singular fate these imperfections had
since 1S49, been supplied by researches
all over the world, especially those in
the neighborhood of Athens, and by
discoveries of the American geologists
in the Western Territories. The fact
was that the doctrine of evolution was
no longer a matter of speculation, it
was an absolute fact. The fact was,
there was no other supposition which
could connect the facts revealed by re-
cent discoveries except that which was
called evolution. He might be told
that these various objects might have
been developed spontaneously and Gre
ated spontaneously. He had nothing
to say to any one who advanced that
theory any more than he should have
to say to the savage who said
that the sun set in the west at night
and was recreated before its rising the
next day. "a laugh.] Thus in the
year 1880 the doctrine of evolution was
no longer q matter of speculation. 1t
was simply the only way of coherently
and nationally explaining the facts of
paleont0logy. - London Standard.

HOW 1T SOUNDS.

Some writer has produced a poem
entitled, Sounds from the Sanctum. :"
1t reads just too pretty, and gives rise
to the thought that the author never
visited the sanctum when business was
in full blast. If he had called about
midnight, for instance, he would have
seen two saints, one poring over a
proof-slip, the other holding the copy
and the sounds would have been some
thing like this: Proof-reader-"As
flowers without the sunshine fare
comma-so- comma without you
comma-do full stop-breathe a
dark and dismal mare" CopyhoIder;
Thunder! not mare air." Proof
reader: I" I breathe dark and dismal
flowers" "Copy-
holder: "Shoot the comma" Proof
reader" 'Tis done. AS flowers with
out the sunshine fare-semi-colon
confound slug seven, he never justifies
his lines-No joy in ife-comma-no
worms Copy holder: Warmth"
Proof reader. No warmth I share
comma-And health and vigorous
flies" Copy-holder: +" Blazes! Health
and vigor fly" Proof-reader- Health
and vigor fiy-fun STOP" That's about
the sound of it when poetry is on deck.

A PREACHER at Portland told his
congregation that he had personally
tested the efficacy of prayer. He was
out on lake in a boat, when by mis-
chance he lost both oars. The wind
was raising, night was coming on. and
he was in imminent danger of being
and finding watery grave.
What could he do? Evidently noth-
ing himself; SO he knelt down and
prayed long and fervently for deliver
ance. He placed himself in the hands
of the Lord, and so was saved. Capt.
Sweetsir listened to the story with
breathless interest, and was manifestly
by the climax. After
waiting in vain. until the end of the
sermon for the details, he said: "Say
Mr.. Preacher, want you to tell me
how you got ashore" The minister
explained that man saw him from
the shore and put out in q boat to res
cue him.

A LADY of Chatham, North Carolina
had a gold watch and finger ring,
which she often expressed a desire to
be buried with whenever she was
dead. Finally she was taken ill and
her attending physician pronounced
life extinct. At her burial her desire
was complied with, and the second
night after interment white man and
a negro went to the grave and dug up
her body. AS they took the lid Off
the coffin and the darkey began pull.
ing off the ring she rose up. AT this
both men took fright and ran away.
Finally the negro went back and she
made him go and get the white man
and both of them then go home with
her. Her husband tainted when he
saw her, thidking it was her ghost.
She is living yet.

wHERE SARAH WAS.

A Wayne county farmer had some
wheat stolen . few nights ago and he
was so sure he knew who the thief was
that he came into Detroit and secured
q warrant for certain young man
working for him. When the case
came up for trial in Justice alley the
defendant said he could prove an alibi.
In order to do this he brought in " his
girl" buxom lass of %. She took
the stand and swore that he had sat
up with her from o'clock in the eve
ming until daylight the next morning.
People can easily be mistaken"
observed the plaintiffs lawyer.
+" don't care-I know he was there
she replied.
What did you talk about ?''
!. Love-" she promptly answered.
" What time did the old folks go to
bed ?'
"I give 'em the wink about TO-"
"Sure he was there at midnight are
you ?"
Eyes, sir"
Why are you sure ?"
She blushed, looked over to her
lover and laughed, and getting nod of
the head to go on she said:
"Well, sir, just as the clock struck
IL the old man jumped out of bed, up
stairs, and hollered down. Sarah,
your ma wants some o. that catnip
teal and we got such a start that we
broke the back of the rocking chair
and went over backward kerfiunk."
= Then the jury must understand
you were seated on Samuel's knee?"

and his honor remembered the days
of his youth and sustained the obJec-

DURING religious services in the iail

DURING religious services in the Jail
at Carson, New, and after clergyman
had addressed the prisoners on the
text " Honesty is the best policy,n
thief named Jones asked if he could
make few remarks. Permission be-
ing given, he said: The expression
that honesty is the best policy was
first thrown out on q thieving world
by Ben Franklin, an old humbug. I
don't agree with Ben Franklin that
honesty should be policy dodge. If
a mans honest, he's honest. anyhow;
and if he just simply keeps correct
from policy he's bad egg at heart,
and only waiting to get the confidence
of the community and rob them of
thousands. A man who is honest
from policy would steal if he had the
nerve and the chance. We fellows in
here had too much nerve, and were too
candid to conceal our real character"
