| The English philosophers have been
lately discussing the origin Of language
With reference 10 the Darwinian theory
Of the origin of man. 1t is claimed by
! one side to the debate thought without
,, language is Impossible. and that. "a the
inferior animals have. therefore. no
| thought. and that it follows the theory
of the evolution of man from the SINH
ans must be Illogical. On the other hand
il is suggested that if thought is impos-
Sih!e without language man must have
been like the monkey before language
MS invented. and II is asked how. with
OFT precedent though, conid he invent
the expression of it? Into this maze of
metaphy steal inquiry We shall no further
introduce the reader. except TO cite one
fact, which these philosophers would do
well to examine This is the exception

and blind from infancy. Did tins re-
markable girl think before she acquired
a language, and if she did not think how

This is the case of rhiuocerOs which
recently died at the Jardin DIES Plantes,
in Paris This great bleast was fierce
and uutamable; yet, ike Lord Byron, he
had one fri.nd-a dog. This little lap
dog had squeezed himself into the cage
of the monster. which became so fond
of him that all his liberties were tOlera-
ted. Accidentally the rhinoceros put
his foot upon tn e dog and killed it. The
grief of the poor brute, We are told, WIS
pitiful, and for two days he refused TO
eat particle of food. He could not
speak-this rhinoceros who Carlyle
would have. therefore, admirei-and,
consequently, could not think. But was
his sorrow merely the expression Of
some automatic movement of the brain
the unmeaninG jarring OF an interrupted
machine? We leave the answer to these
questions to Mr.. Proctor, Mr.. Huxley,
Professor Tyndall and to our American
philosophers. whose part in the discus
