The Russian troops, notwithstanding their
hard fighting, have not received their addi
tional war money above their regular pay,
and according to the London Guardian this
fact shows that Russia is laboring under
financial diflienltics, as she is in twelve mil
lions arrearage to the Roumanian railroads.
Secretary Evarts is quoted as saying, al

rage on our flag.”

The Crops.
The season has arrived when there is n
very general desire for reliable infor

Our friends throughout Georgia and
Florida will oonfer a favor by communi
cating to us promptly such information.
We shall be pleased to receive letters ad
vising us of the present condition and
prospoct of the cotton and provision
crops.
Boutwell came to the front on deco
ration day in Boston, with a speech which
was a reiteration of the old bloody-shirt
notions of his party. He says he is “nn-
ablo to see any promise of amendment in
the South,” and that “there is no way of
educating the South in self government
except by governing it with the sword."
It is, says the New Orleans Timet, a com

chance for him ever to get out of his
grocery at Groton again.
The Ragged School Union oi London
has one hundred and fifty-'wo school
buildings, in which twenty-eight thou
sand tatterdemalion little Londoners are
taught the rudiments of learning. The
British child is attracted by Buch a name,
•but the American boy of the street, how
ever torn his trousers or sleeveless his
jacket, would go without an educa ion all
his life rather than go in quest of it to a
place over whose door was the sign “Rag
ged School.”
Mb. Tilkem Going to Europe.—The
New York ErpTCM of Saturday evening
says: “The Republicans need not be
alarmed about Governor Tilden’s quo
warranto for the next two or three' months
at least. He is going to England early in
July, and will remain there as long as he
wants to, bnt will no doubt return in sea
son for Congress and the Snpreme Court,
if they so desire to inquire into the elec
toral laws, the Electoral Commission,etc.”
The New Orleans Timet thinks the na
tion may make itself easy about General
Grant on his travels. He is not going to
make any city mad by refusing its hospi
talities. There'll be no war or complica
tions on Grant's aooouni.
Savannah and Her Creditors.
Elsewhere will be found published the
proceedings of the meeting held yester
day, at the Exchange, for the purpose of
effecting an arrangement between tbe
bond holders and the authorities of the city.
$1,387,700 of the city indebtedness was
represented, but nothing definite was ac
complished beyond the appointment of a
committee of seven bondholders, who
were charged to make an “examination
of the banded indebtedness of the oity,
and confer with the City Council of Sa
vannah, with a view of ascertaining
whether any arrangement can be
arrived at as to the said in
debtedness, and that they report,
at such time as they may deem
advisable, to a general meeting of the said
bondholders, to be held in the city of
Savannah.” As it is believed that the
conference, last alluded to herein, will not
be held until about tbe first of November
next, tbe matter will probably be held in
abeyance until that time.
It is unfortunate that the im
pression has gotten abroad that
the city intended to repudiate
part of her debt. Such is not, by any
means, the case. She has had no idea of
repudiation. True, there are many ex
tenuating circumstances to be considered
in connection with her indebtedness.
Shrinkage in values, business depres
sion, and tbe many obstacles unex
pectedly thrown in the way of meet
ing her obligations, have made her
burdens much heavier to be borne than
she ever anticipated. For these reasons
it was desirable that any arrangement
consistent with honor, which could light
en her burdens, and make her obligations
more easily met, should be effected; but
it has never been the wish of any of our
citizens that any portion of this debt
should be deliberately repudiated. It is
to be hoped that the idea of repudiation
will be entirely done away with before
tbe next conference is held, and that
both parties may fully understand each
other, in order that a settlement satisfac
tory to all concerned, may more readily
be brought about.
