THE CENUINE
DR. C. McLANE’S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HBADACHI.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DA IN in the right side, under, the
I 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
stomach is affected with loss of appe
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful sen
sation of having left undone some
thing 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 complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise 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 ex
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the liver to
have been extensively 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 unequaled.
BEWABE OF IMITATION*.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the ltd,
with the impression Dr. McLanks Livka
?i The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills bear
the signatures of C. McLane and Flemik*
Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine
McLawk’* Liver Pru.s, prepared by T teas
ing Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market bemg
full of imitations of the name McLMne,
spelled differently but same pronunciation.

Railroad SigT7 ads.
Notwithstanding the fact that so
many people travel about in the cars,
few are acquainted with the whistles
and signals which regulate the move
ments of tjje trains. It sometimes hap
pens it is very important to know them.
The following is the signification of
those most commonly used :
One whistle—‘'Down brakes.” Two
whistles—“ Off brakes ” Three whis
tles-—“ Back up.” Continuous whis
tling—“ Danger.” A rapid succession
of short whistles is the cattle alarm, at
which the brakes will always be put
down.
A lantern raised and , lowered verti
cally is a signal for “starting’ ;swung
at a right angle or crosowise the track, to
“stop” ;swung in a circle, to “back the
train.”
A red flag waved over the track must
be regarded as a signal of danger. So
of other signals given with energy. A
red flag or red light hoisted at a station,
is a signal for train to “stop.” Stuck
up by the roadside, is a signal of dan
ger on the track ahead. Carried upon
an engine, it means a train is on the
track.
David R. Reeves, a wandering sing
ing master, formed a 'class in Pettis
County, Mo., and fell in love with
Amelia Yost, one rf his pupils. She
spurned him, but he persisted in his
wooing, even threatening to kill her if
she did .lot accept his addresses. Still
she was cold. A letter in his hand
writing asked her to meet him at a cer
tain stile one evening. Her father and
three brothers believed that he intend
ed to lure her to the lonely spot and
murder her, so they armed themselves
wi ll guns and hid near the stile. Pres
ently a man appeared, looked around as
though expecting somebody, and then
stood leaning against a fence. One of
the Yost boys fired on him, killing him
instantly. He was not Reeves, howev
er, but a neighbor and close friend of
the Yosts, wearing Reeves’s hat and
coat. Why he went there in that man
ner and dress is not “explained. The
Yost who did the shootinz is now on
trial, but no solution of the mystery
has been reached. The singing master
has not since been seen ‘*''*' 4 ** t neivh

