It could hardly be that ia a volume of over five hun- dred pages, detailing the movements of the professor and sketching dimly at odd times certain of his thoughts, one should not have a hint given here and there, in odd sentences, of the tendencies of science. Certain of these we have, such as this:—‘‘Out of such investigations there looms up a deeper question for scientific men, the sola- tion of which is to be the most important result of their work in coming generations. The origin of life ig the-great question of the day.’ Here ‘s smother: — “Tam often asked what is my chief aim in this-expedi- tion to South America, No doubt, ina general way, it is to collect materials for future study, But the convic- tion which draws me irresistibly is that the combination of animals on this continent, where the faun@ are so characteristic and go distinct from all others, will. gtve me the means of showing that the transmutation theory is wholly without foundation in facts.’ To the Large, Philosophical views taken by Agassiz that there is’ no reason to conclude that the original cause of animal life had a narrdw limit, or has even yet ceased to operate, the mutation theory is, of course, in no sense a necss- sity. “Hore are a few striking sentences :— Tm their earliest stages of growth all animals of the | Satue class are mach more alike than in their adult con dition, and sometimes so nearly alike as hardly to be distinguished. ladeed, there is an early period waen tie resemblances greatly ‘outweigh the di‘ierences, How far the represeptatives of different classes resemble one | another romaine to be ascertained with precision. | Phere are two poasibie interpretations of these facts. One ia tbat animals so pearly identical 1p the beginniug must Mave beon originaily derived. from one germ and are bat modifications or transmutations under vayious physical conditions of ‘this primitive unit. The otfier | mterpretation, founded on the same facts, is that since, | noiwithstauding this material identity in the beginniag, | nogerm ever grows to be different from its parent or diverges from the psttern imposed upon it at its birch, therefore some other cause besides » matorial one mast control its development; and, if this be 80, we have to geok an explanation of the differences between aniur ats outside of physical influences. Here the attempt is to escape from. facts that maki) directly for the transmutation. theory by a reference 4» other than ‘‘materia!”’ causes—something beside “physi cal influences.” What influences the inquirer would point to as affecting the piysical worla and not acting physically itis difficutt to see. Take, for instance, hist account of the robin and duck. Both.are, at a.certal time, webfooted. We cau understand that thore may be-stamped on the life of the robiu, im the very consii- tution of such brain as it has, even in its stomach, an instinct to seek its food. in such way es compels it to jive tp great part on the branches of trees; hence will | Feauit the sprouting ot the ves; while. the ‘instincts of | the duck lead it to a way of life that davelops web an weil ws toe, Hore would seem to bo the operation of | some vagne causes not evidentiy physical, But -where did then operation begin?

To the casual observer there exists unwonted quiet and inactivity throughout the precincts of this great naval station at the present period; yet, notwithstand- tng the vory large curtailment of expeuses made by the government in the reduction of their employés in the various branches of warlike industry, there is elit uch accomplished in the ‘perfection of our mari. time strength, and esselsof.war go and come, are docked for repairs, overhauled and generally rejuve- nated and improved throughout the year, of which bat liste ‘ever finds its way into public print’ Little worlds ves are those great, ore. biack coated oe ate Iyin the docks *' La bo ee Why is it that some of our music publishers-clothe trash in & most beautiful drees and bring out the works of such men as Schubert, Schumann. and other com- posers of like calibre in. homespun of the peorest ma- torial? We have seem some delicious songs aad brilliant piaue pieces by celebrated composers published in a atylo that would uofit them for the parlor or salon, while the worthless uonsevse of some musical chartatan is en- graved and illustrated im the moat clegant and artistic manner. The reason is obvious enough—the desire op the part of the publisher to cover up the want of merit in a piece by a fine dress. Again, we must protest against the publication of selections from some popular Opera with aay name attached to them ezcept that of the original composer, We have numerous airs from she “Grand Duchess," published in a separate and con- venient form,, with the titie ‘Arranged by Mr. Smith”? (or “Mr. Brown," or whoever it may be, staring usin the face. Now these selections ave taken, note-for note, from Offenbach’s opera, and not the slightest pretence is made towards originality. Why, then, place another person's name-on the title page? Tho following pubil- cations are taken up at random for review this woek, among the ‘arge-number thas eucumber the-shelves of some of the music stores: — Among same of the excellent danee music recently bhished. are the ‘Killarney Quadrillee,” by John J.
