BY JULIAN A. SELBY
A Centenarian.?Even Sir George
Cornwall Lewis himself, wc think,
must "give in" to the Baron Wal?
deck. If that remarkable old man
was not 109 years old when he
died, there is no means of knowing
how old anybody is, for the record
of Waldeck's birth at Prauge, on
March 16, 1776, is as good a record
as we aro accustomed to ask, and
his claim to the title of a centena?
rian is quite equal to M. Thier's
claim to be called an octogenarian,
which nobody disputes. M. Thiers
has been before the public from a
time to which the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary, but
Waldeck was heard of before that.
Ho was in Africa with Le Vaillant,
and Le Vaillant returned to Paris
from his remarkable explorations
in 1785; ninety years ago. Ho was
a pupil of David, who has been
half a century in his grave. He
was with Napoleon in Egypt, with
Lord Cochrane in Chili, he tra?
veled in Central America and Mexi?
co when these countries were little
known to Europeans, and as long
ago as 1826 the Government gave
him an annuity of 2,000 francs for
some of his pictures, rather than
pay him 40,000 francs, which was
thought too high a price. It was
not only the Director of the Ecole
des Beaux Arts, by the way, that
Waldeck got the better of; he had
a seat at the opera which he had
bought for the rest of his life, and
which he occupied for about two
ordinary lifetimes, to the infinite
chagrin of the management. In?
deed, people who invested on the
chances of the old man's death
found their investment a poor one,
and used to say of himself that, as
he had long survived the .period
when men usually die, and kept
his faculties unimpaired, there
was no apparent reason why he
should-not live forever. He kept
on painting pictures and writing
elaborate work archaeology almost
to the day of his death, while the
young men who grew up about
him were gathered in to their graves.
Only think of a man who had
known Mario Antoinette before
her marriage; who had seen her
glory and her fall;, who had walked
and talked with Danton, Robes?
pierre and Marat; who had served
with Napoleon, who, from his stu?
dio in Paris, had seen pass before
his eyes the First Empire, Lonis
XVIII and the monarchy of July,
the revolution of February and tho
Second Empire, the 4th of Septem?
ber, the Commune and M. Theirs, I
and who waited with the same in?
difference to see MacMahon also
pass away. "I am the only phe?
nomenon of my kind," he said;
"like Buddha, I contemplate my?
self alone." It would need the
pen of a Hawthorne to do justice
to such a history; but it is not a
history that one can covet, though
old "Waldeck appears to have
found very little of the sadness in
it that Hawthorne would have
dwelt upon. But Waldeck was a
Parisian, and a cosmopolite.
[Philadelphia Times
Far Western newspapers may
not present to the world obituary
notices possessing the smothness
and alliterative melody of the pro?
ductions which make the grave a
refuge in the East, but they have
pith and energy in the Occident.
Not long ago, a tremendous explo?
sion occurred in 'San Francisco,
caused by the carelessness of a
single individual, and resulted in
the death of several persons! After
the accident came the newspaper
comments, of course, nnd thus one
journal pleasantly suggests an epi?
taph for the man who caused the
sad disaster: The explosion which
'co?t so * many persons their lives
$}vas caused by a spark from a pipe,
which the man Clark was smoking,
dropping into some powder. They
need not look for Clark's brains;
but when they get fche reBt' of him
together thoy ought to bury the
fragments in u prominent square,
nnd erect over them a monument I
containing the inscription: "Sacred
to the memory of a d?d fool!"
"While on the subito1., we may as
well mehtio? that the Presbyterian
church in this and other countries
number about 8,500,000 souls.

The symptoms of Liver Complaint are
uneasiness and pain in the side. Some?
times the pain is in the shoulder, and is
mistaken for rheumatism. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and sick?
ness, bowels in general costive, and
sometimes alternating with lax. The
bead is troubled with pain, and dull,
heavy sensation, considerable loss ol
memory, accompanied with painful sen?
sation of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. Often
eomplaimng of weakness, debility and
low spirits. Sometimes many of the
ibove symptoms attend the disease, and
at other times, very few of them; but the
Liv<r is generally the organ most in
volved.
