V1 J > CHARLES ROBERT DARWIN Ko man of science and no philosc phor of the present ago , if wo oxccp Herbert Spencer , has exorcised moi influence upon current thought c oxcitcd wider contention among hi contemporaries than Charles Darwii whoso death occurred on Thursday i London , at the ripe old ngo of 7 years. IIo was born at Shrowsburj on February 12th , 1809 , and receive his education at the grammar schoi of his native town , at the universit of Edinburg , and at Christ collcgi Cambridge , where ho took his dcgrc of M. A. in 1831. Predisposed froi youth to scientific ) pursuits , ho snile the snmo year in the ship "Jioaglo" ! volunteer naturalist in the survey i the coast of South America , nnd completed plotod the tour of the globe before h return to England , five years late when ho published his first work , r cording his observations , which hi bcon declared the most cntortainir book of gouuino travels over writtci Subsequent works wore the "Zoolog of the Voyage of the Bonglo , ' (18-10 ( a treaties on "Coral Reefs , " (1842 ( on "Volcanic Islands , " (1844) ( ) , an "Geological Observations , " (1810 ( In 1859 , after a long season of stud and laborous observations , ho brongl out his famous work on tli "Origin of Species by Moans of NJ tural Selection , " a volume which hi made him famous throughout th glebe and whoso production marks a era in the philosophic thought of th century. Darwin has often bcon called th father of evolution. In a strict none this is not true. Hints of the thoor U at the universe aa it now exists : the result of an immense nodes c chancres , related to and dcpondin upon each other , are found as fi back as Domooritus and Loukippos < the old Atomic school. Leibnitz an Knnt in cosmology and BuOon , Wol and Oootho in biology advanced pos tivc theories on the subject , while i to Lord Monhaddo in 1774 that tl suygtf lion of the origin of man froi the ape IB first duo. Lamarck , Gooffrj St. Hilaro nnd Alexander Von Hun bolt early in the present century cot tended that species are not immutabl and Richard Owen in 1850 referred < the struggle for existence as a causa c destruction of types least fitted for th conditions around them and propose the theory of the origin of species b "derivation" in preordained BUCCOI sion. Mr. Darwin's peculiar thoor is based on the theory of ovolutio but not identical with the hypothosc of any of his predecessors. Accord ing ( to Mr. Darwin tho''change i ipeciea and varieties has been du to a process of naturt selection operating through food , cli mate , station and condition and th number of living beings with whic the organism has boon surrounded Those influences have limited or e ] panded plants and animals , woodin out little by little those loss fitted fc the struggle of existence and slowl but surely raising the typo. In hi work on the "Descent of Man" (187J ( Mr. Darwin applied his theory of na < ural selection to the human raca. Th volume , which was merely a logict continuation' his former work , oj cited scarcely less interest. It dis played a profound knowledge of th facts of science , untiring labor in th collection of materials bearing upoi his theory und remarkable powers c generalization. But its oonolusioi has boon anticipated by the "Origii of Species. " The hypothesis of eve lution of Lamarck , and the theory o evolution of Owen and Mivant , ha < bccoMo the doctrine ol evolution ac cepted by nearly every chair of soienc In European nniveraitios and th' Foundation for the researches of' hun Irodsjof "scientist jn every oountr ; an the glo'he. ' It is Mr. Darwin's great glory tha bis marvellous collection of facts bear [ nt ; upon his theory furnished the materials torials for the excellent work of score of his contemporaries. The grca law of evolution was stud led in every department of tin anivorao of thought in every brand tt toionco , ni.d made the basis of tin nose comprehensive philosophy of tin Jay. Much of the credit for thi { real stimulation of research is" du < o Charles Darwin. While his theon > f natural selections in evolutionary iroqreus ia not to-day held is gen irally as it was a few years ago , eve ulion as a doctrine forms the basii > f the freshest and deepest of ourronl icientifio investigation.

