A correspondent of The English
Mechanic insists that musical
sounds stimulate the growth of
plants. He gives an instance in
point. In a barren section Of Portu-
gal he built a small conservatory
and endeayored to cultivate roses
and other flowers under shelter, but,
in spite of his precautions and in
dustry, they did not flourish. One
day he took a harmonium into the
greenhouse, and played for several
hourS.s The practice he maintained
for several months, and was sur
prised to see a gradual but rapid
recovery of health on the part of
his plants. He attributes their i'm
provement to the influence of music,
and unfolds the theory that the
singing of birds is conducive to
vegetable life.

Evarts is constantly taking notes,
and VIM. E. Chandler occasionally
gives him the benefit Of his extra
ordinary legal knowledge. Trum-
bull, with his almost c~olorless face,
sits placidly by the side of Matt
Carpenter, and no one, by any ex-
preston Of his countenance could
diagnose where the argument left
an impression with him. Black
sits in the center of a row Of
desks, thumbing a massive snuff
box, and seldom takes notice.
Next to him is Chas. 0'Conor, with
whom Evarts will measure argu-
mentS on Monday. He is the most
attentive of the array of counsel.
Not a point slips him and page after
page Of foolscap is exhausted by
him in noting down the points of
law advanced by the different speak
ers. Stanley Matthews sits next to
Evarts, frequently converSes with
him and gives the strictest atten-
ton to the proceedings. Slough
toms desk is in the rear Of both the
Democratic and Republican coun-
sci. Judge Thurman fills his chair
as it were no new thing for him to
be on the bench; SO does Edmunds,
Blyard and Hear-all are at ease.
Morton looks clumsy and Garfield
%ungainly. Payne slides down low
in the huge chair, and nothing can
be seen Of him but his aqnlline
features and merry, twinkling eyes.
Hunton looks like an overgrown
farmer, who would feel more at
home in a split-bottom chair.
Judge Abbott sits as straight as an
arrow and as proud as a peacock.

TO THE SUMMER TOURIST.

Those Of our citizens who are fortunate enough
to be able to seek respite from the labors of the
business season just closed, and to recuperate
their energies at some OF the many delightful
summer resorts to be found in the Northern
States and Canada, will be glad to learn that the
old favorite Jackson route, under vigorous and
efficient management. has become one OF the
very best travelling thoroughfares 10 the country.
Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars have been
expended, as we are credibly informed, during
the past twelve months for new iron and steel
rails, new cross-tes and new bridges, and to- day
1t may be safely said that no road south Of the
Ohio river surpasses the great Jackson route in
smoothness and perfect safety. We have had
occasion, during the past few weeks, to travel
quite extensively over that road, and we can thus,
from actual experience. bear witness to it's ex-
cellence in every particular which goes to oonsti
tute good road,

mates, accumulates; faith merely conceives
and sanctifies the truths that intellect gives
her. She has ben forced to abandon many
absurd theories and beliefs which she
has with strange temerity and reck-
lessness undertaken to uphold as the
essential basis of all religious truth. She will
yet have to abandon all that science proves
not to be true. The conflict, then, is between
old science and the new, and the only concern
OF religion In it Is to hold on to the old till the
new establishes it's assertions as positive
and irrefragible truths. 1t is through this an
tagonism that progress comes. But we are
also disposed to believe it has. even wider
benefieience than this; it preserves us alike
from the miseries Of religious persecution and
the anarchy OF irreligion.

that time ten per cent of the subscriptions
will be called in monthly.
1t is also proposed that every subscriber
shall have the privilege, up to the 1st of Jan

or discriminate between right and wrong.
Faith, he says, is blind; it cannot think
| it is but part of knowledge and therefore
inferior TO it. 1t is not difficult to understand
how such doctrines as these must have had a
very powerful influence in destroying the
| absurd pretenses of the old theology. 1t
necessarily refuted many of it's favorite
dogmas and compelled it to abandon many
things that had been taught as essential
| truths. In this connection we notice that Dr.
Winchell still clings to the old superstition Of
final cause, and insists upon it with unusual
vehemence, though Descartes was forced to
abandon it, when he enunciated the authority
| of reason in all things, and which DR.. Winchell
also accepts. We prefer to think with the
great philosopher that these two doctrines
can not be reconciled. Yet. DR.. Winchell says
that the tendency Of modern science is to ac-
cept final cause. We can not agree with him.
To our mind to assert is absolutely to deny
the law of evolution, or the possibility of in
herent development. His argument is that
| inherent force, like all unintelgible force,
must act in a straight line, and that the sinu-
Gus diversions presented in animal develop
ment indicates an intelligent and designing
power acting and controlling action within
the organism. We can't see the force
of this argument, and to accept it
is necessary to the synthesis Of! religious
faith and scientific convictions which he
offers. Yet we see no reason why such rec
lonciliation may notgyet be reached. In all the
Hong history Of this conflict there is nothing
| to contradict his theory Of the interaction,
rather thar hostility, of the moral and intel
Ilectual faculties Intellect discovers, discrimi-
