C. McLANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right sie, 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 ; 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 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 death, has shown the liver to have been exten sively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy 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. BEWAAE OF IMITATIONS. The 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 wrappers. 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 JHcLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation. Raphael. MAURICE F. EG AN. Steeped In the glow and glory of old Rome So old, so young, In life and death and art His pictures shine so near to Truth's great heart That through the ages Truth has In her home The brightest stars in her celestial dome Kept them alive; and will, till time Is done, Fill them with stronger light than fire or sun. Great Prince of Painters! laurel wreathes his brow; The world may babble, she's an ancient dame! And say his life and art held much of clay, Reproaching him, yet saints feil on their way. If sin repented be a blot on fame, His fame Is fameless, though he reached fame's goal And left us glory shining from his soul. OBSERVATIONS.

There was a young man of Mendota, Who fondly exclaimed, "I'll devote a Few lines to my girl!" With his pencil In a whirl This kind of a letter he wrote to her: - "Oh, silver trimmed girl of Mendota, I am not very much of a wroter; But what I have writ. You're the subject of it" And she bounced the unlettered young voter. The following colloquy Is reported to have oc curred on upper Main street, on Christmas day: Small boy to Governor Garcelon "Did ye hear that a boy had fallen into a well fifty feet deep, doc tor?"

If I ever did asoire To thy hand. Maiy mii.s!" TI.AAVSON'S CLAWS. What the Editor of the Chester S. C. Bulletin Pulled out of Grant on the 'Train. Chester Bulletin, 6th. "General, you are aware, of course, that for some time past the papers in the United Sthtes have been discussing the probabiiity of a dissolution of the Union, should you become President again, and the erection in its stead of an Empire, with yourself as Emperor. I am presumptuous in asking you the question, but how does the idea strike you W He laughed, and, waiting until we had finished, replied: "Yes; I have noticed this absurd discussion. The idea is supremely ridiculous. To suppose that this country will ever change its form of government is preposterous, No one would oppose such a contingency with more vehemence than myself. This re minds me of the nepotism with which I was charged during my administra tion. Some appointees, who were said to have been related to me, were rank strangers. It generally obtained that Gen. Longstreet was my cousin, but he was no more kin to me than you are. "We were, previous to the var, very inti mate friends nothing more." Old war times were then brought up, when we took oocasion to ask his opin ion as to the best General in the Con federate service. He said unhesitating ly that Joe Johnston in his opinion was the most sagacious and best military man in the South. He said history al ways would give L.ee the honor because his chances were better than Johnston's. He said Lee was a good general, but could not handle an army like Johnston. He had an exalted opinion of Stonewall Jackson, but said he was too raslf as a leader. He thought if he had lived he would have been plunged into ruin on account of his rashness. Grant seemed to take pleasure in trac ing his family record, and said he was a son of Ohio, having moved to Illinois just beforejthe war. Aboutthe only face tious thing he was guilty oi on the route was when he looked up laughing and soid he was therefore a carpet-bagger. In taking leave of him, we asked if we should tell the people of South Car olina that he would be President of the United States in 1880. He laughed and said that was an event too far in the future. He finally said "You can tell them that I am not in politics." Additional Advice to a Young- Tlan. Burlington Hawkeye. You can probably be rich, my son, if you will be. If you make up your mind now that you will be a rich man, and stick to it, there is very little doubt that you will be very wealthy, tolerably mean, loved a little, hated a great deal, have a big funeral, be blessed by the relatives to whom you leave the most, reviled by those to whom you leave less, and villified by those to whom you leave nothing. But you must pay for it, my son. Wealth is an expensive thing. It costs all it is worth. If you want to be worth a million dollars, it will cost you just a million dollars to get it. Broken friendships, intellectu al starvation, loss of social enjoyment, deprivation