If Darwin would chango his tactics nnd

somo men nro brutes now, and the general
ization is a fair one, we ehould ho inclined
to accept his theory at once. It is simply
absurd to place much emphasis on tho hy
pothesis that the human racoonco had tails,
which tails were curtailed by slow degrees,
until at last the jicculiarity of no tail was
curtailed, so that nowadays no one can truly
6ay of a man "thereby hangs 11 tail." We
6ay it is simply absurd to suck at this dry
orange when better facts anil arguments nro
to bo had for the asking. It would not be
n great strain on tho scientific imagination
to assert that, even in good society, there are
human cats, who affectionately mew and
purr at the feet of a rich man nnd lift tho
velvet from their claws when they deal with

To tub Editor op Tun Advocate: A few

terest to your readers.
This valley of choico and fertile farming
lauds is at present undergoing somo rapid
changes. The lauds are eagerly sought af
ter by settlers, and buildings and improve
ments aro going up on nil 6ides. And it
seems lo me that this is good judgment on
tho part of tho settlers. They prefer it to
going Wcst,bccauso the soil is excellent and
tho Water Unsurpassed, nnd because theycah
remain near tho great centres of commcrco
and civilization, nnd because, when they
have any thing lo Bell, they aro nt tho door
of one of tho best markets in tho world.
Thcso latter considerations nro generdlly
wanting in tho far West. Theso lands can
bo bought on easy terms nt from $3 to $C
per acre. Mr. Rajishor, of your borough, is
at present erecting toino fine buildings on n

ded, "What can I do? 1 am hero by tho will
of tho Archbishop and I cannot leave until

in his jwwer to pour oil on tho troubled

his efforts are without avail, as they aro as
widely separated as they wero 011 the Sun
