EXPRESSION OF THE EMOTIONS IN MAN
AND ANIMALS. By Charles afwin.
The issue of this work has been eagerly
looked forward to, not only by scientists, but
by the general reading public. As the fruit
of careful observations began as early as 1888
aud continued up to the last year, it will
command attention from the opponents of as
well as adherents to Mr.. Darw'n ms creed.
The work is written in singularly unag-
gressive tone, and is so free from technical er
pressions that it becomes easy reading TO t ose
even who have given no study 20 natural
history. The writer establishes with great
clearness the fact that many of the most
notice bic of the animal expressions seem at
first to have been eerviceable as means of
self protection, as, for example, the showing
Of the teeth by dogs, or the setting up of the
back by cats, both of which are terror-in.pir-
ing, the one on count Of the suggestion OF
biting, the other because ofthe exaggeration of
size. The con iliatory attitudes he refers to the
principle of ''antithesis," that is, the relaxa-
tion of all muscles that were strained to ex.
press hostility, as the crouching attitude of
the dog These different expressions he as
sumes to be governe4 by the imar. STRONG
feeling Of contrast. ''The tendency ner-
form opposite movements under opposit.. sen.
sations or emotions would, i we may iudoe
by analogy, become heredi airy in long prac-
tice." 1t seems to us that the origin Of the
practice is involved in some obscuri,v rho
the origin being once assumed, the autbor,.
deductions are very skilliully drawn. The
whole theory is based upon the ASSUMPTION ot
conscious contrast. But those who cannot
follow Mr.. Darwin's reasoning in this partic
ular, will still find much in the work that is
worthy Of their most serio S attention. The
admirabl style in which it is written, and the
Illustrative incidents with which it abounds,
make it as entertaining as romance.

SERMONS by the Rev. T. Dewitt T,lmage
Vol. 2.
TIL ,se sermons are in the usu"l ervid,
highspiced and sensational style of their au
thor. The very titles Of til EN- are made with
a view to dramatic effect; for instance "The
Wings of the Almighty ''God's Battle
'sT.. White Hair of>Jesu.," ''The Poultice
thst cured the Carbuncle," "The Battle OF
the PITCHERS" and many others of the same
class. Whether this ultra sensational kind OF
preaching does good is q question admitting
OF an immense deal of debate; but whether
good or bad it is certain to be heard by many
people and this book will be largely read. 1t
is handsomely bound and well printed.

The shah Going Home.

Mr. Twain is relieved of great RESPONSE
bility in the departure of the Shah from the
shores of Great Britain. Long shall the
memory of the Persian remain in the land of
John Bull, and, as his doings have been
described by one of Americas most favored
children, long shall the pathetic story survive
on this side of the Atlantic. The shining
Asiatic will carry back to the land Of his sires
no more consoling thought than that which
tells him he hos been chronicled by Mark.
Weary of sightseeing and sound-hearing he
will return to Teheran longing for the con-
genial quiet of his palace, relieved by the
pleasant occupation of signing death warrants
or ordering more taxes. Our dispatches re-
port that the Shah is hurrying home
to quell an insurrection somewhere He is
afraid, evidently, that he may arrive too late
for the fun of chopping off the heads of the
rebels-when they are captured. We are not
informed whether he will take Baron Reuter-
along to share in the august sport but it
might do the latter good if he went. Mark
hazards some feeling hopes that the Shah will
take back some impressions of good govern
ment from what he has seen. He will have
his choice between Russian, Prussian, Eng
lish and French ideas in the matter of Just
government, which, if they do not confuse
him too much, may give him some useful
hints. He will have splendid g couragement
in the matter of standing armies, for instance.
Then, too, Russia will give him the knout;
Prussia will give him good, safe press law;
England will give him Lord Mayor show and
Dissenters Burial bill; France, through her
Assembly Debates will teach him the glories
of free speech and how to bury voltairians or
Zoroastrians, as the case may be. All of them
will give him an idea how selfshness can be
masked in servility; and when he has learned
that the Lord Mayor has been made q baronet
for entertaining royalty in the city he will
establish great Persian ''Order of the Royal
Free Lunch for the encouragement of his
hospitable subjects. He will have learned that
poverty, misery and crime are as close to
European palaces as to his own and this one
touch of nature may make him think more
kindly Of the outer barbarians he has been
visiting. He is said to have mistaken tele-
graph poles for gibbots, and as we have no
indication that bis error has been corrected
he may enlarge ON the thought by hosting
Baron Reuter- on the nearest one when the
Baron refuses to hand over any more than the
stipulated share of the profits of their little
partnership

THE ALABAMA INDEMNITY FUND.

