Tyndall's Opinion of Darwin.

In an address before the British Asso.
citation, August 10, 1873. Prof. Tyndall
said Darwin for twenty-five years
pondered the problem of the origin OF
species, and doubtless would have con.
tinued TO do so had he not found Wal
lace upon his track. A concentrated, but
full and powerful epitome of his labors
was the consequence. Mr.. Darwin
shirks no difficulty and saturated as the
subject was with his own thought, he
must have known better than his critic
the weakness as well as the strensth OF
his theory. lie takes no pains
to disguise the weakness he has discern
ed nay, he takes every pains TO bring IL
into the strongest light. His vast re-
sources enable him to cope with oblec'
tions started by himself and others so as
to leave the final impression upon the
readers mind that if they be not com.
pletely answered, they certainly are mol
fatal. Their negative force being des'
troyed, you are free to be influenced by
the vast positive mass Of evidence he IS
able to bring before you. This largeness
Of knowledge and readiness of resource
render Mr.. Darwin the most terrible Of
antagonists Accomplished naturalists
have leveled heavy and sustained criti'
cisms against him-not always with
view of fairly weighing his theory, but
with the express intention of exposing its
weak points only. This does not irrtate
him. He treats every objection with a
soberness and thoroughness which even
Bishop Butler might be proud to initiate,
surrounding each fact with its approprl'
ate detail, placing il in its proper rela'
tions, and usually giviugit significance
which, as long as it was Kept isolated,
failed to appear. This is done without
trace of i'll temper. He moves over the
subject with the passionless strength oil
a eazier and the grinding of the rocks
is not always without a counterpart IN
the logical pulverization Of the objector.
But though in handling this mighty
theme all passions has been stilled. there
is an emotion of the intellect incident 70
the dscernment Of new truth which OF
ten colors and warns the pages OF MT
Darwin. His success has been great, ana
this implies not only the solidity Of his
work, but the preparedness Of the public
mind for such revelation.

American Women.

OF women's dress the London Daily
NeWs says "rhe poets idea that love,
which is OF mans life thing apart, is
woman's whole existence, is more senti-
mental than trde. There is only one
thing which, if it may not truly be said
to be her whole existence, is yet never
very far from her attention-and that is
dress. This is neither hard nor Gym
ical saying. From her first conscious
hour to her last woman takes interest
in her garments and the garments of her
friends. The study of dress is like every
other study. 1t must be taken seriously
if it is to be taken successfully. A woman
who wants to be originally, beautifully
and becomingly dressed must either give
herself into the hands of an artist who
will do her thinking for her, or she must
give nearly the whole of her time and
attention to the business. A great many
do neither the one nor the other; hence
the rarity of really welldressed women.
The ideal of English women is to find a
modste who will take all the trouble of
their hands, and dress them. This can
be easily done, but is an expensive pro-
cess, and in that direction again English
women set themselves limit. The price
an American fashionable woman will
readily give for confection of distin-
guished taste would strike horror into
the breast of an English matron. Amer
lean women are unquestionably the best
dressed nowadays. Why it should be
so is question too profound to enter
on here. Much and subtle analysis
would have TO be expended on that pro-
blem. One explanation which seems to
lie on the surface may be that while de-
Gliding with authority on questions of
taste, and fully competent TO Judge them
they bring TO the business certain orr
ginality of conception and national fresh
ness of idea which pervades the result,
making it not only charming in itself
but exactly suitable to the wearer, Amer
lean women--those at least who visit
Europe-have generally the pull over
English women in money matters, and
as we said before, they not only have
the money to spend, but like spending it
on dress. But, beside that, there is
discernment of the fitting, a happiness OF
choice, which they bring to, rather than
find in, the studios OF. high art in dress"
