PHYSIOGNOMY-

Popularity, this means the art of reading char
acter by the means of its signs in the face, al
original sense. There are many people who be-
lieve heartily in PhysiognOmy who do not I'M
dersiand and therefore do not appreciate in full
the claims Of Phrenolosy. In fact, there are few
very correct impressions from the general APP
pearance of persons they meet. To all such, the
large AMI complete work called New Physiog-
nomy,'' by samuel 4. Wells, will be specially
interesting. This work contains nearly so pages,
with more than Thousand portraits. including
the widest possible range, from the best and most
grades Of humanity. The whole ground Of
character reading il covered fully, including the
general principles of PhysiognOmy, together
with pictures and illustrations OF the general

sions on the chin, and what 1t Indicates; OF the

guage, color and character; the cheeks and COM
pieAion; the forehead, the hair; the jaws anu
teeth; neck and care; the hands and feet; and II
most interesting chapter 10 devoted to the ''Signs
OF character il the action, walk and voice.
The physognomy ofthe insane. and the exercises
in expression are both Interesting and important.
The ys.OgnOmy OF different classes is illustrate
ell by groups OF portraits OF eminent divines,
pugiiists, warriors, surgeons, inventors states
men, actors, poets. etc. chapter OF special
interest TO many is that of lOye-sgns in the lips,
chin, and eyes. II the suggestion given here
We're needed, many disappOintments in life
might be avoided. Comparative Physiognomy
is also well illustrated. The book concludes
with an extended chapter on Character Reading,
containing portrait, of many men of the day,
with brief sketches of character, as indicated in
their physiognomies, together with few words
biographical concerning each.

The election laws of the United States,
which provide for the appointment of
Federal Supervisors of Elections and
Deputy Marshals to act at elections held
under the National Constitution, were
enacted for the purpose of protecting
every citizen in his right to vote, and to
ensure the purity of the ballot box. This
has been clearly demonstrated by the
wholesome dread with which the execu.
ton of these laws has inspired repeaters
and ballot-box suffers, and other tres
passers upon the rights of honest voters.
The prospect of trial by United States
court is not cheerful to these worthless,
for conviction is apt to follow arrest, as
has been shown in some recent cases in
Baltimore. In word these laws have
proved what all laws should be, terror
to evil-doers, wherever it has been pos
sibie to secure an impartial jury for their
trial. The strenuous effort of the Dem
ocratic party, as represented in Congress,
for the repeal of these laws, together
with the act known as the "jury law
under which jurors may be required in
certain circumstances to make oath that
they have never taken part in insurrec-
ton or in resistance to the laws of the
United States. The demand for repeal is
based on the alleged unconstitutionality
Of the Election laws; and in the case Of
Senator Bsyard and other honest believ-
ers in the extreme estate Rights" theory
of our government this is 20 doubt the
true basis of their action. In other cases
the anxiety to be rid of the obnoxious
laws is prompted by less worthy motives.
The freedom of elections" that is wanted
is freedom from q restraint that has ma
terially interfered with dishonest meth
DDS of securing success at the polls. The
fair-minded voter is asked to watch
the party vote On this measure. "By
their fruits ye shall know them"-and
by the acts of the Democratic Congress
it is perfectly fair to judge the party at
large.

A bill is now before the Legislature
amending the laws so as to give the law,
yers right to designate in what news'
papers sheriff sales shall be published, in
cases in which they are attorneys. The
law is correct in principle, although we
believe there are few sheriffs who would
deliberately resist the wish of the lawyer
and client interested, to vent spite on q
newspaper. This has been settled in the
Supreme Court of Iowa and some other
States and we presume the same decision
would be given in this State.

An exchange advises those who tcill
drink liquor their whisky costs saloonists
but 50 by the gallon, whereas drinkers,
paying 10 cents for a dram, must pay
$3.50 for gallon. Each should there
fore lend his wife 81 for the purchase of
a gallon, 60 to her for every drink he
takes, and pay the 10 cents for it. When
the gallon has been thus exhausted she
could pay him back the borrowed money
and have left 81 for another gallon and
$3.50 for some other use.
