MARRIAGE OF COUSINS.


New York Graphic: As wealth ac-
cumuIates the disposition to create
great families increases in this cOun-
try. Our laws look favorably on the
distribution OF fortunes; no state has
ever thought OF adopting law Of en-
tail; i'm many bequests for more than
one or two lives are forbidden. But
rich men, desiring that their descend
ants shall keep their property together,
are cOntriving to accomplish their pur-
pose by intermarriages. The marriage
OF cousins, which has usually been
frowned upon by the church and So
ciety, is becoming more frequent than
it was. In the ROthschild family it
was enjoined by the founder expressly
for the purpose OF keeping the family
wealth together, and in some wealthy
American families, which need not be
named, it is understood that the pol
icy is being favOrably considered.
The popular idea is that the mar
riage Of first cousins is unwise, because

George Mears of Antwerp, Paulding
county, Ohio, formerly "A member OF
Company F, Forty-ninth Ohio Volun-
teer infantry, was to-day granted a
pension OF $50 per month and arrear-
ages amounting to $6,2lO.7O. He
filed his application for a pension in
1873, on account of rheumatism and
paralysis, since which time it has been
pigeonhole1 in the pension bureau.
Four weeks ago Mr.. Mears, whose
lower limbs are paralyzed and who
has been confined to his bed for five
years and has been unable to perform
manual labor for more than fifteen
years, started for Washington with
his sister, Mrs. Brandenberg, as IL CON-
panion aud attendant.
Arriving there Mrs. Brandenberg
called on Civil Service Commissioner
EdgertOn and Congressman YOder and
sought their influence in her efforts to
get the pension for her brother. The
three called ut the pension bureau and
found that the case with all the papers
was in charge OF special examiner
located in Northern Ohio. Cen Black
teiegraphed to that official, directing
him to return the papers to Washing
ton at once. He did so, and in the
course of week they reached the de
partment, and 10y order OF the com.
missioner the case was made especial
and thoroughly and promptly investi-
gated. resulting in the issuance OF the
certificate to Mr.. Mears.
| This is said to be the most celebrate ed
pension case in Northwestern Ohio
and has attracted much attention
Tie claimants sister certainly de
serves much credit for her devot ion
and persistence. Judges Edgerton and
Ioder were much interested in the ease
and made almost daily visits to the
pension office in order to forward it,
speedy considerat ion.

Letter from Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Sd; 1885,
Let the New-year sing
At the old years grave;
Will the new year bring
.What me ola year gave ?

VIII the new year btIuS
What the old year gave?
The dawn of New Years day
brought only leaden skies and n per-
sistent rain and sleet as attending
features. The churches were thinly
attended in consequence; many OF
them had been deliberately trimmed
with the beautiful Christmas holly
and running cedar which is found
near here in Fairfax county.
As the hour drew near for the Pres
ident's reception the clouds had rolled
away The usual pageant at the
White House was all that could be
desired on Monday the I'd. The
quiet hum of voices and the fragrant
perfume FLOWERS added to make the
reception perfect in every detail.-
The President shook hands steadily,
and let it be added gracefully, to a
multitude of people, assisted by his
beautiful wife. She wore a princess
dress, olive green plush. The skirt
was gathered full at the waist and the
rich train of plush was without q sim
gle break. The only trimming was
ecrue Etruscan silk lace. Her hair
was in a BLYTHE knot, the diamond
necklace arranged in it and caught
with two diamond stars. The vesti-
bule of the White House covers the
space which would be covered by a
good sized eight-room house. 1t has
doors at each end aud in the middle
and end of the glass wall. The back
wall is of mosaic stone and beautiful.
glass; many of them set in rough and
beautiful shapes. Tiffany made this
wall and the government paid well
for it. There is an oil painting at
the White House life size of Gilbert
Stuart's, Washington as big as one of
the mirrors which cost two thousand
dollars. 1t is the picture that Dolly
Madison had cut from the frame and
carried off with her when the British
invaded the Capital.
AS Lent in carly, society
will "push things with humming
vim.
Our gentlemen in Congress have
returned from their Christmas stuff
fling. and the voice of wisdom ascends
upwards towards that funny looking
female called the Goddess ofLiberty.
The Republicans have q majority of
two in the Senate-a narrow margin.
Yours, PATSY PRY.

What Am to Do?

The symptoms of BiIiousness are
unhappiIy but too well known They
differ in different individuals TO some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently,
alas, he has an appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning.
His tongue will hardly bear inspcc-
ton at any time; if it is not white
and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order and Diarrhea or Constipa-
ton may be q symptom or the two
may alternate. There are often
HcmorrhOids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often
headache and acidity or iatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the sto-
mach. To correct all this if not eff
feet a cure try Green's 1"g"st Foec-
en-, it cost but a triic and thousands
attest its efficacy.
