No sound working brain, says 0. W.
Holmes, without enough good blood to
build it, repair it, and furnish the mate
rails for those molecular changes which
are the conditions essential to all ner-
vous actions, intellectual and volitional,
as we'll as those of lower grades. No
good blood without a proper amount Of
proper food and air to furnish mate
rails, and healthy organs to reduce a
sufficient quantity of these materials to
a state fit to enter the circulation. No
healthy organs, strictly speaking, except
from healthy parents, and developed and
maintained by proper stimuli, nourish-
ment, and use. No healthy parents
no help for it. We are, of course, apply
ing the term healthy to the brain, as
signifying much more than freedom
from disease. A healthy brain should
show, by the outward signs of clear,
easily working intelligence, well-balanced
faculties, and commanding will, that its
several organs, if such there be, or its
several modes of action, if it works as q
whole, are properly developed and adj
iusted by themselves and in relation to
each other.

The German Law on Marriage.

A recent letter from Germany says:
The Parliament, after much labor, have
settled the details of the new marriage
law. Hitherto boy in Germany might
be married at sixteen and a girl at four
teen; hereafter the manageable age is
fixed at twenty for males and eighteen
for females. Until man is twenty-five
and woman is twenty-four, they can
not hereafter marry without the consent
of their parents; and this provision will
apply to illegitimate children as well as
those born in wedlock. Marriage is fol
hidden between brothers and sisters,
half-brothers and half-sisters, step
parents and step-children, parents-in-law
and children in-law, between an adopted
child and its parent by adoption, and be-
tween o person divorced for adultery and
his OF her partner in the crime. In the
last place, however, such marriages may
take place if dispensation can be OBJ
tanned from the judges. The new law
also DEGREES that call prescriptions
limiting the right of contracting mar
rage to less extent than is now author
lied by this law are abolished. This il
another blow at the Catholic church
and under the new law priest or nu1

Vinegar BitterS.

physician of California, has conferred a
priceless boon upon mankind, by the
introduction of q " Bitters' compounded
from herbs exclusively, which may be
truly said to be superseding all others,
and is becoming bitter dose indeed for
the charlatans and quacks, on account of
its immense sale and universal popular
ity. Not only are these Vinegar Bitters,
as he calls them, an invaluable tonic and
Alternative, but they are acknowledged as
a standard medicine, and the astonishing
rapidity with which they cure disease
hitherto declaredincurable, seems almost
incredible. After having been carefully
tested, they are kept on hand in thou
sands of households, and used for any
and every form of disease, many relying
upon them in preference to the most
celebrated physicians. They have be-
comea recognized "family remedy, and

A Great Lockout.

The London Times says: We have
received news from South Wales that
the threatened lockout has been en-
forced; that the GOLFERS of two entire
counties are already thrown out of work:
and that the men engaged upon the iron
trade will before long be compelled to
share their fate, unless, indeed, dispute
In which they are only indirectly con-
cerned is brought to an end very much
more speedily than we can now venture
to anticipate. The blow, our correspon-
dent tells us, has fallen with stunning
force, and those whom it has reached
can hardly yet realize the extent of the
disaster which has overtaken them.
No fewer than $1,000 golfers who had
submitted to work upon the terms die
tated to them by their employers have
all at once been thrown out of employ
ment, and they cannot hope to return to
1t rs long as any of their fellows con-
tihue obstinately in rebellion. 1t Will
not be long before the mischief will
spread further still, and will involve not
only the golfers, but those, too, whose
work depends upon the maintenance of
the supply of coal, and who, therefore,
when the existing stores of coal have
been used up, must wait until more can
be produced, and in the meanwhile will
earn no wages. There is, we fear, every
prospect that the battle which has
already been in progress for some time
will be contested with the utmost stub
bornness, and that the men will have
suffered terribly before either they or
their masters will consent to own them
selves beaten. We do not think there
lsmuch doubt to which side victory will
Mt last incline, but we are sure that it
will be gained only at cost which it is
SIMPLY frightful to contemplate. The
coal trade is not now as brisk as it has
been during the past few years. The
intelligence which reaches us from all
quarters points pretty uniformly in the
same direction, and we hear of a general
fall in prices, which seems to render it
impossible that the old rate of wages
can be kept up. We may expect, there
fore, that the men will at some time or
other be compelled to submit to the re-
duction which at present they resist; but
whether the interval will be long or short
we cannot certainly foresee. Those who
have commenced the struggle, and have,
we may presume, taken up their position
with a knowledge of all that it must en-
tail with it, will be by no means the
chief objects of pity. Such feeling we
may reserve for the large body of men
who will, by no choice of their own, be
the companions in the misfortunes of the
rest. The strike of one body of golfers
has been followed by a lockout of all
who are engaged in any way in the same
branch of industry.

