Tha Phrenolorieai.

We have received the chronological Journal
and Science of Health for October, and find ii I'LL
ed with material at once Hvely,v entertaining,
crisp, instructive, and seasonable. The features
which constitute this n scientific publication with
a special department are prominent, but discuss
ed in so pleasant u manner that we scarcely know
that we are learning important principles as we
read the attractive pages. First in order of con-
tents we notice a leading railroad man, Daniel l..
Harris; and next there are some very permanent
remarks on Precoclous Children, which we would
advise all doting fathers and mothers to examine
carefully. Then there is a pleasant little CONVEX
sation on the nature of brain DEVELOPMENT, which
knocks the under pinnIng out OF the common talk
we hear about "bnmps" and "bumpology.r DIR
Wines provides n second letter on Prison Reform.
A new ins!allment of Brain and Mind, entitled,
| The Phystologists and Cerebelium, appears in
this number, in the course ofwhich the writer
shows, with every appearance of candor. the mer-
its of most of the literature nowadays current
with regard to the functions of the cerebelium.
We think that Phrcnology has decidedly the adj
vantage In the contest. Mr.. Temple, In his third
installment of The American Novelist, writes
down some hard facts. A portrait is given OF
Chastine Cox, the murderer of Mrs. Hull, and q
very frank consideration OF his character as indi-
Gated by organization. Some hints are thrown
out which are suggestive of new and reasonable
views of the mental organism. Other topics of in
terest are The Woman of Italy; House-cIeaning
The Differences; The Tea Americans Drink; Sol
dler-bound. The department allotted to Cores
~pondents is rich in interesting counsel, and indeed
the whole number is worthy a careful ccnscien-
tious reading. The Journal is now published at
the low price of s2,O0a year, with o valuable book
premium worth a si,5O, and the balance ofthis
year (three months) free to subscribers. A single
number IS 20 cents, but 1t is offered to new sub
scribers ''On Trial'' three months, including Octo-
Der numbe-, for only % cents. Every reader OF
this paper should send rs cents at once and see for
themselves the peculiar merits and fascinating
nature OF this magazine. Letters should be, adj

W. W. Coles Show Coming.

The above institution comes ON Oct.
4th, preceded by most favorable mention
from the press of other places. It is cred
tied with magnificence, novelty, ele-
gance, enormous size, animals without
number, apt artists and wonderful pre-
formances. Its bills enumerate animals
of all descriptions; its parade is spoken
of as a pageant OF royal grandeur.
The greatest novelty presented, how
ever, will be the Tallest Man and Wo-
man in the World, whom statistics show
to be yeritable giants-man and wife.
| Capt. and Mrs. NJ. V. Bates each 7 feet
11%inches high; he 50, she 30 wears Of
age; combined weight one halfton. Now
for the first time on exhibition in this
country. Justfrom England, where Roy
atty presented its compliments in the
shape of watches and jewelry, as presents
from Queen Victoria. Both symmetrical
in form, fine features, and undoubtedly
great curiosities. The advertisement
goes into particulars, and allrtdes to other
descriptions to be found in the bills and
publications. All should bear in mind
the, fact OF the giants being exhibited in
the main or large tent as well as the cir
Gus and menagerie. No extra charge ia
see the giants.
The establishment is favorably known
here, but has been greatly enlarged; has
heards of camels and elephants to draw
its mammoth wagons travels two bands,
also a steam band; has a troupe of train,
ed horses, who perform altogether at one
and the same time in the ring has leap
ing horses, riding monkeys, riding goats,
performing deer; has two ponies thai
perform the See-Saw feat, has a man who
confronts a loaded cannon, it is discharg.
ed; and he chatches the bail, but with
his hands-not his body. Truly, won.
ders will never cease. Has a mammoth
circus company, travels its own railroad
cars and-but read the bills and pam
phlets, and remember the date, Saturda,

Meeting at New Paris.

