an ardent lover of music, and trequenter OF con-

brain had been often grouped together at the souhu
of music, and at the sight of musical performers
During his long life the groups must have been
formed repeatedly both in his visual and AUDITORY
apparatus For some time before the vision he had
suffered from cerebral difficulties, and at tho time
there was more or less congestion OF the DIaln'

after a considerable interval, the visual appa-
ratus followed it's example. As soon as this was
done, the two processes went on harmoniously
together. During this singular process, and after
it, he was so little moved, either intellectually OF
emotionally, that the vision should be classed as
simple automatic movement.


A large space in the volume is devoted to the ex-
planaton of the apparatus for normal vision, pre-
senting an admirable example of lucid physiologi-
cal analysis and throwing light on several obscure
questions relating to the phenomena of sensation
and perception. The latest results of anatomical
research are set forth with precision and clearness
and although in technical language, in manner
adapted to the instruction of the intelligent general
reader as well as of the professional student. The
work will doubtless call forth a good deal of inter-
est and curiosity both from the nature of the sub
iect the high character of the author, and the pop

CONDITIONAL IMMORTALITY, BY WILLIAM II. HUNTING

theory OF endless punishment in future world, and OF

men are to survive the grave, and to be judged ac

Scripture, Dr. Huntington maintains disposes OF the
greatest number Of difficulties with the least amount
of strain in dealing with tho obscure, but mo
mentous problem Of human destiny. In treating OF tho
Heaven in reserve for the righteous the author observes
that It is strange that the scientific thinkers OF the
present day, who have 80 much to say
about the evolution OF man from lower
forms Of animal ie should have so little to cay about
his possible development in the future. The same rea
soning which shows that has risen from something
that was than ought TO suggest that he may yet
rise TO something that shall be more than man. Dr.
Huntington has evidently profed by the conclusions OF
modern science TO start new track. and his dis

accepted unity Of faith taught in the church. contain

their chickens instead of broiling
or frying them, serve up their salad
without oil, and let those who love


oil oil it; they eat their peas and


beans and potatoes with their meat,
and mix things generally, just as
they did at home. They know ex-
actly what they are eating, and no
longer shut their eyes and swallow
whatever is given them, without
knowing very often whether it is
fish, flesh or fowl. When an Amer
ican gets under his own root he is
always happy in Paris, and the la
dies especially become attached to
it. In short, he maintained that an
income of $4,000 per annum would
enable man here TO keep his fam
lily in as good a position in polite
society as could be done at a cost of
$4,000 in New York /; that there
were certain expenses necessary to
position that were not required
here, and that fine showing can
be made of of a limited purse"

The telegraph reports that the Senate sub
committee on railroads have unanimously
reported to the main committee in favor of
the Mitchell bill extending the time for the
completion of the Northern Pacific. The
bill, as originally introduced by Senator
Mitchell, required change of line of the
road as agreed upon by the company, and
also the building of branch to the Union
Pacific, or the forfeiture of portion of
the company's land grant, and its bestowal
upon any other company that would build
the connecting link. To this the Northern
Pacific railroad strenuously objected, as a
matter of course, and the result was COM
promise whereby conflicting interests were
reconciled, and, which it appears, has re-
suited in unanimous report Of the sub
committee in favor of the extension of time

WHAT WILL THE UNEMPLOYED Doe


The signs of the times are more favorable.
There are auspicious omers of a revival of
business, and every one seems to be expect
ing change in the tide of depression. The
winter, so far, has been exceptionally mild
and pleasant, and much of the suffering an
ticipated last November, avoided by this
generous gift of nature. Still unless there
is great and radical change, there will be
thousands of unemployed men and women,
and suffering must ensue. The resumption
of spring and summer work will test the
degree of prosperity.


The unemployed must have work. Dur
ing the past winter, the Eastern cities have
swarmed with idle people, idle because un-
able to find employment. This distressing
condition of affairs should be alleviated by
some means. 1t is not worth while to talk
to this class of people about coming West
or going into the country. These people are
without bread. They have no means
to move, no means to live and no means to
die. The national and State governments
and charitable institutions should interpose
to relieve society of the terrible burden, and
of future danger. We sincerely hope that
before another winter, relief will have come
in some form, and for the time at least,
people may be able to earn enough to keep
themselves and families from starvation.

A famous naturalist says that animals
have much more capacity to understand
human speech than is generally sup
posed. The Hindoos invariably talk to
their elephants, and it is amazing how
much the latter comprehend. The
Arabs, he says, govern their camels with
few cries, and his associates in the
African desert were always amused
whenever he addressed remark to the
big dromedary who was his property for
two months; yet at the end of that time
the beast evidently knew the meaning
of a number of simple sentences. 'Some
years ago, seeing the hippopotamus in a
menagerie looking very stOlid and de-
iected, 1 spoke to him in English, but
he did not even open his eyes. Then
went to the opposite corner of the cage,
and said in Arabic, Il know you; come
here to me- He instantly turned his
head toward me; repeated the words,
and thereupon he came TO the corner
where / was standing, pressed his
huge, ungainly head against the bars
of the cage, and looked in my face with
a touch OF delight while stroked his

It is familiar fact that q potato-vine
growing in a dark cellar is white, puny,
and without strength. 1t would be al
most precisely the same with child
confined to a dark room. It is also well
known that light is somehow essential
to health, and that simple sunshine is
the best medicine in many diseases.
But it is not known how the hygienic
effect is exerted, though there is reason
to believe the effect is mainly due, not
to the color rays, but to the actinic
the invisible rays that paint the pic
ture in the photograph, and penetrate
to the seed beneath the sod and quicken
its germ.


