ID. A. WEBER, Tax Collector of
West Feliciana, and editor of the
Bayou Sara Ledger, was shot, on the
7th inst, and instantly killed, as he
was passing the Court House. In
connection with this homicide it is
stated that Weber, for the past few
days had been walking the streets
armed with a shotgun and in a def
ant way threatening many citizens.
He is the brother Of E. L. Weber, a
member of Packard's Senate. He
was native of this State, born near
Donalsonville, and was thirty two
years of age. Governor Nichols has
offered a reward of i've thousand dol

The bill now before the Michi-
gan Legislature prohibitin. the mar
ria Of first cousins in that State ex-
cites the apprehension OF some we'll
meaning persons who fear that its
operation will affect persons so rela.
ted now living in woalock. This ap
prehension is groundless. The ex.
pediency of the law is disputed by
many Of the Michigan editors, who
maintain that marriages Of this ma.
ture, however advised, do not
properly demand any interference on
the part of the Government. If il
can be proved, however, that the
marriage of first cousins causes any
perceptible increase in the number
of helpless persons supported in pub
lie charitable institutions, there vii
be a strong argument in favor of thu
bill. Popular sentiment seems to b.
on the side of its enactment into +.
law.

LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW.

The London Quarterly Review for

Leonard Scott Publishing Co., Al
Barclay Street, New York.
I. "Wolsey and the Divorce OF
Henry VIII" A review of MIR.
Brewers collection of letters and pa
pers bearing upon the divorce of
Henry VIII, and the latter years of
Cardinal Wolsey's life. Much light
is thrown upon the subject, and the
work is considered unusually COM
plete.
II. "Old Morse Mirror Of Men and
Manners" The Kings Mirror is
supposed to have been written in
Norway, in the twelfth century. 1t
is in the form Of conversation be
tween father and son, and contains
much curious information and adj
vice about trade, physical science,
court life and etiquette, and sundry
other matters.
III. CDR. Carpenters Mental Ply
siology.' DR.. Carpenter regards
the causative power of the human
will, and the self-determined condi-
ton of the individual man in the ex
ercise Of it, as primary facts OF
which we have the complete evidence
in our own consciousness; but still
he accepts, with certain limitations,
the doctrines which the pGysiologi-
cal school urges as incompatible
with such a view.
