THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH P1IILAPEI;?HIA. FRIDAT, MARCH 17, 1871. htdxiattjuij. REVIEW OF NEW B00K8. "The Descent of Man, aud Selection in KeJation to Sex," by Charles Darwin, M. A., F. It. S., etc., published by D. Appleton & Co., is a continuation of the subject which the author broached some years ago in his 'Origin of Species," and which has serve! to excite controversies of the most violent de scription in both sciontifio and theological circles. ' The theory Botnewhat hesitatingly advanced in Mr. Darwin's first work, that man is descended from a lower type by means of natural selection, is, in the volume before us, insisted upon and supported by an elaborate array of facts. Mr. Darwin con tcnds not oiily that man is descended from a lower type, but that all animal nature has had its origin in a very limited number of forms. Indeed, if we accept Mr. Darwin's theory as correct, and go back far enough with our investigations, it is not improbable we may find our original anoestor to have been an oyster, and that some of us are daily in the habit of swallowing a dozen or so of our cousins, some degrees removed, from the half-shell, with pepper-sauce accompaniment. Facts are facts, however; and if we are really descended from a primitive oyster, or, to bring the matter down to a later, although still remote date, from the gorilla, it will be necessary to reconoile ourselves to the rela tionship, however uncomplimentary it may be to our pride. Indeed, a respectable, well behaved gorilla, if any such there be, might be converted into a more promising member of society than some of the humans with whom we are acquainted, and might put to shame some of his presumably more intel lectual relatives. Mr. Darwin's theories with regard to natural selection have been adopted by many of the scientific men of the present day, and the arguments and faots contained in the volume before us will tend to confirm the believers in Darwinism, even if they do not convert its opponents. Whatever opin ions may be held with regard to Mr. Darwin's theory, it is certainly one of great interest; and his new work is worthy of the attention of Btudents of natural history and others, if only for the sake of the remarkable array of facts which the author brings forward t sup port his position. The second part of the volume before us is devoted to the considera tion of the curious subject of sexual selec tion, which will be further discussed in a eeoond volume now in preparation. Ileceived from Porter & Coates. Forter & Coates also send us of the recent publications of D. Appleton & Co. a well-written and entertaining narrative of a trip across the American continent by way of the Pacific Railroad, by W. F. Rae. The book is entitled "Westward by Bail; r, The New Iloute to the East," and is made up of a series of letters to the London Daily News, largely rewritten and augmented by the addi tion of new matter. Mr. llae evidently made a rapid trip through the United States, and Lis observations could not be otherwise than superficial; but this book proves him to have been wide awake, intelligent, and anxious to obtain reliable information. It is written in a more unprejudiced vein than is usual with the productions of bold Britons who attempt 30 describe Americanisms; and if it contains nothing very new or startling, it at least has the merit of being readable and entertaining. The following reference to the feeling in this country towards England seems to indicate that Mr. Ilae's experience was different from that of Mr. Thomas Hughos, who declared that while he was individually received with the greatest cordiality, he nevertheless found a universal sentiment of dislike, if not of hos tility, to England as a nation: "Nothing gratified me more than the feeling of kindliness towards the Old Country which I found pervading the American people. The bitter ami undying animosity about which much has been written exists on paper only, or In the distempered minds or Irreconcilable Fenians. In this particular the press is not a faithful exponent of the public Beutimcnt. A disposition to construe In the worst sense all the actions of the United Kingdom, and to discredit her on every occasion and in ever; imagi nable way, is certainly the characteristic of the press of New York. 1 believe this to be mere sound and fury, wholly devoid of significance. It Is the relic of a traditionary policy, rather than the token of a living and active hostility. To find a parallel to It, we have not far to seek. Long after the English people were on a footing of amliy with the French, the tone of the pren8 towards France was little more friendly and complimentary than tn the days when it was the bud fashion to style Frenchmen our hereditary foes. The change In public opinion has now been responded to by the press of England, while that of France, reluctant to allow old jealous ies to subside Into oblivion, still harps on the imagi nary plots and intrigues ot perhdlous Albion." Englishmen commit a fatal error when they try to convince themselves that the press on this subject does not express the prevailing sentiments of the people of the United States. "Fun Better than Physio; r, Everybody's Life Preserver," by W. V. Hall, M. D., pub lished by II. N. McKinney &, Co., No. 1G North Seventh (street, is a series of brief maxims with regard to the best method of preserving health, many of which contain much sound sense and not a few much non sense. Dr. Ilall is well known as the editor of HaU's Journal of Health, and as an inde fatigable rider of certain hobbies, and his reader will do well to exercise a little of their own native common Bense before accepting bis maxims as gospel truth. The work be fore us contains many things that are to the point, and that will be found of praotical use to all classes of present or prospective suffer ers; and if there is not much wisdom in some of his suggestions, they at least have the merit of being harm'ess. "Cruel as the Grave," by