Transmission of Disease—Illustra
tive Cases-Relation to Mar
riage.
Transmission from parents to children.—The
transmission of intellectual, moral and bodily
peculiarities from parents to children is one ot
the most important and beat established facts
in Physiology. This great truth may be read
in the face of almost every child we meet, being
plainly written in those features that constitute
family resemblances; and is scarcely less legi
ble in the inherited mental and moral charac
teristics of children.
The offspring partakes of the nature of both
parents. Sometimes L the traits, of the one parent
predominating, and sometimes those of the
other, by the operation of some mysterious law
which makes a stronger impress of the one
than of the other.
But, whichever, may be the stronger impres-
sion{originally,the mother has the greater mod-
i/ying power in the development, because the
life of the child is bound up with hers prior to
its birth, the blood of the two being comming
led up to this event And even after birth,
when the child has to some extent, an indepen
dent existence, it is nourished by the milk of
the mother—a secretion much influenced as to
quantity and quality by her mental and bodily
condition, and which, of course, must exert
a great and corresponding influence over the
infant thus nourished
Here, let us notice a fact of vast importance,
which is just now beginning to be duly con
sidered and appreciated, even by physiologists,
and which is but little known or regarded by
those most interested, who have never investi
gated such subjects. It is only of late years,
that the great truth has been developed and
enforced, that the transmitting and modifying
power of parents embraces not only the original
or congenital qualities and peculiarities of fath
ers and mothers, but extends also to those states
or conditions resulting from indulgence in bad
habits. Or, in other words, that the acquired,
as well as the congenital peculiarities of parents
are transmissible to ohildren.
This being true, bow can mothers expect to
be blessed with intelligent healthy children when
the brains of these mothers are stupefied, and
their nerves shattered by tobacco, opium, tea,
coffee, depressing passions, over excitement
and the numberless health distroying influences
to which most of the women of this age are sub
jected—willingly and ignorantly in many cases,
but, in some, by the stern conditions of their
lot in life ? What expectations can fathers
have in this respect, when to similar influences
is super-added the raging fever of alcoholic
drinks.
The law has gone forth, and cannot be chang
ed or suspended, that parents who thus violate
the laws of health will not only suffer the pen
alty in their own persons, but that their iniqui
ties will be visited upon 'the children unto the
third and fourth generation.’
In many cases the poison transmitted is so
virulent that the progeny becomes extinct be
fore reaching the fourth generation; and hence
this may be regarded as the extreme limit.
But, when actual, open disease is not trans
mitted, parents who have impaired their health,
often transmit to their children a hidden weak
ness, a constitutional proneness to disease,
which makes the unfortunate child subject to
attacks from trivial causes, and diminishes its
powers of resistance when attacked so that it
falls a victim to diseases which might hayg Keep
escaped entirely, or passed through safely, fad
it inherited a good constitution.
Casts of Transmission.—These may
be seen all around us; but the following case of
two noble ladies is from Haller: He tells ns
that these ladies, like too many others, had
more regard to wealth than anything else in
making a matrimonial alliance, marrying men
who were nearly idiots; and from whom this
mental defect has extended for a century into
several families, so that some of all their de
scendants still continue idiots in the fourth, and
even in the fifth generation.’
Another illustration of inherited moral char
acter is that of the imperial Claudian family
which long flourished at Home, unrelenting,
cruel and despotic; it produced the merciless
and detestible tyrant, Tiberius, and at length
ended after a course of six hundred years in the
bloody Caligula, Claudius, and Aggrippioa and
then in the monster, Nero.’ Examples equally
striking might be adduced from the family his
tories of every reigning house in Europe.* But
why multiply evidences of i truth which is
manifest and admitted by a)! ?
Xot considered in Jlarriage.-It be
ing true then, that the mental, moral and physical
character of the child depends so much on the
parents, is it not strange that this is so little re
garded in matrimonial alliances ? When we de
sire good fruit, we carefully select good seed.
