A Promising Marksman.

On the oath of July James Ives, g
member of the Ogdensburg Rifle Club:
shot one string each at 800, 900, and 1000
yards, making a score Of PIG out of a
possible 225. On the I'd day Of August
he shot string of fifteen shots, 800 yards
making a score of seventy-fve, or fifteen
consecutive bulls-eyes.- On the. 8th Of
August he made another fifteen conse-
cutive bulls-eyes at 900 yards. Since
that date he has shot two strings at / ,000
yards, making @seventy-one IN each
string. This is all the shooting he has
done between and including the Oath of
July and the 10th ofrAuglst,5 and max
ing grand total of sos points out of a
possible 525:a On the 10Th O. F. Part
ridge, Secretary of the Ogdensburg Rifle
Club, received letter from New York
inquiring if the reported score of Ives
was correct, and if SO asking him to tel
egraph them. The answer was sent
that the score was correctly reported.
Mr.. Ives is bookeeper in the Judson
Bank in this city, and this performance
indicates that he is one ofthe most skill
ful marksmen in the world. It is believ-
ed no other person can show SO large a
score in the same number of Shots

Meadow massacre; the Jealous: manner
in which, under, promise of military
support if it is required, Sumner
Howard is tracing outevielenee to con-

of too many Gentiles into Utah, have
all contributed to their alarm. 1t looks
as if they were anxious to take another

agents at Sinaloa, Mexico, to purchase
large tracts of lands to be colonized
and the settlement made by Mormon
community in Ures, State of Sonora,
indicate as much The situation is

Marriage of Relatives.

There is a good deal of confusion in
the minds Of .physiologists touching the
effects of intermarriages between rela-
tives In the plant and animal creation
Lit is. noticed that nterbreeding generally
Ihas good results, and it is very certain
that my som g. Gases = the nfa41iage of
cousins results happily in the matter of
offspring among the human species. 1t
is, however, quite true that in the ma
|iority of cases the offspring of children
of cousins are defective, and public
opinion in consequence declares against
Esuch uniens. EsIhis topic lis again being
Fdisc,issedaen account of the following
statement (which has been widely pub
lished, touching the cele brated natural
ist, Darwin: So

eldest, SON, William Darwin, is a banker

now a fellow of Trinity; the third Frank,

ing Of either m EN- Or animalsseenls. to be
this: Strong and robust parents, If of
allied bloods, are likely to have children
in every way superior to their progeni-
tors, while weakly or diseased parents.
if cousins, are almost certain to have
defective offspring. In other words,
nature in the intermingling of allied
bloods, mtensifes the ruling regularity,
whether it be strength or weakness. The
bulk of mankind is imperfectly bred,
and, as q consequence. the: children of
people allied in blood are liable to be
insane, blind, deaf, crippled, or in some
way diseased. When, however, as seems
to be the case with the Darwin family,
parents are exceptionally healthy, or
robust, the offspring is benefited by the
union. 1t will be remembered that in
the ancient world brothers and sisters
intermarried, and long line of Egyptian
and Persian kings were the offsprings Of
the members of the same family. Cleo
patra, "the Jeweled Serpent of Old Nile,"
was the daughter of a brother and sister
who were the children of a brother and
sister. The subject OF the marriage of
cousins is receiving a good deal of at
tentlon in anthropological circles at
present, and is destined toreceive much
more.
