Women's Named Annabella is not Anna-bells, or Fair An- na, but is the feminine of Hannibal, mean- ing gift (or grace) of Bel. Arabella is not Ambella, or beautiful altar, but Umbillia, a pray' woman. In its Anglicizcd form of Orabe , it was very much more common in the thirteenth century than at present. Maurice has nothing to do with Mauritius, or a Moor, but comes from amalricâ€"Iu‘mmel- m‘châ€"the kingdom of heaven. Ellen is the feminine of Alain,Alan, or Allen, and has no possible connection with Hellcn, which comes from a different language and is older by about a thousand years at least.

It is the sister of Louisa, and both are the daughters of He- loise, which is Holewis, hidden wisdom. There is, indeed, another form of Louise, or rather Louise, which is the feminine of Louis, but was scarcely heard of before the sixteenth century. The older Heloise form of the name Aloisa, Aloisia, or Aloyeia, was adopted into medimval English, as Alesia, â€"a name which our old genealogists always confuse with Alice. Emily and Amelia. are different forms of one name. Emily is from rEmylia, the name of an Etruscan gem. Amelia comes from the Gothic amidâ€"heav- cnly.

Adeline, are all forms of one name, the root of which is addâ€"noble. But Anne was never used as identical with Annie, or Agnes (of which lost the old Scotch Anuns is a varict ), nor, as I sturdi- ly maintain, was Eliza eth ever synony- mous with Isabel. Marriage in Cuba. A correspondent at Havana sends the fol- lowing to an exchange: Readers who have or have not been wooed and won, even in spite of the difficulties that of ten attend that exciting period of the lives of young men and women in this country, will thank for- tune that nothing more than an irate father or meddleeomc mother or an empty pocket- book etcod in the way of matrimonial bliss. During dinner one day I was observing, while talking, a. scene that was taking place near the gates of an opposite house, and I will describe it, as it illustrates well the habits of the people in love affairs. A well- drcssed young man was speaking from the outside with a pretty young lady who was standing at one of the cornerspf the Window. The lover was in such a. position that the ersons who were in the parlor of the young sdy’s house could not see him. Sometimes it happened that one of them approached the Window; she then ave notice to the young man, and he woul immediatelystart and stop at the corner of the black and stay there watching. As soon as the risk was over he would come slowly to his post, in order to continue his interrupted conversa- tion. What a troublesome way of courting n lady ! The notice 1 gave to the others of what was going on afforded mc much infor- mation as to the method of courtship. Sometimes this sort of thing is going on at each window of the one-story houses, and not unfrequently two in each may besccn. This generally occurs when the suitor is not admitted to the house on account of not having an introduction or when the parents of the girl disapprove the acquaintance of their daughter with the suitor. The method however, is generally condemned and avoided even by the young men, who fear to depreciate the character of the the object of their affections. If they cannot visit them they take advantage of all opportuni- ties of seeing them in public places, at a church or theatre or possibly at the house of a common friend. The chief resource used is a correspondence, in which the servants, and sometimes the friends of the young lady, not as mediators. Some of these love. letters are very funny ; Tho love-stricken heroes put the powers of the pen to the nt- most ; they exhaust their erudition and ~in- dulgc in hyperboles, metaphors, and smiles to an alarming extent, in order to show the vehemcnce of theirpnssion and makc the most impossible promises. The following is copy of one written, evidently by a student, which strikes one as an amusing burlesque, but which undoubtedly was intended to ex- press it great deal : " Miss : Your beautiful image had scarce- ly struck the retina of my eye, by means of a convergent ray, when my cave vcna was filled with hot blood, as if 1 had tasted the nectar of the gods or the heavenly umbrosia," etc. Endearments of this kind are frequent and are often kept up for years, and even then do not end in marriage. it is not uncom- mon for the lover to disappoint his enamorado under frivolous prctexts, on account of nat- tural inconstancy or for a more golden pros- pect, for the wealth] of the young lady is the leading requisite. It is said, in justice to the fair sex, that they are very seldom incunstant, scarcely evcr dismissing a lover except for very ,powcrful reasons. Cubans generall ' marry rather late in lifeâ€"the men when a out thirty and .tlic women when about twenty-five. This is rather singular, considering the influence of the climate. The reason for it is a hard one to find, and no satisfactory one has ever been given. It is rather sin for that one of the rules res- pecting marriage is the same in Cuba as in many parts of the United States, particul- arly in New York. The bridegroom and bride start from the church where the cere~ many is performed on a trip into the coun- try, where they stay for a week or two. Then they return to the city and give notice of the marriage to their friends, who immed- iately go to greet them. The greatest pos- sible secrecy, is, however, observed in the performance of the ceremony, which take: place at the time the churches arc‘ em ty or leave is obtained from the his mp to be married at the lady's residence. The laws of the church forbid marriages with persons of different religious beliefs or among near relatives. The latter prohibi~ tion is, however, easily surmounted by pay- ing the bishop a sum, the amount of which increases in proportion to the intimacy of tho kindred. For legitimate marriages the consent of the Luther's is necessary ; if these be dead, that of the mothers must be aecnr~ ed. Lastly, that of the paternal or mater- nal grandfather, of the tutor, and in default of those persons, of the judge, provided the age of the individuals to be married be over a certain limit, will be sufficient. Clergy» men and nuns are not allowed to marry, but widowera. even with children, are allowed to become clergymen.

