ago, we were told by DR. Seawell that
he would soon be followed by Col.

could instruct US more thoroughly in

the appointments made for Bro.

equally as much appreciated, and I
fear much harm has been done the

A letter froa the Greenbrier White
Sulphur Springs says: Zone of the
most recent and interesting stories con-
corning the influence of bowers Leap
over the heartsof q man has to do with
a romantic and impnlsive youth who
proposed to a young girl here after a
few days acquaintance, He seemed to
be simply frenzied with the intensity
of his affection, and was wholly ancon
scious of how brief the period of his
acquaintance with the obiectaof his af-
fections had been. He thought, of
course, that he had known her for CEN
turtles, and that their souls must be
mingled in some previous existence.
The young girl was more l~eYel-headed
and more arithmetical, and she begged
to call the young mans attention TO
the fact that only f~orty-eighth hours had
elapsed since they had the privilege Of
first gazing on each other, and intimated
that she would prefer to know him q
little better before deciding so serious
a question as the one he had PROFOUND
ed. He replied with a good deal of I'M
tense feeling that he would concede
anything in reason that would lead to
the accomplishment of the desire of
his heart and life, but intimated in turn
that the rate of board per day at the
hotel was rather high, and that if he
much waiting to do he preferred to
wait at something less than $5Aa day,
and concluded by making the very
brilliant suggestion that they might
transfer their residence in the meantime
to a less costly establishment, and she
might get acquainted with him at her
leisure without trepidation on his part
on account of a constantly increasing
hotel bill. This interesting story, like
all real love stories, finished with all
appropriate happiness, the girl being
won so completely by the youths nal
vette that she accepted him on the
spot, and presumably they will be mar,
ried in the fall and keep house under
the most economical conditions posi-
ble."

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. |
CHARLESTON, S. c., May 1S.-There is a
very sensational story afoat here which
has caused great excitement among several
people, who swear to the truth of it.
Several weeks ago man of very retired
habits of life appeared in Charleston. He
claimed to be Russian count of small
means seeking health and quiet. He lodged
IN quiet part of the city with a valet, who
was scarcely ever seen. The valet was
taken sick after their arrival in the CITY.
Although his illness appeared to be quite
serious, the nobleman refused to call in
medical assistance.
This created little suspicion. Yester-
day gentleman living in the same hotel in
Vestlgated the case. He found, to his as
constituent, that the valet was Young
woman. She was being slowly poisoned
with morphine She prayed the gentle
man to take her away from the count"
who, she said, was only common tailor
from the west named Gumpy, of Cincin-
matt. He intended to kill her. The woman
refused to give her name or tell why the
count wished her out of the way.
Finding he could not get a satisfactory
story from the woman, the gentleman left
to inform the authorities and the proprietor
OF the hotel. The room was visited again
IN about half an hour and found to be
empty. The sick valet and Count
Gumpy had disappeared. They have not
been heard of since, although 4 diligent
search has been made

and never to place his body on ice. This
Mrs Bishop says, was because, knowing
his liability to fall into condition
resembling death, he feared he might either
be killed by shock, or be frozen to death
in an undertakerS ice chest.
AS to the paper which he is said to have
carried constantly on his person, and when
was addressed to physicians in general, and
which embodied these same requests he mad
so often made, Mrs. Bishop declared that
he had not only had such paper, but that
he had it with him on the Saturday night
when he left Philadelphia, the Saturday
night prior to the Sunday night on which ne
was taken i'll. He left her home at o'clock
that night. she said, and the last thing be-
fore starting said: "Now, mother, my
paper to the DOCTORS" This paper not only
contained the three requests about the cut
ting, the electricity and the ice, but it also
contained his mothers address in Philadel-
phia.
Mrs. Bishop said she had recently re
moved to her present residence and that her
son had inserted the new street and num-
Der in the place of the old in this same
open letter to doctors. Whether he had
that paper on his person when he died, Mrs.
Bishop does not know, but she says she
does know to certainty that he had it
with him when he left Philadelphia on the
night before he was taken i'll. When Bishop
died his papers and the valuables he had
on his person were taken in charge by Mr..
Richie, Mrs. Bishop says, and were locked
up in the safe of the Lambs chief If the
papers of warning to the doctors was in his
pocket that night, it will be found among
them.

