SYMPTOMS OF A T>IBKASFI> LITER.
Bad Breath; Pain in the Side, sometimes the
pain is felt under the Shoulder-blade, mistaken for
Rheumatism; general loss of appetite; Bowels
generally costive, sometimes alternating with lax;
tne head is troubled with pain, is dull and heary.
W«th considerable loss of memory, accompanied
with a painful sensation ofleayiqg undone something
which ought to have been done; a slight, dry cough
and flushed face is sometimes an attendant, often
mistaken for consumption; the patient complains
of weariness and debility; nervous, easily startled:
feet cold or burning, sometimes a prickly sensation
of the skin exists; spirits are low and despondent,
and, although satisfied that exercise would be bene
ficial, yet one can hardly summon up fortitude to
try it—in fact, distrusts every remedy. Severa*
of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred when but few of them existed, yet
txamination after death has shown the Liver to
ave been extensively deranged.
It should be used by all persons, old and
young, whenever any of the above
symptoms appear.
Persons Traveling: or Living in Un
healthy Localities, by taking a dose occasion
\ ally to keep the Liver in healthy action, will avoid
all Malaria, Bilious attacks, Dizziness, Nau
sea, Drowsiness, Depression of Spirits, etc. It
will invigorate like a glass of wine, but is uo in
toxicating beverage,'
If You have eaten anything hard of
digestion, or feel heavy after meals, or sleep
leas at night, take a dose and you will be relieved.
Time and Doctors* Bills will be savod
by always keeping: the Regulator

For, whatever the ailment may be, a thoroughly
safe purgative, alterative and tonic can
never be out of place. The remedy is harmless
and docs not interfere with business or
pleasure.

I»OI:TRV.
A NAILOK'K YARS.
This is tli<* tale that w is told to me,
Bv a battered anil shattered «>u of the sea
To me and my messmate, Silas Green,
When I was a guileless young marine.
'Twas the good ship Gyascutus,
All in the China seas.
With the wind i lee and the capstan free
To catch the evening breeze.
'Twas Captain Porgie on the deck,
To his mate in the mizzen hatch.
While the Iwatswaiu bold, in the forward hold,
Was winding his larboard watch.
"Oh, how does our good ship head to-night ?
llow heads our gallant craft ?"
"Oh, she heads to the E. S. W. by N.,
And the binnacle lies i.baft,"
"Oh, what does the quadrant indicate,
And how does the sextant stand ? '
"Oh, the sextant's dowu to the freezing point,
And the quadraut's lost a hand !"
"Oh, and if the quadrant has lost a hand,
And the ioitant fulls so low,
It's our bodies and bones to Davy Jones
This night are bound to go !"
"Oh, fly aloft to the garboard strake !
And reef the spanker boom;
Bend a studding sail on the martingale
To give her weather room.
"Oh, boatswain, down in the for'ard hold,
What water do vou find ?"
"Four foot and a half by the royal gaff
And rather more behind
"O, sailors, collar your marline spikes
And each belaying pin;
Come stir your stumps and spike the pumps
Or more will be comiug in !"
They stirred their .stumps, they spiked the
pumps,
They spliced the mizzen brace;
Aloft and alow they worked, but oh !
The water gained a apauU.
They bored a hole above the keel
To let the water out;
But. strange to say, to their dismay,
The water in did spout.
Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship,
And he was a lubl>er brave;
"I have several wives in various ports,
And my life I'd orter save."
Then up spoke the Captain of Marines,
Who dearly loved his grog:
"It's awful to die, and it's worse to be dry,
And I move we pipes to grog.''
Oh. then 'twas the noble second mate
[ What filled them all with awe ;
The second mate, as bad men hate,
And cruel skippers jaw.
He took the anchor on his back
And leaped to the main;
Through toain and spray he clove his way,
And sunk and rose again !
Through foam and spray, a league away
The anchor stout he bore;
Till, safe at last, he made it fast
And warped the ship ashore !
'Tain't much of a job to talk about,
But a ticklish thing to see.
suth'jn to do, ifl say it, too.
For the second mate was me !
Such was the tale that was told to me
By that modest and truthful son of the sea,
And I envy the life of a second mate
Though captains curse hira and sailors hate,
For he ain't like some of the swaps I've
seen.
As would go and lie to a poor marine.
Detrait free Frew.

THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION.
Tlie Sultan Asserts his Man
hood.
A dispatch from Constantinople
says Lord Pufferin, British ambassa
dor, again sent Mr. Sandison, secretary
of the legation, to ask the Sultan to
issue the proclamation denouncing
Arabi Pacha as a rebel. Mr. Saudi
son at the same time gave the Sultan
concilitory explanations, stating that
England did not aim at a protectorate
over Egypt. He also asked for par
ticulars concerning the composition of
the Turkish expedition to Egypt.
The Sultan gave no satisfactory ans
wer. It is stated, however, that he is
irritated at England's action, and that
he has sent verbal messages, through
Mr. Sandison, that he would do noth
ing for England, but would only
yield to the wishes of Europe.
Herr von Hirsehfeld, the German
vepreseutative at the confeieniie, was
instructed on Friday from Berlin to
recommend the Sultan to issue the
proclamation, declaring Arabi Pasha a
rebel, demanded by England. The
Russian Charge d'Affaires had been
ordered by his Government not to
any mote
ference until he has received detailed
instructions. Yesterday a special
steamer arrived at Constantinople
with the expected instructions:
The various Governments have
asked their representatives at Constan
tinople for explanations in regard to
tbe bbseuce of hi. unou, tho Kussian
delegate, from Thursday's sitting of
the conference, but the representatives
profess that they are unable to ex
plain the cause. They state that an
ht'iauKeuibiit ttrotild hayc hecn reap Led
on Thursday between the Porte and
j the conference but for the absence of
M. Onou. The adjourament of tbe
meeting is regarded as seriously en
dangering the sucpess of the confer
ence. Lord Dutferin, tbe Marquis do
Noailles and Count Corti had re
peiyed important instructions from
their respective Governments which
they were unable to communicate to
the conference.
TURKEY TO WAIT UNTIL ENGLAND IS
HEADY.
The deficiency of provisions and
water is urged by tho British Govern
ment against the landing of Turks
until after a forward movement of
the British, which will be preoeeded
by the occupation of Aboukir, Dami
etta and Port Said. Admiral Sey
mour and General Allison are equally
of opinion that the position of Arabi
is an easy one to turn, but not to at
tack in front without heavy losses.
The Jotirr.ai de« Debuts, of Paris,
says; "England, who, at her own
cost and risk, re-established order in
Egypt, will not do so gratuitously.
She will be right."
THE SUEZ CANAL.
The condition of affairs at Port
ia very pritipal The French
men-of-war nave been ordered to sta
tion themselves at Port Said and
cease traversing tbe Suez canal. The
Madrid Impartial, says: "Germany
has proposed that Spain co-operates in
tkfi protection of the Suez canal, and
we believe the Government will accept
this invitation."
THE TURKISH CONTINGENT.
A Constantinople dispatch says
Mouktar Pasha has made arrarge
meitts which will enable the Porte to
dispatch 20,900 men to Egypt in .suc
cessive detachments.
Dervish Pasha i.s designated as the
probable commander of the force iu
, Egypt. It ,'s expected that the de
' parture of the force will be delayed.
THE PORTE WANTS To KNOW.
The Porte has directed Lord Puf
ferin to explain what it describes as
the extraordinary severity of the
British at Alexandria.
THE REBEL GOVERNMENT DEFENDED.
An official telegram received in
Constantinople from the rebel gov
ernment sajs : The Khedive having
issued a decree dismissing Arabi
Pacha from the Ministry lor neglec -
ing to defend Alexandria, and having
published a proclamation declaring
that England is the friend of Egypt,
Arabi Pacha lias called on the couutrv
of which he is a submissive servant,
to pronounce its will in the matter.
At a great meeting, called for Satur
day, comprising Ulemas, Cadis, the
Coptic Patriarch, heads of the Arme
nian, Greek aud Maronitecommunities,
various high functionaries, ruudirs,
notables and leading merchants, in all
3(>4 persons, moving speeches were de
livered, especially by Ali Bey, under
Secretary to the Soudan, who recount
ed outrages of English sailors upon
Alexandria women.
The meeting, with only three dis
sensionists, decided to maintain
Arabi, so that he might defend the
country until the conclusion of satis
factory peace or the total extermina
tion of his forces. All decrees to the
I contrary were declared annulled, as
the Khedive was beyond the Mussul
man law. It was resolved that the
decisions of the meeting be submitted
to the Parte. Cousins of the Khedive,
who were present ai, the meeting, de
clared that Tewfik would be Khedive
if he sided with the countrv and the
army; but that, under the present
circumstances, he is either a puppet
or a prisoner of the British, and his
authority might be repudiated. Im
mense numbers of people paraded the
streets last evening, shouting: "Vic
tory to friends of Egypt against op
pressors."

