In the matter of giving presents gen
erally, there"ha8 grown up a gross abuse.
The original intent and meaning of the
gift have been destroyed. Holiday
presents too often are not the loving of
ferings which they should be. They
are either given as bribes or because
they are expected. Now and then,
somebody receives a gift which brings
the giver so delightfully to the mind of
the receiver that it is a real joy. Or a
company of employes present to their
employer or associate a token of their
respect and affection which is so gen
uine that it needs neither apology nor
explanation. But the whole business
of giving presents is so overdone that
most of our readers will sympathize
. with that courageous Boston girl, who,
being about to lie married to "a man of
limited Income," as they say in Boston,
requested her dear friends not to send
any wedding presents. She was afraid
that she might not be able to reciprocate
in kind. This wise girl of Boston struck
the key-note of the bridal-present move
ment She would be expected to keep
an inventory of gifts received, and a
list of the donors, and Avhen any of
these had a wedding in their family,
she must give something at least nearly
equal in value to those which she had
in each instance, received. We have
heard of a young lady who was endow
ed on her wedding day with fourteen
silver butter knives. Reserving two of
these she put the rest away "in laven
der," and when her turn came to con
tribute to the general joy of her friends,
she faithfully returned the twelve but
ter knives to the twelve families from
which they came. In this case we must
suppose there was nothing said about
the loss of interest on the original in
vestment This incident suggests, also,
the nuisance endured by those receiving
promiscuous gifts from promiscuous
friends, so that that they are embarrass
ed with duplication and reduplication
of articles which are, ajt best, mere su
perfluities. Young people, who begin
life in a nlodest Boarding house, are
sometimes loaded down with table-ware
and furnishings fit for a small hotel.
THE FEARFUL FAMINE IX EGYPT.
The People Naked and Starving Like
Dogs.
London, March 26. The correspon
dence of the Times, dated Arment, up
per Egypt, February 24th, gives a heart
rending account of the condition of the
population of the Nile Valley. The
scenes described resemble those in In
dia during the recent famine. In some
of the villages the people are past help,
sitting naked, like wild beasts, eating
roots and suffering with the endurance
ot" despair? "Madness, worked on by
famine, stamps such a brand on the
starving' Fellahs as cannot be easily de
scribed. In one town the women and
children fought over scraps of bread
like wild animals. The case is believed
to be still worse in the inland hamlets,
where the villagers are said to be starv
ing like dogs.
Wh6 M-
Schurz Will Marry.
From Joe Pulitzer's St Louis Post
The following is from the Troy Times :
u There is a rumor that Secretary Schurz
is engaged to marry one of the daugh
ters of a highly-placed officer of the
government. It is thought that the
"highly-placed officer" is Mr. Evarts,
who has eight daughters, four of whom
are in society. The particular young
lady in question is the oldest of Mr.
Evarts' daughters, a most . charming
person, with golden hair and classic
features. The union would be one of
eminent fitness, inf spite of the evident
disparity -of -age- For, -in reality, Mr.

"Bellevieu."
BV HENRY D. CAPERS.
We extract the following from the
New York correspondent of the Ral
eigh Observer, March 24th :
"A review of Henry D. Capers' novel
'Bellevieu' shortly to be published by E.
J. Hale & Son, 17 Murray street, made
by an accomplished Virginia gentle
man and a recognized critic says : 'The
work is one of decided merit. Treats
varied subjects in an easy, elegant style,
without offending in politics, religion
or morals; indeed the author brings
these subjects up to the highest stand
ard in a charming story, engaging the
interest of the reader throughout and
leaving us with a substantial feast for
the mind. The delineations of charac
ter are admirably made.'
"As far as I have read the advance
sheets the story presents a pleasant pic
ture of Southern society before the war,
with transitions to Saratoga and Hart
ford, Conn., and a true picture of its al
tered phases since. AVe trust the author
will meet with such encouragement as
to enable him to publish other works
now ready, including two other novels,
and an interesting history of the civil
service of the Confederate government.
Aleck Slepheus's Budget.
LWash. Cor. Charleston News & Courier.
It would be idle for ine to attempt to
forecast the possible length of the pres
ent session. Mr. Stephens thinks we
should begin upon a system of general
legislation, that he must know is utter
ly impracticable, or, if practicable,
would require six months' legislation to
effect. lie says we should tear down
and rebuild our system of internal reve
nue, abolish the tax on tobacco, let the
mountain farmer "boil his corn into
whiskey, as he boils it into hominy,"
without asking or paying the govern
ment anything for the privilege, issue
$"00,000,6oo more of greenbacks, give
free coinage to silver, and issue coin
certificates for bullion sent to the mint,
&c, &c, blocking out legislation enough
to keep Congress continuously in ses
sion for a year, at the end of which
time the Democratic iarty would be
shattered into pieces if his leadership
were followed. Mr. Stephens is a man
of national reputation and the pride of
Georgia, but 1 have closely watched his
course for two years, and I am forced to
the conclusion that his day of retire
ment is at hand. Georgia could easily
be more effectively, if not more efficient
ly, represented by several men whom I
know. "Little Aleck" bulldozes his dis
trict so that there is not a man in it
that would venture to oppose him, how
ever. Why Thealres are Wanted.

CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, .-or Liver Complaint,
DYSPETSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver,
PUN in the right side, under the
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 stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness ; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something 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 com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin ; bis spirits are low ; and although
he is satisfied that exercisfc wuld 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 existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after dgath, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
