In the Clinical Record Dr. Holland relates that one of his lady patients ence called on a ' psychometric healer'1 who greatly impressed her by his pre. science in telling ber she suffered from occasional headache and pain in the side due to the fact that her liver was bound back to her diaphragm. The lady thought that only a man qi diabolical insight could have discovered her symp toms without an examination and she hastened nervously to her physician. There she was informed that almost every woman patient a doctor has is a sufferer from headache and sideaehe, and that she would be in a bad way indeed if her liver were not anchored in the manner stated by the charlatan LOCALNEWS. ffioEX to hew AovcamEErs.

Our space will not permit us to pub lish the a !nnrable address of Mr. John S. Long, before the Ladies' Memorial Association at Oakdale yesterday, nil though we would, like much to do sr as it was a grand effort. Mr. Long is one of the most eloquent orators of North Carolina, and bis address yester day was a masterpiece. It was more it was an inspiration. Tho day was just cool enough for comfort, and it was taken advantage of by a large number of our citizens so that the attendance yesterday was j unusually large much larger than up on any recent precious occasion. Many ladies and geotlemen, with their child ren, started for the Cemetery long , be fore the hour appointed for the proces sion to move, in order to see the beau ties of the place at this charming season of the year, and also to obtain favora ble positions for seeing and hearing before the throng should arrive. The Marshals having charge of the Confed erate lot and adjacent groonds had taken especial care that there should be no confusion and as little discomfort and inconvenience as possible, and in this good work they were entirely success ful. All the exercises, as indicated in the published programme, were fully car ried out without any accident or hitch to cause annoying delay. The efficient chief marshal, with his corps of aids, deseryes much credit for the smoothness with which every part of the pro gramme was conducted. The instrumental music, by the Cor net Concert Ciub, was selected with much care, was entirely appropriate and was rendered in exquisite taste and with perfect precision. The Wilming ton Light Infantry, under the command of Capt. Morrison, did escort duty with full ranks and the drill, precision and soldierly bearing of the men received, as they deserved, the unqualified praise of the people. The volley firing vas as nearly perfect as possible. The vocal music was appropriate and was rendered with exquisite pathos by the accomplished choir who had volun" teered for the occasion, lho parts tendance. These all left on thi3 morn- were well balanced, the voices blended4ingVNorthertt bound train in perfect harmony and the effect was subdued, yet grand. The floral decorations were unusu. ally beautiful and attractive, besides being abundant in quality, and the work ot decorating the mound was one of the most impressive and touching exercises of the day. In this duty, which came more especially un der the charge and direction of the Ladies Memorial Association, there was a solemnity in paying tearful as well as floral tributes to the sacred memory of fallen heroes which deeply imprssed the assembled multitude. 1IEI.
