K,, ,.. , 4 1 ? 1 1 Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN 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 donev 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 ; his spirits are low ; and although ' he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely . summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact,-he distrusts-Mevery remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the-disease, but -eases -have occurred where few, of them existed, yet exam iiiatjori;4)f the) pQdy,;' after, death, has shown 'the liver to have been exten sively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. MTcLane's LiyeH Pills, in cases ' of Agues' and Fever, when ttaken, with Quinine, aref productive of ..the mgslihappy results.,:. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are un equaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. : Thej genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane's Liver Pills. The genuine McLane's Liver Pills bear the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros, on the wrstppers. " Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the . name McLane spelled, differently but same pronunciation. 5 AND IOC.

Hon. James M. Edmunds, Washing ton City postmaster, died at his resi dence Sunday afternoon at half past three o'clock.

During the four months ending Fri day the total amount of gold brought to the last port of New York from Europe was $71,67250, or an average of $513, 826 for every day of the one hundred and twerity-one. These figures are very significant. v Rev. George White, rector of Calvary Episcopal church, Memphis, Tenn., was stricken with paralysis Sunday while addressing a Sunday-school class. He was removed to his residence on a lit ter in an extremely critical condition. He is 82 years old. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat strong ly advocates the establishment of cot ton factories in that city, which it thinks ought to be one. of the greatest cotton manufacturing centres on the continent, as it is becoming one of the most important primary cotton markets in the world. A committee consisting of Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati Gazette, Amor Smith, internal revenue collectorSam'l H. Drew and D. W. Belding, left Cin cinnati for Washington Sunday night to urge on the executive committee the advantages of holding the Republican national convention at Cincinnati. The Grant tide seems to be ebbing in Ohia A'Repoblican paper -at Marietta publishes interviews with twenty-six influential Republicans of the neigh borhood, only two . of whom are for Grant; all the rest are opposed to him, and a part declare that they will not vote for him if nominated.

Frederick Roach, of Scranton, Pa., sent his 16-year old son to Taylorsville, Pa., Saturday, on horseback, for some oil of vitrol.

When found he had torn his clothing off, and soon after died in great agony. re- Froni tbe Novel of tbe Future Oil City Derrick.

As she flew' heavenward, ' the employes held" their breath and closed their eyes the spectacle was fearful to witness. But X oring John, the assistant, who had ad mired Marianne from afar, was alive to the emergency.

The statistics furnished by Mr. Ghas; Francis Adams, Jr., the well kapwn railroad expert, go still further than this, and seem to bear out the par adoxical speecfi ascribed to Jno. Bright, to the ..effect, that., the safest place in which a man could put himself was in side a firstclass railway carriage of a train in full motion. During the years lSTO-S the whole1 number of lives lost iai -operating the entire railroad system of Massachusetts .was 1,165, or an aver 'age of 146 per year, white in Boston the recorded deaths from accidental causes from 1868 to 1878 were 2,587, or an an nual average of 259. Thus there are 80 percent, more deaths in Boston from accidents, than there are on all the rail roads of frife State The records of trav eLand of casualties in France show the same state of facts. Moreover, there is but a small uroDortion of nasseneers PnTfecTin the. totalof such accidents. A large numefaDfc-iualties affect mil road employes, who- are necessarily ex posed to -wererj dangprain the line 01 their employment, the constant en counter with peril rendering many of the?n foolhardy and reckless.: But Mr. Adams i shows . that- the. greatest and most , regular; cause of accidents and deaths jn'lbQ Operations of railroads is the, habit bf walking on. the trackwhich is indulged in, by, a great many people, and especially by drunken people. Over one-third of all the railroad casualties reported in Massachusetts are covered by the class of accidents to trespassers that is, accidents to men, Women and children illegally walking, lying or playing on the tracks or riding on the cars. The Pennsylvania Railroad has lately adopted the system of broken stone ballast to cover the entire road bed, which, by its sharp and uneven surface, causes tramps too much dis comfort to encourage them to persist in track-walking. This plan is recom mended by Mr. Adams as the best pos sible one for preventing this dangerous practice, at one and the same time giv ing railroads the very best of road-beds, and materially lessening the percent age of accidental deaths and injuries. It is good policy for railroads do to all they can to reduce such casualties to a minimum, for the sake even more of the moral effect upon communities than of the mere saving of money, and in this view of the case it would be well for both railroad managers and legisla tors to examine the railroad laws of England and compare them with those prevailing in this country. In England all grade crossings are prohibited by law. No railroad can cross another up on the common level, for the reason that the law in that country regards rail roads as private property, and such a crossing would be trespass. On the same sensible theory to walk along a railroad track is an act of trespass, and every one who does so is duly notified by conspicuous sign boards that he is an offender and is liable to be arrested and tried for the misdemeanor. This stringent policy is, of course, made more necessary in that country than it has so far been in this, in consequence of the greater density of the population, but it is certainly expedient for our railroads near the large cities to imitate it as closely as possible. Grade cross ings create an element of danger which, as has been well said by a leading rail road authority, "gains in magnitude with every increase of traffic and of the speed of trains, and eventually the de struction of life and property becomes inevitable." Trespassing on tracks is quite as dangerous, and quite as neces sary to-pre vent by appropriate legisla tion. As the authority already quoted says : "Many people think they have as good a right to make a foot-path of a perma nent way as to walk on the common roads, and suits have repeatedly been brought by such trespassers to recover damages for injuries they received from moving trains. If the English idea generally prevailed it would greatly re duce the number of men who are maim ed or killed by the railway operations of this country."

John Greenleaf Whittier, the most child hearted as he is among the foremost of American authors, writes of St. Nich olas : "It is little to say of this maga zine that it is the best child's periodical in the world." Prof. Proctor, the astronomer wrote from London: "What a wonder ful magazine it is for young folks, and ours are quite as much delighted with it as American children can be!" That it is calculated to delight the little folk everywhere is indicated by the fact that it is to be issued in French by Dela grave of Paris and that even the far away little Moslems are now to have a volume made up of translations from 8t Nicholas into Arabic by Rev. H. H.
