THE PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE.

In the last instalment of Mr.. Herbert
Spencer's exposition of the philosophical
system which is to give us an explana
tion--so far as an explanation can be
given-of the whole universe, we meet
with an interesting passage upon the
passion of love. The advocates of the
evolution hypothesis are sometimes
called materialists. That word is too
ofte used, as atheist" is used in theo-
logical or a good round oath in poular
discussion, simply to indicate disagree
ment coupled with moral disapproval.
The fallacy which it involves in this case
might be asily exhibited. The genuine
materialists of the last century were, in
fact, given to maintaining that our
loftiest sentiments were merely modifi-
cations of the most earthly instincts.
"Iust through some certain strainers well refined
Is gentle love-"
according to Pope; and some very
equivocal sermons have been preached
upon this text. Superficial readers
have fancied that, because Mr.. Darwin
or Mr.. Herbert Spencer believes that
man has been evolved by inconceivably
minute changes from some inferior
organism, therefore our emotions and
thoughts are nothing but transforms
tions of the blind sensations of the low
est forms of life. The misconeeption is
palpable. Science might conceivably
show under what condition intellect
first manifested itself, but it would not
be one step the nearer to discovering
what was the essence Of intellect. 1t
might explain the how, but can throw
no light upon the what. Thus we find
that Mr. Herbert Spencer's description
of the passion called love has nothing in
it calculated to shock the most spiritual
philosopher. 1t is, he says, IN emotion
OF the highest complexity, and conse-
quently ofthe greatest strength. Around
the purely physical elements gather all
varieties of powerful emotions, which
blend and unite in the closest harmony.
First come all the impressions which. are
produced by the beautiful, the expla
nation of which would involve long
and most difficult analysis. Then VT
have the sentiments of affection, which
may exist between persons OF the sam'
sex, but which undergoes a special ex
altation when existing between lovers
Next come the sentiments OF admiration
or reverence; and, beyond them again
the love Of appreciation, which is keenl.
excited by the knowl edge that we ar
preferred to all the world, and preferre'
, by one whom we admire beyond al
. others. Allied to this is the sentimen
of self-approval, when we are hattere'
I by the sense Of the great merits to whicl
, We owe so great triumph. Beyon'

The Washington Star has an article on
tho 0'Kelly case, which is believed to reflect
the opinions and feelings in official quarters.
In the case Of 0'Kelly, it must be remember
ed that he went to Cuba as an independent
naturalized American citizen, not as parti-
san, and that he has never disguised nor at
requested permission to go into the Cuban
lines as newspaper correspondent, and the
Spanish authorities gave him leave to go, but
also gave him the comforting assurance that
he would be shot If he returned. Subsequent.
ly the Spanish General, in whose Jurisdiction
O'Kelly was, modified his threat, and said he
would Danish him il lie returned. O'Kely re-
turned, was arrested, and or ders given for his
trial as spy by coult martial. A late dispatch
says that two letters from President Cespedes
were found on his person, and if this is true,
his case is made considerably worse. There
is no Disgusting the fact that o'Kelly has been
guilty of serious offense, that the Spanish
authorities would be justified in sending him
out Of the country, but they are not warranted
by the fact in treating him as a spy, for the
reasons that he lacks the distinctive features
Of spy, viz: Disguise We trust that Gen.
rorbett, the American Consul General at Ha-
vana has taken firm stand in the matter,
and has placed o'Kelly's case in such light
to the Spanish authorities that they will con.
tent themselves by sending him out OF the
country. AS matter Of policy they would
find it great bunder to execute him.

FROM WASHINGTON.


--Sergeant-at-Arms Ordway, Of the House,
having received large number of 10 ters from
members, telling him that they did not intend
to draw the amount due them on tho salary
steal, applied to the First Comptroller for his
opinion and advice. The latter decided that
the letters were sufficient to authorize the cov-
ering of the money into the Tres 'ury without
any further authority. This will b. matter
Of surprise to a large number, some Of whom
had said they would not draw their money until
the storm had abated and the matter had
gone ont Of the public mind. They supposed
that they could notify Ordway that they did
not intend to draw their money that it would
thus lie subject to their order for two years,
when it could be turned into the Treasury.
The Comptroller said the Department was
very lenient about receiving money, and there
were no rules prohibiting thereceipt of money,
but it was more difficult to get it out

These tiny loiterers on the barley's beard
And happy units Of q numerous herd
OF playfeows, the laughing summer brings
Mocking the sunshine ON their gttering wings,
How merriy they creep aud run, aud hyl
No kin they bear to lab)r's drudgery,
Smoothing the velvet Of the pale hedge-rose,
And where they fly for dinner no one knows
The dew-drops feed them not they love the shin
OF noon, whose suns may bring them golden wine
All day they're playing in their Sunday dress;
When night reposes they can do no less
Then 10 the heath-bell's purple hood they hy,
And, like to princes in their s,umber, lie
Secure from rain aud dropping dews, and all
On silken beds in roomy, painted hall.
30 merrily they spend their summer day,
Now in the cOrn-helds, new the new-mOwn hay.
One almost fances that such happy things
With c0ored hoods and richly FURNISHED wings,
And fairy folk in splendid masquerade
Disguised, as If of mortal folk afrai.,
Keeping their joyous pranks mystery still,
Lest glaring day should do their secrets i'll.

For her kingdom il herself

Soft dark hair,
With the sunlight sleeping on 1t
Where it wanders from her bonnet
She has dimpes round as pearls,
Oh SO coy and fair.

They may be
Blue to-day as healthier bells,
Brown tomorrow a. deep wells
With the sunlight stealing through,
To show their depths to me.

For the good alone are great

The Case OF the yIrxin,us.


Elsewhere win be found an expression of the
views Of Secretary Fish upon the seizure Of
the yirginius by the Spanish authorities, and
the hatchery Of four persons found In the
vessel The Secretary points out the DIFF
feultes In the way Lf definite action until
the authoritative facts are obtained; but In
the meantime the Madrid government at
the request Of our government has issued
peremptory orders for q stay Of proceed
inss in the case Of the other prisoners taken on
the Ntrginius- Secretary Fish, In saying that
the trouble In dealing with Cuban matters is
not with the Madrid government, but with the
Spanish volunteers Of Cuba, states what will be
recognized a. an unmistakable fact by all Who
have visited Havana. These "volnntecrs''
are the real dictators in the island
Tley consist Of wealthy Spanish -Cubans,
having for their seat Of rule the Casino Club
room This club passes upon all DEGREES issued
In regard to Cuban affairs by the Madrid gov
eminent, and rejects or endorses according to
its will. These Spanish Cuban volunteers have
feen AZ issue with the home government upon
the emancipation project. They are the slave
ocracy OF the island, and are interested in hay
ing slavery maintained. For this reason they
really favor having the rebellion maintained, be-
cause the Spanish decree of emancipation does
notgo into effect until the rebellion Is suppressed
Their aim Is, therefore, to have the rebellion
Kept up TO certain but not dangerous extent;
and were il put down they would manage to
have the embers kept alive in order to stave of
the decree Of emancipation. In the weak con-
dition Of the Madrid government for some years
past ,he "volunteers'' have been able to carry
things with high hand in snubbing the home
authorities, but should Castelar's government
become fully established, IL is probable that
the Casino club at Havana would be brought to
terms.
