DAN 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 1t 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 a 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 weariness 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 exer- else would be beneficial to him, yet 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- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.

the planet Jupiter is not completely
formed, like the earth, but is in pro-

Senator Eaton, chairman Of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations, is going to
create a pleasant diversion In the Grant
movement by investigating certain charges
made before his committee as to the manner
the resources of the government have been
drawn upon to assist Grant In his tour
around the world. For instance, 1T has been
charged before Mr.. Eaton's committee that

shape that the request was made to appear
as coming from the influential and powerful
government OF the United States. Under this
arrangement any other distinguished citizen
of the United States might be put through
exactly the same line OF receptions that the
people backing Grant have tried to impose
tributes OF foreign governments to the worth
OF Gen. Grant. It will be remembered that
Grant, in his responses, has invariably said
that he regarded the demonstrations as
tribute to this country. This has been cred
tied to the ienerals modesty, but it only
employed to help him in his advertising
care ar around the world, preliminary to his
theatrical return to this country to canvass
for the perpetual Presidency.

II seems that the act Of January 25, was
considerably modified by the bill as passed
making appropriations for the payment of
arrearages of pensions. If the pension was
eurtailed under the old limitation, the ar
rears are not now necessarily allowed
from the date Of discharge, but from the date
of development Of the pensionable disability.
Instead Of being fixed for the whole back
period at the rate at which the pension wa
originally allowed, the rate is now to be
graduated according to the degree of the
pensionablc disability from time to time.
If pensiOnable disability occurred in service.
the arrears date from the soldiers dis
charge; if pensionable disability arose after
discharge from causes arising from service,
then the arrears date from the appearance or
development of the pen>ionable disability.
Pensions alloWel by SPECIAL acts and dating
from the approval Of said acts, are not affect
ed by the new law. The increase OF two
dollars a month to widows on account OF
children, and to children themselves, will
not be affected by this law. Such increase
as heretofore will not begin prior to July
25, 1866. The arrears are payable from
any money in the Treasury, not otherwise
appropriated. How much of this there will
be, remains to be seen.
