Mrs. D0veturtle's Diary.

January 2. What charming people
the Coobiddys are! I do hope we shall
meet them again at the Toodys' ball.
February Those dear Coobiddys
have been to dinner. What delight
full woman she is, and what q well-in-
formed man he is, and how charming
are the girls! so unaffected-so NIGEL
March g. We have been to the Coo
biddys'. What a duck of a house it is,
and how sad to think their lease is up!
April 1.-The house next door to us
is to let, and the Coobiddys have taken
it. How delightful to have such nice
neighborsl 49,: 81
May 1.-The Coobiddys have dined
with us twelve times during the last
month, and we have dined with them
thirteen times. We owe them dinner.
June 30.~-Mr. Doveturtle says that
our Henry is almost too young to marry
dear Rose Coobiddy, and that dear Fred
Coobiddy ought to be year or two
older before he marries our Marion;
but I cannot say that agree with him.
July 31.-Thank goodness, at last Mr..
Doveturtle has given his consent, and
the day has been fixed for both mar
nages. .a.l.... -..,',:- ,..,. 80
August 81. What delightful month
We have spent with the dear Coobiddys
ct Newport! What pity the holiday is
over! .
September .1.-Mr. Doveturtle's tenn
per is very uncertain sometimes. Suppos-
ing he did invest in those wretched
shares on Mr.. Coobiddy's advice, he
need not be ride to our friend and
neighbor. ..........
!. October 1O.-If what Mrs. Toody says
is correct, Mrs. Coobiddy is a false, hol-
low-hearted woman.
November 5.-Ouf Henry and Marion
have returned all the publishing pres
ents. If the Coobiddys had any sense
of honor they would see that their child
rem did the same, and not stick to all
that was of any value. ...
Christmas Day.-Somehow I always
thought there was something wrong
with the Coobiddys, and now they are
! sold ont at anction 10 ."'

Two Brothers.

There was an affecting and dramatic
scene at q wedding among colored peo-
pie in Pittsburgh last week, when two
brothers whom slavery had divided
were suddenly brought together after
long separation. They had been born
in Maryland, and the planter, whose
property they were, becoming embar-
raised in business, was obliged to part
with some of his slaves, and the two
boys were among those whom he sold.
One of them was taken to Texas, the
other to Virginia. They had grown to
be men before the war came, and never
expected to see each other again. After
emancipation they both went North
and engaged in business, but they never
met. Each supposed the other to be
dead. To this wedding went many col
ored people from the South and West
emong them the brothers. AS they ap
peared to be strangers, some one intro
duced them. Before the day was over
ttaaey discovered their relationship and
each had told the story of his life.
5sf.a.H Scene In Church. -,i l,es
X The day was intensely cold. The con-
,gregation had assembled and the .serv-
ices were begun. A. man mufaed in
heavy coat and scarf entered, and, walk
ing hurriedly down the aisle, seated
himself misconceptions place. Directly
before him sat man with fery-red hair.
The newcomer deliberately took off his
gloves, and, with an air of perfect salts
faction and comfort, alternately held his
hands near the red head before him, and
rubbed them in the manner which Hood
has described as II washing his hands
with invisible soap in impercep6ble
water" @.7@ '''5' n rt4tt#f5 I7df /, a d

l feel under obligations to the contribu-
tor, who, with his usual courtesy to an
honest opponent, has desired me to give ali
| opinion, as regards these Police Jury mat
tiers, so as to give both parties a chance to
express their news.
As regards the 'fricotteurs' of 1894 I
think they ought to be allowed to rest in
peace. 1t was the first experiment of the
Republicans in that line. and did not, l am
afraid succeed very well. AS far as the
Schneider Police jury is concerned, that
but though the attention of the proper au-
thorities was called to the subject, nothing
really discriminating appears to have been
found. The five additional members were
appointed by a Democratic Governor, on
the recommendation of Democratic Party
authority, which had certainly a sufficient
number of grave and reverend seigniors"
to choose from, the correspondent being
the then executive officer of that Party, if
| mistake not. Five men, chosen from
that class should certainly have controlled
the material the Republican section afford
ed. and if the action of that combination
has not proved satisfactory, the blame
must be charged TO the Democ cratic Party.
Speaking of the action OF the new Police
Jury, fully appreciate the impracticabili-
| ty of the plan. proposing an immediate de
livery OF ferry leases on adjudication, but
can only find in the proceedings il p,esenta-
ton of the ordinance, by Mr.. Franklin-nO
record OF its adoption, unless it be Ordi-
nance No. ll6 at the bottom, and no ayes
and noes are recorded, thus rendering it
impossible to fix the blaine upon any partic
ular members.
Concerning the Road and Levee Ordi-
nance, it certainly does look very bad for u
body of men, to appoint its W members
to offices of profit. and the amount appears
most excessive. particularly under present
circumstances. In this case also can tiEd
no record of the vote, which prccludes any
attempt totix the responsibility.
After all 1 should like to ask, whether
this Police jury has Il Republican, or Demo.
cratic majority, II matter which no fellow
appears to be able to find ont. \ Republic
can leader has stated, shat the Republicans
had elected and controlled seven out often
even to the extent of making me Secretary
of the Jury, which | did not seek yet
| they elected all Democratic Officials. and,
on looking ut til" list. can find but three
Republican names. How is this?
Any way, however, it appears likely,
| that we shall have another election this
year, when unsatisfactory officials may be
replaced.
AS regards myself, though l NEEDLE very
little in politics, and am by no means a
persona grata' with the gentlemen, who
have the monopoly OF the CONNECTION of our
tickets, yet, recognizing the great impor-
tance Of securing a thoroughly efficient Pc
lice Jury, | shall gladly do my best, in urg-
ing my party friends, to support none but
the very best men obtainable.

Symptoms Of 8 Diseased 4ver,

DAM 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
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom.
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are c~ostive, 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.
