C onsanguin Koos M arriages.— A
Paris letter »p«ak» of a volqnie
»bout to bo publiabtuJ, which under
taken to b L ow that con&anguincouH
marriages do not deteriorate off
spring, but, on the contrary improve
them. The author paused a month
last year in the borough of Batz,
(Lower Loire,) making the follow
ing observations :
Out of forty-si* households of the
borough of Balz, who are united
by ties of blood, five are composed
of second cousins ; thirty are be
tween the offsprings of second cous
ins ; and ten between cousins of the
fourth degree. The five marriages
between second cousins, have pro
duced twenty-three children, of
whom none were infirm or malform
ed at thîiir birth ; two died of sick
ness. The thirty-one marriages be
tween the issues of second cousins
huve produced a tiundred and thirty
children, none of whom have any
infirmity or |congeuita! affection;
twenty-four have died of acute dis
eases. The ten marriages between
cousins of the fourth remove, have
given twenty-nine children, three of
whom have died of acute diseases ;
the others are nil well. The health
of the fathers mothers and of these
married couples, says M. Voisin, is
good, and except from all cronie
maladies ; that also of the individu
als themselves and of their children
is excellent. They are .generally
tall, and the configuration of the
head with most of them corresponds j
to a uniform type
Out of the forty six couples thus j
studied, only two are sterile, where
the bride and bridegroom are tela :
tives of the third degree. The forty !
five others have produced in all a,
hundred and seventy-four children, J
out of whom twenty nine are now j
dead.
Two striking facts result from
theso figures: The fertility of mar- j
riages between blood relatives of.
the borough of Batz is greater than 1
the average fertility of marriages I
in France, and the mortality of the j
children is relatively less.
M. Voisin, sums up bis observa- 1
tions that cotmanguineus marriages
in the borough, have produced no
maladies, uo degeneracy and no
malformations ; and in. spite of its
secular custom the race have re
mained very fine and very pure.—
This should not surprise us } on the
contrary, "I think" says the author,
"that this result is to be attributed
to the exceptional topographical
conditions of the country and its
climate, to bygone, to habits, to
the morality of the inhabitants and
the absence of all morbid inherit
auloo."
From all these facts, Mr. Voisin,
concludes that "under the said con
ditions of good selection, consan
guinity does not injuriously affect
the offspring and race, but, on the
contrary improves its good quali
ties. This conclusion comprises
that which M. Sanson, had laid
down in these terms, and the cor
rectness of which is corroborated
by my own observations."
"Consanguinity raises the heredi
tary offering to its highest develop
ment."
A W agon Bn, hards .—As a great
many don't know how to play billiards,
we make way for a description of the
game from the pen of Doesticks, in or
der that they may remain in iguorauce
no longer. Ho say* :
"A game of billiards consists of
punching ivory bails about a table
covered with green cloth, that looks
like half an acre of meadow land with
hu India-rubber feooe around it. The
balls are |>unchnd with long wooden
ramrods, with wax on the little end to
save the wood and leather from wear
ing out. You take your ramrod and
rub some chalk on the table end ; then
you lean over the table ; then you
squint; then you lift } r our leg; then
fiddle a little on your left hand with
vour ramrod ; then you punch your
ball. If vour ball bits the other man's
ball, you've done a biç thing, and you
poke a lot of buttons that are strung 011
a wire. This is all tber« i* to a game
ofbilliar Is ; Any body can punch
billiards; 1 can, asd maybe you can."
g ar Such a large number of oe- '
groe« have accumulated at Memphis,
■ays a dispatch to the Cincinnati Ga
zette, as to compel Gen. Tillotson,
Superintendent of Freeomen to issue
orders for them to return to their■
masters under pain of being, arrested j
as vagabonds, but assuring them that
be will certainly protect tbem in all |
contracta they may make for their
labojr. Tbey are also notified that,
they must ai&o carry out in good faith I
their share of the contract, or he will
compel tbem to do to. J
