Professor Tyudall's "ma,cris!i!m," in
the light OF the preface which be has
written for his memorable discourse
al Belfast, appears 10 be Of very harm
Ices quality. Such as i. is, however, or
such IS it Is thought to be, 1t continues
to attract considerable attention. A few
Sundays ago the Rev Dr. Chaplin, Of New
York, referred 10 Tyndalrs views%ilh a
csEdor and elrnestness which made his
haal argument against the naked theory
thst matter is the parent Of sll things
doubiy impressive, and to many minds
perfectly conclusive. Ia the same line OF
thought Prof. Charles Pritchard, Of the
unlVersity OF Cambridge, England, re-
Gently considered the question in paper
read before one Of the public societies Of
Great Britain. His argument was that
naturai selection does not account for the
actual development Of the mental iacul-
It's, because II rests on the assumption
that all mems faculties and adaptations Of
the organism to its environment
have grown out OF need and use-whereas
unCivilized peoples possess powers and
capacities for which, in their present state
Of life, there 10 not and canno. beany use.
In applying the argument to ourselves he
said:
I'VE, too, possess powers and Capacities
immeGsuraGly beyond the necessities Of
any merely transitory life. These stir with.
10 US yesrniDgs irrep:essible, longiDgs IN.
utierable, a curiosity unsatisied and in.
sstisble by ought We see. These appe-
lites, passions and affections come to US,
not as Socrates and Plato supposed, nor
az oC! great poet sang, from the dim re.
collection Of some lomer state Of our be-
lpg, still less from the delusiye inherit.
suce OF our prOgcnitOrs; they are the in
dicAtions oisomething within us akin to
something immeasurably beyond US; TO-
kens Of something AttalnabIe, vet no,
hitherto attained; signs Of potential fell
Iowship with spirits nobler and more
glorious than our OVID; they are the title
deeds Of our presumptiVe heirship to some
brighter world than any that has yet been
iyrned,"

interest. Some SO Swedes settled in Maine
in 1871, and founded a village called New
Sweden. They have increased by immigra'
ton and otherwise to the number of 6O0
They have taken up 10000 acres of land, fell
ed 1900 acres of timber, have 400 acres in
grass, have built $50 houses, 130 barns and 8
mills. The State advanced them $4,000 to
assist them in the enterprise, of which they
have already repaid $4,000.
- 1t appears from the last annual report
of the executive committee of the New York
prison association, that the total number of
persons constantly in prison, under sentence
of felonies or State prison offences in New
York, is very nearly $4,000, about the size of
the whole standing army of the United States.
1t is one State alone which supports this stand
ing army of criminals, in addition to which is
an irregular force in the county jails, the ex-
act number of which is not known in conse-
quence of general incompleteness in the
Jail records. The next fact Of interest is
that, deducting the whole amount paid into
the treasury of New York by these pri'
sons, they have cost the people of that State,
by direct taxation, about S7,O91, 1892; be.
ginning at less than 100000 year. and
gradually growing until they draw nearly
half million dollars annually from the
treasury.

ted return to specie payments, and submit
ted bill, which was referred to the committee
on finances, to secure that end without con-
tracing the currency. The bill authorizes

it has not been largely and highly priced. More

every race. 1t has lost none Of its good name by
repeated trials, but continues to occupy promi-

best remedy ever known for Bruises, Cuts, Burns,
