keys:-What Professor Agassiz
Thinks About h1''.r '.fH. r.

\
In his twelfth and last lecture on Brazil,
delivered in Boston, Professor Agassiz de-
voted the closing portion of his lecture to
the subject of the monkey tribes, and de-
tense of the Professors theory that the diff
ferent races of men have different origins
This, he said, was an awkward subject, aud
one which he dreaded to discuss, though it
was relieved from some of the embarrass-
ment which surrounded it while slavery
existed, when the assertion of the interiori-
ty of the negro was regarded as defense
of the system of slavery. The discussion
was also unpleasant because it involved
dissent from the doctrine of common origin
which the Christian world has so long held
sacred. Yet he felt bound to express his
conviction on this subject. While regard
ing the monkey tribes as the highestof the
quadrupedal mammalia, andashext to man,
he could not sanction the doctrine of the
final transformation of monkeys into men,
and was not inclined to admit that we are
the descendants of the highest monkeys
In this connection the lecturer remarked in
an interesting manner npOn the character
istiCs of the monkey, the orang outang, the
chimpanZee, the gorilla, and the giDbon,
marking them as families distinct from man,
though In many points having affinity, yet.
having different parentage. Considering
the regions from whence these monkey
tribes derived their origin, It must be CON
cluded that If they were allied to any of the
races of men it was to the mongolian and
the negro, and not to the white but crit
ical examination of facts would not warrant
the theory of transmutation, or the doc-0f
trine that men havea common origin. The
fact that the progeny of a combination of
individuals of two races never resemble one
or the other parent warranted the inference
that the different races bear to one another
the same relation as different species of
animals bear to each other, and that all
have different origin. Perhaps, indeed,
different nationalities also have different
origins. inTut 7rjr01saI 'uygM 9lt 1Ioi II
In conclusion, the lecturer said thatlun,,
less the fact of a common origin could be
established historically, wemust accept the
conclusions deduced from the Investigations
of naturalists. five could trace plan of
variation and succession through all ages
instead of regarding diversity as the re-
suit of accideht we should see the evidence
of. a, thinking mind in the e,whole creation,
and recognize ourselves as the children of
God, and not as the children Of monkeys.

We learn from gentleman, just from Pom
totoc County, Miss., the scene Of the occur
renee of tragedy which occurred there last
Tuesday evening. Our informant says that
the safety and quiet of the citizens in that To-
cality have been interfered With, for some
time past, By the 1awless doings OF smail
gang of men, headed by desperate villain
named Mcdonald. On the evening OF the
day mentioned above, about eight clock,
Mcdonald and three of his clan, went to the
house OF highly respectable old ar,ne,,
whose name is given as King, for the purpose
OF robbiug him Of considerable amount of
money which it was thought he Ind al his
residence. Mr.. King resisted the demands
of the villains to deliver over his valuables
and money, when the latter made violent
assault upon him and his daughter, who see m
TO have been all of the family at home that
evening. After u desperate resistance, Mr.
King was shot dead at the hands of some of
the robbers, and his laughter severely pierced
through the chest, which viii, it. not s.lready,
prove fatal. The noise Of the melee reached
the ears of some OF the neighbors, who pro-
ceeded to Mr.. Kings premises fast as
possible armed with guns. The rapidity Of
their approach, after the Preparation OF the
crime, brought them upon Mcdonald and
his band before they had found the treasure
which had been the incentive to the bloody
deed. The robbers tried to escape, but two
of them were successful in the attempt.
Mcdonald was killed, and one of his desper-
ADDE'S captured, after being felled to tine earth
with the butt of gun. Great excitemen:
prevails IN the county, on account of the
murder of Mr.. Hing, and the fendish shoot
ing Of his daughter.