A dispatch from Port Said says:
M. De Lesecps having heard Her
Majesty's troop ship Orion had stop
ped at Ismailia, and intended landing
iyen, started on Thursday for the place.
He is said to have declared that the
English should land only after pass
ing over his dead body and that of
his son Victor.
His course is condemned by all the
Europeans here. It is said that he
talks of enlisting the servipes of a
tribe of Bedouins, which, he says, is de
voted to him, for the purpose of op
posing by arms any European inter
vention in this part of Egypt.
Admiral Conrad has telegraphed to
the French Government complaining of
the behaviour of De Lesseps, and
stating that he is encouraging the
Datives and increasing the general
excitement, rendering the situation
more critical. Cherif Pasha ridiculed
the idea of ' Admiral Conrad being
guided by M. I>e Lesseps, anil remark
ed that this kind of thing encouraged

Jt is obvious that the stockjobbers
in London are much more active in
propagating rumors about the plans
and feelings of Arabi Bey than the
British oQicers in Egypt are in press

him. Meanwhile it is announced
that the cotton crop in Egypt will

of the wheat srop aiso, ana At. de
Lesseps loudly charges England
with designs upon the Suez canal.
When we consider that England
went into this business ostensibly
as an philanthropic power bent on
keeping the peace and protecting th«
interests of the Egyptian people, it
iui}st be admitted that she has uot
so far made a brilliaut success of it -
To lay Alexandria in ashes, upset the
irrigation of Egypt and drive her
French allies into something not un
like open hostility, are queer steps
towards restoring public order and
making the peopla oi Egypt nappy.

A Horse at tlie Pump.
Our Dumb Animals, of Boston, the

of Cruelty to Animals, is responsible
for the following slory; One day last
I month a lady whose home is at Ports
mouth, N. 11., was enjoying a ride
through a yillage near that city, when
her attention was drawn to a horso at
the roadside near a respectable looking
house, trying to pump water into a
trough to drink by seizing the handle
of the pump with his teeth. Owing
to lack of skill or some defect in the
pump the horse was unable to get the
water. The lady gave the reins to her
sister alighted, and drew a bountiful
supply to quench his thirst. The
horse evinced his sense of obligation
to his benefactor as intelligibly and
poiitely as a gentleman could evprpsj
his thanks for a like courtesy, and the
lady returned to her carriago and re
sumed her drive.

The Pennsylvania Gazette was
'printed by B Franklin, Por-tmaster,
at the New Printing-Office, near the
Market, 'and tbe issue uf the date
mentioned was' Numb. 9G2.' From an
original copy, now before the writer,
of May 21, 1747, it Is seen that the
first and second pages were devoted to
European news, with a few American
, items, and that the third and fourth
pages were set apart for the use of ad
: vertisers.
Tbe first item, dated 'Hague, March
7" tells of a 'melancholy Inundation'
whereby Utrecht and Leyden sulTen d
severely. Following is a bit of news
from Liege, around which Imperial
troops were marching ; just below is a
: Parma item about fifty pieces of cau
: non to be used in the siege of Genoa,
and further down the column appears
I the intelligence that Pratioe had spent
189 millions of lirres i:i the cruel war
I with England 'A n extract of a Letter
from a very authentick Person at Stock
holm, dated March 12' gives particu
lars to the effect that 'the Empress of
Russia will, before the End of .June,
have above 400,000 Men on Foot. 1
Then, as if Roman tyji,.i wore unequal
to the proper telling of actual battle
news, there comes in italics the follow
ing paragraph :
Genoa, March 4. Skirmishing has within a
day or two begun again. O.ie of the Austrian
detachments has lo surprise, in a
post near \ ollri, the independent company of
BarbarotFa, but that com pa ly defended it-elf
with so much bravery, that the enemy were
obliged to retire with the loss of several kii'ni
and wounded, their Commaudor being of tfcy
number of the latter.
From Loqdotl are uucounts of manv
disasters to shipping at the hauds of the
enemy and of pirates as well, and ou
the second page are found budgets
from Boston and New York. In ttje
Boston News is the following,
]>y a Letter frpm the (>oast of Gtrnca datid

