This very interesting and readable book,
written in a clear and vigorous style by
Nelson Sizer, one of the oldest and best
known character readers in America, and
DR.. ii. s. Drayton, editor of the Phrenolog-
ical journal, appears to be a successful
endeavor to present the subject of human
character and how to study 1t in plain,
comprehensive, and attractive light.
The demand for standard publications Of
low price has increased greatly with the
tendency Of many bookmakers to meet it.
Popular edit ons of the poets, historians,
scientists have fallen in line with the hun
dreds and thousands of cheap editions of
the better classes of novels and now, in
response to the often-eXpressed want Of the
studious and curious, we have this volumin-
Gus yet very low-priced treatise on "Heads
and Faces from the point Of view of
phrenology, physiognomy, and physiology.
Although so low-priced, as we have noted
above, II is no ilimsy, patched-up volume,
but a careful, honest work, replete with in
struction, fresh In thought, suggestive and
inspiring. There are nearly 200 illustrations,
exhibiting great variety of faces, human
and animal, and many other interesting
features of the much-sided subject that is
! considered. Taken at length tits one of the
most complete books on face-study that has
been issued by its publishers, and is book
that must create demand wherever it is
seen. The style In which 1t has been pro-
| duccd, the excellent paper, good press
work, numerous illustrations, and elegant,
engaging cover, make it phenomenon even

IMMORTALITY INHERENT IN NATURE


BY WARREN SUMNER BARLOW, author of
1.-THE Voices and other poems. 12mo,
extra CLOTH full gilt 90 cents. New York:
Fowler Il Wells Co., publishers, No. 1853
Broadway. For sale Mt Brcntano's.
The title of this poem would probably
suggest to most persons very elaborate
and technical volume; but, on the contrary,
the matter is not only simplihed and clear
but is condensed into about forty pages,
forming an misunderstanding book, con-
tanning In all five cantUs.
The prelude is entitled "God is all in all, !"
and II fifty preceded the various cantos by
preparing the way for the due appreciation
Uf their sublect-matter and style Of treat
ment. The arrangement of the cantos is
characterized by logical relation and cumu-
latve force, each canto naturally leading
TO or supplementing another. "Thc source
of thought is eternal;n "All effects are
eternal" Decentralization in harmony with
free agency;n "Design versus chance" and
"The hope Of the soul' are the respective
titles Of the several cantos, which themes
certainly require careful discrimination and
thoughtful and judicious treatment, and
Mr.. Barlow, in our judgment, has succeeded
In these respects.

F,or Ireland Cause.

AT the meeting of the Irish A alton
III League iii ri ibernian III last Satnr-
day evening, Vice President Met Gait
ferty was called to the chair, in the ab-
sance of the presid lent. After the op--
,enlng routine Mr.. McC afferty said that
from all acc counts he had read st. Paul
had contributed more 10 the Parnell
fund, IN proportion to her popula ion,
than any other city in the United States.
MI. i arnell it was pretty generally be-
,lieved, would be able to show So and
possibly So members in Parliame after
the coming elections iii Ireland. AS
the funds would be necessary, Mr.. Nc
Cafferty suggested that a part Of ST.
Paul's contribution be sent at once.
Onithis suggestion, the treasurer was
instructed by a vote to forward 81 500
to the Rev Father Riley the Treasurer
of the N ational Leagu e, at once. Capt,
Fahey, from the committee Of forty on
subscriptions. reported that the city
had been laid out into districts, and
that the work Of canyassing had begun.
Mr.. g. B. Stanley was then called for
as zone who was from across the
water and he responded briefly. He
said that from what those had recently
been across the water to their native
land told him, he felt sure that there
had been progress made in Mr.. Parnell's
cause. Mr.. j. p. Fortune then favored
the meeting with recitation. Mr..
Manley followed with brief account
Of the mass meeting held a week ago in
Detroit, which he had attended. FaJh-
ser Riley, the treasurer of the National
L sague, had been present at that meet
ing, and the speaker had taken the lib
erty to invite him to st. Paul. he
hoped the organization would endorse
the invitation. Some discussion fol-
lowed as to the proper way of sending
the money, this being decided on, the
meeting adjourned. u.

