WHAT MIGHT HATE BEEN. France and the Southern Confederacy. I will relate a conversation I had at my house, Laburnum, Dear Richmond, with Count Mercior, the French Minis? ter, in the month of May or early part of June, 1862. He, it will be recollected, visited Richmond by permission of the Northern Government, but was interdict? ed from holding direct intercourse with President Davis or any of his Cabinet, and he spent nearly two days of bis time at my house in Honrico. In point of fact, as the sequel will disclose, he was sent here-(by Mr. Seward) with a view to make peace. In the course of a day's discussion in my library, he asked me a great many questions; among others, the question: "Can yon whip McClellan ?" who was then lying with an army of 200,0 30 men within six miles of Richmond, confront? ed by Gen. Lee. I told him in reply that I felt sure we could and would, and if tbe Emperor of the French would open the ports and keep them open, we would march to New York, and not ask tbe loan of a man or a dollar. With great animation he sprang to his feet, and said in French: "If such be the temper of your people you are invincible. But why do yon think you: will whip .McClellan?" I answered, "Because tbe President and Gen. Lee tell me they believe we wiu r* Then he added, "But do you know how many men arc bearing upon Rich? mond?" I replied, "The Presideut thinks there are 200,000. Gen. Lee thinks not so many, but more than 150,000. To which be replied, "They are both mistaken. There are 225,000. Gen. BurnsMe's force at Port Royal is a part of the force bearing upon Richmond? sent to Port Royal merely in the hope of inducing Gen. Lee to detach a part of his army to meet it. I am"just from the war office and have all the statistics here," (holding up a paper which be drew from his pocket;) "but," he added, "can't this war be stopped ? Can't you come back uuder the old flag?" I said: "I suppose that is impossible, for Mr. Seward would not permit us to do so without the abolition of slavery, * and it would be useless to propose that to the men from the extreme South." To that he replied: "You are mis? taken. If yoc will only return and ac? knowledge the flag, Mr. Seward will per? mit you to return without any condi? tions." "What!" said I, "with tbe institution of slavery?" "Yes,,T he said. I then said: "But there is yet one thing more to be considered. To use the phrase which was so much hackneyed with respect to the northeastern bounda? ry question of 'indemnity for the past and security for the future,' we can't ask, I know, indemnity for tbe past, but we most have security for the future. We cannot live hereafter in the state of har? assment and excitement in which we have lived for some years past" Then, drawing his hand across a piece of paper lying upon tbe library table, upon tbe opposite sides of which we were sitting, he said: "Mr. Seward will allow you to write your own guarantees." I expressed my individual readiness to consent to these terms. I had been in favor of the Southern Convention which South Carolina proposed through Mr. . Memminger, her commissioner, believing as I did, in which I am now confirmed, that if all the Southern States met in convention, as proposed by South Caro? lina, such guarantees would be asked of the Northern people as they would grant, and which would protect us, aud in that event there would be no secession, and I certainly did not wish secession if we could be protected in .ho enjoyment of our constitutional rights, and that I be? lieve was the general sentiment of the South. I believe I have given you now almost, if not exactly, verbatim, these conversations to which I referred io my conversation with you. I will add that the day following the conversation with the French minister, a large company of gentlemen dined with him at my house, and he left there after 10 o'clock at night in a rain, in order, as ho said, to uend a dispatch to Norfolk to fire up a steamer which could take him or his dispatches, I forget which, to New York before the next Atlantic steamer sailed. Tbe battle of Coal Harbor acid the other battles around Richmond occurred not long alterward, and I had no doubt of our acknowledgment by the French Government, and was very much sur? prised that it did not come. Some time afterward the French con sal, M?ns. Paul, drove up to my house on Sunday afternoon, and very soon en? tered into conversation about the ac? knowledgment of tbe Confederate Gov? ernment by the Emperor of the French, and asked me if we could not pass some bill for the gradual abolition of slavery in fifty or sixty years. May be it might do even if it was longer, and said that if it were done the Emperor, would imme? diately acknowledge us, but that the French people would not be satisfied without such a provision for the aboli? tion of slavery. They did not care how distant it was, so the fact was secured as the price of recognition, and the Empe? ror would be fully justified. I expressed my individual willingness to accede to those terms, and promised to see the President upon the subject next morning when I went into Congress, and if he agreed with me I would