support. The order OF Jesuits Is excluded from
the benefits Of the other houses, but the
motion for their expulsion from Italy did not
pass. Similar legislation, although more rigid
in its enforcement, has recently been adopted
in Moxico by the enforcement Of an obsolete law
prohibiting religious persons from living in COM

OF last month, large number OF Paulists, Pas

shortly be taken to tho coast, whero they will
be compelled to embark for sonno foreign coun-
try. Among those arrested aro two claiming
American protection Thomas McCrealy, Of Bal

N. J., the one 1ayman and the other priest
but neither OF them Jesuits. The American
Minister, having been informed Of their arrest,

Mr. Scammon wants to send out On e1cursions.
This done, Mr.. 6cammon might next turn his al
tention to the adjustment Of tho financial misun-

there are so many obvious directions for the

his pntent on the organization Of free excursions.
There ia all the more reason why ho should

Prot. o. q. Marsh, Of Yale College, passed
through this city, ebort time since, With party
Of students to resume the scientific exp1ora-
tiona which he commenced two years ago in the
Western Territories. A summary Of the re-
suits Of his previous Investigations is published
in another part OF this paper, and it is not too
much to say that they are not surpassed in point
Of magnitude and Significance by thoss
found that the arid spaces and Tho alkai plains
lying between the Rocky Mountains and the
Wasatch Range, where nothing now suoslsts
but the sage-hen and few stray antelopes, were
oace peoplod by strange community Of extinct
vertebrate animals, which have not az yet been
found anywhere else On the earth's surface.
Over two hundred new varieties Of vertebrates
have been disentombed in this region, including
seventeen varieties Of the fossil horse, ranging
from the size Of the common fox to nearly that
Of the horse OF the present day-somo with three
hoof- to each foot, others with one hoof and two
toes and still Others With the eingle hoof Of the
horse Us We see him now. These were found
in the Miocene and Pliocene epochs.
It Is shown that the entire space between
these two mountain ranges WAS once covered
by the sea during the cretaceous or chalk
formation Of geology. Whom the sea sub
sided there were left vast lakes in the
hollows OF the surrounding land, which
have since boon fitted up with tho detritus
washed down from the neighboring mountains.
The beds OF these ancient lakes are the tombs
OF vast numbers Of turtles crocodiles lizards,
serpents, and fishes, while near their margins
aro found the remains OF four-footed animals Of
astonishing size and strength. One OF these,
first discovered by Prof. Marsh, WAS Of the size
Of the elephant, and it's skull WAS provided with
three pairs Of horns.. Lions, hycnas, foxes, and
cats Of extinct species we're also found, together
with several monkeys Of aIower typo than any now
existing. These latter had mosquitoes, neas,
and bed-bugs, larger than the existing varieties,
to torment them. No mosquito-bars, bed-bug-
e1terminators, OF other traces OF man are found
in the Eocene formation.
Prof. Marsh's second expedition, which he
has just undertaken, is provided With Govern-
ment escort, and, being thus protected against
the lndians, it is expected that the results will
be even more important than the former.

some Of his friends sought to obtain pardon

sidering that it was first given to
that the author anticipated great deal of the
scientific drift Of the present day, and that the
.'immanent necessary instinct" OF Nature that
he speaks OF has much to be said in it's favor,
He was not the first to declare belief In the
theory Of evolution. .Lamarck and Geoff1ey St.
HiIaire preceded him. But be espoused it, added
to it, and Eove it into body Of doctrine before
it was taken up by the English school OF Dar-
win, Huxley, Spencer, ct al, who have sincemade
1t peculiarly their Own. So ALSO he antici-
pated in struggling and confused way the
revelations OF the spectroscope and the "oon-
servation and correlation OF force" since DEM
onstrated by Grove, Carpenter, and Tyndall.
This is high praise indeed; but when the author
leaves the domain Of physical science and gets
upon the footing Of Kant and Hegel, which he
Affects so much to despise, his haels straight-
way fly upward and his head strikes the ground
without gaining any Of that recuperative virtue
which vse go profitable to Ant@us. His
book is, perhaps, the most finished product
Of German Materialsm, which is = moro danger

Mate1ialism which preceded it. How dwarfed do

arabic that VIC may call them two ra1no8 for tho
same thing. We have no right to assume that
the one continues ~ ex1st after the other has
ceased to erist. The brain OF man and his
menta, Activity differs from that OF the
]o"er animals in dogroo but not in kind,
just as that Of the dog diffors
from that Of the oyster. Il the
one has an immortal soul, they MI must be
endowed in 1ihe mannor. What is thought? Our
author gives q chapter to tell what it is not.
It does not stand in the same relation to the
brain az bile to the liver, Urine to the Kidneys,
for these are tangible, ponderable substances,
while thought is intangible and imponderable.
Nevertheless, the brain is the locus Of thought,
and. therefore, the seat of the soul. There
aro no innate ideas either mental OF
moral (ride .4ocke) On the contrary, all
ideas arc obtained from sensation, OK
perience, comparison, association. There is
no such thing as an absolute conscience. What
VIC call conscience allows the most contradictory
behavior in different countries and ages. Con-
science allows poiygamy in some countries, and
fo1bids it in others. It toleratcs, even requires,
the Offering up Of human sacrifices, in some
ages Of tho world, while in others it condemns
such sets % the e.treme Of cruelty, blasphemy,
and sacrilego. Among 6o1ae heFbarous and be-
sotted 1aces even Of this day it is impa6sihls to
find any conception OF the idea Of duty, or any
word in thar languages aignifying that this
ought to be done, or that ought not
to be done. II there were innate
moral ideas, or such thing es conscience,
they ought to be universal and invariable among
human beings. It is equally opposed to facts
to suppose thai The idea Of God is common to
all mankind. Did not tho Egyptians worship

While it is denied that the epidemic now pre-
vailing so fatally in the West is the genuine
Aslatic cholera, it is evident that there is some
thing wrong in the air this summer, causing .
very large mortality from various types of
bowel disease In the nor.h and northwest
this has taken the shape of dangerous types of
cholera infantum and cholera morbus, more
especially the former. In Brooklyn, last week,
of $50 deaths 25s were of children under five
years Of age. In Chicago the same alarming
increase Of infant mortality is noticed, and the
Baltimore Sun of this morning states that
''cholera infsntum is causing great alarm
among parents in Baltimore, the mortality
from thats complaint being fearfully large"
Thanks TO the exertions of our District authori-
ties in the way Of sanitary precautions, and to
our system Of wide, open streets, affording
thorough ventilation, Washington city is at this
time perhaps the healthiest of Its size In the
country; but ii will not do to remit any care in
the way Of preventing epidemic disease from
getting foothold here. Thecity has now q
good name for healthfulness, and this must be
maintained.
