PHRENOLOGICAL CHAT.

* The speaker will be understood to be the EYE, which tells many a tale otherwise untold. His station in a "COURT of COMMON PLEAS," may be considered somewhat irrelevant, but the lenient reader will pardon this digression.

PHRENOLOGY IN HEBRON, CONN.,

On the 10th day of March, 1848, Mr. NELSON SIZER concluded a course of lectures at the Town Hall, in Hebron, Conn., on the science of Phrenology. The lectures were numerously attended by the citizens of the town.

At the close of the last lecture, the audience, for the purpose of expressing their sentiments in regard to the lectures just closed, organized a meeting by the appointment of Ex-Governor JOHN S. PETERS, Chairman, and CHARLES POST, Secretary. The following resolutions were then introduced by Lucius J. HENDEE, Esq., and after being discussed were unanimously adopted.

Resolved, That we consider the science of Phrenology, one that commends itself to the attention of every enlightened individual, and especially to those entrusted with the training of children and youth.

Resolved, That we have been highly entertained and instructed by the lectures of Mr. Sizer, on the sciences of Phrenology and Physiology, just closed, both by the happy manner of the lecturer, and by the solidity of his reasoning on the subjects.

Resolved, That, in our opinion, Mr. Sizer is a gentleman entitled to the attention and patronage of the public, as a phrenologist and lecturer.

Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by its officers and published in the AMERICAN PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL, and that a copy thereof be presented to Mr. Sizer. JOHN S. PETERS, Chairman.

CHARLES POST, Secretary.

HUMAN MAGNETISM.

AN IMPORTANT CURE.-Nathaniel Coleman, of Ripley, about sixteen years ago received an injury upon his brain, which produced complete insanity that lasted for more than a year. Under medical treatment he became partially relieved; but from that time onward he was subject to return of derangement every month, that would usually disqualify him for business from one to two weeks.

Mr.

One year ago last August, Professor Smith, of Jeffersonville, Indiana, was delivering a course of lectures in Ripley, on Human Magnetism. Mr. C., prompted by curiosity merely, presented himself, with others, to be magnetized. At the third sitting he passed fully into the magnetic state, and soon became quite susceptible to the influence. Before the course of lectures was concluded, he had one of his periodical returns of derangement. From what had been said in the lectures about the healing properties of magnetism, some of the friends of the afflicted were curious to have a trial made in this case. Smith was sent for, and on his arrival found Mr. C. perfectly insane and speechless; his pulses were feeble, and less than twenty beats to the minute; his hands and feet were as cold as icicles, and his whole body trembled as if shaken by a fit of ague. Thirty or forty persons were gathered around, much alarmed, and some in tears. A number of physicians were present, just ready to exhibit the "life-giving effects" of the lancet. Professor Smith requested them to suspend operations, and the patient should be cured in a few minutes, without torture, and without medicine. All withdrew from the room, except the physicians, and a few relatives and friends. Immediately Mr. C. was put into the magnetic sleep, and in a few minutes his whole system was calm and free from pain. The physicians were then requested to examine his pulse, which was still faint and slow, but in two minutes more they were raised by the operator to ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE BEATS TO THE MINUTE. good doctors examined over and over, to see if there might not possibly be some mistake or collusion.

The

The pulse was reduced to seventy-four to the minute, and the doors were opened to a large collection of men, women, and children, anxious to witness the triumph or downfall of magnetism in Ripley. After a few appropriate remarks, and in less than TWENTY MINUTES from the time Mr. Smith commenced his operations, he restored Mr. C. to the wakeful state, completely cured. The next day he was at his work, and from that day to this has not had one symptom of his usual returns of insanity. His health in other respects has been better than at any other time during the previous fifteen years. He has, however, occasionally been magnetized during the past year.-Louisville Democrat.

DEFORMITY OF THE ENGLISH OPERATIVES.

"ANY man who has stood, at twelve o'clock, at the single narrow doorway which serves as the place of exit for the hands employed in the great cotton mills, must acknowledge that an uglier set of men and women, boys and girls, taking them in the mass, it would be impossible to congregate in a similar compass. Their complexion is sallow and pallid, with a peculiar flatness of feature, caused by the want of a proper quantity of adipose substance to cushion out the cheeks. Their stature low-the average height of four hundred men, measured at different times and different places, being five feet six inches. Their limbs slender, and playing badly and ungracefully. A very general bowing of the legs.