The New Paris meeting OF Gov. HEN
BRICKS and Hon. john L. NEFF, last Fri
day night, was a complete success. Gov.
HENDRICKS made a most eloquent speech
of about an hour to the crowded house
and was greeted with rounds of applause.
At the close of his speech he hurried to
the train and Mr.. NEFF commenced, but
was soon interrupted by Andrew Jackson
hawley, former Representative from this
county. Mr.. NEFF asked any Republican
to name II act of the Republican party
which had been in favor of labor as
against capital, in the last ten years,
%whereupon the Hon. Andrew Jackson
hawley jumped up and asked Mr.. Neffto
name II which the Democrats had pass-
ed. The question brought an eloquent
and triumphant answer. The Democrats
had remonetized the old silver dollar,
which the Republican Congress, at the
bid OF the bond holder and capitalist, had
secretly and surreptitiously demonetized,
and compelled Secretary Sherman to coin
not less than two millions of them per
month. The Democratic Congress had
stopped the wholesale destruction Of
greenbacks provided for in the Republic
can Resumption Act, as shown by the
report of Secretary Bristow, from which
Mr.. Nef read. The Democratic party
asked that National Banks, which have
been making dividends annually OF over
nine per cent. to their stockholders, be
allowed to expire with their charters and
SO on step bystep he showed the benefi-
cient legislation and theories Of the par
ty. A more lucid and eloquent defence
of the Democratic party, as friend OF
the laboring masses, we have seldom
heard. He further showed how the par
ty which claimed to rely upon the intel
ligence and capacity OF the people for self
government appointed HOO Deputy Mar
shals and Supervisors in the city Of St.
Louis. How it appointed burglars, rob-
bers and thieves in the city of New York
to confront the citizens at the polls. How
even in Cincinnati, one of the most or:
derby cities in the United States, men of
the Eph Holland stripe were the Repub-
lican party's guardians of the ballot
boxes OF the people. Poor Andrew jack
son hawley We venture will not soon open
the door for such an answer as he receiv-
ed in New Paris. At the close of Mr..
Nef's speech Mayor ABBOTT, who was
present, was loudly called for by the au-
dience and responded in a rafting speech
of about twentyminutes, when the meet
ing broke up in jolly good humor. Quite
a large number of our citizens went from
here to attend the meeting and came
home well pleased with their visit to New
Paris.

We are authorized to announce the
name OF Perry Alexander, as a candidate
for real estate assessor, at the October
election.
October winds are signing a requiem
over departed summer. Chilling frosts
have come, blighting, blasting and black
ening earth's fairest flowers. But they
will bloom again.
A report has got into circulation that a
large number OF babies we're found in the
fair ground wells while beingcleaned out
last week. Philip Miller requests US to
say that "it is all a die" The wells
were not cleaned out until last Monday.
A figure TWO instead OF a TIIREr in the
Inspectors Report of last week, made a
difference of 81, 900 against the Treasurer
on the amount due and balance on Road
improvements. The amount due and
the balance should be the same-l3,214,-
81. al
There will be five Sundays in next Feb-
ruary. Think of SO much Sunday night
| bliss in the shortest month. But then
this won't happen again in forty years.
Let the old gentlemen remember this
and be hopeful when he lays IN the win

Philip Miller never does things by
halves. He turned out his whole Livery
for the meeting at West Alexandria last
Thursday evening, and with Frank
DEEMS double team a large delegation,
headed by the martial music, went over
from Eaton. Look out for a big report
from Twin and Lanier.
There is no difference between the man
who enters your premises at midnight
and robs you OF your money, and the mar
who takes a newspaper fora year or two
and then removes to another locality
without payingup arrearages or even in
forming the editor of his whereabouts.
If there is any difference the latter is the
greatest scoundrel OF the two.

leans Geological and Equestrian Institute

1t is a pageant worthy of the oriental
magniieence of India, with everything
beautiful in the way OF an animal, from
an elephant to a bareback rider!
The great big bear, he'll be there,
The elephant, camel and Kangaroo
The monkeys will dance, the horses

And the clown will have something

Two young men from Winchester, this

PIANO AND ORGAN TRADE.

Business Gives Great
Facilities for Purchas-

In our first experience as Financial Manager of
the Mt. Carroll Seminary, it devolved upon Us to
purchase Pianos for use of the School, in which
transaction we became cOgniZant oft he swindle,
1--WE cannot call ii by a milder nance, practiced
upon the public in the sale of~instruments. We at
once resolved to correct the wrong, so far as In
our power, and ut the same time suoserve our
own Interest in encouraging the study ofmusic,
by making 1t comparatively easy for our pupils
and patrons to secure Instruments. To this end,
we offered to furnish Pianos, etc, to our music
pupils at "CosT, 3" to US. Thus began a trade that
has become so extensive as to embrace all classes
as our customers. extending as it does from New
Hampshire to California and even TO Japan.
With the amount ofsales made, our facilities
have increased till we command any make in the
country, and the very lowest trade prices. We do
not now sell at Cost but we sell at wholesale
prices to any and all persons ever in any way con-
nected with the school, and this gives great lar
gains to purchasers, leaving n re 'sonIble margin
of profits to us. To those newer patrons of this in
s%tftntiOn, we can give discounts from manufac-
turers' lists of 80 to 50 per cent. Instruments are
all sent directly from the manufactory, hence
customers can be supplied with equal facility
East, West, North orSouth. Warrantees of five
years given on every instrument.
