George Mivert Is oncol the foremost amovg the naturalists who have boen able to prescrve thelr faith tn an Ortbodox creed'while pursuing the free and daring Investigntions of Belence. Iie I8 a firm and devout Cuthollc, and b the same time au adhierent to the doctrine of Evolutton, But this pesition brings him In an- tagonisia to many of the theoriea of the “Ag- nostles,” or “Know-Nothings,” us that sectlon of the madern school of Phitosophy (Including Humllton, M, Lewes, 8pencer, Huxley, and Balu), which asserts the merely phenomenal character of ull our knowledge, is sometimes called. Mr, Mlvart contonds that thers are many things borne In upon our consclousness that aro really “honoruble® and “absolutely true,” and the more bnportaut of these he undertakes todeflue In the present volume, | Ile starts out with an aflirmation of three preliminary assertions, viz.: I ¢ Absolute skep- ticlsm, with every position that necessarily in- yolves it, Is to bo rejected as an absurdity; II Propositions are not to be defended which can- not be even concelved to be scriously cnter- tained by some ove; IIL. Whatever can be con- cerved of the mind can bo conununicated to others by articulate speech”; und then pro- cceds to extract from the study of Nature, ns revealed to us from our own minds, the primary 1esson that our contiuued personal éxistence Is e:rtulnly posltive and frresfstibly true, Resting upon this ns 1 fundamental basls for his cunu- Iutive arguments, be goes ou to adducy evl- dences of the certainty that an external world really extsts, and that 1ts various parts actuilly posses the propurties which our senses declary them to hove, Ile next defends the propositions, that there {s an absolute difference, fn the matter of Jun- guago und of conscience, bebween man und all other anbmals; and that, thus differing funda- mentally from all other creatures, mon must also difler in origin, From an extended consid- eration of the traits ond hablts of the brute, Misart concludes that the wost highly orgun- jred—os the tog, the bee, the clepbant, the ant, and the gorilla—do not possess sentlence nor teanon, awd, while feellng both plensurs wud afn, neither know nor refiect upon either. The lerhms of natural seleetion and of sexual ge- Jection ure slso rejected as puerile, untenable, aud refuting themsclves. Mr. Mivart nceepts thie bypothesis of Evolu- tlon, believing 1t Lo be entirely compatible with the strictest Christian Urthodoxy. 1o sees in s theory o8 inuch room umd s strong a ne- cssity for a Great First Cause, having the ut- sributes of power, knowledge, guoduess, pur- pose, and will,—in fne, having personality,—ns here §s by the old doetring 60 W separate erews tlon, The reasoulngs with which e supports bl position arg learned and lahored, and pre- supposc an understanding of Biblieal Science on the purt of the reader, and o cspacity for ’;rnnp(nz delicate and abstruse poiuts in a lo; eal argument.

