For the ARGUS.
Nix. EDITOR:-Wth reference to Mr..
Cooks argument, | am surprised that you
published my remarks at all; tor il is so
contrary 10 the general rule with editors
to publish both sides OF an al gument; and
your example in this instance is really re-
freshing.
You mistake in thinking my ideas are
from Paine or Volney, for they believed
directly the opposite. | do not claim the
proposition that time, space and matter,
are without beginning or end to be a log
ically established truth, but simply Il self
evident one. We cannot possibly COLI
ceive OF time in the past when there was
no time or space; or of time in tile fn-
ture when either will cease.
Matter is something. Something can
not be made from nothing; hence from
our natural and intuitive perceptions we
see that matter never had Il BEGINNING
and can never have an end.
Nothing, considered in the light oil
raw material, is about played out. y"
You ask "what constitutes deep hu-
man instinct ?" know of none deeper
than our natural and intlitive menta
perceptions. You mistake in making ile
say "this world is IN independent exis-
tence, because it is matter" | speak of
matter in the aggretiate as an indepen-
dent existence. This world OF matter. as
relative to the aggregate, amounts hardly
to speck, and Is whirled around in its
place in the great chemical commotion of
the universe, inNccorlance with the eter-
nal law of cause and effect. Law Is neces-
sarily inherent TO matter, for nothing can
exist witllouta a MODE OF existence and that
is the law, which as much belongs to it. as
belongs to the law; they are inseparabIe,
and coeternal.

stitute personality" but that mat

tute personality; tor il it does. than each

is absurd. for one INDEPENDENT person.

COMPARATIVE.

The following, from an English
paper, shows to some extent the es-
timation placed upon our lands by
European writer's. Possibly Lord
Dufferin referred to the Pacific Coast
as we'll as Canada:
Lord Dufferin has been visiting the
outposts OF British domain in the New
World. He has passed through regions
which would startle our mere stay at
home folk, and yet he finds that there is
British territory fertile and promising in
every respect that only waits for men to
cultivate 1t. 1t does not quite realize
Douglas JerrOd's descriptions; tickle the
land with fork and it will smile har-
vest. A man who goes ont there must be
prepared first to submit himself to a
course Of hard work, to look upon severe
obstacles as mere matters OF course, and
consent TO drudgery to which he would
never consent at home. But no man is
worth his salt unless he is prepared to
- rough it, for purpose. TO own
land in Canada, with fair prospects Of
farming paying there, is tar better than to
rent land in England with the almost GER
tainty OF failure. We have lately had Oc-
casion to discuss questions Of immigration
aud we find that our great shipowners,
while admitting that the flow of people to
the American continent will be checked as
to numbers, believe that in the next
year or two they will have to carry pas
sengers Of a better class; men who, with
small capital find that farming, a pur-
snit to which they are devoted, only means
ruin here. There it means property and
chances Of advancement. Landowners

sition, sailed from the navy yard yesterday,
and expects to reach Havre April Goth.
There still remains about 600 tons of ex-
hibits to be sent by the French line Of

Philadelphia, March 2s.-Mr. Sutton, the
most conspicuous opponent Of the directors

legally contesting the right Of the managers
to organize the trust or funding scheme un-
der the authority given at the recent elec.
ton, is under consideration, and will be set
tied definitely in few DAYS.
St. Albans, W., March 2s.-A report

Baltimore, March 2s.-The house Of del

struction Of property.
