A Test for PhrenOlOgy.

SCIENTIFIC tests are now all the rage,
and are applied to locomotive boiler as
well as to a plo wman's prayer; | there
fore venture to lay before you test of
phrenology, which believe to be both
novel and scientific. Its infallibility rest
on the fact that the brain of man, as well
as his body gives off more heat when in a
state of activity than when in state OF
rest and that this surplus heat can, and
has been, measured in both instances py
means of tie thermo-electric multiplier.
The ndodls operandi is as follows: you get
subject, or patient, or what is better
person who is willing to be both, and set
| him to read novel, or to do some light
work, such as shelling peas, etc., which
requires no thought or exercise OF brain
power. You then apply delicate ther-
mo-electric pile (which is connected with
| a multiplier) to one or more OF his bumps
Ghaving previously seen that there is no
local inflammation of the parts). You
then carefully note the degree of heat
shown on the multiplier in each instance
(say of the bumps of imitation and con,
structiveness). This being done, you sci
the subject to copy drawing or some
writing, and again apply the electric pile
to the bump of imitation. Now if the in
strument shows an excess of heat abev'
that noticed in the first instance, or ever
if it shows any excess of heat, in the par
ticular spot known as the bump of imita
ton, above that of the surrounding
bumps; think, sir, that we may conclud
that phrenology is not altogether farce
and that the bump in question is the sea
: of the greatest activity in the brain durin
the action of imitation. We can ais
3 try the bumps of constructiyeness and an
i atfveness by setting the subject to writ
E a love letter or the bumps of veneratio
8 and calculation by setting him to say n
t prayers and add up a row of figures.

FORESHADOWINGS,

When the fdir mother of our race
stood on the verge of Hiddekel,
And plucked, With bent and thoughtful face,
Ihe six-rayed stars of asphodel,
Did any prescient fancy burn
upon the tablet of her fears,
A shape of dust-encircling urn,
Dark with those twined and hollow spears?
Ensanguined amaranth, or scent
III myrrh, or willows shivering gloom,
WIN strange Indictment may have bent
Iier thought to some dim sense of doom.
She heard at times the turtle-dove
Moan from her height; the forest throng
Lay silent, while his hopeless love
lie sang who is the lord of song.
All, sorrow 10th to wait thine hour,
Didst thou that happy bower invade,
ana through sound, or shade, or flower,
suggest the ruin thou hast made?
If sad was Eve, in lightest trace
II dropping cypress bough and cone,
Ana boding yew, obscured her face,
by shadows deeper than their own
Perchance, from mist of coming years,
"A voice, not mine, but sweeter far,
Glanced backward to her strained ears,
And, soft as sylvan murmurs are,
Breathed vaguely o er her 'wildered thought;
a wandering wind from distant seas,
Stirred her long tresses as she caught
A music set to words like these:
Take heart, o! thou diviRely fair!
Death is the root of life; and we,
Through hope from thee, ascend the stair
Ihat climbs to domes of victory.
1--WE, too, look forth, and long to know
And win some glimmering sight of things
That from a higher future throw
Their blent and faint foreshadowings
"Yet what we dimly see, we teach
But dimly. Death and conquest seem
To thee the idlest breath of speech
That whispers through morning dream.
"And since thy spirit has the gate
OF every sense thrown back so wide,
That coming ills importunate,
In shadow o'er the threshold glide,
''Let Nature still be Natures key,
For her own pain supply her balms
To bays look thou from funeral tree.
And catch the murmured laugh of palms
''Turn from one sad nocturnal lay
To notes that take their choral birth
When birds upspring to hail the day,
And grid with song the rolling earth

che Cannibals of p. II. B0rnnm may
be genuine subjects of His Majesty
King Thokambau, of the Cannibal
Islands, and, for all that is known to
the contrary, they may have been TAT
tened and nurtured on roast missionary
and sailor triccasse, varied by Il change
now and then in lhe way of II Stewed
native, ever since they were old enough
for such rations. Far be it from the
writer to express the lenst doubt that
the inimitablc Prince of Humbugs did
not ransom them from furnishing the
solid viands of feast tOa select party
of their fellow cannibals by paying
many thousand dollars for their ran
som, rs stated daily in the ring, under
solemn compact that they should be
sent back after certain time anu
when duly tattcned.up, All that is
neither here or there. But there WAS Q
singular circumstance connected with
their stay here which, in faithful MS
tory of current events, should be re-
corded. After the crowds had gone
into the circus tent on Tuesday, and
but few left in the menagerie, Two
valuable elks got entangled by some
means in the ropes by which they were
tied, and before they were discovered,
both the beasts were nearly stranglcd.
One of the cannibals happened to see
this precarious state of affairs, and rs
soon as he did, jumped up and shouted
to his comrade in the best and most
profane of English, "Bill, just look at
them elk Come and help loosen
them or they will die, sure p Bill
obeyed the summons with alacrity, and
after some more swearing in good Eng
fish, the animals were rescued. The
cannibals are genuine species, OF
course, but how the deuce did they ever
learn to speak such good and fluent
English?

Mr.. DUDLEY w. ADAMS, Master Of
the National Grange, delivered u
Fourth of July Grafton at Ottumwa, in
which he foreshadowed probable and
useful influence of the Farmers
Oranges and associations that are
springing into existence all over the
country. He devoted large portion
of his address to the social and domcs-
tic life of farmers as u class, and told
them that toll is not necessarily glori-
Gus which wears out body and soul in
the drudgery OF the farm without
lust return. He blamed the farmers
for making agriculture so disagreeabiee
ms TO drive all young men Of spirit and
enterprise into other business. He
urged greater culture, the giving of
more time to reading and study, and
the larger indulgence OF healthful
amusements. The farmers would prob
ably be just as well off as they are now
in worldly goods If they would follow
this advice, and would certainly have
n better consolation in hard times.
The Oranges are calculated to cultivate
this new spirit among the agricultural
.eommunity.-[Chicago Tribune.
