Marriage and Health.

1t has been proved beyond all
peradventure that married people suff-
er less from sickness-have fewer dis
eases and live longer lives than the
unmarried; this is true of both sexes.
When cholera RACES it takes away more
single than married people, and SO of

lie says they have no right to burden
wholesome partners with Invalid COM
panions for life, nor should they run
the risk of bringing children into the
world, that may inherit their chronic
ailments. The great mortality of the
single may be due to the fact that in
valids of both sexes often abstain from
marriage. The question has been
raised whether any one should be
permitted to marry without doctors
permit. Certainly it is u mockery Of 6

jeff Davis can not keep still. The
trouble with the old man now is that
the history of the United States does
not suit him. The ulcer of his thought
is that the historians speak of the
United States as nation and refer to
lit" as we might speak of Great Brit
ain. 1T" in his opinion does away
with state sovreignity. Mississippi is
lost in the nationality. jeff is afraid
the youth of the south will be corrupt

been connected he ought to be thank

He Thought Himself Hurt.

Gen. Hickenlooper tells a good one
of Gen. Corse. 1t was at Alatoona
that rifle ball took Corse alongside
the head. Gen. Sherman received
word from Gen. Corse that his ear and
a portion of his cheekbone were gone,
but he was still able to hold his
position and fight it out. AS soon as
possible Sherman got over to see him,
full of anxisty for him. He found
Corse with his head swathed in
bandages, and. in his anxiety to know
the nature of the injuries, impatiently
ordered the surgeon to remove the
cloths. This was done slowly and
with great formality, and there was
revealed slight scratch on the
cheek and hole in the ear. Sherman
looked intently at it. and calmly
remarked. "Why, Corse they came
id near missing you didn't they?"
