Perhaps a more striking illustration
Of the isolation of Downe could not
be given than the fact that although
Mr.. Darwin here breathed his last at
A o'clock in the afternoon on Wednes-
day, the news which has since been
received with profound sorrow in
every part of the civilized world was
not known in London until noon OF
the following day.
In this secluded and beautiful dis
trict, at some two or three hundred
yards only on the further side OF the
village. the illustrious author OF
THE Origin of Species by Means Of
Natural Selection" passed the last
forty years Of his laborious life. Hav-
ing finally given up his residence in
town in 1910. soon after his marriage,
he found the retirement essential Ia
his habits Of systematic study and Of
patient investigation of the laws Of
nature; here, in the extensive grounds
Of the old house which is soon tc

those botanical and other experiment.
and observations of which the result:
are recorded in that long list OF work:
wherein the doctrine of evolution has
found inexhaustible illustration.
"Downe Court" is one of the old
square-built rcd brick mansions of the
last century, to which has been added
in more recent times a gable fronted
wing, with another square built wing
and pillared portieo on the correspon-
ding side. Shut IN and almost hidden
from the roadway by a high wall and
a belt of trees, il seems the very ideal
of a place for philosophical scolasion.
On the southern side the walled gar
den opens into a paddock or meadow
equally retired, and bounded by q
tract Of underwood through which
there is a lovely view Of the narrow
valley descending toward Tatstield
and Westerham. In these extensive
additions to the grounds Of DOwnt
Court, which Dir. Darwin had rented
of bis intimate friend and noighbor
Sir John Lubbock, he had Of late
years been accustomed for the mos

lessensd thereby, the memory Of the
hero and statesman and martyr Chris
tian, lives forever in a halo Of glory.
The example set by the late Mr..
Armour, of Chicago, before referred
to, should be followed.
Business is done on a lightning
scale, and at the smallest margin pos
sible in Chicago. The sales Of groce-
ries, last year, amounted to $4,000,
600. The profits, in gross, amounted
to only l3.per cent, aud melted" the
dealers only two and one.half per cent.
In fact, goods can be bought, as a
general thing, lower in Chicago than
in any other city in the country. In
the matter Of teas and cofces, New
York cannot compete with Chicago.
As a distributing center for all kinds
of merchandise Chicago ranks close
on to New York. Chicago S present is
really wonderful, and her future
promises to be marvellous. Certainly,
time works wonders"
Old soldier Republicans in Chicago
favor General John A. Logan for next
President. There are less worthy
Republicans than the Senstor. If
Of his partisan prejudices were
of, he would do very we'll.
The waters of Hot Springs, Arkansaw,
no doubt, took a good deal of
the venom out Of his system, and it
may have reached his heart, as it was
balm that cured his anatom-
ical ailment. 1t is pretty hard 10 find
a bad mar in a good soldier. Of
course, it is rather perplexiug to find
a soldier like Logan so bitterly opposed
to doing justice to a prosecuted hero
like Gen. Fitz John Porter. How
ever, such peculiarities, like wooden
Iegs, are found in some families, and
the General is entitled to his opinion.

MAHONIZING THE SOUTH
Chaimerb' LieuIeuant Seeking
Government Aid in the
Generals Campaign.
Special to the coutier-JOurnal.

WASHINGTON. june ga. T. VIM
berley, of Mississippi, arrived here TO-
day to see what help can be had for
Chalmers. He was sent to see Secre-
tary Chandler, who was absent at the
naval school graduating exercises at
Annapolis, so the conference had to
be postponed until Monday. The
fact that Kimberley is here for Chal-
mers, and ready to begin operations,
accords with what has been indicated
in the direction Of the effort for coal;-
ton, whenever there is hope of a dis
trict from Greenback aid or any dis
satisfaction. kimberley is a worker,
and is bound to do all he can to
defeat Manning. He is ready
TO guarantee the Greenbackers'
aid, but must have Assistance" from
headquarters. His experience has
been varied by a street fight in New
Orleans, in which he received eleven
bullets, about a year and a half ago,
without seri0uly damaging him, so he
can probably stand the racket in store
for those who have undertaken the
work OF Mahonizing the entire South.
1t is said that appointments are being
made with a special view OF these
coalitions wherever there is any show,
and that the Texas Senators are now
trying to hold up the combinations of
Mckee and Bigger, appointed Marshal
and United States Attorney for the
Northern district Of Texas, for the
reason that they are active coalition
men.

The Smallest Baby Alive.
Carson. New, Appeal.


A gentleman from Candelaria in
forms us hat the smallest baby in the
world was born in that camp at noon
on the Bird instant. The father is a
miner in the employ Of the Northern
Belle mine, and weighs 1870 pounds.
The mother is a stout, healthy woman
weighing perhaps 100 pounds. The
child is a male, as perfectly formed as
any human being can be. but upon its
birth it only weighed eight ounces.
Its face is about the size of a horse
chestnut, and the size Of its limbs eau
be imagined when we say that a ring
worn on the little finger Of its mother
was easily slipped wei its foot nearly
up to the knee. Our informant states
that it was the opinion of the attend
ing physician that the child would
live and prosper in good health, not
w~ithstsDding its diminutive proper
tons. The midget is SO small that
three of its size could paly hide and
seek in a cigar box. This is believed
to be the smallest baby ever born.