immedi? ately introduce a bill for the purpose. "But," said I, "Monsieur Paul, what guarantee can you give us that if we take so important a step the Emperor will ac? knowledge us?" He replied, "Mr. Lyons; nobody can guarantee tbe Emperor; but yon- may be sure that tbe Emperor will do what I tell yon he will do," which I considered as bat another mode of saying that he had been authorized to do what ho bad done. It is due to Mr. Davis to say that I saw him next morning, at his own bouse, before Congress met, an soon as I went into town, and told him what had passed between tbe French consul and myself. His answer was: "I should concur with you in accepting these terms, but for the constitutional difficulty. Yon know that Congress has no jurisdiction over the subject of slavery." "True," I said, "but that difficulty may be gotten over, in my opinion, without any violation of the Constitution. Let the bill providing for the gradual abolition of slavery also pro? vide that it shall not tale effect until the States have, by acts of their respective Legislatures, duly passed, approved and ratified it, which, you know, will be just as good as if passed beforehand, author? izing Congress to do the thing. I will not be guilty of the presumption of offer? ing such a bill upon my simple respon? sibility, bat if I may say that you concur with me I will introduce the bill to-mor? row." He then asked me why the French Government could not deal with the Sta'es in the matter, so as to avoid all constitutional questions. I told him I had pat that very question to the French Consul, and his answer was, "France does not know tbe States, but she knows the Confederate Government and President Davis." Mr. Davis then said: "Well, I must consult the Cabinet, and if they agree with you I will send for yon." And there tbe matter ended.?From a Letter by the Hon. Jama Lyons of Richmond io Col. Maoruder of Baltimore. "My Mother-in-law is a walking ad? vertisement for Dr. Bull's baby Syrup," a subscriber remarked yesterday; ''she recommends it everywhere." Col. Ingersoll at His Brother's Funeral. Bob Ingersoll, says the Charlotte Ob? server, is undoubtedly a very bad lot, and those who follow his system of theology will go the way of Wards ducks, or in other words the way in which Johnston County went on election day in 1876; but for all that he is called "the eloquent infidel," and there is more poetry and music in him than in one out of a thou? sand men, even of those who are going to heaven. His funeral discourse over nis brother, whose system of theology was like his own, is highly suggestive of Dickens' chronicle of the death of Little Nell. Indeed there is hardly a line of it that would not have done credit even to Dickens. The following is the funeral oration: Dear Friends : I am going to do that which the dead oft promised be would do for me. The loved and loving brother, hus? band, father, friend, died where man? hoods rooming almost touches noon, and while the shadows were still falling to? ward the west. He had not passed on life's highway the stone that marks the highest point; but being weary for the moment, he laid down by the wayside, and using bis bur? den for a pillow, fell into that dreamless sleep that kisses down his eyelids still. While yet in love with life and rap? tured with the world, he passed to silence and pathetic dust. Tet, after all, it may be best, just in the happiest, sunniest hour of all the voyage, while eager winds are kissing every sail, to dash against the unseen rock, and in an instant hear the billows roar above a sunken ship. For whether in mid sea or 'ruong the breakers of the farther shore, a wreck at last must mark the end of each.and all. And every life, no matter if its every hour is rich with love, aud every moment jeweled with a joy, will, at its close, be? come a tragedy as sad and deep and dark as can be woven of the warp and woof of mystery and death. This brave and ten? der man iu every storm of life was oak and rock, but in the sunshine be was vine aud flower. He was the friend of all heroic souls. He climbed the heights, and left all su? perstition far below, while on his fore? head fell the golden dawniug of the gran? der day. He loved the beautiful, and was with color, form and music touched to tears. He sided with the weak, and with a will? ing band gave alms. With loyal heart and with tue purest hands he faithfully discharged all public trusts. He was a worshipper of liberty, a friend of the oppressed. A thousand timesl have heard him quote these words: "For justice all place a temple and all season summer." He believed that hap? piness was the only good, reason the only torch, justice the only worship, human? ity the only religion and love the only priest. He added to the sum of human joy; and were everv one to whom he did a loving service to bring a blossom to bis grave he would sleep to-night beneath a wilderness of flowers. Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud, and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry. From the voiceless lips of the unreply ing dead there comes uo word; but in the night of death hope sees astar, and listen? ing love can hear the rustle of a wing. He who sleeps here, when dying, mis? taking the approach of death for the re? turn of health, whispered with his last breath: "I am better now." Let us believe, in spite of doubts and dogmas, of fears and tears, that these dear words are true of all tbe countless dead. And now, to you, who have been chos? en from among the many men he loved to do the last sad office for the dead, we give bis sacred dust. Speech cannot contain onr love. There was, there is no gentler, stronger, mnn lier man. OS A RUI?AWAY TRAIN. Hand-to-hand Combat in an Engine Cab. The Toneka (Kansas) Commonwealth relates a singular occurrence on a rail? way train on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway, which tbe courage of the conductor only prevented from turning into a terrible calamity. It says: A pas? senger train came rattling up tbe valley between Parsons and Emporia with Dave Dunham at the throttle and Johnny Haley at the furnace, just as it has every evening for the past six years. As en? gineer and fireman these two boys have stood side by side on this run since the spring of 187S, and have not only regis? tered 'on time,' but have, by their Btrict attention to the rules of the road, gained tbe confidence of their employers and the friendship of many people living along tbe division of tbe Missouri, Kan? sas and Texas. As tbe train pulled out from the low land on the Neosho and struck the prai? rie, the conductor noticed a sudden change in speed, but thinking the boys might be 'lifting' her a little to meet the grade, paid no attention to it. The grade was met and passed as though no grade was there, and then down tbe hill she stalled at a terrible rate. As she skimm? ed along the passengers began to show signs of nervousness as they saw farm? houses rushing along as close together, apparently, as in a Kansas town, and the conductor :oo began to think all was not right at the 'steam end.' As the speed increased at every evolution of tbe wheels, cushions, luncb baskets, bundles and babies flew around tbe car like mad, and now the thoroughly frightened pass? engers appealed to the conductor to stop the train. By this time he realized the danger himself, and knowing that a Santa Fe freight train bad tbe 'right of way' at the Emporia junction, and that it would be certain death to reach there ahead of time, he jerked the bell-rope as though a town were on fire. The bell sounded tbe alarm, but as no response came from the whistle he realized for the first time that he was on a runaway train, five coaches from the engine. Whether it was the small amount of his life insu? rance policy, or the safety of the passen? gers that urged him on, will remain an open question, but it is morally certain that be was not many seconds in passing through the coaches, scaling the iron rail ot the mail-car and landing on the coal-pile near the locomotive, which was writhing under the pressure of sixty-five pounds more of steam than was neces? sary for celerity, comfort or convenience. He says as he struck the water-tank and rolled down into tbe cab the en? gine was going so fast that the telegraph poles along the road looked like a 'picket fence.' It took but a moment to putm tbe air breaks, reverse the lever, and slow her down and find himself within 200 yards of an open switch at the Santa Fe crossing, and that the run of eight miles had been made in less than eight minutes. When the train stopped the fireman jumped from the engine and ran down the track toward the city, and the engin? eer, arising from the floor of the cab, ex? plained that just as tbey near?l the Neo sha grade Haley, the fireman, accused him of having reported something dis? creditable to him to the division superin? tendent. This he stoutly denied, where? upon Haley assaulted him with a coal pick and a hand-to-hand scuffle ensued. In the melee the throttle was thrown open, and, going at the rate of a mile a minute, tbey 'ibught it out on that line.' The fireman fled to the sheriff to protect him from the infuriated passengers, when they learned the cause of the imminent danger to which they had been exposed, while the engineer was put under a sur? geon's care, as his wounds were seriour. The conductor was equal to the emer? gency, howover, and mounting the loco? motive ran the train through on time. TUE GREAT CATHEDRAL. Dcdicntioll of the most Magnificent Temple lu America. New York, Sunday, May 25. The dedication of the new Cathedral of St. Patrick to-day was doubtless the most imposing ceremonial of the kind that has ever occurred in the New World. Indeed, it may be safely said that no other religious service in America has brought together so many dignitaries of the Church or been performed with the rubrical elaboration and the impressive ness for which this event was remarkable. The day was propitious, and the chant of the choristers during the ceremony of blessing, that "this is a day of glory, bright among glorious days," was as lite? rally true as was another musical an? nouncement in the same part of the ser? vice, that "it is well founded upon n solid rock." From early .morning until nine or ten