Flirtation Musings.
, From the Albany Argus.
A crowded room; enchanting beauty,
In the waltz, glides here and there,
To strains of sweet delicious music,
Floating softly on the air.
Small hands held In firmer grasp;
. Pulses beating; light feet flying;
Melting glances, softly given;
Music swelling, fading, dying.
Thus we dance; and then fair Pussy,
Leaning lightly on my arm,
Says, "Oh, dear I Let us stop dancing,
For Oh, dear ! it's awful warm !"
Then we leave -the dancing throng,
And go out into the night,
To a quiet, shady corner,
Where we are quite hid from sight
There we sit and talk sweet nonsense,
Till I feel my heart grow bolder;
Then I steal my arm 'round Pussy,
With her brown head on my shoulder.
Once again we Join the dancers,
And I notice smiles and glancing
Giyen me (but why I know not)
By the revellers near us dancing.
Then fair Pussy, looking upward
vTo answer something I have said,
Takes in at once the situattoo-r-Drops
her eyes her face grows red.
Out Into the night once more,
The music's strains still growing louder;
"How horrid t'. Pussy says: "Just look 1
Your shoulder's white as snow with powder !"

Helen Tracy, playlne the heroine In "The Gilded

the pistol wouldn't shoot The predicament was
awkward. She clubbed the pistol, and walked up

handle. He dropped dead: But when she started
back In affected horror and cast the pistol upon the
floor, the thing went off close to her feet making
her screamed with fright

Phrenology an Unmitigated Humbug.
Washington Post
A correspondent, who signs himself a
k.frolessor ot .Phrenology, desires to
know by what authority The Post pro
nounces his "profession" an unmitiga
ted humbug. We desire to mlorm the
professor that we do so on the authori
ty ot knowledge and common sense.
We repeat that what is popularly
known as phrenology is a vile swindle,
and that the men who "profess" it for
their own personal gain are a set of
quacks and tricksters, entirely inno
cent of any real conception of the doc
trines which they pretend to advocate.
So ignorant are phrenologists of the
principles of anatomy that they have
located six of their most delicate oreans
form, size, weight, color, order and cal
culation precisely where there is no
brain-matter whatever. They are lo
cated over and around the eye. This
space is occupied by the frontal and fa
cial sinuses cavities, as the name sig
nifies where there, is no brain-matter
that can come in contact with the skull.
A thick bone partition separates the
brain from the frontal sinuses. These
facts alone, and they are easily verified,
are suthcient to overthrow the whole
theory. Again, it is claimed that the
elevation or "bumps ot the skuu repre
sent the comparative size of the convo
lutions of the brain immediately be
neath them. Now, the brain is com
posed of two kinds of matter the gray,
or nervous portion, and the white Sci-
entihcallv SDeakmsr. thev are the smen-
tious and. medullary portions, and it is
iiiHossioie w aetermme iroin me con
formation of the skull what is the rela
tive proportion of the one to the other
at any particular point, as ah intelligent
surgeon will testify. This is another
argument wrhich overthrows the whole
system of phrenology. Still again : If
we take all these convolutions, of ihe
brain which occur between the two hem
ispheres of the brain and between thse
and the cerebellum, and add those at
5the base of the brain, we have a greater
number than are found next the skull.
They are, however, precisely like the
latter, and are quite as significant in
the determination of one's character.
Thus the phrenologist is able to read
less thanialf the character of. any liv
insr obiecti because the major portion of
his data is inaccessible But the falla
cy is made evident from the fact that if
he could gain access to these convoiu
tions he could not find faculties of the
mind to assign them, as he has 'used
them all ud for those that occur on the
nntsidp: "VVA '.felnfiflfftW hobe that . th6

