THE countenance is pale and lead, en-colored, with occasional flushes, or a circumscribed spot on one or both cheeks ; the eyes become dull ; the pupils dilate ; an azure semicircle runs along the lower eye-lid ; the nose is irritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds ; a swelling of the upper lip ; occasional headache, with humming or throbbing of the ears ; an unusual secretion of saliva ; slimy or furred tongue ; breath very foul, particularly in the morning ; appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a gnawing sensation of the stomach, at others, entirely gone ; fleeting pains in the stomach ; occasional nausea and vom iting; violent pains throughout the abdomen ; bowels irregular, at times costive; stools slimy, not unfrequent ly tinged with blood ; belly swollen and hard ; urine turbid ; respiration occasionally difficult, and accompa nied by hiccough; cough sometimes dry and convulsive ; uneasy and dis turbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth ; temper variable, but generally irritable, &c. Whenever the above symptoms are found to exist, DR. C. McLANE'S VERMIFUGE will certainly effect a cure.

The Aged Tear. The year begins to tremble with decay," Like an old man who leans upon a staff, And in a graveyard reads the epitaph Of all his offspring who have passed away; Butyet soft breezes with bis thin locks play, - , Scattering his Badness with a Jocund laugh, While the great sun .yet warms In bis behalf, : And with his darts keeps winter still at bay.

By Telegraph to The Register. Cincinnati, December 27. A Little Rock, Ark., dispatch says Thomas, Ed munds, convicted of the murder of Juda Azerbrook and their child was yesterday sentenced to be hanged at Ozark, Ark., on February 27th next. Edmunds' crime was committed in 1878, The year before this he located in Washington county, coming there with Miss Azerbrook from Kentucky. He left "Washington county with her and their child, to go to Johnston coun ty, but never arrived, and Edmunda subsequently turned up at his Ken tucky home and said his companion had died at Poplar Bluff, Mo. Some months later human bones were found n the edge or the Arkansas river, near Sprada Landing, together with the clothes of the missing woman and child une or tne skeletons was identihed as that of Miss Azerbrook by means of a peculiar tooth. How Gould Bought Out Commodore Garrison The Boston Herald's Chicago corres pondent says that Jay Gould got con trol of the Missouri Pacific railroad by buying out Commodore Garrison's share in tne following manner: Une day while with some friends at the Wind sor Hotel, on Fifth avenue, Gould said to a son of the Commodore: "Look here, Garrison, would your father take $1,500,000 cash for his entire Missouri Pacific stock?" Garrison, surprised, thought Gould was joking, and said his father might take 1,800,000. He told his father of Gould's question, and the commodore was visited by Gould next day, asking if he would take $1,800,000. He said yesterday yes, but to-day $500, 000 more, telling him to-morrow it would be another $500,000 more. Gould came back next day, $2,300,000; the next, $2,800,000, and the next, $3,300,000. The fourth day Gould said he would take it at $3,800,000, and offered his check. Garrison wanted gold cash, so Gould took him over to the sub-treasury and eave him the amount in gold cer tificates. m 1 1 Ben Bill's Fees. Atlanta Constitution. The Hon. Benjamin H. Hill has made more money at his profession, without question, than any lawyer in the State. His fee in the famous Metcalf pase-is said to have been $140,000, but I'under stand that he received only $60,000 in cash. This was not his largest fee, as during the war, in 1862, avhen Confede rate money was good, he received over $100,000 in a case. in East Tennessee. In the litigation over the Kimball House he received at first a part of the house (one-third interest, I believe) and this j was cashed upon : Kimball's, en trance :upon the ownership.'" He sold his interest for $25,000 cash, which, with his rents for sometime, represented his fee. Mr. Hill has made several $10,000 fees, and would to-day be a very-Tich man had he not made enormous losses in cotton planting, which he has paid on. I A Quiet marriage. Baltimore A arnica a. ., . -,d The announcement of the marriagflf of Mrs. General John Pegram, an estimable lady, well known not only here in Baltimore, where she haa livwf since the war, but in Richmond and other cities, to Professor H. Newell Martin, of the Johns-Hopkins Univer sity, caused quite a fluttejf among.1 tfie; upper tens Of fashionable society when it came out on Saturday. They were? married early Saturday monnng, jatj Dr. Murkland's church, Dy that clergy-' man, and immediately left- for a .pro tracted tour North.

