II is a singular thing that in the
popular view OF disease the interde-
pefdence OF the several organs Of the
BODY is lost sight Of The heart, for
example, is diseased and it is treated as
if it we're entirely separated from, and
independent Of every other organ.

Thursday evening of last week and re-

He was exercising the animal on the
Fair ground race track and the horse
ran OF. He did his utmost without
avail to stop the steed. The horse
ran wildly around the track three
times, and finding he could not get
control Of it, MIR. Lowndes concluded
to Jump OF. Watching his oppor-
tunity he jumped when the horse
seemed TO slow up, but as he made the
effort the horse gave a sudden leap
and Mr.. Lowndes fell heavily. The
horse stepped on his left arm, intlict-
ing the injury. He was deathly sick
at first but soon recovered and was
able to attend to business next day.

THE RIGHT TO BOAST.

In talk at the Confederate Daugh-
tiers convention in Charlotte Mrs. Vance
said Senator Vance often said that the
North Carolina generals were not ap-
preciated. Their bravery and skill and
service to their State and the Confeder-
acy were not kept fresh in the minds of
the people as they should be. The State
of North Carolina furnished one-fifth of
the men in the Confederate army; she
left more dead men on the field of bat
tie than any other State, and so many
of her generals were slain in battle that
she surely had a right to be proud of her
record. The time has come when we
should boast of our great part in the
