Symptoms of a DiseasedLiver.

DAIN 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
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a 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 prickly sensa-
ton of the skim his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
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-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

The Last Polish Revolution.
Contemporary Review.

Carrying on struggle of despair, with
out any support, the Polish patriots yet
kept the whole power of Russia fully oc-
cupied for nearly year and half. To-
ward the end of the insurrection more
advanced party, which had organized it,
found itself compelled, through increas-
ing difficulties, to enter into closer rela-
tions with the Moderate, or so-called
aristocratic, party of Polish emigrants
abroad, whose political connections and
financial means, it was supposed, might
give some aid to sinking cause. 1t was
all of no avail. The agony was a long
and tragic one.
AT last the catastrophe came, and with
feelings of deep emotion we greeted
General Langiewicz on his arrival in
London as a feilow-exile. l will not un-
roll here the picture of the fresh horrors
that followed upon the overthrow of a
rising which had been the result of un-
bearable atrocities. To do so would re-
quire the brush of brueghel, the paint
er of hellish demons. There are no in
nocent persons" General Sobolewski
said in 1868, when presiding over one of
the Commissions of Inquiry at Wilma

inquire to what degree every individual
is guilty" "The law? exclaimed Gen
eral Murawieff, with a satanic leer-w

well-known phrase, not of the Mura-

He, Berg, Anjenkoff and other military
executioners of the Torquemada school,
did their sanguinary business efficiently
all through this terrible period. The
very name of Poland was struck from the
official phraseology in Russia. There
was henceforth only Department of the
Vistula. The Polish speech was pro-
scribed in public. The tyrant tried to
tear out the very heart from nations

shed tears at the sight of the misery Of
an exiled Polish family. When asked
whether His Majesty would not, in the
fullness of his power, do something to

The Albany Express, speaking Of the
man who is supposed to be guilty of an
attempt to blow up the steamer Drew,
says: Augustus Bowers, clerk of the
Penitentiary, while on visit recently to
the prison at Concord, N. H., came across
a likeness of the notorious individual
now confined in our Jail and known as
The Man from Peru The picture was
taken at the time Of his incarceration in
prison for obtaining money under false
pretenses, representing himself as an
agent for procuring machinery for min
ing purposes in Peru. He was sentenced
under the name of Alexander Barnard,
alias Alexis Bailey, January 18th, 1878,
and pardoned out August I'd, 1878, he
being at that time supposed to be suffer-
ing from dropsy; at least he managed to
get out on that plea. 1t is related that
while confined in the Ballston Jail on a
similar charge he rubbed himself with
croton oil, to cause an eruption of the
skin, in order to create the impression
that he was victim of smallpox. Mr..
Bowers gave the picture to Chief Maloy,
who will place it in the Rogues' Gallery"

Large Seals IN the st. Lawrence.

The capture of large seal in the river
near Longeuil was noted in the Witness
some two weeks ago, and to-day we have
to announce another, Mr.. Edgar Thomp-
son, of Hochelaga, having killed one
while rowing between the latter place
and St. Helen's Island about noon. The
seal in this case is a very fine one, meas
uring four feet eight inches in length,
and weighing ninety-six pounds. The
appearance of seals SO far south as Mon
treal is not altogether rarity, but such
as have been captured have been of very
small species, in no degree approaching
in size the two taken THIS month. That
they should appear more frequently this
season than usual is in part attributed to
the circumstance that the water Of our
Upper st. Lawrence is colder than in
former years. Saltwater fish are said to
more numerous in the river than form
erly.

The s.H olaOrabIe Bilks.o
[Chicag0 News.I

As few people fully understand the nu-
merous parties which have divided the
politics Of California, it is important just
now to know who constitute the "Honor-
able Bilks" This party is represented by
the San Francisco Chronicle, one of whose
proprietors, G. B. DeYoung, attempted to
kill. S. Kalloch. The principles and
ingredients Of this party are thus ex-
planned by one who affects to know: 'The
name Honorable Bilks' is a term ap-
piled to De Young by Kearney after the
former had made that unscrupulous prop
osition to the virtuous Dennis to sell out
the party. since that time the Constitu-
tional party, instead Of being called by
that name, has been dubbed the 'Honora-
BILE Bilks, Kearney's epithet having stuck
to them, instead of the name having been
chosen by the members Of the Constitu-
tional party themselves, as was the i'm
preston sought to be conveyed by capi-
talistic hirelings."

idle, drunken youth, whose chief wit
lies in practical jokes, who browbeats his
tutors, dodges the University authorities,
cheats the tradesmen, and has all his
vulgarities condoned by the obsequious-
ness of the college "dons," who are ready
to make any allowance for young man
of spirit, who has liberal allowance and
is the son of country gentleman resid-
ing in Blank Manor-house. This absurd
exaggeration had some basis of truth
in it thirty years ago, but has
long ceased to be even probable
At that time there were college
officers, who, having taken their
degrees at the university, had also taken
a worse degree in the school which taught
Uriah Heep his humility. The first pro-
test against the mean adulation of rank
and wealth was made 40 years ago by
Merton College, which refused to admit
what were called "tufts," that is, noble
men privileged by reason of wearing
peculiar kind of cap and gown, and gen
tlemen-commoners. The rule has been
initiated subsequently by all the colleges,
and for the last twenty years or 50 the
only persons who have been admitted in
this costume were the Prince of Wales,
Prince Hassan, and Prince Leopold.
That some excuse would be made for the
son of Duke which would not be al
lowed in the case of commoner's son,
may be safely anticipated; but the uni
versity and college authorities are not
much worse than English society is gem
orally, which shows marvellous tender
ness to the sins and escapades of the no.
BILE and the wealthy.

