BY JULIAN A. SELBY Bloine was in at tlie death in Connecticut. He seems to havo a tide of blunders upon him just now. He blundered in either not defi? antly assailing the Administration when he assailed its measures, or in not accepting its policy and championing its authors. Ho blun? dered when he allowed his head to be, bared to Administration blows by becoming the centre of a Presi? dential movement iu dubious cir? cles in Philadelphia, and he blun? dered when, after having been hounded by the President's organ, he yielded a half-way obedience to the arrogance of power by repeat? ing old-time sectional speeches in Connecticut. He should have gone there to go through with the party ?force bUl, third term and all? or he should have staid at home, for in the wreck that followed his campaigning there he is blamed by both sides for having been either cold or hot. If Blaine were rnn ?ning anyone else for tho Presidency he would need to be told that a Presidential candidate can afford to bo silent most times, and can afford to speak sometimes, but can never afford to speak and mean nothing; and when for want of something sensible to say, he de? clared that ho desires the Republi? can party to fight its battles on the issue of eternal sectional hate?"to stand," as lie says "in '76 and '80 and '84, and in ninny other cam? paigns whero our brothers stood from *G1 to *65," he fairly gets down to the political level of averge carpet-bagger legislative candi? dates in the South, and men of aldermanic and constabulary ambi? tion in the political slums of our cities. Blaine wants a committee, and must have it soon, or a once promising Presidential nag will be fitring-halt and . spavined long be? fore time is called. Silence, James; "there's million in it!" , [Philadelphia Time*. <? ~ *?* ~ . A Texas paper asserts that sheep valued at $7,000,000 are annually destroyed in that State. This seem abuost incredible, but it is 'certain that tho destruction of sheep by dogs in the whole country involves an enormous loss. Marjiand and Virginia &A'e both great sufferers from this cause. The destructive propensities of the dog in this re? spect moire than counterbalance any services ho renders. It is plea sent to have the affection ever of a dog, but his affection for sheep is often stronger than for his master. The agriculturist will have to choose between the sentiuientul es? timation of dogs and the value of mutton and wool. ? - - - ? The Connecticut Election.? There is mourning in the "White House to-day, and Republicans are sad and solemn over the Connecti? cut election, while Democrats are jubilant. The latter would have felt no chagrin had the Democracy of the Nutmeg State held their own simply; but a gain of two Con-j gressmen, with increased majorities throughout the State, in the face of the superhuman efforts of the | Radicals, and their feverish expen? diture of money, is a surprising' victory. The Republicans were beaten at all points..

Some-j times the pain is in the shoulder, and is mistaken for rheumatism. The stomach kis affected with loss of appetite and sick Jness, bow ein in general costive, and sometimes alternating with lax. The | head is troubled with pain, and dull, heavy sensation, considerable loss ol memory, accompanied with painful sen-1 cation of having left undone something | which ought to have been done. Often complaining e>f weakness, debility and low spirits. Sometimes many of the I above symptoms attend the disease, ami at other times, very few of them: but thai Liver is generally the organ most in-1 volveel. IMMONS' LIVER REGULATOR!
