II NUISANCE.

Messrs. Editors: 1t has frequently
happened that, when entertainments
have been given in the Thcspian Hall,
much annoyance has been occasioncd
by tho boistcrous conduct of small
boys of both colors Oh the back seats.
The police heretofore have done very
little 10 abatc this nuisance, but it is
hoped that our new Intcndant, who
made good start in regulating the
town, will instruct his officers to pay
special attention to this matter to-
night, SO that quiet, well-bchaved pco-
pie caE enjoy Blind Toms music to
the fullest extent. OBSERVER.

New York, April 10.-The annual
election for the Sachem Of Tammany
Society, held last night at the Wigwam,
proved the most exciting held in many
years. The Kelly faction at the outset
had been confident Of success, and the
other party, headed by Judge McAdam
were just as confident that victory
would be theirs. Three tickets were
in the field. The election resulted in
the success Of The Kelly ticket, which
was elected by a majority of 50. The
total number of votes cast was III.

Thackeray has never To my thinking, entered the
pure aerial region the region of poetry, expressly
in the conception and define alton of j. j. MIR.
Samuel Ridley, butler and confidential valet to "A

having such a son as John James" sickly and
almost deformed child" When he was six years
old. his father remarked with tears in his eyes he
wasn't higher than plate basket" AL school, in
class out of 1t, he made no way, timid whimi-
pering thing that always wanted to get to his
mother. Poor Mr.. Ridley thought he was afflicted
with q son who was little better than an idiot But
little Miss Cam found J. j. out. That boy hall

more wit IN his little finger than you have in all

Miss Cam sits at her cracked piano. and the
music she evokes from it has magical effect upon
the boy. He listens with all his SOUL with tears
sometimes in his great eyes with cr0wding fancies
filing bis brain and throbbing at his heart as the
artist plies her humble instrument. She plays old
music OF Handel and Haydn. and the little chamber
anon swells into cathedral, and he who listens
beholds altars lighted, priests ministenng, far
children swinging censers. great Oriel windows
cleaning in sunset, and seen through arohed col
nmns and avenues Of twilight marble" There IL
nothing like this in Vanity Fair"

A LARGE CYCAn-

The Royal Gardens, Kew. have just received
through Sir Ferdinand Won Mueller, Govern
remarkable Australian Cycadaceous stem which
has ever been imported into England. It is
about four feet high, five and half feet in cir
c'imterencc,. and weighs about six hundred
by Won Mueller as WacrO=aDsia Woorei in
honor OF Mr., Charles Moore, Director of the
botanic Garden, Sydney. The exhibition OF
two stems (of which that secured for and sent
to Kew is one) in the Queensland Court at the
Melbourne Exhibition seems to have drawn at
tentlon to the species. The plants appear to
have been obtained from the mountainous dis
trlct near SprinSsure i'll Queensland, where speci-
mems have been seen twenty feet in height,
with girth OF six feet four inches, cones meas
uring two to three feet i'll length, and leaves
placed in the Palm House. 1t is in excellent
condition, and there is reason to hope that it
will in time push n new crown of leaves. But
even if it does not it will form unique museum
specimen.

! Professor T. H. Huxley gave mt York the
1 Jother day compact summary OF the rise and
/ progress OF palrontology, and The hypofhescs
which have been framed TO account for its
I facts. Ihc whole fabric of panontologv, he
saiu, Is based upon two propositions: the first
as tiiat fossils are the remains of animals and
plants; ana the second is, that the stratiiied
rocks IN which they are found are scdimcntarv
| deposits; and each of these propositions Is
founded upon the same axiom that like effects
imply like causes. II there is any cause COM
spctent To produce q fossil stem, or shell, or
bone, except living being, then paluontology
1 has no foundation if the stratifcation of the
/ rocks Is not the effect of such causcs AS nj

iSucceedcd Que another. But, If these two pro-
positions are granted, there is no escape as it
sappcarcd TO him, from three very important
conclusions. The first is that living matter has
existed upon the earth for n vast length OF
time, certainly for millions of years. The
second Is that, during this lapse of time the
forms of living matter have undergone re-
pc1tcd changes the effect of which has been
| that the animal and vegetable population at
any period of the carth's history contains some
species which dad not exist ut some antcccdcnt
period, and others which ceased to exist AZ
some subsequent period The third is that in
the case OF many groups of mammals and some
7oi reptilcs, III which one type can be followed
through considerable extent of geological
] time, the series of different forms by which the
] type IS represented at successive intervals OF
ihiS time Is exactly such a. it would he if they

facts CT the history OF the earth guaranteed by

Az present these truths, said Professor lluX-

llrst Is that, in the of thc history Of the
