THE JONES MURDER.-rhere are various pre-.
dlctlons atioat concerning what will he done
TO think, that from the tone OF the defence and
the sympathy it is receiving, that though the
law should be permitted TO have It's Course--in
short that the case should not be settled other
than bv q due course of law-yet the most
healthy disposition which could have been
made Of it, would have been one Of those sudden
court.martial trials winch some OF us have
knowledge Of and which would not only ended
the question at once but also sent thrill OF
terror TO the centre OF the combination which
has occasiOned these massacres IL Ia by no
means certain that through bubbles and tech.
nlcailtles these fellows VIII get clear-be turned
out upon the world to repeat theic crime. II
this should be the case-it may be well enough
to observe now-the law will not be given an.
other opportunity TO play farce with muiderers.

Aged Beauties.

History is full of the accounts of the
fascination of women who were no long
er young. Thus Helen of Troy was forty
when she perpetrated the most famous
elopement on record, and as the siege of
Troy lasted decade, she could not have
been very juvenile when the ill-fortune
OF Paris restored her to her husband,
who is reported to have received her
with unquestioning love and gratitude.
Pericles welded the courtesan Aspasia
when she was thirty-six, and yet she. af-
terward, for thirty years or more, welded
an undiminished reputation for beauty
Cleopatra was past thirty when Antony
fell under her spell, which never lessened
until her death, nearly ten years after;
and Livia was thirty three when she won
the heart OF Augustus, over whom she
maintained her ascendency to the last
Turning to more modern history, where
it is possible to verify dates more accu-
rately, we have the extraordinary Diane
de Poitiers, who was thirty-six when
Henry III. (then Duke of Orleans, and
just half her age) became attached to her;
and she was held as the first lady and most
riod of the monarch's death and
the accession to power of Cathe-
rine de Medicis. Anne of Aus
tria was thirty EIGHT when she was de-
scribed as the handsomest queen of
Europe, and when Buckingham and
Richelieu were her jealous admirers,
Ninon de PEnclos, the most celebrated
wit and beauty of her day, was the idol
of three generations of the golden youth
of France, and she was eventy-two when
the Able de Berais fell in love with her.
True is it that in the case Of this lady a
rare combination of culture, talents, and
personal attractions endowed their pos
SCISSOR seemingly with the gifts of eter-
nal youth. Blanca Capello was thirty
eight when the Grand Duke Francisco
of Florence fell captive to her charms,
and made her his wife, though he was
five years her junior. Louis XIV. we'd
ded Nine. de Maintenon when she was
forty-three years of age. Catherine Ii.
of Russia was thirty three when she
seized the empire of Russia and captiva-
ted the dashing young General Orloff.
Up to the time of her death Cat sixty
seven) she seemed to have retained the
same bewitching powers, for the lamen-
tations were heartfelt among all those
who had ever known her personally.
Mile. Mars, the celebrated French ira
geuienne, only attained the zenith Of
her beauty and power between forty
and forty-tive. At that period the love
liness of her hands and arms especially
was celebrated throughout Europe. The
famous Nine. Recamier was thirty
eight when Barras was ousted from
power, and she was without dispute de-
clared to be the most beautiful woman
in Europe, which rank she held for fifteen
years. Pictorial World.

Marriage and Longevity.

In his recently published 'EStudy of
Sociology" Mr.. Herbert Spencer assails
a theory that has long been current with
regard to marriage and longevity. That
married life is favorable to longevity has
generally been regarded as satisfactorily
proved by numerous statistics, showing,
almost without exception, a greater lon
gevity on the part of the married When
the ratio of deaths in the two classes
stands at ten to four, and even twenty to
four, there would appear to be little
room for doubt. But to this astute So
cial scientist the evidence, strong as it
seems, furnishes no warrant for the cur
rent belief. He regards the case as a
substitution OF cause for effect III other
words, greater longevity is not the con-
sequence of marriage ON the contrary,
marriages are clearly traceable to in
fluences favoring longevity. The princi-
pies of natural selection work so strongly
in deciding between the Benedicts and
the bachelors, that the long ivers are
drawn to the former and the short hYers
to the latter. Marriage, Nr. Spencer
holds, is regulated by the ability to meet
it's responsibilities. The qualities which
give the advantage here are intellectual
and bodily Yigor, prudence and self
control these, too, are the qualities
which determine prolonged life or a
premature death. An even more direct
relation is to be found in the instincts
which lead most strongly to marriage.
The reproductive instincts and emotions
are strong in proportion as the surplus
vital energy is great, and this in turn i'm
plies an organization likely to last g so
that, in fact, the superiority of physique,
which is accompanied by strength Of the
instincts and emotions causing marriage,
is a superiority of physique also con
ducive of longevity. Another influence
tells in the same direction. Marriage is
determined by the preference of women
as well as the desires Of men, and, other
things being equal, women are attracted
toward men Of physical and intellectual
power, refusing the malformed, diseased
and ill-developed types. In the opera
ton Of these three elements Mr.. Spencer
finds all that is needed to account for the
striking difference of longevity between
the classes, and declares that ''the figures
given afford no proof that marriage and
longevity are cause and consequence
but they simply verify the inference
which might be drawn priOri- that
marriage and longevity are concomitant
results of the same cause. r" -L0ndOn
