What He Would Fight with.
nm Ills. Macon Teleyranh.

Colonel Robert Lewis, representative
from Hancock, tells the story of a duel
in which he was to act as one of the prin-
cipils. He was then paying devoted at
tentions to u young lady, and had n rival
as devoted as himself. The rival grew
quarrelsome and his feelings, of which
he possessed as fine am assortment as any
duelist that ever stood on the field, were
hurt by something that Colonel Lewis had
said. He sent u '.friend" to- see his en-
envy. A card was handed to Colonel Lewis
which read about as follows: "YOu have
ipsultcd me and ! demand satisfaction.
You may choose the weapons we shall
fight with. Shall they he pistols, shot
gums, bowie-knives, or WHAT" To this
card Colonel Lewis replied briefly that he
would fight him with what" "We
haven't fought yet" said Colonel Bob. ~
don't suppose they have yet invented the
weapon 1 wanted to- light with. But every
time l see that man i'm u crowd i can rum
him away-we are good friends now-by
asking him if he still wants to light"

TRYING TO TRY O'BRIEN.
A Royal Old Time in the Town of Carrick-
On-Suir.

DUBLIN, January 24.-The trial of
VIM. O'Brien, on the charge of conspi-
racy, began to-day at Carrick-on-Suir,
County Tipperary. The Government
had issued proclamation forbidding
any demonstration welcoming O'Brien,
but despite this 10000 persons gath
cred around the Court House. Six po-
licemen charged the crowd, using their
batons freely, but were unable to dis
perse the gathering. The excitem en-
in town is feverish. AS O'Brien en-
tered the Court House he. was seized by
police inspector and dragged for thirty
yards. The people were maddened by
this treatment of O'Brien, and pressed
forward to rescue him from the hands
of the inspector. The police, however,
repulsed the crowd. Timothy Healy,
who had stepped forward to aid
O'Brien, was met by a bayonet levelled
at his breast, but lie was not injured.
A number of reporters were maltreated.
O'Brien complained to the magistrate
that the police were attempting to in.
cite bloody riot.
When the cases of James Lawrence
Carew, NJ. 2. for North Kildare, and
Dennis kilbride, NJ. ?. for South Kerry
who are charged with offences under
the Crimes Act, were called in Court al
kildard to-day, the accused failed tc
answer. Warrants for their arrest
were issued.
A dozen persons were injured by the
charge Of the police. When the case
for the Crown had been presented
Healy, on behalf of the defendants, ap
piled for subp9nas for Lord Salisbur,
and Balfour, both of whom, he assert
ed, had made speeches similar to thos.

the desired subpenas. The spectator
in the Court room received this dcci
sion with murmurs and the magis
trates ordered the galleries TO b.
cleared. While this was being dom

4 Growing Evil.

The public is alive TO the evil of ciga-
lettc smoking. In Philadelphia,
short while ago, there was much un-
| favorable comment on the fact that
the president of the faculty Of a boys
high school in that city, where 7O0
boys were being educated, was an in
vcterate cigarette smoker. 1t was
very properly held that his example
could have no other than bad effect.
In New York, seventy-tive members
of the cotton exchange united the
other day in condemning the cigarette
habit. In Nashville some time ago, a
paper was read before body composed
Of the leading physicians of the city,
and its condemnation of the evil was
strongly iudorsed.
The evils Of cigarette smoking are
not over-estinated. they can hardly
be, when it is remembered that young
boys, upon whom the future of the
country depends, are the greatest suf-
fercrs
The injurious effects are felt upon the
body and the mind, and frequently
upon the morals. Hardly day passes
that the newspapers do not record'the
loss Of mind or the death of some boy
from excessive indulgence in cigarettes.
There are several reasons why ciga-
rette smoking is more hurtful than
smoking in any other form. More
smoke is inhaled, and more nicotine is
taken into the system; the smoker of
cigarettes is more likely to become an
aDject slave to tobacco; opium is fire.
quently mixed with tobacco, and arse
mic is often used in the preparation of
the paper covering.
Mere children who would hardly be-
come addicted to the smoking of cigars,
may be seen, in this and other cities,
smoking cigarettes. They don't pay
much attention to the quality of the
tobacco; in fact, generally they use the
lowest grades.
Numerous calls are being made for
legislation against the cigarette evil.
\ bill was introduced in Congress some
months ago, looking to its suppression
in the District Of Columbia, and the
best physicians in Washington favored
! its passage.
| One way to abate the evil is for pa
rents to keep themselves better in
formed concerning their children, and
to correct their evil habits. Negligence
; Oh their part is little less than crime.

