The St. Joseph Herald has a numerous
correspondent who is likely to rival Ar
temus Ward. Here is one of his latest :
A lady advertised to give chronological
charts, for the low rate OF fifty cents.
Borrowing this amount from the keeper
of the drawbridge, I soon found No. ~
Pacific House. and soon learned all about
the cover Of a T. Pot. The lady was moi
only q Phrenologist. but a Spiritualist.
A knowledge Of phrenology now pos.
sesses the hearts Of men and women, and
no moon is consulted save the honey
moon, no changes looked for. no quarter
asked. 1t will be seen that I am a firm
believer in phrenology..
I visited Mrs. Oliver. She was all my
fancy painted her. I inquired about the
health of Mr.. Oliver and the young Oil
yers in esss, ct in posse. She was agreea-
bic, and I was ditto. She asked me my
name. l replied that I was Of German
extraction. Ny name had the misfortune
to be Mynheer Yacob Johannes Vanslip-
ndivelcoovinslashinb She
smiled satisfaction, and took me for a
Count. I am some on a count--l can
generally take care Of number one. She
ran her fingers through my auburn locks,
and o, 70 gods and little fishes! Such
a delightful thrill! ! / believe in phrenol.
ogy She gently manipulated my Uranium
to ascertain where the big organs were To-
Gated. Finally she began:
Sir, you have great Eventually and
Individuality, Causality and Comparison.
You must be a proficient in Ancient His
tory-perfectly conversant with Jack the
Giant Killer, Charlotte Temple, Thaddeus
of Warsaw, and other celebrated historical
works. Tune is tremendous. You must
be cap,ivated by the sound Of q dinner
bell. Time is well developed. You are
fast. With a stop-watch you can tell the
difference between q four minute trotter
and o 2:l7 Dexter. Great accomplish.
ment. You also possess, In an eminen.
degree, the organ styled the Balance oil
Power. This fits you for tending q saw
mill, or laboring in the kitchen. You can
carry away slabs from the mill, and keep
both ends up from che ground, and watch
the saw in its gregarious flights and rips
through the noble monarchs Of the forest.
As a cook in the kitchen, you could keep
one eye on the boiling pot while the other
was looking up the chimney for squalls
giving you terrible advantage over the
ordinary run Of people. Veneration is Q
pile. You bow considerable to God and
man-will make 10 very good and useful
citizen on the border. Benevolence il
very large-may some day ft you fol
POST Master of this city, or the position Of
s~on-in-law to the Post-0fiee. Large
brain-wonderful development Of the cor.
pora o~liparia and the eerporia restiformia'
You must DO blessed with feelings. Self
Esteem is very defcient-you think more
of others Especially females) than you
do of yourself. Very bad trait, and
often leads to difficulty. Try to
improve this organ by rubbing the top OF
your head against the bulletin board o.
the St. 10. Unicn. Weight and Size are
we'll developed. You weigh l6 ounces to
the pound and are IL inches to the foot
remarkable development. I find your
tumica araehnoidea very thin-may catch
cold. Amativeness, you lack very much.
Do try, for the sake Of the cause l am en-.
gagged in, to improve your God given
faculties in this particular. Philoprogen-
itiveness is we'll out in the world, bu,
bless your dear little heart, this organ can
never attain to exaltation without a more
complete development of the organ las,
touched upon. Concentratiyeness is ex.
cellent. Your thoughts, like clouds,
come and 20 with great regularity. Great
power /! Adhesiveness is very large. You
are one Of those very rare young men.
"Who will lean 70 the nearest and love-
lest thing
You can .wine with yourself, ind call
closely your own"
Oh this is q delicious organ, young man.
1t is this which inspired the poet to glow
as follows: :
1.-THE heart that loves truly, love, never
forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close,
And the sun.Hower turns to her God o.
he sets,
The same look that she turned when he
rose"
Combativeness and Destructiveness are
both large. You can look your adver.
sary in the eye, and literally chew him up.
This, too, is q necessary organ in the
West-sometimes called a family organ.
I find that you have a very excellent head
quite level-vsry little Of the bull.head
or the sucker visible in its conformation.
60 on, my young friend. Bo kind to
travelling p~hrenologists Of the softer sex ;
be yirtuous and you will be happy.
With q labial salutation, we parted
after I had left her my card, on which
