THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPII PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12,1870. BARBARIANS AND BRUTES. From the Lrmdan Sptctatnr. Sir John Lubbock's remarkable aillren at Liverpool on the "social and religion con dition of the lower races of niau," contains certainly the most complete conceivable proof that in all human communities of which we can trace the history, the tendency has been upwards, and not downwards, a history of Ju-ogreas, and not a history of degradation, iut we wish Sir John Lubbock had added to Lis lecture something which he, of all others, is best qualified to add, on the widely diffe rent results of the observations of the natnra aliet who watches and describes the hibits and instincts of animals, and the observations of the student of the earliest stages of human history, who watches and describes the habits and customs of barbarous men. Curiously enough, every feature Sir John Lnbbock has contributed to the history of barbarism and no one has so good a right as he to be called in some sense the historian of barbarism is a feature tending to distin guish man from the brutes, or at least to dis tinguish essentially the charatteristic bru tality of man from the brutality of brutes. Take any one of Sir John Lubbock's curious list of savaga ries, and yon will, find that, intellectually f peaking, it constitutes not a link between civilized man and the lower animals, but a ohasm between them. lie quotes, for in stance, at the very outset a celebrated saying of a negro to Captain Burton. "What? Am I starve while my sister has children whom she can sell ?" Now, is not the feeling of civilization about the claims of children on their parents far more nearly an intel lectnal reflection of the in stincts exhibited by almost all the lower animals with relation to their young, than a development of this savage sentiment ? Where is the bird that will cast one of its young to the hawk to save itself, or the doe that will not fight far more fiercely for its fawn than for itself ? The self-assertion of this savage selfishness represents a gap be tween civilized man and the lower animals, not a lick. Then take the practice of tho great prevalence of which among savages Sir John Lnbbock produces curious evidence of the father's going to bed with a new-born hild, while the mother gets up and does all the i work of the household. Is not this, sgain, a case of capricious break in the chain between animal instinct and civilized sense ? Or take Sir John Lubbock's account of the extravagant passion of the savage for not only artificial, but positively inconvenient and painful ornament, such as bones fctuck through the nose, studs in the oheeks, and ho forth. Without saying that civilized man, or at least woman, has entirely abandoned all these savage practices, is it not evident that the tendency of civilization has been to abolish the inconvenient orna ment at iots of savage vanity, and to return towards the simplicity of the unconscious creature? Again, consider Sir John Lub bock's remarks on the laws of savage tribes. . It is often supposed, he says, that savages are personally more free than civilized men, but "there cannot be a greater mistake. The savage is nowhere free. All over the world his life is regulated by a complicated set of rules and customs as forcible as laws, of gen eral psohibitions, and unjust privileges." "The Australians," for example, "instead of enjoying perfect personal freedom, as would at first appear, are governed by a code of rules and a set of customs which form one of the most cruel tyrannies that has ever perhaps existed on the face ef the earth, subjecting not only the will, but the property and life of the weak to the dominion of the strong." Of this, again, there is no trace among gregarious animals; for though one tribe will prey upon another, creatures of the same kind, like bees or beavers, live for the most part in instinctive peace and order. And here again, the great aim of civilization is to strike off the alien yoke of tyrannic law and custom which barbarism imposes. Again, in the relation between the sexes, the most marked distinction of savage life is the vio lence with which woman is habitually treated, being carried off at first by violence, and reduced to the position of a kind of slave afterwards. Here again, we find nothing parallel in the life of the lower animals, and we do find much more trace of fidelity. A Kandyan, expressing his scorn for a rather ex ceptional savage, a Veddah, cited in proof of the contemptible character of theVeddahs that they remain true to one wife till death, which, said the Kandyan, was exactly like the practice of monkeys. What Sir John Lubbock thinks the most common rule of marriage in the lowest tribes, the system of communal marriage, is certainly not an im provement on, but a deterioration from the habits of the higher brutes. Of religion of course there can be no trace in the brutes, and the mere power of fancying and specu lating, however rudely, on the unseen, is, of course, a great advance in the faculty; but the first result of that power, as in the lower religions described by Sir John Lubbock for instance, the worship of the serpent, be cause of his deadly venom is to start man off again on the track of mutilation of na ture, instead of conformity to it such as we see in the animal world. Any one who follows Sir John Lubbock carefully through his de scription of savage customs and