count OF place, number ana cause, and
the bearing OF things; a genius, in fine,

Discrimination, an extraordinary pow

his greatness. He was a fatalisU.-
Events are brought about by power

vertebrates present the intermediate
steps, and invertebrates constant ac-
cessory accompaniment. Have we not
here an immense mind, as powerful
as prolific, the acts of intelligence as
sublime as provident, the marks of a
goodness as infinite as wise, the most
palpable demonstration of the exist
ence of q personal God, the author OF
all things, ruler of the universe, and
dispenser of all good? This, at least,
is what I read i'll the works of crea-
tion.n But il is what he ever read,
and read with profound awe and admi-
ration. To this exalted faith he was
invincibly loyal. No laws of nature
were to him the eternal word of God.
His repugnance to Darwinism grew iii
a great part from his apprehension OF
its athelstical tendency-an apprehen-
sion which at best cannot share, for
[ forget not that those theories now i'll
the ascendant are. adopted by not q
few determined Christian men and
while they seem to me not only I'M
proved. but improbable, [ could deem
them truth without parting with one
iota of my faith IN God aGd Christ
Yet can best sympathiZe most hear
lily with him in the spirit with which
he resisted what seemed to him to les
sen the majesty of the Master and sup
porter of the universe. Nor was his a
mere theoretical faith. His whole
life, in its pervading spirit of service,
in its fidelity to ardaOus duties, in its
simplicity and truthfuluess, bespoke
one who was sincerely fulfilling a
mission from God to his fellow-men.-

SCIENTIFIC
A Prophecy of Science.

Prof Alexander Winchell delivered
the last of his course of lectures on
Geology. Saturday evening, in New
York. His subject on that occas sion
was ''Glimpses into the Future. ,
Having in his previous lectures
shown the propable origin and for
nation OF the earth and the worlds
that make up the universe. he in this
lecture described the final end
of this world as foreshadowed by the
results of scientific research. His
argument was that the planets were
eventually precipated into the sun.
The comets, Re said, were winding
up their careers faster and faster, and
in the end will be precipitated into the
sun. 1t has been said that there is
continual rain of PARTICLES upon the
sun and that by their impact its heat is
kept up. But if this was the case,
the mass of the sun would be increas,
ed, which Is not shown to be the fact :;
again, these falling masses would not
be enough to keep up that heat. The
returning periods of the comets are
growing shorter; they always come
back little too soon. The earth is
shortening its years and drawing
nearer to the sun. All the planets
are blowing their way through a
resisting medium, and many years
ago it began to be calculated what
would be the end of Il a. resistance
We have abundant evidence of that
resistance. 1t is well demonstrated
that the light from tie sun is
propagated in The form of fluctuations.
The light of each star has trembled
along its path on the wings of ether
in SOME cases for 700, 200 years.
Through the resistance OF this exceed
ingly tenous fluid, all the planets of
our solar system are destined 10 be
precipitated into the sun and lecome
enc totally refrigerated mass,
That is the result toward which all
these activities are tending. Il
seems as though all was but a series
of incident towards the attainment
of an ultimate equilibrium. All the
stars have their own proper motion,
some approaching each other, others
separating. 1t is said that our sys-
TEN is approaching the constellation
hercules. The conclusion is obvious
that if all these suns are executing
their movements around centers of
gravity, through this resisting medi-
um, they will ultimately ue precipi-
tated upon these centers. The evil
dence is tina: our sun is moving in
an orbit so large that it will take Is.
100000 years TO go over it once. 1t
has been shown that there was a be-
ginning within finite time, and We
have traced continual progress
Therefore there must be terminal
tion within finite time however w t
the period may be. This is one Of the
cycles of matter, Ind it seems proba-
bic that when this end o: the period
is reached when the forces of matter
stop, the arm Of the Almighty will
again be stretched out, calling again
IN motion all these materials forming
new worlds and systems.

A Doomed Expedition.

The New York WORLD thus
sums up the fate of the parties to
the fatal French Expedition to
Mexico.
The French army returned to
France. Marshal Bazaine, after pc
riod of occultation, so used his knowl-
edge Ct the secret history of the Next
can expedition as to COMPEL the En-
peror Napoleon once more to call him
to the highest posts in the service OF
France. MaXimilian died miserably
but manful!y at Queretaro. The En-
press Charlotte, shattered in all her
dearest affections and most intimate
life, passed out of the world of con-
scious humanity to become a helpless
Iunatic. All this was less than six
years ago. III the old Greek days men
knowing all this would have expected
to see some signal vengeance of
the rods wreaked upon the successful III
behalf of The ruined parties to this CO.
lossal intrigue and deception. But
they would have expected to see this
vengeuce worked out long years ago
after the preparation OF the deeds by
which it had been provoked. Without
irreverence it would really seem that
in our times the DEGREES of fate them
selves, like those of more human gov
ernmcnts, have begun to be executed
by steam and by electricity a single
ciimacteric period Of human life Las
not vet passed away, and what have
we beficld! The Victorious President
of the Mexican republic who signed
the death-warraut of MaXimillian has
died at The very outset of his first
clearly legitimate Presidential term.-
The American Secretary of State. who
might have saved the life of that un-
II Ippy prince, had he really chosen 50
to do, has passed away also, aud al
most unregarded by the public eye for
which he had lived. The Emperor of
the French, after failing infinitely
lower from a far giddier height than
the Austrian prince, has been gathered
to his fathers an impoverished exile
And now the grim procession closes
with The solemn official disgrace, and
the sentence to an ignOminiCus death
of the French Marshal who seven
short years ago turned over the exile
of Miramar without regret or q hest
.ation 10 his doom.
