Newspaper Page TextR$. c.; J&r Bstlg gvSimAatu ASTORIA- OREGON: THURSDAY- JAN. 12. 1882 J.F UtLLUn.i. -Editor. Prof. IlaeoKel'B Spontaneous Gen, 'eration. Passing by tho question of the development or improvement of specific forms by natural selection, for the present it is well to con fine Prof. Haeckel to the first liv ing animal, the "moneron," "the primeval parents of all other or ganisms," which confessedly did not and could not originate by "natural selection," because there manifestly can be no selection till there are animal forms from which to splect, and no survival of the fittest, till animals fit, and unfit for survival, first exist, and conse quently must have either been created or spontaneously gen erated. The stubborn question then presents itself to this radical phase of materialistic philosephy: is it rational to suppose that an animal (Moneron) possessing all the functional organs of ljfe neces sary for growing, procreation, nutri tion, voluntary motion, mental power, etc., could have been thus constructed by the action of pur poseless laws and forces, by which to bring the particles of matter together in suitable relation for the exercise of such vital and mental functions, and the production of such vital and men tal phenomena? The mere asking of the question is to emphasize the answer in the negative. As well might we expect the winds of the desert to drift the sand into furrows and ridges in such man ner as to constitute tho letters of the alphabet, and in such order as to spell out and write the Lord's prayer precisely as recorded in the book of Mathew. Should Prof. Haeckel chance to visit a far off sand plain in' some uninhabited re gion of the world, and there read the Lord's prayer, or the Declara tion of Independence in plain letters in the sand, where no hu man foot prints or other signs were visible, he would nevertheless in stantly conclude that some educa ted'human being had been there before him. But were that hy pothesis absolutely precluded by circumstances, and should he be forced to believe that the letters, words and sentences were really produced by the action of the wind in drifting the sand, he would then as certainly and instantly conclude that some intelligent power must have had control of the wind and giving direction to its currents by which these intelli gent and intelligible results had been accomplished. He would not for one moment think of attribu ting this orderly and purposive arrangement of the sand particles into letters, words and sentences to the operation of the settled laws of .nature, or to the interac tion of the physical forces unless such laws and forces were abso lutely under the direction of some intelligent power capable of thus controlling their action. Notwith standing this would be his philo sophical conclusion without a mo-' merit's, hesitation, yet t his living animal the moneron, (which con tains within its inconceivably com plete organism all the orerans and parts, though invisible, needed for tho purposes of nutrition, growth, reproduction, self division, volun tary motion, mental power, etc.,) presents to the mind of this philosopher no orderly -or intelli gent arrangements of parts or par ticles, no adaptation of means to ends, that might not easily have resulted from tho purposeless washing of the ocean waves, and their designless action upon some chance atom of sedimentary de posit, two hundred million years ago. He has no trouble at all in believing that the blind and will less laws and forces of nature, with no intelligent -direction whatever, might have easily organized this first living animal, which Darwin declares no "unbiased mind can study without being struck with enthusiasm at its marrelous struc ture and properties, and which, for grandeur of conception, intelligent originality of design and incon ceivable skill in execution as far surpasses the supposed letters and words of sand in the desert as the magnificent oration of a Webster transcends in intellectuality the unintelligible chattering of the magpie. The Antidote or Abstraction. "There is nothing good or bad in life but thinking makes it so," says Hamlet, and in general the assumption is correct. It is as if he had said: To think a thing makes it practically a reality al though it may have no existence. Indeed all the original influences that determine the fortune or hap; piness of an individual, lie in the control and direction of his mental faculties. How to agreeably ob tain a peace of mind is the vexing problem to millions of well mean ing men and women. Theologians und religious enthusiasts say that religion will confer it, but many by reason of their organization look with suspicion upon the effi cacy of faith. Were all natural enthusiasts that would be univers ally true, but to one not gifted with imagination it would not be fruitful of good results. But the power of abstraction, of preoccupa tion is within the grasp of any human mind. That faculty always permits the possibility of forget fulness and the annoyances of be setting temptation. The next thing to having no mind at all is, to be what is usually called '"ab sent minded." In preoccupying the weary or troubled mind with other thoughts or duties it is treating the mind as one would treat a troublesome companion, by leaving him, at least, for a season. Sleep, which is only a temporary relief, closes the mental vision alike from pain and pleasure. The for getfulness induced by liquor or narcotics reacts disasterously upon itself when the spell is done. The onlyjust and satisfactory resort is the' disciplining of the mind so" that one can be engrossed in pleas ant thoughts and pleasant work. External circumstances, nor un satisfactory surroundings cannot affect a mind thus trained to be self sufficient, a training that can be prosecuted with no fear thafit would lead to coldness, insensibil ity or cynicism. Such mental mo tion would be a tangible realizing of much that passes for the ob taiuance of true happiness and permanent enjoyment. The first fleet of steamers with cable for the Central and South American Telegraph company, was announced to leave London, November loth. No fewer than five steamers will be employed in laying the cable, 'following each other in rapid succession. The length of cable to be used is 3,082 nautical miles, and it is now being manufactured and loaded in Lon don at the rate of twenty-two miles a day. It is believed that the work at sea will be finished by the end of next July. Following tho announcement that we are to have sea going ves sels all covered in snug with noth ing above deck so that none can be hurt and nothing lost, comes the story ef a vessel in tho C.ir ribcan sea being turned com pletely over by a water spout and lost. But one man was lost, the others, diving, cut away a boat, and were rescued. There are twenty thousand Women in Massachusetts paying state and county tax 3,456,830. In Boston, two hundred and three women pay fourteen p.er ceat of all municipal taxes. Dr. Ferrel of Orange, Va., is tho oldest man in public life in the United States.

The Sux of isfls was a newspaper of s ne w kind, it discarded manv of the forms, and a multitude of the superfluous words and phrases of ancient Journalism. It under took to report in a fresh, succinct, uncon ventional nay all the news of the world, omitting no event of human interest, and commenting upon affairs with the fearless ness of absolute independence. The suc cess of this experiment wa the success of The Su. Itelfected a permanent change in the stjle of American newspapers. Every important Journal established in this country m the dozen ears past has been modelled after The M!r. Even liunorrant journal air. ady existing has been modified ana venerea uy tne torce or xur. bus's ex.imple. The hux of 1S82 will he the same outspok en, truthti lling. and Interesting newspaper.

We shall print all the news, putting it into readable shape, and measuring its import ance, nut by ihe traditional vardtic but by its real Interest to the people.
