Among these relics are a snuff-box presented to General Washington by Lord Fairfax, a liquor stand, baptis- mal font, siver oasters, etc. Mrs, Frances Washington Finoch with be- coming modesty desires that the gov- ernment shall fix the price to be paid for these artioles, Congress should by all moans purchase these relics.

No man of science and no philoso- pher of the present age, if we except Herbert Spencer, has exercised more influence upon ourrent thought or oxcited wider contention among his contemporaries than Charles Darwin, whose death occurred on Thursday in London, at the ripe old age of 71 years, He was born at Shrewsbury, on February 12th, 1809, and received his education st the grammar school of his native town, at the university - | of Edinburg, and at Christ college, Cambridge, where he took his degree of M. A, in 1831, Predisposed from youth to scientific pursuits, he sailed the same year in the ship ‘‘Beagle” as volunteer naturalist in the survey of the coast of South America, and com- pleted the tour of the globe before his return to England, five years later. when he published his first work, re- cording his observations, which has been declared the most entertaining book of geuuine travels over written. Subsequent works were the *‘Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle, ’ (1840); a treaties on ‘‘Coral Reefs,” (1842); on “Volcanic Islands,” (1844), and “Geological Observations,” (1846). Tn 1859, after a long season of study and laborous observations, he bronght out his famous work on the “‘Origin of Species by Means of Na- tural Selection,” a volume which has made him famous throughout the globe and whose production marks an ora in the philosophic thought of the century. Darwin has often been called the father of evolution, In a strict sense this is not true, Hints of the theory t1at the universe as it now exists is the result of an immense series of changes, related to and depending upon each other, are found as far back as Democritus and Leukippos of the old Atomio schooi. Leibnitz and Kant in cosmology and Buffon, Woltt and Goethe in biology advanced posi- tive theories on the subject, while it is to Liord Menbaddo in 1774 that the suggeetion of the origin of man from the apeis fizst due. Lamarck, Geoffry, St. Hilare and Alexander Von Hum- bolt early in the present century con- tended that species are not immutable and Richard Owen in 1850 referred to the struggle for existence as a cause of destruction of types least fitted for the conditions around them and proposed the theory of the origin of species by “derivation” in preordained sucoes- sion. Mr. Darwin’s peculiar theory is based on the theory of evolution but not identical with the hypotheses of any of his predecessors. Accord- ing (to Mr. Darwin the ‘change in species and varieties has been due to =a process of natural selection operating through food, cli- mate, station and condition and the number of living beings with which the organism has been surrounded. These influences have limited or ex- panded plants and animals, weeding out little by little those less fitted for the struggle of existence and slowly but surely raising the type. In his work on the ‘“Descent of Man” (1871) Mr. Darwin applied his theory of nat- ural selection to the human racs. The volume, which was merely a logical continuation of his former work, ex- cited scarcely less interest. It dis- played & profound knowledge of the facts of science, untiring labor in the collection of materials bearing upon his theory und remarkable powers of generalization, But its conclusion has been anticipated by the ‘‘Origin of Species.” The hypothesis of evo- lution of Lamarck, and the theory of evolution of Owen and Mivant, had become the doctrine ol evolution ac. cepted by nearly every chair of science in Ruropean universities and the foundation for the researches of "hun- dredsof acientists in every oountry on the glohe. It is Mr. Darwin's groat glory that his marvellous collection of facts bear- ing upon his theory furnished the ma- terials for the excellent work of scores of his contemporaries. The 'great law of evolution was stud- ied in every department of the universe of thought in every branch of soience, aud made the basis of the moat comprehensive philosophy of the day, Much of the credit for this great stimulstion of research is due to Charles Darwin, While his theory of natural selections in evolutionary progress is not to-day held is gen- erally as it was a few years ago, evo- lution as a doctrine forms the basis of the freshest and deepest of current scientific investigation. A search through the leading educational in- stitutions of the world will find its advocates holding the most promi- nent chairs in Dblology. With no exoeptions, every leading paleon- trologist of the day is an avowed fol- lower of the doctrine of evolution, and those who oppose the application of the theory to the origin and de- velopment of the universe and its inhabitants, are growing fewer in num- bers year by year as new researches and new discoveries of ancient life prove more and more conclusively the truth of the dootrine. E——— OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Parliament reassembled on Monday after the Easter recess and has ac- complished Lttle of tnterest during | the week. The votes already taken show by will pass and this may be accepted as the posi- tive strength of the Gladstone minis- try above their party opponents, This is less than one-half the majority with which Mr, Gladstone went into office and the loss is due chiefly to his ener- gotic efforts