The an- nouncement of the paper-bad drawn together an unusually large attendance, as it was ex- pected that the marshaling of thcfactsinProf. linxley’e hands would have great interest in ractically substantiating the theory of are ution, which, though foreshadowed by others, took practical shape in the work of Darwin twentycne years ago. Prof. Huxley said : There is evidence, the value of which has not been disputed, and which in my judgment amounts to proof, that between the commencement of the tertiary epoch and the present time the grop of the equida: has been represented by a series of forms, of which the oldest is that which departs least from the general type of structure of the higher mammolia, while the latest is that which most widely differs from that type. In fact, the earliest known equine animal possesses four complete sub-equal digits on the fore foot, three on the hind foot; the ulna is complete and distinct from the rod- ius ; the fibula is complete and distinct from the tibia; there are forty-four teeth, the full number of canines being present, and the cheek-teeth having short crowns with simple patterns and earl uformcd roots. The latest, on the other ban , has only on: com- plete digit on each foot, the rest being repre- sented y rudiments; the ulna is reduced and partially encyloscd with the radius ; the fibula is still more reduced and partially eu- cylosed with the tibia ; the canine teeth are partially or completely suppressed in the fe- males ; the first cheek-teeth usually remain undeveloped, and when they appear are very small; the other check-teeth have long crowns, with highly complicated patterns and late-formed roots. The equidze of inter- mediate ages exhibit intermediate charac- ters. \Vith respect to the interpretation of these facts two hypotheses, and only two, appear to be imaginable. The one assumes that these successive forms of equine ani- mals have come into existence independently of one another. The other assumes that they are the result of the gradual, modifica- tion undergone by the successive members of a continuous line of ancestry. As I am not aware that any zoologist maintains the first hypotheses, I do not feel called upon to dis- cussit. The adoption of the second, how- ever, is equivalent to the acceptance of the doctrine of evolution so far as horses are concerned, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, I shall suppose that if: is ac- cepted. Since the commencement of the eoceue epoch, the animals which constitute the family of tbc cquidze have undergone processes of modification of three kinds : I. There has been an excess of development of one part of the oldest form over another; 2. Certain ports have undergone complete or partial suppression ; 3. Ports originally dis- tinct have coalesced. Employing the term “law” simply in the sense of a. general statement of facts ascertained by observation, I shall speak of these three processes by which the eoiiippus form has passed into equus, as the expression of a three-fold law of evolution. It is of profound interest to remark that this law, or generalized state- ment of the nature of the ancestral evolution of the horse, is precisely the same as that which formulates the process of individual development in animals generally, from the period at which the broad characters of the grou to which an animal belongs are dis- cerni lc onward. After a mammalian em- bryo, for example, has taken on its general mammalian characters, its further progress toward its special form is affected by the ex- cessive growth of one part or relation to on- other, by the arrest or suppression of parts ulrcady formed, and by the coalescence of parts primarily distinct. This coincidence of the laws of ancestral and individual dc- velopmcnt creates a strong confidence in the general validity of the former, and a belief that we may safely employ it in reasoning deductivcly from the known to the unknown. The astronomer who has determined three places of a new planet calculates its place at an epoch, however remote; and, if the law of evolution is to be depended upon, the zoologist who known a certain length of the course of that evolution in any given case may with equal justice reason backward to the earlier but unknown stages. Applying this method to the case of the horse, I do not see that there is any reason to doubt that the cocene equidm Were receded by meta- zoic forms, which differed) from coliippus in the same way as oohippus differs from cquns. And thus we are ultimately led cenceivo of a first form of the equine series, which, if the law is of general validity, must need have been provided with five sub-equal dig~ its