Prof. Pope, of the University, relates
very interesting incident in connec-

foresight.
Some two years ago Mr.. Pope paid q
visit to Thomasville, Ga, and on his
way thither made the acquaintance Of
one of those fine specimens of Georgia
manhood and thrift, an old-time Mid
die Georgia planter, who had been a
man of wealth in his day, and who.
happily, yet enjoyed comfort in his old
days.
This hearty old Southron claimed to
be able to tell a South Carolinian at a
glance, and he did not err in approach
ing Mr.. Pope, from whom heanxiously
inquired how they ''were getting on in
South Carolina" expressing at the
same time his earnest sympathy with
! our people as we'll as the utmost conf
dence that they would "come out on
top, where they had always been in

lie MARRIAGE OF NEAR KIN.
Nothing apparently to Justify the Common
Prejudice Against It.
Scientific American.

THERE'S a widespread idea that con.
sanguineous unions produce either -de'
fective offspring or none at all. When
marriage between cousins is spoken
of sterility or deaf mute, idiotic or de,
formed progeny is predicted, and ex-
amples are always at hand to cite in
support Of the prophecy. Does this
opinion rest upon positive and we'll
authenticated facts, or is it erroneous!
This is question that was examined a
few years ago by Mr.. G. H. Darwin
who, after profound study Of the sub.
ject, came to the conclusion that in the
present state of science there is moth.
ing to justify the common prejudice
that exists against the marriage of neal
kin. More recently the subject has
been further examined by Mr.. A. H.
Huth, who has just published an ex.
haustive work upon it, in which he ar
riveS at the same conclusion that Mr..
Darwin did. Mr.. Huth thinks that
consanguinity Of itself plays no par,
ticular role in the union of individuals
of the same stock. In the descendant:
it increases the tendencies common to
the two progenitors. BY reason OF
their relationship, the closer this is and
the closer relationship of the ancestors
the greater is the tendency of the des.
cendants to exhibit the same disposi-
tons. If these are good, consanguine.
Gus unions will be advantageous, in
that they will fortify and intensity
them. If, on the contrary, they are
bad, such unions should be avoided, in
order to prevent a reinforcement OF
unfavorable tendencies, (which should
be suppressed. But the case is identi.
cal where it is question Of unrelated
persons. No reasonable person would
urge two homeopathic individuals Of
different family to unite, because he
knows that the neurosis has every
chance to become intense in the de-
scendants. On the contrary, union
between consanguineous individuals
equally healthy and we'll favored
ought to be encouraged. What may
be urged against marriages of near kin
Is the faculty with which unfavorable
tendencies are transmitted, and the
relative rarity Of the circumstances in
which such marriages can really be ad
vised. But, this admitted and explain
ed, consanguinity of itself presents nc
inconvenience, especially if we consider
how remote, by reason of the existing
laws upon marriage, is the degree O.
consanguinity between individual!
capable Of uniting iegitimatly.
Upon the whole, consanguinity accu
mulates and intensifies tendencies. L
these are bad the marriages of near kir
should be avoided; if good, it may be
favored. But, as unfortunately the un
favorable tendencies are more easily
and frequently transmitted, because
they are the ones that are established
| with the most facility, there is oftenel
more reason for avoiding than seeking
such unions. Upon the whole, Mr.
Huth concludes that the accusation.
| directed against marriages of near kir
are not justified ia the present state o
scienc.
