Subscribers ""or the Spandabd who ^ave in the past called at this office •for their paper, to'^ether with those hn the village whobe papers haye here- tofore been delivered, are hereby noti- fied that after this week (2lBt Feb.) all such papers will be delivered in the post office. This will doubtless be more satisfactory both to publisher and subscribers, as the latter have to -call at the P. 0. for other mail mat- ter and can therefore kill the two 't)irds with one stone. and moral objections against the phrenolo- gical theory axe utterly futile, I have from the first been fully ecnyinced" says the learn- ed and pious Richard Whately D. D., Arch- bishop of Dublin. We hope soon to find at least those who assume to become teachers of the people in sacred things, cease to oring such futile ob- jections figainst scientific truth, for in so do- ing they woi;k only against the great cause they advocate, that of religious and moral elevation;- they furnish arguments to the skeptically inclined and certainly a persis- tence in this course would justify the lan- guage of the French cayiUist, when he spoke of certain men as "ignorant" teachers of this weak world. Bkindallc.. The Franchise Question. MEENTAL. SCIENCE. We had thought that intelligent people had vceased to object to phrenology on the ground that it teaches that the emotions and affec- "iious are manifested through the instrumen- itaiity of the brain, and do not originate in the heart. Yet we find this old objection still revived occasionally, and sometimes it jjomes from a eoui-ce that we had thought to ihe better informed. This objection is so weak and futile that a majority of wi'tei-s on phrenology and physiology do not think it worth their notice, for they know very well that reaUy educated men never commit themselves to such an absurdity as to oppose pkrenology for any such reason. We have cbefore us arathervoluminusdefenceof phren- ology published in Leipsig Germany, by a talented and learned author. Dr. Gustavus Scheve, in which we find that he does not -once mention this point; another from that elegant and classical writer, George Combe, â- we have carefully examined with the same result. The opconents of these men, as also all medical men and all others who know enough of anatomy and physiology to have a right to say any tiling authoritatively of the structure of the human system and its func- tions, know very well that the heart has a different duty to perform, that it is the cen tre of the arterial or venous system, the prin- cipal blood vessel, a muscular structure ad- mirably adapted to its office as the principal instrumeni in the circulation of the blood. The heart has two vital properties irritabil- ity and contractility by the first of which the stimulus of the blood is perc by tlie second of which the muscular fibres of the heart shorten themselves, or in other words, contract and close the cavity. It may in fpct be considered as two hearts, a right and a left. By the right heart the blrod is sent to the lungs, by the left to the arteries. Each of these consists of U':o muscular sacs; the venous, or dark blood, is poured into the iirst sac of the right heart, caUbd the auricle, this, when filled, closes like a sensitive plant and forces the blood into the right sf.c, called the ventricle, the ventricle then contracts and forces the blood through tubes into the lungs, Here the blood is vivified, and rushes into the left auricle or first envity, of the left heart, which contracts and forces it into the second cavity or the left ventricle, this con- tracts and forces it into the gTcat canal for the conveyance of arterial blood, whence it is distributed to all parts of the body sup- jlying nourishment. It returns turough â- other tubes called veins, is received into the right auricle and passes through the same route as before. The body contains, it is iUDposed, from twenty-five to twenty-eight pounds of blood, and it is estimated that tvro ouDoes pass through the heai-t at every beat, according to which all the bloodtnust pass through the heart every three minutes. Thia is the otdy function of the heart, which is principally a muscular organ. Perhaps the wiseacres who think it is an organ of mental action, beheye that muscle is better adapttd to be the instrument for the exercise of af- fections and emotions of the mind, than nervous structures such as we find in the brain. They quote scripture in support of their viewp, not knowing that in scripture Rnd in poetic language the word heart is used when the inner nature, the disposition, the actuating principle in the individual is meant without any reference whatever to any par- ticular organic structure located in any part of body or brain. To teach the sciences of anatony and physiology was not in the mission of the BacreJ w iters. If they wsre inspired to know and teaoh rehgious truth that does not iiiipty that they shanld be inspired as well to know and teach that tlie earth revolves on its 8xis, that the sun is some ninety five luiihoiis of miles di;tant from the earth, or to be acquainted with the physiological fact of the circulation of tlie blood, of which the \-i.ria nt\er heard until tLe time of Dr. Karvey, about the year 1616 of the Christian era. resides if we were to suppose that these men were favored above others of their time witli knowledge such as we find since leveloped s'owly by scientific research, what should WB think of their msdom were they iu teaching rehgious truth and reformation to begin by makuig war on the opiuiona and Botiouf of the people in matters not in any way i»5wtiu;{ religioiaa belief. "That tii^.religions Both in the Dominion Parliament and the Provincial Legislature the franchise question will be considered this year. There can be no doubt but the Governments in each case, will propose a.