What Grant Says of the Southern Methodists In a speech Which het made bn Friday last to about sevdnty-frve preachers of the Northern Methodist Church, Gen. Grant said: ., "ThftrA was nodonbt about the luvaltv of the Methodist Church in the North, and there was no doubt of its disloyalty in the South.'

Baltimore Sun. : , ' , A long article descriptive of Edison's electric light, with' illustrations, ap pears , simultaneously in two leading newspapers, one at the Jast and the other at the Weak It is declared that Mr. Edison haarfOund, at least, what seems to ber an absolute solution of one of the most important problems that has engaged the attention of scientific men and inventors in our time. On various occasions the Sun has given an account of the progress that Edison was making in this direction, and of the doubts expressed by many scientific . . x t. 1.1 1 T 1 1 men as 10 wueuitii ju yvouiu ever sue ceed in completing a -verteet and ecc nomical electric light.:; This, however, according to the present account, he has actually accompliseed. He has dis carded the idea of usliig incandescent platinum placed, inr a vacuum under glass, and has adopted a carbon light of a pecuuar lancL . Alter many expen-j ments ne determine tnat tne soostance best adapted for caftMmization and the giving out of incandescent light wa3 paper, which he use? in the form of Bristol card-board in slips, placing it in an oven heated to 600 degrees Fahren heit. This carbonized paper is placed in a globe, the air is exhausted, connec tion witkthe generator is made, and the lamp is; ready for, ,use... According to the account this lamp is one of re markable simplicity. As: completed, it is a glass globo resUng. on stand, or it may do screwed on tne end 01 any Ordinary . cas "bUiher. and the wires from the electric battery may be con veyed to it m the tube that served to convey the gas to the same burner, Only the form of the lamp needs to be modified to serve for the table, or in brackets, or chandeliers. The eleo tricity may be generated from a bat tery contrived for household use, or from a central outside source, and. in either case, the light is altogether under control or persons in the house where it is used. It is alleged that it can be produced more cheaply than the cheap est oil, and that a meter has been per fected to measure the quantity of electricity used. He proposes, it is sajd, to light up Menlo Park on New Year's- Eve by the process we have described. "The metropolis off the World." The New York committee which has in charge the proposed world's fair to be held in that city in 1883 had an inter view with becretary Sherman and Attorney-General Devens, on Tuesday iasc, at me inn Avenue wotei. The committee called on the Secretary and cornered him to ascertain what he thought what his "views" were in regard to the wisdom and propriety of the international exhibition which is contemplated. "You, must make it also internation al," said Mr. Sherman. so that everv land and ever clime may be represent- UiiA OUU VT tllVli iJA UUUttO) XAiilL then Mr. Sherman ventured to prophe cy for the future, quite oblivious of the fact that the next national Republican convention is to be held at Chicago. Said the Secretary : "We may also hope to see the day when NewYorl&TplT-Hw vttoe Empire City of the world, when the finances of all nations shaft seek through her their exchange.'1 EvettWw'it is rapidly be coming so. San Frahcisco and the West is becoming the clearing-house for the trade of China and Japan, and California and San Francisco must necessarily make their exchanges with New York. I believe that in the fu ture the money power of the world will be here in this city of New York. There is nothing which we may not hope for in this country of ours." South Carolina Legislature A Basty Adjournment Business of the Ses sion. Columbia, December 24. The Legis lature adjourned sine die. to-day after a session of exactly thirty days, during Which upward of three hundred, acts haye been passed. The most important measure is the act to provide for the settlement of the debt of the State in accordance with the recent decision of the .State Supreme Court, which was passed by an overwhelming majority in both houses. This is regarded as a aiyicj&rx forthe nonliepudiation-. ists, and virtually takes the debt ques tion out of noliluc's.'; Tfte fcct to utilize the Columbia canal causes great re joicing .bete, and .will. it is believed;- raato &lgmT trie Eo-well of ' the- South.
