A LECTURE ON JOURNALISM.
Mr. Henry Wattersor Administers Sharp Re-
huke to His Brethren Ct the Rural Press

Mr.. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville
Indiana Editorial Association 81 regret
that my engagement will not permit me to
attend the convention of Indiana editors to
which you invite me. 1t would afford me
hardly less pleasure to visit the beautiful
city of Madison than to meet body of pro-
fessional neghbors and friends, to whom
am indebted for so many acts of kindness
and courtesy. Conscious of my lack Of
power to speak adequately of the Journals
tic calling, whose shortcomings have for
long time interested me, should neverthe-
less be glad to urge its numerous and gross
abuses upon such of my comrades as might
care to listen to me; its coarse and reckless
personalism; it's senseless jabber of spuri-
GUS wit its general want
of truthfulness and responsibility. It
is SO easy to handy epl,lets, to squib and
fib; so hard to investigate patiently, and
condense in five lines of pith five hours of
labor. do not pretend that journalists are
worse than other men, but being more con-
spicuous, they should be more clreumspect,
more thoughtful, more dutifnl. The habit
Of disjointed thinking is producing a crop
of irresponsible writing which lowers the
tone, ablidges the influence, and impairs
the usefulness of the press, so that the cur
rent newspaper seems to me to be equally
narrow and fragmentaly, wanting not a
certain vigor indeed, but elevated and gen
enerally prompting. The journalism of the
period is thus almost destitute Of Self-re-
spect,. and until it gains its lost moral ni.
ture-at tse expense perhaps of its vivacity
its tendency must be downward. I beg
your pardon for speaking SO bluntly, but
observant members Of the profession to
which all Of us are bound for life can hard
ly fail to share with me sense of shame in
the confession along with spirit Of hope
that the future may have better things in
stole for us. Such convocations as that to
which you invite me, and to which this
note is addressed, are wisely ordered, and
will surely in the end, do much to advance
journalism and establish sound principles
of editorial conduct.

General of Canada viii before long expire,

his probable successor. No appointment,
we think, would give such general pleasure
to the Canadian public as that Of the Mar
quls of Lorne, whose name has been men
toned on several occasions in connection
with the office. Although highly demo-
cratic in their views, Canadians are strictly
loyal to the royal family of England, and

Hair as an Index Ct Temperament.

AS long (says the author of the " Hair
Markets of Europe y as girls will wear as
much false hair as that naturally belonging
to them, it will be puerile to attempt to
read the character or disposition in the
fashion or character of the locks displayed;
but viewed naturally, the hair is as great
an index of temperament and disposition
as the features.
Mr. Greer in his volume on hair, for in
stance quotes the following Indications OF
character, founded upon the color and tex
ture of flowing lecks. from book recently
published in Paris, entitled. "Secrets of
Beauty" "Coarse black hair, dark skin
signify great power Of character, with q
tendency to sensuality. Fine black Lair
and dark skin indicate strength along with
purity and goodness. Stiff, straight black
hair and beard indicate "a coarse, strong
rigid, straightforward character. Fine
dark brown hair indicates the combination
Of exquisite senslbilty with great strength
of character. Flat, clipging, straight hair,
melancholy bat extremely constant char
acter. Coarse, red hair, indicates powerful
animal passions, together with cores
ponding strength Of character. Auburn
hair, with flerid coantenance, denotes the
highest order OF sentiment, intensity of
feeling and purity of character, With the
highest capacity Of enjoyment or suffering.
Straight, even, smooth and glossy hair de-
notes strength, harmony and eveness Of
character, hearty affections, clear head,
aud superior talents. Fine, silky. supple
hair, is a mark OF delicate and sensitive
Temperament, and speaks in favor of tie
mind and character. White hair denotes q
Emphatic and indolent constitution"
And we may add that, besides ali these
qualities, there are chemical properties re-
siding in the coloring matter which un-
douhtedly have some effect upon the dis
position. Thus, red haired people. are no.
torieusly passionate. Now. red hair is
proved by analysis to contain Il large amount
Of sulphvr, while very black hair is coioled
with almost pure carbon. The prese nee
of these matters i'll the blood. points to
peculiarities of temperament and feeling
Which are a1nest universally associated
with them. The very way in which the
hair flows is strongly indicative of the rul-
ing passions and incllnations, and perhaps
o clever person could give shrewd guess
at the manner Of a man OF woman's dispo-
sition BY ouly seeing the back of her hair.

?raphss Predictions.
Correspondence New York Times.


