Planning Houses.

The planning of houses is left almost
entirely to men, and most women are
content to have it 30, and to look upon
the whole question of domestic archi-
lecture as one with which they have
nothing to do. But If women would
study this subject and have intelligent
and practical ideas on the arrangement,
finish and convenience of the houses
they live in, their suggestions would be
of great value to architects, and doubt
less result in an increase Of health and
household comfort. 1.-THE wise woman
buildeth her house." Taking this in
literal sense, every woman who is
" "wise' will be able to plan her house
so that she viii find it pleasant to live
in The ordinary way Of building a
house is to decide how much money can
be put into it, then what its size shall
be, and then how it shall be cut up into
rooms. The reverse is the proper
method. The sitting-room or family
room should first be determined on, and
from this as . center all the others
should radiate. Each family will ma
turally give law to its own habitation,
and impress its own individuality upon
the house it lives in. Every woman has
her own way Of doing housework; and
If she is able to plan her house herself,
she will arrange its c0nveniences in
such q way as to make it easy for
her to go through the ordinary routine
of domestic industry with the least pos
sible friction. She will not be likely to
forget to put closets in sleeping-rooms,

The Chicago papers are publishing 2
list of the divorces recently granted in
that city. The average Chicagoan
steals away with it to the privacy Of his
own closet, runs down the long array
until he comes to familiar name, and
sighs as he says to himself; "Last
year she was mine last week she was
his'n; to-morrer she will be somebody
else's. Oh, Mary Ann, Mary Ann,
what changes you has seen!"

Prof. Uuxley,s Evasion.

There has been nothing moro ingenious,
in the line Of scientific statement, than the
way III which Prof HUXLEY, the cele-
brated English naturalist, lodged the
secular conflict between so-called science
and popular religion, in the first of his
course of lectures on Evolution" deliv-
cred here last night. In expounding the
various theories of material existence, he at
tackled. with keen scientific argument and
very subtle sarcasm, the Mosaic account Of
the creation Of the world. But he attacked
IL not at all as Biblical history nominaly.
He protested that he had nothing to say
about Moses; TINT he would lay tho book
of Genesis entirely aside; and that he
could not enter into any controversy
about the meaning Of u chapter wl:oh
had received so many contradictory
interpretations from its professional
expounders.
lie made his attack upon the theory Of
direct creation, not as tho inspired pro-
duction OF Moses. but as the poetical
fantasy of JOHN MILTON. who illustrates
ii 50 wildly in the seventh book of Para
disc Lost He spoke OF il throughout his
lecture Us the "Miltonic theory" and,
having done so, he proceeded to make the
most formidable and sweeping assault
upon 1t. ne utterly uusoieutfio and
groundless, that even he has ever yet
made. MILToN's account OF the crea-
ton is but the Mosaic account, with poetic
adornments; but HUXLEY fell upon it as
Miltonic, and delivered his rasping argu-
ments against it without regard to its real
origin The ingenuity of this remarkable
mans mind, and the power Of his scientific
know ledge were never moro strikingly
illustrated than in the way he dealt with
this feature of his subject.
But 1t was an evasion, after all lie
ought TO have openly and directly deliv-
cred his attack against MOSES and the ac-
count of creation in the book of Genesis.
1t was not lack OF courage that pre-
vented him from doing this. Ii was not de-
sire TO avoid tue weapons of the expounders
Of those creeds which he regards rs destitute
Of evidence. II was merely to give add
tlonal force and sharpness to his scientihco-
sarcastic method Of attack. Prof. IIUx-
LEY does not need to adopt any such line
of policy; aud instead Of attacking Moses
over the shoulders of JoHS MILTON, lac
should strike at Moses, face to face.

GLOW Fever.

There il no fear. with decently effective
sanitary arrangements, that this epidemic
now so PAINFULLY sCouiging savannah. will
reach New York. A. is well known. frost
puts sure stop to its ravages. and that We
may before lone expect TO have. The re-
ports of yellow fever at Baltimore are uu-

Ignorant alarmists, who exaggerated a

ways liable, by reason of the low ground
and bad drainage OF portion of the city.

not suffer from yellow fever.

Another Question about Taxes.

our Republican friends would make the
election Of President TO turn upon the
point whether Nj. TiLDEN paid ms much
income tax o. lie ought to have paid. AZ
10 The question If his voracity, it seems al
most ridiculous to treat it ne seriously
raised.
But there is 4 view Of the subj OF tax
alton, which seems to Us quite deserving OF
consideration in determining which candi-
date FOR PIcsideut to vote for 1t is of Il
good deal OF importance whether the peo-
pie in general shall continue indefinitely
subjected L. the present high rate of taxa
ton, OF whether there shall be material
reduction Of taxes. In fact. this we regard
as the great controlling issue in the pres
ent campaign.
The extravaganza eugendered by the
war-au evil incident to all wars-has been
continued through tho eight years OF Gen.
GRANT. We appreLcud il would 90 on
without alp,ciahlc Gmuutiun under
MI HAYES if he should be elected; where
as under Nj. I1LDEN we believe tho cur
rent cApcrses oi carrying on the Govern
ment, and the burden OF interest on the
public debt, would be so much reduced rs
10 AFFORD sensible relief to the masses of
the people.
Mr. TILDES is skilful, practical nnan-
cier, and he would manage our finances
with great ability; and it is Of such man
agemcnt that the country stands sorely in
need at the present time.
Look over your tax bills, and If you
think il would be pleasanter TO have them
smaller, vote for SAMUEL j. TILDEN for
President. On the other hand, if you like
to be heavily taxed and prefer larger
rather than smaller taxes, be true to your
convictions and vote for Mr.. HAYES, with
the utmost confidence that under him the
taxes Will be kept up.

munity, ia private honor or public faithY
To tho demoralized partisan all this is
nothing: but what must it be to the citizen
to whom virtue is not without value and

ligiou, morals. and tho decencies of life.
If the citizen loyal to good government,
the lover OF ms country, and the custodian
of It's honor, can see anything inspiring in
the present or any hope in the future, we
leave him to his dcusons, and wait pa
tiently for the revusion, which must in
some future, near or remote, purify our at
mospherc and purge the high places of
power of the venal and the base.
