Personality in Handwriting.

Persons writing naturally do so
without thought regarding the peculiar
construction of their writing. The
hand operates the pen as it were auto
maticaily. through the sheer force OF
habit, by which all the innumerable
personalities are unconsciously i'm
parted to writing. Learners and forg-
ers think respecting their writing, and
hence, the more stiff and formal style
of their work; there is wanting the
easy, graceful flow, apparent in
thoughtless or habitual writing. Lines
show more of nervousness and heSitan-
cy while the whole construction of the
writing is more exact and formal; and,
besides, every different handwriting
abounds in well nigh numberless habit
ual peculiarities, of which the writer
himself is unconscious, and cannot,
therefore, avoid. Thus, two other in
surmount8hle difficulties ara placed in
the way of the forger: First, to observe
and initiate all the characteristics of
the writing he would simulate; and,
second to note and avoid all the habitual
characteristics of his own hand. Habit
in writing becomes so fixed and arbi-
trary (not to mention the great artistic
skill required to exactly initiate an un-
practiced hand), that do not conceive
it TO be possible for anyone to simulate
the writing of another, or to so dis
semble his own writing, in any consid-
cradle quantity, as to defy detection
through really skilled expert exami-
nation.-IHe Counting Room.

Cheerful Chinese Execution,

A common mode is to tear off the
nails of the toes and fingers, thrust
bamboo spikes into the eyes, and rid
die the whole bodies with iron wires
heated in the fire. Another peculiarly
diabolical invention is a cage, Just high
and wide enough to enable the victim
to stand in it. Its whole interior-top,
sides and bottom, excepting just space
enough to rest the feet on-is garnished
with spikes made of bamboo. and when
the prisoner is placed in it the cage is
suspended. Unless he keeps his body
perfectly rigid the cage oscillates, and
with the least oscillation the spikes en-
ter his naked body. He cannot crouch
down or change his position in the
least, nor make use of his hands. No
food is given him. The moment he be-
gins to feel sleepy-to relax his mus
cles-innumerable bamboo points enter
his flesh, and the pain is SO acute that
sleep is impossible. Finally he dies,
rather from want of sleep han from
pain-one of the most hideous deaths
imaginable.-Fiqdr0.

sment given at the English
- -nurch last evening was a splendid
- In every particular. Prof. i. E. AL
,lirich's musical sketch, entitled Grandfather
Merrymsn or a Friend in Need" was rem
dered in the presence of large audience.
Deep interest was manifested throughout the
performance. The first three acts are bright
and sparkling in character. The scene
represented is the family sitling-room of a
New England farm house in ''ye olden time, y
in which picture OF comfort and plenty is
presented.
The close of the third aci introduces the
change in character by the
fourth act, being a scene of want and desti-
tuition ana which is in strong contrast 10 the
first part.
Every one who has witnessed representa-
ton of such scenes knows how short step it
is from the pathetic TO the ridiculous, and
how difficult il is for amateurs to avoid TAX
ing the step.
Miss Eva Delo took the leading part
in this scene-thst OF Widow Grey,
and told her story OF want and poverty in
such natural manner that many persons in
the sudieuce were moved to tears.
The sketch in its entirety presents a Won
derfully interesting little story, the moral OF
which cannot pe misunderstood.
Miss Elsie Lenhart took the part of
Grandmother Merrymsn and did her work in
an exceedingly creditable manner notably
in the fourth act where she visits the hone
OF Widow Grey, and ministers to her wants.
Mr.. Joe Carr in the part of "Pennygrip,"
was one of the favorites of the audience and
was well received.
Mr.. A. Z. Aldrich, the author Of the sketch
took the part of .'Grandfather Merryman" in
a very natural manner. Prof A. V. Sykes
did splendid piece OF work as accompanist,
playing the music at sight, never having re-
hearsed with tie Merrymau family.
The entertainment will be repeated this
evening at the same place. The object for
which it is given together with its merit is
in every way worthy of another large au-
dience this evening.

Humpty Dumpty at the Grand, Saturday
Afternoon and Evening.
Tomorrow afternoon and evening Tony
Denier's Humpty Dumpty and Specially
Troupe will appear at the Grand Opera House.
The Detroit Free Press has the following 10
say of the entertainment given by this COM
pany: Talk of jams! Viii ney's Opera
House was so compressed last night, outside
of the reserved seats procured during the day,
that it was next to impossible to tell whether
it was the corns on your own or your neigh
bor's feet that were hurt by being tread upon.
No man. woman or child could convey an
idea by writing or telling just how funny,
extremely funny, roaring in its results on
your laughing facilities. There has not been
an entertainment in the city for twenty years
with as much fun to the square inch as
Tony Denier. If you have an idea this is not
SO, then you will have to call on one of the
300 chunks of humanity whose sides ache
this morning from exercise last night
On Monday evening next the Grand Opera
House VIII be occupied by probably one OF
the best, as well as best advertised, attractions
rom New York city. As guarantee OF this
assertion the managers will return to any
of lis patrons the full price of all tickets
if at any time during the performance they
shall offer just cause of dissatisfaction The
play will be "Muggs' Landing" comedy
drama in four acts, by Scott Marble Il has
been the most successful play this season, and
the press everywhere speaks in glowing
terms of its merits. The company comprises
twelve artists, the stars being Miss Frances
Bishop, of the Madison Square Theater, and
Mr.. Alfred Mcdowell, formerly of the Tour
lists. The rest of the company are all well
known. To meet the popular demand prices
have been reduced, the best seats being fifty
cents il purchased in advance at Carter's.