OTHER IiANDS THAN OTJRS. Parliament reassembled on Mondaj kfter tha Easter recew and has ao iomplished little of Interest dnriuj ; h weelc. The Tote * already takei ihowthat the cloture will pu bj i majority of probably forty rotei and this may bo accepted as the poai tivo strength of the Gladatono minif try aboro their party opponents , Thi is less than ono-half the majority wit which Mr. Gladstone wont into offic and the loss is duo chiefly to his onci gotic efforts for land reform in In land , which has alienated from ih liberal ranks a largo portion of tli whig following. Mr. Gladstone's pci sistency in his efforts to reform th land laws of Ireland is in strict ft < cordaiico with his past record as conscientious and enlightened stated man. The Irish people twenty yoai hence will gladly admit whatto-day the deny , that from the day in which h became a power in Englnh politii Wm. E. Gladstone has bcon the fin friend of Irish reform. No Englisl man of equal political rank and wcigl has staked his political fortunes so o ten in efforts to rudross Irish grici nnccfl , In his lost premiership li risked everything on the disostablisl inont of the Irish church , and thoug ho carried that important moasui through , his influence was so weal onod thereby that the Irish univor , ity bill tailed and drove hi ) from office , When , after long rotiri mont and a desperate struggle again : seemingly odds , ho again obtained tb reins of the government , ho could no from a political point of view , hat boon severely blamed had ho avoidi this dangerous rock altogether , b ( riving Irish affairs no moro attontio than was absolutely necessary ; loavio them to run in the old ruts during tl brief periods which the limitations i already advanced ago assigned his at ministration. But ho plunged i once into what ho know would hi and certainly has boon , a sea of di ficulties , with OB much ardor and di termination as if ho were thirty ii stead of beyond three score and tot Ho deliberately sacrificed the eo o an peace which a policy of "masterly ii activity" would have secured him , an opened u battle in behalf of In land which ho will not hvo to see tt end of. That the land bill is not all Irolan ought to have , may bo conceded ; an there is little doubt that its authc is fpr from satisfied with itnnd woul gladly have brought it nearer tli league standard If ho could. But li wont just as far as ho could go withot wiping out the liberal majority i parliament , and thereby restoring tl ; conservatives to power. Such a bi as Mr. Parnoll and his followers di Btandod would not hwe obtained hundred supporters in both housei and within forty-eight hours after th test vote was had Gladstone's reaigm tion would have been in the hands c the queen , and Ireland at the moro of the party which boliovea or i least has always acted as if it believe that Ireland has no rights whic England is bound to respect. Eve : the most enthusiastic moinbor of th league will admit that the land bill i better , very much better , than iioth ing ; and that in any event it will when fairly in operation , improv moro or loss the condition of the ton ants. The persistent , uncompromis ing and vindictive opposition of th landlords is all-sufficient proc of this ; nnd therefore , we insie that Mr. Gladstone dosorvee from every true friend of Ireland thanks rather than abuse. Ho ha done what ho could , and all ho could to lighten the crushing burden unde which the Irish tenant has groan o for centuries ; and ho has done more- let it bo berne in mind than an ; other man living or dead could hay dono. Without his personal prostig and influence tha land bill woul never have reached a second roadin ; indeed , would , never have been in troducodat all ; and sven with thi prestige and influence it could nothav become a law had it not been precede * by tha coercion act. That act , whicl is the moat potent causa ot Glad stone's present unpopularity with th Irish , was absolutely indispensable t hold the liberals in and out of parliament mont together. Had it boon withholi and the government hesitated lon | before presenting it the introduc tion , to say nothing of the passage , o the 1 uid bill would have boon simpl ; mi impossibility. Alexander III is to bo crowned Era poror of all the llussias in May , if tin Nihilists in the meantime do not sue : oed in Bonding him to join his father I'ho assassination of General Sholm koff at Odessa , and the discovery o lynamito mines under the cathedra .vhoro . the coronation is to take place las made it evident that the Nihilist in Russia have not abandoned thi "execution" of government officer idioua to them , as pat t of their pro gramme , and the prompt measure taken by the government to have thi usassius tried and sentenced , and , ai la moat probable , promptly put ti death , indicates that the mild am jonoiliatory policy with which th < Russian government was recently credited baa had to yield to the atrait of circumstances. The bra of gooc feeling seems to bo aa far off aa over nd the state of nervoua irritatioi into which the doinga of the Nihiliati have thrown the Russian governmenl may therefore bo looked upon as m leu atrong a factor in the policy o ! mat government than before. In thi ; Monection a piece of newa published by the Berlin Genual * , the organ ol the Gorman Ultramontanos , Is of pai ticular