Radical Opposition to the Convention.
Our Atlanta correspondent informs us
that extraordinary efforts are being made
in that city to defeat the convention
movement, for which purpose an anti
convention ticket baa been nominated.
We are not surprised that tbe Radical
leaders, Akerinan, Bryant, Blodgett,
Conley *fc Co., should oppose the will of
the people, in the hope, as they intimate
in tbe circulars with which they are flood
ing the State, of causing a division among
the Democratsand thus resuscitating their
defunct faction. It is but natural that
these corrupt and unscrupulous adven
turers who so long fattened on the spoils
of office and reveled in the plunder of the
taxpayers of Georgia, should seek to de
feat a convention, the object of which will
be to restore honest economical State gov
ernment, and to wipe out tbe last vestige
of Radical usurpation, fraud and misrule.
It is but natural that men who aided in
imposing on a disfranchised and
plunderod people a constitutional insult
and mockery, should resort to falsehocd
and misrepresentation to delude tbe
unsuspecting, and appeal to tbe
prejudices of the ignorant and vicious in
their efforts to perpetuate their work.
But we must confess that we are sur
prised that any portion of the people of
Atlanta should be induced to follow their
lead. If, as her people seem to think,
Atlanta has a special interest in
volved in this convention question, it
would seem not the surest way to
promote that interest for any con
siderable portion cf her citiz ‘as
to make common cause with an od, us
Radical ring in opposition to a conv n-
tion. The opposition of Atlanta will uot
prevent the holding of the convention,
though it may sug s ect to that body that
there are interests of the people that
ought not to be disregarded in deft recce
to tbe wishes of tbe people of that flourish
ing city. Instead of opposing and voting
against the convention to frame a no *
constitution for Georgia, the people of
Atlanta should give the convention ihcir
unanimous endorsement, and greet the
body with a cordial and kindly welcome.
While our citizens are enjoying the de
lightfully cool weather and balmy atmos
phere of the season, they can sympathize
with the good people of Gotham, who are
suffering from a complication of evils,
intense heat ana foal atmosphere. Sun
day last was a suffocating aay in tha great
Northern metropolis, the thermometer at
noon standing at 85, and the average
temperature o* ife? day being 70,' de
grees. The World says,
“The prince of the powers of the air
seems to be having it all his own way in
this unhappy city just now. There must
be laws and ordinance*, vs suppose,
forbidding those who boil bones or refine
petroleum from »o pursuing their dread
ful trades ag to poison the atmosphere
for miles around. But no man regards
them, and on these sultry summer days
,«nd nights the inhabitants of half the
area of New York are forced to elept be
tween stifling with heat in closed rooms,
or breathing diseases from breezes laden
with odors of the charnel and the pit.
The nuisance is intolerable, and for that
reason we presume to.be enduted by the
chicken-hearted oitiztn. at this bulldozed
metropolis. ”
Ten Seven-fees Years Locusts.—The
locust which made its last appearance in
I860 has now renewed his career. Some
days ago the New York World printed an
account of the first appearance of tbe
locusts in Rensselaer oounty in that State.
Within a day or two they have appeared
in great force in New Jersey, within
twenty miles of New York oity. The
World says they have done much mis.
ohief, bnt they have not yet committed
ravages so extensive as to become a
public calamity. It is by no means
certain that they will do so, but farmers
and gardeners may well feel uneasy until
the insects bavo actually and finally de
parted. Paris green is said to be the
most effective prophylactic against the
pests which has yet been discovered.
It is said that B. F. Whittsmore, the
South Carolina Representative who was
driven out of Congress for gelling a cadet
ship, is to be called upon to answer the
charge of stealing some thousands of
dollars voted by tbe South Carolina Leg
islature to pay for an oil painting of the
late Senator Charles Sumner, which w.9

