Prof. Tayler Lewis of Union College has
come forward with letter in the New
York Tribune, in which he takes the
ground that the theory Of evolution is not
of necessity contrary TO the Scriptures.
The chief objection made by reIigionists
10 the evolution doctrine is that it rele-
gates the Creator to position outside the
Universe, The error. Prof. Lewis thinks,
is in this assumption 1t makes the whole
process by which creation has been un-
iolded--by which the atoms of an original
nebula have taken shape and character,
perhaps even vitality and consciousness
and free villa mere mechanical Sc.
quence. The first atoms of matter, it is
said. were endowed with the qualities and
forces which secured their development.
There is no need Prof. Lewis, points out.
for such an assumption, even if the evol-
ution Of matter TO its present forms did
take place along the paths which men Of
science think they have traced out. Grant
the evolution, the Development; it is still
a creation not only supervised but actually
carried out. step by step, by Divine
Creator. The accordance Of the view
which he offers with the statements of the
Bible, is fortified in the letter by references
TO that volume.

generally seem to think that the less said

A Tramp in Close Quarters.

A tramp who was attempting to steal
a ride from Ogdensburgh to Rouse's
Point, n. Y, experienced trip which
was well calculated to make an impress
sion on his memory that will not soon be
eradicated. The splendid pair of tigers
and zebra which formed part of the
Hippodrome menagerie, (which has spent
most of the summer at Ogdensburgh,
were shipped that night for New York,
by the way of Rouse's Point. The tigers
were removed from their cage, placed in
temporary boxes and put into box car.
The door of the car was left partly open,
to allow free circulation of air. The
tramp in looking for a good place to
stow himself away, came across this
open car and crawled in. After the
train started the tigers became uneasy
from the Pumbling of the cars, having
remained in quiet state there for two
months, and tried to get out of the
boxes. The tigress succeeded, and as
she emerged from her coop the tramp
shrunk back into corner and remained
the rest of the trip as rigid as a statue.
The tigress, after making an examination
of the car, in which she even Tapped the
face of the tramp, laid down at the open
door of the car with her paws hanging
out the rest of the Journey. In the
morning when Herr Lingal came to look
after his pets he discovered the tigress
occupying the same position, and order
ed her back into the box, and she obey
ed. He then discovered the tramp, who
still occupied his crouching position,
with his clothes wet through with per-
spiration and speechless from his night
ride with the tigers. 1t was fortunate
thing for him that it was the female that
got out of the box, for she is as kindand
tractable as a kitten, while the male
would have killed him before reaching
the end of the journey.

Wonders i'm Your Body,

Suppose your age to be fifteen, Oh
thereabouts.
You have two hundred bones and six
hundred muscles your blood weighs
twenty five pounds; your heart is five
inches in length and three inches in
diameter ; it beats seventy times per
minute, 1920 times per hour, 100, 500
per day, 36, 1872, 900 per year. At each
beat little over two ounces of blood is
thrown out of it, and each day it re-
ceives and discharges about seven tons
of that wonderful fluid.
Your lungs will contain gallon of air,
and you inhale "a, 900 gallons per day.
The aggregate surface of the air cells OF
your lungs, supposing them to be spread
out, exceed 10000 square inches.
The weight of your brain is three
pounds; when you are man it will
weigh about eight ounces more.
Your nerves exceed 100000 in
number.
Your skin is composed of three layers,
and varies from one-fourth to one-eighth
of an inch in thickness. The area OF
your skin is about 1,700 inches. Each
square inch contains about $500 sweat.
ing tubes or perspiratory pores, each OF
which may be likenedto little draining
tile one-fourth of an inch long, making
an aggregate length of the surface OF
your body of So, ,541 feet, or tile ditch
for draining the body almost seventeen
miles long.

A Horrible Death,

1t is doubtful that there has ever been
reported death so terrible as that of
John Schoven, which took place in New
York. He was German, over seventy
| years of age. He lived with his daugh-
| ter, young woman of eighteen sum-
mers, in miserable, rickety tenement
house. He was man of rnexceptiona-
bic morals, and loved his daughter bet
ter than his life. For some time back
he had been in feeble health, his disease
being of nervous character, which re-
Quired the administration of narcotics
to produce the sleep and rest necessary
for man of his advanced years. If the
writer is not misinformed, hydrate of
chloral was the drug prescribed by
his physician. Or, at all events, the
narcotic was thin, colorless tincture of
the consistency Of hydrate of chloral and
the appearance of water. 1t was kept
in little closet along with other bottles,
among which was small vial, contain
ing creosote. On Monday evening Mr..
Schoven, feeling i'll at ease, requested
his daughter to bring him the narcotic.
The bottle which contained the narcotic
and that which held the creosote were
precisely the same in form and size and
also in general appearance. Neither
bottle was labeled. The daughter, in
stead of bringing the old man the mar
cotic, brought him the creosote, and he,
equally ignorant, poured out spoonful
and swallowed it.
The next moment the old man threw
up his hands in terror and consterna-
ton, crying: "My God my God ! L
have made mistake. l am burning
up. Help for Gods sake, help -
The fumes of the creosote at once led the
girl to realize the situation, and crying
and wringing her hands she dashed down
the treacherous stairways, rushed franti
cally into the street and accosted an Off
Ger, who at once called in the aid of the
nearest physician. Meanwhile the suf-
ferings of the old man were terrible. 1t
was as If his entrails had been pierced
with red hot irons, or as if he had taken
a cup of molten lead. His face became
ivid; his eyes seemed leaping from their
sockets; his body became convulsed
with spasms. Language cannot portray
the agony of that old, gray haired, dying
man. "Water water My stomach,
nay heart, my very soul is on fire - he
shrieked in the torture of his death
throes. The doctor came, and emetics
were given in vain. In fifteen minutes
the aged German was dead.
A reporter visited Schoven's S residence.
There was no carpet on the floor to
muffle the step of the visitor. No pic
lures graced the dull and dreary walls;
but, while the birds sang on the caves
and the children laughed merrily
in the streets, poor little lady sat
beside a rude coffin in garret, weeping
was embracing.

Andrew JOllnsOn's Economy.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says: Andrew Johnson was
very close and saving i'll money transac-
tions, carrying the economy he learned
in the severe school of poverty almost to
an extreme. His style of life at Green
vile was exceedingly simple and non
expensive, reminding one of the first
days of the republic, and, we may add,
the better days. He would often say:
"My wants are few and easily supplied"
When he had retired from the Presi-
dency he had saved from his salary and
interest accumulations $65,000. This he
deposited in the First National Bank at
Washington, H. d. Cooke, president,
upon an agreement to pay him six per
cent. interest. He did not even draw
out the interest, and when the Cooks ex-
ploded he had in their bank $73, 200, the
increase being the result of interest ac-
cumulatiOns. OF this sum he received
about fifty per cent, and the last time
L saw him he told me that he meant to
have the rest, if there was any law in the
United States that would reach the case.
If L had my way" he added, 81 would
hang about dozen defaulting bank
officials who steal the peoples money
and call it failure and then there
would be less of that kind of robbery"
