The Windsor.

The Windsor theatre, Chicago, was opened Sunday, Aug. 18th, by Gus Williams, in his "Keppler's Fortunes" !" In our opinion Mir. Williams is the best German comedian on the Ameri- can stage. Every movement of his work is careful study. He Is as far above the over drawing man of Dutch as the genuine comedian Is above the ungrammatical wretch who attempts, by his very misuse of words, to por- tray . character. Williams has be- come . favorite throughout the coun- try. He is not only an actor, but he is the composer of some of the most praiseworthy songs of the day. He Is a man of hard work, of genius and of truthfulness. The Windsor theatre is without question one of the best in Chicago. Manager Lehnen permits no one to leave him in the race for popular favor. His theatre is one of the handsomest and most comfortable in the west, and he has the reputation of never sheltering bad show. His list of attractions for the season Is ex- cellent.

Should First Cousins Marry'
Exchange.

As wealth accumulates the disposi- tion to create great families increases In this country. Our laws look ia vorably on the distribution of for tunes; no state hss ever thought of adopting law of entail; in many be- quests for more than one or two lives are forbidden. But rich men, dcsir- ing that their descendants shall keep their property together, arc trying to accomplish their purpose by inter- marriages. The marriage of cousins, which has usually been drowned upon by the church and society, Is beoom- ing moro frequent than 1t was. In the Rothschild family 1t was enjoincti by the founder expressly for the pur- pose of keeping the family wealth to- gether, and in some wealthy American families, which need not Do named, it Is understood that the policy is being fhvorably considered.
 The popular idea is that the mar riage of first cousins Is unwise, be- cause the offspring arc apt to bc sickly. Gregory the Great issued au edict against them. It would seem however, that the old theory will have to be received with reservation, Mir. George Darwin, son of tho great Darwin, has investigated the subject extensively, and has come to con- clusion opposite to that above referred to. He finds that, according to sta tistics, in marriages between first cousins. as rule, the offspring enjoy average health, and that there is no warrant for the popular belief that idiocy, deaf-muteness or insanity are more prevalent among them than In tho rest of the community. He ad- mits, however, that such offspring ap- pear to be more liable to certain dis- cases than other children, and that there Is slightly increased mortality among them in comparison with the children of non. n.consanguinous par ents.
 It will strike the public that Mir Darwin has left the subject abou! where he found 1t.
 There are, however, moral as we'll ai hygienic objections to the marriage oi first cousins; 1t would be unwise to break down the barrier which enables cousins to associate together with ( freedom which would not be allowed among strangers. Most modern code' are silent upon the subject; but some things may be left to be determined by individual taste and sense of pro. priety. No coditier of the present day would feel 1t incumbent upon him tc declare that man may not marry his cousin.

Tom oehil,rss as He is.


 A great many things arc written of the genial ex-congrossmAn, Thomas Porterhouee Ochiltree, that have truthful foundations. Many stories, intended to be humorous arc attrib- uted to him and he Is too good naturcd to write to the editors and denounce them as untrue. Another point about the distinguished Texan is that he Is the most truthful of men, although his reputation as story teller has no doubt induced many to believe to the contrary. Those who know him welt agrcc that he Is a polished gentleman, master of elegant English, both in speaking and writing, and thoroughly reliable. When his exubcrant imag- ination unbridles itself and makes an excursion over tho fertile plains of his memory, all know tho humor of his narrative, except, perhaps, few un- initiated, and enjoy 1t accordingly. One thing that can be said to his honor and credit is that while ho waa being entertained In Europe by the nobility he never forgot that hc was an American, and brookcd no insolence from any one, whether cooknoy or \ duke.
 Once, at the great Derby races, the prince of Wales coolly asked Colonel Ochiltrec to 70 to another box and make bct with the Marquis So.apd-s so. In a very nonchalant way tho colonel asked him to send the Dukc or Prince So- and-so, calling them by name, who were present, for hc never did errands, The colonel Is full of original wit, and & certain answer made by him to re- porter not long ago was net intended as irrevercnt at all. A dispute was going on between some people In tho corridor of the Fifth Avenue hotel as to whether Colonel sngcrsoll had tho bcst of Mir. Gladstone in his last an swer to the North American Reric,c. Colonel Ochiltrec was just from Washington and was full of political ideas, Tho reporter asked him, In con- nection with the dispute, If he be- lieved in the divinity of Jesus Christi
 "Yes, believe in the divinity Of Jesus Christ and In protection to American labor,s was his quick reply.

IF YOU CARED.
BY FRRTT BAYLEN.

Tnless you come, how can bid you stay? [ have not courage now to call you back; Sot courage even to lift my eyes to yours; For if you cared you would not turn away. An. if you cared you would not be so cold; For surely you would feel too great lack n aIl your life without me, If you cared, To wait for words of mine to make you bold And when with me your own thoughts would
 be lures
 To draw you to me, though gave no sign, And teach you, if you thought a smile of mine, You stlIl might hope to win it, if you dared.

Green Ramie are very resistant and quite
suitable to faSten plants to stakes.
En- PEASANT, you will observe that the
leaves Of the Ramie are a very good forage
for COWS, and on that account, the plant
could also become useful, only, they should
not be cut too ripe, which would allow to
cut them five and six times a year but,
to obtain that result, irrigation, during the
dry season, would be required.
You seem to take such an interest in the
Ramie'S culture, my dear fellow, that I
have thought to be agreeable to you in
sendlng for your own examination, the
specimens, which, without pains, we have
obtained here, as, it can be said, those
plants require no care. You will even be
able to try upon those green fbres, the
same reagents, that already succeeded so
well upon the dry ones.
Please accept, my dear fellow, the new
assurance OF my friendly feelings.
Signed. On. NAUDIN,
Member OF the Academy Of Sciences.
Mr.. Frenzy who has had the kindness to
communicate to us this letter adds:
1t is a question to enrich our Colonies,
with a substitute (Successor) to cotton,
hemp and flax. In China, Japan and Ton
quin the culture of Ramie is a success.
AS to the machinery to decorticate it, q
competition will be opened on %15th'August
next, when by order of the Minister of
Agriculture the Ramie will be submitted to
trials.
Planters were waiting the results of the
culture at Antilles and of the next competi.
ton, in order to proceed to that culture.
We will therefore be able to do away with
a yearly tribute of two hundred millions,
that cotton costs us in America.
That plant will succeed, in all our colo.
MES, where Sugar Cane is no longer a
paying culture.
AS one may see, this is a patriotic ques-
ton, involving National wealth. That
question is defnitively resolved.
