The Darwinian Theory-The Monkeys
Hear Of it. and are Much Agitated In
Consequence. .--: ...'
Darwin's theory concerning the descent of
of man is creating a tremendous sensation
among the monkeys. They have just heard
of it, and are terribly exercised. They
repudiate the whole theory. That man des-
cended from them they consider slur on the
entire monkey race.
A cage of John Robinsen's monkeys held
an indignant meeting over the, matter, the
other day, after the performance. A vener-
able chimpanzee, whose gray hairs entitled
him to the distinction, was made chairman;
and, sitting in swing, presided with the
utmost dignity. He got little. excited in
his speech as he took the chair, but this
was pardonable under the circumstances.
"What r, exclaimed the venerable baboon,
"Man descended from US I repudiate the
idea with scorn. True, we have our faults.
We are accused of cutting up monkey shines
sometimes, and not without cause; but this
attempt to make us father the human race is
altogether too much. Is it not enough that
poverty requires us to travel around the
country in this manner to make livelihood;
to exhibit ourselves to gaping men, woman
and children, at so much head, (when two
thirds of them haven't any head at all to
speak OF, without having it flung into our
faces what We originated the pack of fools
styled men?"
His remarks were received with every
expression of possible delight to the monkey.
Some stood on their pyramidal heads, others
hung on by their tails, while others threw
flip-haps from one end of the cage to the 9th
er.
A monkey who had travelled much, and
seen great deal, and who had probably used
the cats paw to pull more chesnuts out of the
FIRE than any other monkey of his age, next
addressed his fellow-monkeys
Said he: "This darwin has inflicted dis
grace upon US that no monkey ofself-respect
will hesitate to resent. I fling his base
insinuations back into his teeth! A wild
chatter of applause.] If man was indeed
descended from US, what fall was there, my
countrymen! prolonged howla of derision.
i'll had this base slanderer of cur race-this
Darwin, who dar'scir fame by traducing us
would r-r.r---rend him in pieces with these
pentadactey. with this prehensile tail"
Immense cheering.] .....
The chairman interrupted the speaker to
remind him that no puns would be allowed.
Nobody but men perpetrated puns, and pun
was altogether beneath the dignity Of any
monkey who had the least respect for him

=. How TO SEE Down A WELL.-It is not
generally known says the Lancaster (Penn.) }
Intell,gencer, how easy matter it il to ex-
plore the bottom of well, cistern or pond Of
water, by the use of common mirror.
When the sun is shining brightly, hold a
mirror so that reflected rays light will
fall into the water. A bright spot will be
seen at the bottom, so light as to show the
smallest object plainly. By this means we
have examined the bottoms of wells fifty feet
deep when half full or more Of water. The
smallest bit of straw or other object can be
perfectly seen from the surface. In the
same way one can examine the bottoms of
ponds and river, if the waters be somewhat
clear and not agitated by winds or rapid mo-
ton. If we'll or. cistern be under cover,
or shaded by a building 80 that the sunlight
will not fall near the opening, it is only
necessary to use two mirrors, using one to
reflect the light for the opening, andthe other
to reaict down into the water. Light may
be thrown fifty or hundred yards to the
precise spot desirable, and then downward.
We have used the mirror with success to re-
feet light around house to shaded we'll,
and also to carry it from south window
through two rooms and then to q cistern un-
der the north side of the house. Half doz-
en- reflections Of light may be made, though
each mirror diminishes the brilliancy of the
light. Let any one not familiar with the
method, try it, and he will not only find it
useful, buta very pleasant experiment. 1t
will perhaps reveal mass of sediment at the
bottom of the we'll that has been little thought
of, but which may have been frightful
source of disease by its decay in the water.

long time. On the other hand, it is ex-
pected that the German mining corps has
advanced its works to the immediate vi
cinity of Fort Valerian, and that when
the explosion of these aggressive works IS
ordered, that the great fort itself will be
in danger. So. taking the news in what
ever shape we may. the hopes of Paris
seem to be few. and :es safety Of very un-
certain limit.
With tie occupation Of the CAPITA! Of
France, the prospect for peace will be
very cheering. King William will find
in Paris the men with whom he can treat
and whose treaty will most probably be
accepted by the country. lntelligen;
Frenchmen will see the uselessness Of
prolonging war which has ?rostrated
the finest country in Europe. and which.
in its means of destruction, seems to be
Irresistible. They will console them
selves with the reflection that a.! nations
have suffered defeat. and that their re-
sistance has been worthy Of the race that

The SITUATION IN FRANCE.

Unfortunate Paris has, no doubt, parted
with another of its illusions before now.
Prussian shells are falling inside Of the
city at fearful rate, destroying palaces.
burning novels and killing the people,
and all this, Notwithstanding the almost
official announcement that the German
guns were old-fashioned and defective,
and that the diameter of the line of out
side Notifications was too great to allow
hostile projectiles to enter the city. Per-
haps, if the Prussians had remained where
they first encamped, their siege guns
might not have molested Paris, but the
fact is. the Germans continued to advance
FIRST sweeping away two or three outer
forts, and then planting their batteries in
more commanding positions The conse-
quence is that shot and shell are now
making it decidedly uncomfortable to the
Parisians, and the heart of civilization"
is being compressed into a still more
limited circle. The end seems to be
inevitable, then, that if the Germans hold
their advances and continue to make
others, as they have always done ia their
own good time. Paris will soon he i'll their
possession. Literally. IL Trochu does not
surrender, he will be bombarded out of
town.
The defeat OF Chanzys army leaves
Paris without any hope Of early relief
from the outside. Bourbakis movement
to cut the lines OF German communica-
ton is hopeless project, because it is
undertaken in the face Of all the German
reserves. IF he had acted with the army
of the Loire, when Chanzy was fighting
within hearing of Paris, the latter might
have been materially assisted, and the
hopes of sortie from under the gates of
Fort yalerian III CHI baya been insured.
But the opportunity "a, io,t. Caalzy WAS
defeated, the German arnlie, were left 10
pursue Bourbaki. and The investment OF
Paris was made more complete.
1t is suggested by Russell, who seems
to be the best military critic at present
writing from the immediate scene of &C
ton, that Trochu is now moving all his
disposabh men, arms, provisions and
munitions to Fort Valeriap, with the ulti-
mate design of giving up Paris and con-
tinuing his defense from an immense en-
trenched camp, which he is now forming
at that point. Fort Valerian is on the OPP
posite bank of the Seine, due west from
Paris, and consists OF. q village and an
elevation capable of being defended for a |

with a good company. Old Ben is creating
an interest in theatricals throughout the
interior by giving dramatic entertain

is the desire, coupled with the means of
gratifying it. If Ben DeBar can create
the desire by familiarizing the rural COM
munities with theatres, the railroad, will
soon afford the facilities for transporting
the public to our metropolitan temples Of
amusement. We, therefore, assume that
the present tour of Manager DeBar and
his company is fraught with beneficial
results, of which we shall see the outcome
by and by.
