The Fate that Overcame Little Mac and
Five Other Govsrnors.
Apropos OF the sudden death Of Gen: Geo
B. Mcclellan, we note that the New York
Sun, points out the singular fact that Gov
Wright, Governor William L. Marcy,
Governor and Chief Justice Sanford E:

Roberts, the great English authority says
that heart disease is chiefly secondary to
some more fatal malady in the blood or
other vital organs. That is, it is not the
original source of the fatal malady.
The work of the heart is to force blood
into.every part Of the system. II the or
gans are sound, it is an easy task. II they
are at all diseased. it is q very, very hard
task. Take as an illustration: The kidneys
are very subject to congestion, and yet,
being deficient in the nerves Of sensation,
this consested condition is not indicated by
pain. II may exist for years, unknown
even to physicians, and if it does not result
in complete destruction of the kidneys, the
