The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are
a bitter or bad taste in the mouth ; Pain in
the Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for
RhQumatism ; Sour Stomach; LossofApep-

Headache ; Loss of memory, with a painful
sensation of having failed to do 'something

Low Spirits, a thick yellow appearance of the

Sometimes many ot ttiesc symptoms attend

He opened the gate, walked up to

moment it was opened and he etep-i

said to the astonished girl, lI much

is so unpleasant to have the door
closed in one's face when only half

lie walked into the parlor, and
the frightened girl went to inform
her mistress that a sewing machine
man or a bookpeddler had gained
access to the house. The lady en--ttrt'd
the room and was greeted by
the vounfr man of cheek as follows :
'They call mo a blessing the
ladies do, and I am, madame. I
am a labor-saving benefactor to the
whole sex. I have a little inven
tion which I am introducing a
perfect little gem. It is, madame,
a small, silver-plated, gilt-point
concern, which will allow you to

it U

and took out a half metal and
wooden concern and said: 'Only

with his coat taii), aad when you
desire to tit down pull the rights

tion by pulling this string, put
your foot on the spring, and you'll

The lady calied her husband to
i i- j it
see too new inveniion, anu iue
nt explained its workings to him.
As the husband's eye fell upon the
a wicked thought flashed
through his brain, and he deter
mined to be revenged.
'This is a new invention,' began
the aent, 'to enable ladies to draw
back their skirts much tighter than
at Dresent and, at the same time,
allow them to sit down. It is called
the high-fangled, drawback and
squeeze together, new modus oper
andi. Ladies say I am a labors
saving benefactor that 1 am an

'Wait !' shouted the husband;
please explain it3 workings again.'
The agent did so.
'Why, that would make a good
hay hoister.'
'les, answered the agent, 'Out it
is more particularly aesigneu ior
ladies.'
The husband sent for his daugh
ter to examine the invention.
This is a new, unparalleled, up

for one dollar. Ladies call me a
'J7o.'d on !' shouted the husband
and father, 'un'iil 1 call my other
daughter,' and he waltzed out ot
the room and returned with the
hired girl and the chambersmaid.
'You see, ladies,' began the agent,
'this is a flopiover and standsyou
up magical tragical, two strings to
the right and one to the center, in
volition, for pulling back your dress;
and he went on for half an hour,
during which time the husband
slipped over to the next house and
induced the neighbors to come over
and hear the agent talk. He re
turned with six women and four
children, just at the winding up
for the fourth time. Escorting one
person into the room at a time, he
had the agent to tell each one about
the 'invention.' lie stationed
small boy out in the hall with
lead pencil, who was instructed to
make a mark on the wall every
time the agent repeated hi3 story,
rill 11 1
The stock he had brought in was
exhausted about noon, when he
sent a messenger around tne ward
to send in the neighbors, and the
agent was kept telling the story
without intermission till near mid
night.
As the sun disappeared behind
the western horrizon, the agent be
can to show signs of fatigue, but
the husband was as fresh as ever
Eleven minutes to twelve o'clock
the agent, who had just completed
his yarn fer the two hundred and
sixteenth time, looked up and gasp
ed. A glasB of water was throw in
his face, and the husband told the
boy to run in half a dozen more
persons, for ho thought he could
finish the agent now in about an
hour and a half. The boy left to
rouse up the neighborhood, to find
half a dozen who had not yet heard
the story of the 'invention.' When
he was absent frequent stimulants
had to be gi ven the agent to pre
venti'him from fainting. Shortly
the boy returned,- saying "that" no
more neighbors could be found, as
they had all gone on an excursion.
The husband on hearing this was
in despair, but he had the agent to
repeat the story a couplo of times
to the boy and once to himself.
When he had finished he was so
far exhausted as to be unable to eit
up.
A fiendish smile stole across the
features of the husband as he said :
'Young man, I have hoped for
this moment. I have been haunted
almost to death by agents. The
last agent that came along swindled
me out of two dollars, and then I
took a terrible oath that I would bo
revenged upon the next man that
attempted to seduce me. Know,
then, that I have indeced these
people who have listened to your
eloquence, to come in, that I might
turn your own wear, on against you.
You have talked yourself to death.
Thank Heaven ! I have succeeded
in my revenge. You can live but
a lew moments longer, but before
you die I pray you to repeat again
that well-known story.'
The agent backed himself up
against the side of the room, a glass
of water was given him, and he be

