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 rax ; 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.

From Mr. Beechers Sunday Sermon. Riches if rightly used may contribute to happiness, but it is not true that riches in and of themselves can make a man happy. The richest men are not the happiest men on the globe, but some rich men are happy. A man can only be as happy as he can, and some men can only be a little happy under any circumstances. There are some men no bigger than a daisy. There is many and many a scoundrel and vulgar rascal inside of broadcloth, and riches don't make happiness any more than good clothes make a gentleman. I am barn pier than the richest men in New York. I don't count the richest men in New York the happiest men ; some of them are, I hope, but that all of them are not I know. As there are streets even in New York with a clean surface above the filthy sewer below, so there are men. Again, riches are apt to absorb the life and time to a degree that shall har ness men to mere external things so that they shall have very little leisure or disposition for self-culture. No man should embark in a business so large that he has no time for culture, for knowledge, or for social friendship. A man pays dear for riches who is so eager in the pursuit of them that he does not give himself time for God and for himself as the son of God. It is for this that we demand the Sabbath. For one day in the week men ought to cool off from the tops of their heads to the solesof their feet. Some part of every day should be a Sabbath, but one day in the week should be kept entirely for rest. And that is not all ; out of rest should come spirituality. I don't be lieve that a man who habitually disre spects the Sabbath can ever be as pros perous as the man that honestly and thoroughly reverences the Lord's Day. Again, riches are apt to lift men away from common humanity, and that is al ways a sign of aud a step towards dete rioration. The moment a man loses interest in his fellow-men, tfiat very moment the man is on the way to dete rioration and decay. A man that has become so rich that he don t want to associate any more with those with whom he has been intimate, is in a bad way. He thinks himself too cultured, but the proper way to spell that kind of culture is c-o-n-c-e-i-t Some men get too good to associate with their fellows. They are so eood. so confounded good (laughter) that they don't want to meet men that are not so good, if or mem nobody prays as they ought, nobody preaches as they ougtit; tney tnanK God that they are not as other men are, and all the other men thank God that is so too. rLauffhter.l There is a ten dency in riches to pamper a man's pride, tor with prosperity comes power ana a tendency to self-will ; of this the Scrip ture says: "Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit, there is more nope (they didn't pay compliments in those days) more hope of a fool than of him, What a hopeless set mere -are about Brooklyn.

GEXEBAIi AND PERSONAL, The oldest theatre in the United States is the -Bavannah Theatre. It was built in 1803, and., has been used ever since, without change or remodel ing. Mr. S. G. Gregory, of Albany, an nounces that he will have ready in sixty days a flying-machine with which he will make a trial-trip to London, England, going at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Mr.' JVC. Flood has just bestowed a pleasant little amount of pin-money up on his daughter, Miss Jennie Flood; he has registered $2,500,000 in United States bonds in her name. The gift provides for her an income of $100,000 a year. A Pennsylvania locomotive on Thurs day last made the run of sixty miles be twen Jersey City and Trenton in forty five minutes. Its hurried trip was for the purpose of taking the place of an engine that had been disabled by an accident at Trenton. After the ceremony had been per formed at-a Fall liiver wedding, a for mer husband of the bride presented him self;' 3le Jiad been away four years, and she had supposed herself a widow. He offered to leave her to the new hus band if she would give him her child, and she closed the bargain on that ba sis. Work on the North river tunnel, New York, is being pushed vigorously, and some progress is made towards the bed of the river. The engineer says he is prepared to expend $10,000,000 on the work, and while many opinions exist as to the policy adopted by him of working with compressed air, yet there is a general opinion that the enterprise will be a success. i. V. William and the New York Cotton Exchange. New York Herald. The taking of testimony at the Cot ton .Excnansre m tne twenty-one suits brought by members of the Exchange against Mr. Geo. W.Williams, to recover $290,000, losses in cotton speculations made by Williams, Birnie & Co., has been going on daily since the 1st of October and is still in progress. The testimony in six of the cases has been completed, and the seventh, that of French & Travers, will be ended this week. The suits are being conducted under the supervision of a committee of tne .Exchange, and tne expenses are borne by the plaintiffs according to their interests. The questions involved are of great importance to members of the Exchange and to cotton speculators, Mr. Williams's defence being that he is not liable because the transactions were entered into by his partner with out his knowledge, and were outside -of the ordinary business or tne nrm ; mat the contracts are void, as being gam bling contracts, and that the settle ments sought to oe eniorcea oy tne suits are settlements arising under the regulations and customs of the Cotton Exchange, of which Mr. Williams was not a member, and -with which he was not acquainted. Messrs. Lauterbach & Springarn appear for the Cotton Ex change and Messrs. Chamberlain, Car ter & Eaton for Mr. Williams. Legs and Tight Skirts. Nashville American. We hesitate to say it, but every careful observer and what man is not a care ful observer? knows that there is immi nent danger that the enforced knock kneedness of the present generation al most inevitably fastehs the knock-knee upon the next generation as an inherit ed defect or form. The consequences can easily be foreseen. A generation of knock-kneed people will, of course, aban don the compression of dresses on the knees, which has impressed that defect; but in the effort to cure the knock-knee means will be found to turn the knee outward and the opposite evil will te embraced. Pigeon-toed and splay-foot ed people will come into fashion and, as a result of the present fashion, in hity years, through intermarriage of knock kneed and pigeen-toed people, we shall be a nation of knock-kneed, bow-legged, splay-footed, pigeon-toed, bandy-shank ed people, a byeword ana a reproacn or the face of the earth. Rt. Hon. John' Bright's Plan. London, January 26. Rt. Hon. John Bright, in a speech at Birmingham Sat urday, suggested that Parliament should appoint a law mission, to go to Dublin, with power to sell farms of landlords to tenants who are willing to buy them, and to advance three-fourths of the pur chase money therefor, principal and in terest to be repaid in thirty-five years. Such a measure Mr. Bright said he be lieved would meet the wants and satis fy the desires of the Irish people. Mr. Bright's idea is that the commission should assist the tenants to purchase whenever the landlord was willing to sell. He recommended compulsory sale only where the land is owned by the London companies or guilds, as in the case with large tracts near. Londonder ry. He expressed the conviction, how ever, that, if his plan were adopted, self interest or public opinion would soon compel individual landlords to sell to their tenants. Hit Between the Eyes. Augusta Chronicle. The House of Representatives yester day dealt Mr. Rutherford B. Hayes the squarest blow between the eyes that a President of the United States ever re ceived from either branch of the na tional legislature. By a vote of one hundred and seventv-five to sixtv-two more than two-thirds the House sol emnly declared ''that in negotiating a commercial treaty to fix duties the President has been guilty of an infrac tion of the constitution and an inva sion of the highest prerogative of the House." The resolution was offered by a Republican, Judge Kelley, and must have been voted ior Dy members or both political parties. What is Mr. Hayes going to do about it ? As a dis interested adviser we snouia say, resign. Horsewhipped by a Woman Cincinnati. January 25. The town of Van Wort, Ohio, was grately excited Jesterday by the horsewhipping of Rev. .