of generous impulses, the smothering of manly aspirations, a lim ited wardrobe and a scanty table, a lonely home, because you fear a lovely wife and a beautiful home would be expensive, a hatred of the heathen, a dread of the contribution box, a haunt ing fear of the woman's aid society, a fretful dislike of poor people, because they won't keep their misery out of your sight, a little sham benevolence that is worse than none ; oh, you can be rich, young man, if you are willing to pay the price. Any man can get rich who doesn't think it is too expensive. True, you may be rich and be a man among men, noble and Christian and grand and true, serving God and blessing hu manity, but that will be in spite of your wealth and not as a result of it. It will be because you always were that kind of a man. But if you want to be rich merely to be rich, if that is the breadth and height of your ambition, you can be rich if you will pay the price. And when you are rich, son, call around at this office and pay for this advice. We'll let the interest compound from this date. Consequences of the New German Ta riff Lawk, London, January 6. A dispatch from Berlin to the Pall Mall Gazette says the new German protective tariff has already had a marked effect, espe cially on the price of breadstuffs.Wheat is now 33 per cent, higher than at the time when the tariff Dill was passed, rye is 55 per cent, higher, barley 25 per cent, and oats 40 per cent. The Ger man shipping trade has appreciably de clined in consequence of the tariff. HIS SWEET TOOTH. A Grinder Transferred from the mouth of a Young Iady to the Jaw of a ITIiddle-Aged aian hy a Chicago Dentist, i Chicago Times. At the last meeting of the Chicago Dental Society, the rare and successful operation of transplanting a tooth from the mouth of one person to that of an other, was reported by a prominent dentist of this city. A representative of the Times sought for particulars of the case at the office of the secretary of the society, and was referred to the doc tor himself, who had succeeded in do ing what nature herself could not supplying a man with a third tooth and had mixed two people up in a very effectual way, the result of which op eration is that a middle-aged gentle man is, in part, a girl of eighteen or twenty. The doctor was A. AV. Harlan. He consented to give the facts in the case, and commenced by stating that a gen tleman of about forty years of age came to him some time ago to have the split root of an old tooth removed. He was not willing to wear a plate to sup port a single tooth, and the doctor sug gested the transplanting of a molar from a living subject. The idea met with favor on the part of the gentle man when he was informed that suc cessful operations of the kind were on record. He was not particular whose teeth ate his meat provided he got the benefit of the nutrition. Five weeks afterward a young lady presented herself whose teeth were too many for her jaw. She could eat better than she could talk. Dr. Harlan sug gested a weeding, or teething, out. He extracted the tooth next in the rear of the eye-tooth, scientifically speaking, the first bi-cuspid. Ten minntes after ward he recollected that his patient, forty years of age, was still in need of a tooth. Notwithstanding the vacancy in the latter's jaw would be that of the second bi-cuspid, and on the opposite side of the mouth, the doctor resolved to try the experiment of transplanting. He placed the feminine tooth in glycer ine and sent for his patient. It was nearly five hours before he arrived. The glycerine had been kept at blood heat, and when the gentleman came the pul por nerve of the tooth was removed and the roots were filled with gold. The gentleman's tooth, or what remained of it, was then extracted, and the young lady's was immediately transferred to his jaw. It was firmly tied to the ad joining teeth and his jaws bandaged together for that night. By the third day the doctor was satisfied, from the lack of inflammation and the freedom from pain, that the operation would be successful. On the ninth day the liga tures were removed, and on the four teenth the tooth was quite firm. From that time on it continued to grow firm er in its attachment to the jaw until, at the end of six weeks, it was as useful for masticating as its neighbors. In color and size the matching was nearly perfect. The only difference between the transplanted tooth and the original one was in the shape of the roots; that of the latter was single, while the form er had a double root, but the socket could hardly have been better filled. It is proposed to introduce a bill in Congress providing for the planting of ferocious-looking fangs in the mouths of United States troops. These would produce such a fearful expression as would