TIE CONVENTION.


All things considered the Convention was
in every respect q remarkable success.
Thirteen counties In West Tennessee; elev-

were represented. The delegates were
representative men, and with one accord
deeply imbued with the grand object for
which the Convention had assembled. Per-

Political Notes.

Democracy is evidently dead in Washington
County. There will be no county convention
under that name.
The Democrats of Aroostook county have
nominated the ticket of the Peoples meeting
with.the exception of Clerk of Courts, B. l..
Staples, ESQ.,, being nominated for that office
instead of j. Frank Holland.
Three conventions having been called in
Somerset county, the Democratic, Liberal and
Peoples, to nominate one ticket, wag sent
note to one of the fuglers, suggesting that
the three close their exercises by singing
"When shall we three meet again ?''
The following nominations were made on
Thursday by the Democrats of Alfred:
Senators, Ichabod Cole of Elliot, Samuel
Waterhouse of Lyman, William A. thompson
of Newfelo; Clerk of Courts, G.N. Weymouth
of Biddeford; Attorney, C.R.Ayer of Cornish
Treasurer, DR.. A. K. P. Meserve of Buxton
Commissioner, Abner Oakes of South Ber-
wick.

vain. That species died out too.
My experience in wild hybridS is not such as
to give me much confidence in their ability to
found species.
The theory i'm plies developement in the as
cending rather than in the descending scale
up from primoidal to man-contrary to the
common opinion that the downward is the easy
sliding scale. Among all animate things the
changes are as often downward as upward.
This is especially true of cultivated spec.es.

teriorate, unless special efforts are made to
keep them up.
OF fossil species, where we can trace them
from the beginning to the end, it is doubtful
whether they improve. Genera, families, nat
ural orders, and classes in the animal kingdom
do as whole improve for time and then de-
generate and perish miserably. The genus
Cyrtia is the only exception remembered. 1t

TO THE PURIIC.

THE PAIN-KILLER manufactured by PERRY
DAVIS & SON has won for itself a reputation un-
surpassed in medicinal preparations. The univer-
salty ofthe demand for the Pan-Kiler is a novel,
interesting, and surprising feature in the history of
this medicine. The Pain-Kill is regularly sold
in large and steady increasing quantities. not only
to general agents in every State and Territory of the
Union, and every Province in British America, put
to Buenos Ayers Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Chill, amp
other South American States, to the Sandwich
Islands, to Cuba and other West India Islands; to
England and Continental Europe; to Mozambique,
Madagascar, Zanzibar, and other African lands; to
Australia, and Calcutta Rangoon AMI other places
in India. 1t has also been sent to China, and we
doubt if there is any foreign port or any in
land city in Africa Asia, which is frequented by
Amerc an and European missionaries, travellers or
traders, into which the Pain-Kiler has not been
introduced.
The ertent of its usefulness is another great feat
ure of this remarkable medicine 1t is not only the
best thing ever known as everybody will confess
bruises, cuts, burns, &C., but for dysentery cho-
era or any sort of bowel complaint, it is remedy un-
surpassed for efficiency and rapidity of action. In
the great cities of British India and the West India
Islands md other hot climates it has becom the stand
ard medicine for all such complaints as well as dys-
pepsa liver complaint, and other kindred disorders
For coughs and colds, canker asthma and rheumatic
difficulties it has been proved by the most abundant
and convincing trials and testimony, to be an invalu
able medicin.. The proprietors in possession of
letters from persons of the highest character and
sponsibility testifying in unequivoca terms to the
effected and the satisfactory results Produced in
endless variety of cases by the of this great
medicine That the Pain-Killer is deserving of all
its proprietors claim for it is amply proved by the
unparalleled popularity it has att ined. 1t is sure
aud efectire remedy. 1t is sold in almost every
country iu he world, and is becoming more and

Anti-DarWinism.
PROF. SWALLOWS PAPER ON THE ORIGIN OF
SPECIES.

A large number of the cultivators of science
have believed in the integrity of species. They
have based their investigations on the hypothe-
sis that certain organic beings are alike in all
their essential characteristics; that each has a
well defined beginning, will produce its kind,
and that each series will maintain its identity
indefinitely to the end.
But they have at the same time admitted that
individuals may be somewhat changed by vari-
Gus causes, such as climate, food and habits,
and that such changes may be fostered and
transmitted, especially by mans care; that va
rieties with marked variations may be produced
by special causes, but that when these causes
cease and the original conditions are restored Lhe
variations will rapidly disappear, and that the
varying series will return more or less perfectly
to the original stock
But at the beginning of the present century,
Lamarck, St. hilaire, and few other dstn-
guished savans, were led by numerous facts to
ADOPT and promuigate theory of Development.
That inorganic matter is deyeloped into the
lower orders of organisms, and these in +nrn
are developed into higher orders nntil m.n 10
produced. Thus all species and orders . &C o 30
ganic beings were brought into existence and
developed by natural laws without The ;n,an ,.ni
vention of final causes
The PRONUNCIATION of this theory created a
profound sensation, though the world was then
absorbed by the most important political events
of modern tines But Cuvier. Lnnaeus. and
Others so successfully defended the immutabl-
ity of Species that nearly all scientific men
continued to believe in the integrity of species,
notwithstanding the rudmentary organs and
other facts adduced by Lamarck in support of
his development theory.
But Dear the middle of this century the
"Vestiges of Creation appeared, reannounc-
ing the Theory of Development and extending
it far beyond the limits indicated by Lamarck
The work presented a formidable array of facts.
carefully collected from all departments of nat
ural science.
This work led to many able and often repeat
ed discussions of the theory, in which its oppo-
nents seemed to have decided advantage in
tne argument, and the belief in the immuta-
eellty OF species held its position in the scient-
nc world, though some doubted and entered
ject. -
Some ten years later, Mr. Charles Darwin and
Mr.. Alfred Wallace promulgated a theory ao-
counting for the origin of species by variations