some time a member of tho South Caro
lina Legislature, but resigned awhile ago,
is said to be living in retirement in Mass*,

The Discovery of Anesthesia.
Anaesthesia, or the state of insensi
bility produced by the inhalation of chlo
roform and other similar agents, is, com
paratively speaking, a modern disoovery,
its use by the medioal fraternity to deaden
pain in difficult surgical operations hav
ing been adopted, at the ontside, not
more than thirty-five years ago. Yet so
great have been the benefits derived from
it to suffering humanity, that a monu
ment has been erected in Boston to its
discoverer, though no man is designated
thereon. There are four persons promi
nently mentioned as entitled to the honor.
They are Dr. Crawford W. Long, at pres
ent of Athens, Georgia, Dr. Horace
Wells, of Hartford, Vermont, W. T. G.
Morton and Charles T. Jackson of Boston,
the last three of which worked with great
eagerness to secure to themselves not
only the honor, but also such material
and substantial lecognition as could be
obtainod from a liberal donation of money
to them, by Congress, for their labors.
The first named, and by far the most
modest of all, Dr. Long, seems to be the
one really entitled to the credit and ad
vantage to be derived therefrom. This is
shown by a work prepared by Dr. J.
Marion Simms, of New York, entitled
“The Disoovery of Anaesthesia."
In this pamphlet the author says that
as far back as in 171M), we were on the eve
of this discovery, and in 1800 it was
known that the inhalation of nitrous ox
ide gas would produce a peculiar intoxi
cation, which allayed headache aud other
minor pains. That for more than fifty
years past the inhalation of sulphuric
ether has been practiced by the students
of New England colleges as an excitant,
and that forty-five years ago the inhala
tion of ether was common in some parts
of Georgia. It was the practice of inhal
ing ether as an excitant which brought
about Dr. Long’s discovery. Dr. P. A.
Wilhite, now of Anderson, South Caro
lina, when a boy in Georgia,
knew of the intoxicating effect of ether,
and on one occasion caused a little negro
boy to inhale some of it, never imagining
that harm could come from it. Much to
his horror, the boy became perfectly
senseless. A physician was sent for, and
resusoitated the lad, who had remained
utterly unconscious for over an hour.
This result stopped this species of amuse
ment in that neighborhood pretty ef
fectually ; but afterwards, when Wil
hite became a pupil of Dr. Long,
he found that gentleman inter
ested in the subject of aumsthesia,
and informed him of his experience with
the boy. This encouraged Dr. Long to
proceed with his experiments, and de
termined him to try the effect of ether
in surgery at the first favorable opportu
nity. On the 30th of March, 1842, he
adciiniHtered ether on a towel to Mr.
James M. Venable, from whose neck he
removed two tumors with complete suc-
oess and without any pain to the patient.
On the Gih of June, 1842, he again re
moved another small tumor from the
same person under the same circum
stances and with like success. On the
3i cf July, 1842, he amputated the
toe of a negro boy, Jack, bolo: giDg
to a Mrs. Hemphill, the operation
becg painless.- On the 9th of Sep
tember, 1843, he anesthetized a Mrs.
Mary Vincent, and, without pain to her,
removed three small tumors from her head,
aud on the 8th of January, la45, he am
putated two fiugers for a uegro boy whom
he had previously etherized. All these
operations were perfect successes. Yet,
Dr. LoDg, being only a country physician
in what was then a section little known,
did not attempt, at that time, to make
his great discovery public though his
operations were well known to his neigh
bors, many of whom are still living.
In 1844, two years after Dr.
Locg'e first experiment, Dr. Wtlls
demonstrated tho principle of anaes
thesia by the use of nitrons oxide
gas, and subsequently Drg. Morton and
Jackson both used anaesthesia in their
practice, and all three of these latter
named laid claim to its discovery, Dr.
Morton applying to Congress to reward
him for his services to mankind. All of
them, however, acknowledged Dr. Long's
priority in the use of ether, but claimed
that they were entitled to the credit for
priority of publication. The author of
the pamphlet suggests that tbe names
of Long, Weils, Morton and Jackson
all he inscribed op the Boston col
umn ; and states that Georgia will, at no
distant day,erect, at its capitol or its uni-
veisity, a statue of Long, who, he says,
“was unquestionably the first discoverer
of amesthesia.’.'
Probably the general reader will not
feel any great amount of interest in the
subject here discussed. Nevertheless it is
a subject tyhich ought to interest every
man who has teetb, and who is so unfortu
nate as to have them occasionally extract
ed. Certainly, if any material benefit is
to be derived from this discovery, the
Georgia physician ought to enjoy it.
Dr. Long is a poor man, who lost his all
by our late civil war, and now, in his old
age, has to work very hard to make a
support for himself and family. So
highly is his discovery thought of by
the medical profession, that Dr.
Simms say a further regarding it:
“Vaccination is, perhaps, the greatest
boon ever conferred by science on hu
manity. Amesthesia is the next. Eng
land gave us one, America the other.
England recognized the labors of Jt-nner,
not, however, in a spanner commensurate
with the magnitude of his work. America
should r.cognize the labors of Long,
Well.-, Morton and Jackson, if not in a
manner »ommen,‘> , 'rate with the value of
the work, at least to such on ef tent as to
relieve the necessities of their several
families, thereby proving that re
publics are not always ungrateful.
Government aid, voluntarily ten
dered at this time, would
be acceptable to all of them, for they are
all really in need of it. Each of these
families ought to receive at least one hun
dred thousand dollars,” and he proposes
that the whole medical profession North,
South, East and West unite in asking
Congress to appropriate this sum as “an
ana-sthesia fund,” to be divided equally
between the families of these physicians.
If any step in this direction is taken and
carried on successfully, our fellow citizen
of Georgia should, as he doubtless will,
receive his due reward iu honor and
money for the work he has performed (as
Dr. Simms expresses it) “in the causes
of science and humanity.”
It is reported in London that arrange
ments are almost completed for tbe pur
chase by the Queen from Colonel
Farquharson, Invercauld, of the forest of
Ballochfine, which adjoins the estate of
Balmoral. The forest is on the estate of
Invercauld, and comprises within its
bounds the largest area of natural grown
Scotch firs in Scotland. It is uneqnailed
for the size, beauty and symmetry of the
trees. Ballochfine has been held by the
Queen on lease for a number of years at
an annual rent of £15,000 sterling.

