The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1873-01-21

THE centennial celebration appears 10
be slipping through the fingers of Phila-
delphia. New York has been mentioned
as q good place to celebrate the hundredth
anniversary Of the nations birth, and the
suggestion has been made that every city
run it's own centennial celebration, and q
newspaper in tho East is unpatriotic
enough to enquire "why celebrate Fourth
Of July, 1876, with any more pomp than
any other Fourth of july" The fact is,
the people show very little interest in the
subject and the: press, with considerable
unanimity, is opposed to any appropria-
ton being made for the purpose by con-
gress.

Rnssia,s Last Grab.

The Moscow Gazette, alluding to GER
tain speculations in the English press,
based on assurances said to have been
given by Russian diplomats, says that
the announcement of Russia's intention
to evacuate Khiva after coRquering it
must not be taken for solemn promise
AS in the case of Samracand, Russia, In
dealing with Khiva, will be solely
guided by circumstances and her own
interests. Much more bluntly and sig
nifcantly speaks the Goloss, semi-ofi-
cial, as follows
"The question, what is to. be done
with Khiva when subdued, can have
but one answer. Tributary independ-
means simply an unbroken series of
murders, rebelliens, and interruptions
of traffic. AS for evacuating the khan
ate at the close of the campaign, it
would be virtual suicide. For those
who have once advanced into Central
Asia there is no retreat Our backs
once turned, the whole country behind
us would be ablaze in moment. The
forces of Russia, let US speak plainly
and boldly, can not and shall not be
withdrawn from Khiva when once III
their hands. Let the sneers of NJ. YAM
berry and his English colleagues rain
upon us If they will, what does it mat
ter? Russia is neither Burmah nor
Cashmere, that she should require to
secure herself by duplicity; she IS
strong enough to lay down for herseli
reasonable boundary. and to defend it,
if need be, by the strong hand. "

A SERIES of lecture

A SERIES of lectures on Mr.. Darwin's
philosophy of language has recently
been delivered by Professor Max Null
Ter, the distinguished philologist. He
maintains that there is at least one
great difficulty in the way of the theory
that man is the genealogical descendant
of some lower animal. Between the
whole animal kingdom on one side and
man even in his lowest state on the 9th
er, there is a barrier which no animal
has ever crossed, and that barrier is
language. 1t is true that one form of
language, the emotional, such as cries,
is common to animals and men, but ra-
tional speech is the prerogative of man
alone. The use of emotional language
is not unfrequently retained by those
whom disease of the brain has deprived
of all power of rational speech. The
roots of words, said the lecturer, are
our oldest title deeds as rational be-
ings, while no trace of them, or any
thing corresponding to them, has ever
been discovered among were the most
advanced of apes.

TUE FUTURE OF AMERICAN SCIENCE
The question what share America is to
take in the science Of the future is one of
much interest in connection with the na
tonal character, and which has lately be-
come prominent in public discussion.
There are not wanting those who maintain
that this continent is to take the lead OF
the world in the development of science
during the coming generations. National
vanity and spread-eagle patriotism are
probably not without their influence in
encouraging such ideas, yet they are sober
y held by many, on the ground that the
people of this country are destined to be
carried up to higher standard of intelli-
gence and mental cultivation than can be
attained By the people OF any other couu-
try. There is feeling among scientific
men abroad, however, that our mental ac-
tlvtty is au over-activity, and that the cir
cumstances here are not, and in the future
can not be, favorable to that deliberatiou
aud quiet, solitary mental effort which are
necessary for the extension of the bound
aries Of science 1t seems to be generally
admitted that the cultivators OF origina
scientific work must be class apart, re-
lieved from care, and leading secluded and
unexcited lives; aid the past history o.
science, it must be admitted, does much tc
justify this view.
1t is therefore claimed that our higher ed
ucation should provide especially for the
training Of original investigators, and tol
