Mr.. Conway mentions in the Cincin-
natl Commercial, "a very remarkable
achievement of Mr.. Francis Galton, the
distinguished author of Hereditary
Genius and other works. He can take
the likeness of family, or even tribe.
1 have just interviewed Mr.. Cation
about it, and am able to state with GER
tainty that not only is he successful, but
his method is perfectly simple. He takes
an album of photographs containing an
entire family and all their connections.
The apparatus being arranged as it
would be for taking a copy of photo
graph, the time for copying one Is
equally distributed to all. The cap IS
quickly put on and taken off as leaf
after leaf of the album is opened. Each
photograph is slightly taken, and on top
of the previous one, and in the end all
of the family have been brought into a
single picture. This one picture looks
like living person. 1t is somewhat
like each, but still distinct! 1t is the
average family type.

The second day of the Investigation was
consumed in the ecross-examination of James
+. Anderson. 1t was largely devoted to an
endtavor to convict the witness of discrep-
aneies between his testimony on the first
day and the statements heretofore made by
him before the Senate Investigating Com.
mites that visited Louisiana. The contracts
between Anderson and Nash and between
Anderson and Weber were largely used for
the purpose of showing contradictions and
discrepancies and disregard of moral con.
siderations ON the part of the witness. For
instance, he had stated on the first day
in relation to the Nash contract,
that at the time of its date
he had no evidence of fraud in his pos.
session, and had not pretended that he had,
and yet the contract recites that he is to
suppress evidence showing that East
Feliciana had been fairly carried by the
Democratic party, the consideration for
such suppression being that Nash was to
secure for him the position of Naval Officer.

A friends frown is better than the
smile of fool.


Do,nothipg to-day that you will repent
of tomorrow.


Envy-Punishing ourselves for being
inferior to others.


People often affect to be out of hui
NOR, to appear of consequence.


He hath a good judgment who doth
not rely entirely upon his own.


Foolhardiness is not seldom the self
disguise of conscious cowardice.


Better a soft heart and an iron hand
than an iron heart and soft hand.


Account him thy friend who desires
thy good rather than thy good will.


1t is very foolish for people to put
themselves to the trouble of being i'll
natured.


A brave man is one who is not afraid
to wear old clothes until he can afford to
buy new.


There is nothing more necessary than
to know how we may bear the tedious
moments of life.


Do nothing in thy passion; why wilt
thou put out upon the sea while the
storm is raging.
A man may say a thing twice if he
saws it better the second time than he
was able to the first.


The praises of others may be of use in
teaching us not what we are, but what
we should be.


Disdain not your inferior, though
poor, since he may possibly be much
your superior in wisdom.


The practical joker is one who thinks
that you are fool because you don't
know he is knave.


We are more apt to use spectacles te
behold other mems faults than looking
i glasses to survey our own.


Manly spirit, as it is generally called
is often little else than the froth ano
foam of hard-mouthed insolence.


There is nothing that sooner over
throws a weak head than the opinion O
authority; it is like too strong iiquo
in frail glass.
Definite principles and qualities ar
realized only when we are placed il
definite positions and when we grappl
with definite objects.

A MOB Of lynchers in Germantown,
California, took poor devil of horse
thief from the Jail, and forced him to
kneel on the head of a barrel, while
they tried their craftsmanship on him
with revolvers. One after another tried
their pistols until bullet hit him in the
shoulder and he fell from the barrel.
Then he was tied to tree, and the sport
was continued until the man was fin
ished. Compared with this, horse-steal-
ing is manly and respectable occupa-

BALD MOUNTAIN has cracked crown,
but is as quiet and peaceful as baby.
There has been neither earthquake nor
volcano, but there has been shrinkage
OF the mountain sides, owing probably
to continued wet weather, and there is
now crack about one hundred yards in
length. about four feet in width, and
of unknown depth. The crevice, which
runs nearly due east and west, isparallel
with and but short distance from the
brow Of the precipice which marks the
southern boundary of the mountain.

LADIES, it has been remarked, as
general rule, imagine that care in put
ting away furs is all that is required;
they think they can wear them when
and how they please, provided they
spend few pence for camphor, then
lay them aside. This idea should be
corrected. More harm is done to furs
by wearing them for week after the
weather has become warm than during
the whole cold season. When they are
put aside they should be brushed the
right way with soft brush, an old
linen handkerchief folded smoothly
over them, and a piece of gum camphor
kept in the box all the time, to scare in
truders in the shape of moths.

MAYOR SToKLEY, of Philadelphia,


Is determined that il the turbulent peo-
pie in that city attempt any disturbances
this summer they will have an exceed
ingly warm reception. He has received
four hundred breech-loaders from the
Secretary Of War; has drilled his police
until they are now a fine military body,
but he has not finished yet, for he pro-
poses to purchase some Gatling guns,
for the reason, as he told areporter, that
you can clean the street so well with
them" Since Mayor Stokley has made
these preparations it is quite likely that
he will never be called upon to make
use OF them, for nothing so impresses a
mob as the knowledge that they are
sure of prompt treatment if they
break out"

places the weeds have encroached
upon the sidewalks; in some local
tiles rubbish has accumulated, and
in front of the houses of some ex.
ceedingly dirty people garbage has
been thrown. Frequently, too, the
shade trees-magnificent peppers
have been neglected and the
branches have grown so low as to
cause Inconvenience to passers
on the sidewalk. On Main
street, near a certain fashionable
livery stable, there Is a very dan
geyous hole in the middle of the
sidewalk.

''While Dr. Kennedy has proved himself an excellent physician and discovered the most valuable medicine ever offered to an afflicted public, it must not be forgotten that he de- servedly stands second to none in this country as a surgeon"

 For instance we would cite the case of Mir, Abram Ellsworth, of Port Ewen, Ulster Co.,, N. Y., who had suffered for more than TwEN- TT years from the pain incident to a disease involving the greater portion of the left thigh bone, and during all this time he had been kept in blissful ignorance by the many doctors who had treated him of the real cause of his suffering. He often expressed to the author of this article that he had not experienced the pleasure of one whole nights sleep in twenty years. Although cripple, and suffering pain and the inconvenience O carrying an almost useless limb, he has acquired competency far beyond what most of men would have done under similar circumstances. Mir. Ellsworth was induced to consult Dr. Kennedy, who at once realized the situation, and plainly and frankly told the sufferer that the disease had so far advanced toward the body that nothing was left for him to do but submit to amputa- tion of the leg Consequently, on the 18th of May, 1871, in presence of, and by the assis- tance of several medical gentlemen, Dr. Ken nedy amputated the leg about three inches be- low the hip joint. The bone was found to be PcIoCtiy TOtIcn ITom one enu Io the other, ana thus proved the correctness of Dr. Kennedy's diagnosis. Mir. Ellsworth made rapid recov- cry. and remains to this day the perfect pie ture of health.

 Dr. Kennedy does not hesitate to say that the happy result of this and other cases of a similar character was due to the use of the Favorite Remedy. It was this medicine that purified the Blood. It was this that regulated the Liver and Kidneys, and thus gave tone and strength to the system which had become debilitated by the disease, and in this way pre- venting a return of the disease which necessi- tated so dangerous an operation.

 Favorite Remedy is now for sale by all our druggists, at One Dollar bottle. 34-4w
