' TBS COMING DARWINIAN.
From Appleton'e Journal.
One of onr city Journals, whioh habitually
pays mnch Attention to the leading topics of
cientiflo And intellectual disonssion, lately
gave its readers a lively sketch of the last
results of Darwinism in an acooant of the
coming man, that is to say, of man as ho will
be in the future when the great Darwinian
prinolple of natural selection has perfeoted
its work, and the process of evolution, or de
Telopment, has been carried on for a million
years or so. "The account professes to be
based on disclosures of Mr. Darwin's private
views and speculations made by an intimate
friend of the philosopher now in this coun
try on the staff of the English High Com
mission. This imaginary disoiple of the
great master is made to represent that the
chief agent in modifying the coming man
will be his diet. Heretofore man has lived
upon the vegetable and animal organisms by
which he was surrounded. Fruits, plants,
and animals have been bis diet. Bat is this
necessary? Is it not possible that a food may
yet be discovered which, while organio and
susceptible of sustaining life, coed not
neoessarily be embodied in any form of vege
table or animal life? In other words, may
cot synthetio chemistry oome to
our aid in supplying concentrated food
which will replace the bulkier and grosser
forms of vegetable and animal aliment? In
fact, this is already being done. Immense
strides have been made of late years in this
direotion. Even your grocer deals in ex
tracts of beef and condensed milk and con
centrated coffee, and the druggists are sell
ing chemical food already in the shape of
the syrup of hypophosphites. We now
are beginning to learn of what
chemioal constituents our bodies are
composed. This has been discovered for ns
by analytic chemistry, and, indeed, nearly all
chemistry so far has been analytic. It has
disintegrated it has taken apart nearly, if
cot quite all, the materials of the universe
about us. We. now know pretty nearly of
what everything about us is composed, but
synthetio chemisty is of comparatively re
cent origin, and consists of the putting to
gether of the particles of matter about us
and forming new combinations. It is now
discovered that chemistry can give us organio
matter without the necessity of its having gone
through any form of organio life. 'Urea and
a host of other organio materials can be made
by chemists. There is no end to the possi
bilities of synthetio chemistry. Now, if in
the waste of the human body we oan find out
the material necessary to repair that waste,
clearly we are on the road to getting rid of
animal and vegetable food. If the disinte
gration of our bodies is a matter of pure chem
ioal decomposition, which is discoverable, and
if it is possible to put materials together
which will repair the waste of our bodies, why
may not the chemist take from the inorganic
earth about us such materials as he needs, and
supply what is required to the reformation of
our systems ? The German scientists have
discovered that there is no thought without
phosphorus, and so of all the material whioh
goes to compose our muscles, nerves, bones,
fat, etc, we are aware that they are built up
from certain constituents abeut us, and the
supplying of those constituents will give ns a
food which will render unnecessary the
slaughter of innocent animals and the eating
of gross vegetable products. Eating will then
be one perpetual delight, and there will be
co more dysyepsia, because nothing will be
taken into the system whioh the system may
cot appropriate. This will gradually
work an important change in the human form.
The man of the future, eating a food in whioh
there will be no waste, will have less strain
upon his abdominal regions. In time the
stomach will shrink, the liver will become
smaller, the intestinal canal will diminish and
ehorteB, the kidneys will not be so active or
so much used, and will hence decrease in size.
The race of "pot-bellied" men, men of huge
round paunches, will deorease and pass away,
while a raoe with small abdominal regions,
and with their organs of digestion reduoed to
a minimum, will take their plaoe. At the same
time the superior regions of the body the
lungs, and especially the brain under the
improved conditions which will exist when
this food is being eaten, will enlarge very
greatly. Whatever is used most will aoquire
a constant tendency to increase. As the pow
erful jaw and terrible neck of the lion are In
creased, generation by generation, while his
stomach decreases by his habit or life, so, too,
will the tremendous brain of the man. and his
vast nervous energy, called into being by this
oew food, give us a race with huge lungs and
of mighty brain-space. The brain will need
great blood-vessels to give it strength, and
these will create a necessity for deriving an
unusual amount of oxygen irotn the air. la
snort, tne man 01 tne iuture will have a
shrunken belly, a great breast and neok, and
a mighty head surmounting all. He will
also be without teeth, because he will have no
nse for them. And, as the infant of the
future will be fed on artificial food chemi
cally prepared for its best nourishment, great
changes will take place in
the female form, which it is not
necessary to specify. It will be seen by
those who have read "The Origin of Species"
and "The Descent of Man," and have mas
tered the principles of Darwinism, that these
speculations as to the man of the f ature are
far more reasonable and plausible, and have
much more of a real scientiflo basis, than Mr.
