I7 OliANDFA T HER QUESTIOX. The question of "who is your mother" has given place to "what was your grandfather?" The very large audience to hear Prof. B. Waterhocse Hawkins, at Masonic Hall last night, indicates the genera interest felt in the subject, and the hearty applause given the speaker whenever he made a good point on the quadruped showed that he had the sympathy of the audience; that a good part of the people of Indianapolis have no desire to climb their genealogical tree and find a monkey sitting on the highest fork. Professor Hawkins said that while the published notice of theubject of his lecture clearly indicated his position on the question of Darwinianism, he had no idea of undertaking the task of proving a negative. Darwinianism is not a new theory. Yet it rests on no data, but is a singular and monEtrods mass of assumption; while the facts of natural history, as 6hown by him, the classification of all forms of life, similar in regard to similar offices, yet dissimilar in other features; the characteristics of each class being in the egg and not the result of culture, show diversity in creation instead of development from a common seed. A goose in Central Park i no more nor less a goose than the sacred bird of the Nile as reprt;nted in the hieroglyphics of Egypt. By the skillful use of the chalk on the blackboard the Professor illustrated the similarity of function of different animals, and how little modification was required by added forms to create a new class of animals But the climbing fish, chameleon, and monkey tribes are distinct classes notwithstanding the similarity of certain functions ; anatomical differences being much less than between man and the ape. Yet there is no record of climbing fish ascending to the beautitude of monkeyhood. By quickly drawn figures he showed that there are more parts of similarity in the dancing bear to the human form and erectnees than in any class of the monkey tribe, and the manner in which by a few additional strokes the bearwa3 transformed into a respectable-looking old woman in an arm-chair, was highly amusing. It is not our purpose to give a report of the Professor's lecturo or illustrations; but rather to draw from his facts inferences complimentary to our grandfathers, in which we doubtless have the hearty sympathy of most of our readers. For those wf the contrary part we have no special concern, and would rather make an exception of their special cases than enter into argument. Professor Hawkins will lecture to-night at Masonic Hall on the "Age of Dragons in Europe and America." LOUISIANA. Events moved rapidly yesterday in New Orleans. The first work of the House of Representatives after the organization of the Legislature was to pass articles of impeachment against Governor "VYarmoth, which were received by the Senate, which organized as a court of impeachment, Chief Justice Ludeling being sworn in as President. During the pendency of such articles Lieutenant Governor PiNcnnECK i3 the Governor of the State, and he qualified and took pos session. As the first man of his color who has been invested with such authority, it is to be hoped that his administration of it will te such as to merit the approval of all good citizens, and not to intensify the prejudice against hi race. "Wermoth is completely checkmated now in hi3 career. His case is in the hands of the State authorities one half of his own Legislature being in the legal body, and repudiating his acts. The trial of impeachment will bring out all the facts of his case, and the cause of law and constitutional order will doubtless be sustained. A Baltimore man'i convention with General Meade: "Well, General, you fought the decisive battle of the lata war. Our cause never recovered from the disaster suffered at Gettysburg." "Tee, sir, I think that Is to. Had Leb whipped me at Gettysburg the South would have triumphed. lie could then have gone to Washington, Philadelphia and New York. There was nothing to Interrupt his progress." 'General, do you know why we did not whip you at that timet" I Inquired. "No; I ehould liko to know." "Stonewall Jaoksok was not there." "You are mistaken, sis. You Southerners, I know, all think there was no such man as Jackson. Bat Lee was incomparatively his superior. He was decidedly the very first man In the Southern army." It Is doubtful if General Meade ever made the statement attributed to him. The rebels, victorious at Gettysburg, might have succeeded in getting to Baltimore; but even the remnant of Meade's army with the hordes of men who would have been rallied to them, and would have rendered an advance to Philadelphia impossible. Even if they had, the job of getting back would have been still more difficult. It took a good whilejto end the war after Gettysburg as it was, and the los3 of that battle by the rebels was a heavier loss to them than its loss would have been to the Union. The fall of Vicksburg had broken the rebel force in the Southwest, and Grant, Siieruax aud

