BILL'S BUMPSllKPLORED. MR. NYE CONSULTS A PHRENOLO GIST AND IS EXPOSED. Be Did It Once Before, sad Was In duced to Become a Lawyer with. Dis astrous Results to Himself and a Narrow Escape for the Law. Copyright, 1890, by Edgar W. Nye. In order to note the advancement made by the great science of phrenology in the past thirty yeara I went yesterday to visit the leading phrenologist of the United States, and no doubt of the world. Frankly I must confess that it waa a case of going quietly to scoff and remaining to pray, for I don't believe tfiat Inspector Byrne3 ia "on to me" with more fidelity or accuracy than the venerable bump manipulator of Broad way, who has been at it for forty-five years and who turned me over yester day. , There ia one thing about me which arouses my admiration, and that "is that when I am detected and overtaken and discovered in the delictu business and handcuffed to a large cook stove I know enough to surrender. I am not hide bound, but always open to conviction and sentence. Thirty years or so ago I took my moth er to a phrenologist to have her head looked over, feeling that aa a parent she was not proving the success that I had hoped for, and after I had counted out six dozen egg3 for him, which I had brought to pay him for the work, he offered to examine my head and give me a written schedule of ib for two-pounds of butter which I still had left over. He wanted to please my mother, and so he spoke highly of my talents high er than they deserved, I think. Ho was a plain man, with a 6tern and rocky air, like that of one who has been playing the first act of -"The Prodigal Son" all his life, and waiting for tho letter that never came, asking him home to Bpend the holidays. He said I had a high "forward," whicn reminded him of that of Daniel Web ster, whom . ho once examined. I said that we were often mistaken for one an other. This phrenologist had A very hairy and Castle Garden air, and when his paper collar peeped out from his jungle of common, plastering hair yon could see that when lie liked a collar he stuck to it Phrenology where I lived in these days had hardly risen to the position of a 6cieneo. It was merely a "job." This man, whom I will call Professor Biltong, had to combine other things with his phrenology, such a3 chiropody and the sale of fruit trees. Phrenology at that time wue found often combined with astrology and phlebotomy. In those days men had not learned to add physiognomy and a general knowl edge of human nature to the science of phrenology, and thus read a man as we would read a hotel register. It was. for that reason, perhap3, that Professor Biltong erred in reading me with a far away look, and marking out for me a future. occupation to which 1 was best adapted. Possibly it may interest the reader, especially the boy or young man who- reads this, if I tell him briefly how Pro fessor Biltong erred in my case and how he caused me thereby much annoyance and would have cost me a great deal of money if I had had it at tho time. If any one can be led to profit by my errors and thus dodge them at my expense I am only too glad to aid him. ..Professor Biltong said that I would make a powerful and eloquent lawyer. He said that alimentiveness, ideality and secretiveness were just the right size to make a good lawyer, and that with the Websteriaa dashboard which I had, cou pled with great inhabitiveness, could not fail to jar the entire structure of the bar, together with the crackers and cheese standing on the end thereof. Lie rambled around over the site where my hair was waving a long farewell to friends and kindred, and he said, as I looked np boyiike into hi? massive and somewhat self made - whiskers: "You would make a good United States sena tor if you had the means, but you would make a better lawyer. It is better to be a good lawyer than a poor senator. Be sides, it will take a good many eggs at the present price to get you to the sen ate, and long before yon received your credentials your poor overworked hens would curl up in their inlaid ne3ts and quit "So let us not think of going to the senate. Possibly we Can find some one AT THE PHRENOLOGIST'S. else to go. You had better be a lawyer. Your caution and love cf approbation would keep yon oat of the penitentiary, and fat the same time win the approval of your clients and the jury. Your voice is magnetic, and your physique of that peculiar flexible, mobile and reversible order which would look well etuffed. "Do not despair, but gem to win. Yon would make a very good piano tuner, of course, having a vaaltk of ear, though lackinz in oualitT: fcsS vsa have- the proper integument of skull, tho sinuosi ties of cerebral convolutions, the phi loprogenitiveness, the awe, tho self es teem and the eocibativeness necessary to make you a good lawyer, and oa who will make himself felt and known from the tough and rocky chores of your New England birthplace to the dimpled feet