the earth, and was the worlds won,

of his calmness may have been due

But those fair hues of sunny
cbeerfulness caught their color from
the simplicity of his faith and
never was there a Christians victory

than in that last scene, lighted with

OF the principal people ia town, as, Tor ex-
ample, Dr. Brown has large, dubious, blue

a shade too thin I; Captain Price fetches

Brains.

ssOther things being equal, size Is an H.
edication OF power" is a chronological
motto. This contradicts the old saw,
.Lttle head, little wit; big head, not a oil"
Oftentimes the saw is more to be relied on
than phrenology, for it is now known that
mental power depends much less upon the
mass than upon the quality OF the brain.
A little head may contain brain with many
deep convolutions, and o great deal OF gray
matter, while big head may hold q vast
ilabby brain as destitute Of intellectual
force as tub OF soap fat. But, in general,
the very greatest men have large brains.
Cuvier, Webster and Napoleon are well
known examples. 1t is stated that Fisk's
brain weighed ffty-eight ounces; Websters
only ffty-three and O half; Cuvier's sixty
four and half; Professor Abercrombie's
sixty-three, and Ruloh7s, The murderer h'ly
nine ounces. The late DR.. Horner, Proles-
sor OF Anatomy in the University OF Penn
sylvania, had an enormous head. The
weight OF his brain was never ascertained
We are little curious to know how the
exact weight OF Flsk's brain was deter
mined. Was there poSt-nor'em or was
the top of his head sawed OF merely to
crafty morbid curiosity? The weight OF
bis heart is also given. Science is little
too prying il it exacts as the penalty OF
greatness, whether in rascality, war or poll.

Reporting Run Mad.

Accustomed to not less dellcacy in journal
ism than in private conversation, what
would the staid citizens OF Charleston think
il they should wake up some morning and
find the local columns OF The NEWS filed
with description Of the horses belonging
to the most respectable ladies and gentle.
men in town? What if this should be fol-
lowed on another morning by a description
of the COWS of these same citizens? And
what if these descriptions should be any
thing but complimentary Yet this is what
they are doing in the Northwest.
The local reporter OF the indianapolis
Ersning Journal chronicles the age, com
plexion and general appearance OF the horses
in his town in the following unique style:
"Captsin Ed. Howe drives bay horse

John F. Hill drives an abundantly bowelled
horse named Prince. DR.. Newcomer drives
a gray horse of great age and experience, and
his giDger-colored dog brings up the rear.
The doctors animal Is called fiery steed, be-
cause he can only be started by building

E. T. Fletcher has two pioneer bays, both born
on the Donation. He limbers them up With
embrocalions of fsh.worm oil. One OF them
is suspected Of stump-sucking."
The description Of the COWS owned by
private individuals in Indianapolis given by
this same reporter is not SO absurd as Inc