Rosecraks still had men enough to hold things 6t iady until the new supplies could ber.ihtd. The final success of the Union aud defeat of the rebel arms was not attributable tc the chance result of one r a half dozen battles; but of strength and endur" anoe. A SHARP DISTINCTION. Warmoth's Indianapolis organ says : " Now nothing in the world is plainer than the rights and wrongs of this business. Judge Durell h is the leeal rfeut to rectify by a.l the checks and weghtsof ihe Federal judicature, the wrongs that may Lave b- en perpetrate d in the election of members of Congress, inasmuch as these ca'tk are United States stock, but other thi.n by Gattliug guns, he has no power to interfere In the disposal of the State election." The distinction is not so clear in practice as in theory. By the illegal restraint of the State Board of canvassers and the action of an illegal body, the outrage of despoiling some thousand logal voters of their right was consummated, depriving them of their choice of Congressmen. By the enforcement law the matter was made a matter in the jurisdiction of the United States District Court, and by its action the legal State Board of Canvassers were sustained ag4ast the usurpation of Governor Warmotii. But when the Board met it was a legal State body, and could pass as well on the votes for the State officers as it could on those for Congressmen. Being on the same ticket it could not separate them. The lawful recognition of the tickets in the case of Congressmen carried with it the recognition of the rest of the names on them, and in this regard the Con" gressional law is a safeguard also against local outrages, and was so intended. The law was framed with special reference to the known ballet-box stuffing in New York city, by which the vote of the State had been repeatedly frustrated. And the cure was effectual there, as it will be in Louisiana. The idea of the Sentinel, that an outrage on the voter maybe remedied in regard to members of Congress, without affecting his vote for Governor or members of the Legislature, ia a WarmoOdan distinction which will not be recognized by the courts anywhere. Tite Cincinnati Enquirer has been taken to task by a friend of Mr. Hendricks, who threatens to quit the Enquirer and take the Courier-Journal, unless tho Enquirer says a good word for IlEKDniCKS now and then. The Enquirer bids him peace, and says : 4 'If he quit3 the Enquirer upon the ground of its liberality and takes up with the Louisville Courier-Journal he will find himself w of ully deceived. That paper is remarkably liberal, and it hasn't a bit more reverence for a Democratic leader than a Kaw Indian has for a Chinese 'Joss.'"

A snoRT article in our columns, from a letter to the New York Mail, tells how Germany i3 prepared for battle, and her military take precedence in everything everywhere. While this betokens military strength, and may arouse pride in the German people, it also suggests the advantages of emmigration to America, and will lead to measures for overcoming obstacles thrown in the way of emigrants. The fact that Vice President Colfax has been offered the position of chief editor of the New York Tribune will be taken to be as high an indorsement of his ability as a nomination to any office in the State or Nation. It may also be taken as an indication that the Tribnns is about to slough off the Liberalism which was taking it into the Democratic party. Senator Schtjrz is said to have manifested signs of shame, and looks as if he feels lonesome in the malarious district between the Republican and Democratic parties. Sumner, having been abroad and abstained from American newspapers, doesn't know that anything more than usual is the matter, and is as naturally conceited as ever. s Tile Aldine for December is resplendent with winter scenery and illustrations of animal life, being of extra size and quality, in honor of the season Chrismas Holidays. The announcement for 1873 promises the pat. rons of this elegant publication a rich treat in the designs of the first artists of America. It is a matter that is worth noticing that Senator Morton, who has to be helped up the stairs of the Capitol, and Senator Browns low, who has to be carried to the Senate Chamber and recline on a sofa all the time, are the most regular attendants, and take the deepest interest in public affairs. s Parson Brownlow is credited with a good word for Ex President Johnson on the ground that the latter has reduced some of the rebel generals to the ranks, HASH.

