A flash of Joy illumined the girls pale

brimming eyes as Carruthers clasped her

The struggle in the old mans mind
had been long, and sharp, and bitter.
The prejudice of years and a sense of
cruel wrong had fought hand to hand
with desire for his daughters happi-
ness, and growing conviction of the
worthiness of her lover. The latter had
conquered and the victory was complete.

In the morning the giant oak had fallen.
Its roots protruded from the earth.
Two men had sought the spot, and the
younger pointed with a trembling finger
to a small tin box, which lay closely
clasped in the intcrlacing roots.
''Thank God it is found" cried the
younger, excitedly, as he disentangled
and handed it to the old man.
Its contents were intact. and the old

Fashions i'm Maladies.

Most physicians are likely to have the,
cries about diseases rather than actual
knowledge thereof, because, being ig-
norant of what is going on inside the
human body. they are forced to surmise
and infer, from certain data, often in
sufficient Their theories seem to enjoy
kind of periodicity. Physicians look
to this or that organ, and usually find, or
think they find that its arrangement lies
Mt the base of the trouble. In the same
way specialists always discover in pa
tients what is their speciality, whether it
be nerves. brain, heart, liver, lungs or
kidneys, as most of us are prone to find
what we seek. Until Richard Bright
had published his treatises, forty-six
and forty seven years ago, no one had
supposed the kidneys affected, and he
might not have turned his attention to
this disorder but from his own nephritic
sufferings, which finally caused his
death. Bright's disease gets it's name
from him, and ever since he described
its symptoms physicians have regarded
the kidneys as the source of numberless
ailments. Every one must have noticed
how constantly nowadays the cause of
mortality is called Brights disease;
often, indeed, when it is something
else. Many of the abest and most ex-
perienced practitioners regard Bright's
disease, or albumenuria, as combina-
ton of diseases rather than aseparate and
distinct disease. This would account
for the number of old persons who are
thought to die of Albumenuria. A man
who has long been ill must be affected
in different organs, the arrangement of
one causing the arrangement of another
Thus general breaking down is called
albumenuria. The kidneys have, in the
way of diagnoses, nearly had their run,
which has lasted almost half century.
The liver is now having its turn, and ere
long no doubt most disorders will be at
tributcd thereto. This is moderately
safe, because its condition is hard to de-
termine, and theory will answer in the
absence of facts. There are cras and
fashions in maladies, as in other things,
and at present the liver may be said to
be coming in.-Ne,o York Commercial.

The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1886-04-29

An interview with Gov. Lee, published
in the Virginia papers, has drawn from
him some undignifed and uncalled for
criticism Of Col. j. d. Brady, because of
the bill he recently introduced in Congress.
Referring to the subject, the Petersburg
Ladec- Appeal, the ablest and fairest Dem
ocratic paper in the State, says:
Gov Lee denies Mr.. Brady the credit of
originating the bill recently introduced in
congress authorizing the appointing of a
board OF commissioners concerning Vir-
glnia's debt, and thinks that an inves-
tigation would show that BRADY was the
supple-jack who is jumping when others
pull the string" The governors opinion
does not seem to be based on any knowl-
edge of the facts in the case, and is as
liable to be erroneous as any other man S
opinion. We think it more likely that
Mr.. Brady prepared the measure without
assistance from any source. Certainly he
has never disguised the fact that he did
not agree with Gen. Malone on read
justment land we find nothing in the present
bill to show that he has changed his mind
in this respect. or that Malone had hand
in its preparation. On the contrary, we
have personal knowledge of the fact that
Mr.. Brady entertained and expressed the

before the alliance Of the readjuster and
republican PARTISAN alliance which
ended in the final and complete surrender
of Gen. Malone and his friends to Mr.
Irady'S party. We are not Mr.. Brady s
champion in this or any other matter. but
we do love justice and fair play and shall
always insist upon giving the devil his due
