TIIE BIBLE OF MODEMS SCIENCE.
The preparation of the "new Bible,
whioh is to be inspired by sweet rea
sonableness, has not made much ad
vance yet. We lay before our readers
the improved version of the first chap
ter of Genesis:
1. There never was a beginning.
2. And cosmos was homogeneous
and undifferentiated, and somehow or
another evolution began and molecules
appeared. ' ... ! -
3. And molecules evolved proto
plasm, and rhythmic thrills arose, and
(hen there was light. ,
4. And a spirit of env was do
veloped and formed the plastic cell,
whence arose the primordial - germ.
5. And the primordial germ became
protogene, and protogene somehow
shaped eocene; then was tho dawn of
life.
6. And the herb yielding seed and
the fruit tree yielding seed after its
own kind, whose beed is in itself, de
veloped according to its own fancy.
7. The cattle after his kind, and
the beast of the earth after his kind,
and every creeping thing became
evolved by heterogeneous segregation
concomitant dissipation of motion.
8. So that by the survival of the
fittest there evolved the simiads from
the jelly fish, and the simiads differen
tiated themselves into the anthiouior
phitic primordial types.
9. And in due time one lost his tail
and became a man, and behold, he was
the most cunning of all animals.
10. And in the process of time, by
natural selection and survival of the
fittest, scientists, skeptice, infidels, and
scoffers appeared, and -behold it was
very good. London Freeman.
DOES GOLD OUOWt'
Years ago I wrote and published in
a London magazine an article in which
undertook to prove that gold grows1
grows the same as grain or potatoes
or any thing else. I reckon I did my
work crudely, not knowing any thing
about chemistry or even the ordinary
terms of expression about such mat
ters, and so my earnest and entirely
correct ssetcn was torn all to pieces
and laughed to scorn.
Well, I have at last found positive
proof of my general statement right
here in these mountains by the Pa
cific sea. Briefly and simply, I have
found a piece of petrified wood with a
little vein or thread of gold in it.
How did that gold get into that piece
of woodt Was it placed there by the
finger of God on the morning of crea
tion, as men have claimed was the
case with the gold found in thp veins
of the mountains? Nonscnce!
Gold grows! Certain conditions of
the air, or certain combinations of
earth and air and water, and whatever
chemicals may be required, and then
a rock, a piece of quartz, or petrified
tree, for the gold to grow in, and there
is your gold crop!
Of course, gold grows slowly.
Centuries1 ujon ceutunes, it may be,
are required to make the least sign of
1 1 Tft 1 - -
growtn. jjut it grows just as 1 as
serted years ago; and here at leact
hold in my hand such testimony as no
man in this world win be rash enousjh
to question -a portion cf a petrified
tree with a thread of gold in it. Joa
quin Miller.
WAaillSQTOJT ZXTXEX
WAsniifoTox, Oct 26, 1886.
There is much speculation just now
in regard to the complexion of the
Fiftieth Congress. . There is great
diversity of opinion, of course, as to
which party will have a majority. As
Hon, S...S. Cox said; "ther will be
many holes in the House. The places
of many prominent men will be filled
bv new ones." But Sanafar TTann.
thinks the democrats will have at least
twenty-five majority. They have such
a large majority in tho present House
that it is not believed it can be over
come unless apathy shall prevail to a
much greater extent in the democratic
than the republican districts; ,
: The boldest declaration cf "the pres
ent campaign was made by Elaine in
a recent speech in Lewiston, Maine,
which was in effect that the republicans
would repeal the civil serrice law and
at once turn out every democrat in the
service of the government Civil ser
vice commissioner. Oberly, taking
Blaine to task, sail that having en
deavored to make himself acceptable
te the temperance people, tho laboring
men and every shade of religious opin
ion, he now seeks to commend himself
to that portion of the democracy op
posed to civil service system, in order
to make his "calling and election sure.'
In the campaign of 1884 he promised
to purify politics by introducing the
very system which he now deprecates
so strongly, if the people would honor
with their votes. , Mr- Oberly re
marked that it was the boldest state
ment Blaine had made so far, and
showed his swivel-like proclivities.
A gentleman from New York, a
leader of the democratic party in that
city, who was here during the week,
was speaking of the president's natural
anxiety in tegard to the success of the
party in New Yerk this fall. He has
been on trial for eighteen months, and
he thinks the people, of the state
which put . where he is will express
their opinion of the administration and
its method at the polls this fall. He be
lieves tbey are with him, but he does
net know it certainly, and that renders
him anxious as to the result. Yes,"
continued he, "Cleveland's - present
term is experimental." But it the
Democrats carry the next general elec-

of power, and nothing can stop
them. '
The journal of the House of Repre
sentatives for the first session of the
present congress has just been issued,
and it is exactly one half larger than
ever before. It was so bulky that it
had to be bound in two parts of six
teen hundred pages each. Some heroic
remedy is needed for the bloated Con
gressional Record, and it has been
suggested that Congress adopt a rule
that no man shall make a speech from
manuscript That would take out the
worst trash which now seeks a harbor
within the official chronicles. t
Mrs. Cleveland is employiug the
pleasant autumn days in overseeing
the improvements and repairs upon .
their country house. She drives out
there almost every afternoon, accom-
anied by her mother. The interest
02 stage of decoration has been
reached, and the important question of
ceilings, carpets, and draperies is under
consideration. Since the purchase of
his little farm the president has been
much interested in agricultural mat
ters. He intends to sow twe nty acres
in clover, and an orchard of New York
pippin trees is to be set I out Grape
vine arbors are being ' added to the
place, and several cows of fine breed
and other blooded stock are to be sta
bled on the premises." Mr. ; Cleveland
has been advised that a man of his full
habit, doing so much mental work,
needs something more 1 invigorating
than riding out for an hour or two.
So he is anxious to do some of .
the granger work himself this fall and
next spring, if only for exercise.
The farm is so far from the road that a
passer-by would have to scan the prem
ises with a field glass to recognize any
one. He can work to his heart's con
tent, consequently, without being
watched. The President will find a
great deal of comfort in this place
after the business cf the day is over,
and he is entitled to it, for he ia work
ing his life out in office. :
The Lancet makes a distinction be

of tobacco. Tho man who can Bay, "I

is one, it suggests, who had better not
smoke at all; but "a moderate use of
tobacco soothes the senses, and leaves
the mental faculties free from irrita
tion, ready for calmly-clear intellectual
processes. When this is not the effect
produced by smoking the weed had
bettor be eschewed.".