on each plantigrudc foot, with complete, sub-equal antcbrachiol and crurol bones, with clnviclce, and with, as at present, four- ty-four teeth, the cheek-teeth having short crowns and simple-ridgedortubcrculoted pat- terns. Moreover,sinco Marsh’s investigations have shown that the older forms of any giv- en mammalian group have less developed cerebral hemispheres than the later, there is a prime. fucie probability that this prim- ordial hippold had a low form of brain. Further, since the existing horse has a dif- fuse allnntoic placentstion, the primary form could not have presented a higher, and may have possessed a lower, condition of the various modes by which the fetus derives nourishment from the parent. Such an animal as this, however, would find no place in any of our systems of classification of the mammolin, It would come nearest to the lemuroidea and the insectivora, thoriin tlic non-prehcnsilo pes would separate it from the former not the placentation from the latter group. A natural classification ii one which associates to other all those forms which are closely a! ied and separates them from the rest. But, whether in the ordinary sense of the word “ alliance " or in its purely morphological sense, it is impossible to im- agine a group of animals more closely allied than our primordial hippoids arc with their descendants. Yet, according to existing arrangements, the ancestors would have to be placed in one order of the class of mem- malia and their descendants in another. It may be suggested that it might be as well to wait until the primordial hippoid is discover- ed before discussing the difficulties which will be created by its appearance. But the truth is that that problem is already pressing in another shape. Numerous " lemurs,” with marked ungulatc charscteri, are being discoverer] in the older territories of the United States and elsewhere; and no one can study the more ancient mammals with which we are already acquainted withont being constantly struck with the insectiver- one characters which they present. In fact, there is nothing in the detention of either prlnistzs, carnivores, or nngulatee, which is any means of deciding whether a given fossil skeleton, with skull, teeth, and limbs, almost complete, ought to be ranged with the lemurs, the inacctirorea, the carnivores, or the ungnlatee, In whatever order of mammals a suflicieutly long series of form: has come to light. they illustrate the three-- fold law of evolution as clearly, though. perhaps, not so strikingly, as the equine series does. Carnivorea, artiodactyla, and riosodactylea all tend, sswc trace them ark through the tertiary o h, toward lea: modified forms, which wil fit into none of the recognizm orders, but come closer to the inacctivora than to any other. It would, however, be most inconvenient and min- leading to term there primordial forms themselves meteor lea: specialised mainla- tions of the same common type, and only, in partial and limited sense, representatives of that type. The root of the matter appears to me to be that the leontogicai facts which have come to lig t inthecourse of the last ten or fifteen years have completely broken down existing taxonomicel comer pholcgical resemblances and difi'ercnces of animals. then all such resemblances must have a taxonomic value. But they fall under three heads : First, those of adult in- dividuals; second, those of successive stages of embryologiml development or individual evolution; third, those of suscessive stages of the evolution of the species or ancestral evolution. An arrangement is "natural,”‘ that is, logically justigable, exactly in so far as it expresses the relations of likenesses and unlikeness enumerated under these heads. Hence, in attempting to classify the mam- malia, we must take into account not only their adult and embryogenetic characters, but their morphological relations, in so far as the several forms represent different stages of evolution. And thus, just as the persistent antagonism of Cuvier and his school to the essence of Limark'e teachings (imperfect and objectionable as these often were in their accidents) turns out tohave been a reactionary mistake, so Cuvier's no less definite repudiation of Bonnct's ccfielle at the present day, the existence of a aeola animarm'um, is necessary consequence of the doctrine of evolution, and its establishment constitutes, I believe, the foundation of scientific taxonomy. Many years ago, in my lectures at the royal college of surgeons, I particularly insisted on the central posi- tion of tlie insectivoru among the higher mnmniulia ; and further study of this order and of the rodentia has only strengthened my