•We do not expect grapes of thorns nor figs of
thistles.’ "When a plant or flower is to be culti
vated, we not only seek good seed, but we in
form ourselves as to its natural habits, best mode
of tillage, and all the circumstances most favor
able to its growth. When we desire a good
horse we examine carefully info the qualities
of his progenitors; and in horses, ‘purity of
race,’ is prized above all other considerations;
and so entire is the dependence placed upon the
transmission of qualities by hereditary descent
that the genealogy of the race-horse, of the hun
ter, and even the farm horse is looked on as a
sure criterion of the properties which may be
expected in their progeny.’ The same thing is
true in all the lower animals. In ail ‘we calcu
late, with perfect certainty on the reappearance
of the qualities of the parents in their young.’
And yet, in the face of all these facts, matrimoni
al connexions are formed without one moment’s
thought beiDg given to them. But, no false
modesty should restrain us from communicat
ing tho vitally important truth, that man in his
physical organization is subject to precisely the
same laws which govern the lower animals.
’Men are but grown up children,’ it has been
said. And it is even more true that man is only
an animal in his physical structure, and in tho
laws which govern that structure, whatever we
may say of his mental and moral superiority.
ret Paragraphs.
One day yon will be pleased with a friend,
and the next day disappointed in him. It will
be so to the end, and yon must make up your
mind to it, and not quarrel, unless for very
grave causes, for neither of you is perfeet.
He that keeps himself to the measure ot a just
judgment, he that holds himself at that place
which Lis capacities fit him for, he that forms a
mod eiate estimate of his importance, he that takes
a place lower than that for which he is qualified,
will be continually invited to go higher.
There is one statement of faith made by
Charles Kingsley which receives most cordial re
sponses from many men who legard ordinary
creeds with indifference: ‘Of all good things
that can befall a man in this world, the best is
that he should fall in love with a good woman.
Little acts, like flakes of snow that fall unper
ceived upon the earth, the seemingly unimpor
tant events of life, succeed one onother. As the
snow gathers together, so are habits formed.
No single flake that ia added to the pile pro-
ducea a sensible change; no single action creates,
I however it may exhibit, a man's character.
A pig at Sunny Point, Texas, not long ago
killed two negro ohildren, an infant and a little
boy of two, eating off the bead of the former and
a leg and an arm of the latter.
Nashville, July 15.—Robert M. Lowe, a white
man, was shot and killed by Calvin Andersou,
colored, near Bellbuckle, this morning, while
Lowe and fifteen others, in disguise, were en
gaged in breaking down his door.
The hogs of a Georgia farmer being troubled
with fleas, their owner was told to anoint them
with lard and tar. He had no lard but tried tar.
For several days his hogs failed to come up. and
he concluded to look for them. He found them
in a bed in the woods, all stuck together like
damp postage stamps.
A parrot was sent over the Chicago, Burling
ton and Quincy railroad the other day. The
cage, enclosed in paper, was put on a coffin and
was soon forgotten. As the train men were pas
sing through the car they heard a sepnlchral
voice issuing from the coffin, crying: ‘Lemrne
ont!' They were startled and thought a dead
man had come to life until the bird waa discov
ered.
The very hot weather lately, has been unusu
ally fatal. In St. Lonis on Monday, there were
a hundred and forty odd cases—embracing men,
women and children. Between forty and fifty
cases proved fatal. Extra foroe had to be en
gaged at the dispensary,and all weretaxed to their
utmost Chicago, Little Rock, Nashville, Whee
ling, Quinoy, 111., and other cities had fatal at
tacks.
Some boys hunting for fish bait on a meadow
at Glen Cove, L. I., a day or two ago, discov
ered an immense den of snakes. The meadow
is perforated with holes over the extent of about
an aore, and from each of these holes protrud
ed the heads of three or four of the reptiles,
which Ikept up a lively hissing at the intruders
on their domain, while from tufts of grass nu
merous other heads were seen. They were of
the species known as black snakes. The boys
killed about twenty, aDd reported that hun
dreds escaped into their holes. A grand snake
bunt is talked of.
In Cincinnatti, a very strange thing has occur
red. Last week a man and his wife, Lavelle,
by name, proprietors of a restaurant, were strick
en suddenly dumb. The wife first, and most
violently, for the husband has since partially
recovered the use of his tongue. The symptoms
were peculiar. There was no acute pain, ap
parently, but the eyes are inflamed, the tongue
swollen and covered with a thick, black coating.
