The Law of sex.

An English author, G.. r. Stark
weather, thinks he has discovered a
great claw of SEX" of which the Lon
don Athen@um gives this summary:
Ii the husband is superior TO the wife |
the family will consist mostly of girls,
and vice versa Dark complexion is
superior to light, dark plants and
trees are the most hardy, and dark
horses the best. A square forehead
and prominent veins are superior"
large prominent eye (which Indicates
conversational powers is the reverse.
But the best indication of superiority
is large and prominent nose, Roman
or aquiIine, full third the length of
the face. Philosophers, lawyers, ed
itors, poets, literary men, and brain
workers generally, have large ex-
cess of daughters. Wine merchants,
tavern keepers, small retail dealers,
orators, physicians and musicians have
preponderance of boys. Clergymen
, appear just to struggle through the
ordeal without mourning the stigma Of
: inferiority, being equally intelligent
sober and moral with their wives, and
producing an equal number of boys
and girls. Of course, for the stability
: of the new law, it becomes necessary
= to show that musicians, medical mer
: and orators are inferior. Accordingly
the first are lymphatic, the second ar
J made rather than born to their pro

WRITTEN BY A LITTLE BOY.

WRITTEN BY LITTLE BOY.
There was once member of the
Stock Exchange named Hutchinson.
He had no money tospeak OF, but had
a. customer worth several millions.
Hutchinson speculated for the Gus
toner, and after a while the customer
had no money and Hutchinson had
several millions. Then the Stock Ex-
change cast Hutchinson out.
Once there was man named Vii
lard. He hadn't much money, but he
had company that had lots of it.
He specialized for the company. And
after two years the company had no
money, but Willard was millionaire.
Everybody owed Willard i'll will, but
the company owed him s2,10o,O00.
Then the stockholders bounced Vii
! lard
But Willard said he was going any
way, and had intended going five
weeks before he did. But he did not
want to go at all, and did not know
he was going till ID o'clock the night
before. He said it was his doctor that
told him to quit; but it was the direc-
tors OF bis company. They went te
his house late at night, and invited
him to go. He told the newspaper;
that his doctor told him he would col
lapse if he did not leave the compa
ny: but this was not true either, fol
the directors told him that it was tbs
company that would collapse if he die
not 60 out directly.-[N. Y. Stock

John A. Clark was hanged at Boze

John A. Clark was hanged at Boze-
man, Montana, short time ago, for
the murder of Thomas Rogers, on
Trail Creek, near the Bozeman tun-
mel, in June last. He said he died
an innocent man. This is the first
legal hanging in Bozeman, although
there is quiet little cemetery on the
hill above the town where repose the
bones of more than one old-time ter
ror who died with his boots on. This
execution marks a new epoch IN the
Mountain Territory. The days of the
yigilantes are numbered, and the
reign of statutory law has been inaug-
arated. 1t remains to be seen wheth-
err If will be as effective as the old
way, which was the outgrowth OF
frontier lawlessness. More than flf-
ty men have been hanged III that
Territory without warrant of law as

THE sINrn DISTRICT.

In this sterling Democratic district
Lynch two years ago tried to beat
Van Eaton, and made a failure. But
he seems to be blest with the gift Of
persistency. He is running again,
hut he had as we'll undertake TO ''dam
the Nile with bullrushes," as to 60 to
Congress over Van Eaton. However,
this running for Congress seems to
be pleasant pastime for Lynch, and
as it is harmless proceedmg,nobody
objects to his amusing himself in that
way. Van Eaton has made a capital
member Of Congress. We know from
personal observation that he has tax
en- high rank as "a Representative in
the house, and is man Of influence
in Washington He will beat Lynch
at least three thousand votes, aud if
the Democrats IN the white counties
are awakened to the Importance of
going to the polls, he will beat him
six thousand at least.
