Scientific Marriage.

The scientific marriage is never a
failure. Ill health supplies the di-
vorce courts with business. The
healthy man or woman is not fret
full, peevish, morose or sullen. Thou
sands of unhappy marriages can be
traced directly to disease. The pro-
portion Of young people who should
marry, compare0 with those who
ought not to marry, is small. 1t is
only in rare instances that the stock
of love with which the young couple
starts in their matrimonial career
is able to stand the drain caused by
the complainings, signs and i'll tenn
per of the sick room. No unhealthy
person can be happy or beautiful or
sustain the married relations sue
cessfnlly. In the history of the
world there have been nations who,
for time, married scientifically, and
these people were always the rulers
of the world. Their decadence dated
from the time when they abandoned
scientific marriage. Scientific mar
riage need not interfere with senti-
mcnt; on the contrary, sentiment is
fostered and preserved by science
applied to marriage. The scientific
ally married grow old respecting
each other. They do not learn to
despise each others weaknesses. To
be healthy is to beautiful, and beau
ty is the corner stone of love. No
pers on should marry who is afflicted
by consumption, heart disease,
chronic dyspepsia, rheumatism or
disease Of the nervous system.
The Spartans married scientific
ally, and for hundreds of years pre-
duced brave men and beautiful,
strong women. The Brazilian is
expected to obtain with his marriage
license certificate from his physi-
clan that he is free from constitu-
tional disease. Customs of this
kind lessen the business of divorce
courts.

Governor Wilson has sent in a
special message to the Legislature.
Since the report made in his message
of the 9th instant the only sheriff in
the State delinquent for three fiscal
years ended September 80, 1888, has
settled in full. The financial show
ing for the State is an exceptionally
good one, and the tables taken from
the report of the State Superintend-
cnt of free schools shows that the
cause of education is making gigan-
tic strides. The Governor quotes
largely from the board of directors
and superintendent of the peniten-
tiary, concurring in their recommen-
dations as to abolishing the contract
labor system and substituting the
State contract system in its stead.
The Governor makes many sugges-
tions as to needed legislation, and
recommends that necessary appro-
priations be made for the benefit of
the public institutions, the State mi
litia, and to secure ereditable rep
resentation for West Virginia at the
centennial anniversary of the inaug-
uration of Washington, which will be
celebrated at New York on the 30th
OF April. In conclusion he again
calls attention to the frauds pcrpe-
tratcd at the late election, and APP
pcals for the enactment of such laws
US will render it impossible for a
repetition of them to again place a
foul blot on the hitherto unsullied
cscutchcon of our State.-Tree Press

ANOTHER DISASTER.
Tho Steamer John n. Hanna De-
stroyed by Fire.
Many Of the Crew and Passengers PERISH
The Flapes Originate Among
Cotton Bales.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 25.-Another river
H. Hanna, was burned near Plaquemine, a
hundred miles from here, about midnight
last night and twenty lives lost, including
the chief officer Of the boat. The Hanna
was booked to land at Plaquemlne, and
was but short distance above that town,
when colored roustabout, standing near
the boilers, cried out that the boat was on
fire. The next moment the flames
burst from a big tier OF cotton bales,
and general shout Of ''hre" went up.
John Cullan. one OF the stokers, ran to the
engine-room and gave the alarm. Quick
as he was and, although the promptest
steps were taken to get the boat into shore,
1t was not quick enough. She was laden
with cotton in very dry condition. The
flames sprang from bale to bale like a
fash Of lightning, and shot up through
the cabin and over the sides Of the cot
ton. wrapping tho entire boat in fire.
The alarm had been sounded at the first
sight of the fire, the steam whistle blowing
and the bells ringing and arousing every
one aboard. The chief clerk, s. r. Powe !,
went to every door, made certain that
the passengers and hands were aroused,
and urged them to hurry at once to
the front Of the boat, before they were
cut of They did SO, but there was the
usual confusion in consequence of the
darkness Of the night, the immense
quantity of binding smoke that poured up
from the cotton and the panic which pre-
vailed. The John III. Hanna was built in
Madison, Ind, in 1876 and hailed from
Louisville, Ky. She was of 377 tonnage,
and was owned by the Ouachita River
Consolidated Line. She was valued at
$4,000. and was insured for $12, 900 in local
and foreign companies.

HERO OF THE HANNA.
Brave Act Of James Givens, which Saved
Many Lives, but VIII Probably Cost His
Own.

Byaye Act Of James Givens, which saved
Many Lives, but VIII Probably Cost His
Own.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 20.-The story Of
many acts Of heroism on the part Of the
crew Of the steamer John ii. Hanna, which
was burned near Plaquemine yesterday,
are being told to-day by the survivors who
were brought here. One story makes
Giyens was one of the crew. When
the steamer touched the bank and
bounded away, and Pilot Jolles left
the wheel and sprang overheard, Givens
quickly realized that the salvation of all
ON board depended upon the Hanna being
brought back to the bank At this time
the pilot-house was surrounded by the
flames. Nothing daunted. the brave fell
low sprang TO the wheel, brought the
steamers head again TO the bank, and in
order to keep her there locked the wheel in
the proper position. While he was doing
this the fire swept over the pilot-house
and he was imprisoned in tho flames,
which had already severely burned him 1t
was high time 10 think Of his own life now
that he had rendered possible the saving
OF scores OF others. To escape was
necessary to push through the walls
OF FIRE surrounding him. Givens made
dash for the side Of the steamer
and, although frightfully burned, sue
ceeded in reaching it. Although NOV
ing mass of fire he did not lose his pres
ence of mind. but jumped into the river
and struggled to the bank, where he was
pulled out, cruelty turned and exhausted
from his efforts. Givens now lies at the
hospital in this city with his eyes burned
out, and with several other severe injuries
believed to be fatal. No man ever per-
formed more heroic act than that Of
Giyens, and it is matter of universal re-
gret that his gallantry and humanity
should have cost him so dear The total
loss of life by the burning of the Hanna Is
now placed at twenty -four.
