The Laws Sad Mistake.

lBoston Special in New York Morning Journal,
Eight months in Cambridge jail have
transformed Roger Amero, strong +.
healthy man, into sickly, broken.
down, half-demended wretch, Horror
at the thought that he was to be hanged
for the murder of Mrs. Carlton, of wa.
fertown, year ago, has done more
than the hardship OF Imprisonment to
wreck his manhood. When be was ar.
rested at Plymptop, N. s., lest spring
everybody felt relieved, thinking that
the mystery that shrouded Mrs. Carl.
toms brutal murder would apeedily be
cleared away. Now the detectives ad.
NIT that their evidence against him is
insufficient to convict, and tomorrow
he will be released, broken down in
mind and body. He will not believe
that he is to be set free from his prison
at last.
nDon't talk to me like that" said be
to your correspondent to-day. "Wby,
you are as crazy as father. tell you
they are going to hang me and father
both, but I hope they will catch the
man that murdered that woman and
hang him sure"
Here the poor fellow broke down and
wept like child. Then new idea
possessed his disordered brain. "Say,
father" he sobbed, "did you know
mother was dead and Til never see her
any more?'
''No, she isn't, Roger" said his aged
father, reassuringly. "She is well and
strong. have letter from her here. "
"But 1 know better she's Dead" was
the despairing reply, "and they are 60
ing to kill us both. It makes me mad
when I think of the pIsc, I'm in; and
say, father, my sister has gone crazy,
too.
The old man tried hard to quiet his
son, but it was all in vain. 1t was i'm
possible 10 make him believe that his long
confinement was SO soon to be at an
end. 1t is true that three relatives of
Amero have been crazed by his arrest.
A despatch from Halifax says that
some time ago married sister of his
was taken to lunatic asylum, the i'm
mediate cause of her arrangement be-
ing grief at the accusation of her broth
er. Afterward his brother became IN
sane at his home near Digby, and few
weeks ago a younger sister began to
show symptoms of insanity and is now
a lunatic. In redress for the wrcng
that he has suffered the state will pay
Amere Sl.25 day for the time he was
confined. The mystery of the murder
still remains, and probably always will
remain, unsolYed.

Intermarriages Of Diseases,

A disease, like the individual in
whom it is located, has genealogy. It
has an ancestry of morbid conditions"
all commingled, and transmitted from
sufferer to sufferer, until, "by inherited
dispositions, accommodating and combin-
ing in definite proportions" altering for
good or evil, according to the soil on
which it grows, a new one is produced.
This, in few words, stripped of its
technicalities and deprived, unfortu-
nately, also of the wealth of illustra-
tion with which it is accompanied. is
Sir James Paget's ingenious theory.
Its attractions are undeniable. its plaus-
ibility great, and, though the author. in
addressing professional audience,
forbore deducing moral, the lessons
which it irresistibly suggests are too
patent to escape notice. That children
inherit the courage, cowardice prodi-
gality, frugality, face, figure, complex
ion, tone of voice and talents of the
parents is, of course, a truism. s,It,is
equally certain that diseased parents
bequeath their frailties to their off
spring. Scrofula, cancer, consump-
ton, epilepsy, rheumatism, gout, in
sanity, cretinism and albinism are among
the most familiar of the diseases or de-
fects which srun in families" A crav-
ing for alcohol is recognized 'mor-
bus, " handed down from father to son,
while listlessness, sloth and impractica-
bility are as readily transmitted as a
capacity for work and clear brain from
one generation to another. A prudent
person hesitates to marry a consump-
tive or member of family in which in
sanity has appeared, thus acknowledge
the soundness of the data mentioned.
.Consanguinity is believed, and Justly
so, to intensity the risks of transmission,
though only because there is chance
OF near relatives, such as cousins, being
taintsd with the same family trouble.
Yet little care is taken to avoid dam
gerous "intermarriages of disease. II
