the 10th
Of June and continue four days. 1t
will include five stakes, besides
purses, and two hurdle races. The
stakes closed on the 14th inst, with
a large number of entries, thirteen
States having made nominations.

The New EIsctrlc Light.

Mr. Edward King, the CORE
spondent of the Boston Journal in
Paris, gives an interesting account
of the illumination three weeks ago
of Place de pQpera in Paris by the
electrical light. He says the effect
was singularly magnificent, andI
"The intense white glow from
the electric burners directly in front
of the steps leading up to the
operas entrance, and scattered at
intervals across the grand boule-
ward to the corner of the new ave-
nue. leading to the pomedie Fran
caise, made the spaces for hundreds
of yards around about as light as
day. One of the electric candles
seemed to give as mqch light 90 an
hundred gas Jets. Gas looks yellow,
muddy and petty beside this grand
fire, which defes darkness. For Q
city lighted by the new process all
the teTroPs Of midnight would van :

eupation gone. The assassin would

kinds would either Sliak away, dis

Cricket Fighting in China.

In some parts of China cricket.
are as regularly trained for combat
as English pugilists, the method
being as follows: The crickets wher
captured are kept singly in earthen
ware pots, at the bottom of which
is a small quantity of fine mold,
and a very small cup containing q
few drops of water for the insects
10 drink out Of and bathe in. Their
food consists of two kinds of fish
called man-yu and kut.yu. Insects
called loo-kum-chung, tun.tsit.
chung and pin-tam-ohung are oc.
casionally given to them. They
get honey to strengthen them, and
other articles Of their diet are boiled
chestnuts and boiled rice. For two
hours every night female cricket
is placed in the pot with the
male, Smoke is supposed to be
injurious to their health, and the
rooms in which they are kept must
be perfectly free from 1t, A charm

If the English and the Russians in
their Asiatic quarrels should ever gel
the Chinese stirred up and started or
the war path there is no telling when Oh
where or in what numbers these copper.
colored Orientals would settle down
again. There are 800, ZOO, 900 of them,
swarming on the land and water of the
Chinese empire, and waiting, as some
ethnologists believe, for fine day to
overrun Europe as other Asiatics have
done before. Just now, in the north.
eastern provinces, they are dying by the
million; according to the official figures
of Minister Seward Is, 600, 600 are actual
ly in the clutches of famine, while co..
600, 200 others are suffering more or less
from lack of sufficient food supply. This
is nearly twice the total population Of
the United States-rather a big crowd
of people to be starving at one time
After all travellers have had to say about
the Chinese internal improvement sys
tenn, it is rather queer to read that thil
distress is due rather to lack of trans
portation facilities in the stricken dis
tricts than to a scarcity of food in the
surrounding regions.