Mrs. E. D. E. N. Sonthworth, published by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, is a story in which the pepper and spice are as lavishly used as in any of the previous performances of the same pen. The admirers of Mrs. Sonthworth will find "Cruel as the Grave" abundantly entertaining. From the Central News Company, No. K05 Chesnut street, we have received the latest numbers of AU the Year Hound, The CornUU Magazine, Temple Mar, Punch, and Fun. From W. S. Turner we have received Applcton'i Journal, Every Saturduy, and the following new magazines: The April number of The Transatlantic contains an admirable series of short stories selected from the best English periodicals. A good short story is something that every reader can enjoy, and The 2'ransatlantic Always contains the best there are going. Arthur's Lady 's Home Magazine for April contains several pleasing illustrations, fashion plates, eto., and an interesting variety of reading matter. Ihe Children' Hour for April has abun dant entertainment for the yoang people in the shape of pretty pictures and readable stories and sketches. The Lady' Friend, for April contains a variety of illustrations of the latest novelties in feminine attire, and a series of literary contributions which are up to the usual stan dard of excellence. Mr. Turner also sends us The Miners' Journal Coal Statistical Register for 1871. This valuable compilation gives the statistics of the coal trade for 1870, with the prospects of the trade in 1871, a history of the causes of the great suspension of 1870, an abstraot of the report of the mine inspectors, and much other interesting information. MYSTERIES OF E VEIt Y-DA Y LIFE. The ingenious and delightful author of the "Miseries of Human Life" left his task but half accomplished. They have multiplied since in fresh and unlooked-for variety; and a pleasant chapter or two may be written on the Bubject hereafter. At the present mo ment I am desirous of acquiring information upon certain every-day occurrences, rather than of enlarging on the various forms of so-called accident that are attached ap parently even to my very nomencla ture; for my name is Hassard, and might much more properly be called Certainty, if at all designed to symbolize the constancy of Fortune's freaks with my social status. There are few things that have not happened to me; indeed, I doubt if there are any more odds and ends left in Nature's curio3ity-box now to happen; of late, too, things have rather given over happening, and the few that have turned up were old happens slightly refurbished with fresh materials of worriment. Philosophers are proverbially skin-deep only; as a prominent instance of which I may remark, in relation to the present subject, that the inquiring mind which, some time since, led the writer of "Two o'clock in the morning" to investigate the causes why, at that particular hour, the clock ticked un usually loud, the wardrobe creaked and the bed-room door opened of itself, might have still farther extended its researches with advantage into the ' mysteries of every-day life. I should like, for instance, to have had a chapter explaining what becomes of all the pins; and calling attention to the fact, that for one pin ever picked up by the thriftiest old maid, at the least a thousand go the way of all pins, whatever that may be. Talk of the source of the Nile, or the dis tance of the fixed stars here is a mystery which comes home to us all; yet at the pre sent moment is as far as ever from being cleared up. Inquire from the intelligent gentleman who presides over the great pin manufactory at Gloucester; he will tell you nobody knows; and very glad he is nobody does know where all the millions of pins an nually turned out there go to, else they might some day all turn up again, to the great detri ment of Messrs. Kerby, Beard, and Kerby, and'other partners in the prickly trade. It has indeed been snggested that inasmuch as needles have been known to enter the hand and come out of the foot of human beings, so pins find their way from- the snr fase to the centre of the earth; which, if so, must at the present time be pretty full of them. Without entering on the merits of this theory, it is one, though not a very satisfac tory, way of accounting for the disappear ance, by hundreds of millions annually, of objects which can neither melt nor wear out. I shall not stop now to inquire why bread al ways falls on the buttered side, especially where the carpet beneath is fluffy and well adapted to adhere; that is a clear case of awkwardness having its own reward, and one that follows much more quickly than is to be found in the apocryphal case of virtue so placed. But I should like to know why it is that, on the few occasions in my life when I have been obliged to breakfast in bed, the mere introduction of a harmless oup of tea into the room should immediately cause that bed to be full of crumbs? Any one who has had the gritty experience in question will testify to the fact, as also to the desperate efforts immediately made to get rid of the in truders, and to the inevitable result; viz., that the clothes are all got rid of, the crumbs alone remaining, to give a lively sense of a night passed upon a gravel-walk. In like manner, I Bhould desire some hints as to the origin of what may be called the inevitable tack or small nail, with a flat head which, by extreme dexterity, stands erect thereon, point upwards, at my bedside, when ever I chance to get up to light a candle at night, and receives my foot as I descend? No amount of previous sweeping will insure against the intrusion of this piquant object. I should be obliged too by having my scien tific aspirations gratified, as to why eolipses of the sun or moon are always visible with particular advantage in all the uninhabitable parts of the earth, and rarely, if ever, in a country where there is anybody to see them? I put it to any person possessed of an alma nao and common sense, whether Central Africa, Cochin China, the Carpathian Moun tains, and