Marriage and Health.

1t has been proved beyond all per.
adventure that married people suffer
less from sickness-have fewer dis.
eases and live longer lives than the
unmarried /; this is true ofboth sexes.
When cholera RACES il takes away
more single than married people, and
so of all contagious. Professor Rich
ard A. Proctor while admitting
these facts warns sickly people
against marriage. lie says they have
no right to burden wholesome part
ners with invalid companions for life,
nor should they run the risk of bring
ing children into the world. that may
inherit their chronic ailments. The
greater mortality of the single may be
due to the fact that invalids of both
sexes often abstain from marriage.
The question has been raised wheth-
er any one should be permitted to
marry without a doctors permit.
Certainly tits a mockery of a divine
ordinance, for clergymen to unite
persons who cannot be true compan-
ions, and who are unsuited for each
other by difference of age or an in-
herited tendency to insanity or dis
ease,-From Demorest's Monthly for
May.

ALEXANDER III.
Emperor Of Russia.

The potentate whose portrait Is
here presented rules ninety millions
of people with the hand of an auto.
crat. lie is the eldest son of Alex.
ander III, the ruler assassinated by
his subjects on March IL, 1881. AL
exander Ill has not yet attained the
prime of manly strength and ability.
lie was born March 10, 1915. Great
pains were taken with his education
In 1866 he married the Princess
Maria Dagmar, a younger sister Of
the Princess of Wales, daughter OF
Charles H., King of Denmark, and
sister of Georgios l., King Of Greece.
Ills bride, who had been Lutheran
previously, joined the Greek Church,
of which the Gar of Russia is the
head, and was named Maria Eeodor-
ovna.
Upon the death Of his father, Al
exander, OF course became Emperor
in his place. Ii was not until, May
u, 1888, that he was crowned Car Of
all the Russias, aud he was seldom
seen by his subjects before that date,
keeping himself shut up in order to
avoid the fate which had overtaken
his predecessor. On the day of his
coronation, however, he manifested
the manly confidence and courage in
his relation with the people, which
have characterized him since. Ills
reign has been quiet an uneventful AS
regards domestic events. The re-
forms looked for by sanguine Rus
SLAMS with preference for constitu-
tional form Of government have not
been granted; and it appears that
Nihilism, ii not checked, has not
grown since its murder OF the Cars
honorcd father. In its foreign policy
the empire under Alexander III has
been anlicable towards both Germany
and Austria, its powerful neighbOrs,
but aggressive in the direction
towards India, England's rich aud
coveted possession. Russian armies
have by gradual encroachnents,
reached the geographical point pre-
senting The difficulty as To where
should be the exact line between the
territory Of Afghanistan, which Is the
occasion of the present tronblc pc
tween England and Russia. While
the policy Of Russia is aggressive,
that OF England is defensive, intent
on keeping "the Bear" as far away
from her ludian frontier us possi-
Bile.
Alexander III and his gay and
anliable partner are the parents OF
i've children. The Grand Duke
Nicholas, heir apparent, was born
May Is, 1868; the Grand Duke
George, May 10, 1871; the Grand
Duchess Xenia, April IL, 1876; the
Grand Duke Michael, December 8,
1878, and the Grand Duchess Olga,
June l3, 1882. There is no danger OF
the extinction of the Imperial stock
OF Russia.

are black and sparkling. lie would
not be considered a handsome man
according to the standards of critical
comparison, but he is pleasant and
agreeable. lie is one offourteen sons
of ex-Judge Taylor, of Lawrence
county. lie is man of fine literary
attainments. He graduated at JEFF
ferson College, then at Canonsburg,
in the year 1858. After leaving JEFF
lerson College he went through the
Princeton Theological Seminary.
When ordained in the ministry he
took charge ofthe Westfield congrega-
ton, where lie has remained ever
since. Shortly after his installation
at the Westiield charge he married
Miss Packer, of Hiram, o., whom lie
had met while on visit to the latter
place. Miss Packer was classmate
ofMrs. Garfield, and they both attend
ed the college at Hiram, graduating
while President Garfield was at the
head of that institution. They main
tanned their friendship after both had
married, in this way Rev. Taylor and
Mrs. Garfield became acquainted.
A year ago last July Mrs. Taylor
visited her parents at Hiram, and
while there died suddenly of heart
disease. Mrs. Garfield sent the be-
reaved husband her sympathies on
the sad occasion, and they frequently
met when the Rev. Taylor was on his
way to and from Hiram. The friend
ship thus established ripened, until
ii is now an open secret in the West
field flock that their shepherd is to
marry the widow of the distinguished |
President.
The reverend gentleman makes
frequent visits the home of Mrs. Gar
field, and the intimations which the
congregation has received indicate |
that the event is TO come of some
time next summer. Their only anx-
iety at present is as to whether they
are going to lose their present spirit |

OBITUARY.

Died, at North Platte, Nebraska, on
Monday of last week, Rev. John Nc
Namara, aged GO years. The deceased
was we'll known In this city, having for
a few years been the rector of st.
Matthew's church here. He was largely
respected for his liberal christian cour-
tesy, and his readiness to engage in all
good enterprises for the uplifting of hui
mainly. He was an active Temperance
worker, and counted upon as a good
friend of that cause. When the war of
the rebellion broke upon the country,
Rev. Mcnamara caught the spirit Of
patriotism in common with the loyal
men of the country relinquished for
the time being the rectorship of the
church and enlisted as chaplain in the
army. He was the right man for the
post; was hopeful, enthusiastic, and
difused "a like spirit among those with
whom he came in contact.
Rev. Mcnamara regarded Lake
Geneva as his home in Wisconsin. The
Lake Geneva Herald says: mo man en-
joyed the esteem and respect of the peo-
pie more than he. He was prominent
in the early history of the town and
state, and identified with the early
anti-slavery movement, as much or
more than any one IN this part of the
country" His remains were brought
to Lake Geneva for interment.
