Schiller, the Ger- msn poet, was an sdept in this srt, and somo of Die rigdles are marvels of ingenuity.

It wns sup- 1950d that the trade would be enormously {roftable, but the Company sent out but one t2p, which made 8 voyage in 1717 It deslt in Zaglish money inatead of South Ses_goods. In 190 it assumed the wholo national debt, which ¥es then over £30,000,000. The nation was to Pay it 6 per cent per annum for geven and one- L2t years, and 4 per cent thereafter. This sent ;he stock up to 830. Violent speoulation set ic. L was quoted at 550 May 28, and 690 June 1. On Juue 3 it fell to 640, but @ skillfal bull move- ‘:efl! putat 1,000 by August.

The stockholders final- 1y got between 40 and 50 per cent of tho par value of their shares, but very many of them wera utterly ruined. Tho temporary success of the bubble led to all manner of similar schemes. None were too wild to fail of support.

THE DOCTRIXE OF EVOLUTION: I7s Dita, Irs PRINCIPLES, ITH SPECULATIONS, AND LTS THRISTIO Bzamixas, By ALEXaNpn Wisenzur, LL. D, New York: Horper & Brothers, 1874, ‘Who has not hoard of that town whoss inhab- itants, alarmed at the insccurity of their jail, voted to build a new one? There was good logic in this’; but they at once procecded to com- plicate the matter by declaring that tho new ‘building should be erected out of the matorial of the old one; and, furthermore, that, until tho new building was comploted, the old one should ‘be used for the confinement of prisoners ! Tt scems to us that tho opponents of the mod- ern theory of Evolution are in the samo position 26 these townsmen. They recognizo the ncces- sity of the new structure; they confess tho abso- lute need of it; they are willing to use tho old material over again; they admiro the propor- tions, symmetry, and convenience of the mew plan; but they ero unwilling to vacate the old ehell and to witness its demolition. They cling to it with o tenacity that speaks more for their reverence of the old than their willingness to be for a time in a state of partial exposure to rudo, conflicting, and often harsh experiences. They aro indisposed to undergo the mental perturba- tion and pain which accompany the birth of an ides. The old structure is decrepit and worn witk time. It has losthero a corner, therea wall; scattering fragments fall with every blast; but around the foundations such 2 mass of rubbish has accumulated that it seems yot solid and en- during, and they dread to clear away the debris, and see if, after all it rest mot npon eand. Droaches in the wall they carefully repair, props are supplied here and thero to strengthen the structure, and, in the meantime, each interested party takes pains to keep a8 far from tho build- ing s ho possibly can, while seeming to be netive in the work of its restoration and preeervation. For the opponents of Evolution are curiously divided smong themselves. From that homo- geneous condition of holding simply to tho fiat : « Let the carth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattlo, and creeping tnings, and Dbeasts of the earth after his kind; snd it was 60, they bave arrived at an exceedingly hetero- geneous state; belng strung along the lino from those who stillhold that Evolution is Atkeism, pure and simple, to those who are willing to ad- mit that * Religion has no interest in holding absolutely to one side or the other of this ques- tion, which it is for scientific men to eottla” (McCosh). The position is simply this: Not the most vehement supporter of Evolation but admits its many and grave shortcomings. Hardly suy of the more intelligent Theologians but admits its vast sccumulation of explanatory phonomena, swhich, however much they may lack in giving an unqualified support to Evolution, are still enor- mously in favor of its probability, and amply sufficiont to cause the abandonment of the doc- trine of Bpecial Creation. TFor this, lat it be re- memberad, is the party of the second part. It is one of two. Either the Special Creation of species, approximating in number (including living and extinct orgauisms) some ten millions, holds good ; or some process of Evotution and Dovelopment has produced them. Some procesa of Evolution, we sy, for upon this gide authori- ties differ ; soma Evolutionists holding that the effects are due to the action of external forces, from paysical surroundings and the conflict of individuals ; others, that, through the internal forces of generation, influenced sud aided by external conditions, the result has been reached. But the deep and fundamental chasm which divides the two partiss lies beyond and sbove these matters of fact, which time alone is com- petent to unfold and explaia, with an incressing knowledge from observation and experiment. The lion in the pathi—placed there by the Theo- logians—is, not the manner of Evolution, but ita cause. Bcience claims that & knowledge of the cause i8 in no Wise necessary to & knowledge of the manner of Evolution. But, holding to this position, it is not thereby to be charged with & denial of the existence of this canse; and here is pracisely where the dificulty occure. The cause exists, eny both. We, say the Theo- logians, hold that it is revealed qualitatively to every rational being, and tbe canso of Evolution ia a mode eor volition of the Incompreheneible Mind. We, say the Bcen- tists, hold that tho progrees of Religion is toward a more complets recognition of & mys- tery; that Science, by eubstituting for = specific comprehensiva agency a less specific one, arrives at the same myelery, and that both coalesco in the Unknowable. Meanwhile thie preconceived idens which