The independence Road.

The following letter, written for the
Express, from San Bernardino, will
furnish the particulars Of an impor-
tant railroad meeting held at that
place last Saturday:
The business men of San Bernar-
dino met in public meeting at Boren's
Hall this afternoon, for the purpose Of
giving expression to their opinions
with regard to the desirability of TAX
ing stock in the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence Railroad, which is proposed
to pass in their immediate vicinity,
and connect their rich agricultural
valley with the immense mineral belt
lying north and west of them.
The meeting was organized at 3
O'Clock P, n. Judge Rolfe being
called upon to preside, made a few
Introductory remarks introducing
Capt. Beane, the Secretary of the
Board of Incorporators, who pro-
ceedei to lay before the meeting
the object Of the enterprise, the
progress which had been made, and
finally to read the article of incorpora-
tion which heads the subscription list
The reading of this paper was listened
to with interest especially as it pro-
vides for a narrow gauge railway
equipped with It iron rails laid on the
cross ties, and extending from the city
of Los Angeles to Independence, Inyo
county.
Capt. Beane, before retiring, intro
duced Mr.. Crawford, the Engineer of
the Company, who gave a brief de-
scription Of the Typographical features
of the route via Cajon Pass, grades,
distances and elevations; exhibited
the map and answered numerous ques-
tions propounded by parties familiar
with the country traversed.
During the meeting, speeches were
made by Judges Boren, Swift and
ROlfe, Messrs, J. Walters, Roe, Jacobs,
Katz, Kelting and others. The uni
versal sentiment .breathed by all was
opposition to monopoly and favorable
to any connection which would bind
them to the mining regions of Pana-
mint and Cerro Gordo, and ensure
them an outlet to the sea, and reduc-
ton of the present grievOusly heavy
freight rates. During the course Of
their remarks the speakers We're fire.
quently applauded. ......
At the close of the meeting Judge
Boren offered series of resolutions
indorsing the project, and appointing
a committee Of five to cooperate with
the Board of Incorporators of the Los
Angeles and Independence Railroad,
solicit subscriptions, etc. The follow
ing committee was nominated and
elected by the meeting: Messrs. Boren,
Waters, Roe, Jacobs and DIR. Barton;
after which the meeting adjourned
to meet again at call from the
committee.

is a struggle for life among the
young everywhere and in all things.
The Professor quoted Darwin quite
freely, but stated he differed widely
from him. How everything resem-
bles the conditions of life which sur
round them. Those blind laws do not
produce maturity, yet we. cannot leave
them out. 1t is the spirit of man OPP
Grating with these natural laws. In
addition to these laws there are point
ers. First, metamorphoses - passing
through q series of changes. Here
the speaker followed the steps and
linkings from the fish, the lowest life
to the reptile, the bird, the mammals,
and through these various orders of
mammals rising into higher life and
better condition till we find man as
the highest and most perfect specimen.
showing strikingly the similarity all
along in these various stages of pro-
gress. The anatomical structure is a
great pointer The advancing forms
of life are another striking pointer
redundant organs organs of no use,
are another pointer. 1t has taken mil
lions of years to make man, and
he is far from being perfect yet. When
man believes in the great indwelling
spirit working within, according to
these laws in nature, producing these
wonderful changes, it elevates mans
estimate of the Supreme being. There
are great gaps to fill in the stages of
life, but geology supplies ali. Man
was made from the dust, away down
at the bottom and after millions of
years has reached his high estate-his
noble and Godlike figure and position.
The speaker reviewed the various OBJ
jections to this theory but we cannot
follow him. He denounced the idea
of degradation to man in coming
from the lower order of animals--the
degradation is on the other side. If
God made man 5000 years ago, per-
feet man, after his own image, how
had he degenerated in 5000 years
pointing to the numerous horrible
faces Of humanity on his charts be-
fore the audience). In six thousand
years more we will be crawling on the
ground, and scrambling among the
branches, and in 5000 more aOhere
Would zoe be? A noble thought that
man has arisen so high and still liv-
ing in God. and God may live in us if
we are worthy. The ideal Of goodness
is God, and man should love and serve
him. 1t Is impossible in such re-
port to make the reader understand
the lecturer as the hearer heard him.
The Professor was often applauded,
His theme for tomorrow night is:

Murphy's Farewell.

A fair audience assembled at the
Merced Theatre last night to give
Murphy respectable "send Off"
The programme consisted of male and
female minstrels, variety performance
and a laughable piece entitled can
lrishman's Blunders." The conclusion
of the minstrel performance in which
was introduced the "Poor Old Slave"
had fine effect and gave the WELL
known song coloring amounting to
pathos. In Music on the Brain"
one of the variety pieces, Murphy in
troducd some charming music on the
French harp, and some in all equal
degree ridiculous on nondescript in
strument. The company will give an
entertainment in Wilmington to-
night. For the present, We have bid
them good-bye.

EDITOR HERALD:-I made the hasty
remark in the last number of the
HERALD, that 1 thought the Santa
Barbara Press especially inclined to
exaggerate the attractions of Califor-
MIA. am convinced, after little re-
Election, that the remark was unjust,
and wish in fairness to the Press, to
correct the error. will also say that
am not "dissatiSfied sojourner." I
have come to stay, and think much
better Of the country than the HER
my present knowledge of California,
I think its advantages have in many
respects been greatly over-rated.

Professor Denton's Lecture.

Alarge audience gathered at Grange
Hall last evening to listen to Professor
Denton, on the "Origin of Man." He
commenced by saying: We live in a
world swarming with life, vegetable
life and animal life, life within life,
animalcul@ innumerable--and here
we find ourselves. How come we
here This is the question for us to
answer tonight. There are but two
answers to this question. We came
into life either by miracle or vitality,
under the laws of nature as taught by
science. There are no new operations
to-day. The same laws operated q
million years ago that we find in opera
tion to-day. Here the speaker emu
merated the laws governing and con-
trolling the elements, and coming to
the law of life he said, nothing is found
by miracle. In early times, supersti-
tion prevailed, even thunder and
lightning and earthquakes were not
understood. Now science enlightens
the mind and explains all things. The
law of life, of vitality, is the law of
production and Reproduction, and
the operations of this law,
beginning down at the bottom,
has always been in operation.
He read authority showing that vital
germs exist in nature, and from natu-
raj causes. Innumerable beings are
produced in sealed TASKS of water,
heated to nearly 3000-far above where
life can be sustained. He spoke of
many laws in process of production
and reproduction; when, coming to
the law of variation, he showed how,
in the vegetable world and animal
kingdom, unlikes as well as likes are
produced by the same species, thus
contributing to great divergence
from the original stock. He next
mentioned the law of hereditary trans
inission--a very marked law, discov-
cred everywhere. Next he named the
law of modifcation--all life is modi-
fed by the elements surrounding and
coming in contact with the subjects
endowed with life. Man and animals
living at a great elevation must have
large lungs, and their progeny will be
adapted to that atmosphere. He had
seen little plants in England grow to
trees in California. He next treated
the law of natural selection. Trees
and animals produce thousand times
more seed than can survive. A crab
will produce 10000, 900 young--an oak
a million .acorns. In each Instance,
but few survive to reproduce. There
