AGUE AND FEVER.

DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
 For all bilious Arrangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

Symptoms of a DiseasedLiver.

DAIN in the right side, under the l 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 1t frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he IS easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- else 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 ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.

Alafka explorers report one of the
largest rivers in the world, the Yukon,
as navieable for steamers, aud at five
hundred miles from its mouth it re-
ceives a very large navigable tributary.
The basin formed by the confluence is
as large as our Mississippi Indians
are everywhere, and war between the
tribes is a fixed institution. There is
snow for six months, and without
roads, dog.sledges and good travelling.
Game abounds and Indians have an
easy life. From seven to nine does
make a team, the odd one being the
leader. The driver has to watch his
dog. Ii it gets ON the scent Of game
it is off, and the whole team is dcmor-
aiized. Of they scatter through the
WOO ds and thickets, upsetting the
load. smashing the sled, tearing the
harness. and giving the boss days Of

London Truth says. Here is a
perfectly authentic anecdote, which
throws more light on NJ. Grevy's
character than any / have ever heard.
1t certainly shows that NJ. Greyy is
true to himself, even as he has never
been false to any man. Unlike most
official Frenchmen, he believes
enough ia his own country to invest
in her funds, and the other day went
to the Bank of France to receive his
dividends. He was already president
of the republic, yet he quietly placed
hinself in the queue and waited his
tan., sandwicbed between petty
employe and a green gocer's vile.
Suddenly a high official of the bank
espied him, but was scarcely able to
believe his own eyes, and when he
did, almost tainted with horror The
president was forthwith accosted with
all honors and hidden to quit the
queue. that his money might be paid
him at once. Many thanks, be
answered, but [ really don't mind
waiting. And the chief magistrate
of the republic-a true liberal in
every good sense of that word
quietly bided his time. The humblest
citizen was not to lose a moment of
time on his account

A Pleasant AnecGOte OF General
Hooker.

Hooker.
Cincinnati EnQuirer.l
| served on Gen. Hooker's staff for
nearly year, and on one occasion was
assigned to duty as Judge Advocate
of the General Court Martial before
which a private soldier of a Michigan
regiment was charged with desertion.
The evidence showed that the pris-
oner had deserted three times, on the
last occasion in the face of the en-
emy." The Court Martial sentenced
him to be shot, and the record of his
trial and conviction was forwarded to
Gen. Hooker for his approval. A
short time subsequently General
Hooker came to my quarters, which
adjoined his own, and said:
Bond, in this case against private
-, what do you think mad better be
done? Are there no extenuatiDg cir
cumstances?
None that | know of, General. He
has deserted three times"
Isn't there something in the case
upon which you could base recon-
mendation of mercy?'
"Not a thing. The proof against
him was positive and not denied, and
the witnesses say further that when
ne was with his regiment he was a
worthless fellow and a constitutional
coward. F"
"That's just the thing" said the
general positively. "lhe man is con
stitutionally coward, and you recon-
mend him to mercy on that ground.
I'll tell you what's the matter, Bond,
his mother is at my quarters begging
for her sons life, and | want to spare
HIM"
In accordance with this suggestion,
the Recommendation for leniency was
written, and feeble old lady with
silver gray hair and a fearful face
was bowed out of the generals door
by the brave old hero, and turning
away she exclaimed, with uplifted
hands, God bless you, General
Hooker" LEWIS II. BOND.

a CninGman ON the Chinese,


A representative of the Times had
an interview yesterday with Mr.. Gee
Gam, Chinaman, who is interested
in the advancement of his country
men. He believes that they are
steadily decreasing in number in this
country, owing to the hostility of the
majority Of the people Of the Pacific
coast. Whereas, hundreds come here
each spring, thousands return to Asia
each fall. In his opinion, the emf
grants now moving to America are
very much superior, morally and in
tollectually, to the earlier arrivals.
There are now about FIVE hundred
Chinese families in the United States,
the women Of which are virtuous and
industrious. Abandoned and vicious
females are not so humorous as for
merly, and, in the course Of a few
years, they will disappear altogether.
Mr.. Gam thinks the only thing the
Chinese need to make them respected
citizens is the ballot
