DR. C. McLANE'S
; CELEBRATED '
LITER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatite, or Liver Complaint,
DVWRfSIA AND SICK HEADACHB.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the fight side, ..under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
ade; 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 wijh loss of appe
tite and-sickness;- the bowels in gen
v eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a 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
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would be „ beneficial tQ him, yet
he can scarfcfly summon up fortitud
enough to fry It; fn fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
nave occurred where few of them ex
isted ytt examination of the body,
alter death, has shown' the LIVER to
nave been extensively deranged.

HOW SHE MAHBIED FOJt ItIONBY
Addie Arlington looked at herself in
the mirror, and then turned away with
a little smilo of happy satisfaction, that
rippled over into a joyous laugh as she
canght her cousin Ellie's eyes.
'lon are thinking lam vain a&a pea
cock, arn't you, Ellic? Weill do look
well, don't I? And I'm awtully glad of
it, because cousin mine, it wilt be all the
easier for me to come off victorious in
the campaign I havo laid out for u'yself
'during my three months visit with you.'
She spoke with a charming frankness
that made Miss Nelliston smile back in
the lovely, girlish face.
'And what may your plans be, Addie?
Of course it is a settled question thai you
shall take New York by &tonn. You
know, of couroe, also, that your pretty
face will secui e that happiness to you.
But iui ther than that, what, little mis
chief maker?'
She looked fondly, proudly at Addie,
whose dusky eyes were glowing like
•stafs. —" ' -r-? ■ r -
•Oh, only my arrangement for the chief
end of woman—marriage? I tell you, EN
lie, lam going to tnako hay while Hie
sunshines—in other words, while I am
in New-York, I am going to secure some
rich—oh. some awfully rich fellow, who
can smother me with diamonds and dress
es, and give me all the money I want—
enough'to buy everything I can think
of."
Miss Nclliston laughed at the girl's
honest enthusiasm.
•You rapacious little cormorant! You
certainly have erected a very amliitiou*
standard, but J cannot see who or where
the desirable part is. I am quite sure
yon deserve just what yon want, dear;
but the question is, can you go it ?'
Addie shrugged her pretty 6houluers.
'Ellie, I shall get it! I know just exactly
my own worth; Now don't put me down
as a vain, silly creature, because I frank**
ly admit f regard nrfyself good looking,
and quite desirable lor a wife' generally.
lam fairly good natured — am I not. EN
lie? and I ought to have a good husband,
oughtn't. 1?'
She leaned her soft, fair cheek caress>-
ingly on Miss Nelliston's face.
'lndeed you ought, my darling. And
if I could, 1 would conjure one to order
you. Addie. you are beautiful
enough to wiu the highest and b«st iuthe
lahd.'
'* And she was very beautiful—and all
the more so that she was not llie least
vain of her charms.
Sending there, beside the dressing
mirror, iu her evening dress of delicate
pink silk, with her fair white arms bared
just below the dimplsd elbow, the dainty
hands cased in creamy kid, the joyous
happy face, whose features were so ex
quisite, whose complexion was so richly
warm and satiny in its pa'e, brunette
beauty, whose eyes were so deeply dusk,
and lustrous, and eager Addie Arlington
was certainly sweet enough, and win
some enough, to I'uliy warrant Miss NeN
listou's loving assertion.
•If only there was anybody rich enough
"in or about NflW , unmarried, to
satisfy you. chiklie!'
Addie laughed.
'l'll tell you a secret, Ellie. I'm going
to take my lort by storm, and when you
see me the betrothed bride ol an English
milord, Ellie —' ,
Miis Nelliston gave a gasp of positive
horror at the girl's andacitv.
'Addie Arlington, you don't mean you
actually have designs on the illustrious
guest tbat the Van Rensellaers are ex
pecting—the English nobleman, all New
York is on the qui vive about him!'
The g»rl!a silvery laugh accompanied a
very defiantly positive shake of her silken
bkirt*,asiftbat graceful little gesture
added ftcoatrofertible emphasis. /
'Exectly. eoo«i» Ellie. You needn't
look so horrified# I'm sure the prospect
of having a Lady Grosvenor ln the family
ought to delight von.' ,; j

