Popular Liver Complaints.

brooklyn Eagle.
A lady who had become convinced of the
wickedness of wearing her hair crimped
addressed Mr.. Bcecher upon the subject,
and solicited his advice. While the dis
tinguished divine confessed that he did not
feel Mt liberty TO give any advice under the
circumstances, he clearly intimated his be-
lief thnt his fair correspondents liver was
touched. The suggestion opens upa new
avenue of conjecture not only rs to the cX-
traordinnry taste manifested by some fc-
males In dressing their hair but also as to the
possible causes of some ofthc recent styles of
bonncts. Advocates of the standard that
demands minimum of art in dress would
doubtless be greatly relieved If they could
feel that such grotesquc departures from
simplicity were capable of correction by
the use of calomcl or liver-pads.

"WE MIGHT AS WELL be in Russia" pro-
tested the indignant Herr Johann Most
when sentenced to an English Jail for six
teen months at hard laoor. In the vigorous
language of the London rufiian, Herr Most
will consider that he has made bloody bad
business of it. That editorials "inciting to
murder" should be so severely dealt with,
will, perhaps, awaken other minds to the
thought that ink is not the most harmless
of fluids, and that pen may be as mighty
as sword even in hand not entirely
great Considering the mildness of the
penalty, the iratc editor may, however be
thankful that he is not in Russia.

FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1881.

lHb NokhESfoNDbNIS Ol ScNcrhi NeSl-
ern newspapers have Published statements
to the effect that the Secretary of State has
to request the resignation of the Attorney
General We feel authorized to say that the
Secretary of State has done nothing of the
kind. Neither has any other member of
the Cabinet given the President any such
advice While it is undoubtedly true that
many of the performances of the Attorney
General have not been of n character to
elicit the ardent admiration or the enthusi-
astic Endorsement of other members of the
Administration, nothing has as yet occurred
IN his conduct sufficiently grave to demand
the heroic treatment rumorcd by the cores
pondent Of Western newspapers. In fact, we
feel warranted in remarking that the Attor-
ney-Genoral is viewed by the predominant
influences in the Administration as an indi-
vidual of decidedly pyrotechnic proclivities,
given to going off, as it were, with loud noise
and much flashing Of prematurely-burned
powder; but never loaded with ball cartridge
or other dangerous missile. 1t is also toler-
ably plain to the other and more important
factors of the Administration that the At
torney General, having never before tasted
the cxhilarating nectar of power, is trihc
inebriated with the exuberance of his own
conceptions of sclf-importance, and, under
such stimulus, has been led to advertise
himself in the capacity of a great Reformer,
not to say Savior of the Country, somewhat
more extravagantly than the pressing needs
OF the public service would seem to demand.
But thus far the demonstrations of the
Attorney General under stress of this emo
tional pressure have served rather to amuse
than to dismay his more conservative col
leagues, and their inclination is to give
him-as we advised day or two ago-all
the rope he wants. with view, no doubt,
to see how amoosin the little cuss can be
as the late A. Ward said of his pet crocodile
that he was training to walk on stills. We
hope this somewhat solemn announcement
will for the time being serve to dispose
Of the absurd rumors set afloat by the cor
respondents of Western papers referred to
1t is not altogether impossible that it may
be part of the Attorney Generals own pro
gramme to get himself forced out of the
Cabinet just at this juncturc in order that
he may proceed to masquerade as candi.
date for the Presidency on the strength OF
elaborate newspaper canonization as mar
tyr, who, having cndeavorcd to reform
things, has been sat upon by those vile men
whom the prevailing corrupt state OF
American politics tends to uphold in high
public place. If this be, as is suspected q
feature of the Attorney Generals own pro
gramme, we feel warranted in saying that
he will not be accommodated. All that viii
be done to him, as the Administration is now
advised, will be simply to prevent him from
enlarging the sphere of his absurdity be-
yond the immediate confines of his own De.
partment.

THE PLEASURE to be derived from hunt
ing something seems to be the only ex-
PLANTATION for tho use of pigeons in the
shooting matches. Balls can be sprung
from n trap just as surely as birds-in fact,
even more certainly, as springs of metal
answer more directly than those of living
tendon. The ball responds to the crack
shot with unfailing proof, and scores his
work with a precision that cannot be ex-
tracted from the quivering limbs of a
trapped pigeon. The much-vauntcd mas
culine contempt for fuss and feathers might
be expected to assi3 in the decision of this
question, unless Vt is counteracted by bar
barous taste for blood

PEOPLE OUGHT to be thankful and they
will be when they happen to think of it,
for happy escape. The fashion books pre-
dicted hoods, and the hoods did not come.
1t was to be an epidemic, but fortunately
the thing did not take, and community
already groaning under burden of clothes,
may be grateful even for such a small favor
The hood in its original form is perfectly
admirable, half-revcaling, half-hiding
pretty face. 1t is one of the most bewitch-
ing bits of headgear that woman ever as
sumes. But the hood as proposed by the
fashion had been shorn of all its primitive
graces. 1t was to hang down the back like
a wall-pocket. Sometimes it rcscmbled the
queer things the ladies style catch-alls and
provoked the desire of the observer to drop
something in. Fortunately human nature
has not so utterly fallen from original
Righteousness as to accept,unprotestingly the
utterly useless. Unc0nsciously taste revolts
at needless absurdity, and bag hanging
down the back which cannot serve for a
knapsack, and is equally unsuited to act as
a cover for the head, manifcstly reveals it.
