Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under th& 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 cqualed. BEWAHE 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.

And hiss and whisper ln the lonely pine; And thou who Uwed'fithe bloom, the warmth, the light Thou heedest not, nor darest for the night The, brighest flowers that grow ln summer lands, The softest breezes from the tropic seas, The glow of morning, and the noon's white calm, May bloom, and breathe, and . blush lit vain for thee; Nor love, nor hate, nor cry, nor prayer unbands The lcey seal upon thy lips and hands. And yet 'tis but a little while, oh! friend, Since we were schoolmates but a little while, Thou taking on the stature of the man Begun the man's work with the boy's bright smile, Assumed the heritage to spend. And lot at the beginning was the end. 'Tls but a little while I saw thy face, And touched thy hand, and heard thy kindly voice, And yet to day, thou would' st not grieve with me If I should grieve, nor smile if I rejoice; To day thou elalm'st not thy finger's space, Nor portion In this world, nor any place. To know thee gone, and thro the coming years To go oar ways without thee, and to see Within the narrowing circle of our lives How much of life we laid away with thee: To learn to hope through pain, to believe thro' fears. To learn to pray at last thro' loss and tears. We hope, we believe, we pray, dear Lord, who gave The perishing body, and the deathless bouI; We go ln deafness, tho' thy thunders roll; Nor strongest hand may reach ltseif to save. Nor clearest eye ma 7 see beyond the grave. So many might have gone nnmlssed the world Chafes like an o'ergrown river at its shores; We think thro' mist and doubt and lot the Lord "My ways are not your ways, nor my thoughts yours!" I claim mine now no sparrow's wing Is furled Unheeded of the eyes that guard the world. God is good! Age shall not dim thine eye, Nor mar nor bend thee from thy stately prime. God is good! Thy heart shall never know The cold and hard'nlng change of changing time; Nor I'fe's sure grief shall teach thy lips to sigh; : Nor life's sure evil thou hast pa&t them by. Farewell, true friend! Thou, fallen asleep with death, Will raise not haud, nor voice, to answer me; And yet I trust on some bright, fadeless day, With earth and tears forgot, to speak to thee, And thou wilt answer, speaking with new breath. And Time be Death's, and we have vanquished Death. O ItK Is It VAT IO . Some people's brains are like western lands enough of them, but not half cultivated.

