Literature orthe Face.


Observe how, W 1en the shrewd pains
ist is reading the, lines of hand, he
scans the face With almost equal inter-
est. These learned people know how
the soul dwell rs in the eye; and the abil'
ity to unders tand its language is Unborn
with most folks, without having to
study it, though extremely sensitive
persons have told me that more power
of discri' animation rested in their hands!
than they could read from every feature
of the face, the fingers being so full OF
vision. that they could feel color with
out seeing it; so full of nerves that an
impres sion was instantaneous and could
be rel led upon; so full Of life that when
their possesscr was in love they tingled
with an affectionate intoxicatlon.
It is said that very quiet eyes that I'M
press and embarrass one with their re-
T,ose signify self-eommand,, but also
much complacency and some concelt-
! Restless eyes that can not look one
1 steadily in the face denote a deceitful,
/ designing mind. Eyes in which the
white has yellowish tinge and is
streaked with reddish veins prove much
| of strong passion and hasty tempers.
Very blue eyes bespeak mind inclined
to coquetry; gray eyes signify dignity
! intelligence and excellent reasoning
faculties; greenish eyes, falsehood and
a fondness for scandal. A malicious
] mind is often Indicated by greenish
ewes. Black eyes show a passionate,
| lively temperament, and oft-times a
most deceitful disposition; brown eyes
are generally tender and true, indicat-
ing a kind and happy disposition.
OF the nose. A Roman nose denotes
an enterprising, business-ike character;
a long nose is the sign of good sense; a
perfectly straight nose indicates pure
and noble soul, unless the eye contra
diets it; a nee retrousse signifies spirit
of mischief, wit and dash; a large nose
generally indicates large mind and good
i heart; very small nose good nature,
but lack of energy.
Thick lips generally mean either
great genius or great stupidity; very
thin lips, cruelty, righteousness, and,
if the lips are habitually compressed,
falsehood. Dimples on the cheek are
known as the abodes of roguery, and,
in the chin, of Cupid and his pranks.
A lean face speaks more OF lntelli-
1 gence than a fat face. generally speak
ing, and they do say, beware of full,
round and greasy face-itmeans treach-
cry.
Feasibility is accompanied by an
erect posture, open nostrils, moist
temples, displaying superficial veins
which stand out and throb under the
least excitement, large, unequal, i'll
ranged eyes, and equal use OF both
hands.
A genius may be expected from
middle stature. blue gray or brown
eyes, prominent and large forehead,
with temples little hollow, under lip
slightly retiring, fixed, attentive look,
and habitual inclination of the head
either backward or forward. Forney'S

coronet and it's apex extending down
ward to the lowest extremity of the
crack; also pare that part of the wall
that rests upon the shoe about the vi

possibly have any bearing. Require
him to have bar shoe; apply mild
blister to the quarter, and, with fire.

very awkward. Said he ut is good

We may get used to it," Knowing
Democrats do not hesitate to say that
the voice was Jacobs voice, but the
hand was the hand of Esau. Warden
Jones was the Democratic Esau who
came to bring the orders of the Gov
ernor, who was so anxious to propitiate
the Greenbackers in the state in the
interest of himself. But the orders of
Gov. Click were not sufficient TO carry
out these purposes, and the balance of
the work was done i'm the committee
on credentials which passed n resolu-
ton and carried it through the conven-
ton, authorizing every delegate to cast
solution placed the full eight votes of
Anderson county in the hands of two
Greenbackers, and twelve votes from
Montgomery county in the hands of
three Grcenbackers. BY this deal Mr..
Acers was cheated out of fifteen votes
which he was entitled to. The demo-
cratic part of the Miami City delega-
ton was also acting under orders in
throwing their vote away upon Nick
| olson. The Greenbhckers from that
Ecounty of course brought Mr.. \. out in
order to create this diversion from
, Acers. These facts will explain the
| deeply suppressed emotion which

Of which he is master. that his friend
! had been sold out i'm the hoase of bis
! friends by the Glickites in an effort to
propitiate men who had futhlessly
slaughtered Mr.. Acers one year ago.
Outwardly, as has been said, the
convention was harmonious, but it is
doubtful if the nominee will receive
the hearty support of all who were re.
presented. Indeed many of Acers'
friends openly declare that they are for
Funston, while others feel very sore
over the INSCRIPTIONS way in which
they were sold out by the Governor
We would advise Republicans not tc
