PRESIDENT LINcoLa.
His b cad is large, but not Uery large.
IL 10 aboye the average. Considerably full
E-a Koud degree of power. but not one o.
The gFesse$s of men. Ills head measures
% inches. Il Is comparatively harrow at
Abe base, but large and full at tho top. In
tellect is in gool proporti"n, but The moral
js the strongest power. He is one OF the
most honest leaders we have bad. He i
not warrior, and therefore out of bis place
as Commander in-Chief of the Army and
NAVY. His brain has not base enough. he
js too timid--wants more destructIveness
and conbatiyeness. In pace. he would be
an admirable president. He is good one
now, but is not bold enough--is not fight
er enough, and consequently cannot inspire
others to fight. With qualities like Andrew
Jackson he would have ended the war be-
fore now. A good and wiso man, but too
tinid for such an emergency to-
narrow TO le,d a nation to battle-to en-
force law at the point of the sword and
mouth of the cannon.
DEN. SCOTT
has large head and large body. If he
had been 30 years younger very different
results would have followed. He has pow
or enough but is too old. das strong,
commanding physical organization. large
bram-large at the base and large in elect.
He has also courage enough. don't be-
lieye he ever got scared in his life. He L.
the greatest warrior We have had since
Washington. We have pone bis equal as
he was in his best days.
BANKS
Ss more of statesman than general. He
is a well fortified man has the best kind
Of education and discipline; few hold all
their power in hand rs well IA he; few have
that power to control others He is
good man to select and appolnt-to choose
the hest circumstances. He will never he

safe, but not powerful warrior. There is
hardly enough Of fight In him. His head
measures about twenty-three inches II
has great solidity in proportion to size.
He is rightly called the ''iron mans
powerful la proportion to his size. He is
well deSeloped in intellect, has cool judy
lnent, and is high in the crown Of the head.
He has great perseverance-iS a Jackson In
Williams immense will power.
He has also great moral power. He L.
not tricky; is honest; motives are good.
and is thoroughly loyal. HE is not selfish
as some suppose. He hes great prudence
and selfconirol; is very discreet, and Won
delfuIly eelf-po>se$sed. He is the greatest
man of his sized bra,n that We have. Sew

is not SO able as Banks. He is full eau
tious erough; ! would like 20 see more dar
ing and inspiration.
BURNSIDE
has large bra and is able as a general.
but has not quite caution enough. He has
talent enough for Major General, ami
could handle 100000 men successfully,
but lacks caution. He has not sufficiently
large selfesteem. but is little too much
like his mother. who must have been a no
be woman, but exceedingly generous and
bender. Ii he was more bloodthilsty and
cool it would be better. THAT is, speak.
ing Internationally and fnr the wary He
has noble bead and is fully loyal.
SToNEWALL JACKSON

He believes be is righ'. He is wei deve'-
oped IN, rally has a great intellect, and
gFeat originality. He is boil, courageous,

FREMONT
has lsrge brain about % inchss-welI
developed in the top--raher strong in the
base, but not too much so. He has very
intense temperament, which gives him
great ,igor. He il whole souled in every

months from noS. But he viii only revo-

revolutionary work. lie is Thoroughly
loyal. and can be trusted. He is different
from Banks or Burnside. He is more in
