Fatnral Selection Amovgst Mankind. from Iht London duturday RtvUw. ... , it Mr. Darwin's doctrine la well foaoflefl, tbe human race as at present constitute! U the molt of a long and exceedingly slow elaboration. It resentblea one of the rawninea advertised as poeseBBli'ir all the newest and btst Improvements We, in oar collective capacity, are hairs of all the ags from the first dawn of life until now, and, nntil we are In torn tnperfeded by rometMK better, msy 1 titer ourselves that we combine in tbe big beet degree practicable all reconcilable food qualities. What maybe the nltimte talne o( these speculations is at present, aad perhaps is likely Ion to remain, an opua qnestion; bnt one application of thetbeory, moi get many others, is of extreme praatloal Interest. We may or may hTOl0?"djJ Irem the henkeye, and If we have, i granted that, in spite of mnoh wtatoh .might Be urged to' the contrary, we have on the whole made a distinct adranw In morality and intelligence. i plt of wars and ptnperl.in and commerolal scandals, we are very supe tior to tbe dogbed.-d baboons. Hut the ques tion remains, whethnr the same proo-a-ia atillat-work amongst mankind, li H true feat A? oe whioh are farthest removed from the animals tend to snpplant those of a distinctly lower typef Is it PbMe that at me dlntant period the world will bi peopled by eivlllatid beings of EuropTOn desonat, anl that from them will arise a still nobler race, with larger brains, greater physical c-ipacltHS, and more highly devtloped social affections ? Withvnt looking to a intare bo remote that or feeble vision ean never expect to penetrate its depths, we may ask whether a progress in that direotion is distinctly Tluible to the naket eye. It might be vain to inquire whether in a. few million years there will be a raoe of beings on the planet capable of looking down pon ns as we look down upon the naked iavsges, or even "showing a Newton as we show an ape;" but it is important to kuow whether on the whole the superior raoes of mankind are supplanting those Just below them in the scale, or whether some of the highect qualities at present developed are likely to be absorbed in a competition with inferior races of men. Certain familiar facts way be quoted in favor of the more cheerful prospeot. New Zealanders and Red Indians are on the road to extinction, and the capacity of the negro to survive competition with the white man Is still a very doabtful problem. The best hope held out for him is that he may eurvlve, free from the disadvantages of slavery, bnt still at the best a serviceable and dis tinctly inferior drudge. If we might confi dentiy apply these results to races dl tided by less palpable distinctions, we should infer, not ouly that Europeans are supplanting savage?, but that the best races of Europe are likely to supplaut those a degree or two below them. Iu other word, of course, we Should look forward to the day when the population of the globs would be of exclu sively English descent, which would be inex pressibly cheering. Two or three difficulties, however, have been raised, which point to causes likely to retard this desirable consummation. Thus it has been said, although statisticians do not Seem as yet to have decided the point, that the native American is being absorbed by the foreign immigration, and-that expressly be cause he represents on the whole a superior type of civilization. The educated and intelli gent native naturally feeld the influence of prudential restraints, lie does not marry, nnleEs he has a fair prospect of supporting a family. He tends more and more to approxi mate to the Biolal condition illustrated in Franoe, where population lnoreaes so slowly as to be all but stationary. Meanwhile the immigrant, with a far lower standard of com fort, multiplies at an unprecedented rate, and bids fair in a few generations completely to Swamp 1 he higher type of man, andftbat for the very reason that he is at a lower Intellectual Stage. In other words, tbe fact that one part of a population is less capable of foresight and Belt-restraint gives it a direct advantage in the struggle for exlstenoe. It ia unnecessary for this purpose to ask whether the faots are oorreotly stated, or whether there xaay not be some other explanation at hand. It may be said, for example, that the native American is physically degenerate, and is so far an inferior animal that, from certain cli- matlo influences, or from the social habits of the people, his constitution is not so robust as that of his ancestors. It may be that the race ia undergoing a Blow prooess of acclimatiza tion, and that a true interpretation of the facts observed would be somewhat different; the advantage would only be in the first race of migrants, and ultimately those who had adapted themselves to the new soil through a long process of modification would gain the superiority. This, however, is a speculation fer which the proper data have not as yet been accumulated. The difficulty suggested is the simple one that, in oertain cases, the ab3enoe W tbat sensiDUity to prudential restraints Whioh is the prodnot of long-continued civili sation gives an advantage to the least civl liied part of the community. An argument In some respects similar Is urged by alarmists of a different olass. In California and Australia, it is said, the man of European rigin is being ousted by the Asiatic The Chinaman is an inferior being, both physically and intellectually, to his competitor. He can do less work, and is less capable of the higher kinds of thought. As, however, he can live upon the bare leavings of an Amerloan or English laborer, he succeeds in insinuating himself Into the lower branches of labor, and, having abundanoe of ingenuity, industry, and Rapacity for imitation, he gradually ousts his More cultivated but more expensive rival. He is already the objeot of bitter jealousy; and MnslderlDg his perseverance, his powers of Increase, and the enormouB population of whioh he is the representative, he is 1 kely to fteeome even more formidable in future. If the Irishman swamps the American, Irishmen and Americans alike are in danger of being eaten out in course of time by the Beml-bar-barian raoes of the East, and the world, Instead f being Americanized, will undergo a prooess for which a similar word should, if possible, he Mined from the substantive Chinese. The danger is, of course, remote; but if a popula tion of 300,1)00,000 onoe takes to expanding beyond its borders in a rapid geometrloal in crease, it la hard to assign any limits to its possible future. A danger of