London Cor. PRiIadelphfa TelegTsph. r e rs
About two years ago the British Gov
ernment had returns published in what
are known as The New Doomsday Books
showing how the country was divided
These returns were made for Conserva-
tive GoYernment, and are very mislead-.
ing but, even, takingthe figures as cor
rect, they show that four-fifths of Great
Britain is owned by 12,7OO persons; but
the figures are very far from being cor
rect. Manyof the large land owners are
counted over and over again. The Duke
Of Buecleuch, ,fortinstance, is returned as.
IA land owners, because he owns land in
IA different counties. The Dukes of Cleve-
land and Devonshire, Earl Howe and
Lord Overstone are returned as A land
owner, as these fou= mobiles have estates
in IL different counties. Mr.. Author Ar
mold, writing in the Nineteentb Centstrg,
some time ago., Npon, ''The Abuses of a
Landed Gentry," computed that the own
ership of four-fifths of Great Britain is in
the hands of about 1000 individuals, and
even this assertion needs qualifying, for

present owners really have nothing more
than life interest in the property. A
"dead hand' stretches over their estates,

where property is not entailed, the law

/ the subdivision of an estate. The old
feudal customs of this country are estab-
lished, confirmed, and encouraged by the
force and operation of law, which declares
in every county Except KeRt) in this
island, that if a landowner die intestate,

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
L 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 fire.
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
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
| considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of hav-
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 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 beneficial to him,
iyet 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.
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 FAIR TRIAL. A@t
For all bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.

New York Observer. q : ss.E
An article in the N. E. Farmer urges
upon our farmers matter which we
have often referred to as being good pol
icy as well as duty, the production of the
best of everything. 1t says: ''We should
aim to produce the best, whether it be
apples or beef; and in the marketing of
farm produce, it should be graded, as
the best will sell much higher, and the
next grade viii sell for about the same as
if the best had not been removed; SO it
will be seen that quite a gain is made,
when there is a difference of $I.75 in a
barrel of apples, or 3716 cents in bushel
of potatoes, as at present quotations /;
and in anything the farmer has to sell it
makes a great difference, whether it be
first-class, or only common. But this is
not all-it makes great difference
whether a man has the name of selling a
ftrst-class article, without any deception,
or the reverse of this. Every farmer
should lay plans this winter, and next
season strive to carry them out, for the
production of the best. Nothing else
should satisfy him; and, after it is pro.
duced, he should putt upon the market
In the most attractive shape"

Georgia's new Constitution gives the
of the jury list to three citi-
zensin each county, and they have put
one colored man to twenty whites on the
list, taking the State as whole. The
commissioners assert that this is as large
"a proportion as the standard of intelli-
gence and education will allow, but the
colored people are dissatisfied and demand
larger representation.

The Pennsylvania Forthcoming
Dividend.

On Thursday. May !, meeting Of
the Directors of the Pennsylvania rail
road company will BE- held for the pur-
pose Of taking into consideration the
question of dividend, payable at the
end of that month. In November the
last semi-annual payment OFF, per cent,
or 81 per share, was made, but as yet
no intilnatiou kas been given what the
coming dividend will be. Although
the business OF the corporation has con-
siderably increased since that time, it
is thought that the directors, at their
meeting on the first of May, will consid-
-r it most prudent not to increase divi-
dends until fully assured that the same
may be steadily maintained. The bust
ness of the Pennsylvania railroad com
pany, between the months of May and
November, is always greater than that
of the remaining six months; conse
quently it will be found easier to defer
the increase in the dividend until the
November period. In restoring the
credit of this company to six per cent.
per annuln, it is important that no risk
of attempting too much shall be incur,
red. A semi-annual dividend Of 81 pei
share at the present time is nearly
equivalent to per cent. per annun
rate on the present price OF the shares

The Licensa Q Question.

Chief justice Comegys has adopted
new rule in regard to branting licenses
to sell liquor. At the recent session of
the Court in Sussex county, licenses
were only granted to applicants where
there were NJ remonstrances. The
Chief Justice remarked that it made no
difference whether the application was
signed by II or "a names, if the promi-
nent men Of the community sent in a
remonstrance the Court would not
grant it. Under this ruling both the
applicants from Bfilseville were re-
fused, also, two from Johnson's \.
Roads, one from CannDn's Ferry, and
Mr.. Burholstan from Rehoboth, who
had located near the Bright House,
Just beyond the lint5 of the Camp
Meeting Association. This ruling Of
the Court, gives tn friends Of temper
ance some encourage nent to protps,
against the grantin Of licenses to new
houses and even TO renewing the license
of old on:s whose utjl ty or character
may be prcp'rly questioned. In our
city, howtver it seems that n license

unlicensed saloons, IN our most popu

make no formal complaint, and the

Such negligence in so grave a matter is
one Of the mysteries of the age. No
other law affecting such important in
tere,ts can be violated with equal i'm
punity. The authorities out of justice

out of justice to themselves should

WE HAVE BEEN gradually preparing

WE HAVE BEEN gradually preparing
to issue double sheet REPUBLICAN, on
Saturday, May Sd, for the benefit of
our numerous advertising patrons, and
also for our own benefit. Several col
umns of advertisements have already
been sent in, end we make an earnest
appeal to all others who intend to send
them in to do SO possible by We'd
nesday evening. 1t is true that a later
date would do for some, but If all will
put off sending in their cards until
Friday it would be impossible to have
them set up in time for Saturday even
ing's issue. We tell our readers frank
ly that we do not expect to print lO,-
600 papers, or 5000 either, as a mere
experiment, but we do expect to run
off an edition of $500 which will all be
sold and read by our home community,
where an immediate profit will be the
result. Ave would not have our readers
infer that the REPUBLICAN will not be
sent to towns down the State, for it
will. At Rising Sun, Riddles Banks,
New Castle, Newport, Newark and
many other towns as far down as Sea
ford, much larger number of REPuBLI-
CANS are sold by our agents than any
other paper published in the city, and
those who advertise in our double ex
ira sheet will have the benefit Of that
circulation. Recollect that the REPUB-
LICAs's circulation is not prospective
but solid and substantial, having been
obtained by the actual demand for the
paper, and 1t has all along been gradu
ally increasing ever since its introduc-
ton down the State. A paper like that
is worth more than ten thousand of
any other paper sent promiscuously
over the State to every Tom, Dick and
Harry, many of whom will never take
them from the post office, or if they do
they will not read them. Call at the
REPUBLICAN Office and learn the special
terms for advertising in our double
