GERMAN RATIONALI8M.

Dr.. Strauss, the co~worker with Ernest Renan.
in the defence OF rationalism in Europe, has
just published q new work at Leipsio called
. der Alto urd der Heue Claude" CThe Old and
tho New Faith). which is destined to make as
great stir and excite as much animadversion
az did Renan's Life Of Jesns' when It frs:
appeared. In ce1tain manner, it is issued as d.
challenge to, tbs orthodox world, aud
it will, therefore, have to be met. It
is put forward with peculiar German
boast and defiance. In the introduction the
author says that Germany having triumphed in
the field against her physical enemies, it is now
time for statement OF the religion with which
she intends to attack and overthrow superstition
in the human mind. This is clear and bold
statement, and it may be presumed that the
forces Of +superstition" will not DO long in
r.1lying or carrying the war into Germany, aad
that the brilliant and learned Strauss will have
occasion to use Ill his resources, both to parry
and thrust The Berlin correspondent Of the

The value OF these figures, Incomplete as they

Of fees and salaries paid to Assessors, Tax Col

and the amount Of revenue received from
sources other than taxes on property. Other
information may be included but the actual

Competitive Examination in China.
Dr.. Hitchcock, now on viait to China, writes
to the Amherst Student an account Of tho Chi
nese fashion Of conducting competitive e1amina-
tions for literary degrees. The trial occura once
in three years, and is held in> an immense yard
containing about nine thousand cells, each Of
them about air feet by four. Into one Of these
brick cells, with whatever food or light he may
choose to furnish, each candidate takes himself
to write hia essay; going On one evening
at which tina the essay must be finished
During these thirty-si1 hours he remains entirely
by himself. Tie essay is examined first With
reference to chirog1aphy and orthography- II
there is any defect here, it is mcrcilessly con-
signed to the waste basket It il then sent to
the copyist, and atterward sealed up for the e1-
aminers- All the essays are given to two assist
ant examiners, who examine them, each oue
Aone, and under the watch OF monitor. The
papers by this time ate Trimmed out. and those
that have borne tho trial are handed to tho two

W0MAN's RIGHTS FRoM 4 DARWN1AN
STANDPOINT.

DR.. Louis Buechner, German philosopher
and naturalist, concluded = lecture. which ho
delivered in New York . few evenings since on
Woman's Rights, with Goethe's wel1-hown
continent: "Das ewig Weiblche zieht uns
hinan." The words could not be better applied
than to the successive developments Of the
Woman's Rights movement, though tho scnti-
ment in this modern application is very differ
ont from that which Faust probably entertained.
Dr.. Buee;lner himself has been adding some-
thing to this " Ewig Weiblicha which continues
to agitate the community. He has reduesd the
issue to scientific basis. He is inclined to
make tho Darwinian theory Of Evolution the
means OF demonstrating the right Of woman to
political equality. He meets the opponents Of
womAn's suffrage On tho laws Of Nature, Which,
they claim, have constituted woman the inferior
to man: The selection Of species and sexes, Dr..
Buechner Maintains, proves that man has simply
developed the highest organic production, and
that he does not naturally occupy the exceptional
position Of superiority which be now holds over
woman. In proof Of the proposition that the
male and female principle in life balance each
other, it ia cited that In the polygamous
States OF the East more girls than boys
are born, while in polyandric communities
(where the custom OF plurality Of husbands oh
tain) the boyB exceed the girls. In animal life
there are many instances in which tho female is
the stronger and more active element Of the two
sexes thera are q number Of the lower species
Of animal life in which the smaller and weaker
male is characterized BY DR.. Brechner as mere
appendix or parasite Of the female. That Kind
Of generation which is known as sez1ess is also
quoted in diaproof Of any natural inferiozity On
the part Of females. The scientific approval Of
the Wouan's Rights doctrine is found,
then, in the doctrine that the present
distinctions between men and women
in the social relations ere simply the
result Of habit. They came, We will say, from
the go1i1ls tribe, which divided their family du
ties- The male gorilla undertook to defend his
family from enemies, while the female nursed
and sheltered the young. This Was the way,
perhaps. that human beings in prehistoric

| age whose motto is Universal Equality.
"Das ewig Neibliche' has begun to make
havoc with the Conservatives Of England. Tho
John Bull, We are told, expresses the opinion
that the Tory party will cordially support tie
claims Of women to thefranchise whenever they
arc householders and tIe possessora Of
property, az that party believes tho right

Church aud Tory journal, and the Standard fol-
lows with its approval The Telegraph, on the
other hand, says, more pointedly than scientia-
cally: "Why should not new elections turn on

also arrays itself in opposition, though in q
more digni6ed fashion, and tells tho Con-
aervativo party that tho adoption of
Woman Suffrage twill bring immense dis
credit on the party consistency" It will DO
seen from t1lia that Woman Suffrage threatens to
become party warfare in England, ii not in
this country. There is no doubt that, whether
we look at Dr.. Bnechner's scientific inconsis-
tencies, or Miss Anthony's unrewarded martyr

ber OF the New York Herald, Issued May II,
1885, contained money article forecasting q
Wall street corner in stocks, and waning the
young merchants and dealers to be careful. The
general idea Of the Herald was from the first
what it is now, bat alr. Bennett WAS obliged to
do all the work himself, for which he subse-
quantly provided numerous and able assittsnts.
From 1885 on, journalism spread aud grew at an
amazing pace, forming another distinct era be-
tween that year and 1872, with which tho public
is familiar in q general way.
II Mr.. Hudson had postponed his history
few years longer, he would have found it neces-
sary to fix another era Of journalism "a distinct
aa its predecessors, and dating from 1872. This
is the Cru nov upon us Of declared independence
in the newspaper world The New York Herald
independence. There are now signs OF q change
in its Tone Having achieved riches beyond
measure it seems disposed to achieve character
as we'll. The theory held by the elder Bennett
was, that journalism should be respectable
enough to keep the editor out Of jail, but not
enough to avoid horsewhipping, and that it
should treat Ill public questions with cynical in
difference and contempt.
Mr. Bennett expiated this b3rbarous theory
By living as Parish in tho midst Of men, and
dying as an outcaat in the midst Of riches. The
ideas Of the younger Bennett seem to be more
elevated, and the Herald Of the future promises
to take rank with the public instructors Of the
day. The field of Independence in journalism
has widened very muck Of late, md bids fair to
comprise, within very few years, nearly an the
drst-class Journals Of the country. When that
time comes, wo hopo Mr. Hudson may still be
among us to writo the history Of the movement.
