pervades the whole body. and may burs. out

caused by mercural disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food impure air, filth
and filthy habits. the depressing vices. and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin. it is hereditary in the

Dear Comst.--I lssrned through your
columns, that on last Saturday evening,
the public were invited TO attend the adj
dresses 10 be delivered by members Of the
Sugar Bowl Debating Society," on The
occasion Of its anniversary. Here was
privilege was long DESTROYS Of obtaining,
for have always felt q warm interest In
the welfare Of the Society; and have wished
u every success. ] went with the expee-
tation Of being entertained i was not only
entertained, but edited.
II was evident, however that there was
damper on the spirits Of the members,
aud those present could not fail to symps
thize with them. Where, Dear Comet, were
the crowds Of admirlng friends, who were
expected to come forward and by their
presence encourage the young gentlemen
In their praiseworthy undertaking. "Echo
answers--"w here,"-an old quotation,
but most applicable here. Not more than
forty were present--F6,ty Oat Of a popu'a-
ton fur thousand. Are you not ashamed
Of Eaton Rouge, Comet 81 am.
Where were the ladies, whose fair pres
enee is always the proudest incentive TO
aspiring manhood. There were but few
present. and to them we all give honor.
Cogitatnv over the indifference shown
TO the Society," come 10 this conclusion,
that n In place Of the intellectual treat
which the members offered the people Of
Baton Rouge, on last Saturday night, they
threw open the doors Of Academy Hall
aud invited their friends 10 festive en-
tertainment- apswer me, Comet would
Academy Hall be capacious enough to hold
the gay galaxy that would assemble therel
., ladies', young ladies Of Baton Rouge
do not by your indifference throw discour-
agemsnt on the Sugar Bowl Debating So
ciety ask yourselves II these gentlemen
have not found in that society a safeguard
from temptation. Better. far better for
them to spend their evenings in the enjoy
men. Of intellectual development, than to
be exposed to the dangers Of idisness
But, despite the want Of appreciation
exhibited In the affairs Of tho Society by
the people Of Baton Rouge-H wili prosper.
The members might ~ well take for their
motto-"Aid yourselves, and God will aid
you" .
IL Ia needless here to speak Of the merit
Of the addresses. Those uho heard them ac-
kao'cisdged IL.
BE hopeful young gentlemen, your So
ciety is still In Its infancy. Ere long, the
people Of Baton Rouge will learn to esti-
mate its importance, and honor your ex.
ertions as they deserve to be honored.
Your next celebration will DO crowned
with success-but remember, you must
learn
I" To labor and TO wait"

The oRIes or srrorKs. DIR. Darwin's
book on this subject, is creating no little
excitement among the scientific and liter
airy men of the age. The Century says;
The general opinion in England is that
IL il exceedingly "clever," but that tho au-
thor's conclusions are not justified by his
premises. Picfst Of Geneva, closes an ella
borate review Of II by saying that lit will
be Of real utility to all naturalists, espec-
tally, If, while following the author in
his seductive augmentation, they know
how to stop in time, and do not allow
themselves to be led away TO deduce, with
him, the dangerous doctrine that unlimIt-
cd notifications can be tho work of accu-
mutations Of centuries"
Pictet has also examined the flint implo-
ments Of the remote epoch when man first
appeared on the earth. The more the
researches, tho futher does that epoch re-
cedo into the past. A paper read before
tho Geological Society, assigns period Of
60. 900 years, while Pictet suggests that tho
existence Of man on the earth at a period
earlier than is commonly supposed, may
be assumed from the extinction of aome
species Of animals. If the elk, boar hyena
aud mammoth we've destroyed by food or
change or climate, why were not certain
smaller species which still survive, dcs-
troyed at the ssme time The hypothe-
teal reply is that the largo animals were
sladg htered by primeval who used tho
store axes which we nov find en- bedded
deep in drills Of gravel.
Professor Anstel has given lecture on

fessor Philips, one on The Origin Of Life !;
