cere men, as Of vital Importance. We
cannot fail to recognize violations Of faith,
wrongs and outrages which have raised
the indignation Of the public. But the
most effectual method of eradicating an
evil is to remove the cause-to destroy
the source whence ii flows. What, then,
is the source of these wrongs! TO what
are we to ascribe the repeal of the Mlssou-
ri compromise? Where shall we fix the
responsibility of the outrages of the Pierce

HEADS AND HATs--At recent meeting OF
the New York Academy of Medicine, DIR. McEl-
heran gave a lecture on Ethnology, which is re-
ported in the American Medical Monthly. BY
means Of monumental illustration, col ectlons of
crana, statutes and coins, he traced the Celtic
type back through Italy, Greece, Asia Minor,
and Egypt, and asserted that the Americans
were OF Celtic and not of Anglo-Saxon origin
which he pretended 10 prove by their history Of
emigration, their language their conformation,
&c. He gave statistics furnished by several of
the leading hatters, dentists, and hair-dealers of
New York and other cities. One halter of New
York, who sends to all parts of the Union, re-
quired larger hats than the other States New
England heads are of about the same size as
those OF the New Workers. The Irish heads are
larger than those of any race in this country.
The Celtic head is long oval. as is observed
among the Irish aud Scotch. The English head
is also long, but not so uniformly oval as the
Irish. The average American head is long
oval exactly the same shape, but smaller than
the Irish. 1t Is the most easily fitted, because it
is the most regular formed, and because the hat
blocks are made to suit the national form and
size The Germans have smaller heads than
the Irish but they wear larger hats than the
Americans. They have very irregular formed
heads, approaching in shape an irregular square
broad and fiat behind and fiat on top The
great breadth between the ears throws the hat
out Of shape, SO that the brim is turned up in
front and behind, unless the hat is especially
made to fit. Several old manufacturers and re-
taiers assert that the American head isdminish-
ing, aud that the Western States, colonized by
foreigners, have the lar est sizes.