o'clock it would seem that every policeman and nearly every man, woman and child had a duty to perform up about Murray Hill. Travel appeared to be all in that direction. Long before ten, the time when the ceremonies began, the block covered by the Cathedral, which is bounded by Fifth and Madison avenues and Fiftieth and Fifty-first streets, was hemmed in by a dense" crowd that could not be numbered, pxcept by a wild guess. Good order prevailed, however, and the four hundred policemen who lined the north and south sides and the front of the Cathedral, where the portals are lo? cated, had nothing serious to trouble them. All the seats, purchased at the rate of five dollar? for those in front (which, by the way, meant by far the greater part of the whole number in the church,) and three dollars for those in the rear, were occupied shortly after nine, and almost as soon every square foot of standing room was occupied by persons who bad paid one dollar each for the right. As already announced, the money thus acquired goes into the building fund, where it is needed. Seats close to the sanctuary were occupied by Lieuten? ant Governor Dorsheimer, Chief Justice P. C. Daley, Judge John R. Brady, Charles O'Conor, Judge Miles Beach, and other prominent citizens. Thomas Hitchcock, of the iS'u/iJwas in a first pew, and two pews behind him was Cornelius Vanderbilt. Henry Bergh and Mrs. Hicks Lord entered together and sat in the same pew. John Kelly, who is one of the trustees of the cathedral, and John McKeon were together also. Other noteworthy persons sprinkled among the assemblage included Sheriff Reilly, Dis? trict Attorney Phelps, Miss Mary L. Booth, editor of Harper's Bazar, Mrs. Barney Williams and Mis? Williams, Nathaniel Jarvis, dirk of the Supreme Court, A. M. Palmer and Mrs. Sheridan Shook. the procession. At the last moment numerous offers of from ten to twenty-five and at last one as high as thirty dollars were made for tickets, and, in a few cases, were accept? ed. The thousands unable to gain ad? mission tried to content themselves with witnessing the blessing of the outside of the building, or with obtaining tickets for the Vespers and eveniug sermon. Although the ceremonies, beginning Sromptty at 10 o'clock, were not conclu ed until 10 minutes past 3, the great audience appeared deeply interested throughout and showed no signs of wea? riness. The sun rays streaming in through the memorial windows, which form the most striking feature of the edifice, brought out fully the beautiful tracery and carving of the lofty roof, arches and superb main altar (upon which not less than $100,000 has been spent,) and the gracefulness of the pil? lars, and shed a soft light upon the silent thousands below. Some sparrows perch? ed upon the marble shamrocks of the roof and united their chirping with the tones of the organ throughout the cere? monies. The floral display was tasteful but not extensive, consisting, on the main altar, of a bed at the foot of the cross above the tabernacle, and two large bouquets on each side, and on each of the four other altars, two of which are on the right and two on the left of the main altar, was the same number of bouquets. Upon all the altars were the usual large candlesticks and candelabra, and when the services commenced all the candles on the main altar were lighted. First came the ceremonies of the bless? ing, which began with an imposing pro? cession that moved from the sacristy, at the Epistle side of the grand altar, through the sanctuary and down the nave aisle, in the following order: Cross bearer, carrying a golden cross, assisted by acolytes with lighted candles; 30 sanctuary boys, in red cassocks and white surplices; 6 priests, in black cas? socks and white surplices, chanting and intoning the psalms of the blessing; 75 priests, in black cassocks and white sur? plices, and carrying Breviaries, who in? toned the Miserere when the procession got outside the Cathedral, and among whom were the Very Rev. Dr. Corcoran, of the Seminary of St. Charles Bor romeo, Philadelphia; 6 Dominicans, in full habit; 88 priests, dressed similarly to the others and performing the same duty, 2 monks with long beards and in brown habit; the sanctuary choir of 120 boya and men, including 30 priests of the archdiocese and the choir of St. Paul the Apostle, all wearing purple cassocks and white surplices; then fol? lowed 38 bishops, all in purple cassocks, lace albs, gold and silver-embroidered white copes and plain white mitres, and each attended by his secretary. the cardinal. Three acolytes in scarlet and lace, the central one holding a golden vase filled with holy water, preceded Cardinal Mc Closkey. The CardiuaPs soutane of wa? tered red silk rustled as he moved, and its train swept far behind him. His waist was girt with a deep sash of water? ed red silk, the ends being weighted with large golden tassels. A surplice of finest lace was above the soutane. A pectoral cross of gold hung from his neck by a gold chain. From his shoulders flowed a mantle of watered white silk encrusted with golden blazonry. The centre of the dazzling show was a pelican nour? ishing her nestlings with her