The people of Olicago have cause for gratifl- cation that tho measure for the oxtousion of tho water-supply, which was interrupted by tho firo, haa takon practical shape, and is now under con- struction, Tho gonoral echemo ombraces tWwo distinet works,but both essontial to any onlarged system of wator-supply. Tho firat iu the con- struction of » socond tunnel undor tho lske, from tho sito of tho presont Water-Works to tho orib. Tho fmportanco of this work cannot bo overrated. Tho oity i8 now dependent on the one tunnel for its supply of wator. Tho demand for wator is continuous. It admita of no susponsion of tho pumps. The water can- not bo turnod off an hour, and eonsequently thoro is no opportunity given for an oxamination of the.tunnel, nor to clean it, nor to ropairit) should it nead ropalring. In caso of an accidont to the tuanel, it would mvolve an absoluto.cat- {ng oft of tho whole wator-supply of tho city un- til such timo astho damago could Do repairod and our peoplo bave a painful remembrance of what {8 involved in & suspension of wator- supply and o rosort to cistorns snd the _ river, to eay nothing of tho incrossed danger from fire. The now tunnel will run parallel with the old one, nnd, when com- ploted, will be connected with the wells under tho pumps. This will admit the occasional dis- uso of eithor of tho two, that thore may bo froquent oxamunation and such provontive measures adopted as experienco aud timo mony suggest. Tho first tuunel had o capacily of 55,000,000 gallons o day. Tho two will furnish 125,000,000 gallons ovory twonty-four hours, {onving no question as to theadoquacy of the sup- ply from tho lake for many years to come, Evon whon tho timo comes that these will o insufii- clont,it will bo only necessary to construct o third tunnol, or o fourth, or as many as may bo ncoded. Tho tuunol will bo » fraction over two wmiles long. Moro than Lalf a milo has alroady ‘been countructed, and the work progresses at an avorage of 16 feot por day. While this work s steadily progressing under | tho bed of Lako Michigan, another and equally- important onc has Just beon begun. This is the construction of a similar tunnel, from the land torminus of the Inke tunnels to tho sito of the now pumping-works, near the coruer of Ash- Iond avenue and Twents-sccond stroot. This worlk lins been contracted for, aud has boon ac- tually ‘bogun. From fta nmaturo it can be promecutod o8 woll in the winter asa’ any othor timo, and by night as woll g8 by day. Tho timo fixod for ita complotion i8 1875, and tho time is amplo. Tho wholo distanco—swhich will bo in an « gir lino—18 o fraction loga than throo miles and threc-quarters. Tho work will bo prosecutod at various points at tho same timo. Bhafts 80 feot deop nnd 10 foet in dinmeter will be sunk, asg follows: 1, on Chicago avonuo; 2, on Illinois stroat ; 8, on South Wolls stroct, noar Randolph; &, on Jackson, nenr Clinton; G, on Polk streot, poar Halsted; G, on Waller stroot; 7, on Re- boces streot, nenr Contre svenuo; 8, on Nine- toonth straot, neor Bluo Tsland aveouo; and 9, at the torminus. This numboer of shafts mny bo inorensod hereafter. The miners will work both waye from osch shatt, thus cuabling two pgangs to be omployed. Bt each gbaft, Tho general mode of work will bo the Bamo a8 in tho lake tunnols,—the men with tho picks in the advanee, with tho bricklayers fol- Towing closo after them ; tho oxeavatod clay bo- ing moved by tramwaya to tho shaft, and thence sont up to bo carted off. At the weatorn torminus of this tunnel there will bo erected a duplicate of tho presout Water- ‘Works, There isno resson why tho necessary puilding may not bo constructod and the ma- chinery placod in it while tho work on the tun- nol is progrossing. ‘Tho city, in the meantime, is taking up on cortain liues of streot tho emall mains laid down somo years ago, and roplacing them with larger ones, thereby making tho distribution more equal in all parts of tho city. Much of the power now wasted will bo thon saved. The forco of tho two pumping oatablishmonts will be applied to the