aback to the prospective hon

The ulasie, bidden in a covert of ferus
and rose trellises, was playing a lovely
fanlaise in low, soft delicious chords , and
dozens of couples were promenading the
suites of rooms, Addie Arlington and
Fred Jernyngham among them, and the
young gentleman evidently not delight
fuilv interested in the tenor of the young
lady s auimated conversation.
'Why, lie is the hnndsomest man lever
saw in my life! Of coun>e, I'll except
you, Fred I' and the pearly teelh twinkled
in a smile for a second. «3ut I want to
hear Lis name. 1 want to know all about
him. Fred, is he rich?'
It was impossible for
young Jernyngham to understand wbeth-i
er or not Addie was in earnest.
'Hisname is—Melton; and 1 know
nothing whatever about him, except that
he is a memoer of an engineer corps at
present in iho city. I don't know wlmt
there is about lum so remarkably baud
some.'
He glared at the unconscious target of
his and Addie's eyes with a scowl that
delighted her.
'You're not to be supposed to see any
masculine attraction beyond your own
Freddie. But if he's only an engineer—
lltuk! that's our waltz.'
And off they glided, a faint flush on
Addie'B cheeks, as Mi', Mel'on's hand
some blue eyes caught hers and hold her
sla nee a second, despite herself.
That was the way it began: and a
month later, when New York society
was stirred to its soul by the deferred
advent of Cuthbert Grosvenor, MissNel
liston wondered why it was that Addie's
enthusiasm had so completely died
out.
'You're a mystery to me, Addie,' she
said, as they drove home from the crush
at Airs. Van Kensellaer's on the occasiou
of Lord Grosvenor's complimentary re
ception.
And for the first time. Addie's leply
was a little sharp:
'I don't see where the mystery is, I'm
sure. Whatever there is about a little.
fat, bald-headed old man to admire, I
can't see.
'But lie's a lord, all the same, Ad
die.'
'No, it is not all the same at all, Ellie!
how,insufferably hot the rooms were to
night I I tiad the most wretched head'
ache.'
The next afternoon, • a magnificent
coach and pair, with lho armorial bear
ings of the house of Bilverland—Lord
Grosvenor'S illustrious family—with
coachman and footman, in his lordship's
livery of silver and maroon, drew up at
Miss Nelliston's door, and toe little fat,
puffy old geutleman defended, to pay
his oomplimeuts to the prettiest girl of
the night before—the only girl who bad
at all interested him -Addio Arling
ton.
Alter that—well, Ellie hardly knew
Addio,so variable aud capricious she
grew: now in the wildest spirits, again
dejected aud petulant; until • one day
there came, by one ol the liveried ser
vants, a written propo3al of marringe.on
a saiiny sheet of paper, bearing a 'crest
aud monogram in silver aud maroon, and
signed in m little crabbed spidery baud,
"Grosvenor"—a letter that offered her,
in a very gentlemanly nnenthnaiastic
way, all tbegraud good things, tbat bad
been her sole aim in life to possess aud
enjoy. , i ,
While by mail, not ten minntes later,
had come another letter, thai made the
girls heart Ibrill, and ail her pulse stir,
as she read the passionate prayer for her
self to be given to the man who loved her
—Philip Melton, with bis handsome face
aud his salary as an enginert
For several hours, Ellie wondered
what Addie was doing, so long alone in
ber room and then, by~anLby, she
came aoftly down stairs, a sweet flash
on ber face, a tender pride in ber eyes a
thrill ot perfect contentment iu ber
voice.
'El lie, dear, I want to tell yon. I have
refused Lord Groavenor offers of mar*
riage, ard accepted Philip.'
And without a question, Ellie pat her
arm /rtwut tbe slight form and kissed
her.
•You hare done right/' she said simply
and gravely. " O
•If yoa «ml permit me, might I ask
whyyao decline mv offer?' Lord Groe

happinese and pride as she answered

'Mr. Helton I a fellow on a salary!'
'Pardon me, my lord—a gentleman,
rich in nobility, in goodness, and in lore
for me.'
'Oh, thats it! Butahoafc the money?
Miss Arlington, there is not a wish iu
the world that shall remain a moment
nngratffiod,that money can procure, if
DAY OCTOBER 8 1879
you will honor me.'
'I shall want only *what Pailip can
give me, sir.'
His kindly eyes twinkled good-na
turedly.
Then Miss Arlington, am I to con
sider my answer absolute?you postively
decline to become Lady Grosvenor, to
live at Silverland Park, to be a leader of
London society?'
She smiled sweetly and proudly.
'I an so re I have decided. I thank
yon ter the great honor you have paid
ine—l shall be proud of ft all my life,but
I cannot, because I love Philip Melton
more than all the world and what is in
it.
•Addie my true little darling! Addie

And Philip Melton stepped ouj from
behind the curtains ol the bayswindow,
and took tier in bis arms, his handsome
face all smiling and proud as ho turned
to Lord Grosvenor.
; 1 told you so, sir I She loves me, and
is true and sweet in her loyalty to the
man she loves! Addie, perhaps you will
not mind so very much that after all ( vou
will be lady Grosvenor some day? For
Lord Grosvenor is my father, and I am

us for our little rose? We had hoard you
were so desperately determined to marry
money, an 1 the iLoment I saw you I
knew there was a heart that would eon-,
q'jer ambition—a heart I wanted to cou*
quer on my own merits."
Addle listened, bewildered, and Lord
Grosvenor laughed.
'Blesa your blight eye% child I you
nearly templed me to be treacherous to
Silverlaud there. But you'll not re*
fuse me for a father-in-law, I hope?'
And, iu hei almost royal home, Addie

