THE WEEPING PROPHET. DIR. j. r.
Yeager, of Burlington, n. j., is known as
the g Weeping Prophet" He believes the
mysteries OF the future are revealed to
him, and mingles his prophecies with
tears. He does not practice medicine,
and it is doubtful whether he deserves
the title OF doctor at all. His business
is that of a religious book agent, and he
maintains that he can get the power at
any time from heaven to make person
purchase one of his books. Every sale
he makes is attributed by him to divine
favor. One Of his claims is that he can
stop clock at any time by merely com.
handing it to cease ticking. He drives
around in sulky behind worn.out
horse, which he says he never has to
harness. He merely stands outside the
barn-door and orders the animal to come
out. The door at once opens, and the
horse appears drawing the wagon already
harnessed He relieves his wife from
cooking meals, so he says, by simply re.
questing the meat to cook and the pota.
toes to boil. He took great deal Of in.
terest in the present Guiteau trial, and
became very much perplexed over the
testimony, spending several days in his
room seeking guidance in the matter.
Suddenly it flashed upon him from above

chapter from Congressional history, in
which it associates the names of Webster,
Clay, Calhoun and Benton, who were
contemporaries, and the leading intel

gave their services to the country. Mr..
Clay was the Oldest Of the four. He was
born April II, l777. Webster came next,
having been born January Is, 1852.
Benton was born on the l4th of March,
in the same year, and Calhoun came into

A curious case is reported from Rut-

kiss died recently at the age of 70 years.
When about p years old he had severe
attack of brain fever, from the effects of
which he became insane, in which con.
dition he remained until within about
fifteen hours of his death. He then sud.
denly became sane after forty years OF
arrangement, and asked his wife to sing.
She was unable to sing, but repeated a
hymn with which she was familiar, and
to her surprise he repeated after her as
coherently and intelligently, and with as
much feeling as if his mind had never
wandered. He repeated one or two othe,
hymns, and then became unconscious ant
remained so until he died.

A DEARTH OF IyoRY.-It is not I'M
likely that ivory will soon become
so scarce that its use in the shape of
pianoforte keys, knife handles, and
fans will be reserved for the affiuent.
The rapid advances in the value of
ivory are causing some uneaSiness
in the market. At The last quarterly
sale, which closed on the 2Sth ult.,
there were only 81 tons offered-in-
Guiding 10 tons withdrawn from pre-
vious auctions--as against 1872 tons
offered in April, 1851. The falling
off was mainly owing to the continued
scarcity of Cape-only Il tons-and
the limited supply of West Coast
Africa-II tons. From Zanzibar and
Bombay there were 33 tons, "a tons
from Alexandria, and nine tons from
Malta. All descriptions, except for
billiard-ball purposes, have gone up
from f3 to "a per cwt., and the ivory
cutters have resolved for the second
time this year to raise their prices.
The stores in the docks this year
amount to 1873 tons, compared with
213 tons for the corresponding period
of last year. Mr.. w. Wostenholm,
HolIy-Street, Sheffield, has just had
invoiced to him no fewer than 522
tusks, which, he says, will all be
cleared out in a fortnight. These

of France and the Irish of Con-
naught. But the rule is that the
equality and similarity Of individuals
which characterize inferior RACES
diminish with the progress of ciyiIi-
cation. Again, tins principle seems
to be confirmed by the fact that
there are in the same species greater
differences among males than among
females f; among the older than
among the younger of animals and
men-Infants are nearly all alike
physically and morally among the
strOrg than among the weak. If we
compare the weak among themselves
and The strong among themselves,
we find the latter present much mor
variation than the former. Among
dOmeSticated animals there is far
more variation than among wild spe-
cies. Then with regard to function,
it is not the case that the equal ex-
ercise Of the muscles and of the in
tellect re-establishes physical or in
telIectual equality among mdIvidu-
ais. On the contrary, Nj. Delaunay
adduces data to show that phys;c i
and mental education bring out into
stronger relief individual differences ;
it increases the differences between
the weak and the strong in body
and mind. Education, by augment
ing the number of degrees which
separate the superior man from the
idiot, increases at the same time the
differentiation. Thus, according to
Nj. DeIaunay, the intellectual equal
itY dreamed OF by certain philoso-
pliers can never be accomplished.
On tho contrary, that equality which
existed among the primitive races,
and which still exists among sava-
geS, tends to disappear with the pro-
gress of Civilization. the inStruc-
ton upon which these philosophers
count to establish equality among
men assumes all the most decIsiyely
the supremacy Of the more inte'li-
gent. Inequality is greatest among
those who have reached the highest
tenn of evolution; r6trograde eyo!u-
ton is characterised by a return to
the equality observed among species
that are dying out, degenerate yarie-
tics, and senile individuals. We need
scarcely point out the important
practical bearing which NJ, Dc!au-
nays inquiries have on the Utopian
schemes Of modern Socialists, Com
munists, and NihlIists-Iimes.

tons in this particular instance only
confirm these general conclusions.
It is found that inferior species of
SIMPLE structure are less diferentiat,
ed than superior. In botany the
composite, the rosace@, and the
umbelliferR, vary more than conifers
and palms. In zoology %pheasants
vary more than palmipedes and dogs
than sheep. In fine, individuals are
equal among species that have re-
Gently appeared, become dlssiml)ar
and more unequal in proportion
as the species develops, and
then again become equal as they
decrease and disappear. So, also,
they are equal among inferior spe-
cies and unequal among superior.
Individuals composing inferior races
present among themselves numerous
points of resemblance. Among the
P~olynesian races, for example, it has
been noted that individuals present
an almost absolute resemblance to
each other physically, morally, and
intellectually, Among the inferior
people there are no social distinc.
tions all are equal in right and in
fact. NJ. Delaunay adduccs many
facts to prove that negroes, ilindoos,
Parsees, Arabs, and even such peO-
pie as Chinese, so resemble each
other as a rule in their leading ply
steal characteristics as to be- almost
indistinguishabIe. There can be no
mistaking n New CaIedonian, an
Arab, or a negro, while it is almost
impossible to describe a typical
Frenchman or Englishman. In
muscular power the lower races
are far below the more advanced.
Among white races there is the
greatest variety in the shape of the
Uranium, which is almost uniform
among the various inferior races.
Morally, intellectually, reIi2iousIy,
industriaIly, in the matter Of oecu-
patiOns, and in many other respects
the lower races show not only infe-
riOrity, but uniformity, while among
the cultured races there is the great
est possible variety. So, aIs0, we
find il to be the case with Il pre-
historic ancestors, so far as myesti-
CATION has gone in proportion as a
race has advanced completely has
taken the place of simplicity, variety
Of uniformity marked individual
difference has succ 5eded to almost
perfect individual equality. In the
matter OF religious belief, for exam
pie, all men held very nearly the
same creed in France as in the rest
of Europe in the year 1000. Now it
could easily be shown that if certain
individuals still hold the average
creed of the year 1000, others really
hold what will be the actual creed
of the goth century. Between the
two extremes are placed the inter
mediate opinions which were gene
rally held from the 18th to the 18th
century, This multiplicity Of OPT
Mon, far from being a sign of inferi-
ority, is really a sign of superiority
and of progress. In the same way
