Henry Clay and the Goat.

The following anecdote Of Henry Clay
has just been published for the first time
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 sportive goat. he
gailantly in spite OF his years and office,
seized the goat by the horns. The wo
man thanked him warmly and sped
hurriedly on Mr. Clay would have liked
to move on also but the goat had it's own
views about the interference with his
innocent amusement As soon as the
woman's deliverer loosed his hold on the
two horns, the animal rose msiesticaly
on his hind legs and prepared for a
charge. In his own defence Mr. Clay
now took the animal as before by the
horns, and thus tor time they stood
while a crowd of street boys gathered
about. immensely amused at the unusu
al spectacle of senator and goat pitted
the one against the other in a public
street AS long as Mr.. Clay held the
goat by the horns. all was well enough.
But the moment the quadruped was free
came a fresh preparation tor a charge.
Not boy offered assistance, but after a
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 es
sayed to pass on Before he could tairly
turn away, however, the goat up in
lofty preparation for new charge. Mr.
Clay gave his enemy the floor or the
pavement once more, and keeping him
there. turned to his new adviser with the
question, And what shall do now p

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
;ostive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the back part There is generally a
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,
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.

putrid mass, which is absorbed into the blood,
and by that it is conveyed to all parts of the