Prophets are going about casting the
horoscope of the empires. At Manchester
this week the Rev. M. Baxter expounded
and interpreted the prophesies in the books
of Daniel and Zaeharial. The 14th chap
ter of Zachariah refers, he said, to the COM
ing of Christ, who will shortly appear
bodily ON the Mount of Olivet, and COM
mence his thousand years reign upon earth.
Antichrist would be man like Jerome Ma
poleon, who on promises of peace, willrise
up from nobody intoa great king, the
monarch referred to in Daniel H., SO. The
abomnation of this rule will cnly last
three years and half. In that time he
will conquer the world, and make a seven
years covenant with the Jews. When
half that period is at an end, the great
Antiehrist is to surround Jerusalem, and
then will ensue the battle of Aranageddon,
and it will take seven months to clear away
the mountain Of dead bodies that will be
heaped up in the conflict. Armageddon+
will be the Sedan of Antichrise. Tt is

will be Antichrist. The young prines at
Chiselhurst is tocome 20 the French throne
under ultramontane influences, and he will
restore the Napoleonic dynasty. Out of
the present war, and a coming war between
France and Germany, will arise the ten.
kingdoms which formed Caesar Augustus
Roman empire. 1t is then that the great
Antichrist will appear-the little horn
the sovereign Of some little state either in
Turkey or Syria. If Cardinal Lucien Bo-
naparte becomes the next Pope (Which Rev.
Mr.. Baxter believes is settled, that event
will hasten and bring to pass tho iametll-
ate development Of these prophecies. They
will certainly be realized within the next
few years, as Christ is almost due, when
one hundred and iorty four thousand Chris
tians will be- translated, and there will be
more conversions to the truth 10 one gener-
alton than have been made in six thousand
years.

And sent sight across the bay.

Smote sadly as a passing bell, .1

At morn and eve returns the tide::'

Archives Of the Southern cocfa54racy.

Special Washington Dispatch to Chicago Times
In his report to Congress Secretary Me
Crary will include review Of the condl.
tion Of the work of compiling the archives
of the Southern ConFederacy. Six thou,
sand dollars were appropriated last winter
for the pay Of clerks engaged in this work
The object of the compilation and classifi-
cation is to have the archives published as
public documents. The work of preparing
them is about half completed. 1t is in
charge of Adjutant- General Townsend. In
1866 General Townsend set out from
Washington to Charleston, and from there
suggested to Secretary Stanton the neces-
sity and importance of collecting all the
the rebel documents for future record and
preservation. Secretary Stanton author
lied General Townsend to make the col
lections in his department, and instructed
General Halleck, at Richmond, at the same
time to gather all that he could at that
place. The result was that great mass
Of material has been forwarded to Wash
lngton for safe keeping. At first work
was begun upon the documents to classify
them for historical uses only. Afterward
the work of classifying them was intrusted
to General Townsend, who has had charge
Of the work ever since. He has not dis
carded any of the papers, but has merely
classified them. The manner Of procedure
at present is to print all the documents
examined for the convenience of the exam
liner, who can handle and classify them
much better in proof slips. He then pastes
them together according to their classical
tion. They will be sent into Congress in
this shape, where it will depend upon that
body TO what extent they will be published
for the public benefit. These archives are
of the same use to the Government in
detecting fraudulent claims us are the
Union archives against Northern claimants.
General Townsend says that the rebel
archives captured furnished the testimony
that was absolutely necessary to secure the
Alabama award, namely, that the Alabama
was fitted out by British merchants. It
was also shown by these same records that
the vessel was manned by English sailors.
In this one case alone millions of dollars
were saved to this government. Numerous
applications have been made by the South
ern States to have these records restored
to them, but thus far the government has
refused to give them up.

A FEAT IN BRIDGE BUILDING. The old
wooden bridge on the line of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, spanning the Sus quehanna
River above Harrisburg, is being trans
formed into wrought-iron bridge, with
out interfering with the use of the structure
by the hundreds of heavy trains that pass
over it every day. The bridge is nearly
three quarters of mile long, and its re-
construction requires thirty-six hundred
, tons of iron. Fourteen of the twenty
three spans are already in place, and, al
though the manufacture of the iron was not
commenced till after the first of June, the
entire work will be completed by the goth
of November, which is ten days less than
required by the terms of the contract. The
iron is being rolled at the Edgemo or Iron
Works, near Wilmington, Delaware, and
the construction is by the Delaware Bridge
Company. Each of the iron spans is placed
in position outside of the old one by means
of derrick travelling on a narrow-gange
track. When the iron span is thus COM
pleted the old track is transferred to the
new work, and the old span removed piece