Mr. Lavelle was sitting down writing a letter to
a friend and describing his wife's strange affeo-
tion when he was suddenly seized in the same
way himself.
A few days ago three boys, aged respectively
eighteen, sixteen and twelve, slipped into the
house of Mr. Sterling Jenkins, who lives on the
Talbotton road, and stole a watch and some oth
er valuables. Mr. Jenkins tracked and overtook
them in Hamilton. He recovered his property
but did not desire to put the rascals iE jail, so
he told them that if they would whip eaofi other
he would not prosecute them. This they agreed
to do. They were taken out, stripped to the
waist and provided with stout hickory switches.
One was tied to a tree and the others laid on their
backs lustily with the switches, until Mr. Jen
kins expressed himself satisfied. The ceremo
ny was gone through with each one. They were
then dispersed with smarting backs and peni
tent hearts. They said that their mother work
ed in the mills here and that father was dead.
Humor
‘Mother,’ said a little five year old, ‘have you
heard that Uncle John got shot yesterday?’
‘Why, no ! Dear me ! How did he get shot ?’
‘Oh, he bought ’em.’
It is not the man who has the most money
who is the happiest; that theory has been explod
ed long ago. No! The fellow who smiles the
oftenest, looks the jolliest, and eats the biggest
dinners, is the man who has no aches and pains,
never had corns, and who has a boy old enough
to get up and make the fire of mornings.
A lady with a fatal sqnint came once to a fash
ionable artist for her portrait. He looked at her
and she looked at him, and both were embar-
ressed. He spoke first. ‘Would your ladyship
permit me,’ he said, ‘to take the portrait in pro
file? There is a certain shyness about one of
your ladyship's eyes which is as difficult in art
as it is fascinating in nature.'
An opulent farmer applied to an attorney
about a lawsuit, but was told he could not un
dertake it, being already engaged on the other
side. At the same time he gave him a letter of
recommendation to a professional friend. The
farmer, out of curiosity, opened it, and read as
follows:
‘Here are two fat wethers fallen out together.
If you’ll fleece one, I’ll fleece the other.
And make ’em agree like brother and brother.’
I found my love at the garden gate,
Jnst where I expected to find her,
And I also found, too awful late,
That her father was right behind her.
Miss Mollie Perkinson fell into a mill pond
whilst fishing, Her father jumped in to rescue
her. Both would have been drowned bnt for
the heroism of Miss Lavinia Kreth, who rushed
into the water up to her waist and extended a
paddle, rescuing them; so says the Raleigh Net os.
Hold on there, Biddy ! Save the slops. Don’t
squander wealth. A down-east Yankee firm is
now making all kinds of jewelry out of sour
milk, and every family able to keep a goat will
soon have a ohance to put on more airs and gew
gaws than a oity beau at a rustic picnic.
It is a peaceful refreshing sight to see a female
negligently reclining against the softly cushion
ed seats of her fashionable landau, smiling
sweetly to her friends as she passes them on the
avenue, while her placid face is shaded by a car
dinal silk parasol. More peaceful far than to
think of her crossing a five-acre lot on foot with
that wild sunshade oscillating in the air and an
inquisitive bovine following her in hot pursuit.
—George Eliot.
THE MEN.
The Earl of Enniskillen is stone blind, and
the tallest man in roe House of Lords, measur
ing six feet seven inches. He possesses one of
the finest collections of coins in the United
Kingdom, and in spite of his sad affliction, takes
great interest in numismatics. His daughters
are also exceedingly tall, being over six feet;
yet very handsome, and fine horsewomen.
Governor for life.—We heard a prominent
South Carolian say the other day that, while he
did not agree with Governor Hampton in many
things, he did believe it would pay the State
handsomely to have him a life-long governor at
the rate of $10,000 per annum. Hampton has a
great national reputation, he is universally lov
ed, and is the embodiment of personal honor
and politioal harmony.—Herald.
An enthusiastic gentleman who writes to the
New York Sun over the signature of "Mononga-
hela,” Bays that he used to be in favor of Thur
man for president, but that now he is tooth and
toenail for Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
Colonel James Casey, Grant’s brother-in-law,
says that Grant will go into convention two
years hence with every southern state solidly
for him, and Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan,
Iowa and Wisconsin already assured. Casey
thinks that there will be only one ballot and no
opposition.