MUSEUM.
This on the corner of 2d avenue
and 11th street, and more is to be
learned in a day within those walls
than bv a voyage to Cairo. Even
in the basement the great Blabs
from Nineveh with the curious car
vings thereon, will open a new field
of thought and study. And as the
mummy men, women, bulls and cats
with thousands of other relics of
ancient Egypt, are spread before
the eye, and the treasures of sculp
ture, painting and history are view
ed, the visitor will find that this
commercial city is not wholly given
up to trade, but has made great
provision for the mental improve
ment and pleasure of its people.
THE BIBLE HOUSE AND COOPER UN
ION.
These two building3 are near to
gether, and should be visited for
the purpose of seeing what Chris
tian benevolence, and enlightened
philanthropy are doing for the ben
eht of the human race.
THE ASTOR AND THE MERCANTILE
LIBRARIES
Are in the same vicinity, all four
will
richly reward their guests.
SHOPS AND STORES.
One who has , visited the most
extensive stores for the sale of
goods, in London and Paris, will
not hesitate to say such establish
ments in New York are unsurpas
sed in the civilized world. It is a
wonder of art to walk through the
great dry goods establishments of
this city, the book .Stores on Broad
way and Franklin Square, and the
printing offices, orthe famous jew
elry bazaars. H bw f ewof our c wk
citizens have ever studied the rare
collections of Marley, now Sypher
& Co., on Broadway, of antique
furniture of the most curious acd
elegant patterns, Italian carved
wood bedsteads, 200 years old,
China cabinets, articles in ormulu
and marquetrio ; and Sevres por
celain, Japanese ware, statuary, a
large museum of ancient and mod.
era curiosities, which old buyers
most affect, and which will be a
long lesson ia art to any one who
will spend a pleasant day in its
btudy. Marlej, its founder, began
business in Ann Street about 40
years ago, and a kindly notice of
his curiosities by Willis, the poet,
made him suddenly famous ; he
grew to be so fond of his collec
tions that he rather liked to keep
them than to sell, and when he died
he left behind him the largest and
strangest museum of vertu in Amer
ica. It has been greatly increased
and is daily growing.
METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART.
Gen. Cesnola it is eaid, has made"

to America. Ilia collection bought
by this Museum is the rarest curi
osity of early sculpture in this
world, for in the ground of Cyprus
he found buried the trophies of
successive civilizations. It is like

ALL FREK.
Under certain proper regulations
which sale keeping requires, all
galleries and halls and libraries and
museums, are free to the public.