Darwin's theories as to the man of the past.
It is but the first step that costs, and, if we
admit at all the theory that natural selection
rules the universe instead of God, we need
not be startled or shocked at any lengths to
Which u may carry ns.
THE MISSIGPENSION OFFICER.
General Lawrence Not Yet Heard From
Ills Account All Ulgbt Thus Far.
aiiArta4nn1 nnnn Innnlrv this afrofnAAti H a
nothing bad yet been heard fronv General William
u. i-awrence, laujiy united states rension Agent,
In this city, who disappeared on the 16th of last
month. His family have concluded that he has been
murdered or haa met with some other serious mis-
bap. The statement that "there Is a woman" at the
bottom of the axj Btery la without foundation, so far
aa we can learn, muv prooamy originates la tne fer
tile brain of some Imaginative reporter.
Colonel Lock wood L. Doty, the new Pension
Agent, Is bus? examining the account of the orrinn.
and, up to the presentf.tlwe, haa discovered no dis
crepancies. Just after Mr. Lock wood left, a draft
of 880,000, for the payment of pensions, was sent to
bis office from the Treasury Department. As his
signature was necessary to give validity to the draft,
it could not be used, and between 17000 and IsouO
worth of checks, sent in by pensioner, bad t ha
protested at the Sub-Treasury. Uls absence con
tinuing so long, and being so Inexplicable, Colonel
Doty was appointed to nil his place. Owing to tie
confusion arising from the Interregnum it was
deemed best to suspend the business tt the ottlce
during this week, that the accounts might be revised
by the new Incumbent
It la understood that the payment of pensions will
t returned oa Monday next. A large number of
people wno have called at tho office for their pensions-have
been disappointed In not receiving nieir
money. Colonel Doty and his assistants courieojuly
explained the matter to all comers, and all anxiety
on account of the delay was allayed.
The latest supposition Is that General Lawrence,
while laboring under aberration of mind, may have
wandered among strangers. If he Is not dead, he
will probably be heard from as soon as he regatns
his right mind. Ills family and friends are thrown
into profound grief on account of his continued
COLONEL 00RTIN.
Colonel Corvin, a German gentleman who
has led a very stirring and adventurous life,
has just published his memoirs, whioh are very
entertaining, llere is one of his adventures:
He was educated at the Prussian Military
Academy, but, though he beoame an offloer
of the army, he was at heart a democrat,
and in 1848 took part in a revolutionary
movement against the crovernmen oi
Baden. It failed, and he was com
pelled to surrender at discretion, and was at
i i ; l
once arrested ana put in prmun as a traitor.
Corvin'a wife, a brave' woman, had
accompanied him, as many other wives had
accompanied their husbands, on this expedi
tion. Madame Corvin worked heaven and
earth, as the phrase goes, foroed her way
into the presence of the Princess of Prussia,
attacked Count Groebea, and . was thrust
aside as importunate. Before the surrender
she was heroio enough to bid her husband
'blow out his brains sooner than surrender
to the Prussians." But she rejoioed that her
advice had not been followed. When she saw
him in his prison, she said: "If yon must
die, I know you will die like a man." At last
his long-deferred trial came round. The
Baden Government was dealing with him.
yet the court was composed of Prussian
omcera and sergeants. Colonel uorvia made
an eloquent speech of two hours in his
own defense, but it was a foregone conclu
sion, lie was found guilty, "by five voioes to
one, condemned to be shot, and to pay the
eosU." As they drove away past the hotel of
the place he heard a cry from a window, and
a white hand was waved to him. lie was
thrust into the condemned cell. It was Sat
urday! and as co executions were allowed on
Sundays, and Monday would be too long a
grace, be knew he would be shot that night.
