blespoonful OF skim milk, emitting
it one hour before aud one hour after
dinner. For dinner, rare roast beef

cup OF clear coffee; nothing else.
After dinner resume taking the table
spoonful of milk once every hour for
the rest OF the day. On the second
cay let the dose OF milk be two tea
spoonfuls, the other details remain
ing the same. On the third day take
three spoonfuls Of milk each hour,
and after that little bread may be

be continued liftceh days. at the end

A WONDERFUL WALL.
A Discorery in Virginia Which Inter-
eSts AntiGuarianS.

4 singular wall has been discovered
In Virginia. on the line or the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad. and six
ty-seven feet ten inches long, fifteen
feet high, eighteen inches thick at
the top, and two and one half feet at
the bottom, 1t runs northeast aud
southwest, and is situated at the lower
end Of slight elevation, whibh as
cends gradually. The position OF the
wall and all its environments pre-
cludes the idea that it could have
been buried under the accumulation
OF sands conveyed by the rains from
above. The stones of which the wall
is composed are Of common white.
hinty quartz. They are irregularly
shaped, but as Nat aud smooth as il
designed for the ordinary purposes Of
masonry. The intersiices are filed
with smaller stones. The cement or
clay when first exposed TO the air Is
OF the consistency Of putty, bat soon
indcrates to degree that il may
readily cut in any shape with pocx-
et-knife' 1t has no obvious afiLity
with the soil which lately inclosed
tho wall, and nothing similar in char
acter can be found in radius OF
miles. Ii is imbedded in micaceous
sandstone, requiring both grub-hoe
and pick to extricate ii. The stones
are adjusted with the accuracy OF
square and plumb.
Now, as 10 the history Of this un-
earthed wonder. Fifty or sixty years
ago, when the land was covered with
forest, and being surveyed under the
direction OF u Mr.. HuddestowD, then
the owner, the surveyor observed
such a DETECTION in the needle or his
compass rs indicated the presence OF
metal. 1t was thought that gold
bearing quartz was near. An exca-
walton was made, but no gold being
found ia the rock, further search was
not prosecuted. Professor Campbell,
OF Lexington, has not seen the wall,
but from the accounts OF ii which he
has read thinks it is one OF the geo.
logical dykes common in some
places and not the work OF man,
But on the other hand. gentleman
or great Intelligence, including some
geological requirements. who has
made a thorough examination OF the
wall, says: The coup d'Gil, az we'll

parts, proves beyond preadventure a
wall made with human hands, and oil
great antiquity. In connection with
the late discoveries Ia Ohio, it tends
to establish the truth OF the theory
that higher order of civilization
preceded the Indians on this CONT
nent. 1t is study for antiquarians,
