GENIUS rs SPORADIC.
Great Men Seldom Have Adequate
Successors in Their Children.


sMen of genius do not as a rule have ade-
ouate successors in their children. but it Is a
remarkable circumstance that almost all
our greatest inventors and scientific discov-
erers, the men whose originality and mental
power have created landmarks in the his
tory of human progress, have been self
taught and nave not derived anything from
the training of their ancestors in their sew
eral departments of knowledge. Watt,
Brindley, Faraday, Sir William Herschel
and George Stephenson, are cases in point;
indeed, one might fill a volume with ex-
amples to prove, what is, indeed. seldom
denied, that genius or super-excellence IN
any department of human faculty tends to
be sporadic-that is, it appears suddenly
without any proportionate development in
the parents or immediate ancestors OF the
gifted individual"
ssBut, surely, DIR. Wallace, genius is in
herited."
ssCertainly it is: but it is rarely or never
intensified after its first appearance, which
it certainly would do if not only the genius
itself. but the increased mental power due
to its exercise were also inherited. Ii ac-
quired characters are inherited the youngest
SONS of every artist, musician or man OF
science should be the greatest genius. The
| only prominent example that looks like a
progressive increase of faculty for three gem
e~rations is that of DR.. Erasmus Darwin and
his grandson, Charles Darwin. But in this
case the special faculties displayed by the
grandson were quite distinct from those of
the grandfather and father; while, if we
consider the different state of knowledge at
the time when Erasmus Darwin lived, his
occupation in a laborious profession and the
absence OF that stimulus to thought which
the five years. voyage round the world gave
to his grandson, it is not at all certain that
in originality and mental powers the former
was not fully the equal of the latter."-Dr.

BOARD OF FREEHOLDERS.
Short Meeting Observation-Disclosures
Transacted.

The Board of Freeholders held a brief adj
journed meeting yesterday. The most inn
portant matters that are pending before the
board were left untouched, and will be acted
on next Thursday. These include the cleo
trio light plant at Snake Hill and the
Boulevard iron bridge over the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad cut.
Engineer James Moyian, under whose SUI
pervision the Delaware Construction Com
pany built the iron bridge over the Hacken-
sack River, at the foot of Newark avenue,
reported that the bridge was completed and
ready for the official acceptance of the
board, and also that a final payment of
S $500 was due the contractor. The report
was referred to the Committee on North
Bridges.
The contract to build a lavatory for the
use of the Court House officials and others,
was awarded to Barron Donaldson for
1850. Clerk Boyd was directed to adver-
tise for proposals to paint the Boulevard
bridges, and the Committee ON North
Bridge and counsel to the board were in
structed to take such action as may be neces-
sary to compel the Greenwood Lake Rail
road Company to erect a proper bridge over
its property at Kearny. This action was
taken because of the pr~esentment made by
the last Grand Jury concerning the in
adequate bridge which is now maintained
there by the company.

iGUILTY OF MANsLAUGHTER.
John Campbell Convicted Yesterday
May Get Ten Years.

John Campbell Convicted Yesterday
May Get Ten Years.
After recess yesterday afternoon, the trial
of John Campbell, for the murder of his
brother, was resumed, and evidence for the
defense was taken.
Several witnesses testified that Robert
Campbell had always been quarrelsome, and
that John Campbell was a peaceful and
sober man. John Campbell was next placed
on the stand, and his evidence convicted
himself. He is twenty-five years old, has a
smooth face, with a very tough expression
on it, and he wears his hair combed in a
bang that reaches almost to his eyebrows.
When giving his evidence he said "dis" and
s'dat," and 'den," in the regulation tough
gang style. He described his sending Robert
for the beer, and said he came back drunk.
He asked Robert for the change, and Robert
said, 'sIll give it to you, you ---
-" and he picked up a wagon Jack and
struck him on the hand.
At the request of Counsellor Simpson,
Campbell showed the jury how his knuckles
had been injured. Witness said he went to
Robert to take the jack away from him. He
told Detective Hottie that Robert hurt his
head on the wagon.
ibid you hit him on the heads" 81 may
have hit him with the stick on the head, but
if | did, / can swear that 1 did not know
there was anything in the stick. He came
after me a second time with the jack before
| made any effort to hit him"
C~ross-examined by Mr.. Winield-"Robert
was three feet away from me when he threw
the jack; he had the can of beer in one hand
and the jack in the other. l tried to get the
beer from him, and he said, You --
49, I'll kill you took hold of the
can and he held On to it, and then | let go.
He went after the jack and | picked up the
stick to defend myself. I went TOWARD him
with the stick in my hand to keep him away
from me-"
"Why did you follow himg' asked the
Prosecutor.
No answer.
sWhy did you go toward him instead of
running away from him?"
No answer.
Redirect examination-"I hit him with
the stick, because [ was afraid he would hit
me with the jack"
''If you ran away he could have thrown the
jack at you, couldn't heF
Eyes"
Chow far could he have thrown itg' asked
Prosecutor Winfield.
81 don't know"
Dr.. Laws called. testified that he treated
the knuckle of John Campbell. 1t had been
thrown out Of joint.
This closed the case for the defense.
The case was given to the jury an hour
later, and acting On the suggestion of Pro-
secutor Winfield. a verdict of m~anslaughter
was returned. Campbell was remanded for
sentence. The extreme penalty for the crime
is imprisonment for ten years at State
Prison.