what Killed Gautier.
saturday Review.l

Gautier possessed some of the charac-
teristics of johnson. Like johnson, he
was melancholy, and possessed by the
fear of death which sometimes haunts
men of great physical strength and
courage. When he was i'll the dread of
death came upon him instantly. Among
the modern inventions which he detested
was the custom of "reportage," the in
dustry of interviewers, and of the spies
of the tattling newspapers. His splendid
flow of talk was checked in general So
ciety by the fear Of seeing his good
things in the Figaro next morning. A
newspaper gossip fastened his decease.
He had long been ill; but his relatives
concealed from him the nature of his
complaint. .,-
They did their best to mystify the
newspaper people who came with their
inquiries, and to keep newspapers out of
the poets sight. One unlucky morning
he read in column of twaddle that
"Theophile Gautier has heart disease"
and this manner of conveying intelli-
gence really hastened his end. If Gau-
tier, like johnson, dreaded death, like
him he was profoundly superstitious. He
believed in omens and warnings, in the
dangers Of enterprises begun on Friday,
in the perils that environ people who
number, thirteen at dinner, in the mis-
chiefs that attend the spilling of salt.
His romance of "Jettatura" does not ex-
aggerate the ardor of his belief in the
evil eye. He could never even mention
NJ. Ofenbach, who passed for being a
jettatore, without making the signs
which are supposed to act as lightning
conductors and to carry off the streams
Of evil.

New York SUM-


1t may be doubted if the Republican
of Ohio will find much use for
Alphonso Taft as campaign stump
speaker. His opening effort at Cleveland
last week was not full of promise. The
speech was remarkable in several respects.
1t made no allusion to the contest in the
State, and did not mention Fosters name
as a candidate for Governor. From first
to last it was dry discussion of the rel
ative powers and rights of the general
and State Governments, and mainly a
defence of his own action as Attorney
General under the Davenport election
laws, and his instructions to marshals in
enforcing them.
Father Taft has an excellent opinion
of marshals and deputy marshals and su-
pervisors, having employed them on the
most liberal scale in 1875, and having ap-
proved their accounts without asking any
questions, to the extent Of nearly a third
of a million of dollars. In the case of
marshal Of st. Louis he did venture to
suggest that there was "too much sugar.
in the bill, but as the support of three
members of Congress had been secured by
scandalous corruption, he signed it and
the money was paid.

snatched from the roaring waters:
Buffalo Special.]


The most narrow escape from going
over the Niagara Falls that has been re-
ported this season was experienced a few
days ago by Mr. V. H. Abbott, Of Bed
ford, KY. He was one Of number Of
excursionists from the South who were
visiting the Falls. The party, when this
accident occurred, were on Luna
Island. Mr.. Abbott was walk
ing along the brink Of the
rapids when he slipped upon wet stone
and was pitched into the water. For
tunately several Of his companions were
so close at hand when he went in that in
very much less time than it takes to tell
about it, they grabbed him just in time to
save him from being carried beyond their
reach by the current of the swiftly-rushs
ing waters At first they were only able
to hold on to him, as their position was
upon treacherous ground, rendering their
safety perilous; but with the arrival Of
additional help, after considerable exer-
ton, conducted with great care, they were
able to rescue the terror-stricken Mr.. Alb
bott and landed him upon terra frma
once more. His feelings while in the
water, and the reaction following his res
cue, can be better imagined than de-
scribed, .r

LICENSE TAXES.

The following able article taken
from the New Orleans City Item
is equally applicable to many of our
country towns and Parishes In a
world in which men are commanded
to earn; their bread DO the
sweat of their faces
the imposition Of license
tax before a man is permitted to
labor has tho appearance of an i'm
position. Yet such has been and
still is the policy Of our municipal
rulers. Many and many prom>
ising enterprise has been crushed
in its inclpiency b. demand for
license taxes, and thus the accumu-
lation of values which would be
the legitimate subject Of taxation,
has been prevented. Though it is
understood that home industries
are exempt from taxation yet by
some invidious device attempts to
tax them are constantly made, to
the great annoyance Of those WHO
are striving at once to advance
their own and the public veal.
License arc the evidences OF an
oppressive statecraft. They are
opposed to free action, to free trade
and to the very spirit of freedom.
Moreover, they are as impolitic as
they are unjust. Not only should
industry be encouraged. but in CONS
munities where capital is scarce
what there is should not be driven
away by extor:ionate taxation, and
if more is inclined to come, it
should be fairly welcomed and
equitably treated. Let the pru-
dent politica. economist glance owe:
our license schedule and be will
find most startling array of dis
couragements to both industry and
capital.
So depressing is the effect that
people who are inclined to engage
in small manufacturing enterprises
either decline to do go altogether
or move away beyond the city's
limits. We also understand that
the agencies of several insurance
companies are about to close up
their business in this city because
they cannot in justiceto themselves.
pay the license tax demaned: A
policy on the part OF the city au-
thoritics which produces such re-
suits is absolutely suicidal. 1t kills
the geese which lay the golden eggs.
In might be polite for the State
10 require insurance companies,
whether foreign or domestic, do
ing business here, to make certain
investments in State securities, as
guarantee in favor of policy hol-
ders, but it is certainly uuwise to
drive them hense through the ope.
ration Of an oppressive tax.
