There - good deal Of confusion in
the minds Of Psychologists touching
the effects Of intermarriages between |
relatives. In the plant and animal
creation II is noticed that inierbree,l- |
ing generally has good results. and it
is very certain that in some cases the
marriage Of cousins results happily in
the matter Of offspring among the hu-
man species. Il j., however, quite
true that in the majority Of cases the
offspring Of children Of cousins are
defective, an'l public opinion in conse-
quencc declares against such unions.
This topic is again leing discussed "n

APOLITICAL STRAW.

1t is a significant indication of the
direction Of public sentiment to find
Mr.. Stanley Mathews busily engaged
in Ohio in defending Mr.. Hayes title to
the presidency. 1t is the first time in
American history that such a duty
was imposed upon a politician. 1t is
probably not too much to say. that it is
the first time that an American citi-
zen. sufficiently eminent to be thought
of in connection with the presi-
dency, could have been induced to &C
cept the questionable honor Of a posi-
lion which more than two-thirds OF
his countrymen believe. was de'iber-
ately rsvished from the custody of its
proper incumbent. But this fact does
not appear to concern Mr.. Mathews
at all. He goes before the people Of
Ohio on his self raised issue, much rs
an ordinary attorney would before a
jury where the question involved a
right to personal property. He as
sumes, which is utterly untrue. that
the Democratic party is making q
special issue out of the exceptional
circumstances under which Mr.. Hayes
achieved "the rape Of the presidency :"
and having erected this man of straw,
filings full in his face the wonderful
he constructed for the bene-
ct of the electoral commission. As
suming, possibly with good show Of
reasou, that the rural Buckeyes had
never had the pleasure Of reading in
the papers that remarkable speech at
the time of its delivery, he converts
himself into an oratorical pile driver
and rams it home to them at their
gatherings. Indeed 90 sensi-
i've is Mr.. Mathews on this imaginary
issue, that about two-thirds of his
speech is taken up in demonstrating
70 his own satisfaction and the polite
:redulty Of his listeners, that Mr..
Hayes was just as good a. be should
be, and If he stole the presidency, be
lid nothing more than Mr.. Mathews

From, the BOSTON Transcript.
Patrons Of the Boston and Albany
raiiroad have been mysti6ed the past
few days by the strange demeanor Of
the conductors and officers toward
each other. At the same time much
curiosity has been excited at the
abundance Of white neck-ties. 1t ap

Of an organization known ~ the
"White Necktie Association" Its
name is significant Of its object. Its
membership embraces nearly all the

many honorary members. The initia-
