PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS.


Henry Jumpertz, recently convicted in
Chicago, ILL.,, Of the murder of his mistress.
the woman whose remains were sent in Il
barrel to New York, has had his head ex-
amined by two different professors Of phren
ology, who say that the head of Jumpertz is
one of the best developed, in every respect
ever examined The intellectual greatly
predominates over the animal part. The
organ of benevolence has the sway over all
others, being three times as large as the organ
of destructiveness. The probabilities Of Il
man committing murder with such q fine
ly developed head may be as one in million;
but he thinks it utterly impossible. DIR. Bar.
ras says:
"On Monday the 10Th inst. went into the
prison ut Chicago to examine the heads of the
criminals there confined. l found them all
to have inferior chronological organizations,
and belonging to the lowest orders of human
beings, with hut one or two EXCEPTIONS
Henry Jumpertz's organization was one Of
the most striking exceptions that ever saw;
and was never more surprised and dlsap-
pointed than was when saw him! ! could
hardly believe that he was the man convicted
Ol Hlufuer. lie is TdlicT suidli hdH, dbh
would weigh about l20 or lbs pounds, and
looks very much like Prince Albert and was
he walking the streets Of London might easily
be mistaken for that distinguished parsonage.
Though his intellect is much larger and
his forehead towers much higher, his hair
is fine and dark or black; his eyes are dark
and bright, he has fine nervous temper
ament, fair skin and fine features, in short is
really handsome, (25 years Of age")

MISCELLANEOUS READING.
DRINKING AMONG YOUNG MEN

The Philadelphia Sun says truly that in
discriminate drinking among our young men
eventually makes its mark upon the popula
ton Of our cities. We can see it already be-
traying itself in the rising generation. 1t is
impossible for any man to drink even pure
liquors six or seven times day without sut-
fering severely in constitution. And when
he transmits this impaired constitution to his
son, who in turn impairs it still further by
the same course, it requires little foresight to
see that we are preparing a population for
our cities that will not, in physical frame, be
much better than the wretched Aztecs. This
love of drink and bar rooms is every day in
creasng. Every day sees our youth becom-
ing more and more the victims of this habit,
for we really think it is more habit than Il
passion. 1t is no love ofjoviality that tempts
them, except in Il few cases. 1t is not the
hot exuberance of the youth. 1t is not the
eyanescent impulse of the gay young fellow
who is sowing his wild oats. 1t is as has
been said, cold, deliberate, confirmed habit.
No at mosphere of recklessness surrounds
the drinking groups, except on occasions;
and no peals OF merriment atone for the act
by proving that it is at least unusual. A
grim and melancholy air pervades each coun-
tenance. The drinks are poured out, the
glasses are touched with loathsome air of
action, and each man swallows his portion
with the same impassiye countenance he
would wear if he were drinking glass OF
plain water All the concomitants that par
tally redeem or excuse drinking, rs far as it
can be redeemed or excused, are wanting in
this sad and formal ceremony.
