Why Cousins should mt Ma,ry.-In
In the Annual Report of the Superin-
tendent of the Kentucky institution for
the Deaf and Dumb we find the follow
ing conclusive argument against the
marriage of cousins
From ten to twenty per cent of deaf
mutes are the children of cousins. 1t is
greatly to be reg, cited that the bill for
bidding the marriage of first cousins did
not pass the recent Legislature. These
marriages are a violation of a law of ma
ture, as is evinced by the affections vis-
tied III almost every case upon their off
spring, in deafness, blindness and IDIOT
cy, and ought to be violation of human
law also. The Commonwealth has the
clear right to protect itself against these
ll-starred matches, whose offspring it
has to sustain too frequently for life. 1t
may be hoped that this important sub
ject will not escape the action of our
Legislators many years longer. 1t is
confidently believed that by forbidding
marriages of this kind, and by proper
attention and care of infants laboring
under the diseases stated, the number of
deaf mutes in the community might be
diminished onehalf in generation.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELS
A robbery. which rivals the famous Ell
lesmore jewel plunder. and will even
bear comparison with IL at just effected
by Hanover, has just taken place in
Paris; the victim is Russian lady, the
Countess Illinska, residing in the Rue
Richepanse, 13. 1t appears that the
Countess, whose husband occupies the
position of Senator at the Court of Rus
sia, lately stopped at Lyons for few
days, when on her way to Paris. with
her two daughters, from Switzerland and
Italy At the hotel at which she put up
at Lyons. one of the porters was partic-
ularly active and obligirg; and on the
Countess's departure she yielded to his
solicitations, and received him into her
service. He proved in Paris very at
tentive person, and everything went
well until a few evenings back, when
The femme de chambre of the Countess
came to announce to her mistress that a
box of plate containing forks and other
small articles had disappeared, and tn At
there were no spoons for tea. On all
inquiry being instituted, it was ascer-
tanned that not only was the box gone,
but likewise the servant brought from
Lyons, and that with him had disappear
ed a mahogany case containing the
Countesss jewels. The plate was for
tunately only electro, having been pur-
chased merely to serve the tour, but the
jewels were worth between SG0,000f
and 90O,OOOf and had always been re-
markable at the Court Of St. Petersburg
for their beauty.
When the robbery was discovered,
it was remembered that few days be-
fore, other property Of certain value,
though nothing in comparison with what
has just been lost, had been taken from
the apartment A friend of the Count
ess, in passing through Paris, had re-
mained two or three days on visit with
her, and having gone out to make pur-
chases, without taking the precaution of
locking her trunks, found on her return,
that several dresses, a quantity of fine
lace and some petty articles of jewelry,
had been taken. The name of the thief
is Henri Hollis, meautooking man of
nearl y forty years of age, speaking Ger
man. French and English. A reward
has been offered FIR his apprehension,
but. hitherto, all the re earches of the
police have proved fruitleSs.

JUDGE DooLY AND THE LANDLORD.
l-Harper's Magazine has correspond
ent in Georeia who overfows in good
things. He gets off the following anec-
dote:
Judge Dooly, an eminent jurist in
Georgia forty years ago, was great
wag as well as great Judge-witty as
well as wise. His gravity gave effect
even to his jokes, and these were more
frequent than his decisions. One of
his fancies was to stake people own
who were in the habit Of exaggerating.
The way he used up Austin Edwards.
keeper of the hotel at Elberton, is a
caution to all story-tellers, of whom
Austin was the prince. He always told
the whole truth, and more. ut was
material" he said, "he liked uncommon
things better than common ones-'twas
"a heap more amusin', anyhow. One
morning, at breakfast, this long bow
landlord had been relating one of his
extraordinary yarns, and Judge Dooly
being at the hotel, and listening to the
story, sat in solemn silence until it was
over, and then remarked that he had an
awful dream in the night and was very
much depressed this morning The
landlord was awake in moment, and
begged the Judge, if it would be no vio-
lence to his feelings, to relate the dream,
as all would like to hear it. The Judge
still declined, as it might hurt the feel
ings of others.
"Oh, do tell it, Judge-we must have
it, urged the landlord, and the company
joining in. the Judge proceeded as if
he were about to sentence a criminal to
be hung:
"Well, l dreamed last night two
lawyers and myself had retired to pri-
vatc room to divide among us a fee re-
ceived from a hard case, which had been
carried through with a mighty deal of
lying on all hands. While we were set
Ting TIE division, in steps the devil, who,
without any formalities, said he had
come for us-we had told lies enough,
and if he left us any longer We might re-
pent, and 50 he'd lose us. We did our
best to persuade him tc let US off, but
he was inexorable, till at last | ventured
to ask if he would take substitute.
Whom do you offer e. he asked.
Austin Edwards" l said, "keeper of
the Elberton Hotel"
Good he'll do" said he, "send him
down. I'll take him for all three of
you'll
The table was in roar, and the land
lord was cured, for time at least, of
his habits of overdrawing. He passed
away years since. and Judge Dooly is
gone, too, so there is no harm done in
telling the story.

