A la Heenan --Two negroes, named Harrison and George, slaves of C P Word, got into a fight on Sunday about a five cent piece, but were interrupted by the police, and yesterday received the reward of their valor at the whipping post. Another party — Spencer and William, slaves of J. R. Anderson, and Alfred, slave of R. Archer-had an unfriendly set-to on the Canal Bank, but the appearance of an officer caused a suspension of hostilities, and the belligerents were punished by the Mayor's order. Others of the gang made a "run" on the Canal Bank, and escaped arrest.

New publications. Education; Intellectual, Moral and Physical. By Herbert Spencer, author of "Social Statistics," "The Principles of Psychology," &c. New York: D. Appleton & Co.--The contents of this book originally appeared in some of the British Quarterlies, and attracted much attention. Among the American patrons of the work appears the name of Edward Everett. The author advocates a system of training of a blended mental and physical character. His system, though not wholly original, is presented with great energy and force. His views on what he terms physical immorality, as connected with general mental character and physical development, are especially impressive. The author conveys to the reader a great deal of very excellent advice with reference to training and health of the young and habits of mature age. For sale by Woodhouse & Co.

mocracy. What a singular twist, again, in a man of Mr. Frederic Harrison's intellectual power, not, perhaps, to have in the exuberance of youthful energy weighted himself for the race of life by taking up a grotesque old French pedant upon his shoulders, but to have insisted, in middle age, in taking up the Protestant Dissenters too; and now, when he is becoming elderly, it seems as if nothing would serve him but he must add the Peace Society to his load! How perverse, yet again, in Mr. Herbert Spencer, at the very moment when past neglects and present needs are driving men to co-operation, to making the community act for the public good in its collective and corporate character of the State, how perverse to seize this occasion for promulgating the extremest doctrine of individualism; and not only to drag this dead horse along the public road himself, but to induce Mr. Auberon Herbert to devote his days to flogging it! We think thus unaccountably because we are living in an unnat

o far. An automaton automatically reflecting on its automatic character is a being which seems to defy conception. The connection of action with motive, of motive with character and circumstance, is what nobody doubts; but the precise nature of the connection, as it is not subject, like a physical connection, to our inspection, defies scrutiny, and our consciousness, which is our only informant, tells that our agency in some qualified sense is free. The all-embracing philosophy of Mr. Herbert Spencer excludes not only the supernatural but theism in its ordinary form. Yet theism in a subtle form may be thought to lurk in it. By continually seeking, he says, to know, and being continually thrown back with a deepened conviction of the impossibility of knowing, we may keep alive the consciousness that it is alike our highest wisdom and our highest duty to regard that through which all things exist as the Unknowable. Unknowableness in itself excites no reverence, even though it be su

and, without knowing anything of Quesnay and his doctrines, I have reached the same practical conclusion. In 1850 Herbert Spencer published his first book, Social Statics. The ninth chapter of this book, which is entitled The right to the use ofay be to embody in fact the theory of the co-heirship of all men to the soil, equity sternly demands it to be done. Mr. Spencer's views, however, do not appear to have moved any considerable number of men to take practical action towards rightingything relating to land is omitted, and the new book was accompanied by a publisher's advertisement to the effect that Mr. Spencer had abandoned the views contained in the old edition. Mr. Spencer in abandoning or withdrawing his original views in Mr. Spencer in abandoning or withdrawing his original views in this connection neglected, however, to disprove them. Other writers and apologists of the existing order sprang up by scores during the controversial period between 1880 and 1894, and many answers to Progress and Poverty were given to the world.

itain did not openly recognize the Confederacy. Had the masses of England sustained the official classes in regard to the American question, some sort of intervention by England in American affairs would in all probability have followed. The Englishmen whose influence educated and sustained the working classes upon this whole matter were John Stuart Mill, John Bright, Richard Cobden, Lord Houghton, William E. Forster, George Thompson, Goldwin Smith, Justin Mc-Carthy, Thomas Hughes, Herbert Spencer, Professor J. E. Cairnes--as well as the Gurneys, Buxtons, Webbs, and Clarksons of the previous generation: that is to say they were the heart and conscience of England of which Garrison had found himself to be a part in the early days, and by which the whole Anti-slavery movement had been comprehendingly followed during thirty years. The lower classes in England saw that the battle raging in America was their own battle, and that upon the maintenance of the cause of free labor the prog

arnest? If the devout impulse thus takes its place with the poetic, in a world outside of science, the question must inevitably follow, whether the ethical emotion is to take its place there also. At present, as we know, the followers of Herbert Spencer claim to have utterly captured, measured, and solved it from the point of view of science; and they dismiss the whole conception of Intuitive Morals as completely as Bentham thought he had annihilated the word ought, when he said frankly fi ought to do this, You ought not to do it, is not every question of knowledge set at rest? If the use of the word be admissible at all, it ought to be banished from the vocabulary of morals. Bentham's Deontology, i. 31, 32. It is claimed by Mr. Spencer's ablest American advocate that the moral sense is not ultimate, but derivative, and that it has been built up out of slowly organized experiences of pleasure or pain.

r above, said, You need not have wasted that arrow, the fall would have killed him. And we shall certainly succeed. Here we are outvoted; here we are fanatics; and here we are persecuted. But persecution is only want of faith. When a man does not believe what he says he does, he persecutes the man who contradicts him; when he does believe it, he sits quiet. But all the great thinkers, all the broad minds of Europe, are on our side. Just now two names occur to me, Stuart Mill and Herbert Spencer,--perhaps two of the largest brains in Europe, two of the profoundest thinkers, and yet from their works I could cull sentence after sentence that would indorse every sentiment you would hear in a twelve-month from this pulpit, organized as I have sketched it. The thinkers and the doers, the men that stand close to the popular heart, and the men sitting still and calm in the Academy, agree.
