THE STATUE TO DARWIN.

The statue to Darwin was unveiled in
London recently by Prof. Huxley in the
Museum Of Natural History, Kensington.
The dedication address, which Huxley
delivered, was on "The Scientific Value
of Darwin's Researches" The Prince of
Wales received the statue on behalf of
the museum. In his address the Prince
dwelt at length on the vast influence
exercised by Darwin in favor of the pro-
gress of knowledge and expressed graft
tude for the support which foreign coun-
tries had given the movement to erect
the memorial. Among the distinguished
persons present at the unwilling cere.
monies were Robert Browning, Lord
Houghton, Prof. Richard Owen and
Herbert Spencer.
There is no man of the century whom
scientists regard with more honor, and
none whom a certain class of religionists
look upon with more holy horror, than
Chares Robert Darwin. That he origin.
ated the theory which has made his
name famous, that "man is descended
from a hairy quadruped, furnished with
q tail and pointed ears, probably arbo-

ophers; but that he so formulated it that

ancestors is sufficient reason for erecting
a statue to his memory in the museum at
Kensington.
The history of evolution in modern
times affords a very remarkable instance
of two great minds moving along the
same line of research and arriving at the
same conclusions without conference
with each other. On July l, 1858, two
essays were read before the Linnan So
ciety, one by Darwin, on the tendency
of species to form varieties, and the other
by Alfred Russell Wallace, on the
tendency of varieties to depart from the
original type. Greatly to the surprise of
all parties, the two scientists travelled
the same road and reached the same
result. During the next year Darwin
published his "Origin of Species by
Means Of Natural Selection" and in the
popular mind his name was associated
with a theory of human ascent rather
thar descent.
In America, at least, we pay very lit
tie attention to our ancestors. The
assertion that they all, and without ex-
ception, had p%rehensile tails indicates a
unique form of Democracy which re-
strains family pride.

DIVORCES OF THE WORLD.

We select the following facts repre-
senting the causes for divorce in various
parts of the world from a foreign author
In Siam the FIRST wife may be divorced,
not sold, as the others may be. She
then may claim the first, third and fifth
child. and the alternate children are
yielded to'the husband.
Arctic Region-When a man desires a
divorce he leaves the house in anger and
does not return for several days. The
wife understands the hint, packs her
clothes and leaves.
Tartars-The husband may put away
his partner and seek another when it
pleases him, and the wife may do the
same. If she be illtreated she complains
to the magistrate, who, attended by the
principal people, accompanies her to the
house and pronounces a formal divorce.
Chinese-Divorces are allowed in all
cases of c~riminality, mutual dislikes,
jealousy. incompatibility of temper, or
too much loquacity on the part of the
wife. The husband cannot sell his wife
until she leaves him by action of the law
or desertion.. A son is bound to divorce
his wife if she displeases his parents.
Jews-In olden times the Jews had a
discretionary power of divorcing their
wives.
Javans-If the wife be dissatisfied, she
can obtain a divorce by paying a certain
sum.
Observation-Disclosures are seldom al.
lowed unless with the consent Of both
parties-neither of whom can afterward
remarry.
Moors-lf the wife does not become a
mother OF . boy, she may be divorced
with the consent of the tribe, and she
can marry again.
Abyssinians-No form of marriage is
necessary. The connection may be dis.
solved and renewed as often as the par.
ties think proper.
Siberians-If the man be dissatisfied
with the most trifing acts of his wife he
tears the cap or veil from her head. and
this constitutes q divorce.
Coreans--The husband can divorce his
wife and leave her the charge OF main.
tanning the children; if she proves un.
faithful he a put her to death.
Druses and DEMONSTRATIONS these

mission to 90 out. and if he says "go,"

ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
LONDON, June 17.-At the conference of
the Conservatives yesterday it is said that
Lord Randolph Churchill made it a con-
dition OF his acceptance of the Office that
Stafford N~orthcotte should not be made
the leader OF the Conservatives in the
Commons. Sir Henry Drummond Wolff
will nave a position in the Cabinet. The
conference of Conser vative leaders to. day
lasted an hour. 1t is said that all obstacles
to the formation Of the Cabinet have been
surmounted. At the conclusion of the
conference Lord Randolph Churchill re-
manned in private confere nee with the Mar
quis of Salisbury.

to dispel the conviction of Russia that his
ministry is q menace of war he will cancel
the appointment of Churchill as Secretary
Of State for India. Russia, continues the

Cabinet with such suspicion that any sud-
den hitch may cause such q rupture of the
negotiations now in progress as will result
in war.

servatives was had at noon to-day in the
residence of the Marquis OF Salisbury.
The Queen arrived this morning at

In the meantime George Bowie had been
awakened and had seen the whole procedure.
As the German uttered these words, Bowie
put mis- hands at the back Of his neck, and
drawing out one Of his famous bowies, said
eoolly: "You are mistaken about your

With that he slowly began to advance his

the latter frantically threw his pipe out of

the next half hour the German said nothing
but looked pale. As Bowie thought over
his action, and noted the sickness Of the

AAAGELAA AoE - non1hhS0 IN eAO
Capital.
Rd1ASagsOa Letter.
The capitol is the growth Of years, almost
. century Of work, upon different plans and
under the direction of many minds. The
result is that there is such q perfect LADY
rinth Of eorridors and outoEthe-wsy places
within its walls that one may be about the
capitol for years without learning all the
places in this rambling building. This
mueh Of an explanation is necessary in Or
deSeo appreciate the remarkable story told
By Jehn Chauncey. who has been in the
constant employment of the House
for the last 81 years. In ransacking
one Of the upper hooks of the
House side of this building the other day
Chauncey came upon an out-otthe way corner
beyond one of the most crooked turns IN the
rarely visited regions of the reserve records
of the House document room. ChaunceY,
who knows more about the building than
any other man in it. in his wandering about
that morning came into a corner which he
has not visited since the war. As he en-
tered this long-forgotten nook he was sur
prised BY the sight ola military uniform
stretched out upon the floor. A gun and
the Announcements of 3 private soldier OF
the army OF the United States were IN one
corner. The uniform was still in very fair
eondilios, although badly motheaten. 1t lay
upon the floor as if it had been hastily strip
ped of By its owner. But how had it come
there2 John Chauncey could not for
a few moments tell, but soon
be remembered that during the VAT
the Capitol building was used as q barracks
for soldiers. The House of Representatives
itself was used as q hospital. A soldier who
belonged to q Massachusetts, regiment, who
had partially recovered from q wound, was
employed for sentry duty in the upper part
of the hall. One night he wandered of to
this Out-of the-Way corner, where he ex.
perienced q sudden relapse. His old wound
broke out and he died in this corner
alone. His body was not discovered for
several days. He was charged up as a de
serter. When his body was finally discovered,
his uniform was taken of and the remains
carried out. From the day that the body was
carried AWAY until John Ghauncey walked
into this corner, twenty years after, no one
had visited the place where the poor soldier
died. If the odor Of the decaying body has
not penetrated to one of the upper store
rooms of the House document room into
which invalids had been carried, it might
not have been found until the uniform was
discovered. Jvhn Chsun .ey would have
found instead of what he did a grinning
skeleton in full uniform stretched out in
this dusty corner. What a story that
would have made! The sccoutrements OF
this Massachusetts, priote are in the journal
