! I r I Diseases or Tin: Honsn. Darwin sums up tho result of his refccarchcs on this subject In tho following compact paragraphs: Even If no single fact had been known with respect to tho inheritance of dis eases and malformations by man, the evidence would have been complete in the case of tho horse, and this might have been expected, as horses breed much quicker than man, are matched with euro and aro highly valued. I have consulted many works, and tho iinnnlmltv of belief by veterinarians of all nations, in the transmission of various morbid tendencies, is surpris ing. Authors who have had wide ex perience, give In detail many singular ca-es, and assert that contracted feet, with the numerous contingent evils of ring bones, curbs, splints, spavin, foun der, and weakness of the front legs, broken and thick wind, melanosis, spe cific opthnliniu, and blindness (the great French veterinarian, Ilugard, going bo far as to say thata blind race could soon lie formed), crib biting jibbing and ill temper arc all plainly hereditary. Touatt sums up by saying that "there is scarcely a malady to which the horse is subject that is not hereditary," and Mr. llerard adds that tho doctrine "that there is scarcely a disease that 1oes not run in tho stock," is gaining alow advocate every day. I may add to these facts, established by such weight of concurrent testimony, what I have befoiu remarked in general, namely, that it N not the actual ail ments, such as contracted feet, ring liones, curbs, splints and spavin, hut the predisposing causes that are trans mitted. Tho disposition of parts, tho imperfect -Iiape and sixe or the faulty texture of any tendon, bone or muscle most favorable to a particular disease, are transmitted from sire to son. The same may bo said of thoso dis orders that affect the internal organs or tho whole body. Tho abnormal condi tion of tho blood, and not tho scrofulous symptoms it produces, is hereditary. 'The weakness In some of tho muscles of tho larynx that causes roaring, has n hereditary tendency. Tho narrow loins and ll.it sides that give a prone ness to attacks of diurrhau and colic, belong to a certain lineage. This constant tendency of morbid condition or defective organs to reap pear in the line, shows how important it is that hordes 'elected for breeding should he m)iiih1 in wind, limb and con dition. '; ojr&ishr J'armer. Tun ENfiijisir Skumom Tradi:. A correspondent of the London Times makes some very startling assertions in regard to the "sermon trade." Hav ing explained in what a deplorably un fit condition for their life's work young men take order, few of them having wiitten a teimon before ordination, lie says: "Then the efl'ort is o jrreat, the abil ity to small, the time so limited, the parish woik so urgent, that many an unhappy cm ate utteily breaks down and is driven to adopt very questiona ble expedients to meet tho emergency, llorrouing from friends, copying from books buying old manuscripts, are tried in tin 11 ; till at last in sheer des pair, he yields to the tempting propo K'd in a seimon-purveyer's circular of "a regular supply of original sermons iitlfs'Ol. a quarter, in strict confi dence." lie lulls conscience to sleep, jireaehes another man's discourse as Ills own, and deceives any lynx-eyed members of his congregation whoso beats command the pulpit by placing on his vehet cushion a lithographed imitation of hand wilting, instead of plain, honest punt." Tlie first indulgence leads to a con tinuance of the piaethe, and the un- nnppy (icig.nuan who tnesto lueak oil 1110 liaiiit only 1 mis the risk of expos ure. The purveyor not only lefiisos to (lihconlluun his weekly favor-., but raises the pi ice of sermons and threat oil' the victim with legal proceedings and exposure, Thco threats me. some times actually can ted Into execution, mid no less than tllteen clergymen were at one time summoned before a county court in consequence of having lefiiseil iop.iyfor seimons they did not want. A Mr mi: O.vi: 1i1"xdi;i:i LY.irr lllfill. Tho conespoudeiit of the Lon don Timet at Iteilin wuto: "Speak ing of Westphalia, I oimht to bestow a few voids upon an artist, a native of that province, wince talents and per novoranco have just completed u verv reniarkahie work. Some thirty or for ty years ago, when the unity move ment hul baiely eommeiiied, II err .Ernst, noii Handel, a Westphallan no bleninn, devoted to the sculptor's art, conceived the pitriotie idea of elect ing a gigantic statue to Hermann, the vanquisher of Varus, in