Before quitting the news for the nd
vertisements poor Richard tells Lis
readers the names of the vessels that
had 'Entered Inwards' at the 'Custom
House,' and immediately below is a
list of the vessels that had 'Entered
Outwards.'
The many editors of this day who so
conduct their papers that the advertise
ment are more interesting than the
news ar.d miscellany may be gratified
to learn tl.at the pioneer of journalism
gave tbern an illustrious precedtnt is
the matter. Whatever the Philadel
phia reader of 1717 may have tl ought
of it, the Philadelphia reader of 1881
finds the advertisements in the Gazette
much more entertaining than the cor
respondence. A fair specimen of the
former is appended :

NUTMEGS AND RATTLE PICTURES.
Smith and James must have been
among the leading mercantile houses
then for they required a half-column to
tell of t -eight garlix, hol
lauds, cambricks, nutmegs, sets of flow
ers and butterflies,brass ink-pots, allom,
snuff-boxes, representations of the bat
tle of Culloden, frying pans and other
articles 'too numerous to mention,' that
were 'Just imported from London, in
the ship Bolton, Edward Dowers, com
mander., And to be sold lor Ready
Money, at their store on Israel IVm
berton's Wharff.' Thomas Cadwal
lader gives notice that 'all who have
any demands upon the estate of Martha
Cadwaljader arc disiired to bring in
their accounts to Samuel Morris, tau
ner, at the lower end of Second-street.'
In those days the reader learned of
robberies from the advertising columns,
as witness the following:

I off toward the o'.ber end of the car.
and stepped on another girl'* foot.
The other girl was not that kind of a
retiring child of nature, and she look
t>u up at the old blunderbuss with fire
in her eye and every red hair on her
head meaning business and said :
"Can't you keep off of people's

How I<o»k Ji.»n Way Live.
It was Professor Hufelaud's opinion
that the limit of possible haman life
might be set at two hundred years.
Tliis is on the general principle that the
life of a creature is eight times the
years of its period of growth. That
which is quickly formed quickly per
ishes, and the earlier complete develop
ment is reached'the sooner bodily decay
ensues. More women reach old age
than men, but more men attain re
markable longevity than women.
Passing up in the scale of the life of
man, skipping the patriarchs, we find
many recorded instances of the longev
ity among the classic Greeks and
Romans. Piiny notes that in the
reign of the Emperor Vespasian, in
the year 7t>, there were one buudred
and twenty-four men living in the
limited area between the Appenines
and the Po of one hundred and up
ward, three of whom were one hundred
and forty, and four oyer one hundred
and thirty-live. Cicero's wife lived to
the age of one hundred and three, and
the Roman actress Luceja played in
public as late as her one hundred anJ
twelfth vear.
Coming down to more recent times,
the most noted authentic instance of
great age is that of Henry Jenkins, of
Yorkshire, England, who died in IK7O
one hundred and sixty-nine years old.
He was a fisherman, and at the age of
one hundred easily swam across rapid
rivers. Another historic case is that
of Thomas Purr, of Shropshire, a day
laborer, who lived to the age of one
hundred and fifty two years. When
more than one hundred and twenty he
married his second wife, and till one
hundred and thirty he could swing
the scythe and wield the flail with the
best of his fellow-laborers. In his one
Jiuadred and fifty-second year Parr
went up to London to exibit himself to
the King. It proved an unlucky visit,
for violating the abstemious habit of a
century and a half, the old man feast
ed so freely on the royal victuals that
he soon died, merely of plethora. On
examination his internal organs proved
to be in excellent condition, and there
was no reason why he should not have
lived much longer, save for this un
fortunate taste of royal hospitality.
Professor llufeland's roll of centen
arians includes many more remarkable
eases, among them that of Mitlestedt,
a llucsian soldier, who served sixty
seven years under both Fredericks,
fighting many battles and enduring
much hard campaigning, and who,
after all this, married successively
three wives, the last when he was
one hundred aud ten, two years before
his death.
The Overseers oflhe Poor of Rye,
New York, subpasned John -Martin,
aged S3 years, before a judge, to show
i-ause why he shou'd n >t support a
drunken son, of thirty. The old man
told a feeling tale of his sacrifices for
the wayward boy, and said his income
was barely sufficient to support a blind
son and an invalid d ughter. The
judge dismissed the case with tha re
mark that he could not order a man of
fS - 2 to provide for a son, who, w re it
not for rum. could aud should bo earn
ing for his father. 'The towu,' con
tinued the judge,'has licensed the es
tablishments where this old man's son
buva his rum, so the town take
| care of the drunkard.'
