[yrom tho Baltimore Daily Sun, on the Sickses
tragedy

No married woman can be approached by
any man with undue profession of regard. or
Of affection. but with an instructive knowl-
edge Of his desigr. Not the slightest i'm
propriety, not the least indelicscy in word
or deed can be thrust upon her observation
without starting her honor and putting her
on guard. She is at once armed she has a
counsellor ever st.her side to direct her, and
champion to defend her-in true and hon
orsb.e husband. Hence the law esteems
her guilt at least equal to that Of the most
seductive and designing invader Of her hon
or, when she falls.
The married woman is arraysd in the
very panoply Of virtue and cannot be sur
prised. She can hardly be said to faN-she
steps aside of her own free will and Gins DE-
liberately, With these premises can there
be any difficulty in answering the question,
what man ought to do in the event sup
posed We cay just what many good and
true and honest man has done before, and
We could name shining example in the act
of one who we'll deserves the title Of hero
and philosopher.
He ne Their slew the man nor the woman.
He called the eFsiDg wife before him, and
babe her take whstever che sould rightfully
claim - her own, and leave him forever,
and then Alike the hero that he was and 10,
he pursued manfully the even tenor Of his
way. and all men homer him. This 10 what,
in our opinion, man ought to do.

CRANIoLoGY-A NEW SYSTEM.

Monsieur RETzIUs, Swedish ethnolo-
gisl, has devised and published new
system of craniology that gives some GU
rious statistics relative to the inhabitants
of different parts of the earth, and the
probable sources from whence emanated
the inhabitants of the more recently peo-
pied portions of terra frma. He divides
mankind into the oval headed and broad
or cubic headed. The oval heads include
all the Latin and German tribes of Eu-
rope, 157 100000 people. The Slavonic,
Magyar, Turkish and some Of the Roman
tribes of the south of Europe, embracing
115,O00,000 people, belong to the broad
heads. In Asia, the Chinese, Hindoos,
Arian Persians, Arabs, Jews and Lungu-
slams, 61O,o00,0oO, are oval heads; all
the rest, 100000, broad heads.
The estimate of America is based on
aborigines only. In regard to them The
opinion is advanced that from the Islands
around Behring's Strait, along the west
coast, including the Russian Colonies, Or
egon, Mexico, Eoaaior, PERU Bolivia,
..Ghiifh, Argentine, Patagonia and Fire Is
land, the population consists principally
of broad heads; while on the east coast,
from Canada downward, including the
United States, the Caribbean Islands, the
West Indies, Venezuela, Guiana, and Bra
I'll, the oval heads predominant. This
statement seems TO confirm Baron Hum
boldt's opinion that the west coast of
America was peopled from Asia. The
Aborigines now do not probably exceed
one million, all the rest are emigrants and
their descendants, including perhaps half
n million of broad heads-one half of the
Aborigines being oval heads; one million
is therefore the extent of the broad heads
of America, to fifty eight millions of oval
heads. In Australia, the broad and oval
heads are nearly equally divided, being
one million each. Where Monsieur r.
places nun'Jskulls and prmpkin-heads re-
port saith not.

THE FORTUNE OF WAR.

Sir Walter Scott, estimates that $4,000
persons were made widows, and 10000
orphans, at the great battle of Waterloo,
that decided the fate of Napoleon and of
Europe. But how many more must
have been placed in that desolate posi-
ton at the great battle of Salferino, fought
between the Allied and Austrian forces
on the oath June, when $4,000 soldiers
were placed horS de combat, and 1000
taken prisoners, whose fate may be yet
undecided. What philanthropist can con-
template seriously the sad picture of this
one conflict. Between the mighty ar
mics engaged in the hostilities on Italian
soil, and weigh as best he may, the sad
bereavements, also many firesides, once
joyous and happy, and the sudden exit
from the world of so many living, active
energetic spirits, without lamenting that
man should ever desire TO lift his hand
in deadly conflict against his fellow, and
offer his own body as target for some
well aimed rifle or more destructive fire
arms. Though we must confess our SYM
pathy is for down trodden Italy in her eff
fort to throw off the yoke Of despotism
and become free and Independent PEG.
pic after the example of our forefathers
of old, we can but hope for the speedy
dawn of that day, when nations shall
learn the art Of war no more, and the
sword and spear shall become instruments
or peaceful agriculture.

Attack ON the Judiciary of Ohio.

1t would be disgraceful stigma upon. our
form of government If the black republicans of
Ohio should succeed in the election next octo-
Der, ayowing, as they do, their purpose to have
a court which viii do their bidding and annul
the laws which they do not like. II would at
once show that republican government is but
little short of anarchy. With the example
before the world, Of the sacrifice Of Judge on
account Of decision which, it is admitted by oil,
was rendered in accordance with the dictates of
a sound and conscientious judgment, it would
demonstrate that there is no security in consti'
tutions, the most sacred of laws. 1t is a direct
assault upon the Independence Of the judiciary
which tends TO the subversion Of all order. In
culcating the pestferous notion that there is a
shorter way to change the organic law, than
through the means that have heretofore accom-
plished such changes, it should inspire every
lover of republican government with fears for
their safety. The Legitimate business of the
courts is TO expound the meaning of law, and the
Judges are supposed to do this without regard
their likes or dislikes of the law. Black repub-
licans, however, propose to have Court that
will at least unmake such laws as do not comport
with their indefinite higher law notions. II
they may do this, they may dc much moro that
will end in setting up a tyrant to issue edicts
without regard to the wishes Of the people,
This is tho tendency Of the doctrines of that
party which first organized to make powerful
central government Adrian Watchtower.