The Baroness Burdett-Coutts has expended 250,000 in presenting to the city of London a property to be called Columbia Market. An invention to melt snow on railroads, has been contrived by a citizen of Bedford county, Virginia. The object is to melt the snow and ice on a railroad track as the train runs. This is to be effected by means f. a flamo of sufficient intensity to produce the re

The people of West Virginia complain ths t their capital, Charlestown, can not be reached or heard from once in six months. It takes four fall days to reach It from Wheeling, traveling by the most direct and speedy route. Professor Agassiz believes in "multiple centers of creation" as opposed to the Darwinian theory of evolution or transmutation, and in a recent address delivered before the National Academy of Science he denounced the latter theory as a "mire of mere assertion " The New York Commercial Advertiser 6ayf: The Boston Globe complains that Livingstone is being sacrificed for Stanley. What gives additional poignancy to this fact is the rapidly growing belief that it would have been a good thing if Stanley Lad been sacrificed for Livingstone. The longest matrimonial engagement on record is that of a couple who were married at East Lycne, Massachusetts, on Thanksgiving day. They were betrothed ia 1S17, and had been drawing out the Bweetness of the engagement 6easoj ever since. Fifty -five years of billing and cooing, of blissful anticipation and all the joys and delights of unwedded love, is more than is often vouchsafed to mortals. A singular scene was lately witnessed on tho platforms In San Francisco. A phrenologist and a penitentiary bird gave a joint entertainment. The professor of bumps illustrated his eubject by the convict's head, and the convict gave a history of his life and crime!, and added some suggestions upon prison discipline, and finally asked for contributions to send to his aged parents who were starving in England. He professed to be a genuine "Ticket of Leave Man" from Australia.

PISCICULTURE. The progress made in growing fish, arid the success which has attended the introduction of choice varieties into streams where they had not previously been known, is a source of great satisfaction to all lovers of the tinny tribe. It will be remembered that, in IS71, S.itk Green, of New York, at the instance of the State Commissioners of California, transferred from bis ponds a large number of shad to the Upper Sacramento river. It was wel! known that the fish cast into the Sacramento River in the spring would find their way to the sea in the autumn, and the question of greatest importance to be tested by this experiment wa3 whether they would again return to the river. Of course, when spawning time arrived, It was known they would seek fresh v a'.er. But would they return prior to that period? and would they ever return to the Sacramento River? were questions upon which serious doubts were entertained, the solution of which depended upon the result of this somewhat novel and harzardous experiment, for the transportation of so many live fish from New York to California, by land, was an unparalleled feat, and the effect was shrouded in mystery. The Sacramento Rerord thus chronicles the first fruits of this experiment: The fish were placed in the river, with but slight expectation of seeing any result of the eflort for three years at least, at which age they first spawn. Australia planted her waters seven consecutive years before a eiDgle 6had was caught therein; but the effort in California was destined to bear early fruit. Seth Green, who under the direction of the Commission imported the fish, offered a reward of $50 for the fli st shad caught in the river. It cow appears that the reward has been earned though not claimed. Last summer two Indians caught in their traps two species of a fish wholly new to them. They were caught in the upper Sacramento, about four miles above its confluence with Pitt River. The Indians, not a little surprised at the capture of the finny strangers, and never having met their kind before, took them to Mr. Elmore, who resides on the river at that point. Mr. Elmore, suspecting the truth, took them to the neighbor llovey, who, having resided on shad streams at the East, was competent to expert the oase, and who at once pronounced them genuine 6had. The Commissioners regard tee story of this capture as wholly reliable, and feel safe in declaring the effort to eUck the river with this valuable species of the tinny tribes as successful. Apropos of this it may be stated that the Commissioners have recently placed ten thousand trout in the South Yuba, near the head waters of the stream ; also, a number of speckled trout in the north fork of the American. Somebody claiming to be authority in the matter, has declared that an acre of water is equal to an acre of land in producing food to sustein human life, Jf this be true, fish-culture is worthy the attention it is receiving. WASH-I-KEE DEiD. From thoDcserct News. There have been rumors afloat for the past few weeks that Wosh-i-kee, the Shoshone