A RUSSIAN BABY.-In the life of a
Russian peasant there is a period ante
rior to all tunics, mantles, and even
sheep skins, during which they lead a
kind of mummy life, only unlike the
Egyptian, it is the first instead of the
last stage of their existence for the
youngest children are always swaddled
and rolled up tight in bandakes. so that
they may be conveniently put away
without risk If getting themselves into
mischief or danger. On entering one of
their houses, an enthusiastic trave er
thinks he has come upon some pagan
tribe, having their idols and penates,
with the heads well carved out, and the
rest of the body left in block. He looks
curiously at ole laid up on shelf, anoth-
er hung to the wall on peg, third
slung over one of the main beams of the
roof, and rocked by the mother, who has
the cord looped over her foot. "Why
that is child - cries the traveller with
a feeling similar to that experienced on
treading toad which was supposed TO
be stone. "Why, what else should it
be p answers the mother. Having
learned so much in so short time, the
iaqusitive traveller wishes to inform him
self about the habits of the creature :;
but his curiosity being somewhat damp
ened by the extreme dirt of the little
figure, he enquiries of the parent when it
is washed. washed !" shrieks the hor-
riied mother, washed what, wash
child You would kill it." Discour-
aged alike from personal investigation of
the subject, and from inquiry, he turns
to the elder children. When freed from
its bandases, the child's education be-
gins at once, and is wholly of "a practi-
cal character. He-or she, for it is the
same with both sexes-makes his first
struggles in life by foundering in the
Sand or mud in front of the house, clad
in coarse, ragged shirt, and nothing
else. Being taught by stern experience
to shun, if possible, the Charybdis of
mud, he falls upon Scylla, in the shape
of a lean, long-legged pig, which is al
ways prowling about on the chance of
something to eat. Looking upon an oc-
casional tumble as one of the natural
evils of life, and therefore bearing no
malice against his heavy and sometimes
inconvenient companion, he begins to
initiate the pertinacious diligence with
which that animal takes everything in
to his mouth, rejecting only what is alb
solutely impossible. Having SO far fin
ished his education as to distinguish be-
tween the evil and the good, in matters
of .he palate at least, he is promoted to
the privilege of the family meals of
black bread and 'stchi," or cabbage
soup, and to the dignity of an old sheep
skin.

FEARFUL AccIDENT-A HORSE DRAGGING
A DEAD BoDY THREE WEEKS. Fairly in
August, John Rawle, lad of l6 years,
living in Volcano, Anlador county, Cal,
who had vainly been endeavoring to obtain
his fathers consent TO go to Frazer River,
disappeared, taking with him a valuable
horse belonging to the family. 1t was sup
posed he had started for Frazer River, and
so little anxiety was felt ia regard to him.
On the 18th of August his body was found
in the Butte Ditch, few miles east of
jackson, attached by "lariap to half
dead horse. From appearances, the boy,
on the night after leaving home, lay down
to sleep, with the horse tied to his person,
TO prevent his escape The animal, becom-
ing unnlanageable through fright during
the night, had run of, and dragged his
master by the rope until the boys life was
extinct. Afterwards the horse had con-
tinued to Craze around, dragged the body
along for three weeks. Finally, the corpse
had been dragged into ditch, where it
became entangled beyond the horses
strength to extricate it. In his efforts to
pull loose, the horse had cut his neck to
the bone with the rope. The boys remains
were horribly mutilated Most Of his limbs
were broken and the Aesh rubbed bare from
the bone
