and The Happiness OF All.

Ia any one VINO mas studied the laws
of life, and especially those which re-
late tc reproduction, an experience
such as we are about to relate, will come
with special force and interest. The
transmission of certain lneptal traits Of
prominence. and of certain physical
traits of equal prominence, are facts
which all acknowledge, but which none
can understand. The father may be
distiuguishe1-the son, an imbecile; or
the prent may be de repit aud un-
known, and the child achieve the high
est place hossible to humanity. But
through it ali, there will be certain
characteristics. which mark the ndivid-
ual as descending from certain auces-
tors, Too often, indeed, these oharac-
taristics are iutirmities, and often of a
physical nature.
These facts were stri1ingly brought
out during a conversation, which a rep
resentative of this paper +, Gently had
with Mrs. Carr ID #. Swift, who is
the wife of one of our most prominent
citizens. This lady related that She in
herited from her parents certain tenden-
cies. over which she had no control, and
which were IN the nature of blood diff
culties, assuming the form of Iheuma-
tlsm. Her experience can best be de-
scribed in her own words. To the writer
/ she said;

The newspaper man after bidding Mrs
Swift goodbye, repaired to the photo

following conversation ensued:
