Heredfty.

IL Is certainly easier 10 breed a par
ticular variety of pigeons than to breed
particular variety Of children. Pigeons
run in more simple grooves of heredity;
they do not put forth so many varia-
tons as human beings do; it is easier,
therefore, with them to predict and OBJ
tain results. In man, complex organic
being as he is, the law of inheritance of
like qualities is largely modified by laws
OF variation. The son is not the image
OF his father, or Of his mother, nor is he
a simple inheritance-that is, OF like
begetting its like. 1t is not possible to
predict what will be the exact mental
qualities and bodily features of the child
OF two persons whose characters are
known very well, nor so much as to tell
what its sex will be- solomon, wisest
of men, did not trust his wisdom to de-
eide the quarrel between the two women
about the child which each claimed as
hers by its resemblance to the one or
the other. Again, twins, although
sometimes ludierously like in features
and characters. are very unlike in other
cases, while the child which resembles
one parent in bodily features may not
resemble it in mental character. Nor
have the halves of double monsters al
ways similar dispositions. The Hun
garian twin sisters that lived united by
the bottom of the back for twenty-five
years had extremely different tempera-
ments, albeit after their deaths their
blood vessels were found to commune
cate, so that the same blood served
them. The so-called Siamese twins,
again, who died few years ago, did
not live happily to the end of their days.
One gave way to drinking, thereby dis
turbing much the others comfort, and
they quarreled SO much on that account
and because they took opposite views OF
the American civil war that they were
earnestly eager to have separation OF
bodies, and consulted eminent surgeons
on the subject. F'ortnightIy Revieao.

The New York Observer thus observes:
1t is asserted, perhaps with good reason,
that the daily newspapers have been
improving in moral tone in recent years
We have detected no disposition, how
ever, on the part of the daily press to
lessen the amount of space devoted to
the abuse of rival journals. The great
dailies of this city, some of them claim
ing special eminence as family papers
and leaders of public opinion, do not
seem to think it beneath their dignity to
come out almost every day with column
after column filled with violent and
coarse abuse of each other. In nine cases
out of ten the point at issue is one in
which the general public has no interest
whatever, and the space gwen up to the
quarrel is simply an imposition on read
ers. With the great majority of intel
ligent people the charges which the daily
papers are continually making against
each other of falsehood, misrepresenta-
ton, corruption, etc, have no effect
whatever except to weary and disgust
Newspaper quarreling is Il silly, petty,
and contemplate practice, and that
journal which has q proper respect for
itself, and values its own influence, will
keep clear of it.

is less in common between the electors

much less prospect of establishing polit-

many. That there has been no serious
rupture for nigh half a century is no
proof that discordant elements have been
