| Election. An eyebrow greatly elevated, on
the contrary, indicates less discernment and
the absence of severe thought. The lower

exercise of authority, especially when it
takes the form of forbidding.
The forehead-when the lower portion of
| the head predominates, we fnd-perception
| in the ascendant, and there is curiosity
a desire to see love of travel; a taste for
natural sciences the ability to describe. to
learn languages, to teach, and to become
| learned in matters of fact.
| When the middle portion of the forehead
is fullest, there will be memory of events,
power of analysis, criticism, ability to CLASH
fly, reason by analogy, detect defects and ex-
ceIlencies, and adapt ones self to the various
phases of life.
If the upper portion be largest, there will
be more thoughtfulness and less observation,
more philosophy and less science; more of
the abstract and metaphysical than of the
definite and practical.
If the outer portions of the upper forehead
be most developed, it indicates wit or mirth-
fulness in connection with causality.
The action of the muscular tibres which,
passing down from the middle of the fore
head, are inserted near the root of the. nose,
elevates the inner extremities of the brows,
causing, when strong, short horizontal wrin-
kles in the center of the forehood, and indi-
Gates active Observation-Disclosures transla-
ted into deeds.
A short thick neck indicates abundant vi
tality and great tenacity of life.

A female scool teacher, in her advertise

said caustic old bachelor, "she can't ask

When Daniel Webster was a young man,
about commencing the study of law, he was
advised not to enter the legal profession, for it
was already crowded. His reply was,
"There is room enough at the top'
Now, papa, tell me what is humbug. ~
''It is" replied papa, when mamma pretends
to be very fond ofme, and puts no buttons
on my shirt till reminded of it a dozen
times"
The fancies of the insane are sometimes
very ridiculous. That of a deranged soldier
out West is in point. He imagines that he
has been paying his addresses to a young
lady who reciprocates his passion, and that
lately the young lady offering to kiss him,
he refused the salute because previous kiss
ing on his and her part had raised Jumps on
the end of his nose" Don't tell the girls
that kissing is a token of insanity.

The Convention.

The Rutherford Star contains a notice of
a Union meeting to be held in Rutherfortlton.
to appoint delegates to the Convention to
be held here on Thursday next. That paper
says:
1--WE say then let this Convention meet.
let the delegates nominate a true and tried
Union man and let the platform upon which
he runs be, first, " a full and complete resto-
ration Of the Union, at the earliest dag prac-
ticabte, on the best terms can get. Second,
the aohite population as q basis Of representa-
ton ia both branches Of the General Assena6zy''
Third, q currency Of some kind for the people.
Let a candidate for Governor take the track
on this platform, and the people win rally to
him as one man, and when he shall be elect
ed, let him do all he can for the carrying out
of these principles, not as is often the case
with candidates for office, promise many
good things while they are candidates but
when elected forget all their promises.

NV ORprR OF Church MINISTER'S THE
Church of England, under the pressure Of
AN increased demand for ministers, has
formed what may be termed new order
of ministers. called "readers." They are
to be publicly appointed after an cxami-
nation by bishop, but not to be set apart
by the imposition of hands, as in the case
of bishops, priests, and deacons. They
are to minister in outlying districts, but
will not have authority to administer the
holy communion-thatp part of thc church
service being taken on stated days by the
parochial clergy. The "rcaders' are not
to be addressed as "rcvcrends," but they
are to wear the surplice in their minis
tratiOns.

THE LATEST PARIS FAsHioSs.-Wc have
not one particle Of respect for any woman
in creation who, with reconciliation, puts
on and wears a fitting skirt.
We have suddenly heard that about two
thirds of the fair population of all creation
wear fitting hoops. Shrinking in dismay
from the threatened consequences Of the
declaration, we creep, like guilty thing,
back to our desk, and swallow that base
coinage of our affected virtue. Done at
midnight, August 1914, A. D. 1866
Petersburg lRder.
The above is the first paragraph we have
published on the subject of fitting hoops.
We know of nothing more unreasonable
than for men, who themselves always dress
immodestly Gf there be any force in
their objections to the fitting hoops), to
find fault with any style of dress worn by
ladies. No dress can be unbccoming which
refined women generally wear. If 1t were
usual for them to wear the same costume
as men, it could not be considered i'm
modest for them to do so; and how much
more unbccoming our brooches would be
than fitting hoops, any one can imagine.
