"Ah, the phrenologist, eh? com mund him to linu with us to-moirow evening." Next rvenin tlio King received tho Doctor affably, and thy sat down to dinner with a ilozsn oonvivrs, all bl.izing with decorations and uniforms but constrained in manner and con-vt-rsatiou. "Doctor," said the King;, at tha conclusion of the repast, "Pray let us see something ot your wondurftil skill. Examine thuso gentlemen's heads and tell me frankly what you think of their characters and disposi tions from t! e indications ntl'orded by their cranial developments." Gall arose and felt tho head of his neighbor on the right, a stout, pow friul man in n resplendent uniform who had been addressed as "Grant." "Speak frankly." said the king, see ing that the phrenologist seemed u little embarassed. "His Excellency," said Gall, "must bo passionately addicted to to field sports and exciting pleasures; ho has a 'decided fi'iiey for for tho battle field, and" The king smiled, and pointed the phrenologist to tl.e other neighbor a email, alert, keen eyed man in his di ploinntie costume. " This gentleman;" said tho Doctor, " hum is iui expert in gymnast c exercises, an accomplished pedestrian; very neat and graceful in all opera tions requiring manual dexterity " " Enough," said tho King, rapping on tho tables, and, as a score ot sol dieis entered, ho continued to the stupefaction of Dr. Gall, ''Remove ihcHu gentlemen to their cells. Allow mo to put in plain language what yon were mhielani to say. The general is a miii deiei under seutcncc,and your other neighbor is the must expert pick pocket nnd cut throat in all Prus hia, who has eluded capture on innu moiablo ocensious, Examine your pockets." Thu Doctor did so. and found that his handkerchief, purse, watch and snuir box had disappeared. They were all returned to him next day, with a complimentary letter from the King ami a costly snuir box bearing Frederick's portrait cut in biilliants. Boorislinm. N. Y. Sun. With a party ol friends, including several ladies, General Ulysses ts. Grant dined, the other evening, in the public dining hall cf the Palmer House. Ol course, when bis pres ence b. cainu known, the guests ol the hotel made a point to dine at the same hour. The room was full ol fashionably dressed men and woman. Grant'- demeanor at the table was watched with i -Mural curiosity, iu or der to a.-ceilain how lar his manners had been improved by travel and in tercourse wiih the upper circles of European society. The table at which General Grant and his liien Js were seated waB re mote Ironi the entrance ot the room.

The ladies of Graut's party wore somewhat em barrassed, aud hastily made prtpara lions to depart. Grant, howtTir, exhibited perfect unconcern. He got up when lriends arose, and slowly walked the length of the room, puffing vigorously away. As soon as the ex-Piesident'a parly had disappeared, and the murmur of disgust had subsided, a commercial traveler, who had been sitting uot far Ironi Grant, drew a cigar from his pocket, lighted it, an I sauntered down the room. "'Ihis is a frco country," ho remarked, "and one citi zen is as good as au .ther.here or auy. where else." TLe occurrence was witnessed by more than a hundred peoplo, aud is till the talk of the hotel.

Geneva, Deo. 8, Cort Rochester Democrat. An attempt at suicido at llobart College, Geneva, was made Saturday night, the circuinsinueca concerning which were not made public until Monday morning. During Saturday evening a strong smell ot escaping gas pervaded the apartments ot the students in one ot the building at llobart College, and at last the smell became so unbearable that nn investi gation was made, and upon opening the door of a room occupied by- a young man named Ilutohinsoii the gas poured out so as to almost lutl'o cat the investigators. Upon titer ing the gas waa lound turned on and the burner or tip broken off, and upon tho floor lay the occupant, Hutchinson, In an unconscious state. He was remove I at onco and medical aid summoned. Upon examination it was found that tho iuside of bis mouth and throat were badly burned. Everything was done to make him comfortable, but he was iu a very daugeruiis condition. It is feared that the burning will aflect his taste and speech. There is no doubt that he whs out of his mind when he did this act. Ho has acted very pecii Marly tor some time past, and many have doubted his sanity and spoken ot it. Tli theory is that he got upon the table, placed his mouth over thu lighted gas jets, clinched his teeih upon the tip, biting it oil' and becoming unconscious trom tie effects of the gas, fell to the floor. Mr. Hutchinson is a young man about twenty-one years of age, a rcsideul of Chicago, and a member ot the class of 'Si, llobart College; also a member of the Chi Phi So ciety. Mr. Hutchinson will be re moved to his home as soon as practi cable. The a flail has created com id erable excitement at the college aud throughout the village. Bankers in Congress.

"Whv. at the Third Congress of the United Slates, held at Philadel phia in 171M, the Senate passed a res olution as follows: "Any person holding any ollioe or any stock in any institution in tho nature of a bank for issuing or discounting bills r notes payable to bearer or order, can not be a member ot the House while he holds such oflice or stock. ''I never heard ot that before," I acknowledged, "It caiiuot bo that it became a law." "Certainly it did," Mr. Cooper per sisted. "It passed the Senate with but two dissenting otes, and passed the House and became a law hero 'tis. beariii'' the signature ot George Washington, rresideiit, ami John Adams, Vice President, approving of it." "Why," 1 asked, "when was it re nealed." "It never was repealed never," he exclaimed, "and is on the statute books as a law ta day. This is a day when Congress doesn't obey laws. "You can state it, it you wish, in my name," said Mr. Cooper. "Aud it is violated every ilay. an Erratic Stnalor. Philadelphia Record. Ex Senator Goldwaithe of Ala U ma. was noted for his absent mind edness, and he was occasionally seen running about the Senate trying to cot out and not being able to find the door. He would have hall the page boys in the Senate hunting his cane, which would be all the whi'.t firmly clasped iu his hand. He was inucb given to walking up ana uowu me lobby, plunged iu deep thought, of ten smoking a flagrant Havaua, and entirely oblivious of all things about htm. Often some cneeay page ot the Senate would walk up and ask the Senator for a light. Mr. Gold waithe would mechanically hand over his cigar, the boy would lake a light, put the choice weed in his mouth and hand over the stump to the old gentleman, who would con tinue his stroll iu blissful ignoranoe. It is related on good authority that, iu one ot his fits ot abstraction, he walked into the Senate elevator, dropped a nickel into a hole back ol the mirror and calralv requested lo be let out at "II" street.

To a friend who apoke to him about it this week, he said. "Wo be hove much concerning tho future, but we know nothing whatever. 1 lo not believo there is a bell, where luinan buings are to bo enchained forever, because the conception is devilish not divine. I would not de vise or construct a place or condition ot endless ptini limeut of any kind, and, as my God is infinitely bettor and kinder than auy human being, I know he has uot. We must inter- prelGod by the highest and better that is within ourselves, apd tt our conception talis below that, wo must, conclude we are mistaken in the por traiture, and try again." This is only one ot the JJeccntrian heresies, but it is enough to explain the alleged anxiety of the devout Ad- ward Iieeober,wno, it is said, has beea for many years greatly distressed about "the slats of lloury's soul."