Xbe Eads Company Applies for a Charter. Washington.' Jnn. 19 C'apt; Eads, who has received much encouragement in his plan fora shi-railway in Europe, has come to the front in Congress. Mr. Wells, of St. Louis, to-day introduced a bill, which was drawn up by Capt. Eads, to incorporate the Interoceanic Transit Company. The bill provides that Capt. Eads, and such others as may be associated with him, are creat ed a body corporate under the above name. It is provided that the tolls shall at all times be subject to revision and alteration by Congress. The com pany is authorized to require and se cure from other persons or governments controlling rights of way or territory by negotiation or treaty, in which the company is to have the co-operation and assistance of the United States. It is stipulated that the works shall be begun within two years and completed within seven years, and if so done no rights or privileges as are granted by this act shall be granted by the United States within fifty years from the pas sage or tnis act. rue President is directed to detail two ships of war,, to gether with a sufficient corps of engin eers from . the army and geodetic sur veys, to assist Capt. Eads in making J survys as ce may deem necessary-as preiuninaiT to tbe construction or th4 works. Two hundred thousand dollars are appropriated to defray the expenses of these surveys. The only locality named is in the lines of the bill where it says : ''For the purpose of construct ing such works across Jthe isthmus be tween North and 'South America as may be necessary to admit of the pas sage of ocean vessels, etc., etc. A CALIFORNIA ROMANCE. k - Hew Matt and Wife met After T wen 1 y If ear Separation. Vallejo Chronicle. December 30th. One' of thos strange episodes in hu man life whicljtaake us sometimes won der at "the eternal fitness of things" oc cured last night at the Vallejo junction. The tide being low on the arrival of the Contra Costa, passengers for Vallejo were compelled to make quite a descent from the wharf to the boat, and the ladies requredthe assistance of the gen tlemen present,,-, A Mr. a grain spec ulator, was doing the agreeable in this respect, and:bne of the last ladies to descend was overburdened with a few bundles, which he took charge of and accompanied the lady to the cabin, where they sat and engaged in conver sation. The subject finally touched up on thenativity of each, when it was found that they were both from the same town in Kentucky. This fact made each more communicative, when he inquired her nanVe, which was given as Mrs. G. Immediately the gentle man grew pale and excited, and asked : "You had a daughter, did you not?" "I did," she responded. "Pray how did you know thatV" "Is that daughter living?" "She is, and at present on a visit to friends in Vallejo, where I am now go ing." "Merciful heavens !" he gasped. "My child!" "Sir!" Said the lady, rising ; "what do you mean ?" "Mean ?" he crazily replied. "Mean ? Why I mean that daughter is my own child and that you are my wife!" Almost overpowered at this confes sion, she plied him with questions, to every one of which he returned a cor rect answer, when she was convinced that the man was really her husband, from whom she had been separated twenty years ago. It seems the twain were married in Paris, Ky., in 1858, and fifteen months afterward he went to Liv erpool on business. The vessel on which he took passage was wrecked, and all on board were supposed to have perished. The news coming to the young wife's ears, she was utterly pros trated, and was ordered to California by her physicians. Arriving . here, she took up her residence in Los Angelos. The husband was picked up from the wreck by a fishing smack and taken to some remote foreign port, where he wras thrown upon a bed of sickness, which lasted some fifteen months. In the meantime he had written repeated ly to his wife, but received no answer. In his dispair he concluded to risk a journey across the Atlantic. Feeble as he was he shipped before the mast on a sailing vessel, and in due time arrived in New York. From there he wrote three times to his wife, but received no answer. Almost frenzied at the thought that she might be. dead, and being without funds and no friends, he "faced" his fare clear to Kentucky, and shortly after arrived at Paris. In quiries throughout the town assured him that his wife had disappeared a year or so before, no one knew whither. Some said she had gone to search for her husband, others that she might be dead, and others that she had gone to California. He sought the old family physician, but he had left the town some time before. Mr. G. then went to work at Louisville and made enough to bring him to California a year after his arrival in Kentucky. He searche everywhere for his absent wife, but without success, and finally gave her up as dead ; and she also had mourned for his death. Neither, however, had married again, and last evening on board the Contra Costa was the first intimation eitheir had that the other was in existence.. The now happy couple arrived here last night, and to the surprise of the friends of the lady, she introduced her husband, from whom she had been sep arated twenty years. But imagine his unutterable surprise and joy when the mother led into the parlor a beautiful young lady his own daughter, whom he had not seen since she was a babe. Father, mother and child will leave to morrow for San Francisco, where Mr. G., who is "now a comparatively wealthy man, has his business, and where they will hereafter reside. GEXERIL AND PERSONAL NOTES. Be- How a Consolidation Came Near ingr Spoiled. When tlie authorities of the Louis ville and Nashville llailroad Company succeeded in purchasing a majority of the stock of the Nashville and Chatta nooga Railroad they imagined they had an easy-going thiug for their grand consolidation scheme, jaot knowing that under the charter of the latter road tile consent of two-thirds of the stockholders was necessary to ratif j anytiaesure. Col. Cole, president of. the latter road, who had not been con sulted in the consolidation, and who would be thrown out of office by it, did, however, know of this requirement, andimmediately telegraphed to a pool of New York brokers who had recent ly purchased 60,000 shares of the stock (par Yalue $25) at 90 to 92, to hold on to the stock at all hazards and every thing would be well, liut the New York brokers went back on Col. Cole, and Monday evening, sold the whole Wock, 60,000 shares, to the Louisville and Nashville Company at 80 per cent., giving the latter 25A)Q0 shares more than the requisite two-thirds. Poor Col. Cole continued to pour telegrams into the offices of the pool brokers all day advising them to stand firm. His last dispatch, received after 3 p. mM read: "Hold the fort. I have the key to the situation." Senator Lamar has been sitting up, md is doing finely. A steady improve ment in his condition is noted. Senator Conkling's wife is at Wash ington with her husband this winter, for the first time in several years, ill- 4iealth having usually kept her at Utica. Before the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway changed hands. President Cole had charge of $45,000, 000 of property, 3,500 miles of road and $1,500,000 worth of steamships.

He pitched into -the members of the congregation and gave them a sound drubbing, and then attacked the choir, declaring that he had not been able to have an hour's peace with them. One of the singers rose in his place at the opposite end of the Church and called on the minister to stop. The clergy man ordered him to sit down, and the chorister shouted back that he would turn on the organ and drown the pas tor's voice.