“The Beast” Preparing for a Spring.
The Presidential chair is not s bed of
roses at any time: bnt when it is unjustly
and fraudulently occupied, the one who
so fills it must expect, under the laws of
compensation, to find it unusually rough
and thorny. Certainly this is Mr. Hayes’
experienoe. He bad hardly placed him
self in Mr. Tilden’s seat before James G.
Blaine, the bully from Maine, (having
entirely recovered from his sunstroke,)
endeavored to stir np a hornet's nest
aboul him, openly declaring that he mutt
recognize the Radical carpet-bag gov
ernment of Louisiana, since the same
identical returning board which coanted
him in, counted in also Mr. Packard, and
if the Utter held his place by a fraudu
lent title, that of Rutherford B. Hayes,
styling himself President of tbe United
States, was equally fraudulent. However,
though every Radical in the United States
knew that Bully Biaine spoke truth, yet it
was not considered politic for that truth
to be uttered, or if uttered, confessed, so
a large number of leading spirits in tbe
party sustained the de facto, who was
thereby enabled to triumph for a season,
much to the discomfiture of the bully.
But the class of men of which the Maine
Senator is a representative are evidently
scotched, not killed. Little things are
constantly occurring to show that when
their opportunity arrives they intend to
renew the war upon His Fraudulency,
and when it does break oat agsin that
arch-fiend Beast Benjamin Butler pro
poses to take an active hand. His recent
letter to Wayne MacVeigh, old Simon
Cameron's son in-law, shows that the
spirit of venom is working within him,
for, in that, he not only pitches savagely
into MacVeigh for the part he took in
bringing about Packard’s down fall, but be
hits the gentleman at present occupying
the White House many a blow, not the
less severe because below the belt.
The telegraph of yesterday brings in
formation of another item of wralh
against the administration which theBaast
is nursing to keep warm. He mentioned
to a reporter, that when he was in com
mand of the Department of tbe Gulf he
bad with him a surgeon who died while
“laboring for his country.” This snrgeou
left a boy who now desires to enter the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. Butler
having delightful recollections of those
days when he was reaping his harvest of
silver spoons, felt favorably disposed to-
wards the son of a man who was theD
associated with him and tried to secure
the appointment, but Hayes showed the
Massachusetts statesman the cold should
er and refused to make it. This has ex
cited the deadly ire of the Beast, who is
now evidently pieparing for a dreadful
spriug in which he hopes to wreak his
vengeance to the utmost, aud demolish
His Fraudulency at one fell stroke.
Viewing the matter from evory stand
point, the prospects for Mr. Hsyes hav
ing a peaceful and easy time are by no
means bright. He is literally surrounded
by a swarm of bees—Beast Benjamin Bul-
ler and Bully Biaine—and if be doesn't
keep a sharp look out they will sting him
to death. In the fight which will ensue,
the majority of the voters of the country,
who elected Hon. Samuel J. Tilden, will
look on' with feelings very much akin to
thos. of the old woman whose husband
was engaged in a contest with the bear;
they won’t oaro which side whips. No
matter how It ends, whether the B’s kill
Hayes, or Hayes kills the B’s, or, as is
most probable, they each kill the other,
every way will make the country’s gaiD.