whole systom of maing nnd supply-pipes, and the prosont failuro, at times, to forco tho waterabove thq socond story of buildings will be romodiod. Tho consumption of wator in Chicsgo is cnor- mous. Tho progrospive increase i shown in tue figuros of the amount pumped annually for sov- eral years, In 1858, tho average daily consump- ton was 9,001,419 gallons; In 1869, it waa 6,400,- 203 gallona ; in 1866, it was 8,081,636 gallons, tho highest being 10,022,164; in 18067, the first year of the lake tuunol, tho daily averago consumption reached 11,502,273 gallons ; in 1808, tho daily consumption fn July was 16,414,460 gallons; in 1870, it reached in mid-sumrmer over 22,000,000, and now, in 1873, it is noarly 85,000, 000 gallons daily, and o large portion of thoe city 18 not yot furnished with servico-pipes. Theso Bgures fudirectly glve sn indieation of {the incronso of population in tho city, ‘Tho lake tunnel was flrst used in March, 1807, the water Jrovioutly usod having becomo dotostable from . iho swashings of the rivor flowing into tho basin off the pumping-works, It wil bo scen, also, that in o very fow years tho wator omand would have oquasled the zapacity of the singlo Iake tunnel, and & econd lake tunnel would hiave bgen o necoskity, Tho coustruction of osecond pumping-works will not only doublo the eapacity to supply, but will give to that supply a forco which is not possible with & singlo operating ostablishment. DBy the thmo tho sovoral (unnols und tho additional pumping- works will bo comploted, it will bo found that thefr construction has not heon by any moans £00 #oon, and that thoy will bo nooded to moot an existing domand for wator, In addition toall hor other advantages, Chicago can truthfully claim to have an ample und unfalling supply of tho purest water. The * Allen Connty Movument " of tho Ohio Domocrsay, which In virtunlly o duclaration that $ha Democratto party 8 » doefuuct and uuelous organization, haa recsived tho important ac- censions of Willism 8, Groesbeck, Georgo E, Pugl, P. W, Btrader, B, T, Cary, and 120 of tho leading Domacrats of Cinclnnnti, who have slgned tho call for the Columbus Convention of tho 30th July. Mr. Grocabeck has written o lot- tor thoroughly indorsing tho movemont, though doclining fo acoopt any mnomination from the Conventlon. Tho Allen County Domoocracy, it will bo romombored, mot in regular Conven- tionon tho 16tk of Juno, and declared that “Both politienl partios liavo domonstrated that they nro powerless to check or control the exist- ing tondoney toward tho uttor demoralization of tho politics of (ha couniry.” 'Mhey iliorofore rofused to send dolegates to tho Btato Domo- oratic Convontlon. Mr. Groosbock snys that tho Domooratic party virtunlly disbanded lasb yoor, and tuat, to lkeop up o soparalo organization now, Is not only usoless, but dotrimontal to tho bost intorests of tho country. Ile thinks that thero aro grave dangors imponding from the prosont administration of the Government, but that tho Democratio party is powerless to avert thom, They can only bo averted by o froo union, under a new organization, of all persons ‘who think sliko on prosent issucs, Nogro suf- frogo is mot a prosont issuo. The negro lag tho suffrage, and, whothor ho - acquis od it too suddenly, and with too lit- tio proparstion for tho eafoty of tho commu- nily, makes no difference now. It cannot be taken away from him, and it is not desirablo that it should bo. Thora aro, howover, important is- sucs upon which former Domocrats and Ropubli- cnng can and ought to unite. Somo ot theso ho enumorates in his Iottor published clsowhoro. : FIRES AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS, 1t wantoed only a favorable conjunction of cir- oumatances, auch a8 n protracted drought, a high wind, and a failure of tho water-supply, to make a8 largo a fire in Baltlmore, on Friday, as those of Chicago sud Boston. The summing up of the Baltimoro fire, althongh mearly 100 bulldings ‘woro consumed, shows a smaller loss of property than took place in a single bullding in Chiesgo on tho Oth of Qctober, 