DEATH OF REYNOLDS, THE
AUTAOR.

The telegraph announces the death OF
this famous London author and jour-
ualist. Al . writer Of political history
combined with romance and the sensa'
tional after his own peculiar style, he
has been unsqualsd in his day. although
his later writings have shown q natural
decline Of vigor and . falling on OF the
writer toward obscurity. Many OF his
most popular works have been OF no
eood to mankind, and. notwith-
standing thsir peculiar attraction,
Il were better that they had never
BEEN written. Reynolds was q man Of
very positive character and disposition.
and was an advanced radical at Q time
whom there was soms risk in the express
sion OF extreme opinions in England.
A. political writer be was opposed to
constitutional authority. denouncing
Church and State with equal severity.
and bsing In reality an atheist. he re-
vilsd al the commonly recognized sacred
traditions OF mankind.
A Q writer Of fiction he sacrificed
everything for the sensational. appeal
ina to the bassr passions Of his readers.
and even In those OF his works which
bad . pretsnce to the historical.
q, for instance. his Mysteries
Of the Court Of London" this idea
wa not lost sight Of by any means,
while the attack on the royal family OF
ENGLAND involved therein wal gross,
cruel, and not justified by honest fact.
The love tales in "Rsynolds' Miscsl-
lany" also are q sample Of his pandsr-
ing 10 the immoral proclivitiss OF .
kind, al for the sake Of the sensational
and profitable. Altogether his literary
record In Q bad one. aud it were much
better that hs had never lived. In his
weekly newspaper he attacked the great
Irsh libsrator with all the m~alsvolsnce
Of his nature, and O'Connell rstortsd
BY dsnouncins him as the son Of q csle-
brtsd Irish informsr who had earned
more blood money from ''ths castle"
than any other hsartlsss betraysr OF his
e~ountrymsn to their English opprsssors.
Reynolds made an attempt to deny his
paternity. claiming to be the son OF .
captain In the British navy, but o'Con.
nell held fast TO the truth OF his u
tion and the matter remained in doubt.
Very few among the good and pure Of
the world will regret that the source Of

pysFsrsIA-AN SICK HEADAcHE.
Symptoms of Diseased Liver

DAIN in the right side, under the edge
1 of the ribs, increases on pressure;
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 fre-
quently extends to the top of the Shout
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax:
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation in
the back part. There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of hay-
ing 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 OF
burning, and he complains of 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 forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER TO
have been extensively deranged.s

Henry Gay and slss Goas.


The following anecdote of Henry Clay
AS he came out of the Capitol at Wash
ington, one day, seeing frightened wo-
man in the street, vainly striving to ward
off the attacks of a sportive goat, he gall
lantly, in spite of his years and Office,
seized the goat by the horns. The woman
thanked him warmly and sped hurriedly
on. Mr.. Clay would have liked TO move
on also, but the goat had its own views
about the interference with his innocent
amusement. As soon as the wOman's de-
liverer loosed his hold on the two horns,
the animal rose majestically on his hind
legs and prepared for charge. In his
own defence Mr.. Clay now took the ami
NAL IS before, by the horns, and thus for
time they stood, while crowd of street
boys gathered about, immensely amused
at the unusual spectacle of a Senator and
goat pitted one against the other in a
public street. As long as Mr.. Clay held
the goat by the horns, all was we'll
enough. But the moment the quadruped
was free came a fresh preparation for a
charge. Not a boy offered assistance,
but after while one ventured to suggest,
''Throw the Billy down, sir" Mr.. Clay
at once accepted and adopted the report
of that committee, and tripping the goat
up essayed TO pass on. Before he could
fairly turn away, however, the goat was
up in lofty preparation for new charge.
Mr.. Clay gave his enemy the floor or
pavement once more, and, keeping him
there, turned to his new adviser with the
question, ''And what shall do now ?''
''Cut and run, sir, p replied the lad.

COrFee RaIsing an California.

A correspondent of the Pacific Rural
writes: The coffee we get in the stores
will not grow. sent to the Rev. j. w.
Alexander, friend in the Sandwich
Islands, for seed. He sent me sack of
the best Coma Coffee, which, by the way,
is equal in flavor to the best Mocha. I
planted part of it in my hot house in
boxes; planted the berries with the hull
on just rs they come from the tree. It
was slow in starting, but when it did
spout up it came up like bean, with the
grain of coffee on the top. The shell
dropped off and the young plant was
soon clothed with bright, green, glossy
leaves. 1t was an evergreen. trans
planted the young trees so as to secure a
strong trunk and a good root. Last Au-
gust, in order to harden the trees, then a
year and six months old, removed and
placed them under the shade of some ap-
pie trees. They flourished and grew well
until the frost came. They were in very
sheltered position, but were killed, root
and branch; not one left. This is all I
know about raising coffee in California,
and all wish to know.

Carving Fowls.

It makes no difference whether you buy
turkey, goose, duck or ehichen, the result
will be the same. In other words, these
remarks will be so shaped as to apply to
all manner of fowls having wings. 1t is
better to buy the fowl and pay for it, but
this advice is not intended to prejudice
any one from obtaining their chickens IN
the usual manner. Having secured the
fowl and baked and roasted it, it becomes
the duty of the head of the family to pre-
pare it for eating. Some people use forty
penny nails to spike the chicken down to
a plank, and then do the carving with
buck saw, but there are other and more
convenient ways Place the fowl on the
kitchen-table. Attach chair to the leg,
aud make fast to the leg of the table, or
| to eye-bolts driven into the wall. A third
chain should pass from the neck
of the fowl to the opposite end of
the table. The victim then is in that con-
| dition commonly known as "where he
can't wriggle." If ropes are used~instead
of chains, they should not be less than an
/ inch in diameter and the best of hemp
| It is now question of what manner you
wish the fowl to be carved. If company
is expected to dinner, it should be carved
in a way to leave the fowl to the family
and the bones to the company. If it is
for the family alone, the wish-bone should
be given to the baby, while the head of
the family should take the neck, and be
thankful he has been spared to live an
another year. A fowl carves up like clock
work. if one only knows how to begin.
As every man has weak point, so hath
a fowl, and there is no use spending over
half an hour looking for it when the bal
ance of dinner is waiting. If carved with
a knife, but little preparation is needed.
The carver should remove coat and vest,
and secure firm grasp for his feet, and
muscle and faith should do the rest
There are carvers who seem to imagine
that if they can get under the fowls
wing the question is rs good as settled
for the fowl. Such caFvers have not
studied anatomy either human or animal.
You might as well expect to stop wo-
mans tongue by breaking one of her fin
gers. Nearly all the fowls have about sc
different bones in their makeup, and you
have doubtless seen many which appeared
to be all bone. These so bones are the
briek-worlzs as it were for the remainder
of the fowl to be erected on, and nature
makes no mistake. If you strike the right
bone in carving, the whole brickwork
gives way in heap and the carving is the
work of i've minutes. 1ea o6 1855

1t is difficult to imagine more cruel
device than what is known as tile water
Torture in Japan, the originators of which
relied upon the torments of thirst as
more powerful than mere corporal suf-
fering. The prisoner is for several days
confined to an extremely salt diet, with
out rice or water. When two or three
days have passed, the craving for water
becomes incessant, and the suferings of
the tortured man approach the bounds of
insanity. Efforts are then made to OBJ
