Selling Ones Head.

The celebrated linguist, Cardinal
Mezzofanti, was 80 generous in aims
giving that he did not leave money
enough to bury him. His generosity
even persuaded him to sell his head to
adorn phrenologist's cabinet.
Mezzofanti's fame as a linguist had
long been known to a certain professor
of phrenology, who thought that the
Cardinals head would ,vividly illustrate
the organs of language. Accordingly.
he called on the man who knew some
thing of all the languages of the earth,
and after little delicate circumlocu-
ton, asked him what sum he would
take for his skull, after his death.
The Cardinal, having no faith in
phrenology, dismissed the man rather
roughly. Just then a woman came to
beg for money. He had not cent, but
his heart was touched. Calling back
the phrenologist, he said:
"On second thoughts l am inclined
to treat with you for my skull, but it
will be dear. l am not sure that there
is such another in the world"
The bargain was made and Mezzo-
fanti gave the money to the woman.
But after several months, the Cardinal,
getting tired of carrying on his shoul-
ders head belonging TO another per-
son, bought it back.

lady's face becomes every day paler aud thin

gained so firm a foothold in her system, that
the most thorough and ofttimes a long and
tedious, course of treatment is necessary to
restore her to health. Ladies', attend to your
health before you even think Of apparel. A

Aggregate number of desertions from the
United States army for the fiscal year ending

Notwithstanding the improvement apparent
from this statement, the fact remains that the
crime of desertion is still alarmingly preva-
lent and an evil Of no ordinary magnitude.
The increase of our force in the vicinity of
the Rio GraHde and the vigorous policy which
for sometime has been pursued in dealing
with marauders invading our soil from Mex
leo, have produced the result predicted in my
report of one year ago. Although the people
OF Texas have not been exempt from these
incursions during the year, and several of
them have been attended by heartrending
atrocities, yet they have been fewer in mum
Der than during any year for a long period, and
within the past four months almost perfect
quiet has prevailed A considerable Mexican
force has been sent to the vicinity of the bor-
der to operate against the bands of Indians
infesting that region, and the avowed purpose
OF the Mexican Government is to put stop
to raids upon oF people and territory.

The reports Of the Quartermaster-Ge General

well as those of the General of the army and
the department and division commanders, all
concur in showing that the army has been
well and economically subsisted and clothed,
while the character of the rank and file has
been materially improved. Great care has
been exercised in the selection of recruits, and,
as one of the gratifying results, the number Of
desertions has been considerably reduced the
