San FaABI?!*?(-(?, Dec. SW.?Tin- croikrrs .ire be?
ginning to predict a di v *.vint t. They uny tba frost
lies too ln-avily on the hills In the morning for a
good season. There was tn excesaive ramfnll at the
outlet of the season. Imt since then, althotich Ore?
gon and ihe northern part af this State have been
ricing'd ns usunl. Hie ranaluder el California lins
been of ten in noc-d of moisture. A dry winter to the
California ranchman means more than a dry sum?
mer to the Eastern farmer. It nie ans in nitie rases
ont of ten the virtual failure of bia main crop
wheat?as well m the ruin of the feed on which
stock depends for subsistence. It means debt and
foreclosed mortgages for the improvident, hurd
times for tin- ferehmnleri fnnner. dull tr ide for the
merchant, and geneial depression throughout the
State, lt may be that :x dry year, with all ifs evil
ooiiM-ciuenres. is not in store, lint the s:.gns certainly
poiut that -Tay.
The mania for hop-growing, which I mentioned
recently, M ems to be increasing. If one-half those
who have declared their intention of planting hop
yard s really set about it, there will be no lack of
hops on this coast for the next generation. Thc
main trouble is that it takes fnllvthree years to en?
sure a good crop; by that time hops may fall to a
pric* which will barely p.iy for their culture and
'picking. But tbe eau .mine ranchman seeeaa firm in
the faith that the present "boom" will endure for
years.
The di.siiiiil outlook for the larmer has no influence
ou this city. Never was the town livelier than it
bus been this winter. The Nilsson excitement has
been Minuted by a Ken. ral dramatic revival. Five
tbeatiea are now open, and all seem to be doing ?*,
paying business. Two play? are aaUBuaaed specially
to Christmas audiences?the "Mased Qaaaa ? at the
California, aud " Youth " at thc Grand Opera lions-*.
Both are put ou the staee in uuiisueUy tine st vic,
and as i-peetacles surpass anything that has been
seen here for years. " My .-*nn-iii-Law " is played at
tho Baldwin by the Leonard C rover Comedy Com?

Emerson's is devoted to the burnt-cork brethren,

EVOLUTION?REVOLUTION.
MB. BEECHER AT TUE COOPER INSTITUTE.
A LECTURB I* TUB REGULAR AJINUAL FREB COUB3B
OF THE UMd.V.
The Rev. Henry Ward Doeoher last evening de?
livered* lecture in the regular annual free course
of the Cooper Institute iu the largo hall of the
Union, lils subject was " Evolution aud Revolu?
tion.*' Long before the hour for the beginning of
thc discourse?8 o'olock?the hall was comfortably
filled. At 7:'Jj, although the room was by no
iiieuiis asorowdod as it is frequently permitted to
be at political meetings, the police declared tho hall
full, closed tl:*) doors and refused to .dinit auy
moro people. A largo uuuiber stood outside till after
."?elO and theu went away in despair. Mr.
Needier treated the subject of evolution In much
tho flame way as ho has done before, and was
listened to with great attention by tbe largo audi?
ence. Ile .spoke for one hour without referring to any
notes. He waa frequently interrupted by laughter
and applause.
THE LECTURE.
The subject that I am to speak on to-night
ls Evolution. Theie ls often, and often Justly, a
prejudice against a man attempting to lecturo upon
aclenee who has not devoted his whole streugth to lt,
nnd iclentitlc men are very apt to regard them with the
sams species of benevolent contempt with which moral
teachers regard scientific men when they undertake to
iItaw moral Inferences from sch-utltlc facts. Men whose
bualucaa lt ls topi-op'tir ite iiieirul Ideas have ono stand?
point i men whose business lt ls to find nut simple
scleutiflo facts have another, and If I were tonight to
discus* illflercnt retainlpn(nts of faot I should
feel myself moonabie to crttlelsm. I propose nothing of
this kind.
A great ehange has taken place within the last thlrtv
year* -a greater eiiainre pr ibah'y than ever to .k pince
lu any former period of?well, I may say 300 consecutive
years. It has buen quite a revolution, but lt has be?
come ao general, und so effects the underlying thought
and feeling of the community, that 1 think one should
gt.-i< lt nero Hum it mere passing ot teni lon. Ami,es?
pecially, ss I am In profound sympathy with the general
tendencies of sclenllLo Investigation, and as lt
is roy business pn.frs louully to ledan
from all truth some application that shall better human
life, swell i. limn ni .o-'p'.aiilon*, encourage* m-n to|do
good and to do wbat ls right, I hope I may pius un?
seat bed thc erlttcl.m If I undertake to show tbat tuc revo?
lutionary tendencies* of the doctrine of Kvulution are
inure lu aeembig than In fact, aud, though extremely
radical, aro i iidlc.il lu the rlitht direct lon, and are of the
right kind..allie doctrine of 1.volution has Itself gone
through ev ulm lon. It wa* li.Iiita.il at loug
ugo, but disappeared and came up agalu
und again, each time occupying more space and
cd icing more and more probabilities, until at last. In
one dsy, lt has assumed a form so definite, wltii roots so
deep, that lt surely lute come to stay. What ls Evolu?
tion! As ceiitradlstlogulsiied from tbe old notion of
creation by the instantaneous obedience of matter to the
Idvliic command, lt I* the teaching of the HU hie mribo 1
ai a ic allon ti* gradual, and a* the result ot stead lly-aet
Ing natural laws through long pei iuds of Hine -periods
so b.og that uot even the Imagination can stretch
to the leorderlan 1 of their far off liori/ou. We have been
brought up 1 arirely to found our notions of creutlon upon
the poetic expressions of Sacred .-"crlpturo. The com?
mand, "(rod sall ' Let there be light, und there was
light,' " li suhllmo poetry. We ull felt M If Uod esme to
thc. fore front on the creating dux ami said, "Lal lhere
'??a bglit," aud instantly there wrns light. Ibis ls
rho alinost-unH anally prevalent Impression. Hut
it bas now beeu ntifiSBtly demon*
atrated. as I think, to enter easily into the belief of linn.

