A SAD MISTAKE.

A Deadwood Clerk Shot by His Employer.
Deadwood Times, Dec. I'd.
A very unfortunate mistake occurred on
Saturday night through which an estimable
young man received serious injuries and
narrow escaped losing his life. Jan es T.
Estee, clerk for Flanders, Hamilton T. Co.,
sleeps with Mr.. Hamilton in frame build
ing in the rear of the store. Shortly after
midnight Saturday, he quietly arose, went
into the store and secured the key to an out
house, and passed back into the yard, in
doing which he created noise that aroused
Mr.. Hamilton who, having cause to suspect
that certain parties were attempting to bur-
glarize the store jumped up, and, with pistol
in hand, ran to the front door, from which
position full view of the interior of the
store is obtainable. He renamed there
brief period when he heard young Estee re-
turning, and believing that the noise
was created by burglars attempting to escape
by the rear way, Mr.. Hamilton ran to the
back door of the sleeping apartment, opened
it hastily, and discovered the prese ence of an
unrecognizable person Standing few feet
distant. The latter. surprised by the sud-
den opening of the door, started back and
unconsciously elevated his hands, motion
that Mr.. Hamilton mistook for an effort to
draw pistol, whereupon he discharged his
weapon, the first shot penetrating young
Estee, and as the latter gave no word or
sign to indicate his identity, Mr.. Hamilton
again fired, fortunately without effect. At
the second shot, Estee exclaimed, "don't
shoot; tits Es:ee." The shooting aroused
Mr.. Flanders, who, with Mr.. Hamilton,
rushed TO the relief of their clerk, who was
found seriously wounded in the left thigh,
Drs. Bevens and McKeown were summoned
and every attention was bestowed upon the
unfortunate young man. His condition this
morning was such as to encourage the belief
that the only ultimate serious result will be
stiffening and shortening of the limb. Mr..
E.tee is about 20 years of age, and formerly
lived at Leroy, N. ", near the home of Mr..
Hamilton. No blame can attach to the lat
ter, who acted precisely as 999 men in each
thousand would under similar circum-
stances.

tical application OF it alosc, to which the
designation alchemy was given. There
Is an unccasing progression, in which all
things take part, to Il better and nObler
state, In this slow development, Nature
has no need to hasten she has eternity
tn work in. Thus, in the mineral world,
base and unworthy metals, such as lead
and tin, are slowly on their way to per
lection. They reach their gonl on turn
ing into gold. 1t is then for US to as
certain the tuvoring conditions, and by
initiating or increasing them, to hasten
on the work.
The starting point Of Christendom in
the theory of evolution QOr the Moham
medans had now ceased to philosophizc)
was the publication 10y Copcrnicus OF
the book DE Revolutjonibus Orbium
CcIcstium.' In this the Pythagorean
view of the cmpncement oI the solar
system was revived. The way for the
restoration had been prepared by such
books rs that of CUsa on Learned Igno-
rance He conceived of the universe as
Il vast organism, the life of which is the
breath OF God, and which has neither
centre nor circumference, but is infinite
as its Maker. Such views were largely
prevalent in Italy, at that time the focus
of infdeIity; and there Copernicus had
been. This work was followed by Keep
ler's great discovery of the three laws
that bear his name. The Reformation
came. 1t did not much change the mat
ter. 1t insisted on the Mosaic views, and
would tolerate no natural science that
did not accord with them. Nevertheless
under the shadow Of the political power
it shortly gathered, Newton's "Principia"
was safely published. The two great
powers into which Christendom was
divided held each other in check. The
sectarlan divisions fast springing up in
Professionalism found occupation in their
contentious with each other. The bear
ing which Ncwton's book had consisted
chiefly in this; it gave indisputable
reasons that Kepler's laws are n mathe-
matical necessity. For the finger of Prov.
idence it substituted mechanical force.
Aud thus the reign Of law, this great
essential to the theory of evolution, was
solidly established.