habits, will fee, in almost every one, not a link, but a chasm, between the life of what is called in stinct, and the life of what is called educated reason. Formulated selfishness and caprice are of the very essence of savage customs. Unselfish and orderly instincts, which pro duce many of the effects of the highest intel ligent organization, are of the very essence of the animal life in the stage beneath. The more we learn of the lowest types of bar barism, the more clear it seems that the first stirrings of human character were not "improvements by the method of natural selection" on the habits of the brutes, but in most cases absolute deteriorations on thoso habits, due to the disturbing power of self-will and caprice. Men instead of gaining an advantage over the brutes by their rude attempts at laws, and by the suggestions of their superstitious fears, distinctly lose by them. Ia the strug gle for existence with the lower animals, savages ere weighted, handicapped, by their chief social and religions rites, and only their superior cunning as foes enables them to win tne battle in spite of these disadvantages. The principle of "natural selection" might. of course, explain how the cunninger creature gets the viotory over the loss cunning, but it will not explain way cunning, once ueve loped, rushes into so many pure insanities of artificial custom, law, ornament, and mean tation insanities positively prejudicial to the race, and which are extinguished one by one as civilization begins to stuay ana appre bend the limits of existence. It seems to ns that the new investigations of the facta of savage life all go to show quite as wide a natural distinction between ui&u ana tne lower animais as tne oia assump tions of the deteriorationUts. There must be a distinctive sense of self-guiding capa city and of inchoate desire to use it tft'ectu aIIv. in those random groupings after belter rules of living than the inexorable power of habit had imposed on the lower animals. The fruits of a past eternity of slowly-improved habits supposing toat to be the Darwinian history assigned to the ancestors of man could not result in this burst of wild enprice, in these haphazard attempts to make his lot happier, and to beautify his person, by arbi trary and mischievous rules. Yon can only account for those wild lashings-out agaimt nature, which are observable in the first moral and social experiments of barbarous man, by his dim consciousness of possessing a power of ruling himself and ruling the world around him, which is neither observable in any other animal, nor yet justified by its first tentative efforts even in man himself. If the savage is more loaded physically with ugly ornaments, and morally with still uglier laws, than any civilized being, is it not clear that his blind sense of power was not, in its initial state, an advantage to him, but a dis advantage, and yet that it was so strong within him that it would image itself in ail sorts of arbitrary whims in spite of that dis advantage ? Now, what is utterly incompati ble with all the laws of nature, including thoso of animal life, is anything arbitrary or capri cious. , Mr. Darwin shows that the moment any variety of type develops itself which is disadvantageous to the race to which it belongs, in the circumstances in which it is placed, there is an immediate tendency to extinguish it. How, then, could a variety arise and prosper whose distinctive charac teristic was an arbitrary self-will a disposition to cast about in the world for a larger measure of happiness than the avorage of that species could enjoy, and to adopt the most injudicious methods for securing that happiness? Surely, unless such a character istic were accompanied by some great and critical rise in the dead level of his intelli gence above that of other animals, such a creature would be immediately extinguished in the struggle for existence? Yon can in no wise imagine the gradual rise of self-will, and vanity, and superstition, and other distiuctivo forms of savage life, as animal tendencies simply engrafted upon the ordinary animal cunning for they would be so adverse to the existence of tho creatures in whom they sprang up as to cause their extinction. An elephant impeded by a bit of wood stuck through his trunk by way of ornament, or a baboon subject to the superstition that par ticular stones had the power to kill it, would clearly have a very bad chance with other elephants and baboons. What we soeui to see in Sir John Lubbock's investigations is tho proof that man is a species raised a whole stratum of intelligence above the animals next in intelligence to him, or he would not survive the enormous disadvantage of the growth of an imagination and of social pas sions, the first stirrings of which are not advantageous, but dangerous and anarchical. To our minds, tho new lights we are gettiag upon savage life go a great way towards proving that the human race cannot be a variety produced by the Darwinian law from lower races, simply because the varieties of living introduced into tho universe by the germinal human fncultie3 are so distinctly unfavorable varieties of living, varieties which have all to be cleared away as reason takes its fuller development, and the imagina tion begins to understand the limits within which it works under the divine law. Some enterprising citizens of Fort Scott, Kansas, are forming a company with a capital of SluO.UUy, to nianuiacture agricultural imple ments. " 6HIPPINU.