1871, Nevertholess, the wholo country wos profoundly shocked by the firt tolograms recoivod. We have bocome so familiar with the burning of cities, that, whon a firo has acquired's broast of two wholo squarcs in s densoly-populated district, wo aro proparod to hear that it got boyond control, and that its further spread is only a question of (ho amount of tuol within its reach, Tho groator froquency and dostructiveness of fires in this country than in Europo is accounted for in an articlo in tho July number of tho North American Review byAlr, Jamos M, Bugboo upon two grounds: (1) rooklessnoss of archi- tocts and bulldors, (2) want of discipline and oducntion in the fire dopartmonts. As to the former cause, wo find in Amoricen cities & uni- vorsal propensity to omploy tho funds sot apart "for Luilding purposes, whothor public orprivato, oithor 1n usoless and dangorous ornamentation, or in attaining superfluous and cqually-dangor- ous oluvation. In England, thera aro lawa which limit the height of buildings to o cor- tain proportion of the width of the streot in front of thom. On narrow stroets, firo will, of course, leap from one sido to tho othor much moro readily than on broad onos. But 1f the buildiugs are low tho firemen can more ensily master it. Tho oubical contonts of buildings aro also limited by stringent bullding- rogulations, If an, ambitious buildor wishes to covor half an nore of ground, Lo can only do so by interposing brick waile at rogular distances ; thoso walla to rlse o certain hoight above the roof. Ontho Continont of Europo, sovoror rogu= Iations aro enforced. In Paris, cvory floor must bo lined with mortar to prevent a fire, once started, from extending either up or down, In Paris, Vionns, Berlin, Florenco, Drosdon, Amstordsm, and Madrid, Govornmont architeots suporintend overy building erected, for tho oxpress purposo of secing that the build- ing laws are complied with, No structure of any kind can bo erected which does not comply with theso laws, and farnish tho amplost guar- antecs agaiust tha sproad of firo. Iu short, the oxporience of Europoan citics has taught the poaplo that an ounce of proveution, in order to Do worth a pound of cure, must bo systomatio andinvariable, nnd must b despotically enforcod. Imagino the indignation of n Chicago architoct who should find a Government officer interforing with tho oxccution® of bis suporb dosign of & wooden Mansard roof, six storios high, covering a spaco of 80,000 squaro foott e Firo dopartments in this country aro provided with the bost machinery, tho most adwirablo signal systom, and gonerally with the most copi- ous wator-supply in tho woild. Novortheloss, thoy aro, on tho wholo, loss officiont than those of the O1d World, Tho reasons for this are threa- fold: (1) Amorican firomen aro uot oducated and drillod exoept in actunl battlo with fives, In Europe, the trainingof firemon is a8 mothod- ical and continuous as that of soldiers in time of pence. (2) Dolitical interforonco domornlizos tho force and weakens tho authority of the chlofs. . (8) Too much rolianco is placed on the stoam firo-ougines—hand-onghics, puunps, and buckots boing ontiroly discarded. Tho dopart~ ments of Paris, Berlin, and othor Jargoe cities on the Continent of Europe,” says Mr. Bugbeo, “nro organized in o mauncr so éntircly dif- foront from ours that thoy can hardly bo compared, oxcept as to tho e sults nccomplishod. With inforior apparatus, (mostly hand-machines of liftlo power) they ac- complish far bettor rowults In the preservation of proporty from firo than the Amorican depart- monts ; but how muoh is owing to suporior dlscls pline and training, and how much to the supo- rior construction of tho buildings, it is impossi- ble to toll. Cheir success is largely duo, un- doubtedly, to tho colerity with which thoy bring their forces to bear.

The opera eampriguns will rival thore of tho days of Guis and Mulibran, known only to our grandfathors, and thosoof 1805, whon Parodi, Colgon, Zucchi, Amodio, Junca, Formes, and Brignoll wero in tho hoyday of thoir lyrle fame.

