To any one who hai studied the laws of
life, and especially those which relate to
reproduction, an experience such as we
ARE about to relate, will come with special
force and interest. The transmission Of
rtain mental traits OF prominence, and
of certain physical traits Of equal promi-
nehce, are facts which all acknowledge,
but which none can understand. The a.,
ther may be nguished-the son, an
lmbeCiie; or, the parent may. be deerepit
and unknown, and the child achieve the
highest place possible to humanity. But
through 1t, al, tn. re will be certain charac-
terist.cs, which mark tie Individual as de-
scending from certain ancestors. Too
often, indeed, these characteristics are in
hl1nities. and o. ten of physical nature.
These facts were strikingly brought out
during conversation, which representI-
tive OF this paper recently had with IL S.
