The scie utists Of the Darwin-TyndaIl school,
who, with such complacent assurance, set up
their crude assumptions from hastily collected
data, TO undermine faith in the truth of scrip-
tuTe history, occasionally catch a sharp ran over
the knuch es from men Of science who pursue
truth witt equal zeal, but with less bias and
disposition TO make facts conform TO pet theories
Prof sassiz, in his SOath American exp!or-
stons, finds in the Galapagos Islands, a locality
where the phenOmence of life presents a rather
awkward dilemma tor the Oar xinian biologists.
These Islands are al extensive archipelago OF
most recent Origin-inhsbited by creatures
notably different from any known in other parts
Of the world. They are SO recent" say the
Professor, ''that some OF these Islands are bare
ly covered with the most scanty vegetation, it
self peCul 70 these Islands; some parts OF their
surface are entirely bare, and a great many
cIaters arI lava streams are so fresh that the
Atmospheric agents have not yet made m i'm
preston upon them. Their age does not, there
fore, 50 back 10 the earlier geological periods
they belong 10 our time, geOlOgically speaking"
- Whence. them; continues the Professor, =. do
their Inhabitants come, animals "a well as
plants" II descended from some other type,
belonging TO some neighbOring land, then it
does not require such unsPeskabiy long periods
for the Transformation of species as the modern
duNOCdttS u Claim anu the mVS-
terry OF change, with such marked and charac-
teriStic differences between existing species, is
only increased and brought to a level with that
al creation. II they are autochtones, Ii e.,
springing from the place. from what germs did
they start into existence?"
The scientists have laid Il down with
such positiyeness that the transmuta-
ton of species was the work If long
ages that the fact has been accented without
question; but now told, by one whose
authority IN matters of science is second to
none, that in these islands the most marked
changes in animal life have taken place within
period comparatively recent So it seems
that the scientific infdels don't know every
thing; and "what they do know, they don't
know certain" and this ought to be a matter
of eongratuIstion to the great mass of plain
commOn-sense people who ind it cOnsoling TO
believe IN a God, and hereafter somewhat
higher IL an the clOds of the valley.

The Ba.,imoreans now seem to think that the
heavy failures In that city will not result As
disastrously TO business interests there as was
feared lt is admitted that, for brief season,
the aggrt gate OF bank deposits will be dimin-
ished; but, at the same time, it Is conceded that
the bank accommodations, though temporarily
lessened IN volume, will be more equally diffdsed
through all the avenues OF trade, and will be
diverted into healthier channels. The Gasetts
says that it has been well known, for a long
time past, that the great mercantile house of
Kirkland, Chase & CO.-whose business trans
actions amounted to from twelve to thirteen
millions OF dollars a yeaT-tOgether with the
houses with which, in commercial matters, it
was more OF less affiliated, has been carrying a
heavy Load of Indebtedness; that its borrowed
and lent account was enormous, and that its
daily requirements, and the necessity of meet
ing them, absorbed large sums of money which
would otherwise have been available In pro-
netting tie general business interests of the city,

HONESTY and its ANTtTUESlSj
\ LAY SERMON.
(IAp rItp pnsr \
(FOR THE POST,

II there be one single trait OF true
manhood which prcdominantly distin-
guiShes its posSessor as the nobIest of
bis kind it l. HONESTY. A man may
possess genius that will enable him to
shine in society, like the brilliant me-
tcor, dazzling with the splcndor Of his
corruscations all who come within the
glttcr,ng circle OF his radiance; but if
he lacks honesty he is dencicn, in that
which a,onc entities an individual TO tho
confidence of hi, fellows One may
have social position and be prominent
for the elegance of his attire, but S.i-
on, honesty he is unworthy the COM
panionship of pure woman or an hon
orablc man. He may, be generoua but
if he is dishonest he is unworthy the
name Of friend. He may have wealth
in such abundance rs to command evc''v
luxury that elegant taste requires TO ST.
tiatc cultivated desire. and yet, If lack
ing honesty, he is not entitled to the re-
Spcct Of the community in which he re-
SIDES. He may he highly cducatcl-la-
miIiar with the progress made in the
arts and ,cicuccS-au adept in ella ic
literature. aud so thoroughy verscd in
all the couveutonalitics of polite .occ-
~ rs that hi, name may be the SYNONYM
of The polished gentleman; yet if lie
lack honesty his deficiency in that stcr-
ing and essential attribute of good
man is only the more conspicuous. Such
. man is by reason of his many advan-
tagcS the more ineXcusable for the dark
blot which mar, the cNcellcncv OF his
character. Honesty is OF ncomparably
more worth in the estimation OF an hon.
O%blc man than riches or rcuoWn. The
truly honest man possesses conscious
rcctiiudc, which is it, own sure and suf
ticieut reward, and OF which he cannot
be deprived by adverse circumstances
or ihccvil.miuUcd. He should fear no
evil. The vile ton.dc Of the slandcrcr
need not disturb him; orthc poisoned
word, Of the cNvious ruillc the placid
cfuonlmi.y OF his temper. Though nc