chief had been killed in an allray with some member of his band; but until this morning, we have been unable to obtain any authentic Information as to the truth or falsity of the rumor. The following particulars, for which we are indebted to Major D. B. Huntington, the well known Indian Interpreter, of this city, will be read with regret by many of the residents of this Territory: Wash-I kee and his band, some six or seven weeks since, were camped in Wiod River Valley, near to some soldiers. They gave him several drinks of whisky. The liquor made him crazy, and like most men, whether Indians or whites, when under its influence, he lest all control of himself. There was a grudge existing between Wash-i kee and one of his men named Witch, and in his drunken fury Wash-ikee was determined to iifcht it out. Witch, however, was away at the time ; so the chief shot and killed his favorite horse and set tire to and burned up his lodge The band, seeing how matters were going, set off for the mouuthins men, women and children. In the evening Witch returned, and learning who had destroyed his property, he concealed himself near the lodge of his chief, his object being to shoot him as soon as he made his appearance. Wash i-kee didn't come from his wickiup until the next morning, neither did Witch leave his post: and as soon as the old chief came out his concealed foe shot him dead. Several members of the band, friendly to the chief, then commenced firing a Witch; but he ran and dodged among the brush, escaping their fire until they were tired out and their ammunition was spent: finally one of them broke oil a piece of an elk's horn, loaded his gun with it, and with this missile killed the slayer of Wasa-i-kee. Wash-i-Kee has been well-known by the white settlers of Utah for many years, and he has been one of their truest friends. His death will be generally regretted, for up to his death his influence was used to restrain his band from encroachments of any kind on the whites. JIp strove continually to preserve peace' and to create good will between his people and their white neighbors. He was essentially a " good Indian," but with all his better qualities, he had a weakness for fire water, and, -like many a better man, he is numbered among its victims. The conduct of the men, whoever they were, whether military or civilians, ia giving whisky to Wash-l kee, was highly reprehensible, and if we mistake not they are amenable to the law and it is to be hoped, if they can be discovered' that the punishment they bo well merit will be awarded them. The state of siege at Be jar, Spain, has been raised, all signs of disorder having disappeared.

TERRIBLE FIGHT V.TITII PIRATES. NOVEL PREPARATION OF TI! E HECK A HASP TO HAND B4TTI.E TIMELY APPEARANCE OF A r.RITISH WAR VESSEL. Th Bombay (East India) Gazette, cf Novem?er 11th suys: The Ztitnvy prints the following abstract from a K tUr of t 0'J''g Silesian, who is now sailing on boarj the Bremen bark Coriolan: On Monc' , the tb of February, 187?, at 5 o'clock is tl j Tiorning. we raised the anchor and left the Bombay bartor with a moderate breeze blowing. The pilot left us at 3 o'clock in the afternv;. Our pare over th nir-t.-n deereos which Feparate Bombay from the line lasted one and a ti.U iGOiiths, r.s for wef-ks we had the most tedkus calions. We kept always nrout one 5cgrceaw y from the coast, ard had rtacln d the te-n',h degree of latitude when one right our attention was attracked by three "d hunken." which looked somewhat su-picious. The Captain at o uce took these for pirates. As, however, there was a steady breez Mowing, we hoped to effect onrescape. Unfortunately in tho morning the wind died away, but of the three boats only one remained within sitiht, which, however, Gradually crept up to us, as we euu'd see through our glasses it wnsmovt d by long ours. It then became apparent that a tight would he unavoidable, and' our Cnpta'n made t once the necessary preparations for iv.. As we had com via Moi.te Vido to Bombay, we had no cannon, not even a pintle gun, on board, the Captain's small six-barreled revol ver being the only thing in the shape of arms we possessed. As we numbered, all hands told, only eighteen, ard each of the cnemj's boats contained about four times as ronty, "our prospects were very gloomy irilced. S3 far we we could only see one boat the other two being out of sTght. It wf.s about two o'clock in the afternoon when the first boat came within shooting distance, end kepi astern of us, evidently waiting for the two otter boats to come up. "They hart not long to wait, for tkiough the gla?s we could see tLat one was commg up in front of us, an the other from the skrboari side. The one that had kept astern now opened lire upon us, which, however, did U no harm, except that cur compass box was d uuaged and a few shots went into the rigging. PUEPAUATIOX OF THE DECK. In the meantime, the boat coming nearer and nearer, the Captain had ordered the deck to be covered with boiling tar, and while this remained liquid we had studded it with broken glass. Of course we had