It is a ploasant outlook on Lheso aummor duys, &0 plensant indoed that wo may woll request Old Timo to turn on his hour-glass, and mnke no ro- grots for tho alipping sends. The capturo of tho Iowa bandits is by no moans g0 cortain ay the dispatches from Mig- souri would have tho peoplo boliove. The samo confident prediotion wasmade thot tho Bendor family could not escapo detection. Tho nows of thoir flondish crimes spread abroad throughout tho whole world on account of thoir oxaggorated atrocity, and tho organization of tho family was 80 peculiar andso fully degeribed that cocapo was. regarded ssutterlyimposible. Yot tho Bondor fam- ilyis still ot Jargo, aud tho prospect of eatohing thowm of course grows faintor and faintor evory dny. Thevo is an intimation from Bt. Louis that tho Iown bandits aro tho same who have robboed sovoral banks of Iate in Missouri, Towa, and Kentucky, and that their homos aro in s corlain district in Missouri whoro the peoplo would bo likely to shiold tho desporadocs to tho last. This intimation rccalls tho fact that an outlaw named Hildebraud succossfully dofied tho au- thoritios of Missouri through o long torm of dop- redations and murdors, nud that he wag, likewiso, protectod in his crimosand nssisted in his orcapos by tho poople of bLis district. Now, it Missouri has a knowledgo of such communitics as theso within its houndaries, it Is time that it assumed tho task of cleanivg them out. If thoy nro al- lowed to asuert a practical protectorate ovor thioves, murderors, and railrond nesnssins, it will nob Do long beforo they will furnish bandits and outlaws for tho entire conntry. 'Tholoca- tion and charaoter of certain portions of the State of Missouri aro well calculated to afford safe rotreats and abiding-places for highwaymen, and the fact scoms to bo admitted that thoy are largely used for this purposo. Tho Steto authoritios, thero- fore, owe it to the whole country and to common humanity to commenco a crusado against tho in- habitants of theso dangerous distriots. It will not bo o difficult matter to place thom undor such surveillanco and control as to break up their present ocoupation of harborivg robbors aad outluwy. Lettors from France havo beon recoived in Gorman official circles which show that the Fronch army is far from being porfectly organ- ized.

Tho Prusgiaus find the socrot of thiy doficiency to bo that both cavalry and artillory aro coustantly on- gaged in political agitation, andlaugh st any ides of adeclarationof warby Franco against Gormany. In this conncction, tho Deutsche-Nachrichien of July 5 snys: ‘Travolera just arrived from Franco and Prris apealk of the existonco of gon- era) formontation in the faubourgs, of the dis- sntisfaction of the bourgeoisio, and of the possi- Dbility of anothor streot combat, Possibly tho conlition may oxcite tho rovolutionary passions by now pravoeations, in order to become com- plotely master of tho situation, and proclaim ono of tho pratondora to the throne. In official re- gions horo the wholo matter ia regardoed with tho groatost oquanimity.” An oxperimout has recoutly beon started in London which will undoubtedly atiract very goneral aftontion. A building has boon erected bohind 8t. Mark's Ohureb, ata, cost of 0,000, which i to bo used partly for churel: purposes, and partly ag & workingmen’s club, The idea of thoviear of tho church which has been instrument- alin orocting tho building is, that o sooinl olub, Independent in its managoment, ought to exist in ovory parishias an adjunct to tho church and mis- piouary labor. Ono of the first movements of tho Olub was'to supply its mombers with bodr, bo- causo it was found that tho mombors could not bo rotained without it. . Thoro 1a no bar In the houso, and’ tho drink is not obirsively dis- played; but it is always thero for thoso who want {t.

Pun- istmont for this negloct will bo severe onough in tho polguanoy of grioiunder tho consofousness that this carolcasness was the indircol causo of n child's doatli; but will the evont not ns a warning in the future?