Freedom of the City.
The announcement that Gen. Grant has
betn presented with the freedom of the
city of London iu a gold box, has doubt-
less provoked curiosity as to tho meaning
of ibis ceremonial. It has long b en the
custom of the city to offer tho warrant
of their franchise to eminent personages
whom they desired to honor. The pro
cess is for the citizens to vote to bestow
this warrant. The personage to be hon
ored is then notified, and upon some con
venient public occasion he is expected to
appear before the City Chamberlain.
General Grant will be duly brought into
tbe presence of this functionary; the
clerk and officers of tne treasury will put
their names down witn his in the proper
book as his “oompurgators,” makiDg
themselves responsible for his
good citizenship; the Chamber
lain will administer to him
the oath of fidelity, shake hands with
him and give him in a gold box a slip of
parchment warranting to him, and to his
children dwelling within seven utiles of
the city, tbe franchise cf a freeman of
London. Under this franchise General
Grant vyill be at liberty to carry on any
trade within the limits of the city of
London—a tanyard for instance, or a
wood-yard, a whisky distillery, or a stone
quarry—without being taxed at tbe gates
on the goods be brings in ; he will be
exempted also from compulsory service
in the Briti h army or navy. If he elects
to live within the city limits, ho will be
free from tolls and customs throughout
all England aud parts of the sea ; and his
children being left orphans will have the
right to become wards of the city and to
put their property for safe keeping into
the city treasury. He will also have the
right to hunt in the connty of Middlesex.

TERRIBLE CASUALTY.
London, Jane G.—The Bath and West of
England Societies’ centenary was celebrated
at litth to-day. Tbe Widcombe suspension
bridge fell and abjut a hundred persons
were precipitated thir.y feet into tbe river
Avon. Eight of the dead were recovered
aud it is feared that others havo perished.
Many were injured. Another account rep
resents the disaster as much more serious.
Later advices from Bath say that twenty
bodies have teen recovered and several are
still missing. Nearly two hundred people
wero on the bridge when it fell.
The Bath bridge was wooden and of light
construction, narrow, and about thirty feet
long, between thirty and forty feet above the
river Avon, resting upon posts morticed
into stone work at either end and without a
centre support. The bridge snapped iu the
centre. The two ends were wrenched clean
from the sides, and the whole mass with the
people was plunged into the middle of the
stream whioh was about seven feet deep.
Boats from the jhore were immediately at
work rescuing tho living and searching for
the dead.
About twelve persons were killed and
fifty-one injured, some fatally.

New York, Jane 6.—Tbe strike amoug the

the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
ended. A committee of laborers called
npon several prominent merchants in this
city yesterday for advice, and were told to
resume work as soon as possible at tbe best
compromise offered by the railroad officials.
At a meeting this morning it was decided to
resume work at the rate of fourteen Cents
per bonr, After bearing the report of the
committee tbe men immediately resumed
jtonsl indications that tbe tide of emigra

ert E. Lee Monumental Association of
New Orleans has succeeded in obtaining
fnnds nearly sufficient to erect a monu
ment in that oity to tbe memory of that
illustrious General. It is proposed to
erect the monument in Tivoli circle, which
is the centre of the city, and the moot
prominent and conspicuous place.
Wliot is Moderate Drinking I
The advouates of total abstinence from
intoxicating liquors are wont to oondemu
even a moderate use of stimulating
drinks, on tbe ground that “moderate
drinking is the parent of excessive drink
ing." The London Lancet questions the
correctness of this proposition, bat in its
negative definition of wbat is meant by
“moderate drinking the votaries of
Bacchm; will find very little comfort.
“The man,” says the Lancet, “who be
gins the day with a ‘soda and brandy’ has
very little respect for his constitution,
and, if he does not alter his habits, they
will alter his health. Odd glasses of beer
and glasses of spirit in a forenoon do not
come within the range of moderate
drinking. That is not moderate
drinking which adds fifteen or twenty
beats to the pulse, or which flushes the
face. Finally, all casual drinking is bad,
presumably, and not moderate drinking.
The system will not receive food merely
as a matter of conviviality at all sorts of
hours. Still less will it reosive with im
punity drink in this way. Drinking
which disturbs sleep, either by making it
heavy or driving it away, is not moderate.
Moderate drinking is that which consists
with a clean tongue, a good appetite, a
slow pulse, a cool skin, a clear head, a
steady hand, good walking power and
light, refreshing sleep. It is associated
with meals, and is entirely subordinated
to more convenient and less objection-
able forms of food. That such drinking
produces drunkenness has yet to be
proved, as it has yet to be proved to be
essential to health.”