conviction that any one who is acquaint- ed uith the range of variation of structure in those groups possesses the key to every peculiarity which is met with in the pri- mates, the carnivore. und the unguluta. Given the common plan of the insectivom and of the rodentin, and granting that the modifications of the structure of the limbs, of the brain, and of the alimentary and re- produclive viscera which occur among them may exist and accumulate elsewhere, and the deviation of all eutheria from animals which, except for their diffuse placentation, would be insectivorce, is a simple deduction from tho ‘lnw ofcvolution. I venture to express a confident expectation that inves- tigation into the ninmmnlin fauna of the mesozoic epoch will, sooner or latter, fill up these blanks. Prof. Huxley proceeded to give details on which his conclusions were based, and dwelt on the fact that much further careful work is needed to clear up problems before us. eâ€"<-pâ€".*_ Wages and Cost of Living in China ii‘rmn the Sun Francisco BuilctinJ There have been many books written on China, from the time of Abbe Huc to the present. But most of them have been too general to present any precise idea of the actual social conditions in that vast empire. Recent official observation has, however, done much to clear away the mists which obscure real life. Most of the trades which we have are carried on in the Central Flowery land. There are there the tradi- tional “butcher, baker, and candle-stick maker.” But there is apoculiarity which is not found in civilization. The artist obtains no higher rewards than the ordinary crafts- man. There appears to be a. dead level for all who work with hand or finger. A mos- tcr workman in any of the trades in China get: $3 per week, or $156 per unnum. But the wor men only get half that remcnera- tion; $1.50 per week, or $78 per annum, is the average rate, and it is not; every work- man who can obtain it. Youngsters or wo- men get 50 cents per week, or $26 per auuum. It will be observed that these are the wages paid in the higher walks of art and mechanics. There is only one class of operatives who are more handsomely re- warded. Gold and silversmiths do a little better, The silk roeler or spinner some- times gota from $1 to $2 per day, because the silk has to be reeled off the cocoons in a given time, and, a3 a consequence, the work has to be prosecuted day and night. Consul Denny, at Shanghai, thus figures out the expenses, per annum, of living in connec- tion with the compensation specified : For a Master. For food, $72 Forrent,&c.................................. 36 For clothing................ l‘.’ ’l‘otal................... . ’5120 For a \Vorkmnn. For food, For 12 Forciothing.. S The some authority odds : “ The master generally lives at the workshop, where he has, perhaps, two rooms, besides a place to cook in. The household furniture may be estimated at from $20 to $30. The ordinary workman, if married, will share a small house with a friend, and occupy one room, and have access to the kitchen. He may live with his parents, in which case his earnings go to the common fund. Under such circumstances, $10 to $15 will cover the value of the household furniture." We have no form of Chinese life in California, exce t in very rare cases, which corres- on a to that which is here portrayed. here are only a few Chinese families in this city. Nearly all the Chinese are male adults without any family ties or connec- iions, at least in this country. But we get a glimpse of that peculiar state of things in China also. Consul Denny further says that if the Chiunmaman is “ a bachelor, and away from his family, he will either sleep at his employer’s for a consideration, or- stay with a friend ; in either case his whole inventory consists of a box with his clothes and his bedding." This is a complete portrait of the Chrnaman in California. He is got up in light marching order. But the common labourer, whether in field or kitchen, does not get anything like the wages of the skilled artisan. The farm labourer, during harvest time, gets, besides his meals-worth about 10 centsâ€"from l0 cents to fifteen cents a day. or from 70centa to $1.05 a week. He can be hired by the month for from $1.50 to $2. If he gets per- manent employment ho is willing to accrpt $12 per annum, with board and lodging. If he works for shorter terms, 50 cents a month will suffice for house rent, and 52 r annnm will keep his wardrobe in repair. at there is a grade below these free la- bourers knownas coolies, who are often glad to work for five cents a day. «”»â€"â€"â€"-â€"v Awards has made considerable progress since the French landed there fiftyyears ago.
