To any one who has studied the laws
of life. and especially those which relate
70 reproductioa, an experience such as
we are about to relate, will come with
snaci.I force and interest. The trans
mission of certain mental traits OF proml-
hence. and of certain physical traits OF
.ouaI prominence, are facts which all ac-
knowledge. but which none can under
stand. The father may be distinguished,
the son. an imbeclle or, the parent
NAV be decrepit and unknown, and the
child achieve the highest place possible
to humanity. But through all, there
will be certain characteristics, which
max the individual as descending from
certain ancestors. Too often. indeed,
these characteristics are lnhrmltles, and
often of a physical nature;

reseutative of this paper recently had

wife of one OF our most prominent citl-
zens. This lady related that she lnherl-
