A Mysterious Disease.

For some wears past singular disease
has been prevalent among boys, and some
times girls, which has, 50 far, baffied the
skill Of the most learned physicians
Il usually attacks its victim between the
ages of twelve and sixteen, and LA. run OF
from one 10 three years, according to the
constitution and general surroundings of
the patient. Ii first manifcsts itself in a
singular hallucination, amounting almost to
a mania. The patient, if boy, imagnes
himself man. If not more. and fancies he
knows more than his father and mother to-
sether and thinks he can outwit. whip and
generally 'squelch' his school teacher.
About this time he is very susceptible to
the influence Of the tobacco tiend, and the
habit is almost invariably traceable to the
influence Of this disease. Indeed the tubae-
co habit is the only permanent effect Of The
malady, and if the patien, can be kept from
contracting it till the disease has run its
course he is comparatively safe.
Physicians differ As TO the proper treat
ment of this disease--some advocate Wig
orous application Of oil of birch others
think it better TO let it severely alone,
and let il have its course; while some fall
into the mistake Of supposing it is no
disease at all, as if the patient could help
it-bless you, he can no more help it than
dyspeptic can help being fretful-what
more could be said,

So far, no name has been given to this
disease, but it seems nearly akin to the dis
ease which attacks young half grown tur-
keys, and which in them is called the "red-

not old enough TO gobbe.
The disease is not confined to boys, as
girls nave it in a modified form, the symp-

and the patient generally feels. and acts a

their manhood. Mr.. Tucker considers
everything from q specialist lawyer S
standpoint. His views, his methods of
thought. his training, his associations,
his sublimated idealisms do not touch or
sympathiZe with the common interests of
the people. He is in no sense fitted or
qualified for practical representative du-
ties. Absorbed in his theories and. ab-
stractions he does not comprehend OF ap-
preciate the demands and interests of a
practical people. He lives in an atmosphere
removed from the level of the Masses
His whole legislative experience demon
strates this. His votes on practical meas
ures directly related to the common bene-
ft-a affecting material development and
the general welfare, locate him outside of
the currents which move and operate
among business interests and influence the
practical things of life. Every reading
man knows this, and if the honest iudg-
ment of the voters OF. the district is re-
corded in November next, he will not be

A Great Man Gone.

On the Goth, at Deer Park, Md. Hon.
Jno. w. Garrett, President of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, breathed his last,
after protracted illness, aged Ga. He
was one Of the controlling minds of his
day, and inshis, far-reaching sagacity and
splendid administrative abilities, gave evil
dence of the fact that the greatest intel
lects Of the nation are now engaged in de-
veloping its resources, unifying it's inter-
ests, and increasing it's commercial and
political power and importance.
Mr.. Garrett was a native of Baltimore,
and completed his scholastic education at
Lafayette College, Pa, when 10 years of
age. He then returned to Baltimore and
entered the counting house of his father.
where he remained until he was elected a
director of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company in 1857. During the year
following he was elected it's president, and
from that time the success of the road
seemed assured. Through his manage
ment all the connections of the road west
OF the Ohio river were made and the Pitts
burg and Connellsville road was finished
and developed under his untiring exertions.
With rare exceptions, since he assumed
the management OF the road, its stock has
constantly increased in value and main
tanned standing above par. His labors
were continuous, and though he possessed
a robust constitution, two years ago his
health fai1ad hut ha 6id not r;t II dro ~, f,,,1,
active participation in the management of
the road until about year ago. About
that time Mrs. Garrett lost her life by an
accident, and that caused shock to his
nervous system from which he never re-
covered He had been at Deer Park for
some time, and it was supposed the noun
tain air would be of benefit to him, but his
mental as well as physical prostration was
80 great that he could not rally. The loss
sustained by the Baltimore and Ohio road,
as well as by the city of Baltimore, where
he was always i'll the front rank of enter
prise and charity, is incalculable.
For several years the great corporation
sover which he had presided SO long and
with such marvellous results, has been
practically under the management of Mr..
Robt. Garrett, his son, and LIST vlce-presi-
dent. Now that the father is no more, we
presume the son will be advanced to
the position made. vacant by his death.
He is eminently qualified for the intricate
and arduous duties of the office, and will
measure up to the vast requirements he
will assume.

The President has appointed ost-Mas-
ter General W @. Gresham-ta be Secre-
tary.of the Treasury, to Ill the vacancy
eeeasioned by the death of Judge Folger.
1t was unexpected to Mr.. Gresham, but
he promptly accepted, in order to meet
the emergencies of the occasion. First
Assistant p. M. General Hatton has been
assigned acting Postmaster General and
will probably disappointed to iill the posi-
ton during President Arthur's admins
tration. Judge Gresham's appointment
has met with very favorable comment
from the press.

THE REUNIoN.-The published pro-
gramme for the reunion of the Confed-
crate and Mexican soldiers to take place
on the 18th inst, at the Fair Grounds
promises one of the most interesting and
inspiring episodes of the Annual Exhibit
ton. 1t will bring together to flight their
battles oer,' those who shared in the
weary marches and bloody engagements
of the late unhappy conflict, and who.
'outnumbered but not outbraved,' y were
compelled.to furl their banner in defeat:
and those who marched over the sun
scorched plains of Mexico, and carried the
flag of their country to a glorious triumph
and planted it on the walls Of the city of the
MonteZumas. 1t will be memorable oc-
casion and bring into fresh remembrance
the incidents of camp and field, whether
flushed withsvictory OF depressed by dis
aster. We hope there will be a full at
tendance of the volunteers from the VAL
ley and that the meeting and the greet
ings will constitute a cherished remem-
brance in the time to come.
