Ia seeking the source of this marvellous
exhibition of resisting power shown by
the South, it is proper to take into the
account the fact that she occupied the in
terror lines of defense. Bat TO my mind.
the one sufficient explanation the s.eaasn

Union, decided to Withdraw from it with

right to Withdraw was denied and the
North made ready for war.

An Accidental O~rA

Persons given 10 meditation muse o.
ten have found ample material for spec
ulation in endeavoring to imagine what
train of thought could have prompted
the introduction of certain surgical pro-
cedures, or led to the first trial of this
or that therapeutical agent in the treat
ment of particular disease. What, for
example, could have stimulated the first
idea of curing sciatica by stretching the
sciatic nerve9 Certainly the task OF
finding train Of thought which should
conduct to that conclusion would be Q
severe one. Many such methods have
doubtless been suggested by real or
fancied analogy between them and Ger.
tain natural accidental occurrences, and
in this sort of observation charlatans in
all ages have shown themselves singu-
larly apt.
We may quote an instance Of recent
occurrence where the cure was effected
under circumstances which must have
suggested to bone shakers their violent
and unscientific but occasionally sue
cessful manipulations. In this case the
person had been almost bedridden for
many weeks from sciatica; still suffer-
ing acutely from the attack, but a trifie
less in pain, h. hobbled forth to get the
benefit of little fresh air; at a crossing
he was roughly pushed by a passing
vehicle. and after a desperate but un-
availing effort to preserve his equilibrium
he fell on the road in the midst Of a
fairly dense traffic. 1t was only when
he had regained the sidewalk that he be-
gan to feel astonishment at the, in him,
remarkable agility shown in jumping
up and running to place of safety
