Miss Cleveland Draws the Line Between Modest and Immodest Toilets, A Boston special to the Philadelphia Press Says: A friend of Miss Cleveland has given to the press the following letter in reply to some recent criticisms of decollette dresses worn by the mistress of the White House at official recep- tions: “Tam very glad you have spoken to me about this matter, for it gives me an opportunity to Say to you, and through you perhaps to others, what I have long wished, but have had no op- portunity to say. The newspaper statement with regard to my ‘immodest dress’ and its influence in encouraging *shoeking scarcity of waists and sleeves’ in other women’s dress has been sent me several times, with accompany1 comments, but always anonymously, so that have been! unable to reply had I deemed the nimus of the communication honest enough to justify an honest response, That has not always been the case; but today I received a note from a person who speaks of himself as an aged clergyman, who signs his full name to the communication ‘and seems to be genuinely cou- cerned and frieudly, although 1 scarcely can reconelle the ‘true interest and true ‘respect’ with which he has given it, apparently, to the statement which forms the occasion of his pro- est. “I should hardly feel true Interest or true_re- ‘t for a person whom I believed to be doing ‘i the newspaper slip represents me. to be ng—i.e., using the brief prominence of my position t encourage habits in dress and anners which are subversive of ‘Whatsoever things are pure, lovely, honest and of Te rt.

DANA ON EVOLUTION. Me Believes that Most Species Can be Accounted for by the Darwinian The- ory. In concluding his series of lectures at Yale last Saturday on evolution Prof. Jas. D, Dana, the eminent geologist, said that natural causes have been sufficient, man and some other ani- mals excepted, for the evolution of species from other species. The strongest men in in- tellect and will are gradually taking possession of the world, thus exemplifying natural selec- tion, and this is seen in Great Britain's oceupa- tion of many parts of the globe. Previous to 1859 it was supposed that species always ex- isted in the same condition they were then found. Now this has vanished largely, owing to n’s “Origin of Species.” All the methods of association of species are natural selections through which Darwin hoids species originate. The causes of migration of plants and animals are very great, the most important being the change of sea level. Remains of tropical species are found in Great Britain, showing that that country, once united with the continent. North “America was once joined to Europe across the Arctic ocean, thus allowing the pas- sage of animals and birds, Winds carry many hundreds of miles small insects, seeds, &c. We know thata kind of evergreen, now the gigantic trees of California, exists in the Arctic regions, Where remains of it have been found, and these trees must have passed to the Arctie region from either the American or European side.

He Talks About His Australian Trip and His Losing the:Race to Beach. From the Montreal Witness, March 15, On Saturday afternoon a Witness reporter noticed two quiet-looking citizens in a sleigh on Notre Dame street, and recognized the world-renowned oarsman Edward Hanlan, of Toronto, with bis friend Mr. Sam Coulson, who was a member of the Hanlan club. The recog nition was mutual, ana in a few seconds Mr. Hanlan was relating his reminiscences of the antipodes. The history would leave room for little else in the Witness, but a tew remarks may be summarized: “Tunderstand they treated you well in Aus- tralia, Mr. Hanlan?” “Oh, too well. If had been a prince or a king they could not have done more for me. I never saw or experienced anything like it. They treated me too well for my own good as an oars man going there to row for the championship of the world. They are the most hospitable ple Lever met. They covered me with gold and loaded me With diamonds, so tospeak. Nothing could exceed the attention they gave me. I've had a royal time since I saw you last, I tell nea? “ How did you lose that race—tell me?” “Well, I can tell you that I never was in such aplace in my life. Iwas pulling along from the start, ag Talwaysdo, you know, to feel my. man. I had him beaten, and was well within myself. I was looking at him, and had it set- tled in my own mind, when all at once a shadow made me turn my head, and right above me was that huge black iron-clad hull of the steamer. I nevér felt such a sensa- tion in my life. My heart seemed to stop, and I thought I would stop too, but some: thing in me gave a jump, and I pulled ten strokes as Ihad never pulled before and never can again, You may judge of the terrible strain when I tell you that in these ten strokes I left Beach ‘five boat lengths behind. The people of the steamer told me their hearts were in their mouths, thinking the steamer was upon me, When they saw me go away like that they gave a great cheer. But the race was over tor me. I knew it. Now you take the poorest amateur that ever pulled an oar, and I could no more beat him five lengths in ten strokes than I could fly; yet I had the fastest Kind of man behind me and did it. You can imagine the strain there was upon me and. the fright that produced such spasmodic action. Beach told his friends afterward that he was about to stop rowing when he saw my face and. then made up his mind to goon. I knew I was beaten. As to the second race, I knew I could not win it, and told Laycock so before I started; but he would not Ifsten to me, and lost £500 on the race, saying that I should be able to beat Beach with my eyes shut and in any condition. J had bad hard Jack in training, too. There is no doubt that that was against me. The cli- mgte, too, had its influence. I am told your style has been copied in Aus- tralia very much?” “Yes; Iwas not there 24 hours when they had my measurements, measured my sliding seat, my boats, had my rs before @ car- penter—knew ail about my rig and were gen- erally posted.” «Do you think your double-scutling work had Col adverse action upon your single-sculling style’ “Yes; there is no doubt avout that.

[do not think it would be injurious to me after a part of the season had been spent insingle scull Towing; but to row a double scull race, then step into a single scull boat for a first-class race —I found the ditference.” “It is much the same as a long-distance man training tor short races, I suppose.” “Yes, much the same in so far as alteration of style 18 compared to alteration of stride and Gitickness of action.” Hanlan is to leave Montreal to-morrow and will spend some time in Albany, where he has Some business to do.

Henry Ward Beecher’s many accomplishments not the least is his ability as | story teller. To much amused listeners he recently told this one about a New York drum- mer. A typical “knight of the grip sack” was detained at a small town in western New York awhile ago where a revival meeting was in progress. He had met a party of convivial friends during his stay there, and had what is popularly known as ‘a load on.” Nevertheless drifted into the revival meeting and took a, seat weil np in front. It was rather close in the chureh and the warm air was conducive to sleep. The drummer vielded to the drowsy god, and after nodding a little sank into a profound slumber and slept through the minister's rather long and dry discoursi The audience sang a hymn and the drummer slepton.

The clock marks the years and leap-years, and will run for a hundred centuries, when its me- chanie works will have to bechanged.

A Puzzle in Jurisprudence. TWELVE JURYMEN DECIDE BY BALLOT WHAT CAN NEVER BE ASCERTAINED. Avery singular case has occupied the atten- tion of the court in Hocking county, Ohio, dur- ing the last week. It was an effort to determine who are the lawful heirs to an estate, the owners of which were murdered. The important point to settle was which of the three murdered per- sons died first. A man suspected of being the murderer was arrested, tried and convicted on circumstantial evidence, and sentenced to the penitentiary for lite and died there, withoutim: parting any information on the subject of the erime for which he was convicted, and as the real estate had to be disposed of, according to the laws of the state, the necessity of this suit became imperatiye. " Three persons were mur dered—Mr. Weldon, Mrs. Meclurg (his si and her daughter, Mrs. Hite. If Mr. died first his estaté would descend to Mrs. Me- Cturg, it she died next her own and her inher- ited property would go to her daughter, Mrs, Hite, and trom her to. her nearest offkin ou her father's side; but if Mrs. MeClurg and. her daughter died before Weldon the heirs of the latter would inherit the property. The ease de. manded the close attention of the court for a full week, and ended by the jury finding that Mr. Weldon died first and Mrs, Hite last, hones ‘she inherited her mother's property. +s ummer arose.
