The Failure OF France.

The London Spectator thinks that II the
departure Of the Germans prove the sigma
Of an explosion, France now, as ever, will be
stronger than Assembly, or intrguers, or
soldiers, and will adopt some form Of admin.
istration which will be strong, and which In
some way or other will suit her national &C.
Mus. What this form will DO we arc Us un.
able TO divine as 10 divine why Napoleon
went to war with Prussia In the teeth Of his
own convictions; but We are more inclined
to believe that the form will be the one cx-
isting-a sovereign Assembly, TO which any
one may be elected, which merely by ex-
istence keeps oil careers wide open. II the
Comte de Chambord would abdlcate or 20 to
heaven, 1t might be easy to construct con-
stitutional monarchy, for that when legiti-
secures that opening for all careers and all
parties without which France Is kept sim
mering with fear Of violent change; while his
heir Ia q man ready TO accept the principle.
So, also, 1t might be easy TO construct a re-
publlc-we will not say Conservative, Il"
because the word has been abused
but so strong, or swayed by SO
strong man that It would have the power
TO conserve all that Is worth conserving, in
cluding the institution Of property. Il was
not King, but a mere president, removable
at will, who delivered so crushing blow to
the Commune In Its stronghold. Marshal
MacMahon may reign while he gives satisfac-
tion, the Assembly may vote while 1t creates
no disgust, but falling In either Of the condi-
tions France would see its way to the ejec-
tlon OF one or the dissolution OF the other.
Frenchmen, with all their outward fuss, and
haste and noise, are slngularly patient and
persistent. They may be hot, but no other
nation ever formed queue. They may be
shangeable, but no other nation ever adhered
as they have done, through all III report and
good report, to the Bourbons, or In later times
to the Bonaparte family, which, unless all re-
ports arc false, could, but for tlmidity In
Paris, have remained there still. They may
be variable, now sanguine and now despond-
ent, but no other nation has ever been so per-
sistent, not TO say obstinate, In two de-
clsions-that France must be great power
respected abroad, aud that at home equality
must be the ideal.

Sarah Hatfield, the spokcswoman; her father
aged about eighty; her sister, aged nfty; :
boy Of thirteen, girl of fourteen and two
dogs. They were barefooted and poorly clad
They represented that they were moving d
Lawrence, Kansas, and had come all the Way
on foot from Columbus, Ohlo-haylng walked
the distance because the railroad Companies
refused 70 transport their dogs. The affection
they had for the animals was such that tbey
would on no account consent TO separation,
An arrangement was finally effected with M,

sister, aged NIFTY, and the fourteen-year- old
girl, who concluded to make tho trip on foot

The DnryIulnu ProbIeu

tProf fiske in Popular Science Monthly for Oct, |
When Prof. Agassiz fairly comes to be in-
sane, II he ever does, and undertakes to re-
fute the Darwiuiau theory, these are some Of
tho questions he will have to answer: l. II
oil organisms arc not associated through the
bonds OF common descent, why Is IL that the
facts OF classification arc Just such rs they
would have been had they been due TO such
common descenta Q. Why does mammal
always begin to develop as II 1t were going
to become fish, and then, changing its tao
tics proceed, rs II 1t were going to become
reptile or bird, and only after great delay
and circumlocutlon take the direct road to-
ward mamalityl In answer 10 this, We do
not care to be told that mammal never was
the son OF fish, because we know that al
ready; nor do we care TO hear any more about
the free manifestations of an Intelligent
mind, because we have had quite enough of
metaphysical phrases which do not contain q
description OF some actual or imaginable pro-
cess. We want to know how this state Of
things eau be scientifically interpreted save
on the hypothesis OF q common ultimate orr
GIN for mammals, birds, reptiles and fishes.
3. What Is the meaning Of such facts as
the homologics.. which exist between cor
responding parts Of organisms constructed
on the same type2 Why does the black
salamander retain FULLY developed gllls
which he never uses, and what Is the
significance Of rudimentary and aborted or
gans In genoral' Again, say, we do not
want to hear about "uniformity OF design
and "Reminiscences of plan," and so on,
but We wish to know how this state Of things
was physically brought about, save by COM
munity of descent. 4. Why Is II that the
facts OF geological Succession and geograph-
ical distribution so clearly indicate commu-
nifty OF descent, unless there has actually been
community Of descenti Why have marsu-
plals In Australlasfollowed after other marsu-
plnls, and cdentata In South America followed
after other edsntata, with such remarkable
regularity, unless the bond which unites
present with past ages be the well known, the
only known and only imaginable, bond OF
physical generation2 Why are tho fauna
and iiora Of each geologic epoch In general
intermediate In character between the fora
and fauna Of the epochs Immediately preced-
and succecding2 And, 8. What are we to do
with tho great fact Of extinction II we reject
Mr.: Darwin's explanations When race Ia
extinguished, is II because OF universal
dclugc, or because of the free manifesto ations
Of an intelligent mind2" For surely Prof.
Agassiz will not attribute such solemn re-
suit to such ignoblc causes as insufiiciency OF
food or any other of the thousand causes,
"blindly mechanical" which conspire 70
make species succrhnb = the struggle for