About tour nours tnen remained to him. lie-
side him was a little tumbled litter, from
which poor Lieutenant Sohad had risen that
morning for bis sentence. The jailer asked
with a sepulchral voice:
"Would he have anything, or see a clergy
man?"
The reply was an order for a good dinner.
a good bottle of wine, a dozen cigars, and
writing-paper. His gallant wife now arrived.
She had foroed her way into the grand duke's
palace, but he would not see her. With an
ingenious cruelty, all the princes, before the
insurrection was put down, had divested
themselves formally of the prerogative of
mercy, and relegated it to the hands of the
chief soldiers. When she Rot to the prison.
they had the execution dinner served, whioh
was furnished at the expense of the city.
She had a little plan for his esoape, but he
refused to avail himself of it. They were
then told that the execution was put off
until Monday. So here was a grateful respite.
Liate at mgnt, nowever, came the sound of
many tramping feet, and two officers called
him out to speak to him. She heard their
whisperings. It was to tell him that all had
been changed, and that he must be raady to
be Bhot at half-past 4 in the morning.
bhe heard every word. They were to come
for her at 3. The agony of the interval may
be conceived. The brave woman, however,
knew that if she gave way she would only un
nerve him. He held her in his arms all the
time; and, the only thought that came upon
her was, that what she felt so warm and
living would, by 5 o clock, be cold, dead, and
inanimate.
At three she was taken away. She knooked
at the house of some friendly citizens.
"They opened to me. After these good people
had lain down again at my request, I stood at
the open window alone, despairingly watohiog
the coming morning, and listening to every
sound. I felt as cold as stone, but I did not
lose consciousness.. The clock struok one
quarter half three quarters four ! lie has
only one half hour left to him. Then I heard
the report of some shots the people in the
house heard them also and I fell senseless
to the ground, as if they had pierced my
heart also." What a terribly dramatio pic
ture!. The prisoner was quite composed, having
faced death very often. lie made bis little
preparations. At dawn he heard footsteps,
and the mayor and officers entered.
"I am quite prepared, gentlemen," he said.
"No, my friend," said the voioe of the
counsel who had defended him, "we bring you
better news."
The honest lawyer had worked hard through
the night: had gone to Carlsruhe and obtained
r n - t i . i
and he passed six years in penal servitude of
the most terrible kind. He was at last re
leased, though his health was utterly shat
tered, and haa lived to write these entertain
ing volumes.
What Women Eat. Another popular be
lief is that women eat nothing. It Is, of
course, conceded that they sustain life by the
consumption of some article of nourishment;
but eating, in the wholesale acceptation of the
word, is supposed to be foreign to female
nature. This fallaoy is founded and sustained
by women themselves, who, during the
affected period of their lives, cultivate small
appetites, as being comme il faut, and a sign
of semi-angelic construction. When this per
nicious nonsense is conscientiously carried
out, the results upon the would-be angels are
squalor, red noses, certain loss of vigor, gen
eral limpidness, and some other unpleasant
tequela. But, as a rule, the smallest
appetites at the fashionable tables
are exhibited by those shrewd girls
whose natural and healthy wants
have been thoroughly appeased by secret stuff,

rical poem, concerning Violante in the pantry.

are no more fairies in this respeot than in the
matter ot weight.

MILLIONS OF SEALS.
The Poor Ma of Newfoundland Becom

A despatch from St. John's, N. F., says:
After a lapse of more than twenty years Of
general unprogresslveness and poverty, the dull
city of St. John's was aroused this morning by a re
pot t that gladdened every heart and sent a thrill of
excitement over the whole island. A steamship,
the Nlmrod, belonging to Job Brothers A Co., was
said to be in the nay, awaiting wind enongh to bear
her Into the harbor of St. John's, as her boilers were
unavailable, the bankers being literally stuffed with
seal skins. On her arrival we learned that her pre
cloni cargo was (9,000 seals the largest number
ever known to have been captured.
Vessels and steamships trimmed their ringing with
bunting from stem to stern, and with signal guns
fired a long-con tinned salute to the champion of the
fleet-in fact or all sailing crarts the world over.