strike terror in the heart of the painted savage, and shorten the Indian wars. After the war they could be ex tracted and deposited in an arsenal, and be ready for use in a similar exigency in the future. A Family of Preachers. Raleigh Farmer & Mechanic llev. Dr. Drury Lacy, of Raleigh, may be said to belong to the Presbyterian priesthood. He is allied bv ties of "af finity and consanguinity' with many of the best known Presbyterian pastors of Virginia and North Carolina. His father, bearing the same title, married Annie Smith, of Powhatan, whose fa ther's house was known as a home for miniiters. One of Mrs. Lacy's sisters had two daughters married to ministers, viz., Mrs. Rev. J. H. Rice, and Mrs. Rev. Jas. Wharey, who became the mother of Rev. Dr. Thos. Warey and J. M. Whar ey, also Mrs. Rev. A. Currie, mother of Rev. J. L. Currie and Mrs. Rev. II. G. Hill. The youngest brother of Mrs. Lacy, was the father of Rev. Dr. B. M. Smith, of Union Theological Seminary, who had three daughters married to (clergy men. One of Mrs. Lacy's sisters married Rev. Dr. Moses Waddell, father of two ministers, and grandfather of a third of that name. These are only a few of the Doctors of Divinity in the elder generation. The Rev. Dr. Lacy, our venerable and venerated townsman, has a brother (Rev. Wra. S. Lacy, of Missouri, aged 90, who has two sons: Rev. Dr. B. T. Lacy and Rev. M. L. Lacy). His son, Rev. Wm. S. Lacy, is building up a fine church at Jonesboro, in Moore county. His oldest daughter married Rev. Dr. Hoge, and became the mother of the eminent Rev. Dr. Moses D. Hoge, of Richmond, and also Rev. Dr. WTm. J. Hoge. One of her daughters is the mo ther of Rev. Wm. H. Marquiss, of Mis souri, and Mrs. Rev. G. T. Lyle, of Vir ginia. Rev. Dr. Lacy's youngest daugh ter married Rev. J. H. Brooks, and is the mother of Rev. Dr. Brooks, of Mis souri. These facts are condensed from an article in the Central Presbyterian. By the by, Rev. Jas. L. Currie has been called to Chapel Hill church, two Sab baths a month, $500 salary. Meeting of Orange Presbytery re-called to install. The Presbyterians of Burgaw held a dime party on the night after Christ mas, and raised $49.05. They requested Rev. J. S. Black to serve their pulpit in future. The Chime Hace. Augusta Chronicle, 7th. The first thing on the programme was the Roman chime race and everybody, especially the ladies, was on the quivive to see it. Just before 2 o'clock the four fine horses which ran these races were brought out, fastened together at the head and the girths by slender straps. Around the body of each horse was a chime of bells. Upon one pair was Mr. B.F. Chaney, dressed in red and white, and upon the other Mr. G. M. Loftiss, in purple and white. Each stood erect with one foot on each horse of the pair. The start was made at the judge's stand and the racers dashed around the half mile at full speed, the riders keeping their upright positions well and grace fully and whipping their horses to greater exertions. The pair ridden by Mr. Chaney came in first, about a length ahead and won the race. It was a novel spectacle in this section and was highly enjoyed by all who witnessed it. There will "be another chime race this after noon. This morning between 9 and 10 o'clock the horses will be led through rthe streets. (DDnpflsthnrnffi (BnB(tSnn THE HOLIDAYS ARE NEAR AT HAND ! And both the young and old are looking forward in bright expectancy, and .with joyful hopes that some kind remem brance may be left as a token of friendship from some relative or friend. We trust that none will be disappointed, and that old Santa Claus will distribute his favors not only with a liberal hand, but will not show any partiality In his dis bursements. We are glad to see this time-honored custom increasing in favor with the people. We hope it will continue to grow, and this joy-giving time will be looked upon as one of the happiest and brightest days in the year. Let us all extend a willing hand and assist those who desire to carry out their part, but who, owing to numerous obligations and limited incomes, are deprived from contributing what they would be most willing to do if circumstances did not pre vent. Let not selfishness but liberality predominate. Be willing to divide a part of your own good fortune with those who are not so fortunate, and note the change your kindness produces. The gladness that speaks from the heart will be sufficient evidence of the joy within. There is not one of us who cannot contribute something. The gift may be hum ble ; that matters not ; it will be acceptable. We trust that not only our old friends but also our young friends will, while their heart3 are joyous and glad, not forget to add their mite to the happiness and pleasure of those who have not been so fortunate.