the South Pacific Ocean have not for ages enjoyed an undisturbed monopoly of astronomical phenomena, to the utter exclusion of all parts of the world where anybody dwells. Once more coming to terrestrial subjects; as a matter of speculation, it would be interesting to asoar tain the relations between dust-carts and rain whether the advent of dust-carts pro duces rain, or that of rain produces the dust carts. It has been a subject of contention in alpine regions whether the snow pro duces the cold, or the cold produces the snow; and after severe rheumatio attacks by parties in their zeal for discovery, muoh is found to be said on both Bides. I am a particularly cartful person; it is therefore very mysteri ous to me by what 'means varieties of fluffy subbtances get into the corners of nearly everything I possess as, for instance, my ink-bottle, which appears to geuerate small rags of its own aocord; and the pockets of my waistcoats, which seem to possess the property of producing an unfailing supply of soft cottony deposits, for the sole purpose of getting into my watch-key. I shall es teem it a favor if any one will clear up to me that lingual mystery concerning the un fortunate letter h as pronounced in the ver nacular by a large portion of our fellow-subjects. I could indeed understand its being nnpronounced, therefore always left out; or its being an especially inviting aspirate, I therefore always put in; but why the rule of wrong should be so unexceptionally adopted, as often under circumstances of ex treme difficulty to cause the pronunciation of the unhappy consonant where it does not exist, and the omission of it where it does, is a mystery that has cost me years of fruitless investigation, and gives me almost a 'eadAache to think of. The favorite eockneyism of the Weller school, the substitution of v for to, and to for c, has become comparatively extinct, so ceases to trouble me. Will any one account to me for a phe nomenon of daily, I may almost say hourly, occurrence, viz., the manner in which in animate objects get themselves out of the way the moment there is a 'demand for their services? This applies to evervthina;; the very pen with which I wrote the foregoing passage has sui proprio motu got from my study-table into the next room, and is found upon my dressing-glass, near which I have not been since nine this morning! If I am going from home for a few days, my clothes all seem to be aware of the intention, and hide themselves in places where they never were before; my papers usually most regu lar in arrangement of a sudden beceme topsy-turvy; a Love-ditty gets into an Essay on chemistry, and a Christmas tale into the British Constitution. For the faoulty of jnmbling themselves together in inex tricable confusion, however, on these occasions, and at the shortest moment, com mend me to the keys: they beat all. Tae scissors you have just laid down may indeed be found in a book you have not opened for months; the razor you shaved with this morn ing, in a drawer locked up last summer; and your gloves and card-case have seized the opportunity of getting into the deepest cor ner of a portmanteau you don't intend open ing till yonr journey's end days he nee. But all these are nothing to the kej-s; there they are, a bunch stuck together in a manner that defies all attempts at extrication; the large keys have got into the small one; the small ones, webs, pipes, rings, and all spontaneously intermingled with a complexity of entanglement that Hours of perseverance would not have en abled one to achieve. I would like, too, to be informed what it is that takes possession of my pens. I am most particular about them; yet L constantly And their nibs in one of two conditions either the form of a letter V split-up, to the feathers; or as snarp, and, for the purposes of writing, as ufitlnl, as a skewer. Why, again, do two left-hand gloves al ways find their way into the pocket of my evening-coat, and in the effort to accommo date myself to circumstances, cause me to appear as though I had paralysis in the right ? The alternative to this, disaster is the fate by which I meet a rural friend of warm temperament, who grasps me fervently by the hand, bursting my glove up the back, whilst the button hits the opposite wall. I stop not to inquire why all your 'swell' friends meet yon when you don't want them, and never when you do. This is simply the contrariety of human nature. But I should like to know why an individual be it man or woman with whom for ages I may not have corresponded, invariably is seized wun a lit of writing to me at the same moment as I break silence to him or her, our two letters crossing each other witn an exactness no pains could insure ? lias any one, I would ask, ever yet taken up what he thought was the poker, that he did not find it was the shovel ? or was a pair of bellows or tongs ever yet found in any inn or lodging-house ' When was that enormous stock of hair-cloth sofas and chairs con structed, which abound in every one of the said inns or lodgings ? and why are the cushions invariably loose, and their pad ding composed of shingle ? Who grew the worsted flowers that flourish there ? and what fish ever inhabited those brown shells now devoted to earwigs ? Why is No. UK) the only room ever vacant at any hotel when I arrive en garcon, although there is not the slightest evidence of there being any other traveller in the house? But why, O why, do things and people all get astray that you do want; and why are those always -en evi dence that you don't, and even they disap pear when at last their presence would for once be desirable? And why don't things happen yes, happen that's it (my belief is, every tiling happens, and life is passed in a chronic condition of toss-up) why. I ask. don't things happen just the reverse way of what they do ? And then another thing would happen; and that is, that I shouldn't have written this article; and you would have lost a great opportunity of improving your mind and enlarging your understanding !
