The vacancy in the office OF Inspector Of FISH
cries In England. caused by the death Of Mr..
Frank Buckland has hoen filled by tho ap-
pointment OF Prof. Huxley. Tho duties OF the
position are not onerous. tho salary 10 good
one. and tho position seems to bo n sort of re-
ward for eminent services rendered TO natural
history. Men who give themselves up to tho
advancement Of science can rarely earn more
than modest living. Prof. Agassiz once said
Tint he was scientific man. and had no timo to
waste in making money 1t seems. therefore.
nothing but right that government should have
some means at its disposal to place mon OF such
value to the commonwealth out OF the reach
OF anxiety about obtaining bread and cheese
for themselves and their families. Prof. Hux-
Icy is. moreover. a man whose researches emf
nently flt him for his present position. He be-
gan life in the medical service OF the Royal
Navy. and his observations during q four years.

return. The estimation in which he is held In
scientific circles may be gauged by the popu-

personal and party rancor." He expressed his
belief that. lin the rensonableness. In the

parsons are proverbially odious. and the Dean
entered upon field open to discussion when he
compared the English papers " with those whose
language and utterances are so unworthy Of the
Great Republic OF the West" 1t Is pleasant to

OF American newspapers published forty. thirty.

OF the American press Is its independent and
seemingly incurable irreverenco-thnt irrev-

spring OF American humor. both In Journalism
and literature" To account for this tho iol-