Blaine on the Administration.

MI. Blaine is in good health and splf-
it's, and he does not intend to return to
public life by entering the Senate Or the
House. He has his book nearly com
pleted, and will spend the greater part
OF the winter getting together the
material for his history OF War OF 1872 81.
Mr.. Blaine takes great interest In the
general political situation. but ne does
not expect to be a candidate again.
Senator Hale thinks Blaine will have
something to say, however, about who
will be nominated by the Republicans
in 1885. Another gentleman who has
recently seen Mr.. Blaine says the latter
is of the opinion that the Democrats
are going to have a long lease OF power
and that the Improvement in business
viii help this administration as much
quite as much as the result OF the cleo
ton in New York.

the last day on earth Of q man who has
the whole world divided on the sentence,
as to the justice on injustice, and final
end. He was Informed on Sunday that
the messenger bearing his death war
rant arrived, and he manifested relief
at the announcement. He spent most
OF the night in prayer, speaking occas-
sionally to the priest and the sheriff.
II He neither desired to pose as a man
who had done great deeds or as martyr.
He met his fate like a man, and when
summoned to the scaffold his steps was
firm and he was composed. Reil's was
a case OF a very serious nature, and one
which a nation has the right to protect
itself by severe penalties. There are q
number of reasons why the hanging Of
Rel should not have been. The gov
eminent acknowledg ed after the Halt
breeds had taken up arms, that they
had been Wronged, and that the Half
breeds were entitled to redress. And
then after acknowledge that5a wrong
had been done by the government made
the hanging Of the leader in the upris-
ing an act of cruelty and tyranny. 1t is
said also, that the mans mind was UNI
balanced Let the latter mention carry
the weight it may, the French portion
OF the Canadian population may prove
more dangerous to the government than
many may think. If it had not been
admitted that the Half-breeds had
serious and cruel wrongs to complain
of the hanging of their leader would
be justifiable. AS it is, it was a reyeng-
FIJI act, and showed cowardice and
weakness on the part Of the Canadian
government.

The exercises of the evening opened
with a patriotic song from Mr.aGom-

olous speech OH Ireland's wrongs. He
recited the deeds in Americas behalf
which had established in every Ameri-
can heart the greatest love and admira-

When Irishmen i'll their efforts to
maintain Mr.. Parnell and associates,
called upon Americans for moral and
material support, they took a liberty

/ He Used The DoOtto P R

A well known Philadelphia barber
has among His Gust omel's q prominent
Some time ago the phYsi-
clan mentioned to his barber, whose
name is John, that he had received q
pass to Atlantic City and as he did not
care tOs use it he would present il TO
him. John joyfnlly accepted the pass.
and the following Sunday started for
the city by the sea. ] ust outside Of
Camden the conductor came through,
carefully examined the pass and scrll-
Itinized its holder. In few minutes he
came rushing back, and addressing the
astonished barber said: & Doctor, a lady
has been TAX EN- taken very i'll in the for
ward car. Please go ia and see what
YOU can do for her. & IN 5s Ii.
John was pushed into the other car
in an entirely dazed condition, and
found a lady had tainted. Herhusband
was chatting her hands, and the con-
ductor informed him that he brought
DR.. - the celebrated ply stefan, who
would, no doubt, bring her around.
John by this time had recovered his
senses, and commanded that he window
should be raised. He then asked if any
person had brandy (he had a flask in
his own pocket, but did not dare to
produce it,, and when it was brought
he moistened the woman's lips and
rubbed her forehead with ice water. In
a few minutes she recovered, and her
husband publicly thanked the doctor
for his skill and kindness. All pleasure
had flown for the unhappy barber. The
conductor on every trip through the
car addressed him as 8 Dr. Upon
his arrival at Atlantic City John feared
that he might be denounced as fraud !,
and skunk around the back streets until
the first train left for Philadelphia,
when he paid his fare and returned
home, yowing that he would never
travel on another mans pass.
