An Indian Story.

1t has been said that District Judge in Brit
ish India requires the frmness of European
and the cunning of an Asiatic, an axiom fully
borne out by the following anecdote Shortly
before the mutlny of 1857. young officer of the
English line, while passing through native viii
lage, was annoyed by the importantly of a Hin
doc beggar, whom no rebuff seemed to dscon-
cert At length, when the filthy yagrant Sec
onded his petition by laying his grimy hand upon
the EDgllshman'S arm the latter, unable to con-
troll himself any logger, repaid the freedom with

his bewilderment at this unlooked.for catastro-

the spot, and, with frantic cries for vengeance
upon the murderer of their countryman. dragged
him OF to the local magistrate, carrying with
them the corpse of the slain man. Matters might
we'll look gloomy for the prisoner, for the body
showed not the slightest sign of life, while the
culprlt himself, overwhelmed with horror OF the
fatal consequences of his momentary passion
faltered and trembed in way that would have
made an ordinary judge convict him on the spot.
But, happily for him, the magistrate was vete-
ran, whom no cOntretemps. however unexpected,
could find unprepared. He heard the story to 40
end without word of comment, and then quietly
remarked that before passing sentence he wished
to be quite certain that the man was really dead
The Hindoos broke in with terrible outcry at
the idea of the sacred remains being touched by
an unbelever. "Oh, don't need to touch him, ;

upon the bare breast of the corpse. Instantly

We have received from q correspondent in
Calcutta a photograph of q child which has alt
the appearance of having been born with eau
dial appendage. The correspondent, in sending
the photograph, writes: Il enclose photo

Darwin, Of child born with tail, few months

rents are healthy coolies, and this is the first of
their family, SO that future births may be looked
forward to, if not with certainty OF result, at
least with interest as to detail The child has
sensibility in the tail, though as yet no power
over it but this is not considered very remark
able, seeing that monkeys fresh from the virgin
forest have not for some time after their birth
the ability to wag theirs. There is no CANNON

who has both seen and handled the child and be
pronounces it to be healthy boy, well devel.
oped in all its parts, and, with the exception
which creates the oddity, having no other NAL

have said, bears marks of being genuine, and the
correspondent is Trustworthy, and not at all
likely to be the victim of or to perpetrate hoax.

Mems Monkey Ancestors.

A dinner was given lately, at Paris. to Pro-
fessor Hackel. of jena. by French savants. In
bis speech be expressed qualification at the pro-
gress OF evolutionist ideas among Frenchmen of
science, and remarked that professors and preach
ers who ridicued mans descent from the ape
unwittingy furnished the best proof of it, their
pride and childish vanity being foibles which
might have been bequeathed by the ape. Man,
however, did not descent from any known an
tbropoid, but was branch of the catarhiue mon-
keys OF the Old World. The continuity of ma
ture was daily becoming more evident, and su-
perstition, mysticism and theology would give
way to reason, casualty, and mechanism. Among
philosophic minds. at least the believers in final
causes of the universe, immutability Of species,
sterility OF bybrids, geological cacaclysms. sue

were formed chemically by spontaneous genera

tails in the waters. Nohow else could the ORR

had struck the last blow at the doctrine OF final
causes, and modern morphology was irreconcl-
liable not only with the dogma of the creation.
but with that of providence or vague ideastic
pantheism. of Hege, Schopenhauser and Hart
mann. The transformation Of living organisms
under the influence of adaptation, hereditary Sc
lection, and struggle for existence. could not, in
deed, be mathematically demonstrated. but its
existence could not be doubted, any more than
psychology or social science. and anomalies would
soon be explained by the laws Of mechanics,
were all the elements procurable; but the insta-
bility of the elements constituting the tissue of
organised beings made biological problems very
complex. The speech was much applauded.

Steam Heating.

A company is trying to get permission from
the New York Board of Aldermen to lay lines
of steam pipes along the streets of the city, for
the purpose Of supplying to the citizens steam
for heating aud cooking purposes as gas and
water are now supplied. There is here good OPP
portunity to apply some of the lessons Of expe-
Renee. Every city that has permitted the laying
Of gas and water-pipes by private corporations
has had occasion to regret that it did not in the
beginning take the business into its own hands
or else secure to itself the power to regulate
charges made for the service. 1t is not at all
improbable that steam heating may become as
common in 1900, as is the use of gas to-day
and when permission is given to lay the pipes,
there should be come sensible reservation oil
power calculated to protect the public interests.
Special privileges of this kind should be paid
for outright, or else the community that grants
them should be amply protected from the abuses
to which they may give rise.-Philadelphia

SARATOGA, Aug. 29.-The railroad investiga-

March, 1872, by the railr ads and oil prod ucers
aud refners outside of the Standard company,
that rates should be impartial under the same
circumstances. He deemed that the agreement
was in force, but claimed the circumstances
were different. He attributed the Standards

that company, but to the sharpness of the men
composing the company. Oil transportatio1is

they would control it's price. He did
not mean to let the company compel
him to carry oil at price which
would not pay simply because others did. He
did not think they could be put down by legis-
latiOn. He did not think the West bad too
