COMMENT ON EVERY SIDE,

while people seem investigating and adj
vancing in every direction which can help
them morally, mentally or physically.
This is specially trde of the human body
and everything which concerns it, and the
truths which the people have found, even
in the last fifty years, are simply marvellous.
How really ignorant some cultured and
supposedly scientific people were only a
few years ago. as compared with the pres
ent day, may be better understood from a
few Illustrative facts. A prominent writer
prepared an elaborate essay to prove that
steamships could never cross the Atlantic,
and his pamphlet was issued just in time to
be carried by the first steamer that went to
England. People once believed that the
heart was the seat of life and health. 1t is
now known that this organ is only pump,
simply keeping in motion what other and
more important organs of the body have
created and transformed. twas once sup
posed that if a person felt pain in the
back, the liver was deranged; if a pain
came in the lower chest the lungs were af-
fected and consumption was near; it is now
known that pain in the back indicates
diseased kidneys, while troubles in the
lower chest arise from a disordered liver
and not imperfect lungs. A severe pain in
the head was once thought to come from
some partial arrangement of the brain; it
is now known that troubles in other parts
of the body and away from the head, cause
headaches and that only by removing the
cause can the pain be cured. 1t is mat
ter of

The Lynchburg Convention.

We publish in another column, the
proceedings, IN part, of the Lynchburg
Republican Convention.
The delegates were composed most
ly Of ignorant negroes aud many OF
them were bought up by the Malone
party. The proceedings was a dis
grace not only to the party but to the
entire State. If the Mahoneite party
think that by buying lot OF ignorant
delegates they haye bought the entire
Republican party, they will find that
they are mistaken. While the Repub-
lIcan party is composed, in part, OF
ignorant negroes and white men who
to the party for the sake of some
petty Office and are at all times ready to
repudiate the principles OF their party
in order TO obtain q closer hold upon
office, there is large element who are
Republicans from principle. This
element has not been bought and it IS
not now for sale. 1t Is sufficiently
large to defeat the schemes of Malone
and his party. They have adopted a
platform setting forth their principles.
1t is hardly necessary to say that their
principles are IN direct opposition to
the reputation schemes of the Ma
honeites.
The Intelligent, conservative element
of the Republican party will not touch
the Malone ticket, or endorse the &C.
ton Of the coalitionists.
