INTERMARRIAGE OF BLOOD RELATIONS
Prof. Richard Owen, of the Indiana State Uni
versity stated an important fact which cannot
be too widely disseminated, namely: That the
intermarriagc of blood relations is physlolo-
gical error, and he might almost say, with our
knowledge of such matters, Il crime. Speaking
from a close observation of this subject for
many years of all the families Of his acquain-
tance where close intcrmarriagc had been per-
mitted, the children were either deaf mutcS or
afflicted by some deficiency. He knew young
man whose fathcr WAS 4 physician, and who
should have known better than to marry Il
double cousin, but the consequences wa, as the
hast portion of the osscous system developed
the Young man, from the intcrmarriagc OF those
in whom the same material WAS deficient, was
prevented from having Il single tooth at amy
period. His sister had but two or three small
stubs of teeth, and their brother was altogether
deficient in his mental faculty. He insisted
that it was great crime for parents to ALLOW
their children to grow up with the idea that
they might ever intcrmarry with blood fcla-
tions. It should be 4 thing never to be thought
Of the intcrmarriagc which those connected 10y
ties of consanguinity.
Mr.. Ferguson knew of Il case in Ohio where
some thirty families had married and inter
married until they could no longer tell their
relationship Most of the progeny were deaf
mutes, and the remainder Il little above idlotlc.

News From Washington.

Washington, 23. An official report to the
Navy Department from Rear Admiral Sands,
superintendent of naval observation, states
that ON the evening of the 18th, Professors
Hardness and Hall succeeded in discovering
a spectrum of Enckes comet. 1t consists of
two bright bands in the green, each of which
the light was most intense in the middle of
the breadth of the band, and shaded off to-
wards each edge. Very satisfactory meas
ures were obtained of the broadcast and
brightest of the bands, and they gave for the
wave lengths of the light at its two edges
respectively 504- 100000 and 49S- 100000 OF
a mile in diameter. No signs of nucleus
were discovered and Prot. Hardness thinks
it may safely be inferred that the comet con-

Desirable Investments.
The New York Express saws:

"The6 per cent. gold bonds of the Government
are now either par or a premium IN gold, whiie
some of the first mortgages of the old railroads of
the country are selling at par in geld, and very
few of them as low par in currency. The adj
vance in Government Bonds OF late has brought
frst-class railway mortgages more than ever in IA
yor with investors, and everything certainly indi-
Gates that these securities TO be the great in
vestmtnts of the future. The gross earnings of all
the railroads of the United States for 1870, esti
mated at $4,000 600 and hence the security which
surrounds the first mortgage bonds Of railroads
generally. There have been occasional instances
of default in the payment of interest, but these
| cases so isolated that they are scarcely worth
mentioning. OF all the railroads in the world,
those OF America have been most punctnal in the
payment of interest on mortgage bonds. The CAPT
talists of Europe are awake to this fact, and the
drift of European capital into American railway
mortgages is steadily going on. Germany is likely
To want large amount of our Government bonds
and railway mortgages next year, which must have

The opportunity to secure them at this low