At some of the doors a fee may be
required at certain times, but with
great liberality they are accessible
at all reasonable hours.
This reminds us to speak of the
passions of some visitors to steal!
ooks in public libraries, articles
of value in museum3, have to be
watched carefully, lest some ad
miring guest is tempted to pocket
the gem.
We have not mentioned the stu
dios of artists, nor the beautiful
churches, nor the private libraries
and private galleries, all of which
may be reached with the aid of
suitable introductions. But we
have said enough to show that a
winter in iVew York may be made
tho most improving part of liberal
education.
The Jews-
borne curious,
and
in some res
pects surprising, particulars have
ately been collected and published
in a rrencn paper respecting ine
Jews. Although the Israelites
hold such an important placo in
trade, commerce, and finance, and
are to be met with in every quarter
of the world, it appears that they
are to be found in least numbers in
some of the most commercial coun
tries, and in most numbers in some
of the least prosperous and enter
prising States. Moreover, widely
as they are scattered, and numer
ous as they appear to be, it seema
from statistics in question that the
census of the whole race falls short
of five millions of souls.
In France, where there exists
little or none of thebaiborous pred
iudice against the Jews which pres
vails in some countries, and where
one would think their was a wide
field for the peculiar talents of the
race, there are only fortyssix thous
and Jews. In all America, appars
rently a still more favorable coun
try, there are only one hundred
and twenty thousand Israelites. On
the o?hcr haud, in wretched, un-
prosperous, and downtrodden Po
land the Jews are to be found in
greatest number, one out of every
seven ot the inhaDitants Demg
Hebrew. One car understand that
there should be few Jew3 in
Spain, but it i3 surprising that
they should be almost as rare in
Belgium. In Sweden there are
comparatively few Jews ; but they
abound in yiamburg. Austria, and
Roumania, in the proportion of one
to every twenty-four inhabitants
In Hamburg and Austria there is
within a' stone's throw, and
abundant employment for their tal
ents, but in Itournania there cannot
be any great scope for their finan
cial instincts. Ireland is always
boasted of as being the only coun
try in the world in which tbe Jews
were never persecuted and indeed,
whether at home or abroad, the
Irish always manifest a certain res
pect for the Israelites but Ireland
has hardly had the oppcrtunity of
persecuting the race, for eveu at
the present day there are not three
hundred Jews in the whole country.
An interesting addition to tho
statistics (if it were possible to se
cure it) would be tho" amount of
wealth in the hands of the less than
five millions of Jews that abide up
on, if they do not inherit the earth.
Considering the enormous wealth
possessed by only a few wellknown
individuals of the race, such a re
turn would doubtless show a high
average per head.
An Austrian Jusitce-Koom.
BY MR. WILLIAM IIOWITT.
The different modes of adminis
tering j'ustice in different countries
is a curious study. In England
the decisions of a magistrate, both
honorary and stipendiary, are often
far from satisfactory. The London
stipendiary magistrate, notwithn
standing that we have six hundred
legislators sitting in St. Stephens
half the year to make laws, is fres
quently unable to find a law appli
cable t the case in hand. In
other cases he ia far too much tied
up by red tape and precedents to
allow him to decide according to the
dictates of common sense. In Gers
many the magistrate is left much
more to his own free judgment, and
can himself decide, as our judges in
equity do; and in my various ex
periences 1 have been much struck
by the promp' and c orrect decisions
given. In all cases in which I have
had to apply to a German magis
trate during tho last forty years, I
have received the most satisfactory
and speed justice, and what is more,
as cheap as speedy. Once, when
on travel, a dishonest fellow, whom
I had engaged to put on an extra
horae up a long- hill, insisted on
drawing me down the hill again on
the other .side with his extra iiorse,
and became very violent, and even
menacing, on arriving at a solitary
place. In the next village I sent
for the burgomaster and stated tho
case. The burgomaoter was tho
iHage blacksmith, arid came to tho
inn with hi3 leather apron on, and
with his shirt sleeves turned up.
On hearing my statesmen and then
the man's, he said to the fellow.
Where did vou put your horse in
coming down here before the car
riage or behind it?' 'Before.' eaid
the fellow. 'Then he off with you
as a rascal,' sid tho burgomaster;
noboiy wants an extra horse to
pull him down a hill, ad you
ut Lim behind, as a drag, I would
have given ycu your money, i
doubt whether an English Lord
Chancellor would have given so
clearly just a decision so prompt
a one certainly not. And then as
to expense ! My judicial Vulcan
refused any fee for his really val
uable service; and on my begging
that, at least, he would go in and
have a bottle of win?, replied, 'No;
-I will have a choppin of beer, but
I will pay for it myself. AVhenI
expressed my regret that I could
give him no proof of my sense of
the obligation he had conferred
upon me, he said, 'Well, if ever
you see a countryman of mine need
ng help in England, give it him.
I have never forgotten tho village
Ilhadamanthus, and on Rhadaman
thus, and on various occasions have
repaid his services to his countrys
men. I wish I could say as much
of the administration of justice in
Italy.
