should Persons with Consumn,iye
Tendencies Marry.
BY DIR. HENRY I. BowDIrCI

BY DIR. HENRY T. BowDIrCH
More than thirty years ago, we were
consulted by young man, who frankly
confessed that he believed he had disease
of the lungs, and he asked us to say
whether or not he could rightly be mar
ried to an excellent young person to whom
he had been for years engaged. We
found that his opinion was correct. that
decided disease of one lung existed, but it
was not at that time in an active state.
We found, however, at the same time,
that an adverse opinion on our part would
forever shatter the hopes of two lovers
who had been for years devoted to one
another. There was not an argument
save this local disease which we could
bring against the idea of marriage. We
will not attempt 20 indicate the reasoning
whereby we Came to the decision that we
ought not, by any motion of our own, TO
prevent the union. Ten or twelve years
ofsweetest married life were the result.
and then the husband died oflung disease.
But exactly what the youth feared came
to pass, namely, one Of his children died
in very earliest infancy, and the other at
the age of twenty,-both of consumption.
The latter was particularly interesting to
US. He seemed TO be in perfect health.
On arrival at an age TO commence bust
ness, all his aptecedents and his hereditary
tendencies were forgotten, Instead of
avoiding all excitants to consumption, he
was allowed to settle on the borders of
lake in lerge Western city, and there TO
become clerk to corporation doing an
extensive business, by which he was very
much confined TO his desk and over-work-
ed, AS we have seen in the previous
paper, he should of all things have avoided
just such location and that employment,
he should have sought for an active
out-of-door life if possible, in some dry IN
land town. After he had been aborinc
at his desk, however, a comparatively
short time, we were summoned only to
find him past all relief In Il few months
he died with quick consumption.
In the above case we deemed ourselves
justified in allowing the marriage to be
consummated, because, as may be stated
generally, we were not sure that the dis,
ease would progress, and there was a
chance Of the husbands getting well, and
there was no certainty that children would
be born. But there are cases every day
arising in which it seems almost madness
for either party to think of marriage, -
cases in which death seems iorshadowed
with the certainty OF almost absolute fate.
In many OF such, parents and physicians
alike should protest--ATLANTIC MoNru-

pair during Mr.. Howard lifetime. The
widow deposed that her husband kept the
marriage secret because he was in great
pecuniary difficulties and afraid of his
creditors. When asked why certain
doctor had been engaged to attend her in
her confinement, she replied that her hus-
band had engaged him, and had prom
ised him 100000 if he would keep the
birth Of the child secret for time. The
Committee of Privileges was evidently
not prepared to give implicit credence to
this story, and the lady was Intercepted
in particularly searching manner. The
solicitor for the Wicklow family deposed
that detectives had been employed to
watch her, at the instigation Of her hus-
band, with view to obtain evidence for
divorce.
1t is conceded that, il the child pro-
duced before the House was born in 1864,
and was the fruit of the marriage of Mr..
and Mrs. Howard, he is the lawful Earl
of Wicklow. OF course, the strong legal
presumption is that child born in we'd
lock is legitimate and this presumption
cannot be rebutted without powerful pos
tive testimony.
Sir John Coleridge, the counsel for the
little claimant, adverted to the peculiar
difficulties which beset the case. Mrs.
Howard was not we'll born, and she was
naturally exposed to the dislike and en-
nifty of noble family, who must have
strongly disapproved of the alliance. Her
husband was selfish prohigate, who had |
for years pursued vagsbond, disrep-
utable career, leaving the wife to for |
lorn, frendless life. There were, how.
ever, letters extant which showed that
the marriage had been at first one of
affection; and this view was strongly
corroborated by Mr.. Howards will, made
in 1864, the year of the child's birth.
The document had been carefully pre-
pared by solicitor, and was entirely in
the wife's favor. The obvious inference
was that the employment of detectives to
watch Mrs. Howard and collect proofs of
her supposed delinquency could not have
had her husbands sanction.
While the investigation is thickly beset
with difficulties, it involves questions
WHICH are of the utmost interest to the
whole country since they bear on the law
of evidence and succession, and on the
very constitution of the peersge. At
present it would be idle to attempt any
opinion on the controversy but it lies
before q tribunal pre-eminently qualified
to solve even those dark and intricate
problems with spotless impartiality and
the highest judicial skill.

pACK.DowN OrTHE BANNER.

