GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

'The Wayward Son." as presented at the Grand Opera house last night, was domestic comedy drama that con- trasted scenes of quiet home life with stirring action and deeds of bravery. There was none of the overwrought sit nations that mar the average melodra- ma, and yet the play often held the audience in keen suspense as the hero was taken through some thrilling ad- venture. The greatest scene of the play was unquestionably the race for liberty in the third act, when the hero, Tom Hanford, is carried away from the police in an engine driven by Martha Barnard, the heroine. The realism of the rushing engine, showering sparks from it's stack and clouds of steam from its boiler, was given to the life, and the cheering of the audience caus- ed the curtain to be raised again and again.
 "The Wayward Son" will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night, with a matinee tomorrow.

HUMAN LIFE AND NATURE.

Existence of Man Depends on Many
Things Evolution of Plants.
1t is not easy to apprehend the fact
that human life ON the globe is de.
pendent upon such incidents as CO.
operation with birds or the collateral
evolution of certain plants, says the
New York Tribune. Yet it has been
asserted by scientists that human
life. if possible at all on the globe,
would be at very low stage but for
the co-eXistence of three or four fam
lies of plants-the cereal. the sofa.
mum. the palm and the rose families.
Wherever we turn we find ourselves
in interdependent relations with these
four allies. The palm alone. with its
ancient representatives in the coal
era, gives US not fewer than 1000 va
rieties of valuable fruits and fbers.
The soanun family gives us the po-
tato. the tomato and tobacco; the GER
cal family gives rice, on which one.
third of the ra mostly subsists;
oats and corn I ourselves and our
dOmestcated animals, as well as
"AACdl anu ~ Z AVA bASdNis AAA thC - uc
grasses for animals. These last are
simply undeveloped cereals. The rose
family gives uS nearly all the fruits
IL our orchards and gardens, as we'll
as the noblest of the flowers that
adOrn our lawns. Some representa-
tiyes of each one of these families are
found over the larger part of the hab-
liable globe.
An important evolution is still going
on in plant life. We are more likely,
however, to note the appearance Of
noXious plants thu the development
of those of sterling merit. These very
weeds indicate Il struggle for exist
ence, in which struggle the oversight
of man S required. Out of the crowd
ing occasionally comes plant of mar
Vicious benefcence, ItkS the potato. In
fact, the greater part of human effort
is exerted in selecting from what ma
ture produces and destroying the
poorer product. Most of the liner
apples, pluns and cherries could not
have struggled into dominance over
the wild and Grabbed fruit without
our assistance. We are still getting on
with second-rate things in our gar
dens and orchards because we h.,ye
not had wit enough to prevent some
of the choicest from being lost.