a different kind Is suggested by smother observer. The agricultural popula tion of the oonntry is, It has been said, physi sally deteriorating. Bo far aa the decay re nlts from insufficient food and clothing, we naavhope that it is a temporary and loial malt, caused, not by the progress of civiliza tion, bnt by the iaoi mat civilization nas iaiiea to penetrate into oertain districts. Bat it is farther argued tbat the Improvements which have eome within reach of the poorer classes have failed to benefit them permanently. A treat many feeble infants have been pre- rvd. who. under a rougher system, would aaya died: and. consequently, the average Strength of constltntion is diminished. The hardahlDH of former times aoted usefully by thinning ent the population, and the healthier were selected W- a spontaneous process to grow p and become the parents I the next JIVW Vu WVvlUV IUQ nivu.o v. wmv hw. 4ser&.un, How in thi cad U tme aa rule TEE DAILY Y'jr NO TEIEGllAlII-PIIILADELPniA THURSDAY, mnt be a rery eompllnated qnestion. The haidehips which kiir off the week mnst tell wore or less prejudicially n pon tbe strong wuo survive. If we succeed In bringing np man? who would have disappeared amore severe test, it is fair to suppose that we also brought down the generaii st Tha Imnllta aoctriuo - , - trials which i injure the sick v tend positively to invigorate tbe he Uhy. Bat t ' '" W v n very ntrrow luniu and the more ordluary case would seem to be that anything which la b4 lor one olass tells proportionately upon the other.- Cer tainly the favage tribes n pin whom the ex periment is tritd on the largest scale seem to te of distinctly weaker fibre than the more pampered European; and the soldier who has been luxuriously brought up is said to stand hurdthips better than bis. rougher oompanlou, who, In the common pbraee, his been inured to hardships from his youth. Still wo may enppoee that, within certain limits, which it Is Impossible to define, the effect of rearing the sickly part of tbe population ia to pro duce a raoe of inferior fctmniua. If we had not certain awkwatd moral feelings, we ought to choose out the most promising babiup, aa we tike the best-lookiug puppies In a litter, and reinorsely drown all who are not strong enough to live. Tbe general result wou?d therefore be that civilization produces upon the human raoe an effect analogous to that which raoiog is alleged to produce Ufon the breed of hordes. We certainly develop some qualities in a very high degree; we get a hlguly nervous, sensitive, an 1 intellectual race; but they are wanting in the robust physical qualification which is a neces cary substratum tor their other merits. The first necessity of a population, as for an indi vidual, is tbat it should live. It may display the finest intelligence, but if it has not vitality enough to carry on an internecine struggle for existence, it will not be able to get a hearing at all in this world. The rough pachydermatous part of the population will expand at the oost of the more refined; the inferior raoes, whioh on the whole manage to prodnoe a greater surplus with a given amount of labor, will push onpne Bide the more costly, though more po werf ul, ma chine, Jast as Borew-Bteamers supplant paddle wheels, sot because they are faster or more convenient, bnt because they burn less ooal to produce a given speed. And finally, if we be come bo tender-hearted as to rear all the weakly constitutions, we shall pay for our humanity by degenerating in average strength, and shall be literally too good for th!s world; or, if a statement in such terms souuds too improbable, we may say that our .good nature may perhaps be developed oat of proportion to our foresight or our severer virtues. So far as there is any trath in this view, it would not be in any way opposed to the doctrine of natural selection; for that doctrlue merely asserts that tbe races will survive whioh, on the whole, are best adapted to the world in which we live. It would be a partial con demnation of our modern civilization, and would show that, although it has produced a race distinctly better fitted for self-preservation than the red Indian or the negro, it has yet developed mankind in a very imperfect and ene-sided manner. We are trying, according to the proverb, to chop blocks with razors, and have encouraged delicacy at the price of strength. Man, like an infusion of some utronger and leas highly J horses, are becoming "wtfedy, and rentre fctrurjct orzanlzatlons. J be excitable Amn- oan needs to be invigorated by the duller Eu ropean immlgrant;and in some climates, at leaat, the white lnun will have to be content with supplying com'raanding oftioers to use their brains in directing the rudur .rank and file of Aslatio races. In short, we should have to regard tbe development of mankind, not as a continuous prooess in wbioh the finest raoe in exibtence at a given period al'vays tends to multiply at the expense of its neighbors, bat rather as a tentative and vaoillating advance, where oertain races gain for a time excep tional merits at the expense of vitality, and then have to sink back upon the mora vigor ous breeds of the second rank. The observations necessary to determine this point would undoubtedly be of the highest interest. We should hardly be philosophical enough to be reconciled to a partial deteriora tion of the race by the fact that it is in accord ance with the law of natural selection. It would be melancholy to believe that tin pro gress upon whioh vva pride ourselves is in part illusory, and that we must start again from a lower platform. We would infinitely rather discover that the alleged indications of decline are merely exceptional. The case of a new oonntry is obviously not quite in point. There is there a special demaud for the rougher kinds of labor, and the race which increases mobt rapidly has an advantage which it does not popsesB in other oountries. What is re quired is as many millions as possible of rough, hard-working pioneers; and the enormous in crease of the immierant population in Ame rica has been in fact produced immediately by such a demand. In a country in the normal etate, where the limits of population are closer, the more intellectual qualities will give a greater advantage; and It is at least probable mat me eviis wn lu resun irom preserving the weakly children will be counterbalanced by removing the causes of general depression. This, however, is an intricate problem, whioh we must be content for the present simply to note, without attempting to discover a satis factory solution. CUBA.