while Il would only produce Sc, 10000
Mr. Banning, Of Ohio, opposed the bin, and
particularly the proposed increased tax on
whisky, which he thought would have the ef-
feet Of increasing smuggling and illicit distill-
ing, and 30 reduce the revenue. He stated
that the revenue Was greater when the tax was
20 cents q gallon, than when it was $500.
Mr.. Chittenden. OF New York. considered the
bill erroneous, and characterized the fifth sec
ton a. a bold and glazing fraud, like the 'lead
statue business.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, in his speech in
opposition to the bill, stated that the people Of
the country had paid 81, 600 zoo, 600 in taxes in
the past two years, which amounted to about
five per cent per annum on our whole taxable
valuation. lie quoted Gov. Tilden, of New
York. as his authority for saying that every
twenty years there is assessed for taxes a sum
equal to the entire assessed wealth of the
country.
In 1864 spirits were taxed twenty cents per
gallon, and the receipts were S2S, 43l 600 and
when yearlater the tax was increased to Sl.50,
the receipts fell oil to S10,00O,O00. In 1866
the tax was raised to $500, and the receipts
ran up to $29, 000 900, and in 1867, under the
same tax, dropped to S2S 000, 900, and in 1868
went down to Sl3, $4,000. Then the folly of
a high taxation was seen and the tax reduced
to fifty cents, and that year the receipts we're
doubled amounting TO $3.50, 2S5,O00. In 1870
the same tax gave SIS, 900, coo but rise to
seventy cents in 1871 gave but $50, 1000, 900.
Mr.. Niblack, of Indiana, had thought for
years that the tariff should be revised but
opposed this bill now, as he could not see the
need of increased taxation at this time.
Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky, thought that addi-
tional revenue was required but argued against
the increased tax Oh whisky and tobacco, and
denounced the whole bill as failure.
Mr.. Ward of Illinois, thought the increase
of tax ON whisky would be an injury TO legiti-
mate distillers, inasmuch as it would encourage
illicit dlstilling.
Mr.. Garfield wanted to tax whisky eighty-fve
cents per gallon.

The Gossip.

Beware of the gossip, no matter how
plausible his or her manner. The artis-
tic, accomplished gossip is great in as
serting his own innocence of intention.
He repudiates altogether the classified
ton which would include him in the
category of the slanderers-those con-
versational assassins against whom we
make special supplication; and, when he
is brought to book on the charge of
spreading abroad false reports and bear
ing his part in shying stones at his
neighbors' houses, answers demurely: 81
did not mean to do any harm; L only told
so and so to Mrs. This and That, and she
had no business to repeat it I" This
only telling SO and so is just the whole
burden of the mischief MIS-. This and
That is a great gossip as himself-as
much of sieve; and when two sleeves
are put together to hold water, how
much will be left for a thirsty soul to
drink by the end of summers day
And again, Mrs. This and That's promise
of secresy is no valid plea for condona-
ton. The thing we cannot keep for our
selves we have no right to expect others
will keep for us, and we only play
monkey tricks with our conscience when
wepretend to believe that every one else
is more trustworthy than ourselves.
