Serious and inCurpble diseases have fol-

imprudeut and dangerous forms OF gym

MentaIvs. Observation-Disclosures.

To the Editor ofthe Dispatch
Now that public attention has been di-
rected OF late to the importance Of physi-
cal development. and gymnasiuns have
been erected in many OF the educational
institutions in this country, and boat
clubs and baseball clubs have become
20 common, it may be proper to consider
the limits to which the system of Grain
ing may he carried without injury to
the intellectual faculties.
A moderate degree OF exercise, taken
daily ana preferably in the open air,
and with an object i'll view. is pn adln-
want to the working capacity of tho
brain, inasmnch as 1t improves the con-
ditlon OF tho blood. from which tho
brain derives its nutriment by aiding di-
gestion Snd respiration and other funo-
lions essential 10 hfe and health.
But severe and prolonged mental work
is incompatible with violent and long
continued bodily exercise. Either one
involves an exhaustion Of the vital
forces, and when an individual attempts
both no is burning the candle of life at
both ends. and viii como 10 grief if LIE
continues IL such courGe.
While manual labor is useful and
honorable. and while it forms the basis
upon which the splendid superstructlre
of modern civilization Is built. Its ten
dency 10 cramp and dwarf the intellectual
and emotional faculties should be well
understood snd gpayded against.
There must needs 10 in all civilized
communities a large proportion OF per
sons wso earn their bread by the sweat
of their brows, and it has been falsely
and boastfully assumed by these that
they ore the only real workers IN the
hive, and that the rest are drones or
parasites.
All honor to the men whose hard and
horny palms bear witness to honest and
seli-sacrifcing toll But that sh0uld not
blind us 70 the fact that the injurious
effect of this method OF lie upon the
mental faculties should be obyiated IS
far as possible. All that has been said
OF the importance OF bodily develop
ment 10 the student is equally appica-
bic in regard to mental development 10
the laborer SO intimate are the rels-
tions Of mind and body that neither can
attain the best results without the as
sistaRce Of the other.
All honor, too, to the men whose pa
tent and laborious efforts have brought
to light tire hidden forces OF steam, cleo
tricity, and other natural agencies, and
have transferred so much toll and
drudgery from human muscle to these
tireless workers; who have transformed
the laborer from a british unreasonipg
dolt into an Intelligent director and
manager Of the forces intrusted to his
care.
We glory in the triumphs Of modern
discovery, in the humiliation, SO to
speak, OF time and space. forgetting
what possibilities of culture and i'm
proyement they give to the masses by
substituting rational ia the place Of
british labor brain work instead Of
muscular. VI. ID.

To the Edit0r Of the Dispatch:
viii you please give space in your
paper for this appeal for assistance for
all unfortunate Confederate soldier?
There came man hero abont year
ago who gave his name IS Charles b..
Eidson. lie was insane and in very in
dieent circumstances. lie vas taken
care Of last winter by Colonel }. i.
Formby, an eXConfederate soldier aud
MAYOR of huntsville.
Mr.. Eidson's INSANITY Is of very sim
gular nature. he imagines that there is
large sum Of money due him Tor his
tory which be claims to have written and
furnished to publishers in Memphis,
Tenn. He visits the express Office every
day to inquire for his imaginary pack
age. He also says General Grant IS
gong to send him fine horse end bug
~. He appears to have been a high
minded person and to have once been a
close student Of the sciences.
Though insane, he las fine command
OF language and sometimes INDUCES IN
a short harsnGue in which he employs
the choicest flowers OF rhetoric.
He says he served one year Ill the
Fourth North Carolina regiment, IN
der command OF Colonel q. b. AHder-
son. lie had a brother killed in the
Seven-Days' fight. lie claims to have
brother i'll Statewide, \. O.. but says he
has not heard from him since 1871 or
1872.
If any of his friends or old comrades
feel disposed to assist him any they can
remit by money-order or registered let
ter to either ". IL. Smith, postmaster,
orJ. Z. Formby. mayor Of huntsville.
All money will be promptly receipted
for and applied to the uso OF Mr. I'D
son. All letters concerning him viii be
answered. Ore dollar each from his old
comrades will greatly relieve the poor
old soldier and not be missed by the do
nors. Our soldiers get no pensions, but
| feel assured that no deserving Confed-
crate soldier will ever be allowed to sui
fer while any OF his brave comrades sur
vive.
North Carolina papers will please
copy. Respectfully, w. Ii. SMITH.
