ANCIENT AND DISCRIMINATION the wall
over the desk in Col. Mumford's office
hangs couple of formidable pieces of
parchment, which show that the Col. al
though vigorous and active is yet not a
spring chicken by any manner of means.
The first of the diplomas testiiies that ]. P.
Mumford was admitted to the bar in the
state of New York in 1854, and the other
certifies to his admission to practice in the
courts of this state, or rather territory, and
is dated 1857. These documents are en-
bellished with gorgeous ribbons and enor'
NOUS seals. and present an antique and
| dignified appearance.
PHRENoLoGIcAL.-Th series Of Phreno-
logical lectures delivered by Prof. G. Nor
ris, at Goods hall, were well attended, Civ
ing very general satisfaction. OF the science
of either phrenology or phisiognomy, we
are not sufficiently familiar to enable US to
offer any criticisms, but we will say tLat
Prof. Morris appears to be gentleman
who is deeply interested in his profession
one which he thoroughly understands
His earnestness and enthusiasm, and the
success with which he meets, leads to thu
conclusion that his work is not the clap
trap, catch penny nonsense many woule
have US believe. There seems to be reason
able grounds for the assertions that the u.s.
of any particular organ of the brain will
cause its development, or that abuse o
overwork will inculcate disease, but wheth
er the existence of any peculiar trait o
character can be discovered by simply ex
aiming the outward parts of the head, i
a point we are not ready to admit, as W
do not think any rule or set of rules woul'
be infallible. ~

Personal Peouliar-tles.

About.forty years ago | had lad in
my employ who had the habit when I'M
expectedly spoken to OF pricking up his
ears in SO decisive manner as to re-
mind one Of the ears of Press or of Tray
when suddenly called. Marie Louise,
the second wife of the great Napoleon,
was in the habit of amusing the ladies
of her court at their private soirees by
turning her ears almost completely
round, and in n manner closing them
up She did this by peculiar motion
Of the Jaw, and shtis said to have prided
herself on the exploit not little.
A man I knew well wore an enor-
nous shock OF raven hair, and would al
low himself to be lifted by the hair from
the ground by any one who was strong
enough to do it, and to be swung to and
fro like pendulum, or to be dragged
along the floor, I'D .. .I.
The faculty of sleeping at will was one
Of the endowments of the first Napoleon,
who it is said could sleep any length OF
time, long or short, and awake at the
time. almost toa minute, lie had resolved
upon.
Among the muscular movements not
common, | have noticed several instan.
ces of persons who could throw back the
four fingers Of either hand until they
stood quite perpendicular with the
wrist. Other instances | have seen,
though but few, Of persons who can
project the lower joint Of the thumb al.
most into the hollow Of the palm. In
neither Of these cases is the use or the
ordinary symmetry of the hand affected.
OF left handed people we have all seen
many, and they abound among the
working class; but OF the artibandist or
both-handed, that is, with persons who
could do everything with either hand, as
well with one as the other, l have
known but one in the whole course Of
my life. This was an orphan boy who
had had no parental care, but had been
left almost to himself from infancy.
Quick, active and sharp witted, he had
taught himself many things tolerably
well, could draw fairly; could play the
fiddle and flute, and wrote admirably
and with unrivaled rapidity with either
hand.
There are many persons who, from
causes they can neyer explain, have q
repugnance, almost amounting to horror
in some cases, for certain animals. The
French General Junot, who was as cool
as a cucumber amidst storm Of bullets,
and would face the canhon's mouth un-
moved, would take to his heels at the
sight Of q live frog, and would not re-
cover his equanimity for hours,
) l have known man who could not
touch mutton, however cooked, while he
would eat heartily Of any other meat.
Some there are in whom the thought Of
eating hare or rabbit excites loathing;
some who would starve rather than eat
shell-fsh Of any kind; and there are not
q few to whom butter and cheese are
abominations Others are equally pref
udiced against certain vegetables, but
why or wherefore they can never tell
you.-Leisure Hours. t3bI. - u

Poor Mary Harris.

IL W Il.
Mary Harris, the young woman who
several years ago killed her alleged Sc
ducer-Borroughs-in one Of the corri-
dors of the treasury department, and
whose sensational trial for murder and
acquittal on the plea Of insanity are
well remembered by our citizens, has
since been an inmate Of the Government
Insane Asylum, but made her escape
yesterday afternoon while in charge Of
her attendant, Miss Acton. 1T appears
that Miss Harris accompanied Miss Ac-
ton to the city yesterday for the pur.
pose Of attending the matinee perform
ance at one of the theatres, and before
the hour they drove to residence in
the western part of the city, where Miss
Harris wished to stop and write a letter.
By some means she disappeared from
the presence Of Miss Acton and has not
yet been found. 1t is thought that she
proceeded TO the railroad station and
took passage for Baltimore, as she had
81 so in money with her, and that she
is now in that city somewhere. The po-
lice are on the lookout for her, and
measures have been taken by the police
authorities in Baltimore for her appre-
hension il in that city. She made her
sscape several years since and was re-
taken somewhere in Pennsylvania, after
an absence OF several months-WAsh'

Ohio's Spring Election.
New York Herald

Ohio is to have the luxury of two cleo
tons this year-the great contest for ths
presidency In the fall, 10 which the whole
country. but maioly Ohio, is interested
and the elections for city and township
officers, which take place the first of nexi
month, The latter does not seem to be
attracting attention. except possibly
among the politicians, and their chief
interest 10 the matter arises from the tact
that some of the officers to be elected will
do the counting for the presidessial can
didates next November. When it is
remem bered that in several of the states
in recent years the gentlemen who did the
counting were infinitely bigger men than
those who did the voting the importance
of the coming struggle 10 Ohio will be
readily perceived. AS an evidence Of the
probable decision in November little or nc
significance will attach to it, Ohio's full
vote is rarely poIled, except when the fate
of the foreign ministers. the eonsuis and
the federal machine at Washington, which
is for the most part ruu by Ohio parties,
isinVoIved,