Bo much is constantly being written about Darwinism, that o plain statoment of it, divest ©d,80 far aa is possiblo, of all scioutifio torms, may not be nnprofitable, As America was not colled for ita discoveror, Darwinism s not original with Mr. Dorwin, The theory of evolution is venorable aa natural sci- enco. Tho oxternal resomblances of all animals wns,a6 cortain to suggost evolution to Anstotlo 88 to Kant ; ond that it waa quite gonorally bo- lievod by tho schiolntly minority in purely Pagan days, it ia roasonablo to supposo, alnce ignor- anco of scionce and the absonco of dofinod rolations Dbetween God ond Naturo must havo strongthoned Materialistio thoories to & dogreo boyond aur comprohension. Tho idoas that provailed wore, however, as Bir Charlos Lyoll ehows, very vague, Evolution was suddouly rovived in tho Nebu- lar Hypothesis of La Place, aud by the Speoula~ tlons of Kant in tho latter half of tho eightoonth contury. Inthe boginning of tho ninoteonth, Lin- marok, Profossor of Zoology at the Gardon of Plants in Paris, surprised tho ecientifio world ‘with » volumo of testimony in its support, and tho hook would have boen hailed with dolight in the grove of Acadomus, for Lamarck demon- strated by evolution that life is a mero physical phenomenon, that the nervous system producen idons, and that thoro is no distinct vital principlo. As Lamarck wont baok with hia black throad into .tho labyrinthy whoro the Christian iden is wholly absont, 8o the latest Gorman disciples of Dar- win havo gone back to Lamarck, The Garden of Plents in Paris waa tho nppropriate fleld for the constaut dobato of tho theory. In its fuvoer woro Lamarck, Geoffroy 8t. Hilairo, and the young flocks who followed thom. To their ald arogo & school in Gormauy, conspiouous among whose advocates woro Oken and tho poot Gootho, whose discovery of the intermaxillary bone in man, and his volumo on evolution of plants, although not original in concoption, guvo him a8 high rank in scionco ag ** Taust™ did in litoraturo, Olon furnished tho germ of HMux~ loy's protoplaum, sud ho is ontitled to tho dis- tinotion of calling 1t by ovon a hardor nome— * primordial mucosity.” Dut Cuvibr appearedto reduco ovolution to an absurdity in 1830, despite tho numbor and the Tank of his oppononts; and Jittio wan snidd of it, oxcopt in tho satives, until Alfrod Wullaco, tho author of puro Daywinism, sont to Loudon, in 1858, the rosults of soven years® observation in tho Malay Archipelago, In this paper ho enunciatod tho bypothesia of Nntural Solection, with which evolution, as ad- vocatod by Darwin, must stand or fall. Dar- winium is ossontially Natural Seloction; and this lutest rovival of avolution would, therofore, bo moro appropriately cnlled Wallacoism. The honor of the namo hes, somowhat naturally, been transferred to Darwin, becauso his first publication on evolution was mede simultane- ously with Wallnco's ; nnd bocauso, having 1 gitimatoly adopted tho hypothosis of Wallnc Lo beeamo, at once, ity mout eloquent, most por- sistont, nnd most successful advocato, Evolution assumes that all forms of lifo have boen produeed by provious forms, throngh the constant oporation of natural laws. ‘Chospecial ovolution known as Darwinism assumos that this constant production aud constant modifica- tion of forms has been, and, theroforo, is boing, accomplished by natural sclection, In a rovised adition of Lis “ Origin