GERMS OF DARwINIsM.

In the works of Maller (174S), and
again in those OF Button, the old doctrine
Of evolution renppears. A more formal
presentiment was however, made 10y
Lamarck in his "Philosophie Zoologique"
in 1909 He advocated the doctrine of
descent, and announced the propositions
now known as Darwinism. Lamarck
recognized the struggle OF each against
all. He sav plainly the influence of
heredty, and understood the relation of
environment and adaptation. He defined
in the clearest manner the doctrine OF
transmutation and theory of descent.
According to him, if time be allowed,
any modification may take place. So far
from meeting with acceptance, the ideas
of Lamarck brought upon him ridicule
and obloquy. He was as much misrep-
resented rs in former times the Arabian
native philosophers had been. The
great influence of Cuvier, who had made
himself champion of the doctrine of
permanence OF species, caused Lamarck's
views to be silently ignored, or, if by
chance they were referred to, denounced.
They were condemned as morally repre-
heRsible and theologically dangerous.
In this the authority of Cuver in
regard to evolution acted as the
authority of Newton had
done in regard to the undulatory theory
of light. In like manner the views OF
Oxen met with resistance, especially his
deduction that the highest animals are
the result of development, not Of crea-
tion. Man, he significantly says, has
been developed, not created, He con-
ccived all nature to be in process of
evolution. His demonstration that the
bones OF the skull are only vertebral
notifications, however, rcconciled many
persons to more favorable opinion of
his hypothesis Of develoment. GeotI'rey
st. HiIare qs2s) did not doubt that
animals now living are descended Ivy an
unbroken succession from extinct ones,
by transformation from form to form
that. different species are degenerations
OF the same type, being due to the inhu
,encq 1f. the environment (NoSae ambianD.
He thus became the opponent of Cuvier,
and did very much to break down the
influence of that zoologist.
Though the principles of the doctrine

q There are some men in East
Tennessee who have joined the
Radical party within the last four
or five years. AS a matter Of course
these fellows changed their party
relations with the hope Of getting
some kind OF office. With brazen
effrontery these men push them
selves forward and demand that the
Radicals take them up and elect
them in preference to the Old Guard
who have been Republicans all the
time. We notice that some of the
Republican writer's are beginning to
protest against this thing. 1t is
well. II the Republican party are
able to elect men OF their own way
of thinking, to Office. it would GER
tainly seem that justice should de-
mand that those who bore the heat
and the burden of the day should
be preferred to one who has been
fighting that party for years and
only joined it now for the selfish
purpose of getting into office. A
political weather-cock is not fit to be
trusted by any party in this region
and had better be q little modest in
their demands for preferment or
their new friends may slap them in
the mouth little harder than will
be comfortable.

A Discounted Pupil.

Miss Lizzie Strombcrger, principal Of the
Mccormick School building, was arraigued in the
Police Court on Saturday morning, charged with
committing an assault on Charles Tenant, one Of
her pupils. From the evidence 1t appeared that
this boy was disobedicnt, and his teacher Mis-
woodard kept him In after school. In attempting
to give him whipping he resisted, and finding
herself unable to manage him, she called on Miss
stromberger who is the principal ofthe school, for
assistance. The boy then went to the Police Court
and obtained q warrant for the arrest of Miss
Stromberger, who, II was shown, did not strike a
single blow.
Judge Smell stated that, having been teacher
himself he was well aware of the obstacles which
they had TO surmount In leading the youthful idea
up the hill Of knowledge and that IN his opinion
the lady had acted perfectly right. and he took
great pleasure In discharging her. He also directed
that she be relieved from her bonds, given in a
former case
Miss Stromberger was congratulated at the result
Of the trial and left the courtroom with large
party of friends.
The whole affhir appears to be q conspiracy on
the part of certain boys to have Miss Stromberger
discharged from her position, as they have found
that she will not stand any trifling This school