tho Teiitoliurg forest. A grand national monument, the statuo was to reach (lie enormous proportions of 100 feet, not to speak of pedestal and base; and as it was to bo placed on tho top of a hill, the site of victory, the dilllculty of getting it in position not a little added to tho mae;. ! nittidu of the undertaking. In suite of all obstacles what appear ed a chimera thirty years niro has now become a reality. Assisted by wealthy friends and occasional public' j subscrip tions Heir von Uondel has completed the figure, and in two months expects to witness tiler-oleum inauguration of life monument by the German emper or. Tho statue Is of embossed copper, and has been wiouglit by the hand of tho man wlioo Iirafn created it. Ills whole llfo lias been consumed In this one object. When he had dono model ing no small task In tho eaniofa llg uro with hands five feet long ho took to the hammer and forge, and literally formed Hie immenso surface with his own unaided strength. A good deal of It was done tit the foot of tho hill whereon it stands, tho sculptor having built Himself a torgo and a nut close to his chosen locality. If tho whole is as imposing as tho head, which I saw ten years since, Germany will possess not only tno largest, but also ono ot tno best statues in Europe. This eighth wonder of the world will tower over tho famous oak woods near Detmold. the capital of the principality of Lippc." Lirr Us Invite tiii: Queen. Next year will complete a century since the United States broke looso from Great Britain and set un for themselves. The act was accomplished in the midst of war, anu naturally Fctt a good deal ot ill feeling between the parties. Besides, we had another war with England thirty odd years afterward, and the hostility of that conflict likewise rank led for a good while. Iiut now we have got on by ourselves for a century, and have dono very well on the whole; and wo are going to have a festival to mark the beginning of our second hundred years. We are at peace with all tho world, and wo doslro es pecially to emphasize the fact that peace is our intention and our perma nent policy, and not only peace, but friendship toward everybody; and how can we do tills in any other way so well as by demonstrating that even toward England, our near relation and our old antagonist, we have now no feeling but that of amity and goodwill'.' For this reason, wo ought to invite the Queen to tho Centennial. The invita tion should bo given by authority of Congress, and an appropriation should bo made to entertain her in a suitablo style. She is the head of tho Ensrlit-h nation, and when wo invite her, we prove as wo cannot do in any other way, our respect and esteem lor that people as well as for tho Queen her self. The Prince of Wales is going to India tliis fall, hoping thus to strengthen the political union between that country and Great Ilritian; but how much more the Queen, by coming here, would do to intensify and strengthen the friend ship between two of the most powerful nations ofthewoild. Let us ask her. A". Y. Sun. How Tm.'xnr.ti-Suownn Co.mi: Ui In order to convey a more definite idea of our theory, wo will choose a cer tiln locality which may serve tho pur pose of u diagram to our demonstration; and this locality shall be the region of Westltlver. This river takes its rise among tho forests near tho summit of tho Green Mountains, at a height of sotno 2,000 feet above tho level of tho sea, and, flowing southeasterly forty or fifty miles, empties into the Connecti cut Itiver about ton miles from tho southern boundary of the State. During a hot summer day the sides of the deen valley of this river reek with intense heat, and caue a flow of moist air upwind toward tho summits of the mountain ridge, from the valley of tho Connecticut, and also from the sea. This moist air, meeting with tho goneral curient fiom tho southwest, piles up an immense mass of cumulus cloud, of many sijuaro miles in extent. So long as tho intense heat prevails, this cloud increases in size; grows black and blacker with its dense vapor, and casts a gloomy, lurid glare over the face of Natuie, darker than that of any eclipse. The vapor, pushed up by tho ascending ciirront.s ot Heated air, at tains to a great height above the oa, where the temperature is very lou. Hut finally, at that hour of the after noon when the heat begins to decline, the accumulated vapoi-, no longer aug mented or sustained by heated air from tho valleys below, fall in rain. 1'epn'ar Svienvv Junlifi.