A countryman drove into Xcnta, Ohio,
the other day with some friends to meet
a train. Arriving at the depot, a
freight train was standing on the side
track, and the countryman, not seeing
any convenient place to tie up, deiiber
a'ely hitched his horse to the rear ciy
of the freight, and proceeded’ to prom
enade the walks around the depot while
waiting for his train. What was his
surprise when he saw his hitching post
pull out for Cincinnati, with his horse
and wagon bringing up the rear in not
the best of order. It would not be
proper to record the remarks' of the
young man on the subject.
A moilier thus writes:. “Once a
week invariably—and it was generally
when we had cold minced—l gave the
children a dinner which whs hailed with
delight and looked forwatd to—this
was a dish of boiled onions. The lit
tle ones knew not that they were tak
ing the ljest>of medicine for ’ expelling
what uiMsi children suffer from—worms.
Mine were kept free by this remedy
alone. It was' a medicine man who
taught me to eat boiled onions as a
specific for a cold in the chest. He did
not know at the time till I told him
that the." w re good for anything else.’
Commenting on the lawlessness in
Breathitt county, Kentucky, the Louis
ville Courier Journal says : “One of the
charges against Breathitt is that the
tail of a parson’s horse is never safe
there. While tbe good man is ex
pounding the Gospel, his horse’s tail is
shaved. The parson whose horse is not
thus treated must needs hitch the faith
ful brute near--the window, that the
clerical eye may see what is going on
outside as well as within the church.—
This charge may lack truth, but it
would be well if nothing worse had ev
er carried the name of Breathitt to the
furthermost parts of tbe State.”
A widow who used to go forth every
day with a watering pot and spriukle
her husband’s grave, upon being high
ly complimented for her devotion re
plied, “I told Jimmy before he died
that I wouldn’t marry again till the
grass grew on his grave, and as grass
is rather backward this season I thought
I'd hurry it a little.”
Says the Captain to Pat—
"■ “Come, I’ll have none o’ that!”
As’Paddy of whiskey was drinking
" hi fill;
With a satisfied sigh,
As he finished the “rye,”
Says Paddy—“Be jabers, I don’t think
ye will.”
TIIE MARYLAND GIRL
SHOOTING CASE
Arrest of Miss Duer—A Strange
Case.
The Coroner’s jury in the case of M iss
Ella Hearu,of Pocoiuoke City, Md.,
who was shot with a pistol in the hands
of Miss Lilian S. Duer, of the same
place, rendered their verdict on Tues
day night Miss Hearn died last Fri
day afternoon, and Saturday Acting
Coroner Jas. L. Nock summoned the
Coroner's inquest. They adjourned
over until Tuesday, when at 8 o’clock
p. m. they returned a verdict that the
deceased came to her death on the 6th
of December, from nervous prostration,
exci ed by a ball lodged in her left up
per jaw bone, shot from a pistol in the
hands of Miss Lilian A. Duer, on the
sth of December, at the residence of
her father, James L. Hearn, in Poco
moke City, Worcester county, Md. On
Monday evening last Miss Duer was ar
rested, and awaiting her examination
gave three thousand fiveliunired dol
lars bail for her appearance at court.
The Baltimore Bulletin gives the fol
lowing particulars of the case: Mr.
James L. Hearn, father of the deceas
ed, states that his daughter, after the
shooting, told him that on the occasion
of the shooting she went to the door
with her visitor, where Miss Duer
charged her with loving Miss Ella Fos
ter better than she did her (Miss Duer)
Miss Duer attempted tokissMiss Hearn,
and in doing so fell, and then jumped
to her feet in an excited ’manner and
fired.- - Ella in this conversation told
her father she did not expect to recover,
and therefore wished the circumstances
to be known. Mr."Hearn states of his
own knowledge that his daughter tried
in vain to repress Miss Duer’s visits,
who”frequentlyT)egged Miss Ilearn to
walk in the woods or remain in the par
lor of his house, or some other room
alone with her. Mr. Hearn also says
that his daughter told him that once
in the woods Miss'Duer fired a pistol,
which she said was to frighten her com
panion, and induce her to return to hen
as she was running on before. Mis 7
Duer, however, denies this. Just be
fore the shooting In? says pli:-— |i > r ,er
Lau tried to induce his dauglitc* alk
with her in the woods. Miss Learn
was nearly eighteen years of age, edu
cated at Laurel, Del., where her father
was born. She was rather’stout, hav
ing large brown eyes and black hair.
Miss Duer is of slender, graceful fig
ure, large, brilliant, black eyes and
dark brown hair, and is represented to
be very beautiful. She is about 17
years of age, and fond of hooks, espe
cially of Byron, and it is said she has
been studying medicine for about six
months. She declared that the shoot
ing was purely accidental, and says:
“1 called to see Ella for the purpose
of taking a walk. She did not wish to
go. I begged her. She refused. I
tried to kiss her. I had the pistol in
my hand after giving up the attempt 1 1
kiss her, and was looking at the car
tridges, counting them, when the pis
tol accidentally went off. lam not a
murderess. I visited her. twice during
her illness. The first tint" she heard
my voice and called me; I went into
the room aad she received me by put
ting her arms around my neck. She
then said,'‘Lil, what’s the matter with
me V i told her that she was hurt.
‘Who hurt me V’ She asked. ‘I, El
la,’ I replied, it was I who did it. Then
you did not do it purposely, did you V
The next time I called she was deliri
ous.” Mi%s Duer then denied the state
ment that she (Miss Dner) had left Po
comoke City for Baltimore in male at
tire.
Only one of the big trees of Califor
nia has been fe led by the hand of man
To accomplish this it required the work
of five men for twenty two days, not
chopping, but with long augurs, boring
it down. After the tree was complete
ly severed, the veteran stood still un
moved and refused to fall, until by ropes,
pulleys and wedges, the enormous trunk
was brought to the earth. This tree
was found to be over 800 feet long,
ninety-six foet in oircumference at the

Talked to Death About Temper

signing the pledge, turned and beg m :

to say, then say it.” “Certainly,” the
speaker replied, and turning to the au

The Negro Legislators.
There are two meu of color in the
present Legislature of Georgia. One
of them, Thomas Butler, of Camden
county, is a Baptist preacher. His
seat was contested by a respectable
white Democrat, and cn ve -y plausa
ble grounds ; yet the House, composed
of one hundred and seventy Democrats
and five Republicans, gave it to Butler
by a large vote. He isof slave parentage,
but is intelligent and worthy, deports
himself with great decorum, and is
highly respected.
The other colored member is Amos
R. Rogers, of Mclntosh county. lie
has had some advantages of education,
and is fairly intelligent. We can say
of both the colored members, that they
quietly attend to their own business,
and carefully let other peoples’ alone ;
and this, we think, is high praise.—

To Keep Eggs.
Make a solution of borax water, a
heaping teaspoonful of pulverized bo
rax to a pint of boiling water; let it
stand until the solution becomes warm
hut not allow it to get so cool that the
borax will chrystalize, dip the eggs
quickly then ; keep in a cool place ; the
borax will chrystalize around the egg,
therefore keep out the air and preserve
the egg.
