"DID MAN SPRING FROM
MONKEY ?"
Science; has but one dogma, and that
is positively demonstrated truth ; truth,
that will bear criticism from all sides
and all points. Science deals with
facts, and facis alone. Speculative
philosophy bears the same relation to
metaphysics that theology does, and
has ao eqnal right to promulgate dog
mas. Neitker b?inu susceptible of
proof, they! must step "down and out"
when facts couie in to contest tbeir
places Facts are from God ; theories
from man. I ,
The right to assume anything be
yond an axiom, or self-evident prop
osition is hardly admissable in any
argument where you cxpct to arrive

Of one fact we are'eeruin. that man
exists here in his present "condition;
that became here Without his knowl
edge or conscnt,that he is what he is
of necessity. i he hts.nor has had, any
choice in his existence Whether he
is selt existent, came from monkey, or
had a maker, it is all one j whether ho
likes it or not, lie is what he is, and
can't kelp himself. Of the five races
no individual of . either, can change
himself into an individual of the other.
The negro is black and no amount of
scrubbing can make him white. His
bair is kinky, and the art of; man is a
failure in attempting to straighten it.
The 'Mongolian can never assume, the
featnes, the gait, nor the appearance
of the European... The wild Indian of
-North America? is a savase bevond re-
demption. Jnwar, in the eliase, at
the dance he is all life and activity.
Put him to work and he languishes,
compel him to -work and he dies. It
is said that man was created in Ihe
image of God, and if I mistake not the
account, ijt means, when God wished to
have a man upon the earth he took
some of the virgin soil and shaped it
after a pattern of lm own image, and
that the first Adam, both male and le
raale, commenced their earth-life fully
developed man and womair; no youth,
no childhood, no infancy, no ante
natal existence, no cell-life; cleau,
pureraaid perfect - from the hand of
their Creator, and a perfect likeness ot
IIimse!f. That the Lord God seeing
the beauty and perfection of this, his
last crowning act of creation, breathtd
into his nostrils the breath of life, and
man became a living scuL
This is oue of the prettiest romances
in the poetry of the human heart, and
but for the cold facts of a stern and
iigid science, we might wish for the
delusion to remain, and ever take us
back to that proximity with the great
God, which the craving of the whole
soul of humanity so earnestly desires,
and expects in a state of future rc
pese. But this is not in accordance
with the workings of the Mighty Pow
ers of the uuiveese, and until some
other evidence be educed save the
mere ipse dixit of a questionable au
thority, the human mind will continue
to exercise us great iioa given pie-
sogative--to think fot itself. That it
gets into error is no argument against
the legitimacy of itss pursuit, fur all the
great truths, both spiritual and secular
that are no longer controverted, came
forth from a pile of rubbish and con
fusion, as the pare gold is drawn and
separated from its native ore. As far
as the ' investigations of the bumn
miud have gone, we find that every
living thing has como from an antece
dent, similar to itself. This includes
the vegetable, as well as the animal
kingdom, and no where do we find any
abrupt breaking in upom this uuiveral
law.; Numberless forms &re presented
in both kingdoms differing in aspect,
in construction, and in function ; but
the origin of all is the same a cell or

which
is no'
part of the business of the scientist.
Geology teaches us dearly! tltat
there was a time when the temperature
of this earth was so great, that animal
life ooold not exist upon it This tem-
peratore was inherent to earth, and
did not dfpnd upon Uio heat of the
sun. as its present 4 temperature j does.
During this period, climates and zones
had no existence for the beat was as
: - - t

and one uniform beat pervaded the
whole r earth. fTo those persons who
deny the revolution of the earth jupoa

phic god mast guide those who. unwil
ling to assume the rejKmsibility of
thought, sit In the shadow of an abso
lute anthropapothy, and pay homage
to a pbarisnical priest-hood.
The origin of man then is something
'different from the accepted interpreta
tion of Genesis. When the- earth be
gan to cool, this uniform temperature
arrived at precisely the requisite de
gree, for o;ll action to take on devel
opment, just as the increased heat of
spring causes buds to swell and seeds
to germinate. This Action went on
under an "infiuity. of circumstances,
and thi result was an ihfi.iity of forms.
We have now five disiiact types of the
human race. In the early geological
ages, it is not unreasonable to I sup
pose there might have been five thous
and or five hundred thousand. The
present types were the "fittest," and
therefore survived. Of all that vast
possible multitude of Microcosmic De
velopments, only five have ' been able
to cope with the vicissitudes: of life,
and it is by no means certain, that all
these will be able to hold out to the
end. The inroads that have been
made upon the Worth American Indian
within the memory of man, at the
same
rate win exterminate uim m
a fw
more years. Some possible remains
that have been exhumed in various
parts of the earth, go a long way to
make this .theory probable, and in
connection witlf the great extinct ani
mals, and the carbonized forests of

possible to conceive of any olhetj plan

(Mr. J. R. Randall, one ol the edi

Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, a
very well-preserved old gentleman,
followed in an extempore speech! the
only one of the occasion. It was an
abrupt and very brief effort. Mr.
Anthony is a dab at this kind of ,hing.
but old Zach was too much for him
and the very evocation of his stalwart
name seemed to fostle all the poetry
out ofone half the State of Rhode
Island. Mr, Bayard popped ' up next,
and r ad a few remarks in a way to
indicate that he had a disagreeable
duty to undertake and wanted to get
through with it p. d.q. He ,was the
only Democrat who spoke. He frankly
stated his disagreement with Mr. Chan
dkr's peculiar methods, but' acknowl
edged the old man's specific virtues

enmity. 'He was not an implacable

will soon comme.nce the erection of
the necessary buildings for a glass
factory. The prelimlnjiry arrjange--raents
for the inauguration of this new

being made, and it is expected that
the work of putting up the buildings,
furnaces, etc., will be commenced in
the course of a week orr two. iThere
i
will be seven buildings in all, one of
which will le used as a furnace build

The practice of eating snow arid ice.
so common among the school ehild re ni
is-a fruitful cause ;of catarth. Jt is
common to see the boys and girls de
vour a snow-ball as though it were an
apple, or an icicle as eager as a bit of
caudy. The hard palate which forms
the roof of the month also forms the
floor of the nostrils, and is no thicker
tban:p-stebosrd. The chillioz effect
of snow nd ice brought freely in con
tact with this thin partition, the upper
covering o'f which is a sensitive secret
ing membrance. made up almost whol
ly of fine blood-vessels and nerves,
prod aces a congestion, often succeed
ed by chronic icflammation. As a
consequence, these snpw and Ice eat

colds in the head' aud running noses.