In the transmission OF the Alabama indemnity
fund OF $15, 100000 to the United States the Eng.
lish government availed itself OF three American
banking houses In London-J. S. Morgan & Co.,
Morton, Rose Co. and Jay Cooke, McCulloch q
Co. The bankers determined to transmit about
one-han through the ordinary channels of ex-
change, and accordingly Drexel, Morgan Co., Of
New York, have drawn bills for 81, 900 (about
$4,000, ,OOO on the London houses, and sold them,
that amount being placed to the credit OF England
on this side. 1t Is not the intention OF thu
bankers to transmit any additional sum In this
way; but the balance IS to be sent over through
the shipment Of nve-twenty bonds to the amount
OF 81. 500 900, considerable portion OF which have
already been obtained. The transaction in ex.
change was managed quietly, at the instance Of
the chancellor OF the Exchequer, who was afraid
OF the effect publicity might have on the market
The bonds Will be turned into gold at par, making
the full amount Of the indemnity.

BILE that the situation, as between England and
Russia, is rendered more delicate by this treaty
arrangement The two great rivals are brought
nearer each other, and the position which Rus
sia has won in Central Asia will prove of
mighty advantage in further aggressive
efforts.
1t will be seen from the despatch that Mr..
Schuyler, the Secretary of the American Lega-
tion at st. Petersburg, has returned to Tash-
kend After experiencing considerable diff
culties in his travels through Central Asia he
was favored at Kurgan with glimpse of the
Khan at the distance Of some five hundred
feet Mr. Ker, who is now known the wide
world over as the author of the 'Irreclaimable
Old Savage" and who travels in Central Asia
in the interest of the London Telegraph, has
fallen into the hands of the Russians, and is
detained by them ON the Jaxartes.

MIR. Clements Markham, Secretary of the
Royal Geographical Society, on the
Results of tho Expedition.
(From the Ocean Highways for July, 1871
MIR. Clements Markham, of the Royal Geographic
cal Society," London after speaking of the valuable
geographical results acquired to science by the
Polars expedition, says:-
Another very important feature in the voyage OF
the POlars 10 the lact that she was safely drilted
out into Baffn's Bay from high northern position
in the strait. This proves that the ascertained
current keeps the ice IN motion and carries il
south, thus preventing any long interruption OF
the navigation. The safety OF government expe-
dtion is thus assured Tor 1t is quite clear that the
dangers OF the Arctic regions are. In most ln-
stances, the direct consequences OF despatching
ill.equipped and inadequately supplied vessels,
dangers are thoroughly understood, and most OF
them can be Obviated by modern appliances and
experience. Two vessels stationed at suitable dis
tances could keep up communications with each
other, and with the whalers which annually lre-
quent the 'North Water" OF Batiins Bay while.

There Is q third feature In the voyage of the
POlaris which strengthens the argument in favor
of exploration by Smith sound At the Winter
quarters, in 81 3S north, the climate was milder
than It Is further south, and animal life abounded
including musk oxen. This account cOrroborates
that Of DR.. Hayes, who was able to supply his men
with plenty OF fresh provisions In the less h0spita.
bic region near the entrance Of Smith Sound. A
government expedition, with properly organized
hunting partes will be able to obtain considerable
supplies OF fresh meat, and thus add to the pros.
pect Of maintaining the men in health ana vlgor.
Under such circumstances there Is no healthier
climate thar that OF the Arctic regions.
These Considerations are sufficient to show that
the highly important scientific results OF Arctic
exploitation can be secured without undue risk.
