The Greenville, S. C. Mountaineer says, tkere is now livirg in Buncombe county, North Carolina, a boy 17 years old, whose head measures 29 inches in circumference. He is a souud healthy chap, a good hand to work, but is a very dull fellow, and 6ays he 'can't learn fast.' His forehead is villainously low, and his head is as smooth as a green gourd without bump, or knot; or as the phrenologists say. without dEvelopment.'

Bishops'1 Slervts Upon no part of the feroa'e frame has Fashion exercised its sway with more caprice and nhitn than upon the arm. That which we value most, naturally engrosieb our greatest care. The mUer is constantly occti
pied with his gold, aud we wonder that a fine woman's thoughts should run upon her atni. It is not merely the contour ef a polished und beau tifully rounded limb, and the delight excited by the contemplation of just symmetry and proper tions, that are to be taken into account in an eg tiostte of its meiitt. What interest and intelli
gence reside in a lice arm'. Where should we
find the harmony, the ease, the grace displayed

riety of its motions constitute a complete
guage. It is full of senre aud meaning: it speaks unutterable things. Less eloquent and rapid than the expression cf the eye, its motion is naore
distinct and intelligible. Whether it encourages,
chides, or commends, you cauuot mistake it

withdrawn by his raislie? This single move ment speaks volumes. Physical as well as in
intellectual associations of the deepest interest
accompany it.
