HUWn OBSERVATIONS.
H. T. Griffith and W. L. Strange
who gave lectures and exhibitions of
phrenology here last week, departed
early Sunday morning several dollars to |
the bad. Their free discourses were
very meagerly patronized and the pay
affair had only an infajj>handful. The
two men certainly live up to the name
of the private secretary, of the duo,
Strange by name. Griffith acts like
one possessed of the evil spirit and
takes pride in deriding everyone and
everything but himself. His pd is no
better. They announce that they will
soon start up a publication in San
Francisco with the title “ Onward and
Upward.”
But "Downward and Out

probably be a more appropriate name.