of tbe perfume, though not by thst method. The kind
of evidence that ls applied to the Investigation of physi?
cal facts is not, la my Judgment, the kind of evldenoe to
be employed for the Investigation of facts that are nol
physical. You cannot undertake to apply to tbe most
subtle aud exquisite emotions of a cultivated soul the
same tests which you would apply to the body.
HOW OOD 18 KNOWN.
I can messnre bow high a person is 11 can measure thoii
features lu the face i I oan give the color of the eye j I
can give the complexion i I can give some account ol
everything that the ear, the eye, the smell, the hand,
can describe; but I cannot, by any of those measures,
enter Into tbe exquisite alchemy of taste and imagina?
tion an.I beauty and love that ore within the souL They
are not measurable by the tests by which you
measure bodily qualities. Men tay toms: "You can't
prove the exlstenoe of Ood. You can prove the existence,"
they say, " of all facts within the realm of adelice." Yes,
but Uod ls a spirit?Invisible, intangible?and the pro?
cesses by which these Inferior truths can he demonstrated
cannot, lu tbe nat ure of things, be applied to lr, Ood ts
a spirit and they wuo approach Ulm must
approach linn by the spirit?that is, by
imagination and the higher reason, and not
by tue senses, ile has never been seeu : and o' all the
testimonies of tbe Word none 1* mon* explicit than that
Ood canuot be seen or unaersU-o- by tho physical tests
by which matter is mljiidieate.l. Is there any other
method of approach I Yea, there is oue scientific ave?
nue. What li thal I That is bv hypothesis. What ls h
hypothesis I A good one la a glorious guess. [Laughter.]
A hypothesis ls a statement tbat ls made aud
awHtts proof i and if it ls found to answer all conditions
of proof, If all ulfflcultlcs can he solved by li, then lt be?
comes a theory, aud ts regarded and used as proved
matter. The hypothesis1 of tho existence of Ood leads a
mau through fewer dillletiltles ami solves ineire e-ues
tious than atheism ever did or ever could I not that lt
ls absolutely proved yet, In the scientific sense of the
term, but li goes farther lu that dnectiou thau auy other
form of acleutielo proof.
Hut the htguesi proof of tho existence of Ood ls moral
Intuition. No proeef at all to hardly developed men; they
have no moral Intuition. No proof at ail to mea who
stuud ou tho middle plulu ; they have no moral Intuition.
Hui lhere ure coudltious of urain In magnitude, and lu
quuliiy aud lu hucueaa, In which the brain ls luminous,
aud secs thc unseeable aud k.iows the uukuowublu. A
thousand men m.i jr g.. pist a ina{iilllc?ni picture it. id yet
think tuere ls nothing lu tho uoior. Oas artist comes
past aud lt blazes with suppressed color to him. Tken
nieii turu aud say to timi: "Well, prove the
color. We are as good as you are. We dou't csu it."
"Oon't you wlsu you dbl. Ii ls there, and I ace ami
thrill with the feeling of it. If you aay you dou't, that
merely characterize* whore you stand." Now, lt ls
given to hlg.ily organized moral mi tin.-a to have a Sense,