of Specios” (1869), Mr. Darwiu is led to admit that natural seloction may pot have boon the exclusive means of modification, but that it was the most important oo, ‘What, thon, is Darwinism, or Natural Solec- tion? Thiz: Aeall apimals and plants tend to in- cronse in geometrical ratio, moro are produced than ean livo; o strugglo for oxisteuce con- stantly cnsuos; tho weakost porish, tho fittast sur- vive, Thoso survivors, uaid thus to bo naturally selected, transmit, by tho strong principlo of in- heritanco, thoir most striking modifications to their offapring. Tho offapring sra navar pracisa- ly liko tho paronts. Their minute modifications, modified through many goneratious, produce, in timo, varlotios, and vatiotios, in {ime, bocome new specios, To a Pagan, observing morely the rosemblancos among all animals, aud tho apparont erescendo of intelligence from tho lowest up to man, it would scom 8 if tho goneral thooryof evolution would be almost instinctwvo, Christian theology did not impair the pousiblo genuinencos of tho theo- ry; that ds, God was as froo to creato animals dorivativoly (polentialiter) as to crente them nll obgolutely ( formaliter); but Christinn theology contributed nothiuvg to- ward an affivmative answor to tho problem. It wag the rovelation of naturo—goology, zoology, and comparativo anatomy—that was Iscking. God surely might produco now species remotaly from {ndividunls as to produce any animal proxi- ‘matoly from au oldor one, Tho quostion is not ono ot thoology—might ITo do ko P—but one of natural history—Did He do go ? It 18 & more question of facts, If tho thoory bo true, it was truoe in tho days of Aristotlo, and in tho days of Bt. Augustino; but it could not bave boon eatlsfactorlly diconssod, much less domonstrated, at olthor period, bo- cwgo tho progross of mankind in pat- ural gelenco hiad not suppliod facts enough. 1Ind geology uncovored prior to 1830 tho won- dors it has sinco revealed, Cuvier would prob- ably Iinve takon tho othor eide ; for if, With the Inowledgo thon ab his command, Lio was abla to bolieva tho doctrine of Catastrophos—that, at difToront timos, nll lifo had been destroyed by con- vulsions, and now lifo been created~ho would linvo required less than Lialf of Darwin’s obser- vatlon to have made him Davwinist, Darwin maintains that a proponderance of the tostimony of nnture 18 in favor of ovolution by Natural Solection. This eluim I not lightly to bo ovorturned, Jiut in an articlo of the longth of this it Is possiblo only to Indicato thoclussonof faots, whono existence is not disputod, which ara offored in support of tho olaim. A dingram of ovolution, iu a condenned, but popular, form, would bo this: .(Living Jelly, Worin Without Dackbono{ St Jukeots, LOystery, Flshes, Yroga, Having Dackbonos Roytilew Birds, lbllx\nnn!n (Man), Whns proof ia there that tho formloss moving folly bocmne, of ilsolt, & wriggling worm, that the worm, in timo, mado itsolf into n star-fish, that tho star-0sh ovolved a son-urchin, that in- socta aro tho product of fxhien? ifow do we know that roptilos begat birds, and whon and how did croatures without backboue become oroatures with baclbone ? It {a not olaimeod that all these questions can bo anewered, It thoy could, there would be no room for dobato loft. If thoy could, Agnasiz wonld bo sllont, If thoy could, tho powor of God in His univordo would not bo ovortunod,— confirmed, rathor.

