Traupmnnn, the Murderer, Examined by
phrenOiOgists.
[From the Pan Mall Gazette, Nov. 1871

[From the Pail Mall Gazette, Nov. Is.
IL may interest the disciples OF Gall and Spurz-
helm 10 learn that TrauDmann, the assassin u al
mode IN Paris has been subjected 10 the scrutiny OF
M. Berger, French professor OF phrenologY. The
results OF his Investigations are al least startling,
ana To the unintiated might appear contradictory.
The most highly developed organ or Traupmannis
head is the love or children. With the memory OF
his recent exploits fresh In ones mind tlis an
nouncement Is calculated to take one by surprise,
but the learned professor explains that an ABNORMAL
development OF the bumps OF comDativeness secre-
tiveness and acquisitveness enables an otherwise
benevo ent person to overcome his philanthroplc
tendencies. Inc well-known NJ Desbarolles has also
been admitted TO examine the hands OF the Pantln
murderer, but his report Is less favorable. In the
lines OF the palm he reads the sign OF many ev pas
slons and traces general resemblance between his
fingers and those OF the notorious Dumollard, who
was executed q lew years ago Tor having murdered
sixteen glrls III seven years.

History Of the Eighteen Papai Assembling ges-
The "Leadng" London Press and Its
0pinion-Hierarchicnl Travel Through the
City-The Infallibiity Question.
LONDON. Nov. l5 1869.
In my last letter finished as you may remem-
ber the slight history sketch OF the eighteen gene.
raj councils which have been held In the Catholic
Church, commencing with the first Council OF Nice
which began Its sittnps In the year A. d. 325 and
ending with the Council OF Trent, which began in
A. d. 1545. This brings me down to the prospects
OF the Council about to be held In Rome, OF which
nothing can be known positively respecting It's
workings or decisions, nasmuch as 1t is yet a mat
ter entirely OF the future. But still believe that
what win be brought before the assembly is in some
respects pretty correctly surmised at in any
regards topic OF interest among Catholics, and
that s the question OF the personal lnfallibity OF
the Pope when speaking what we should term on
caly or, as the Catholic Church cal It, er cdede,u
upon all matters OF faith
And hrst let us observe that In ali matters
respecting Rome, Roman matters, the Council
al Rome. and all kindred subjects, let Amer.
leans take one rule and that is never to believe
single word OF what they read either in the Times
OF London or any other English papers The
British press is treating the subject OF the General
Council exactly as 1t treated that Of the American
war IL VIII Hut allow tuOrc HUst concerned In the
matter to have the ruling OF their own affairs For
instance the London Times Of this morning mas a
leader the subject which utterly false IN its
premises as II is illogical In its inerences on the
subject Of the General Council. The writer frst
attempts to prove that what he is pleased 10 call
the bishops OF the Latin race will outnumber the
German or Teutonic element, and that therefore
Whatever Rome ana the Papa court have already
decided upon with respect to the personal infalll-
bhty OF the Pope viii be agreed upon at once
even without discussion. OF course his object
Is 10 condemn the action OF the General Council be-
fore that Council shall have even commenced TO
work, just az IN American questions the same paper
so often predetermined that measures would be
taken or that battles would be fought condemning
them beforehand very much to its own satisfac
ton.
Now, here In London we see a great many persons
passing through this great Babylon OF bricksr on
their way TO various parts OF the world ana among
others not few Catholics from the East az well as
the West have been during the last month or two
passengers to Rome 10y way OF London. Having
taken the subject In hand, and being anxious 10
master IL throughout, nave made IL my busness 10
question every bishop, priest layman have come
across on the subject Among many men there are,
OF course many opinions, but the final result OF the

THE New MEMPHIS THEATER.-
Mayo's Cadet Ia PsTLe last night was q
gem. This is one of his best characters,
and one ia which be appears to much
advantage. The house vas well filed,
and in~terspersed with some of the most
beautiful brides and bellies of the city.
The characters were generally well Gus
tanned, snd the audience delighted.
Mayo ia certainly an actor Of no common
merit. His chief fault is in giving too
often and too much the sepulchral and
monotOnOus tone. HIS reading is in the
main distinct, emphatic and excellent,
though sometimes a little too prUtrscted
and deliberate 10 It's paHses. All in all,
however, he falls not very far behind
Forrest or Booth. The play tonight is
B}OW for Btof0.
THE CONCERT To-NIGHT.-A splendid
programme is announced for the concert
at the GreenlaW Opera House tonight,
and ali who contemplate attending can
anticipate a rich musical treat. The
nsIce on the programme comprise the
best talent OF our City, apd the selections
reflect credit on Prof. BaDRtSky. The
programme is published in full In ouI

new organ Cor St. Patrlek's Church will
be fully displayed ct the concert. We
anticipate a full house.

that he was ready to pay it. The eager

refreshing.
After Jhis interesting ceremony was

remarks, showing the advantages that

stating that Louisville and Cincinnati
had taken additional stock for this pur-
pose, and expressing the hope that Mem

Mr.. ThHrston will remain in the city
