BY JULIAN A. SELBY. The Tebbobs op the "Witness-Box.? . Mr. tBeeeher's careful way of testifying { reminds' a correspondent of the New i York Evening Post^ot an anecdote of Admiral Bailey, as follows: Bailey was once summoned as a witoess in a civil ?i*_e ??i*?,.?ii.?_ ?ff. VI?. V ill W-?? 1' * "1' H' * " ' K Uun W MAUA. HiB* anxiety was increased by the warn? ings of his friends^who were constantly telling him to be on his guard, aa the lawyers wonld bother him, and mako him contradict himself and appear to bo a liar. The old fellow hrfd a sleepless night before the day of trial, and when he entered the witness-box it was with a nervousness such as ho had never ex? perienced in going into battle, When the firet question, "What is yonr name?" was proposed to him, his hands fidgeted tremblingly about and the perspiration broke out on his brow. He was evidently in deep and perplexing thought., and re? mained silent. The question was re? peated witth emphasis: "I ask, what is your name, sir? With a mighty effort the old Admiral jerked out tho result of his deliberations, "The-odo-rus Bailey," adding impressively, "or words to that effect." The State Department has received, through British sources, information that the brig James Birney, carrying tho American nag, while at Howe's group of islands, in the Pacific, in September last, was captured by the natives and one-half the crew murdered, while the remainder escaped in tho ship's boat. In the list of officers and Bcamen fur? nished it (s evident they were all British subjects, which opinion is not only con? firmed by the Navy Department, but the suspicion is that ton James Birney is an English vessel sailing under tho Ameri? can colors, engaged in stealing the I natives of the group of islands visitod, and that the natives only defended them-1 selves against the intruders. Jimmy BrOwn came running into Mr*. Jones' house the other day, saying: "Oh, dear, Mrs. Jones, Buch an acoident has happened. Your son John got under a four-horse wagon load of pig iron down at the river, and it ran right over his head. "Oh, dear!" Poor Mrs Jones screamed and nearly fainted, when the little rascal added: "Don't cry Mrs. Jones, he wasn't hurt bit." "Why, what ' do you mean? Hun over by a four-horso wagon load of pig iron and not hurt?" "Well, you see, the wagon was passing , over the bridge and he was sitting under it fishing," replied the little rascal, shooting out at the open door. The marriage of Miss Ida Greeley, eld? est daughter of the late Horaoe Oreeley, to Nicholas Smith, of Oovington Ky., who served throughout the Confederate | army, took place on Saturday morning at the residence of the bride's aunt, Mrs. John F. Cleveland, in New York. The1 services wore solemnized according to the Boman Catholic form?that being the faith of the bride's mother?by the Eev. Father Farrell. "Why are women so much more cour? ageous than men?" asked a lady, the other day, after talking of polities and war. ?"Because it is not they who have to fight!" he replied.

Apr 20 tu4 ?REGULATOR The symptoms of Liver Complaint are uneasiness and pain in the side. Some times the pain is in the shoulder, and mistaken for rheumatism. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sick ess, bowels in general costive, and sometimes alternating with lax. The bead is troubled with pain, and dull heavy sensation, considerable loss oi memory, accompanied with painful sen sat ion of having left undone something which ought to have been done. Often complaining of weakness, debility and low spirits. Sometimes many of th above symptoms attend the disease, and at other times, very few of them; but the Liver is generally the organ most in volvcd. simmons' lTvEi?eculator! For all Diseases of the Liver, Stomach- and Spleen ! IT is evidently a Family Medicine, and by being kept ready for im? mediate resort, will save many ;-.n hour of suffering, and many a dollar in time and doctors' bills. After forty years' trial, it is still receiving the most unqualified testi? monials of its virtues from persons of the highest character and re? sponsibility. Eminent physicians commend it as the most EFFECTUAL SPECIFIC for Consttfation, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Dizziness, Sour Stomach, had taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, Despondency, Gloom and forebodings of evil; all of which are the offspring of a diseased Liver. If you feel Dnll, Drowsy, Debilitated, have frequent headache, Mouth tastes badly, poor Appetite and Tongxc Coated, you are suffer? ing from Torpid Liver, or "Biliousness," and nothing will cure you so - speedily and permanently. The Liver, the largest organ in the body, is generally the seat of the disease, and if not Regulated in time, great suffering, wretchedness and DEATH will ensue. Armed with this ANTIDOTE, all climates and changes of water and food may bo faced without fear. As a remedy in MALARIOUS FEVERS, BOWEL COMPLAINTS, RESTLESSNESS, JAUNDICE.