After the Summer Jaunt.
LouisvUle Courler-JournaL ' .
The summer wanderers always return
hi September, The Children must be
brought into the school traces again.?
The girls who have flaunted their,
brightest charms at the watering-places
must get ready for the Winter cam
paign and count the lovers they, have
won in moonlight wants ana nuanieht
talks by the thunderous sea surge and
beneath the whispers, of the darkling
greenery. The matron shakes. the dust
out of her parlor curtains and lets the
inside of the house see1 the sunlight
again and be swept by persistent breez
es. Even dilettanti have their Septem
ber duties. Fashions change, and they
change with them. So the people who
have been able to get away and look in
to new scenes and faces come back
ready for their manifold duties.
Maniioia .duties, indeed i This tall
and winter will give manifold duties to
every one. It has been a summer when
uod s acre has been tilled to bursting
with poor dead bodies, if, as is said!
the Tree of Life reaches its roots far
down into the ashes of the dead into
the mansions of the - dead this sum
mer's work of death has made that
deathful soil many a fathom deep, and
from this deathful soil comes nourish
ment to the living. Strange, and yet
trite. But alas! there remains a train
and trail of living woe after the fiery,
feverish pageant of this eventful sum
mer ,will have passeda way. Thes courge,
indeed, will die when the mercury
slides lower down the tube, but congre
gations of helpless ones will be left who
will need the careful tending ' of the
hand of charity, almost as much as
when the plague strode triumphantly
from city to city, from house to house,
and numbered his victims by the hun
dred. ,
Therefore, must there needs be the
grace of unselfishness, the yielding up
of time and means and personal com
fort, indeed, just so long as the cry of
the bereft and homeless and helpless is
heard.
Herein is the field of mueh fall and
winter work. Let the very amuse
ments of the persistently gay and too
forgetting world become largely ancil
lary to the great motive of the day. Let
the maiden who has smiled through a
thousand summer waltzes and quad
rilles, and who, through the long, bright
days by sea, by lake, by river, and on
cloud-bedewed mountain top, has tor-
gotten all but her own happiness .waltz
for charity's sake and ply her dainty,
rosy fingers upon work which will send
more ringing ducats into the relief
fund.
So will the return from summer wan
dering be thrice blessed. So will the
common reproach to our selfish human
ity be done away. So will the fragmen
tary families who have come through
the fierce sirocco of deadly poisoned air
be given the cooling draught ; be cloth
ed, ted and made to reel that brother
hood has not died out of the old world.
Money in Registered Letters.
Washington Republican.
There is an impression prevailing
that it is safe to send money in regis
tered letters, and that, in case of loss,
the. government is responsible for the
amount. A gentleman at Port Huron,
Michigan, recently sent $25 in a regis
tered letter to his v.ife in Vermont.
The letter was received at the office of
delivery and a notice sent to the wife
to call for it. This notice was received
late m the evening, and the next morn
ing the lady called for it and was hand
ed that letter minus the money. The
office had been entered during the
night, her letter rifled, and about $500
in money and stamps stolen from the
office. The sender now seeks informa
tion from the department as to how he
is to proceed to recover the money tak
en from the letter. In reply he has
been informed that the postnoffice de-
)artment is not. responsible for money
ost.in the mails. Parties sending small
sums of money should do so by money
orders, which cannot be used if stolen.
Ad Old Story but a Good One.
Mr. Talmagetold a story : "In the
days of John Jacob Astor," he said, "a
man called upon him, armed with a re
volver. '1 am a Trench communist,
said he ; 1 believe in a distribution of
property, and I want some of your mon
ey, or your life. I believe money should
be equally divided."
" &o do 1, said Mr. Astor.
" 'You are said to be worth ten mil
lions,' said the man.
'Well, I suppose that is about the
sum, said Mr. Astor. jnow how many
people are there in the United States?'
About ten millions, l believe; said
the communist.
"'Now, how much would that be
each? About one dollar?' asked Mr.
Astor.
Yes, about," said the communist.
There's your dollar," said Astor,
laying down a bill," , .
. Hanging Over Niagara.
Henry Faxon, of Buffalo, never re
covered from a fright that Blondin
foolishly gave hirti, his nervous system
receiving a lasting sh6ck. Blondin was
about to start on ohe of his walks on a
rope across the chasm below Niagara

ing on the edge of the precipice over

motioning the by-standers for silence,
Seized Faxon under both arm-pits from
behind, and held him tor a second or
two over the verge. Faxon s counte
nance; when Blondin had laid hold of
hitri: was irradiated with mirth. When
iBlbndifi drew-him back and dropped
him on the green sward, he sanfc m a
heap, horror-stricken. In the next in
stant Blondin, grasping his heavy bal

' Work of an

mtro-glycerine was addressed to a lady
at San AngeL Mexico, and opened re
cently in the presence of six ladies and
gentlemen, killing every person but one.
The box was supposed to contain valu

Pope. No possible reason can be , as
signed for the assassination, unless, as
surmised, some discarded lover of the
lady to whom it was addressed took
this cruel method of revenge. '. ,
How the South Persecutes the Negro.
A preacher writing from Tennessee
to the St Paul Press says: When black
policemen parade the streets : of iQutp
era cities, carrying the badge of munici
pal authority, and white Democrats tax
themselves to educate negro children in
States where not long ago these blacks
were chattels, whom it was a penal
offence to teach to read, one cannot help
but think that the world does move,
Brother John Jasper to the contrary
notwithstanding. :

If a bilious subject deficient In stamina, or Irregu

increased, as these abnormal conditions are ex
tremely favorable to the contraction of malarial
disease. But this danger may be safely encounter
ed with the assistance of Hostetter's Stomach Bit

eradicates and prevents fevers of an intermittent

thorough and permanent reform of those enfeebled
or Irregular conditions of the system which invite
not only malaria, but other diseases equally to be
dreaded.