"Great numbers of girls and women walking lamely or awkwardly, with raised chests and spinal flextures. Nearly all have flat feet, accompanied with a down tread, differing very widely from the elasticity of action in the foot and ankle attendant upon perfect formation. Hair thin and straight-many of the men having but little beard, and that in patches of a few hairs, much resembling its growth among the red men of America. A spiritless and dejected air, a sprawling and wide action of the legs, and an appearance, taken in the whole, giving the world but little assurance of a man,' or if so, most sadly cheated of his fair proportions.' Beauty of face and form are both lost in angularity, while the flesh is soft and flabby to the touch, yielding no living rebound' beneath the finger. The hurry and anxiety of this juncture bring out very strongly all their manifold imperfections."-MR. GASKILL.

Factory labor might easily be so arranged as to improve both the body and mind, and perfect, instead of deforming, those who engage in it; yet the above picture of English operatives is by no means wholly inapplicable to American. A sickening feeling oppresses me whenever I see a collection of them, and I long to see them acquainted with a knowledge of physiology, which would prove their salvation. Though over-confined and over-worked, and also obliged to eat in great haste, yet by paying proper attention to ventilation, bathing, and recreating exercise, they might preserve that health, which now too generally fails in, at most, a few years. Their work is generally light, and hence their need of vigorous muscular exercise, which an hour in the gymnasium, or a smart dance, or some other form of recreation might be made to supply. But, instead of taking such exercise, they crowd into small rooms, excessively heated, several sleeping together in eight-by-twelve bedrooms, three in a bed, and three more in a trundle-bed, only half drawn out, and in many other ways carelessly violate nearly every condition of health. It would not probably be difficult to persuade their employers to allow them ample time to eat slowly, provided they worked enough longer to make it up, and they can certainly ventilate their sitting and bedrooms, take their morning ablution, and find an hour for dancing in their respective boarding-houses, or some other brisk and amusing exercise,

which would admirably fit them for sound sleep, and invigorate both body and mind. Even in spite of the exactions of their task-masters, they might do all they now do, and preserve, and even improve their health, and of course their looks.

Yet it is most devoutly to be wished, that a model factory, conducted with a view to both the health and intellectual culture of the operatives, might be established, which shall furnish reading, lectures, lyceums, gymnasiums, etc., and, if needs be, employ two sets of hands, and run the machinery enough longer to secure to stockholders all the profits they now realize. Nor is such a reform either difficult or distant.

But the worst feature of the factory system is, that they work CHILDREN to death. I would work my finger ends off sooner than allow my children to enfeeble both body and mind by such confining and crushing labor. Nor ought any but females well advanced to become operatives, unless first best care of health is taken. The growing interest paid to this subject is well bestowed; but is insignificant compared with its real merits, for it deeply concerns generations yet unborn.

TEACHING PHRENOLOGY TO LADIES.-We perceive by the New York papers that Mrs. WELLS and Miss FOWLER, both sisters of the celebrated practical phrenologists, the Messrs. FOWLERS, of that city, have opened a class in CLINTON HALL, New York, for the purpose of teaching Phrenology to ladies. They are both excellent MASTERS of the science, and fully capable of giving instruction. This project also opens a new field. Popular prejudice forbids a lady perambulating the country and teaching her own sex the science of mind, but by private classes and lectures, she may do much good. We wish the lady teachers the success which their talent and energy so well merit.-Rochester Daily Advertiser.

PHRENOLOGY IN BALTIMORE, MD.-We extract the following from a letter to Mr. S. N. PARMELEE, who is also a co-worker in our cause:

"Phrenology has been under discussion before the Murray Institute, for two evenings, and will come up again on Wednesday. It is attracting large audiences, and doing good. With such defenders as Detwiller and Cunningham, there need be no fear of the result. The visit of Mr. L. N. Fowler to this city, unquestionably opened a new era here. Apart from such cheering indications as the discussions just referred to, the very fact of the continued existence of the Phrenological Society,' founded by Mr. Fowler, I might say-at any rate, traceable directly to his lectures-demonstrates that it is so. Let the friends of the science elsewhere take courage, therefore, and persevere in their labors, and their encounters with dead conservatism, and a worse superstition!

"The Philomathean Institute,' is still in active operation, and continues the wonder of all visiters, for the boldness of the mode of debate pursued by its members. With its motto, 'nothing too sacred or profound for human inquiry,' it gives a degree of scope for thought, which is a positive relief, amid the 'cribb'd, cabin'd, confined,' associations of an older growth.
