what Agassi. Thinks.

In his twelfth and last lecture on
Brazil, delivered In Boston, Prof. Agas
siz devoted the concluding portion oi
his remarks to tho subject Of the mon
key tribes, and defense Of the Profess
sor's theory that the different races oi
men have different origins. This, he
said, was an awkward subject, and one
which he dreaded to discuss, though Ii
was relieved from some Of the embar-
rassment which surrounded ii while
slavery existed, when the assertion ol
the infcriority Of the nogro was regard
cd as q defense of the system ofslavery.
The discussion was also unpleasant, be-
cause 10 involved dissent from th e
doctrine Of common origin which the
Christian world has SO long held sa-
cred.
Yet he felt bound to express his con-
viction on this subject. While regard
ing the monkey tribe az the highest III
the quadrupedal mammalia, and rs next
to man, he could not sanction the coc.
trine Of the final transformation of mon
keys into men, and was not inclined to
admit that we are the descendants OF
the highest monkeys. In this connec-
ton, the lecturer remarked in an inter-
esting manner upon the characteristics
VI GhC hnouhSyy tihS OuLuhB -out"hSp tiic
chimpanxce, the gorilla, and the glib
bon, making them az families distinct
from man, though In many points hav-
ing affinity, yet having different pa
rentage. Considering the regions from
whence these money tribes derived
their origin, 1t must be concluded that
II they were allied TO any Of the races
of men, 1t was the to the Mongolian and
the negro, and not to the white, but n
critical examination Of facts would not
warrant the theory Of transmutation,
or the doctrine that men have COM
mon origin The fact that the progeny
of combination OF individuals of two
races never.resemble one or the otherpa-
rent, warranted the inference that the
different races bear to one another the
same relation as different species Of an
imals bear to each other, and that all
have different origin. Perhaps, i'm
deed different nationalities also have
different origins.
In conclusion, the lecturer said that
unless the fact Of common origin
could be established historically, we
must accept the conclusions deduced
from the Investigations Of naturalists.
If we could troce plan of variation
and succession through all nges, instead
of regarding diversity as the result of
accident, we should see the evidence of
a thinking mind In the whole creation,
and recognize ourselves as the children
OF God, and not as the children ofmon-
keys.

1t was an unusual day in Washing
ton. The greatest of the pulpit orators,
the youthful and gifted Sunlmerfield,
was to preach for the first time i'm the
city. The fame Of his marvellous ell

one was anxious to hear his melifiuous
voice and soul stirring words. Elo-
ton ut that time: Webster and Clay,
and the gifted contemporaries, were
winning forensic laurels. But their
brilliant gifts were expended on tenn
porai themes, and stopped there. A
man was now coming who looked up
on earth as vanity, and the theme OF
whose elOquence was eternity. Men OF
noble statue and proud and lofty bear

quenchable thirst for fame, had APP
pearcd again and again In the political
arena of the Capital; but a man
WAS now coming whose thoughts
centered in theory, and whose face,
rejecting the soul on which the sun
shine Of heaven perpetually shone, and
was one of almost ethereal beauty. AT
am early hour the church where he was
to preach was crowded, and multitudes
were unable to gain admitance. II
was decided to leave the church and
