ROASTING THE PRISONER.

Europeans say that our language is the
most difficult of all known tongues to mas
ter not even the Russ being an exception.
True or not, some of our adopted citizens
are slow to speak it fiuently and correctly.
"A humorous illustration of tie folly of
placing in an important public position any
one ignorant of the ordinary Specification
of well known English words, is happily
told in the subjoned anecdote:
The immense popular reprint given to
the sketch of Sheriff Ruth, of GAINESVILLE.
ohio, opening court, prompt us 20 relate
ms experience in wrestling with the writ
OF feri facias. Shortly after his induction
in'o ONCE Judge Wood, of Morgan county,
Oh the oench, motion was made to con-
iirm the sale of certain lands made by the
sheriff. Looking over the papers. which
were evidently incomplete, Judge Wood
inquired whether the sale had been made
upon fieri facias or upon an alias writ.
Col. Bull of counsel, responded that the
sale had been made on a Il, IA.
Inc writ is not with the papers," re-
Piled Judge Wood. "Mr. Sheriff will Won

the Judge, 'twhat particular difference If

MR.. DICKSON'S BUMP.

We had d lecture on phrenclogy in Mus.
ser's Hall a few nights ago, from a travel
ing professor of that science, and part of it
was quite entertaining. He had on the
stand several plaster heads mapped out in
town lots, and after he explained what
they meant, he invited persons in the au-
dience to come UP and let him feel their
bumps and explain their characters Sev-
eral times he hit it pretty accurately, and ex-
cited a considerable amount of applause;
but after awhile old Dickson stepped up for
examination. He is an absent-minded
man, and he wears a wig. While dressing
himself before coming to the lecture, he
had placed his wig on the bureau and &C
cidentally tossed his plug of tobacco into
it. When he put the wig on, it was Just
like him not to notice the plug, and SO,
when he mounted the platform he had a
lump just over his bump of combatativeness
as big as half hens egg. The professor
fingered about awhile over Dickson's head,
and then said:
"We have here a somewhat remark able
skull. The perceptive faculties strongly
developed; reflective faculties quite good;
ideality large; reverence so great as to be
unusual, and benevolence very prominent.
Secrehveness is small, and the subject,
therefore, is a man of candor and frank
ness; he communicates what he knows
freely. We have also," said the pro-
fessor, still plowing his fingers through
Dickson's hair, responsiveness not
large; the subject ia not a grasping,
avaricious man, he gives liberally, he-he
he, Why,it can't bc1 Yes. Why, what
in the! Munifcent Moses that's the most
awful development of combatativeness
1 ever heard of Are you prize-fghter,
sir 7"
"Prize-fghter ~ exclaimed Dickson.
"Why, what do you meani"
~Never been soldier, or pirate, or
anything like that 7"
"You certainly must be crazy" said
Dickson.

images, and rows. and plugging people on

ture. The way your heads built qualities
you, should say, in a special manner, as
knocker-down and dragger-out. If you
want to fulfil your mission you will devote
the remainder of your life to battering-up
your fellow man and keeping yourself in
one interminable and eternal muss. You've
got the awfullest fighting bump that ever
decorated human skull. It's phenome-
nal. Whatll you take for your head when
you die7 Gentlemen, this man is liable at any
moment to commence raging around this
community like wildcat, banging you
with club OF anything that comes handy.
1t isn't safe for him to be at large"
Then Dickson put his hand up to feel the
bump and he noticed the tobacco. He
pulled off his wig, and ther, was the plug
sticking just behind his left ear. Then the
professor, looking at it moment in confu-
sion, said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we will now
the lecture is-that is, have no more.
Boy, turn out those lights p
Then the audience laughed, and Dick
son put on his wig, and the professor
started to catch the late train.
The science OF phrenology is not as popu-
lar in our town as it was, and Dickson still
remains peaceable. Mar Adeler.
