HANNIBAL JOURNAL AND WESTERN UNION.
(COntinued.)
In fact, the entire social and political organi-
cation of this peopeoand empire is dependent
upon the sciences of Phrenology and Animal
Magnetism. BY the first, all the processes Of
education among all classes are conducted, and
every individual is with the greatest certainty
appropriated, by parental and governmental au-
.tborty, tn that st9tiq.@Gor which his phreRolog-
zeal developments declare him to be best fitted.
This regulation in law extends even to the high

degree obriatngo the necessity oof post office
system for the communication, of public and pri

by its meanS the government is at once informed
of all transactions in the various parts Of the
Empire. For these purposes there are at the
different cities, towns and villages where lit is
deemed important, respective s:s..i6ns or col
leges, which areoin connection with the General
College here, by which system is formed, CO..
extensive with the Empgror's dominioris, not dis
similar to the post Office systems Of other coun-
tries We will Visit the College here to-mor-
row, and then ydil' will be fully satisfied that
o Animal Magnetism which you have heretofore
derided, is worthy OF the fullest belief and the
most perfect admiration. 90 -