then to put cu boots ourselves to avoid having our feet cut. What the Captain foresaw happened, for when, after 'he first boat had come alongside, th pirates boarded the ship, crying "Allah! Allah!" and came rushing lovrards us ; they broke down, as they had .their leet lacerated by the glass. When the "Captain lacked over the sidu to see how many were in the boat, quite a number of spears went over onr heads. FIOUT WITH" AXES ASD H.ATCI1ETS. Ten of us, among whom I was, had hatchets, while the others had hand-axes. We had divided our force one half forward, the ether amid ships. In the rext moment we were right among them, and the most horrid butchery commenced. In the meantime tbe second boat had come near and p!a et itself under our bow; from the cries wc heard we knew that there also a hand-to-hand fight had commenced with xur meu. Of our division only four were left standing, and of the one fichtiag forward only six all, however, more or less dangerously wounded. I was suffering from a spear wound in tiie left shoulder. Slowly, and lighting for eve;ry inch of ground, we withdrew toward the" stern, where we made barricades of cur boats, while the Malays cut off the heads of the dead, tied them together by the hair and hung them over their shoulders. The captain was sending 6hot after shot into the crowd. X FLAG OF FREEDOM 11RISG3 JOT AND HOPE. We were well-nigh despairing, for what would become of us when the third boat would arrive? Then, when the cloud of 6tnoke was driven away by a sudden gust of wind. we were delighted to Bee a 6teamer coming up, Which a moment afterward opened fire upon the third boat, which 6unk after a few shots. The pirates jumped into the water and tried to save "themselves by 6wimmiog; but w saw that the boats from the steamer were lowered and began a chd6e after them, while the steamer itself came in full speed toward us. As soon as we saw this we picked up courage again, and, with a thundering hurrah, we threw ourselves once more upon those of the pirates who still remained on board, and cut down whoever came in our way. I then received another wound In the right arm. The 6teamer (which turned out to be an English gun boat carrying six guns) had overrun the boat lyiug under our bow, the same having been left unguarded, and then went alongside the other one, the oceupauta of. which were also mostly on board of our ship. The few that were left in charge tried to row oil with the boat, but a few well-aimed 6hots from the steamer soon dispatched them. TIIE MEN DEAD. The surgeon from the steamer attended to our wounds, as all of us, with the exception of the captain, were wounded, and ten dead among the latter the first mate. After we had rested a little we threw the dead bodies of the pirate overboard. The prisoners were all condemned by a court mar tial to be handed, and the crewot the steamer made the necessary prt-paratious to carry out the sentence. Kopcs were cttached to the yards of the steamer and the ship, t!e nooses put. around the necks of the prisoners one pull, and ten bodies were hanging high in the air! Our Captain engaged twelvo sailors from the steamer, as we were all disabled, and at about six o'clock, a breeze springing up, we left the battle spot behind us. The steamer kept near us during the first night, and left us with arms and ammunition and kindly giving up her surgeon to us. Th next morning we buried our dead viz., the fiist mate, the first carpenter, seven sailors and one boy. I remained disabled for about eight weeks, as the spear had gone clean through my shoulder. EIGHT TIEADLESS HUMAN TRUNKS. Eight of the bodies of our comrades were without heads, which some of the pirates had most likely taken, with them when they jumped overboard, However, they can hardly have got far with them, as the boats of the steamer and also some sharks followed the swimmers and finished them oft rapidly. The bodies of the pirates were horrid to look at, as most of them had their skulls broken.

A NEW PlIKASE. Until quite recently we were content to call a sudden approach of cold weather a "cold 6nap," or a "cold-spell," and we were well satisfied that these words expressed -precisely what we meant; but since the meteorological service has como prominently before the public,' journalists no longer descend to such commonplaces as those we have mentioned, albeit they are hearty and blunt Anglo-Saxon. It is naw the "polar wave." We extract the following from a cotemporary as an example of the effect of giving a new name to old things: "The late swell of the polar wave spread eastward, and its intense frigidity eaused the death Of one or two poor people last night who were without shelter in the streets." This means In plain English, "one or two poor persons were frozen to death last night in the streets." To be killed by a "cold snap" is very vulgar in comparison to being swept away by a "polar wave." A Boston Grand Jury has indicted Leavitt Alley for the murder of Abijah Ellis, whose body was found dismembered and Heating in two barrels in the Charles River. PLENTY OF WOOD. KEEP WARM.
