HuxleY's Lectures.

Huxley, like Tyndall, was always care.
full to have his lectures fully prepared. A
few notes jotted down on fly sheet of pa
per or in small notebooks wore tic only
guide for tho full hour which to most of
the students passed very rapidly. There
was no display of cloqucncc, no attempts
to clothe description or explanation In
floral verse, but everything WAS stated In
terse md succinct language, although
with due emphasis on important points,
and this it was that made 1t easy to fol-
low. These class lectures were naturally
very different from public addresses, in
which Huxley always maintained that
wonderful dignity of expression and choice
rhetoric which have been the despair Of
his cpmbatants, scientific no less than
clerical, and have for all time rendered
classical that which he has chosen to put
in pript.-Po2ulur Science Monthly.

THE RAILROAD WAR.
1t is Said That the Southern Will Make
an so Fer Cent. Cut.

Baltimore, July 25..--Vice President
and General Manager st. John, of the
Seaboard Air Line, is in Baltimore on
business connected with the rate war
with the Southern railway. Mr.. st. John
says he does not believe the Southern will
make an eighty per cent. cut in rates, as
has been alleged, nor will the Seaboard Air
Line meet it. The latter would in that
event reduce it's rates lower than the
present cut basis, especially on passenger
rates, but not to so great an extent as
eighty per cent.
The Seaboard, struggling as it is he
added, with an adversary who has no
other motive than that of the destruction
of its business, could ask for nothing
better than that the Southern..sh carry
out to the full it's announcement for
August l, because it will ruin its revenue
and hurry the time, which people believe
Is not far distant, when u reorganization
of its system must occur, for it cannot
meet operating expenses and pay fixed
charges at any such rates.
Mr.. st. John said further that he did
not consider that the Seaboard line. in
refusing to meet such suicidal rates, was
recedlng from the position it originally
assumed, and when after u time it came
to be suggested that rates be raised again
his company would probably look with
dlsfavor upon any material increase. He
thought that all commodity rates would
be brought into the present cut

Workers of America at Pittsburg came

Everybody must know that the re-

the Government will collect enough
money TO meet its expenditures, stop the

protect American labor.
circumstances, gentlemen, have given
to the Republican party at this iuncture
