This important organ weighs but about 8 lbs,

lgallons) passes through it at least every half
lhout, to have the bile and other Impurities
filtered from it. Bile is the natural purgative
lof the bowels. and if the Liver becomes tor
pid it is not separated from the blood. but
carried through the veins to all parts of the
system, and in trying to escape through the
. pores OF the skin, causes it to turn yellow or a
dirty brown color. The stomach becomes dis
| eased, and Dyspepsia, Constipation, Headache,
, Biliousness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers,
/, Piles, Sick and Sour Stomach, and general de-
| bility follow. Merrell's Hepatire, the great
vegetable discovery for torpidity, causes the
l liver to throw off from one to two ounces of
bile each time the blood passes through it, as
| long as there is an excess of bile; and the eff
feet of even few doses upon yellow complex
ion or brown dirty looking skin, will aston
ish all who try it-they being the first symp-
toms to disappear. The cure of all bilious dis
eases and liver complaint is made certain by
taking Hepatine in accordance with direc-
lions. Headache is generally cured in twenty
minutes, and no disease that arises from the
liver can exist if fair trial is given.

darper'S Ferry Gnas night. The Fedora
commander at that place hearing of the ex
petition, fired the arsenal after midnight
and crossed the Potomac, so that when the
Virginians entered the village about O'Clock
on the morning of the 10Th of April, 1861
they found that they were too late to prevent
the destruction of from $4,000 to IS, 900 stand

At Strasburg Capt. Imboden being with
out horses for his guns, sent to all the neigh
boring farms, and ''impr essed'' them from
the stables, and from ploughs in the furrow,
greatly to the disgust OF that pea cefu and
peace loving population, who then little
dreamed of the storm OF war so soon to swee
over these very fields.
In explanation OF the promptness with
which these Stanton volunteer companies
turned out in response to telegraphic orders,
1t may be stated that on the evening of the
10th of April a full meeting of both compa-
nies had been held, and Capt. Imboden was
delegated to 60 to Richmond next day,-the
l6th-and ascertain how soon they would
probably be needed, as war was then emf
nent, and the men, representing almost every
walk in life, desired to set their houses in
order, and be ready to perform the citizens
highest duty. Capt. Imboden reached Rich
mond on the 10Th, and within an hour or
two met Gov. Wise, as herein before stated,
when matters took this course heretofore
narrated. Before sending orders to Staunton,
Capt. Imboden had telegraphed his convic-
tion that the crisis had been reached in the
convention, and that all had better make
their arrangements instantly for any emer-
gency. This information went out from
Staunton all over the county that afternoon,
and, when followed by the orders of that
night, brought out the whole population. A
few weeks before Augusta had voted more
than six TO one for the Union candidates fer
the Convention. A few weeks later her
popular vote for secession was within nine |
votes of beng unanimous! She furnished |

SECRETARY SCHURz has sent letter to Con-
gress urging changes in the pension system
such as have been recommended by the COM
missioner of pensions for the past three
years, principal among which is the publica-
ton of application. The Secretary thinks
that the expenses of adjusting claims under
this plan will not exceed the present annual
expenditures for the same purpose, and after
The expiration of three or four years, within
which period the accumulated claims will
nave been disposed of and the business of
he bureau brought up to date, will be very
much less than the present expenditure.
The publicity of the proceedings, added to
he scrutiny given the case by the surgeon
nd clerks, would, in his Judgment be suffi-
lent protection to the government against
fraudulent and unmeritorious claims, and
,hiIe the simple and direct methods of the
Ian would greatly increase the facilities of
he meritorious claimant to obtain speedy
,ttlement of his case, and thereby protect
is interest, they would be an obstacle only
the way of those who attempt to defraud
e government. Mr.. Schurz's plan certain
deserves trial.

ST. PAUL,S OPPORTUNITY.

We are now nearing the season when our
city ought to take new start forward, and
in local enterprise, in private and public
building, and the extension of all lines of
business, evince new energy. Whether this
will be done, depends on the sagacity of our
capitalists and leading citizens. Already are
there signs which indicate that the coming
spring will be an unusually busy one. There
are numerous building projects on foot which
show activity among real estate men, and
will cause a demand for labor. The new
union depot; the construction of the boom,
with its concomitant saw-mills, and flour
ing mills; the long needed public market,
which will accommodate our produce farm
ers, market-men, and citizens generally, and
add to the good looks and asset value of the
city-these and other private ventures in the
building line, all stand in evidence of a re-
vival of business. Our mechanics, artisans
and laboring men may look forward to a
season of more than average prosperity, and
under the impetus of this improvement,
there will come gain in the way of popula-
ton. Business men from other States and
places, persons drawn hither by the fame
and advantages of the city, will add to our
mercantile strength, and to the number Of
householders.
In view of this state of things, it is of the
utmost Importance that our citizens CO.
operate in all plans likely to promote the up
building of the city. It is time when those
who oppose public improvements should be
set aside, and the voice of our solid men to
advance be heard and needed. More than
this, it is time in which to anticipate the
prospective needs Of the city. Just now
nothing would prove greater accommoda-
ton to our inadequately housed population
than the building of number of blocks of
tenements, renting from fifteen to twenty
five dollars month and situated so centrally
as to meet especially the convenience Of
business men. With so much property in
the very heart of St.'Paul unimproved, it
seems as if the call for houses might lead to
the erection at once of the same, for moder-
ate priced rentals. Nothing would contrib
ute more to our growth and to the increase
of the value of real estate. If there is mani
fest public spirit and wise, determined
energy on the part of all classes of our citi-.
zens in meeting these necessities of the
present, and facilitating the projected public
improvements, this year will see st. Paul
making new advance, and maintaining its

BLA1NE's advocacy of the anti Chinese bill
in the Senate is the cause of good deal of
denunciation of that eminent statesman
among newspapers of his own party. They
charge that his speech on the subject was
only demagogueical plea for the votes of
the Pacific States in the next Republican
National convention, and point to the incon-
sistency shown by comparison of his po-
sition on that subject and his former able
pleas for equal privileges for all men, with
out regard to race or previous condition of
servituae. It's none of our funeral, and,
therefore, we have nothing whatever to say
about the matter. If Blaine's friends charge
him with being a demagogue, we will not
undertake to dispute them, for probably they
know his character as we'll as we do.

The Chicago excursionists, so-called, have
spent month on a trip to Mexico, and have
returned home. We have read the reports
of the correspondents who accompanied the
expedition, and have only this conclusion to
draw: The excursionists have had good
time, plenty of free lunches, an abundance
of good things to drink, surfeit of prom
ises, with no positive proof that any closer
intercourse than that now held will ever be
undertaken unless the United States foots all
the bills AS the government has got enough
on its hands now, we do not apprehend that
it will undertake to develop the industry and
commerce of Mexico for 10, these many days.

New YORK and Brooklyn preachers are in

before his presbytery with sensationalism,
designed or calculated to awaken libidinous-

courtesy; Brother Hepworth has been kicked
out of his tabernacle for scandalizing his
acknowledgment, and Brother Beecher has
shocked the Congregational world by avow-

The case of Mollie Faucher, the girl who,
it is claimed, has lived fourteen years with
out food, has been for year past a decided
puzzle to medical men. It now seems to
have simmered down to the level of most
modern miracles or humbugs. While the
woman has shown a wonderful degree of en-
durance while being watched, it has been as
certained that she has been secretly fed all
these years, and has had very good appetite
for an invalid. The pretense that she has
lived on faith all this time has been most
effectually exploded.