for land reform in Ire- land, which has alienated from the liberal ranks a large portion of the whig following. Mr. Gladstone’s per- sistency in his efforts to reform the land laws of Ireland is in strict ac- cordance with his past record as a conscientious and enlightened statés- man, The Irish people twenty years hence will gladlyadmit what to-day they deny, that from the day in which he became a power in Englmh politics Wm. E. Gladstone has been the firm fwend of 1rish reform. No English- man of equal political rank and weight has staked his political fortunes so of- ten in cfforts to redress Irish griev- ances, In his last premiership he risked everything on the disestablish- ment of the Irish church, and though he carried that important measure through, his influence was so weak- ened thereby that the Irish univers- ity bill tailed and drove him from office. When, after long retire- ment and a desperate struggle against seemingly odds, he again obtained the reins of the government, he could not, feom a political point of view, have been severely blamed had he avoidéd this dangerous rock altogether, by giving Irish affairs no more attention than was absolutely necessary; leaving them to run in the old ruts during the briet periods which the limitations of already advanced age assigned his ad- ministration. But he plunged at once into what he knew would be, and certainly has been, a sea of dif- ficulties, with as much ardor and de- termination as if he were thirty in- stead of beyond three score and ten. He deliberately sacrificed the ease and peace which a policy of “masterly in- activity” would have secured him, and opened s battle in behalf of Ire- land which he will not live to see the end of, That the land bill is not all Ireland ought to have, may be conceded; and there is little doubt that its author is for from satisfied with it,and would gladly have brought it nearer the league standard if he could. But he went just as far as he could go without wiping out the liberal majority in parliament, and thereby restoring the conservatives to power. Such a bill a8 Mr. Parnell and his followers de- manded would not have obtained a hundred supporters in both houses, and within forty-eight hours after the test vote was had Gladstone's resigna- tion would have been in the hands of the queen, and Ireland at the mercy of the party which believes—or at least has always acted as if it believed —that Treland has no rights which England is bound to respect. Kven the most enthusiastic member of the league will admit that the land bill is better, very much better, than noth- ing; and that in any event it will, when fairly in operation, improve more or less the condition of the ten- ants. The persistent, uncompromis- ing and vindictive opposition of the landlords is all-sufficient proof of this; and therefore, we insist that Mr. Gladstone deserves, from every true friend of Ireland, thanks rather than abuse. He has done what he could, and all he could to lighten the crushing burden under which the Irish tenant has groaned for centuries; and he has done more— let it be borne in mind—than any other man living or dead could have done. Without his personal prestige and influence the land bill would never have reached a second reading —indeed, would never have been in. troduced at all; and even with this prestige and influenoce it could not have become a Iaw had it not been preceded by tha coercion act. That act, which is the most potent ocause of Glad- stone's present unpopularity with the Irish, was absolutely indispensable to hold the liberals in and out of parlia- ment together, Had it been withheld ~—and the government hesitated long before presenting it—the introduc- tion, to say nothing of the passage, of the land bill would have been simply an impossibility, Alexander IIT is to be crowned Em- peror of all the Russias in May, if the Nihilists in the meantime do not suc- ceed in sendiug him to join his father, The assassination of General Shelm- koff at Odessa, and the discovery of dynamite mines under the cathedral where the coronation is to take place, has made it evident that the Nihilists in Russia have not abandoned the ‘‘execution” of government officers odious to them, as pavt of their pro- gramme, and the prompt measures taken by the goyernment to have the assassins tried and sentenced, and, as is most probable, promptly put to death, indicates that the mild and oonciliatory policy with which the Russian government was recently oredited has had to yield to the strain of ciroumstances. The era of good foeling seems to be as far off as ever, and the state of nervous irritation into which the doings of the Nihilists have thrown the Russlan government may therefore be looked upon as no loas strong » factor in the policy of that government than beforé. 