A Troublesome Lover.

A curious incident, illustrative of the
ways of London society, came to light
recently in the central criminal court, be-
fore which tribunal Edward Rowdon a
person of gentlemanly appearance, was
arranged for libel. 1t appeared that
some three years siuce this gentleman
was at Hamburg, where he met Miss Lane
Fox, the daughter of Lord ConGer, and
fell desperately in love with the young
lady. Failing to obtain an introduction
in the usual form, he attempted to enter
into conversation with his inamorate, but
his ardent advances were met with chilly
disdain. Nothing daunted by this recep
ton, Rowdon followed the lady to Paris
and to London, constantly annoying her
with letters and attentions, until the family
to avoid a scandal was obliged to have
him arrested, and the victim of this hope
less attachment was sent to prison for
six months. On his release he renewed
his attentions, to thu disgust of the fam
lily, and, to Miss Fox's dismay, the prison
err was introduced to her at reception
at the foreign office by no less a person
age than the premier himself. From
subsequent information it appeared that
Rowdon had gone to this swell reception
without an invitation, and had asked the
Marquis of Salisbury to introduce him to
Miss Fox, which favor the good .natured
statesman granted without delay. EN-
boldened by the success of this ruse,
which, however, did not lead to the de-
sired cquaintanceship, the prisoner
published a statement in the Morn
ing post, to the effect that a mar
| riage had been arranged between
himself and Miss Lane Fox, and this was
the libel complained of, as there could be
no doubt that an announcement of this
kind was calculated to expose the young
lady to shame and ridicule, the more so
as the prisoners name had recently APP
peered as petitioner in the bankru ptcy
court. The proceedings terminated in
the prisoner being sentenced to eighteen
months imprisonment and the satrical
papers offered many caustic comments as
to the facility with adYenturers can obtain
an entrance into the most exclusive Lon.
don circles of society.

Philadelphia Inquirer.

NJ. Dumas recently delivered the fu
neral Grafton of one Desbaroles, profess
sor of palmisty, and in the course of his
remarks spoke of Desbarolles as having
done for the hand what Gall and Spur
helm had done for the brain. If this
parallel is to be be taken seriously it is
not too much to say that the science of
palmistry must be regarded as practi-
cally extinct.
Phrenology to-day is an effete branch
of thought. We look in vain fol any
mention of the word IN the induces OF
works on the brain which deal with the
latest information science has elected re-
specting the organ of mind. No one
possessing the most elementary knowl-
edge of the progress science has made
within the last twenty years, in the mat
ter of the functions of the brain, can for
a moment accord to chronology stable
position in the list of modern branches
and modes of inquiry. 1t Is, perchance,
only breaking a butterfly en- the wheel
and staying the slain. to say so much.
But the science of Gall, Spurshelm and
George Combe still survives in holes and
corners among us in the shape of demon
STATIONS by peripatetic Psychologist of
the characters" of the clients. Busts
are still to be seen and bought in which
the human head is mapped out into
spaces af 'destructiveness,' and ''venera
ton" areas of "amativeness," form"
"color," Language" and so forth. There
are many persons who still believe that
the faculties of human nature are all
pigeon holed, as the phrenologist teach
ers, on the convour of the brain.
The reading of character and the CON
stitution of mind would be an extraordi.
narily easy matter were such things true
The brain, alas! is much too complex an
organ to be so lightly disposed of. 1t
has taken the best work of quarter of
century in modern physiology to open
the subject of brain functions, and 1T will
occnpy the energies of many years be-
fore we are able definitely to sum up
clearly and explicitly the exact nature of
toe brains ways and works.
But what we do know of cerebral struc-
ture and action Stays phrenology more
com pletely than it has ever been disposed
of before. The work of Hitzig, Fritsch,
Ferricr and others has taught us the new
phrenology-th of experimental sci
ence. 1t has exploded the old myths
about faculties, pumps" and brain or
gans, of which so much talk was heard
half century gone by. We are able to-
day to indicate generally how the organ
of mind works, how certain of its parts
come to the front over others, how
there should exist lower and
higher ''centers" in its sub
stance, how one part regulates speech
and another seeing and another hearing.
In our hospitals for nervous diseases to-
day, tho physician, from his study in the
work of the normal brain, is able to place
his finger on the region he regards as eff
fectsd in his patient, and post-mortem
inquiry, as we'll as evidence of other
kind, is brought into the field of research
to confirm his deductions. Looking back
to the days OF palmistry and soothsay-
ing, we see in the old phrenology, which
still survives in unlearned circles, a fit ac-
compartment of the science" of bands.

Expressing His Feelings.

A - man whose matrimonial life had
been anything but happy in consequence
of the quarrelsome habits of his wife,
who thus contrived to keep him con-
stantly in hot water with the neighbors,
was at last relieyud of her presence by
death. As the widower's means were lin
tied, the funeral was plain, but respecta-
BILE enough to satisfy any reasonable re-
lative. The brother of the deceased
lady, however, was not a reasonable man;
and on the return of the mourners to the
house he ridiculed the funeral, said that
it was mean, undemonstative, and so
quiet that all the neighbors must have
considered it niggardly.

the widower; "but what did you expectf

Had wrapped tue sun in on nky shroud
With the timbers straining unoer our feet,
And our faces pale in the lightning glare,
We learned for the first time life was sweet,
or we learned for the first time that love was

BIest was the fragrance that came on the blast,
Bright was the moment, but swiftly past
All fer too best TOO bright to last
For the mighty, passionless pitllcss sea
Claimed what was dearer Than lie 70 me.

Shut from my eyes The loosened san

when droyes Of dogs were kept in oriental
cities, with the idea that the animals were
a sanitary necessity, rs they consumed a
large portion of the household refuse.
These dogs being unshcltered during
midsummer were subject TO intedse heat,

doing no harm whatever. In years past
it was no uncommon sight in Philadel-
phia for dog to dart through the city,
alarming the residents on every side, but
but now it is a very rare thing, as all sup
crliuous dog flesh is disposed of by the
dog catchers, and those puppies that are
unmolested are generally thought some
thing of and well cared for.
