physiSgnOny.

Popular,r .hi- means the art of reading char
acter by liz L.C.,t. Of its signs in the face, al
though it has more extended meaning in It's
original sense. There are many pcople who be-
lieye heartily in Physiognomy who do not under
stand and therefore do not appreciate in full the
claims Of Phrcnology. IN fact, there are few who
do not claim to receive some strong and very cor
rect impressions from the general appearance Of
persons they meet. To all such, the large and
complete work called New PhysiognOmy," by
Samuel X. Wells, will be specially interesting.
This work contains nearly 500 pages, with more
than thousand portraits, including the widest
possible range, from the best and most gifted OF
persons to the most debased and lowest grades of
humanity The whole ground Of charactcr-read-
ing is covered fully, including the general prin-
ciples of PhysiognOmy, together with pictures
and illustrations Of the general forms of faces
For instance, we have discussions on the chin,
and what it indicates; OF the nose, with upwards
of seventy illustrations of this one feature; all
about the eyes, their language, color, and char
actcr; the cheeks and complexion: the forehead;
the hair; the jaws and teeth neck and ears; the
hands and feet; and most interesting chapter
is that devoted 10 the Signs Of Character" in the
actions, walk, and voice. Tho physiOgnomy Of
the insane, ana the exercises in expression, are
both interesting and important. The physiog
nomy of different classes is Illustrated by groups
of portraits OF divnes, pugilsts, warriors, sur
geOns, inventors, statesmen, actors, poets, etc.
\ chapter of special interest 20 many is that of
love signs in the lips, chin and eyes. If the sug
gcStOns given here were needed, many dlsap-
pointments in life might be avoided. Compare
tive Physiognomv i also well illustrated. The
book concludes with an extended chapter on
Character Reading, containg portrait, OF many
men Of the day, with brief sketches Of character,
Is indicated IN their phy-io-nomir-, together
with "a few words biographical concerning each.
This work must bee Of interest 10 the general
reader and il is we'll worth the price asked for il,
- and it is sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt Of
price by the publishers; and it Is also offered rs

The utter unrcasonableness of the people of
La Sale is finely shown by the following tclc
gram, if it truly represents the feeling of the citi
zens OF that burg:
Since the recent decision in the La Sale coun-
ty circuit court in favor of The People against the
City of La Sale, in which the plaintiff claimed
damages OF several thousand dollars, but got only
5000, from sewer which cmpties into the canal
ut this point, the state has lost the support OF
some of our most influential business men, They
were heretofore warm friends of the canal, but if
the state is going to bring suit against the city
every time some supposed injury is done by sew
crS they argue that the sooner the canal is dried
up the better. Many blame Canal Superintcnd-
ent Thomas's course in bringing suit ut this par
ticular time-whcn the canal needs all its funds,
and when harmony should prevail in the ranks.
Mr. Thomas's action has certainly arrayed por-
ton of our citizens against the canal movement,
and rs soon other cities learn the facts of the
suit, they, too, will not he enthusiastic over
our great canal, and the advantages to be de
rived therefrom
The question is simply this, shall the city of
La Sale (Which could drain as cheaply into nat
ural water.courses with damage to no onc) be al
lowed to ill up the canal with its sewerage? So
long as the sewer mentioned emptes into the ca
nal so long will the state be put to an annual cX-
pensc of drcd ring TO keep the channel clear for
boats The city never does any dredging or take
any stcpslo mitigate the nuisance. The canals
loss of friends in La Sale is perhaps not serious
the city never yet failed TO increase the yearly
expense of keeping it open. 1t is indeed the only
town on the line with which the canal manage
ment has ever had any difficulty In Ottawa
years ago an arrangement was made whereby
the sewers run under the canal. In Morris, less
happily situated for convenient draining, some
minor cutters empty into the canal; but they
never become distractions for the reason that
whenever the water is out the Accommodations are
at once removed by the authorities without wait
Ing for notification from the canal board Should
La Sale do the same no trouble would ever oc-
cur; but La Saleians don't see it in that light.
And when Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Jennc, the eng-
nccr, attempt to do their sworn duty to the canal
and the people, the city, the citizens and attor-
ney for the, abuse them like common
scOundrcls.

A SPECIMEN SUGAR PLUM.

While restricting women in their
property rights, or defrauding them by
keeping the earnings Of lifetime in
the names and subject to the absolute
control OF others, IL seems TO have been a
policy tacitly adopted to throw to them
an occasional sugar plum to silence
questioning or beget gratitude. The fo'-
lowing is fair specimen Of the attract
i've ingredients which compose a sugar
plum Of this kind: "Three-lourths of
the successful men Of the day owe much
Of tiSar prosperity to a wife's help The
load OF life is so heavy that it takes a
team of two to draw it. The ship not
only wants a captain but first mate"
Now, this statement, borne by the
white wings of the press, has trayersed
again and again an entire continent, its
truth unchallenged; aud yet all the
time the injustice Of practice as COM
pared with the facts it sets forth has
been passed by in silence. How many
wives are known to each Of Us who,
after long life Of labor, economy and
self-denial have found themselves Wild
ows without dollars worth Of the estate
they have helped to make within their
control? Compliment may satisfy the
unthinking, and appreciation is well, but
sensible aud independent women prefer
justice in property matters to the full
some expression OF the one or the pa
tronizing laudations Of the other. IL is
plain to all lovers Of equity that the ac-
cumulations Of the matrimonial firm
should belong equally to both parties
thereto, during the life Of both, and ex-
clusively, without legal Intervention, TO
the survivor upon the death Of either
trusting to parental instinct and anxiety
to care properly for the offspring Of the
marriage until able to care for them
selves. That fathers are so trusted and
a judicial guard set over mothers in like
circumstances is an outrage upon wom-
anhood that no laudations CONCERNING
"helpmeets1 can adequately compen-
safe. sugar piums may satisfy fretful
children, sick men and weak women,
but the men and women who bear the
brunt Of life's battle demand more
wholesome and substantial food.