Mr. Lrstfce Miller to Retire.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch ]
WASHINGTON, May 18.-Ia judicial and
political circles it is confidently stated that
the President will soon have to fill not one
but two vacancies on the supreme bench OF
the United States, the second one being
caused by the retirement of Justice Miller.
Who will fill the present empty chair is still
a matter for conjecture, with all the prob
abilities in favor of Attorney General Mil
Ter: but as to the place now occupied by
Justice Miller, no name has as yet been
suggested to the President, but that
of ex-Secretary of War George W.
McCreary, and his sponsor was the justice
himself. At present, the justice believes he
will retire early in December, and he is
really most anxious that his friend Nc
Ceary succeed him. Thirty years ago,
when Judge Muller was practicing law in
Keokuk, he took McCreary into his Office
and there laid the foundation for the broad
legal knowledge which McCreary is now
credited with having in his possession. Mr.
McCreary is now general counsel to the
Atchison, Topeka y Santa F'e Railroad
company.

NEW LIGHT ON PHRENOLOGY.
Some Of It's Teachings Found to Have Firm
Scientific Basis.

1t is curious fact that modern research
appears about to establish firm scientific
basis for some of the teachings of phrenol
ogy Just at a time when that doctrine has
passed almost entirely out of vogue. At
the Antropological Institute in London some
time since Mr. Bernard Hollander read a
paper on centers of ideatiOn, bringing to-
gether the results of many experiments in
applying galvanic currents to different
parts of the brain.
1t has been pointed out, for instance, by
various trained observers that the emotion
of. Joy throws into action the great zygo-
matte muscles which draw the mouth up
ward and backward, while at the same lime
the Obicular muscles are more or less con-
tracted. Now it has been found that there
is a detinate portion of the brain where a
galyaniC current produces exactly this effect
upon the same muscles, although a current
applied elsewhere does not move them.
1t is thus apparent that the effect of a
galvanic current upon this portion of the
brain is to produce the physical expression
of JOY, and it is exactly in this place that
COmbe located his organ of cheerfulness,
which he afterwards called hope. Another
learned professor has stated that the brain
centers for the facial movements are found
to correspond with Calls center for MIN
icry or imitation. In still different spot
the galvanic current will cause movements
Of the lips, tongue and cheeks, indicating
that here must be the seat of gustatOry SEN
sation. In the year 1924, when phrenology
was attracting great attention, many men
claimed to have discovered the organ of
gustativeness or alimentiveness, which
they located over the same spoe
There is also another center where the
current causes contraction of a certain mus
Gle which retracts the angle of the mouth,
and is strongly contracted under the intlu-
ence of fear, and for this reason has re-
ceived the name of the muscle of fright.
1t is in this region that Gall and Spurzhe,m
located their organ of cautiOusness, viii n
they found largely developed in timid PEG
pie. There is still another center which,
when excited by the current, S said to
cause raising of the shoulders with eX-
tension of the arms, and both Darwin and
MantegazZa have long since referred this
gesture to 1.-The expression of patience, sub
mission and the absence of any intention to
resist" Just here was placed Calls organ
of generation, and when this is defective
in children, Combe says they are regard
less of authority, prone to rebellion and
little attentive to command.
1t would seem, from the facts gathered
and compared by Mr.. Hollander, that the
founders of what we are accustomed to
consider as the Anticipated system of phren
olOgy, though unable in what was the state
of knowledge at that time to demonstrate
their conclusions, must have been extremely
shrewd and careful observers of all the
facts which lay within their reach, and
that the theories which they based upon
these observations are well worth careful
denomination in the light of modern
science.