Tho original ancestor had ita posterity modified by difforent conditions of existenco. At cortain stages of life it {s-impossible to distingnish tho embryos of turtle, chickon, dog, and mnn, The simplest fish is & worm, oxcopt that it has s backbono, Tho mud-fish of Afriea burrows in the slime attor tho swollon stream has fitted, aud con- structs n tolo for itself, leaving opon only an. air-passago, Whon tho wator returns, it retires from tho mud, and is, thoroforo, both reptilo and fish, Tho most ancient bird known is very liko o roptilo, and cortain oxtinot roptiles closely rosomblo birds, The clamorous birds woro graduslly lmproved into singing ‘bixds, and tho climbing birds into birds of prey ana flying birde. The simplest mammol, in whioh specios man is included, has & termiual abdominnl arrangemont liko that of tho birds ond reptilos. A kangaroo is ono of the simplest of tho mammals, and carries its young in o pouch ; but tho proximato link between mam- maels and birds and reptiles has not boon agreod upon. Tho kangaroo is cousiderod the aucestor of the pig and horse. Tho opossi, using its big too as a thumb, is tho fatler of the moukey, Tho ying lomur it & link betweon tho Lnlf-zpes and tho bats. Ialf- apes produced true apes, From the monkey follows tho orang ; from tho orang, tho gorilln ; from the gorilla, man; and tho structural differ- oncos botweon man and the gorilla are much less than betwoen tho gorilla and the lowor apes. Tho strugglo for oxistence, whoso outcome is Natural Soloction and tho survival of the fittest, hns boen so claborately discussed by Darwin himsclf that n rengonable comprehousion of its value, in concluding whother evolution be true or falso, con only bo had by reading Darwin ; and, if tho result thoreof bo hostilo to Darwin's liypothesis, as it is vory likely to bo, tho labor will have been rewarded by its own delight, for 5 moro marvelous display of human knowledge, of univorsal and iinute observation, of plauel- ble reasoning and beauty of rhotorio, has never Leen oxhibited. Only one of tho moroe striking illustrations may here bo slluded to. How, for instonce, como tho height and the neck of tho giraffo ? In sovero droughts, whon ground vogotation had been destroyed, and tracs slone romained, only thoso individuals of tho nnscent~ giraffo specics which woro sblo to ronch the folingo survived; ond at tho noxt drought only tho high-roaching of their progouy waro proserv- od; thus tho long neck became an inberitance. The fact that variations may bo produced in animals is boyond dispute, animals and plants under domestication furnishing suflicient proof, All that is wanted in the Darwinian theory to dovelop slight modifications into gront ones, individunl diforences into variotios, variotios into specion—is time enough ; and, as ho agsumes pnst timo to bo practically infinito, it would scom a8 1f ho had it. It is an iuhoront part of the Darwinian theory that, with ovolution in animal structuro, thoro has been o grad- uul dovelopment of mental power, * Tho low grado ‘of intelligouco of tho fish is owing to its low corobral organization ; thio mental activity of tho dog is due to its comparatively highly complox brain,” Ants build edificos, tunnel rivers, go to battle in bands, and eacrifico their lives for onch othor. Thoy capture slavos; and koop aphidos ns mflch cows, The wondorful rovolations that Agausiz has racently mado cou- corning tho domostio habits of boes, Mr. Darwin will undoubitedly considor s valuable contribu- tionto his theory, notwithstanding that Mr. Agassiz argues from thom an exactly con- trary conclusion, Tho mulo of Bouth Amor- ica is os “rationsl” as—tho inhabitauts, Orangs woar clothes, uncork boltles, nsslst sailors in fixing salla and un- loading cargoos, and mako fair cooks if care- fully watched, The link, however, botween real man and real monkoy has not satisfactorily boon supplied, although various anthropologists bo- liovo that eavago mou, as in tho Plillippine Islands and in Boruco, are groat familos of monkoys. "o question of evolution is, indoed, two-fold, Has thero boou evolution in animal structure, culminating in the beputiful buman body, and bms thoro boon ovolution in intelligance, cul- minating in man's ronon, and his soul? It is cortain that natural history will never an- swor tho lattor quostion. It is vory doubtful that natural history has given an afficmo- tive suswor to the formor; and if thoro has boon this kind of evolutfon, it is less than abswd to nssumo that Jnown fuots prove it to Linvo boon nccomplishod by Natural Boloction., Daspito tho progross of uelonco, tho pitunation to-day is very liko what it was aftor Lu Place had mado lis grent astro- nomieal discovories and reached old ago: ¢ What wo know I3 but littlo; what wo kuow not iy im- mouko,” sald he, Sclonce hna surpassod, s Tmerdon remarks, tho mirecles of mythology ¢ but ¥ Soionco is the (n})ogmvhy of ighorancsy #ays Dr, Iolmes, who is a better sciontist than Tanorson. g SUNDAY-LIQUOR REGULATIONS IN ENGLAND.
