Professor sizer on Hancock.

In the american Phren0logical Journal for
September the character of General Han.
cock is given by the distinguished phrenolo.
ust Professor Nelson Sizer. Speaking az II
scientist, not asa partisan, the professor says /:
"Thc portrait of General Hancock indicates
a prcdOmnance of the vital temperament; his
chest is broad and deep, his neck umGom.
monty large, the cheek full and heavy-he Is
said to weigh $50 pounds or more. The
TEXTURES are relatively small, ~ if he Inherited
his mothers mental and physical constitution.
He evidently has too much flesh for perfect
health for promise OF long life, and also for
tho best mental conditions of clearness aud
vigor. He has such strength of digestive
| power that whatever he eats is converted into
nutrition, and especially into fatness, which,
in excess, does not minister to clearness Of
mind or long life.
"Hr has the sign of large Languages the full
ness under tho eye may, however, be enhanced
by the plethoric state of his general constitu.
tion, that which gives the fullness seen in the
cheek, tho great width to tho side face. and
the bulkness to the neck; still we fancy he
may he good tallier, not, perhaps, con.
| seCulivo and vigorous orator. man OF the
type better adapted to conversation than to
sustained speaking.
"rhe anterior brain Is not massive; tho
strength of his development lies in the mid.
die section OF the heNd, where the organs
which give lilo-power, appetite, desire for
property and tho ability to push his cause
earnestly--are located lie appears to have
rather strong cautousness aud sccretiveness,
the first giving prudence and the second policy,
aud though he may talk pretty freely, he is
not likely TO say more than his cause requires;
| he can be reticcnt aud reserved in his state.
mcnts when necessary
'He appears to have "A good degree of order
and calculation, considerable mechanical tai.
| ent, but not u scholarly deYelopment--lan.
| guages aud literature, power of statement and
| expression would be more manifest in him
| than comprehensive, thCOrotG power adapted
! to argcncss Of planning and appreciation OF
remote causes and consequences. II he were u
| lawyer or legislator hn would advocate and
push bill with more skill and tact than he
would plan, organiZ0 and initiate measures.
'When aroused, he has n severe temper, and
considering the development in tho region of
the ear, there seems disposition to remember
! grievances and 10 chastise those severely who
have injured him.
"He has great ambition, being inclined odo
aud suffer much to attain aud keep position,
| esteem and popularity.
Ellis temperament hasa tendency to anchor
| him to the physical the tangible and the
earthly; hc is not strongly theoretical, senti-
mental, or disposed to live In tho realm of the
ideal. lie is fond Of the good things of the
table, aud we think that ii he would live on
half raiions,' instead of double ratons,' he
would live longer; by losing say fifty pounds
of flesh would have n clearer mind and stronger
character in general"

Tho Rev. Levi Fuller, pastor Of the Luth-
Gran church ut Funkstown. has fractured his

On Wednesday as Charlie yeirs of Mont

About midnight on Thursday night the

The live stock, consisting of five horses and a

to fill the position is a source of qualification

The ship canal through Cape Cod on the
Massachusetts, coast, which, when completed,
will connect Massachusetts, bay and Buzzard's
bay, is now being dug several hundred men
being employed in the work. The'effect of the
canal will be to make Cape Cod an island, give
cheaper coal to Boston and the East, save mill.

in case of Il foreign naval war, give flrst.class
advantage to the government in protecting its
whole eastern coast. Tho length of waterway
will bo IL, 900 feet, the breadth at tho bottom
GO feet, aud AT the top 25O feet. Tbe depth below
low water will be 25 feet. 1t is to cost Sl0,-
100000. There will bo a saving of II distance
OF $50 miles on Il dangerous coast. This makes
Boston nine hours nearer New York by steam.

pnt the egg in his pocket until ho could spare
the tim to constitute himself an "invcstigat.

oggs. Being thus pgeon.holed, in accordance
with general principles, the matter was for.
gotten until after the lapse of many days, and
was then only brought to notice by searching
his pocket for some article that he usually
carried there, when he discovered not u terra

Whether Mr.. Williams feels any strong ma

THE Colorado papers are discussing the
movement of mormon settlers into that state
as something which demands serious atten.
tiom. It Is not because they practice polygamy,
or that they separate themselves rs much as
nossible from the rest Of the community
wherein they enter to stay, nor for any of
their purely religious views; the objection is
based on political grounds, The mornOns act
together and vote us their priestly rulers
direct, and thoy vote soidly Thoy would not
be controlled by tho influences which operate
on the American voter generally. An element
thus plant to the will of priestly politicians
or agitators would soon mako its weight felt
aud would be used TO aggrandize and mako
greater the power of the mormon hierarchy.
They aim to create prestly government
(which shall extend over the wide world aud
cope with the universe, which shall have the
right to govern aud control the Inhabitants
thereof to regulate them aud give them laws
and execute those laws which power has been
given to Joseph Smith, and has been handed
down to his successors" as Brigham's cOun-
cilor Grant put it, Brigham Young appreci.
ated the necessity of isolation until he could
mould his people intoa compact mass, obe-
dient to his will. There is no hope or aspira-
tion short of the promised heavenly paradise
which is stronger, more thoroughly nourishcd

of an earthly empire, These two ideas are
