The Republican Congressional Convention in
the 3D. Maryland distric. Baltimore nominated
Thursday, Washington Booth, Esq. General
A. H. King naiuel him, and Stockton Matthews
seconded the notion Everything was peaceful
and lovely, The Baltimore SIN says
" Mr.. Booth is a member of the well known
shipping firm of Fitzgerald, Booth Il Co.. and is
gentleman much esteemed in the busir O ~
community. lIo is at present the president of
the Baltimore ard Savannah Steamship Com
pany he il largely Interested in other we'll known
lines, retains prominent interest in tho trade
and shipping of the port. and is the ownor of
some five vessels now active engaged in COM
merce. Mr. Booths nomination is probably
owing moro to his high personal character, be-
nevolence, energy and availability, than to any
mere political party services"

Mr.. coursey, the Republican candidate for
Governor, has been, we regret to state, confined
to the house, by illness, for the past two weeks,
and this misfortune has prevented him from
mingling with his fellow citizens as both he and
they desired. A note from member Of his
family, however, states that he is now much inn
proved, and it is hoped that in short time he
will be able to circulate among his friends. We
trust that this expectation will be realized, and
that Mr. Coulsey's naturally strong constitution
and robust health will resume their habitual tone.

We are told on good authority that Colonel H.
S. Mccomb has, within the past two weeks,
ordered 100000 worth of machinery of various
concerns in this city, for the railroad enterprises
controlled by him. Such course is, doubtless,
wise from business point Of view, else so sue
cessful business man would not adopt it, and
at the same time it is calculated to greatly
enhance the Colonel's popularity with our manu-
facturers and mechanics.

CHEERFUL PEoPLE.-God bless the cheerful
people-man, woman or child, old or young, IL
literate or educated, handsome or homey.
Over and above every other social trait stands
cheerfulness. What sun is to nature-what
God is to the stricken heart which knows how
to lean upon Him-are cheerful persons in the
house and by the wayside They go unobtru-
sively, unconsciously, about their silent mission
Frightening up society around them with the
happiness beaming from their faces. We love to
sit near them we love the expression of their
eye, the tone of their voice. Little children
find them out, oh so quickly, amid the densest
compressed lip, glide near, and lay a confding
little hand on their knee, lift their clear young
eyes to those loving faces.

FISH AND MEAT.-It has been said that fish
food is adapted to thinkers, because, having
more phosphorous, it is peculiarly adapted to
feed the brain it is not as nutritious as poultry
or beef but it is quite as heathful:
1t is not wise to eat by rules made in the
chemical laboratory, or In the study of the phil
osopher, Almighty wisdom has placed the pre-
seryation and development of the species as he
has that of the sex, beyond human ken, and has
implanted within us certain uncomfortable In
stincts, which prompt us to live and move, and
sustain our beings with a greater wisdom than
could be hoped from mortal agencies, compre-
hended in the single dctation, " Eat what you
feel like"-that is, partake in moderation OF
what is most palatable to you but it, in rare
cases it is found that what you are most fond OF
is followed by disagreeable results gracefully
yield to nature, avoid it for while at least, and
you will find that what does not agree with you
to-day, may be actually beneficial next month or
next year.-HaA's Journal Of Health.

MARRIAGES OF CoNsANGUNITY. TY.-The Aechi0eS
de Ia Medicine NaUaL of France contains a curl
Gus scrap of information respecting marriages of
consanguinity in the black race:
" In l849 there died at Wdah in the kingdom
of Dahomey, a Portuguese trader named da Souza,
well-known to all the navigators who have
visited the western coast of Africa. lie was an
important parsonage in the country, which he
had inhabited many years, and had made an inn
mense fortune by trading with the negroes. On
his death he left behind him number of chill
dren, the issue of four hundred women kept in
his harem The political policy of the kings OF
Dahomey being hostile to the establishment OF
mixed race, the numerous progeny of da Souza
were shut up in an enclosure by themselves un-
der the government of one of the sons. Here,
subjected to the surveillance of the agents of the
king-the most despotic of all the monarchs of
the earth-these metis (people of mixed blood)
could unite in marriage only among themselves
in other words, they live in the most shame
less promiscuity.
In 1868, they counted children of the third
generation. The color of their skin was return
ing rapidly to deep black though all of them
preserved some traits of their European ancestor
Among all defendants of da Souza-we are able
to state this from personal Notwithstanding
among themselves unions at once the closest in
relationship and the most monstrous, there are
neither deaf mutes nor blind nor cretins (idiots)
nor feeble or defofmed from birth"

say that the patent laws do not materially bene-

entitled to be considered as inventors This of