Das Moings, la, Juuo 0.—The Bupreme Court has filed an fmportant deciston, fn which 1t reversed Wsclt on tho doctrine held by s ma« jority of the Court in the case of Lssac Brandt. = nfthat cese, the defondant Brandt demurred to the Indictment, which deinurrer was overruled, and he appealed. The Bupreme Court enter- talned the “mppeal, and overruled the Court belosy, The caze to-dny was precleely stmilar, E. P. 8wearingen was indicted in the Montgomery County Distrlct Court for larceny. He demurred to the Indictment, which was over- ruled, and he appealedd, The Attorney-General filed a motlon to dismiss the appeal, for the reason that It docs not lic from such a decision or judgment, The opinion of the Court was prepared by Chief Justice Beevers, who says The Code_provides, Scc. 4,62 ‘' The mode of reviewing In the Sapreme Court any judgment or declslon of the District art in & criminal case {n y appeal.” Bee. 4,522: *‘*No appeal can he taken untll after Judgment, and then only within one year thereafiar, ™ The question fs, whether the word ‘! judg. sectlon means final judgment, ment " in the last or any intermedlste decision or judrtnent. Ty acctiona alve quoted have been In force 1800, and it fx somewhat remarkabls if the *Judzment. " as used in sec. 4,522, doos not mean Aual julgment, that oo appeal han heen taken, iu a criminal action, from any judgment or deciglon, except the final judgment, ontil the Brant cae, woma two yuars or leas aince; and even that casn acems to have been heard In this Court, In the Crat {nstance, [n parsuanco of some szrea- ment betiween counael for the State and defendant. 1t ln{ case of like character preceded It, there is no reference to 1t In the report, and it must hare beun decided on molion, and no opinlon written, The fact that there 4 wo record of any such ap. peal la conclusive evidence that none such was taken, and thereby the construction given the atatute by the entlre_iiar of the State pretty con- clualvely appears, FEaprcially I this true when thia appeal, and other« now pending n this Conrt, have su promptly followed that decixlon, 1Ix it probable, ‘or even possible, that no occasion oc- cureed more than once during the brief period which has clapsed alnce that declaion? The fact that such canstriction has been given thut statute by the BSar does not bind us, nor is it Ly any mesns conclasive; and yet we regard it ana riron indicatlon that the conetruction placed on the statute In the Brandt case by a mljnlll{ af the Canrt s erroneous, Concurring In thie view, wo proceed briefly 10 state the reasons therefo The right 1o appenl ia_given by See. 4,50, from any judgment or declsions and Sec. 4,522 Nmita that richt to one yeor after judgment. Aditls certainly clear 6o ‘appeal can be taken until the judgment or decieion ‘1s made, why or fur what purpose isthe word ** judgstient’ put In Sec, 4,622, unlesn it means *final judgment ' And w'h{ are the words **action* or **deciniom ™ omitted from that aection? Can it bewald there s 8 1imit as tothe thine when an appeal miet be taken from the fudg- ment, but no aich it ax to o decislon not final ?n ita chinracter? We canelude, thercfore, that 1o ap- peal can be taken Ina ceiminal action untll Anal udgment han been rendered. The only remon riven in the Brandt cane for a different construction n the chinnze mude In the siatute nt the tme the Rtevisign wan enacted, The word **final ™ pre. cedes **jndzment * in See. 3,000 of the Code of 1851, and it is omitted In the cotresponding sec. tion In the Rtevision of 1RG0, and alsn, as we have scen, in Sce. 4,522, Code of 1870, But this pos- wesaes no vignificance, hecause: 1. In the Code of IH51, the word ** Judement, in every nstance an I{:pllt'«l to criminal activns, clear- 1y and withont doubt means final judgment. 2. That C'ode, in Sec, 1,814, provides that ali final adjn in clril actions sre judgments; but pessed express provision is made g8 to crim- fnalactions 3. Sec. #,084 of that Code providea that a 3. Sec. “*judgment™ o *ocler™ tnacriminal actlon mdy be teviowed In the Supreme Court. It be- canie neceasary, therefore, to provide that an, wsuch judgment or order could only be reviewes after final judgment, §f it wax the intention of the Lezirlature that no Judigment or order shonid be reviewed uatil Onal judgment or order was pronounced. 4. “‘Revivion, See, 3,121, Codo 2,840, defines a *judgment ** to be a (nal adjudiestion In no omitting the word **civil," contatned In e of 1831, o, Then follows Revielon, See, 4.000, Code 22, in relatiop 1o appesis in criminal eanes, pro- viding that no appeal can be taken until after Judgment. It will be seen that the omission of the word *‘final * from the section Inet referred to logically follows the other chauges made. If every Onul adjudication made Is s Judgment, then thete fean no appeal 0 n criminal action — until final Judgment, unless wome provison s made 1o the contrary. And the sime would be the rule as to civil actions. 1lence 1t In exprenely pruvided an appeal may be token from au intermediate order or declalon fn 8 civil actlon; but, thero being no such provision as to crimipal actlons, an appeal therefrom cun only be taken from the Judgmont which is & fual sdjudica- on. Justice Day flles the followlng supplementul opinion: . Although 1 expressed no Individual opinion In State va. Brandt, yet my conclusion that the ap- penl could be cntertained was grounded almost wholly upon the fact that both partice requested a #peedy determination of the quuetion presenteds and no suygestion was made that that apyeal vould not tie untll the petitlon for rehearing wus fled. 1T have no doubt thiat, upon this ground. the appesl wan properly entertaitied {n that care, The present caxe differs, in wy judgment, in & most material aud vital aspeet, Here n motlon to distniss thy ap- peal was made in limine, I now concur with my brothers in holding tha where such niotion Is thnely interposed, an appen) in criminal cases from a demurrer ought not 1v be entertaiued.

This tuvolves o large expense w the Unlted Btates Treasury, and_helps 1o one hut those who get their fees, Of course, a Commissfoner, I the exervise of sound discretiony und witn even s modleuns of kuowledge of law, would quash the casts ab the start, Lo break up this wholo business, Judge Dillun recently snude the following order: | Hereafter, no Cominissfoner of the Circuft Court of the United States fur the District of Towa shal} Lsaua any wierant Of brocesd, Wpuo BRY informa- tion made or fled by private persons or filcers nut belonging to the Internal Reveaue Service, for vio- 1ation of the Internal lovenue laws, Without first Iaylng auch information before Jamos 'T.

The Court haa also declded that ail misdemeancra and criminal suita, where the punishment ia not infamons, may be pres sented to the Conrt without the intervention of a Grand Jury, * This will cut off a large amount of the costs of the Court and lesson ths busl. ness of the Grand Jury. It s [émbi\hle the practice will he adopted In other Btates, and a much-needed reform carried out. —— A Curlons Craft, Torttand ($fe.) Press, Mote than alx years since, a New Brunawick farmer, Hving ofi the Upper 8t. John, took It into hia head'to bulld a vessel in which to take his family to Australle.

John. At that tine he had ex~ [n:ndcd every doliar he could ralse, including hie proceeds of the sale of hisfarn, Mr. Pome: roy, an American shipper, eaw the craft, and finding that 1t wna oo object. of cariosity, nd- vanced the money for an outflt and chartered her to take to Philadelphin.