Some experiments, however, recently
presented to the English Royal Society,
have bearing on the solution of the
question. They prove that the pres
ence of light, but especially of direct
sunshine, prevents the development of
the microscopic fungi which are associ-
ated with putrefaction and decay. When
there are germs already present in a
liquid, it destroys them, and perfectly
preserves a putrescible fluid in which
they have not yet been developed.
While this preservative quality is most
powerful in the direct rays of the sun,
it also exists in diffused light.


The hygiene of light will doubtless
sometime be fully understood. Mean
while we know enough to make it sin
against health not to let the sun have
freest admission to all our dwellings,

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO WOMAN.
We have seen many beautiful trib-
utes to noble womanhood, but tho
following is the finest we ever read:


Place her among the flowers, foster
her as a tender plant. aud she is a
thing Of fancy, waywardness and folly
annoyed by dew drop. fretted by
the touch ola butterhy's wing, ready
to faint 1T the sound of a beetle or the
rafting Of window pane at night,
and is overpowered by the perfume
of a rosebud. But let real calamity
come, rouse her affections, enkindle
the fires of her heart, and mark her
then How strong is her heart J.
Place her in the front of the battle
give her a child, a bird, or anything
to protecs-and see her in relative
instance, lifting her white arms as
shield as her own blood crimsons her
upturned forehead, praying for her
life to protect the helpless. Trans
plant her in the dark places of the
earth, call forth her energies into &c
ton, and her breath becomes heal
ing, her presence a blessing. She
disputes inch by inch the strides of a
stalking pestiIence, when man, the
strong and brave, shrinks away pale
and atirighted. Misfortune hurts her
not she wears away a life OF silent
endurances, and goes forward with
less timidity than to her bridal. In
prosperity she is bud full Of oders,
waiting but for the winds of adversely
to scatter them abroad-gold, valu-
able but untried in the furnace. In
short, woman is miracle, mystery,
the centre from which radiates the
charm of existence.

follows:


Almost every settlement in Calitor-
MIA is more or less like the Basil plant,
with old wrongs and tragedies cling
ing to the soil about its roots. Here
the conflict of races, religion and land
titles is not so far in the past that its
heritage is entirely outworn. 1t is
true that society in the West does moi
hide its wounds so close as in the
East, but is there not hope in the very
fact of this openness AT all events
the worst is known. The East con-
stautly hears of the recklessness, the
bad manners, and the immortality Of
the West, just as England hears of all
our disgraces, social, financial and
national; but who can tell the tale Of
those quiet lives which are the life
blood of the country, y,-its present
strength and its hope in the future!

Recently one Of the minor theatres was
subjected to the rod Of critical discipline
in the columns Of the Tribune. Imme-
diately the manager stopped his advertise
ment, and was assured in editorial CON-
ment on his conduct that the opinions of the
critic were not to be affected by such pro-
ceeding. He replied that he did not expect
to coerce judgment in that way-he only
hoped for little obscurity-and if he did
not advertise the critic would not know of
his poor little place and would not point out
its shortcomings to the public. Can this also
be the theory upon which the advertisement
of Booths Theatre is now kept out of the
columns Of the Euening Post? Does that
establishment hope for obscurity like the
smaller one on the same avenue? or does
it take the ground that the price
of a theatrical advertisement inserted in
one column entities the payer to one first
rate article, resplendent with puffery, in
another column, and does it mean to fight
the Post terribly on that line? Generally
that is the theory when ''this establishment
does not advertise, &C., and we hope that
no feeble truce will come about through a
misunderstanding. Any real, lively skir-
mish on this point between good theatre
and paper that justly plumes itself on
critical excellence is entertaining to the
public and of great professional interest, and
we hope the Post will not assume that
Booths wants obscurity, and help them to
it through iorgctfulness. We have congrat-
ulated our contemporary on its opportunity
to draw this badger, and we hope it will go
in and show it's game.

Jamrood, at one end of the Khyber Pass,
is twenty-six miles from Dhaka, at the other
end and at the latter place some forces Of
the Ameer of Cabul are concentrated, while
some Of England's Hindoo soldiers are at
the former. In fact, therefore, in view Of
this proximity Of hostile forces, collision
may be regarded as imminent, and the re-
port already sent from India, and also
already contradicted, in regard to the storm
ing of Ali Musjid seems to imply that the
Indian troops are on the march to force
the pass. Ali Musjid is q fort in
the pass, five miles from the main
entrance. 1t had been dismantled in
former times and reconstructed; and its
capacity for resistance is therefore some
what doubtful. Should the place be
stormcd the advance will secure point of
Importance in the prosecution of their
march; but i does not follow that they will
be safely through the pass. On the other
hand an Intellectual attempt to storm it
would be an unpleasant incident in a very

the way from Peshawur to Cabul, and it
