The lecture of Prof. III. w. Slack, of
st. Paul, at the M. E. Church last
evening upon Agassiz as a Naturalist
and Opponent of Evolution, before the
students of the River Falls Institute,
was very instructive and valuable, as
no biography of the great naturalist
has yet been written. After, giving
his early history and his scientific ac-
quirements, the lecturer gave the
views of Agassiz upon the theory ofey-
elution, as held by Huxley, Darwin,
and others. Agassizwas the only man
in America or the world who studied
the theory independent of Huxley aud
Darwin. He was free from English
dictation in scientific matters. He
did not argue but investigated facts,
impartially and refused to accept it as
proved. Darwinism is not evolution
as there are several theories. Before
Agassiz the opposition to it was from
the church or tradition. Both sides
of the question had been argued by
poorly informed disputants. Agassiz
saw no reason to think the laws of ma
ture had changed so that the develop
ment of life forms in the past, if true,
would still continue, which does
not. Prof. Slack is invited to deliver
the lecture before the st. Paul Acade-
my of Sciences, at an early day.

The paper of Rev. G. X. Colver on
Saturday evening last, before the Sci
ence Association, upon Trance and Ep-
idemic Decisions, was listened to by a
large audience. The speaker claimed
that what seemed to be truth or delu-
sion to-day, might prove to better
informed generation. to be the oppo-
site. Some preferred to be deluded in
some things. Some of the issues of
the day, religious and financial, were
probably epidemic delusions. The pa
per was not only sound, but interest
ing, although the subjects were alb
struse.

A correspondent wants to know
where the CRAMPS" were ten or
twelve years ago. or Immediately az
ter the war. We hadn't any then.
The tramp is a product of the last five
years. With the stagnation of bust
ness, the first prominent indication of
which was the Jay Cooke failure, many
men were then thrown out of employ
ment. Manufacturing establish ments
were closed business enterprises of
all kinds were paralyZed: the scanty
earnings of the laboring class were
soon spent; and many undoubtedly
with the best intentions, left their
homes and started upon aimless wan
behring's, ready to work wherever OPP
portunity offered. Others less honest
in their intentions. joined the first
class, and the two soon amalgamated,
forming that great army of tranps
that has infested the country of late.
The approach of better times, the re-
vival of business, the opening of fac
tories, and the like, will, no doubt,
make these itinerants disappear as
rapidly as they appeared.

finish and exquisite tone we have new
er seen equalled. 1t was made by the

and completely obviates the objections
to the upright, Eas heretofore con-
structed. While it has a volume of
tone sufficient for the largest parlor, it
it is so compact in form and light as
to be easily moved from one room to

in tune more easily than the horizon
