A Clerical Advocate of Darwinlsm

- AANNSSAAS SoA
(From the N. Y. Tribune.)
The Theory Of Ruolutton, by the, Rev.
George Henslow, is prize essay. "illus-
trative of the wisdom and benifcence 'ol
the Almighty" in which the author; who
is an English clergyman, defends the doc.
trlne OF evolution from the charges that
have been brought against 1t on religious
grounds. He first presents the evidence
afforded by the researches of paleontol-
ogy, and from living organisms, and then
undertakes to show that the same laws Of
evolution which govern the origin and de.
Velopment of the animal and vegetable
kingdoms, regulate the growth and pro-
gress of religion, both in the individual,
the church, and the nation. The princi:
Pile of evolution, he maintains, Is sup
ported by innumerable analogies, and will
be found to involve one of the grandest
and most comprehensive laws in the
universe. The suspicion or athe-
ism which has been attached 10
the doctrine is groundless. As he
understands the term evolution, it
simply expresses the conviction forced
upon the minds of certain observers, that
all organisms are derived from pre.exist-
ing ones, and that each kind has not been
separately created. 1t has not been
assumed by the the6rist to support his
views, but to explain the phenomena con-
nected with the origin Of beings. Mr..
Henslow athrmS that the argument from
design is not weakened by the doctrine
but rather strengthened by 1t. II the
mechanism Of the w8tch, In thecelebrated
argument Of DR.. Paley, proves the exist
ence Of an intelligent Creator, the intelli-
gence would appear far greater If the
maker had endowed the watch with the
power Of accumulAting slight variations
in the offspring during successive ages,
and thus producing all thelvariatlons Of
watches and clocks Of every description
in the world. THIS, contends Mr.. Hens
low, Is precisely analogous to the pro-
duction Of animal and vegetable organ
isms by evolution. The design recog-
nized in structure which points to the
existence Of mind Is entirely irrespective
of the process by which that structure
was brought into existence. AS b contri.
button TO science, the volume has little
that is original, or Of special value, and It
derives its principal interest from being
written in religious point of view,
rather than In that Of philosophical
speculation. :,

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 3l.-The strike
assumes more dangerous aspect here
since noon. As two freight trains were
about to start west, the two conductors
81 the last moment refused 10 90, saying
they would not go over the road with
strange engineers. They were dlscharg.
ed at once, and the trains sent with other
men In charge. The yard master OF the
Plqua road was called on by a crowd Of
roughs to-day, and

The police dispersed the crowd, and The
spokesman Of the party escaped. The
evening train for Cincinnati when at
Alton was fred into by some unknown
parties. The situation here Is more un-
favorable for settlement than at any
time during the trouble.

The engineers strike on the various
railroads has delayed the arrival of the
mails TO an extent which has seriously
diminished the internal revenue statement
Tor this month, though certificates Of de.
poSlte are en- route TO the Department
and will show in the report for the next
month. The Secretary speaks more
hopefully than heretofore Of the condi.
ton Of the National Treasury, and ex-
presses the belief that with continued
increase In the amount Of the receipts and
large reduction in the public expendi-
tures, the necessity for an additional taxa.
ton may be lessened.