1o this oconnection » piece of news published the German Ultramontanes, is of par ticular interest, It is that an agree- ment has been effected between the Russian government and the Pope, securing to the Catholica in Russia freedom of worship, This spring the oxiled bishops shalt be permitted to return to Russia, and their pastoral Jetters shall no longer be svbjected to a consorship. It is eaid that the Rus- sian government, in view of its diplo- matic isolation in Europe, wants to be at least on the friendliest possible terms with the peoples subject to its rule, and that this agreement with the Pope is mainly intended to conciliate the Poles, whose good or bad humor would be & matter of great import- ance to Russia in case of an inter- national con flict. Rumors regarding the release of the American suspects in Irish prisons are conflicting. Our gevernment has urged, with great emphasis, the necessity of their immediate trial or rolease, and it is certain that the slleged American citizens were of- fered their liberty upon condition of at once leaving the country, A Dub- lin dis patch to the New York Herald that all imprisoned Americans were unconditionally diseharged lacks con- firmation. Parnell, meantime, re- mains at liberty, although the time of his parole is said to be ended. Whether this is with the consent of the government is unknown, although it is believed that he will shortly re- pair to Kilmainham jail and again yield himself up to its keepers, His thort period of liberty has had no noticeable effect upon the league, which reports its entire outlay at £126,000, with a balance on hand of £69,000, Bismarck’s scheme for increasing the German imperial reveaue by means of a government monopoly of | th the manufacture and sale of tobacco is likely to fail. Contrary to all gen- oral expectation, the economic coun- cil, which was called together by the chancellor himself about a year ago, with the avowed object of giving counsel and scientific or technical aid to the government in reference to fiscal undertakings, has refused its ap- proval of his favorite measure, the to- bacco monopoly bill. This was the last thing that Bismarck had expected from it, and the London Daily News correspondent says that he ‘‘feels this defeat most keenly, and seldom has been s0 vexed and excited as when he heard the result.” This rejection of the proposed bill by the economic council by no means implies its de-: feat, The council is, indeed, merely the chancellor's private and extra- constitutional parliament, and he is in no way bound by its decisions, The ultimate fate of the government bill rests with the reichstag, and it is impossible to predict what, in its pres- ent factional condition, may be done in that body. It appears, however, that public opinion throughout the empire, while favoring a higher tax on tobacco, is unmistakably adverse to the monopoly. The result of the chancellor's present conflict with the imperial parliament will be watched with interest. TItaly appears to be making progress of a very eatisfactory kiud, and re- joices in budget surpluses. That of last year was, it seems, nearly $10,- 000,000, and that for the current year is estimated finally at $126,000, after allowing for $2,600,000 of increasea expenditure on military purposes, Taxes are being reduced, especially the grist tax, perhaps one of the very worst imposts in existence, which it is proposed to clear out of the way by 1884. The floating debs is also dim- inishing, the treasury debt being now only $26,600,000, as compared with $45,000,000 in 1878, The finance minister, Signor Malignani, therefore foels jostified in taking an optimist view, Hois sanguine that the good financial position of the country will guarantee the abolition of the forced paper currency, and that the country is making solid progress. The im- ports and exports had together in- creased by $20,000,000 last year as compared with 1880, and the facts are altogether very reassuring. Only one thing should we like a little more ex- planation about. What is the amount of the ‘‘extraordinary expenditures” each year, and how is it met? The ‘‘extraordinary expenses” of the army alone are apparently put down at about $65,000,000 for the yeara 1880 to 1885, and telegraphic summaries do not make it clear what relation these have to the ordinary budget. The working classes of Berlin céle- brated, » few weoke ago, the anniver. sary of the chief street-fighting there during the revolution of 1848. The graves of the numerous civilian vic- tlms were visited and wreaths were deposited upon them. No color ex- ocept white was permitted to be dis- played. Each wreath was carefully examined by the police, who removed one or two that were deemed objec: tionable. from Great Britain to Canads promises this season to be very large.

Such a bill is simply an insult to the intel- ligence of the country. Worse than that, it is a proposition to add to the already burdensome exactions of rail- way corporations, a tax for maintain- ing a useless board of railroad com- missioners whese only function will be to draw from $5,000 to $10,000 a year each out of the national treas- ury. —_— EDUOATIONAL NOTES.

It was sufl;eflted at a recent teachers’ meeting in Boston that practical knowl- edge of proctical things might bs gained in school by means of an unceremonious talk between gupils and teacher—the e the minimum and the pupils’ the maximum, “Let a chiid,” said the teacher who suggested the practice, “‘make some observation on what he has suen in the last few days, and then induce the others to talk on the same subject. After a few days let each write out what hehas heard, and thus impress the matter on the minds of thu_pxi\f:ih.

He points out the iujustice and aiscouragement that necessarily follow this trouble when, as is too often the case, nelbhc:lrnpnpfl nor teacher realizes that it is not dullness nor obatinucy, but defective hearing, that gives the child the appear- ance of a want ot understanding. Among the various uauses affecting the pupil’s hearing, Dr. Sexton mentivns with some particularity the state of the teeth, careful examination having proved to him that this is a constant source of aural difficul- ties. The doctor's statements in them- selves present a strong argument in favor of the regular examination of school chil- dren by skilled physicians. The Schools of the State.