life blood, typifying the supreme devotion of the church to her children. Upon the Car? dinal's venerable head was a cap of gold embroidered cloth of gold. The Cardi? nal's pages, six chubby boys, in white soutanes and lace albs, bearing the Car? dinal's red velvet silver bound missal, bis jewelled triple cross and lighted ta Eer, signifying the light of the faith that is ministration ever yields, and red vel? vet cushions to receive his cope and pectoral cross were the last of the stately procession. It was the most impressive and most dazzling that ever trod the aisles of a New World cathedral. The vast audience arose, and remained stand? ing, while the procession passed down the centre aisle to the grand central por? tal. The crowds outside the building also remained uncovered during the cer? emonies. The Cardinal, on passing out through the portal, turned towards the building and offered up a prayer. Then he recited the antiphon : "Thou shalt spriukle me with hyssop, O Lord," &c. lie then sprinkled the holy water on the walls above and below, the chorus chant? ing the "Miserere." The procession then marched around the building, the Car? dinal sprinkling the walls as be parsed along. The sight was a splendid and striking one. The sun shone brightly on the gorgeous and glittering vestmeuts of archbishops and bishops, and a hundred different shades of color were reflected back. The windows and roofs of the neighboring houses were thronged with spectators, and the streets were crowded. 1 he sweet voices of the choristers rang out clear and musical on the balmy air. After making the round of the building, the procession re-entered the cathedral by the same door at which it came out, and marched to the high altar. Then the Cardinal, accompanied by a number of the clergy, made a circuit of the building and sprinkled the interior walls with holy water. Psalms were chanted by the chorus during the circuit. On returning to the high altar the Cardinal was clothed In full pontifical vestments, and proceeded to celebrate the mass. The mass celebrated, according to the rubrics of the missal, was that of Pope Gregory the Seventh. The grand proportions of the sacred edifice; its magnificent interior,gorgeous in polished marble and Btained glass windows of great beauty; the long pro? cession of bishops and other clergy, re? splendent in their robes of office, who assisted at the dedicatory rites; theglori ous volume of music which filled every part of the grand edifice, making the air vocal with melody; the vast multi? tude of people, thrilled with the gran? deur ana beauty of the scene, all com? bined to render it one of the most striking religious events ever witnessed in the Western hemisphere. The most elaborate preparations that might con? tribute to the grandeur of the ceremonies have been in progress for some time past. Thus, for the last three months nearly one hundred male and female singers have been engaged twice a week rehears? ing the music. Two choirs, including in all two hundred voices, and two or? gans, one in the chancel and one in the gallery, contributed the musical part ol the ceremonies. DESCRIPTION OF THE CATHEDRAL. The Cathedral stands on Fifth avenue, between Fifty-first and Fifty-second sts., and its foundation was laid in 1855 by the late Archbishop Hughes. The foun? dation rests on a bed of solid rock, in which excavations therefor had to be made. At the normal level of the sur? rounding ground rests a chiscl-dreased base course of granite. From this springs a pure Gothic superstructure, similar in architecture to the style ob? taining in Europe the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Themain entrance on Fifth avenue is twelve feet deep, thirty feet wide and embowered in carved devices. From columns, with bases and foliage caps, springs an arch, fringed with a double row of foliated tracery, terminating at the apex in a mock finial. The gable is panelled with traceries, and displays a shield bearing the arms of the diocese in its centre. Over the gable is a crocheted moulding with ornate finials of American foliage, and a row of niches to be filled with figures of saints 7 feet 6 inches high. Above this is a large rose window, 26 feet in diameter, all of Gothic tracery in stone, with one hundred shafts radiating from the centre. The transept fronts are divided into a nave, with side aisles. The doors are 25 feet wide by 54 feet high. The windows are 27 by 57 feet high. The transept gables are 175 feet high. Light is admitted into the Cathedral through 103 windows, the lower tier 32 feet and the upper 28 feet high. Most of the windows on the lower tier are donations from the various churches of the diocese, and some of them are of American make. Those of the nave were ordered by Cardinal Mc Closkey when he went to Rome. The subjects of these windows are: "St. Bernard Preaching the Second Cru? sade," "The Martyrdom of St. Lawrence at Rome," "The Brothers of the Chris? tian Doctrine submitting the Statute of their Order to Pope Benedict XIII," and the "Conversion of Henry of Germany on the Battlefield." Those capable of making comparisons declare that these windows