[St. Louis Republican.]
The veteran showman, Dan Rice, is on
a professional tour through Illinois, and
a rural Republican editor there, whose
loyalty has been touched by some of bis
ring witticisms, calls him "one of those
bitter and aggressive Democrats known
in aate-hellnm days as "fire-eaters."
Though Dan'n politics are of veiy little
consequence to him or him or anybody
else it is only fair to nay that he claims
to be an "Old Line Whig." Whether
it was t.he devotion to the dead party
which aroused Mr. Lincoln's sympathies
or, what is more lifcely f he wauted to
draw upon the inexhaustible fund of
fun for which Dan is so famous, it is
certain they were always warm personal
friends. Aud, Ringularly enough this
friendship, which began probably in
Lincoln's early days, was continued by
him alter ho became President, and
when it might be supposed the pressure
of care and responsiblity would drive
alt circus memorits out of his mind.
Whenever Rice visited Washington
with his show during the gloomy years
from 1861 to 1865 he was invited to
come to the White House after the
evening performance, and usually the
Presidential carnage was waiting for
him, so that he might get there as
soon as possible. Lincoln received
him in his private office, and, all cere?
mony being laid aside, the two Would
exchange stories and jokes, live over
by-gone tiotes and scenes 'in which the
humorous predominated, and have a
mutually refreshing season of it. On
one of these occasion, ' when, as urtiyl,
orders had been given to admit nobody,
a card wad brought up. Lincoln re
buked the servant tor the unwelcome im>
terference, and then looking at the card,
said: "Well, Dan, theie's no help for it;
we must let him in. He's a big bag from
Massachusetts, and won't do to deny
him now that he has sent in his name.
But you stay and I'll soon get rid of
him." Accordingly in a few minutes a
genuine representative of the highest
respectability of Boston made his appear
ance and saluted the President with pro
found dignity, and anounced himself as
a committee appointed to present a set
of resolutions lately passed at a large
Republican meeting in his State. These
resolutions, as Lineoln knew, embodied
a rather severe criticism of administra*
tionpolicy, Ht that time too mild for the
Massachusetts "stalwarts." Listening
attentively to the preliminary remarks
of .the Boston gentleman, be took the
psper, bat without making any reply to

A Paris correspondent of the Philadel
phia Times writes:
'The ex-Em press of Franco Is said to
be one of the richest widows in England.
In addition to her Hungariou estate she
has a castle in Spain and a nice place In
Switzerland. But hard cash is what
comes most useful to dethroned sover
eigns who hone to return, and of this fhc
Empress has long had abundance. It is
estimated in Paris that sho is worth at
least a million sterling. Only recently
she sold a large block of house property
in the Rue d'Albn, in Pari*, and M.
Rouber's house, a well known political
center at the corner of the Rue de I'Ely
see, was hers, in her own right, and was
sold Inst year tor £15,000. The death of
i he Prince adds to her property, since he
lett to ber a considerable amount of land
ed property in Italy, as well as the Too
louse property, bequeathed to him by the
grisly General who had been eqnerrv to
the Printe when ho toddled about the
corridors of the Tuileries nearly three
feet high, and weighted with the minia
ture uniform of a colonel in the Cente
Uarde. This vast property was no in
cumbrance to the Empress while she had
a son to live and scheme for. It was
drained pretty|lreelv by the Bonapartiat
organs the press In France. The Ordre
and the Pays were lavishly supported by
the Empre-s. and she also drew handsome
checks in favor of the redaction of the
Oaulois. The need for paying these fires
warm is now dead. The Empress is not
likely to keep newspapers alive to work
for ber good cousin Jererae; she will not,
however, find her ncbes am embarrass
ment as long as the priests have ready
nccess to her. A newspaper supplies
large outlets ior superfluous cash, but} 1
think on the whole the chnich can bold
its own in rivalry of this character, and a
good church woman like the Empress
will not find occasion to distress herself
for means of disposing of the interest,
and eventually the capital, ot a million
sterling.' i
If The Dye* »f Others,
We never adopt the sentiment of those
hackneyed lines ot Bums about seelug
ourselves as others see us. We crave no
such gift. We would hardly risk looking
at ourselves with the eyes of our best
friends. Tlito are hundreds of weak
nesses which our self lovo obscures
which do not escape the optics of our
best adinirors. As we stand before the
inlrrior. the reflection that meets our
eyes Is that of not a .very uncomely per*
son. We cannot see that our nose is de>
cidedly pug or unduly large, that our
rnouili hus not a sweet expression, or
that our eyes are certainly not pretty.
We enjoy the reflect ion that we are nut
so ill favored as Snubbs or Snolkins,and
that despite some irregularities ol feat ure
wo are decidedly presentable. Alas!
how would this agreeable delusion be
we ft a moment borrow
the eyes ot Miss bibbs, whose quizzing
stare we Interpret into one of admiration.
So, too. wheu we have dispensed a pat
ronizing shake of the band upon a circle
we flatter ourselves that our boariug
wins, and almost compels their lavor.
But how humbled would we be could we
see that this smile of approval i 3 but
assumed aud they really regard us with
contempt. Sometimes, indood, others
think ot us more favorably than wetbiok

a ru'e, we were wiser to accept the seem
