Expense Of Living in Germany.

THE cost of living in. Germany has
advanced at very rapid rate during
The past ten years. An instance of this
is found in the average expenses of the
young men who attend the courses Of
lectures at the Heidelberg University;
for their number is SO large and their
condition SO varied that they form Q
fair index of the Nation. In 1871 the
average yearly expenses of these stu
dents were but trifle over $3.50, while
in 1873 the average had increased to
more than $40; that is, it had
doubled in seven years, and during the
interval the gain had been an almost
constantly ascending one.

CANINE sAGACITY.

The GaulOis is responsible for the fol-
lowing remarkable instance of canine sa'
gacity A blind beggar was in the habit
some years since of frequentingth Pont
des SITS. Peres, where he used to station
himself with a clarinet and a very intel.
ligent poodle. The place was well cho'
sen, and charitable contributions poured
into the little wooden bowl which the
dog held in his mouth. One day the
blind man, who had reached an advanc'
ed age, was not to be seen. He had
fallen ill, in fact, and was unable to pur
sue his a~vocation. His faithful Compan'
ion, however, continued to frequent the
accustomed spot, and the passers-by, to
whom he was familiar, understood that
his master was unwell and, touched by
Lis fidelity, dropped their pence into his
howl in increased numbers. AT er a
time the beggar went the way of all
fish. an event which the willy poodle
carefully kept to himself until he also
became an absentee from the Point DIES
SITS. Peres. His disappearance produced
a great sensation among his numerous
clientele and a search was prosecuted,
when the poor animal was found lying
dead in a cellar near his former masters
abode, a sum of 90. 1000 francs in bonds of
the Orleans Railway being discovered
under the litter on which he was
stretched.

A GENTLEMEN.

There is no cut and dried recipe for a
gentleman. A gentleman is a gentle
man, and there's an end of it. He does
not want to be anybody else, because he
does not recognize any superior, save of
the titu1ary and disciplinary sort. Your
vulgar person, or even your person who,
without being vulgar, is not gentleman,
is conscious of his inferiority, and peri.
odically labors to conceal it or cloud it.
There is no conCealing it, and the at
tempt only exposes the fact more glar.
ingly to view. This sort Of person, too,
is not calm, not self possessed he is
fussy, solicitous, domineeIing by Circum-
stances instead of quietly settling down
to a level with them. The gentleman is
quietly equal to any emergency. He
never swaggers; he never makes unnec-
essary apologies or explanations, He
takes things as he finds them. Now and
then, no doubt, the i~diosyncrasies of
genius will lend an exceptional fervor to
the manner of a gentleman ard Lady
Blessington Was unaware of this, that
she expressed herself surprised that
Byron's manner in conversation was
not as quiet as she would have expect
ed from a person of his rank. The OBJ
s~ervation was at once stupid and snob'
bish. She made no allowance for par
ticularity Of temperament.

THE DOCTRINE OF EVOLUTION.
Prof, Huxley Thinks 1t is Now an Established
Fact.

Prof, Huxley Thinks 1t is Now an Established
Fact.
Last night Prof. Huxley gave a dis.
course on Coming Of Age of the Origin
of Species" at the Royal Institution in
the presence Of a crowded audience
The Professor referred at the outset to
the appearance of Mr.. Darwin's book in
October, 1859, a copy of the original edi.
ton of which he held in his hand. The
doctrine of evolution, on which the
work was founded, had spread its infu-
enCe over the whole realm Of thought.
The question which they had to consid-
er was how it was that that change had
taken place. There were two factors
which had to be considered in determ-
lining this question, the one the state Of
mind to " hich the evidence was offered,
and the other and, he regretted to say,
the subordinate factor, the nature Of the
evidence itself. In 1859 the state Of
mind Of the biological world was abso.
lutely different to what it was now, and,
secondly, the evidence of the truth or
islsehood Of the main principles was alb
%sOlutely different to what it Was at the
present time. AS respects the state Of
mind, be confessed that he looked back
with astoniahment at the notions which
they were ready to entertain at that
time. There was no stronger illustration
OF this than the mode Of solving the
question Of the past history Of this
globe.
