Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver

DA1N 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 tho 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
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
cral are costiye, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with 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
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning.
and he complains Of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that cxcr,
else would be beneficial, to him, vet
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-
lsted, 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 a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgativc, they are unequaled.

The heart ought to give charity, when

Avoid slanderer as you would a wasp.
There is poison on his tale.

only whoa it asoends towards heaven.
Age, that lessons the enjoyment of life,
increases our desire of living.
1t is tho rugged highway that coll out

ease..
There is gift that is blow, and there
is kind word that is munifccnce: so much

Don't carry your head SO high that you

The BEST kind of revenge is that which

refuses to take any revenge at all.

The Pope and the Danceuse.

When Plus TX. was Pope, Fanny Elssler
visited Rome, danced and set the public
crazy. In torty-eight hours the gilded youth.
her admirers, had subscribed IL, 900 francs
and bought splendid crown to be presented
to her as testimonial.
When the time came for presenting the
danceause with it, one of. the subscribers, an
excellent young noble, obtained an audience
of the Pope and asked if there would be any
thing wrong in the presentation-if the Pope
had any objections.
Il have neither objection to make nor ad
vice to offer," said His Holiness, ''but it does
seem to me that you might have pitched upon
more appropriate gift. In my simplicity
as priest, l have always thought that crowns
were made for heads and not for legs"
The crown was duly given to the danceuse,
who meanwhile had heard of the Pope's say
ing, and promptly sent the value of the gift
to the parish priests for their poor.
Plus * heard of this in his turn, and
when next be met one of the subscribers to
the testimonial, said to him:
''You were quite right in giving that wo-
man that crown-she has just proved that
there is more sense in her legs than you had
in your heads"

The Largest Tree In the World.

In San Francisco, encircled by circus
tent of ample dimensions, is section of the
largest tree in the world-exceeding the
diameter of the famous tree of Calaveras by
five feet. This monster of the vegetable
kingdom was discovered in 1874, on the Tule
river. in Iulare county, about seventy-flve
miles from Visalia AT some remote period
its top had been broken off by the elements
or some unknown forces, yet when it was
discovered it had an elevation of 24O feet.
The trunk of the tree was III feet in circunl-
ference, with a diameter of 35 feet inches.
The section on exhibition is followed out,
leaving about foot of bark and several
inches of the wood. The interior is 100 feet
in circumference and 30 feet in diameter, and
it has seating capacity of 200. 1t was cut
off from the tree about twelve feet above the
base, and required the labor of four men for
nine days to chop It down. In the center of
the tree, and extending through its whole
length, was rotten core about two feet in
diameter, partially filled with soggy, de-
cayed vegetation that had fallen into it from
the top. In the center of this cavity was
found the trunk of little tree of the same
species, having perfect bark on it, and show
ing regular growth. 1t was of the uniform
diameter of an inch and half all the way,
and when the tree fell and split open this
curious stem was traced for nearly 100 feet,
usually straight, but occasionally gnarled
and twisted as though it had met impediments
in its growth. 1t is believed to have sprung
from seed in the bottom, grown the whole
length of the trunk, and supported q green,
living top at the summit The rings in this
monarch of the forest show its age to have
been 4, $40 years.

Mexican Weather.
[Traveling Chicago Correspondent

[Traveling Chicago Correspondent
But they say that old fools are the worse
fools. There are middle aged men here,
some of them Americans, who have been try
ing for years to get money enough to take
them back home. This may seem pretty
tough, but it is actually true. And l don't
believe they will ever get back. They have
no more goaheaditiveness in them than so
many owls. If any American wanted to 60
to Mozambique, and had no money, there is
no doubt he would find q way to get there.
But after living in this enervating climate
a while, man sits down under palm tree
and waits for the ravens to bring his dinner.
and the ravens are very slow with the dinners
in this country Upon the table lands, and
in Mexico City itself, the climate is not so
enervating; it is more productive of Rheu-
matism and toothache. Here is climate
bill of fare: 9 a. m.. getting up time, very
chilly; 10, chilly; II, comfortable; IL, noon,
warm; 1, very warm; 2, hot; 8, very hot; 4,
cooling off; 5, comfortable; 6, cool; z, chilly;
8, very chilly; 9, overcoats; 10, ring bell for
blankets; II, blankets haven't come; IL, 1,
2, etc., freeze all night. They keep telling
you all the time here that in this country a man
can have any climate he wants-warm, cool,
hot, cold. or temperate. So be can, but he is
obliged to take great deal of extra climate
with it that he didn't order and doesn't want.

OsSIAN TO THE sun.
BYRoN's VERSION, HITHERTO UNPUBL1sHE

o thou who rollest in yon azure field,
Round a. the o. of my forefather's shield,
Whence are thy beams? From what eternal store
Dost thou, o Sun! thy vast efulgence pour?
In awful grandeur, when thou movest on high,
The stars start back and hide them in the sky,
The pale moon sickens in thy Frightening blaze,
And in The waters wave avoid thy gaze.
Alone thou shinest forth, tor who can rise
Companion to thy splendOr in the skies!
The mountain oaks are seen to fall away,
Mountains themselves by length of days decay,
With ebbs and flows in the rough ocean tost,
In heaven the moon is for a season lost;
But thou amidst the fullness of thy joy,
The same art ever-blazing to the sky!
When tempests warp the world from pole to pole,
When vivid Iightnings flash and thunder roll,
Thou, far above their utmost fury borne,
Looket forth in beauty-laughir them to scorn!
But vainly now on me Thy beauty blaze,
Ossian can no longer enraptured gaze!
Whether at morn in lucid luster gay
On eastern clouds thy yellow tresses play,
Or eIse at eve. in radiant glory drest.
Thou tremblest at the portals OF the west,
l see no more! But thou mayst fall at length,
Like Ossian lose thy beauty and thy strength;
Like him, but for d season, ir thy sphere
TO shine VITA splendOr then to disappear!
Thy years shall have an end, and then no more
Bright thro' the orld enivening radiance pour,
Bul sleep within thy clouds, and fail to rise,
Needless when morning calls thee to the skies!

The Newspaper.

There is probably nothing so common of
which SO little is known, or about which there
is 80 much curiosity, as the newspaper. Men
read it every day; they abuse it, threaten to
give it up, praise it, advertise their wants in
it, write to it, search it to see if their letters
are in it, call it hard names, pay for it year
after year-and still to ninety-one out of a
hundred of them its production is complete
mystery. To them it is business office, a
newsboy, or a post-office, who are simply
carriers, and that is all. 1t is the exemplifi-
cation of effect without cause-an imperson-
al institution with plenty of vitality, and
sometimes even with genius; but it is always
mysterious, even to those most intimately
connected with it. The whole of its secrets
are known to no single individual. Its per-
sonality is swallowed up in the editorial
''we," into whose depths no man penetrates,
and even the inquisition of the law never gets
behind its innermost curtain.

what Max es the Roaring.

In the current number of the Medical
Record. DR.. Hammond says that when you
poke the end of your finger in your ear, the
roaring noise you hear is the sound of the
circulation in your finger; which Is fact, as
any one can demonstrate for himself by first
putting his finger in his ears and then stop
ping them up with any other substance. Try
it, and think what wonder of a machine
your body is, that even the points of your
fingers are such busy workshops that they
roar like small Niagara. The roaring is
nothing more than the noise of the circula
ton of the blood 1t is the voice of all the
vital processes together-the tearing down
and building up-processes that are always
going forward in every living body from con-
ception to death.
