ANOTHER EVENING WITH DARwIN.-The
hall of the Natural History society was again
filled, last evening, with an audience interested
in the discussion on the Darwinian theory. Mr.
Nathaniel Paine presided and and the discus
sion was participated in by Messrs. j. f. Smith
and 7, Nj. Limb and Major Harlow in defence
Of Mr. Darwin's conclusions, and by DR.. Spauld-
in%, Rev. Harris L. Greene and b. W. Potter,
Esq, in opposition. The discussion brought
out but few points not treated of in the previous
discussions, Major Harlow objected to the
turn given to the discussion by certain gentle
men opposed to the theory under discussion,
and commended that the question properly be-
fore the house for consideration was, not whether
the Darwinian theory is absolutely true, but
whether the theory is not the most plausible and
natural explanation of the present conditions of
life, and whether it ought not to be adopted, in
the absence Of a better. He contcndcd that
evolution" properly understood, would OK
plain the forms of existence seen in the vcge-
table and animal world, and argued that the
word, in its true sense, is Synonymous with
Creation"
Mr.. Greene believed the very fact that it was
admitted that evolution gave rise to forms of
existence showing design, fitness, proved
that the result was not the effect of the sO-calcd
natural selection, or evolution, but that supe-
rior intelligence controlled the relations of mat
ter, and created forms of life. The discussion
between Mr.. Harlow and Mr.. Greene attracted
much attention, and the speakers were led
away from the main subject into arguments con-
corning the ncbular theory, the "fncss of
things" etc. Mr.. Potter made a special attack
on Mr.. Darwin's theory concerning sexual selec
ton, contcndng that it did not account for the
apparent deficiencies found in following the
other theory, of natural selection, to its natu-
raj and legitimate conclusion.
Mr. Smith claimed that the fact that no re-
mains or fossils of the "missing links" in MIR.
DIrwin's cline of descent had been found was
no proof that such Intermediate forms of life
had never existed. He contended that the in
formation now possessed by scientific men,
concerning the fossils and remains OF ancient
forms Of existence locked up in the unexplorcd
regions of the carth is too meagre, too imper-
feet, for us to claim that no such intermediate
links had ever found existence. He would
have the investigators in the field Of science
wait for further explorations and more perfect
developments before giving a final decision on
the great theory advanced by Mr. Darwin.
DIR. Towne read humorous paper on the sub
claimed, "at the lend" of the matter Mrs
Baker explained more fully some remarks made
by her at the last meeting.
