The Times, The Herald. and Puck
- All opposed to- Blaine.

Now we will have some fun. The
Tines, the most influential Republi-
can newspeper,of New York, has de-
clared that it would not support
Blaine if he was nominated. Puck,
the comic newspaper which has be-
come formidable power because OF
its incisive cartoons, has been parad'
ing Blaine as the tattooed man, tat
tooed with fraud and folly, for weeke,
and presumably will continue to do
80. The business men of New
York city have been the supporters
of Arthur and the foes Of Blaine.
Blaine's personal character is notori
ously bad, and his spirited foreign
policy exceedingly distasteful to the
timid representatives Of capital who
dread nothing so much as war. The
New York Herald will probably en-
list vigorously in the fight against
him, as it was an Arthur organ and has
denounced Blaine as liar and per
con of general disreput .-GreenqAe

The Theory of Animal EVOLUTION.

George Ticknor Curtis, in March Manhattan.
Until after the death of the late Mr.. Charles
Darwin had never paid much attention TO the
uheory OF mans descent with which his name IL
so prominently connected. The hOnors paid to
his memory, and due to his indefatigabe re-
search and extensive knowledge, far more than
10 soundness of his reasoning, led me to examine
ms PRINCIPAL works, the Descent of Man" and
the Origin Of Species" Having studied them
with great care, and, as I trust, with candor, L
was induced to examine in the same spirit the
writings of Mr.. Herbert Spencer ON the subject
of Evolution, with which | had also been pre-
viously unacquainted excepting in general
way. / confess that I was good deal surprised
at the extent and character of Mr.. Spencers
reputation ass thinker,an by the currency which
his peculiar philosophy has received in this
country, where it has led. among the young and
inexperienced as well as among older persons,
to very incorrect habits of reasoning on some
subjects of the highest Importance. The result
OF my studies of these writer's, extending
through two pretty long summer vacations from
professional labors, was a book, hitherto UNI
published, from some parts of which these papers
are extracted [ saw or believed that l saw,
how the so-called science of these writers is I'M

admit that true science is consistent with such

as demonstration as this theory Of animal evo-
luton.

flannel lined with scarlet, with the monogram OF
his house embroidered on the back and
a gorget coming up high under his
bell-hpng leather collar, with also a
bunck of flowers on the left shoulder For his
afternoon drive his coat is lined and faced with

New York Advocate.

New York Advocate,
George, are you going to eat that apple all
alone by yourself!'
Little George was not yet five years of age,
and his cousin had just brought him large rosy
apple. At this rebuke from his father the hoy
hung his head.
Bring it to me- and let me divide it among
your brothers and sisters"
George went slowly and reluctantly toward his
father with the apple still held tightly in both
chubby hands
MY boy" said Mr. Washington, IF you will
divide your apple with your brothers and sisters
promise you the Lord will send you plenty of
apples this fall"
The apple was divided, and when three months
had passed, and the autumn had come, the
father took his little boy out to the great or
chard, where the trees were bending under the
weight of apples which hung in clusters almost
like grapes.
George" said Mr. Washington edo you re
member last summer, how hardly I could pre-
vail upon you to divide that large red apple your
cousin brought you with your brothers and sis
tersp
Poor George could not say word, but hung
