PHYSIQGNOMY.

Popularity, this moaiis the art Of read
ing character 10y the means Of Its signs
In the face, although Ii has u more lex-
tended meaning In Its original sense.
There are many people who believe
heartily In PhysiOgnomy who do not
understand and therefore do not APP
prcciate I'm full the claims OF PhrenOl-
ogy. in fact, there are few who do not
claim to receive some strong and very
correct impressions from the general
appearance of persons they meet. To
all such, the large and complete work
called Anew Physi0gnomy," by Sam
uel IL. Wells, will be specially inter-
esting. This work contains nearly 500
pages, with more than thousand pOr-
traits, including the widest possible
range, from the best and most gifted Of
persons to the most ,lelDased ami lowest
grades of humanity. The whole gIUund
of cl,aracter-reading IL covered fully,
including the general principles of
PhyslOgnoiny, together with pictures
and illustrations of the general forms
of faces" For instance, we have dis
cussions on the chin, and what IL IN
dicatcs; of the nose, with upwards of
seventy Illustrations of this one fea-
ture; all about the eyes, their langliugc,
color, and character; the checks and
compilations; the forehead; the hair;
the jaws aud teeth; neck and ears; the
hands and feet; ana Il most Interesting
chapter Is that devoted to the "Signs
of Character" in the actions, walk, and
voice. The physiognomy of the insane,
and the exercises I'm expression, are
both interesting and important. The
plysiognomy of different classes Is IL
lustrated by groups of portraits or di-
vines, pugilists, warriors, surgeons, i'll
vent0rs, statesmen, actors, poets, etc.
A chapter of special interest to many
is that of lOve-siEns in the lips, chin,
and eyes. If the suggestions given
here were needed, many disappOint-
ments In life might I've avoided. Conn
parative PhysiOgnoiny is also well il
lustrated. The book concludes with an
extended chapter on Character-Isead-
ing, containing portraits of many men
of the day, with brief sketches of char
acter, as indicated in their physiOgno-
mics, together with u few words bio
graphical concerning each.
This work must he Of interest to the
general reader, and ii is well worth the

A sick Senator.

the number OF deaths reported in the
papers, from that dreadful disease, Con-
SUMPTION. In fact, this disease Is re-
ported to be constantly increasing, as
can bc seen by examining the mortai-

c. Fl. Forman. A store and dwelling
combined; 24x6O feet; was built by e.
II. Forman, In Summer of 1875; Mr.. II.

riety stock and doing the mercantile
business Of the place. In Fall Of 1877,
Geo. q. Sweet built a saw mill, to cut
the large tract of pine owned by himself
and brother, la the. vicinity of the Sta-
tom, also, built u store and dwelling,
stables, &c. j In 1878, Mr.. s. sold Ills
plne to Dewey & Co., of Kalamazoo,
but contracted for cutting the logs into
lumber, aud moved the machinery of
his mill some four or five miles into
Cherry Valley township, to be near the
timber. The best of the lumber Is be-
ing transported by teams to tlie Station;
about l,OO0,00O feet now being piled
/ Fall and Winter of 1877, dwellings
were built by I. Saidborn, 4. J. Blnck-
MAR Geo. g. North, VIM. Tuxworth

In his speech at the Cooper Institute
New York last night, Secretary Evarts
said: I'VE waited two years to see if
tn" Chisolm crime would be punished,
but acquitta! was the result. How
can there be free and universal suffrage
when crime goes unpunished and law
is null AMI void? Ifyou allow suffrage
to be subjugated in the south it will
next be subjugated in New York, and
the same remedies will have to be re-
sorted to.
We can bear and redress this evil,
but we cannot submit to it. We have
our manufacturers, industries, civili-
zation, education, religion and ad-
vapcement to attend to, and we do not
propose to be kept from these pursuits
forever by these thunderbolts from the
south"
Senator Blaine made brief speech,
which was received with much favor.

ArchbisbOp PnrceIi,s Debis,

New YORK, Oct. 2l.-Notwithstand
ing the tavoring circumstances attend
ing the setting forth, soon after the
dedication of the CATHEDRAL, of the gen.
eral plan for the relief of Archbishop
Purcell, of Cincinnati, it is now be-
lieved that the result in this city will
fall far short of the more hopeful ex-
pectations. OF the one hundred and
fifty churches in this diocese about one
hundred and ten have sent in their
contributions, and it is expected that
the rest will be heard from within three
weeks. 1t is impossible to get the ex-
act figures, the church authorities de-
clining to furnish them at present,
but from such information as can
be gained the subscriptions will
not average more than 5000 a
church, or $50, 900 in all. Many of the
churches are poor and but little could be
expected of them, but it is believed the
immense amount of the debt and tn"
seeming impossibility of paying it,
coupled with feeling that the burden
ought not to be imposed on the shoul-
ders of those who already have loads
to carry, haye much to do with the
result,

A wEEDY QUARREL.
In a smoking room, on table lay

In a smoking room, on table lay
pipe and seRar together.
The one was made Of the finest clay,
The other had come from far away,
And they had debated the livelong day
To decide the question, whether
Ihe one or the other had greater claim
To popular use, or popular fame.
The pipe asserted, his claim and said
IT'S strange how you abuse me,
For I've always held as high head
AS you, and I'm Oft preferred instead
BY rich and poor, white man and red
In fact most people use me;
And my soothing power all fOeman heed
AS they call me pipe of peace, indeed :"
" Don't put on airs !" the weed replied
In q most insulting manner,
Then tossed his head and dared deride
The pipes true boast, and filled with pride
Rose In his wrapper, and thus he cried
i" Pm genuine Havana.
And III have you know I'm used by those
Who would ne'er put you beneath their
nose. :"
They fought and quarrelcd till day was DER,
On this all important matters
And they uttered unseemly words galore,
And called each other bad names a score,
And IT'S even thought by some they swore,
For they kept up such n clattcr
That they made their friends, the matches,
gapc
For fear they'd get into a ecrape.
Now 1t CHANGED two men passed by that way
Who heard how each derided
One seized the pipe, and without delay
The other the weed brought into play;
Each fell to work and without more say
w The question was soon decided
or tho war of words they made Joke.
They sc aped the lnatcnes-and the end was