interest. It is that an agree mcnt has boon effected between th Russian government and the Pope securing to the Catholics in Russi freedom of worship. This spring th oiiled bishops shalh bo permitted t return to Russia , and their paston letters shall no longer bo subjected t a censorship. It is eaid that the Rut sinn government , in view of its diplc malic isolation in Europe , wants to h at least on the friendliest possibl terms with tha peoples subject to il rule , and that this agreement with tli Pope ia mainly intended to conciliat the Poles , whoso good or bad hume would bo a matter of great iinporl anco to Russia in case of an intoi national conflict. Rumors regarding the release c the American suspects in Irish prisor are conflicting. Our gevornmont ht urged , with great emphasis , th necessity of their immediate trial c release , and it is certain that th alleged American citizens were ol ferod their liberty upon condition c at once leaving the country. A Dul lin difl patch to the Now York Horal that all imprisoned Americana wet unconditionally disahargod lacks cor firmation. Parnoll , meantime , re mains at liberty , although the time c his parole ia said to bo ended Whether this is with the consent c the government is unknown , althoug it ia believed that ho will shortly re pair to Kilmainham jail and agai yield himself up to iti keepers. Hi short period of liberty has had n noticeable effect upon the league which reports its entire outlay a 126,000 , with a balance on hand c 59,000. Bismarck's scheme for increasin the Gorman imperial rovcnuo b moans of a government monopoly c the manufacture and sale of tobacco i likely to fail. Contrary to all general oral expectation , the economic COUE cil , which was called together by th chancellor himself about a year age with the avowed object of givin counsel and scientific or technical ai to the govoinmont in reference t fiscal undertakings , has refused its ap proval of his favorite measure , the to bacco monopoly bill. This was th last thing that Bismarck had oxpectoi from it , and the London Daily Now correspondent says that ho "feels thi defeat most keenly , and seldom ha been so vexed and excited as when h heard the result. " This rejection o the proposed bill by the economi council by no meana implies its de feat. The council is , indeed , morel ; the chancellor's private and extra constitutional parliament , and he i hi no way bound by its decisions The ultimate fate of the governmen bill rests with the reichstag , and it i impossible to predict what , in its present ent factional condition , may bo don in that body. It appears , howevoi that public opinion throughout th empire , while favoring a higher ta on tobacco , is unmistakably advora to the monopoly. The result of th chancellor's present conflict with th imperial parliament will bo watcho with interest. Italy appears to bo making progros of a very satisfactory kind , and rejoices joicos in budget surpluses. That c last year was , it seems , nearly $10 , 000,000 , and that for the current yea is estimated finally at $125,000 , afto allowing for 92,000,000 of increase * expenditure on military purpose ! Taxes are being reduced , especial ! the grist tax , perhaps one of the vor ; worst imposts in existence , which it i proposed to clear out of the way b ; 1884. The floating debc la also dim iniahing , the treasury debt being noi only 120,600,000 , aa compared wit ! 945,000,000 in 1878. The financ minister , Signor Malignani , therefor feels justified in taking an optimia view. Ho ia sanguine that the gooi financial position of the country wi ! guarantee the abolition of the force * paper currency , and that the countr , ia making solid progress. The ini ports and exports had together in creased by $20,000,000 lost year a compared with 1880 , and the facts or altogether very reassuring. Only on thing should wo like a little more ex plauation about. What is the araoun of the "extraordinary expenditures each year , and how is it molt Th "extraordinary expenses" of the arm ; done are apparently put down at abou 505,000,000 for the years 1880 to 1880 ind telegraphic summaries do no make it clear what relation these hav bo the ordinary budget. The working classes of Berlin celebrated bratod , a few wookr ago , the annivor lary of the chief street-fighting then during the revolution of 1818.

TUB house commerce committee i said to bo committed io the Candle bill , which embodies the suggestiona o Charles Francis Adams to the cffoc that the relief sought by the countr ; will bo found in a permanent board o railroad commissioners with power t advise but without power to act.

Worse thai that , it ia a proposition to add to th already burdensome exactions of rail way corporations , a tax for maintain ing a useless board of railroad com missionera whose only function wil bo to draw from § 3,000 to 510,000 year each out of the national troae ry. EDUCATIONAL NOTES. The average d&lly attendance in th public schools of New Orleans is 10,14 : the whoio number of pupils registered b < Ing 19,910.

"Let a child , " sail the teacher who suggested the practice "make some observation on what he hai seen in the last few days , and then induci the others to tulle , on the same subject After a few days let each write out wha he has heard , and thus impress the matte : on the minds of thepupils.