many centuries havo ingrafted upon men through long series of bereditary trausmission, and from which » desire for cmancipation has has not yet worked its spell, bind them, o8 with triple bands of steel, tothe dogms of an anthropomorphic agency which must be within their feeble com- prebension snd understanding. ** They cannot conider,” says Joln Stuart Mill, * th greatness and wisdom of God, once for all, 8 proved, but think themselves bound to be inding fresh ar- guments for it in overy chip or stone; and they think nothing s proof of grentness unless they can wonder at it; and, to most minds, & wonder explained is a wonder 1o longer. Hence asort of vague feoling, 88 if, to their conoep- tions, God would not be 8o greataf He had meade us capable of understanding more of the laws of His universe; and bonce a reluctanco to admit even the most obvious explanation, lest it shoald destroy the wonder.” Theologians are constantly telling us that the difficulties aro not theological, but ecientific. Why, then, multiply the difiicltics by falling back, a8 most of them do, upon the relations of the First Cause to Evolution. Prof. Winchell quotes from Bt. George Mivart, to the effect that the prevalence of the theory of Evolution * need alarm 0o one, for it is without doubt perfectly consistent with the strictest and most orthodox Christian Theology.” It is precisely for the reason that it is not consistent that the alarm i3 50 great, and that the host of defenders of the < girictest and most orthodox ™ Theology are 80 Joudin their denuncistions; and it is for the reason thst the * improvement of ataral lmowl- edgo bas effected 4 revolution in thoir concep- tions of the Universo and cf themaelves, and has profoundly altored their modes of thinking, and their views of right snd wrong among men.” The opponents of Evolution prefer to transfer the pattle from the field of Fact—whercon they goe tho daily increase of Lnowledge slowly and gradually reaching an explanation of thehitherto aberrant and erratic phenomena, working out & solution to-day of what was yesterdsy deemed anaccountable, snd surcly driving thom from the ground—to tho domain of Metaphysics, where all is mystery, and whero they may wage the contest with ebadowy sod unreliabls weapons, and essay to grapplo with the thought and modes of the Infinite. That thero aro dificultics to be evercome be- fore the doctrine of Evolution can be accepted as we acgept the law of Gravitation, is true. Its orbit may bo o little too circular, Bpecics may offer phonomens not yet explicable. The law of Yariation mey require to be enlarged, sud «Xatural Selection” modified. Collateral branches of the inquiry will undoubtedly throw additionsal light upon the question, and may npecassitate no inconsiderable chaoges. Nine-tenths of the opposition to the doctirine of Evolution comes from persons who ore ig- norant of the foundations upon which it is built, unmwmmum-fimum affinities of man and the ape, that constitates Evolution. 1t ismost absurd and childish to look upon it aa a scheme invented for the de- s}rucfian of sny creed or belief. Evoln- tion comprises the system of the Uni- verse. It deals with tho history of tho planets and the stars, It reaches back to the earliost beginning of geologic changes. ?t weighs in its scalo the elemental forces that in their actions constitute life. It follows up the childhood, maturity, and decay of all organio beings, not less than the growth of societics, languages, and laws. It messurea the motion of the molecules in the brain, not less than tho motion of the molecnles 1n crystals, Within its. ecope i8 included a systematic investigation of the canses which govern mon's moral actions,— their moods, beliefs, acpirations, and esthetic sentiments. Right and wrong, trath and falsity, the pernicious deeds of the individual and tho promptings of his better nature, aro ns much subjects of its inquiry as the laws of matter, motion, and force. Tt is not for the purpose of answering the ob- jections brought forward by Prof. Winchell that we havo placed his work at the head of this arti- cle. We find much to commend in his little eseay ; much that will proveof value to the Evolutionist, os well s to him who opposes Evolution. Compared with too many suthors whoaa criticisms upon Evolution appear almost dsily, he shows a fairness and candor which de- sorve imitation. But, as o hias chosen to treat of Evolution in its relations to Thoisin, and na this is the ground to which the argument is finally transferred, it scoms well to mako it clear thaot this issue is outside and beyond argument. Bcience 18 content to rest with & First Cause witbout secking to un- derstand it, aud, while not denying an authro- pomorphic agency, to demand that whatevor provious conceptions we may have, whother they be the faith of our fathers, the tenchings of fra- ditionary Listory, or the sssumptions of Theolo- gians, they shall not bias the inquirer in his search for the Truth, If wo have o duty in the mutter,—says the man who has done most to uo- fold the doctrine of Evolution,—it is that we submit ours¢lves in all bumility to the estab- Lwhod limits of our intelligence, and not per- voraaly to robel against them. With this duty and position,—tho affirmation of a sufficient Cease, while leaving the definition of ity per- gonzlity, atiributcs, thoughts, schomes, nnd dosigns, as somcthing beyond our power to understand or comprehend,—men of Science cense to vex their souls with any soearch for those ultimate truths which underlio all phenom- cna, a8 well asthe very essence of our being and sll that surrounds us.