Sample Merchants in'Virginia.—The
Alexandria GatelL says that the Auditor
of Publlo Acoounts of the State of Vir
ginia has decided that under the Moffett
liquor bill sample merchants selling liquor
by aample throughout the State have only
to pay the regular license tax of $150 re
quired from the resident merot.ants, and
no more. This deoision makes a differ
ence of from $200 to $400 in favor of the
non-resident sample merchants.
Washington, June 6.—Butler has written
a diffuse column to MacVeigh denying cer-
t tin assertions attributed to him by Mac-
Veigh. Butler says: “On the oontrary, I
was told that although tbe money was prom
ised as a bribe for the desertion, tbe poor
fellows did not get it, but were required fur
ther to vote for Spoff >rd as Senator before
they could get even what was due them.
N iw I do not know this fact, but hope and
believe tbe Senate will ascertain it ou
the investigation in the contest for the
Senator’s seat.” LAn extract.] “I rea<^

“Every one has his own taste in choosing
bis war to acquire money, bnt if I were
obliged to oboose one of two ways, either
to appropriate it as a military oomtnand-
ant or to marry into a family where I was
neither wauted nor by which I should be re
spected, to get money to spare, I certainly
should choose the former, strange as yon
may think it, because at least I should have
the money, after having committed a dis
reputable act to get it, and would not be
liable to be disappointed as I might be alter
I bad waited so long for dead men’s shoes
by tbe other method.”
Collector King has a sent number of nomi
nations here for subordinate places in tbe
New Orleans custom house, bat has been
advised that changes are not desirable nntil
after the investigation.
T^e Secretary of State has telegraphed,

The New Order of Things in France.
—M. de Fourton, the Freooh Minister of
the Interior, it seems, in carrying out
the new system of political discipline in
France, has adopted the plan of forbid-
ding all political meetings of over twenty
persons. This, if true, reduces the
quality of French liberty considerably.
It appears, however, that the Republi
cans. acting under the counsel of M.
Thiers, trill adopt a device similar to that
of the American Congress on the military
question, and refuse to vote the budget
as long as the hostile ministry remains in
power.
A New Boston Notion.—Several deal
ers in obeap jewelry in New York have
been arrested for having in their posses

notion in the shape of oroide sleeve-
buttons about the size of a quarter of a

stated that tho new derios for the diffu
sion of moral ideas is a Boston invention.
This is a new development of that

about wnioh we read, so much in our

TRAIN WRECKERS CAPTURED.
St. Louis, Juno 6.—C. W. Rogers, the
General Superintendent oi the St. Louis
aud Sau Francisco Railroad, has information
of the cap'ure of four of the band who ran
a traiu off tho track near Woodeod station,
on that road,last Saturday night. It appears
that a yoang man Darned Oliver, about
twenty years of age, who lives near Rich
land, was suspected uf having something to
do with the deed, and was arrested on Mou-
dsy and taken to Richland. He confessed
and gave the names of the parlies engaged
in the wrecking. George Gibson, Allen
Green, S. T. and James Long were arrested,
and are under a strong guard at Richland.
There are four others who were connected
with the gang not captured yet. Young

Governor Hendricks.—A New York
letter to tbe Philadelphia Ledger says the
departure of ex Governor Hendrick", of
Indiana, for Europe, on the 13 th inst.,
is to be made the occasion of what prom
iees to be important political develop,
ments, foreshadowing tbe future policy
of the Democratic party on questions cf
national interest. Mr. Hendricks will be
the guest of ex-Governor Tilden daring
the week prior to his departure, and
daring that time he will be tbe recipient
of a complimentary banqnet, to be given
him by the Manhattan Club, deeigned ex-
pressly to afford him an opportunity to
speak on public affairs. As Mr. Tilden
will also be present on the occasion, it is
certain to be one of unusual interest, and
will probably mark a new departure for
the party at large.
Religious circles in England are excited
over an address delivered by Rev. Mark
Wilkes, a pronounced Darwinist, who
said “Religion is threatened with decline
because its foolish champions have placed
it in hostility to soienoe.” As one of tbe

strong grounds against tbe Darwinian
theory only a few days before, people are
wondering what the chorch will do with
its free-thinking clergyman.
