The Princeton Rerie,c for March is a
very remarkable number IL has six
elaborate and timely papers discussing
great subjects now commanding the
thought Of the age. President Noah
Porter has Il paper on the "Cohpsc Of
Faith. =" which ought to be read with
profound attention by young men to
guide them, and by older men to encour-
age them in hours ofdespondcncy. The
learned writer denies that there is any
decay or decline of faith, and he explains
in the course of his discussion the tell
denotes of tue two forms of develop
ment or evolution. lie says:
"Hegelianism was first in order,
which, out Of the splendid poetry Of
Schclling constructed its logical uni
verse by the development or evolution
of every form of the concrete by means
of the self-moving and self-dillcrcnia-
ting power of abstract notions; begin
ming with being and ending with the
most complicated agent that is destined
to exist in nature aud the most cOnsum-
mate event that shall occur in history,
uniformly finding Il self-eXistent Infinite
IN the organic total Of the whole that
has been and is and is to be-"
Next emerged matcrialistlc evolu-
lion, which begins itsapparently infinite
vet actually finite cycle with the SEEM
ingly impotcnt and unpromising star
dust that has within itself the potency
and promise of all the highest forms Of
life, and ends with the completed pos
sibillics of these wondrous agencies in
a universe that signalizes its finished
perfection by falling into n chaos in
whose ruins are the elements OF renewed
development and order"
"Thcse two forms OF evolution, the
logical aud the biological, are alike In
their genesis and their essential fea-
lures. The logic Of both Is substantially
the same. The lIegelian or mctaphysi-
,a cvolutonism has had its day.
Though it has not ceased TO exert ITS
special destinations npOn men OF special
culture, 1t has lost It's power to dogma
tie in the name Of either philosophy or
science. Biological cvoluliOnism Is ut
present especially noisy and pretcnlions,
aud claims to furnish both foundation
and method for every science Of nature
and of man. The first saves both phi
losophy and science, but sinks mans
free and personal life into the abyss of
logical necessity. The second subjects
not only personality but science itself to
the uncertainties of blind matcrinlsn.
For the tinle, matcrhllstic and hiologi-
cal cvOlulionsm will doubtless have
special destinations for men Of limited
culture aud dOgmatic temper. 1t Is our
belief that 80 soon as the logic Of time
shall convince those men that know how
to reason that this form of cyolutlonism
not only destroys faith but stranglcs
science, they will reject 1t with contempt
If not with adherence. ..... .

DON'T THROW MUD.

Don't throw mud; it isn't kindly
TO bespatter any man;
There are natures striving blindly
TO belittle whom they ean--
Natures keen to the dement's
Of brother, neighbor, friends
Whose own littlcness inherts
Scornful pity without end.
Don't throw mud; it isn't cleanly;
Filthy habits are betrayed
BY those base attacks so meanly
On another's honor made.
Those who taint are surely tainted,
Deeply stained the tongues that curse
Only those whose hearts are painted
Black, are eager to asperse.
Don't throw mud; the true rcformcr
Never stoops to vilify;
Proffer love the heart grows warmer
From the touch of charity.
Vain the clanking CHAINS and lashes
TO restore the moral worth;
Vainer far the world that dashes
Hope and good resolve to earth.
Don't throw mud; you can't afford it
This is not priceless life;
Justice will at length award it
TO the noblest in the strife,
! Let not then your chances vanish
In your effort to discrown;
Let the hearts best impulse Danish
Aught that crowds brother down.

THE HEIRS OF MISS MACDONALD.
The Numerous Suits for the Patent In
fringement in the United States
Courts to be Vigorously
Prosecuted.

Miss Helen Maria Macdonald whose demise
at Washington, July 7, has been noted did not
leave last will and testament, as was at first
supposed. According to the records of the
Probate Court, she died insolvent, and, by pc
tition of next of kiu, Mr.. E. Carrigan, associa-
ted with General Butler, her counsel in the
numerous actions for patent infringement, was
appointed special administrator of the estate.
Miss Macdonald was one of family OF seven
sisters, whose home was originally in the Prov
inees. They now constitute the heirs-at-law
They have all been married, and are pretty
well scattered over the country. Their pres
ent names are as follows: Mrs. Margaret Green
Kendall Creek, Makeon county, Pnen.; Mrs
Mary Bedell, Haynesville, Aroostook county,
Me-. Mrs. Harriet johnson, Speerville, N. b.;
Mrs james Dow, Esmeralda county, CAL; Mrs
Isabella Taught, Santa Rose county, CAL; and
Kate Macdonald, who has changed her name
recently and who, at last accounts, was living
in Carson City, Nevada. The heirs are unanl-
mously in favor of the thorough prosecution OF
the suits for the recovery of damages for the
infringement by most of the leading dry
goods dealers of the country of the dress pro
and his associate, f. L. Washburn, have the
cases in hand, and they will doubtless be push
ed persistently and promptly. OF the thirty
eight cases instituted against the the dry goods
firms in Boston number have been com
promised with and several settled by the
court. The latest judgment was given last
week against Shepard & Co., in the sum OF
$1735.7o. 1t is generally conceded to be a fore
gone conclusion as to the outcome of the 9TH
ers in favor of the complainant. Every case
thus far decided, by appeal or otherwise, has
recognized the validity of the claim. AS soon
as may be sxpedient, actions will probably be
brought against the largest dealers in New
York, Chicago, st. Louis and other large cities
throughout the country. The patent has still
about seven years run. 1t is thought by the
friends of Miss Macdonald that she might cas-
lily have compromised with the various dealers
in the sum of $4,000 or 100000, but she in
sisted that full $500, 900 was her due.
