This society held It's first meeting for TIC
new year ct iis house, 7, Adolph Terrace
Londsn, on the Sd Of Jssusry, the yice-pres-
idout in tbs chair The honorary secretary
Captain f. Petrie) reported that upwards q
o hundred menberE andsssociates had joined
during the ysar now ended, Of whom very
large propotioD,-pearly one-hslf -wera
Indian, colonial and American, and the
total strength Of the institute was now
nearly 800, including macy English and CO.
lonisl prslatss. Several loading scientific mer
at koms and abroad had written papers fol
the society in furthersnce of its objscts
namely, tie investigation Of philosophical
and scientific questions, especially those aaid
to initiate against the truth of Revelation.
The new arrangements enabled foreign and
colonial members, and leading scientific men
in any country, to receive proof copies of tbs
papers, and to give their opinions iR manu-
script; these were afterwards combined with
the discussions at the meetings held in Lon
don, and the result was IN Embarrassment of
tie interest aad value Of the quarterly jour
nal; and colonial applications for admission
as guinea associates were becoming very
numerous. A paper en- "The Early
Destinies Of Man." wss then read by
Mr.. j. E. Howard, F. R. S., f. L. 9 etc., in
which he considered the early d,stinies OF
mankind rs viewed by science, philosophy
and religion. Science, so highly 10 BIO es-
teemed and valued, especially in regard to
the created universe, was first reviewed when
considering the existence of matter; she
hew. yer naturally failed when We come te
consider the beginning of things and tbs
cause and ersstiSn Of matter. Philosophy
WAS, fer obvious reRsens, on unsafe and Ger.
tainly an impractical guide. Religion or di'
vine philosophy alone seemed to lasd cur in
auiries to q sstiEfsetory result. As regard!
rain, the description in Scripture Of his orig
iual dcetitinies represented hiGa OF
worthy of his high original, bul
| fallen thersfron. This whole scooun
was reflected in the various traditions Of the
nations of he world, and embodied, though
distorted, in It's great religious systesas, TIE
presests attempts to supersede or set atide thu
religious history of maDkind wfs fraugbt with
mitchievious consequences, and was in itsell
eminently unreasonable. Tho whole course
Of history rsfuted the fgmezt Of man raiaing
hinsslf BY slow degrees to the conception 81
a supreme being. As far back as NO could
trscs the earliest ideas of man led to the
diligent study of the heavenly bodies, asd
bore marks Of high culture ana Of strong re-
ligious tendencies. In conclusion, tho author
considered that tho esrly destines of msa
forsshadowsd thu completion of his history.

10 the Editor of the Herald.
We are constant readers down this way Of
your valuable paper and are glsa to see that
your correspondents from Brentwood,
Houston and Weathorfsrd are presenting the
cl.ims Of Hon. j. w. Threckmsrton for the
United States senate. We will add to what
has already been said that Governor Throck
morton has mary warm friends in Wood
county and East Texas Texas generally, and
we would be glad TO sec him 60 to tho SEN
ate. Colonel Smith, federal apprentice
uLser Hayes, has been hsre hard at work for
Maxey. We cannot understand why it is
that be United States officials, appointed by
President K. B. Hayes TO manage
the star mail route service,
are so anxious and manifest 50 much interest
in the reelection of General Msxey. The
fact that postal agents and republican off.
cisls ere working for Maxey, has created
some little suspicion in these parts among
democrats. Let US have the coed old pa
triot who ha, stood by the people Of Texas
in her state and national councils for thirty
years. Yours truly, EAST TEXAS.

and are more or less influenced by it,
although not enslaved as are the FRENCH
to their French newspapers. To trifie
with such constituency is abomina-
BILE: to feed them with blood pudding is
atrocious; to present word pictures Of
unchaste deeds constantly to the young
is criminal. Yet, considering our large
population, the mixed character, the
vast extent Of our country, the great
number of newspapers, the hundreds Of
millions OF copies in circulation, the
number sedulously devoted to the bust
ness Of corrupting the popular mind is
not so large as might be supposed.