Our Nashville jackass is disposed to
kick against the pricks, and brays most
piteously over the castigation received
from all parts of the country. The new
party move has proved failure, and the
editor of the Banner, like Peter denying
his Lord, swears be never knew any party
by the name of Liberal. That is deci-
dedy rich, and, we must say, very rare.
This is the language of that sheet of the
10th instant:
THE LIBERALS IN PewER The article
which we copy on another page OF this
issue, from the Memphis Avalanche
upon the subject of the Liberal party of
Virginia and Tennessee, embodies our
own views entirely. We like the name,
too, under which the needed reforms are
proposed to be achieved and our
car of progress be drawn out from
the old ruts of the past. Indeed, if we
mistake not, the name originated with
ourselves, some months since, in refer
ring to the struggle in Virginia, and we
NAV have to contest the claim OF our
contemporary to the credit of having sug-
gested it first. We claim to be Liberals,
in every sense of the word, and prefer
to work in the interest of a Liberal party
to that of any other. The success of a
liberal policy in the States insures for It
a brilliant and prosperous future. which
the pursuit of an opposite policy would
certainly prevent We have no need to
look to parties in the North for our po'
ltical guidance. They are already be-
ginning to follow in our wake.
Rnt listen, all We gods, what this same
sheet Gays on the 2lst inst:
The assertion cr inainpation, from
whatever source it emanates, that the
Banner desired, suggested, or even limited
at third party, is false.
This is square baeksdown, which
rivals even our Avalanche contemporary
in its rapid change of front. Our motto
is to stand To the rack, fodder or no fod-
der. But the wooliy-headed Banner
must know q thing will prove popular
before it can long indorse it. SO the

burning senator pomeroy I'm rmry.

r. W.
The ST. Joseph (Mo.) Herald gives
the following account of the burning of
Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, in effigy, at
Jacksonville on the 28th ult
At the hour named vast crowd filled
the square, in the center of which the
effigy, wreathcd with bean-yines, was
suspended from high post. AS soon as
the deafening cheers of the crowd could
be hushed, DR.. Moore, Of Monmouth,
made a brief address, in which he stated
that, as Senator Pomeroy had abused the
trusts reposed in him by the people of
Kansas, by sacrificing their interests TO
the greed Of monopoists and speoula-
tors, and further, by many dishonest
aots, had rendered his name disgrace
and reproach to the State, the citizens of
Southern Kansas would there attest their
detestation of his course by publicly
burning him in effigy.
c. D. Sayre, Esq, OF Girard, followed,
giving short and concise account of
Senator Psmeroys course since he be-
came resident Of Kansas, and detailing
some of the acts of dishonesty whereby
large fortune was acquired in such a
limited tima
At the close Of his address circle was
cleared about the effigy, and, amid the
loud groans Of the hundreds present, the
match was applied. A bright fame shot
up, brilliantly lighting the square, and
showing with great distinctness the stern
faces Of the " bloody lesguers," gathered
around to attest in this manner their
hatred of corruption in high places. The
fire soon destroyed the burly legs Of the
recreant Senator, consuming his spacious
abdomen, and was toying with the bean
vine wreath around his neck, when sud
denly an explosion occurred, and the
remains Of the efigy were whirIing in the
air, in burning fragments. "a bean has
busted" yelled some one, but it was
learned afterward that it was pound of
powder that had been stuffed in the
figure.

fragments, that all might be consumed,
