Huxley on Republicanism.

In his recent book on the Philosopher
Hume, one of the series OF " English
Men Of Letters" Harper 4 Brothers)
Professor Huxley gives expression in.
cidentally to some OF his own political
views. AS to the monarchy he says:
AT the present day the danger to mon
archy in Britain would appear to lie,
not in increasing love for equality. for
which, except as regards the law, Eng
lishmen have never cared, but rather
entertain an aversion nor in any alb
stract democratic theories, upon which
the mass OF EnglisLmen pour the con-
tempt with which they view theories in
general; but in the constantly -increas-
ing tendency of monarchy to become
slightly absurd from the ever. widening
discrepancy between modern political
ideas and the theory OF kingship. As
Hume observes, even in his time people
had left off making believe that king
was different species of man from
other men and since his days more and
more such make-believes have become
impossible, until the maintenance Of
kingship in coming generations seems
likely to depend entirely upon whether
it is the general opinion, that q herea-
itary president OF our virtual republic
will serve the general interest better
than an elective one or not" Speaking
of republicanism, Professor Huxley re.
iterates the great truth so often incul-
Gated by Washington and his compa-
triots: 1.-The true reason for doubling
the permanency of republic, even if it
is ever established, lies in the fact that
u republic requires for it's maintenance
far higher standard of morality and of
intelligence in the members of the State
than any other form of government.
Samuel gave the 1sraelites king be-
cause they were not righteous enough
to do without one, with pretty plain
warming of what they were to expect
from the gift. And, up to this time,
the progress of such republics as have
been established in the world has not
been such as to lead to any confident
expectation that their foundation is laid
on sufnciently-secure subsoil of pub
lie spirit, morality, and intelligence.
On the contrary, they exhibit examples
OF personal corruption and political
profigacy as fine as any hot-bed of des
potism has ever produced, while they
fail in the primary duty Of the admin
istration OF justice, as none but an effete
despotism has ever failed" Professor
Huxley believes that public opinion in
England has passed through and left far
behind the stage when absolute mon
archy could be recovered, and while he
sees the virtual republic" which Eng
land now is, steadily tending to become
formal republic. he does not look for

THE TURKISH BATH.-Dr. Fleming,
of Glasgow, has presented to the British
Medical Association an account of some
experiments by the author upon him
self at the temperatures of from one
hundred and thirty to one hundred and
seventy degrees Fahrenheit, upon the
weight, temperature, pulse, respiration
and secretions. The result showed that
the immersion Of the body in hot, dry
air, produced loss of weight to an ex-
tent considerably greater than normal,
amounting on the average at the rate of
about forty ounces an hour. This
was accompanied by an increase in the
temperature of the body and rise in
the pulse rate, with at first q fall, then
a rise in the rapidity of respiration.
The amount of solids secreted by the
kidneys was increased, and coincidently
the amount of ures. The sweat con.
tanned a quantity of solid matter in So
luton, among other things considera-
bic amount of ures. The most impor-
tant effect of the bath, however, was
the stimulation Of the emunctory action
OF the skin. By this means, the tissues
could. as it were, be washed by passing
water through them from within. The
increased temperature and pulse rate
pointed to the necessity of caution in
the use of the bath when the circulatory
system was diseased.

" Going A-Fishing."

The man who invented the fishhook
will some day have monument. It will
be granite column five hundred feet
high, built by the boys alone. A bov
might possibly get along with marbles,
tops. stills, balls and kites, yet he
would feel that there was an aching void
enough somewhere. A kite does we'll
as long as it will outsail all other kites
and the strir .oesnt break, and pair
of stills are good property until after
the first fall ; but for real solid pleas
ure the fish-hook can never be beaten.
A boy will always expect more and get
less from it than anything else invented,
but he never gets too discouraged to try
again.
The Smith boy was observed trying
his luck yesterday in pond on va
cant lot on Alfred street. As far back
as last December his mother prom sed
him half day out of school as soon as
the fish began to bite, and yesterday
was the glorious day. Where there's
water there ought to be fish, according
to every boys reckoning, and this
youth surrounded that wee little
pond hole with its barrel of muddy
water with just as much enthusiasm as
. man would throw line into Lake st.
Clair. He had ham, sweetcake, po-
tato, dried beef and boiled egg for bait,
and when he had spit on his bait and
cast in his hook all the Seth Greens
ever born couldn't have convinced him
that he would fail of at least one good
bite. For two long hours he fshed
for sturgeon and pickerel and pike,
changing the bait now and then and
never forgetting to spit on it, and as he
hauled up for the last time he would
simply admit that it wasn't Just the
right sort of day to 60 fishing. If he
had had little one to carry home his
triumph would have been more COM
plete. but yet his eyes were like dia-
monds as he met two boys on the cor
ner and called out:
Say! I've stayed out of school a
whole half day and been a-fishing! I
didn't catch any fish, cos they were all
on their nests, but you ought to have
seen the big frog which tumbled off o

The Secretary of War, in response to
appeals, states that he has no authority
to issue rations for the destitute negroes
in Kansas. We are surprised that the
negroes should not know better than to
ask for rations until they are entitled to
them. They probably have no legal
right to them now. But if they pull
off their clothes, steal few horses and
declare that they will not work, and
that they must be fed, and then il they
will kill few peace-commissioners, the
government will issue them rifles and
cartridges to kill some more, and it will
issue rations and tents, and fatten them
up all winter and give them all the
fighting they want in the summer. The