Miss P. W. Sudlow, for many yoars superin
tendent of the Davenport Schools, has accept
ed the chair of Euglish literature in the Iowa
State University. Salary, seventeen hundred
dollars a year; just the sum that was paid to her
predecessor. There was no cut in her oase be
cause she is a woman.
Lydia Thompson off the Stage.
The moment Lydia Thompson leaves the stage
she becomes a rather dull, commonplace little
English woman. The wit that sparkles before
the footlights vanishes. She knows nothing
outside ot her business; anything that tends in
a different direction has no charm for her. In
stead of going home for a night of carousing,
she retires quietly to her hotel with her hus
band, eats a chop and drinks a glass of porter,
-J.L, J 0 :a livvcr sees raea. -A per
son who knew h^r intimately for a number of
years told me that never but once in that time
did she have a man home to supper, and that
was a newspaper man out West, invited by her
husband, Mr. Henderson. Miss Thompson, in
stead of being the reckless, prodigal oreature,
people believe her to be, is thrifty and econom
ical, and often selfish. She likes a big dinner,
more than a good dinner, and if she indulges
in a bottle of champagne she economizes in
something else. She always pays her bills, and
keeps her word. ‘What would she have been if
she hadn’t been an actress ?’ I asktd one who
knew her well. ‘A bar-maid; only I hardly
think that she would have had repartee enough
for that,’ was the reply. ‘ Was she at all fast?’
I inquired. ‘Not a bit; she cared for no man
but her husband, and she made him a good wife
-better, indeed, than he deserved.’ And that
is the siren whom the preachers prayed against!
While I say a good word here for Lydia herself,
I will not attempt to deny the pernicious effect
of her company upon the morals of young
America.—Letter in Boston Gazette.
A Great Artist. -Strolling recently along the
streets of your beautiful city, chance led us into
{ the studio ot Mr. Albert Guerry, the artist. Af

. parition of a galaxy of magnificent portraits
The perusal ot tins epistle cured both parties j that met our aaze, we felt into a halt critical and

Must We Give Ur- the Bird ?
George W. Peck, in his Fourth of J uly oration
at La Crosse, said: ‘It may huve been noticed
that thus far I huve made no illusion to the
American eagle, the national trade-mark, pa
tent applied for, but it is not that I do not ap
preciate the position that species of poultry oc
cupies on these occasions. The poet alluding
to the eagle says:
‘Bird of the broad anil fleeting wing,
Thy home is high In heaven.’
This is too true. H# is a high old bird, and
the committee that selected the eagle as a na
tional emblem, should have been arrested for
disorderly conduct. Oh great bird! You live
on mice. You soar aloft on pinions airy, until
you see a poor little monse with one leg broke,
and then you swoop down like a ward constable
and run him in. You are a nice old bird for a
trade-mark, for a nation of heroes, you old cow
ard. You sit on a rock and watch a peasant wo-
woman hanging out clothes, and when she goes
in the house to turn the clothes wring, you
great bird, emblem of freedom, you represen
tative of the land of the free and the home of
the brave, you swo->p down on the plantation
and crush your t.dons in the quivering flesh of
her little baby, take him to your home high in
the heaven, an.d pick his innocent little eyes
out. The bird that should have been selected
as the emblem of our country, the bird of pa
tience, forbearance, perseverance, and the bird
of terror when aroused, is the mule. There is
no bird that combines more virtues to the square
foot than the mule. With the mule emblazoned
on our banners, we should he a terror to the
foe. We are a nation of uncomplaining hard
workers. We mean to do the fair thing by
everybody. We plod along, doing as we would
be done by. So does tue mule. We as a nation
are slow to anger. So is the male. As a nation
we occasionally stick our ears forward and fan
flies off our forehead. So does the male. We
allow parties to get on and ride as long as they
behave themselves. So does the male. Bat
when any nation sticks spare into oar flauks
and tickles our heels with a straw, we come
down stiff-legged in front, our ears look to the
beautiful beyond, our voice is cut loose, and is
still for war. and our subsequent end plays the
snare dram on anything that gsta in reach of
ns, and strikes terror to the hearts of all tyrants.