of tho snow capped Sierras." - With that he ceased, and saying that it waa hia hour for dinner ho took from his pocket a copy of The Boston Whigr inclosing a cheese sandwich and large, warty cucumber pickle cut in i, and be gan to stow it away among M3 beard. I at once proceeded to prepare myself for the law. First I had to brush up a little in long division and spelling. This I did by taking a preparatory course at t A "Th 1' Jk-j i pa:iiiLj- f fSSpttpiil- r the Tidd school. This was called the Tidd school because it was endowed, by him during the plum season, without his knowledge, however, and we carried water from his well to quench the never dying thirst of the school. , . Closing my term there with high honors and a baritone voiced which I can not accouut for to this day, I got a place to study law and tidy np the cuspidors for a country lawyer whose name and memory are green and beautiful yet in the warmest corner of my heart While I did not make a lawyer of my self , it wa3 not his fault. It was my own. And Biltong should have told ma so on the Btart. That's what I paid him for. But in those days every boy who weiti big hat and got tired easily with manual toil was set aside for the minis try or the law. That's why so many sleeping cars are attached to the gospel trains today, and so many lawyers hang by the gills to politics and eatrump steak with thankful hearts. BEFORE THE COMMITTEE. Listening to the siren song of Pro fessor Biltong I read Blackstone all one summer, and his thrilling remarks about the right of piscary and the fee simple and fee tail and seisin which marred the history of the common law of England. I tried, oh, so hard, to cuddle ud to Jus tinian and to get intimate with Coke, and to enjoy commons of Estorers and commons of Turbary. Meantime I swept out the office, ran of errands, got my board bill and trou sers receipted and looked forward to the time when I should shake the resolution of the most stubborn and strong hearted juror that ever drew his little old $3 a day. Pays grew into weeks, weeks expanded into years' I was still reading one day what I easily forgot the next, thus stor ing my youthful mind with large quan tities of echoing space which haveince been very usefol to me for other pur poses. ' - Now came the time, after two years of this sort of work, when people thought I ought to be "admitted." They talked as if it would be purely a matter of form; that I ought not to wait, for every mo ment I staid outside of the profession was a loss to tho American people. The committee did not seem to think so., I went away by stage to a desolate and threadbare county seat somewhere, and laid out my Utile stock of nnripe knowledge before that committee, and they sampled it one after another and gently took me one side, and instead of telling me, as they might, most truthful ly, to go home and never fool with the law any more, they hated to hurt my feelings, and so they told me to study some more on this point and brush up on that, and so on. So I "returnedsold a pet heifer, and buying a set of Kent's Commentaries and a nice warm pair of kip boots read another six months and did general jan itor work around the office, also draw ing deeds, mortgages and portraits of the senior member of the firm. At the end of that time I began to think I ought to get examined again. Every spring and fall term I would go through this ordeal, and then get bound over for examination the following term. Finally it got to be a part of the calen dar. When the court was waiting for a witness or a juror it would put in the time by examining me. This ran on so for some time till I got tired of it and fled. In a new field, where the oScials were being appointed by the president, and some of them knew less even than I did, 1 felt at home right away, and finally one glad day in summer, with a joyful heart, though with many scars on the places where previous committees had knocked the bark off my soul, I signed the book and became a lawyer. One of the old committee has kindly told me since that it made his heart bleed to refuse me, and that if he'd known how little damage I would do as a lawyer and how quiet I'd have been about it, blamed if he wouldn't have sus pended the rules in my case and moved tny admission. Now I do not blame phrenology for this, but Professor Biltong, who should have seen that while I had some ef the prerequisites for a lawyer I lacked one great essential, and that was the ability to repeat a law, a ruling or a defi nition in the exact language of anybody else. . That ignorance on his part cost me many a reluctant, evasive and finally tear dimmed dollar, and came verv near landing me in the lap of an overworked and overburdened public, one of the most pitiful objects known to the ento mologist, viz., a pettifogger. " If this letter were not already too per sonal I would add the stenographic and geological report made on my head yes terday.
