rs THE CHAR CRAZYf

The average despot Of all periods is SO
prone to the abuse Of power and the in
diligence Of vice that naturally he or MS
descendants pay the penalty Of system
attic violation of reason. The report OF
the Cars crazy fits recalls the historical
testimony that among the earlier en-
nerors of Russia, Ivan, surnamed the
"Terrible," was subject to fits and Tor
fifteen years dwelt in terror, jealousy ana
hatred-a prey to his vices and whimsical
passion for cruelty. OF the four sons OF
Alexis-ruling son Of the first Gar OF
the House Of Romanof-one was an i'm
beetle. one was weak minded and one had
genius peter the Great. In the latter
the neurosis was shown by tendency to
commissions.
But this tendency to insanity is not
confined to Russia royalty.
In the Persian and Babylonian dynas-
ties in the Julian race, and even that OF
great Charlemagne, in the royal families
of Turkey. of Spain, and many others,
there appears that horrible faint. Com
pairing the reigning families Of England
with such records we see the difference
and read the moral.

Old Virginia Gentleman.

4 Washington correspondent says
about the change of programme that
an old Southerner remarked, There are
two ladies involved in this affair, sir, and
it is not proper subject of public dis
cussion. No gentleman has right to
give Miss Winnie Davis unnecessary pain
by assuming that she is the cause OF Mrs.
Cleveland's refusal to visit Richmond,
nor has any gentleman the right to as
sumo. without full knowledge of the
facts, that Mrs. Cleveland stayed away
from any such motive as has been at
tributed to her, and, as believe, without
any warrant"

night May 29th, at eight o'clock. This ac-
ton is necessitated by his large practice in
other sections of the state. Large numbers
of patients have come to him from every
part of the state, as well as from Massachu-
sets, and so wide has spread the fame OF his
cures that he finds it impossible to make
appointments for the patients who wish to
come to him, as we'll as tax upon them,
and he therefore decides to spend short
time in several different sections, alike to
accommodate the people and relieve the
pressure of medical correspondence. The
doctor has had great success here, and it
is a success that has been steadily growing,
so that if he returns to Montpelier he may
be sure of warm and eager welcome from
the people who have come under his treat
ment. A skilled practitioner, a specialist
in some of the most difficult of chronic all
ments, he is more than justified in looking
back with satisfaction to his success and to
the fame he has won, as wide as the confines
of the Union. The remaining days should
be improved as perhaps, and probably, the
last opportunity of people in this section.
Consultation is free If he can't cure you
he will tell you So and if he can he will
only charge for what his great experience
and long study warrant. Remember Sat
urday, May Goth, is positively the last day
ago and see what the press of the country
and the thousands of patients he has treated
say of him as a doctor and man.