So doss the male.
half wondering mood of thought. Here, said
we, to ourself, in the desolated, depreciated
South, by a native artist, once more, are to be
seen and studied, works of the highest order of
artistic genius. Why had we not heard of them
before? Are our people waiting for some gen
erous critic from the North to come and tell
them that these are admirable paintings and
worthy of their pride ? Or do the people know
that they have a great native artist among
them ?
If we had stumbled into the studio of Albert
Darer, instead of that of Albert Guerry, we could
not have been, even as much surprised, for we
see excellences here, that that renowned painter
had no conception of. Why, here, in a little up
stairs, ont of the way room, in the remote capi-
tol of a Southern State, is a collection of paint
ings, the production of a Southern man, yet
young and comparatively unknown, which arc
worthy of the study of the best critics of the
age, and of the admiration of any civilization.
Would you study what artists call nature, grace,
beauty, character, coloring and expression ?
Would you understand the permanent, general
principles of visible objects as they affect the
eye of a true artist—the harmony which consti
tutes the beauty of the human face and form—
the artless balance of motion and repose, which
is grace, and the quiet simplicity, contrasted
with brilliancy,the artistic effect of true coloring,
observe the splendid portraits of Gordon, Cobb,
Loohraue, Mrs. Keeiey and others, which now
adorn this studio.
We learned with great pleasure that the A. M.
L. Association hud had tue taste, and liberality
to employ the genius of such an artist to deco
rate and ennoble their hail with the portraits of
Cobb, Gordon, Loohrane, Brown, and other
great men, both living and dead, of Georgia.
And when those picture are hung in the Library
Hall, they will becoms a oentre of attraction and
education, of which the entire State will he
j ustly proud. L.

Our problem this week merits attention—a beautiful
finish that is rarely seen in actual play.
In view of a general reduction having
been made in the various branches of
business, as well as in the cost of liv
ing and in the price of labor of almost
every conceivable enterprise, we have
concluded to make public a corres
ponding reduction, from former prices,
in the following operations in our own
business:
GOLD FILLINGS, that have here
tofore been made at $5.00, will be re
duced to $2-50; those formerly $3.00,
to $1.50, and those at $2.00, to ONE
DOLLAR. We can say that fully
eight out of ten of all fillings made,
CAN BE DONE OF GOLD for this
amount —the work being as good
in all respects as if we received five
dollars per filling; thus you see these
teeth may be saved for the amount or
dinarily charged for extracting them.
We are now making sets of teeth,
using the best makes of artificial teeth,
for from $5 to $10.
- We have recently perfected a plate
material which we think is far supe
rior to anything that has yet been
given to the public, and which, when
used, will he found the great want sup
plied.
We REFIT poorly constructed and
badly fitting sets of teeth, so that they
are comfortable and serviceable, for a
very small amount.
Such persons as may doubt
really good operations can he done at
the figures we state, (and there are
parties who, hoping to receive twice or
three times our charges for the same
work, will help them to doubt) we par
ticularly ask to give us a trial. We
have some reputation as a Dentist, and
have made it by doing good work at as
low figures as is consistent with thor
oughness.
Among our patrons we have such men
and their families as Mr. Sam’l Inman,
Maj. Campbell Wallace, Prof. William
Henry Peck, Dr. J. M. Johnson, Hon.
B. H. Hill, Dr. A. W. Calhoun, Rev. J.

Preserving Corpses.
To the Citizens of Atlanta, and Surrounding Cities and
Villages, and to Undertakers in Particular :
Now that warm wea.her has commenced, and all of us
are continually exposed to sickness and death. I would
say to you, gentlemen, that I have in store a full supply
of Egyptian Balm, which i- a sure and effective corpse
preserver. Anybody can administer it. and it makeB the
use of Ice useless. One botile of Egyptian Balm does
more towards preserving a corpse than any amount of
Ice you may be able to procure; keeps it life-like and
natural, to which hundreds of our own citizens can tea
tify. Call on me before the corpse becomes rigid, or as
soon as death lias taken place, and I will guarantee to
keep the corpse Tor any length of time you wish. Refer
ences given from first families in the city. Office and
ware-rooms. No. 26 West Alabama street, Atlanta, Ga.