The captain cf the Nlmrod says that he left 8U
John's harbor on the 1st nit. On the 17th, PU Pa
trick's day, the watch at the masthead gave the wel
come cry, "Seals ahead," whereupon the firemen
were ordered to quicken the flrear In another hour
the Nlmrod was an Island amid an ocean of seals.
In six days afterwards she was loaded and bore up
for home.
A few hours after the arrival of the Nlmrod, the
Steamship Hector hove in sight. Yet a few hours,
and we learned the amazing fact that she carried
with her 81,M0 seals an amonnt that In old times
would be called a fairy-land tain. The captain of
the Hector announces that In the Ice off which he
loaded, he communicated with more than fifty sail
of vessels, all loading or laden. The merchants of
St John's are compelled to extend their premises,
and build temporary vats for the rendering of the
enormous quantity of oil consigned to them. In the
harbor of St. John's there are now eleven arrivals
from the seal fishery, and their average catch la
81,000, making the extraordinary total of 241,000
seals, more than the entire catch of any one season,
though over a hundred vessels are yet to arrive at
bu jonn s.
In Harbor Grace the success of the seal hunters
has been equally great. The total catch of four
steamships now arrived at that port exceeds 109,000
seals, while lou vessels belonging mere are yet to oe
heard from.
Each steamship carries about 500 men. and all
will make another trip this season a fact never
previously known, as yet tne wages and snare oi
each seal hunter may be estimated at 1 1500. All
this has been earned by the heads of many poor
famines since Aiaren l. lou may expect cheap rurs
this year, and no dearth of oil for your machinery
and manuiactories.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Ilnsband and Wife Simultaneously
11.1 ilea Djr a xvaiiway xrain,
The Chicago Pott of Thursday evening has this
painful narrative :
A! frightful accident took plase at South Park, a
snort oistanca rrom nyae l ara station, about nan-
past four o'clock yesterday afternoon. At that
hour a man and woman were standing between
the two tracks, Intending to get on the Hyde Park
accommodation, which was then about starting.
Jnst at that time the Kalamazoo accommodation of
the Michigan Central Railroad came around the
curve at fall speed.
The ladv and Gentleman. snDnosinir that there was
bo danger, maintained their position beside the other
train : but as the engine passed, the trailing dress of
the lady was drawn by the current of air under the
wneeis or tne locomotive, ana almost instantly she,
powerless to resist, war drawn beneath the train.
At the same Instant the man seized hold of his
doomed companion, with the intention of resjue:
but the attempt failed, and proved fatal to both, for
man and woman were drawn under and crushed to
death. The body of the woman was mutilated in a
horrible manner, ana aeatn ensued almost instantly.
The man was Injured about the head and Internally.
He lingered in an insensible condition for an hour,
and then breathed his last.
The woman seemed to be abont twenty-seven
years of age. She was attired In a dress of dark
blue, a brown cnincnma sacque, tnmmea with vel
vet, a black velvet hat with white feather, green kid
gloves, and jet jewelry, set la gold. She wore a
plain gold ring on the third finger of her left hand,
on the inside of which was engraved, "With Edwin's
Love." The man appeared to be abont thirty years
of age. He was dressed In a dark-brown beaver
coat, light pants, boots, and a tall hat, Inside of
wnicn were ine iniuais "tu. ju
tes BODIES IDENTIFIED. '
At 10 o'clock this forenoon the bodies were Identi
fied by Mr. Jones, editor of the Protectionist. The de
ceased were Edwin Il arson, a printer, foreman of
the Protectionitt office, and his wife Mrs. Jenny
Jtl arson.
The deceased not having any relatives In the city.
the remains were taken In charge by the ashlar
Lodge of Masons, to wnicn air. iu arson belonged,
f revlous to the Identification, the bodies were taken
In charge bv John Mlddleton. M. M.. of the South
Park Lodge. A Masonic emblem was found upon the
deceased, ana it was tnus Known tnat ne Deionged
to the fraternity.
This terrible accident has been the theme of much
comment to-day. and the peculiarly painful circum
stances have taken a deep hold upon tho public
sympatny.