are equal in point of art to the master-pieces of Lovin at the Vatican, Jerusalem, Belgium or Austria. These windows, minus transportation or duty, cost $14,000, and are regarded as one of the permanent ornaments of the city. The interior is divided into three parts ?transept, nave and cboir?of dimen? sions as follows: Length of transept, 140 feet; height of nave, 108 feet. The internal length of the building is 300 feet; breadth, 96 feet. A aeries of chap? els, each twelve feet deep, occupy either side of the edifice. The nave is divided from the aisles by two rows of clustered columns, sixteen columns in a row. The choir has five bays, and is arranged witb double aisles on eithersideof the central aisle. The area of the interior of the Cathedral is 38,500 square feet, and there is standing room for 19,000 people. Four? teen thousand can be accommodated witb seats. The cost of constructing the Ca? thedral thus far amounts to over ?4,000, 000, and about $600,000 more will be re? quired. Like the windows, the altar is a work of art. It is built in the centre of the choir, thirteen feet from the eastern wall of the edifice. The table of the altar is of white marble, and its front and sides are divided into niches and panels. The niches have statues and the panels bas reliefs representing the Passion. The tabernacle in the centre of the altar is of the most ornate kind, composed of mo? saics and embellished with precious stones. Tho door is of bronze, richly gilt. The screen behind the altar is also of marble, and ascends- nine feet above the table level. It is inlaid with diaper work of alabaster, and rests on a base moulding of blue beige marble. Three towers finish the limit of the screen, one in the centre and one at either side. The spire of the centre tower is surmounted with a gold cross, which towers high up towards the ceiling, and is almost lost to view in the varied lights transmitted through the great choir window.

SYMPTOMS OF WORMS. THE countenance is pale and leaden colored, with occasional flushes, or a circumscribed spot on one or both cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pu? pils dilate; an azure semicircle runs along the lower eye-lid; the nose is ir? ritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds; a swelling of the upper lip; occasional headache, with humming or throbbing of the ears; an unusual secretion of saliva; slimy or furred tongue; breath very foul, particularly in the morning; appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a gnawing sensation of the stom? ach, at others, entirely gone; fleeting pains in the stomach; occasional nausea and vomiting; violent pains throughout the abdomen; bowels ir? regular, at times costive; stools slimy; not unfrequently tinged with blood; belly swollen and hard; urine turbid; respiration occasionally difficult, and accompanied by hiccough; cough sometimes dry and convulsive; uneasy and disturbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth; temper variable, but gener? ally irritable, &c. Whenever the above symptoms are found to exist, DR. C. McLANE'S VERMIFUGE will certainly effect a cure. it does not contain mercury in any form; it is an innocent prepara? tion, not capable of doing the slightest injury to the most tender infant. The genuine Dr. McLane's Ver? mifuge bears the signatures of C. Mc Lane and Fleming Bros, on the wrapper. -:o: DR. C. McLANE'S LIVER PILLS are not recommended as a remedy "for all the ills that flesh is heir to," but in affections of the liver, and in all Bilious Complaints, Dyspepsia and Sick Headache, or diseases of that character, they stand without a rival. AGUE AND FEVER. No better cathartic can be used preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. As a simple purgative they arc unequr.icd, BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Each box has a red wax seal on the lid with the impression Dr. McLane's LtVEK Pills. Each wrapper bears the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. Mc? Lane's Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation. This Important organ weighs hut about three pounds, and all the blood in a living person (about three gallons) passes through it at least once every half hcur, to nave the bite and other impurities strained or filtered from it. Bile is the natural purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car? ried through the veins to all parts of the system, and in trying to escape through the pores of the skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown color. The stomach becomes dir.eased, and Dys? pepsia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, IMi ousness. Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles. Sick and Sour Stomach, and general debility fol? low. Mbrrell's Hbpatins, the great vegetable discovery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw off from one to two ounces of bile each time the blood passes through it, as long as there is an ex? cess of bile; and the effect of even a few doses upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking skin, will astonish all who try it?they being the first symptoms to disappear.
