Show MR. TlLDEN'3 CHARACTER- A I'M PENOLOGIST'S OPINION OF TIIK NEXT rUEJIUENT. Phrenological Journal. Phrcnolo-gically Phrcnolo-gically coniidercd, ho has an organization organi-zation which is fine-grained and very seuiiitivo to external and internal influences. in-fluences. Ho (eels deeply, strongly, yet is able to keep a placid exterior iiid hold tbo mind, or the manifest a tiont ot it, under good cmtrol. He would rarely appear to be taken at limit or by surprise, being generally tfclf-posecsscd and on tbe alert. Ilia high, full forehead shows much more than average ability to appreciate appreci-ate facts promptly at the first glance, and ho is more inclintd to grasp their significance by a direct instinctive actiou of the mind than logo through a plodi'.ing course of analysis. He forms his judgment first aud verities it by tho details afterwards. lie is therefore an excellent reader of character, able to judge of strangers strang-ers at a glance. If bo were in a com mercial line of business, be would give credit or withhold it, according to bis improcsion of a stranger after a throe-minutes' interview, and ninety-nine ninety-nine times in a hundred he would be correct He has much method and regularity regular-ity in hie mental composition; everything every-thing which he plans to do is planned like machinery consecutively, systematically. sys-tematically. He has an excellent memory ol historic events, and wilh bis large comparison and order can bring all the facta and circumstance connected with a given mailer into such consecutive relation that they seem natural and harmonious; thus, aa a writer or Bpeaker his suitemsnts would have the appearance of plausibility plausi-bility and truth. Some men .cannot rccito ihe plaiucat trutba without seeming to be inharmonious and contradictory. He has stronc avmoathv: is as tender and gentle in sentiment as I most women. Children like him, 1 and DeU of tbe household behave in him and come for protection to him, and though he is firm, prudent and ! plucky, he carries bis aiXiirs in such I a way as to produce on tho minds of I children and animals the idea that i he is gentle, forgiviug and patient. ! Men who are strong and wicked will awaken more of his bravery, force and angularity, but weak net-s always finds iu him obtuse angles, smooth-i smooth-i nesB and consideration. I In disposition and tone of mind he resembles more bis mother, or the feminine side, than his father. He may havo the middle face of the father, and the middle or executive department of his brain may also be of the father's stamp, but he has in general three maternal elements of mind and character to one paternal. He eliould be known for thoroughness thorough-ness and precision of thought and action, and for a certain sort of nice-ness nice-ness or esthetic accuracy in his expression ex-pression of thought and leeling. He should be distinguished for caso and urbanity of manner and for a delicacy deli-cacy of accommodation which wins acquaintances and friends. We do not deem him to be wanting in courage cour-age to meet and master difficulliea; but he is watchful with respect to hia words and conduct, especially prudent pru-dent in bis decisions and actions, and more guarded about dauger and difficulty diffi-culty than is always profitable. A Warning to Girls. Dr. Mary Walker was parading the Btrcele of Washington, the other diy, wilh Ihe usual crowd of boys straggling alter and crying, "See them panta." "Oh, here's fun!" Feeling thirsty, the doctor passed into a house and aBked a couple of girls for a drink of water. The girls at first screamed, thinking j that the doctor was a mn. The doc- tor reassured lliem, and repeated her request lor water. The girls were then so overcome with giggling that tboy could do nothiDg but direct the doctor to tbe pump iu the yard, forgetting for-getting tbe presence of a largo Newfoundland New-foundland dog. Mary tripped out to the pump, and bent over to gt J i ,V r2rr-tnr ,t. '-"-a Ihe strange creature in Ihe yard than lit nabbed, arter the fashion of all dogs, at the angle of the bend. Tbe figure etraigblened up very suddenly, and there was some screaming and struggling. A good deal of damage was done to the pants, and the dog waq finally made to relinquish hie bold. It is hoped that this will be a terrible warning lo any giddy girl like the doctor who may fancy that she would look well in breeches. Boston Post. |