^ Q9nsiderable extension of the franchise. The race appeara to bD which will outdo the other in liberties in. this respect. Sir John evidently appears to be a good deal ahead iu one particular at least, â€" in extending the franchise to women of two classes. Mr. Mowat's only chance now is, if he intends to establish his reputation as the leader of the most liberal party, will be to include women of aU classes, so long as they possess the necessary property qualifications. Sir John proposes to place the franchies in the hands of widows and unmai]-ied women possessing a certain amount of property, but witholds it from other wives and mothers, even though possessed of a large amount. There is an anomaly in the proposal which the opposition will be sure to make the most capital out of, but will the ojiposition propose to remove the anomaly by urging the extension to all classes Time will tell. â€" Truth Capt. Webb's widow is cow compel- led to maintain herself and her family by doing seryice as a book-keeper in a Boston book store. There is nothing discreditable to her in thus earning an honest Hving by honest industry it is certainly much more creditable than passing round the hat arcoung her husband's old friends and admirers, but it certainly is not very creditable to the man himself that he should e'lved and I ^° recklessly jeopardise his own life ...i__ l:u 1 when he kLew tlie position his wife and family would be placed in, should his venture fail, as it did. Men who have given hostages to fortune are certainly not wairante^J in being reckless about Lealth or personal safety. The unfortunate Captain was no doubt a very plucky man, and many adniiied him because of his i pluck, bui new that his wife is a widow the admu-ation of the world is of preciouij little value. â€" Truth. â€" Few^er RepreseiiktEiivcs. Representation by population was the great cry a few rears ago. It '"as to be the great pauiicea for all the ill? jlitical :!a Canada, so t..id the rufovm pf ._,. \vc huTe gotten ii, arJ. io-day both lae Domiiiwa and On- tario ItousoL are crowded vrith represtnta- tivei, so much so thut there are rumora to vh J eCect tl.at both houses v.iil have to b« enIdj;;od to accommodate iho ijembors. Now instead of euL-^giug the buildj-^gs, we suggest thai the nuLaber of representatives be reduc- ed, thus savinf,, not only the expenje of en- larging, but ;he sefesional iJlowance, etc., now foo»ishlj spent in upholding that bug- beai-, lep. by pop, W e behe^e that one-half the nuu.ber o- repreGoiii^ti\fc5 vtould do the â- rrork in a shorter time. Siad much better than iu now done. Two representatives from each county, one for either house, is all that is needed, and would be a saving of thousands of d ILrs snnually. That is what we want. â€" Truth. « ♦-^ SJistrict Bashes. From our own eorretpondent. Dr. McWilliams intends to buiid a place of busines during the comiug Bummer. Mr. Teeple, blacksmith, has given up business, having sold out tea party by the name of McArthur from Euphrasia. Mrs. C. If. Jewell, arrived on Tues- day evening, and was met at the S5a- tion by her friends. Tbe newly married couple have our best wishes for their future prosperity. Fair day was Tuesday last, the attendance was larger than for some months. Quite a number of cattle changed hands at very fair prices. Our township council do not intend to hold so many meetings as were held lash year. Injustice of the late County Valuators to the poorer town- ships 18 felt very much in Proton. Business has been brisk during the past week. Large quantities cf gram have been brought in from the town- ship of Osprey and Melanchton. The station yard is well tilled up, huudetJs of cords of wood, pile? of ties, paving timber etc. having been brought in. The failure of the crops, owing to the trost, drives the farmers to the necessity of using the products of the forest, to raise the needful. (The above was mailed in Dundalk on Wednesday tbe 15th, and readied us the following Saturday. Ed.) There is some talk of a foundry being established here soon. The station yard has been a busy scene during the past week. Trains have been busy taking away products of Proton and Melancthon forests, such as ties, wood, etc. The former deputy-reeve of Mc-lan- otho|a feels sore at his defeat, and threatens to have the new survey seperated from the old, and a new township formed of the latter. The residents in the flourish imj settlement of Shrigley and Badgeros are highly pleased with the prompt- itude with which Dr. Sproule at- tended to the matter of the change of mail route. As you are aware Mr. Editor, under the present arrange ments, it takes nearly a week for a ' letter to reach either of the above places, though only a few miles distant. To reach Shrigley, 7 miles away a communication requires to travel, about 40 miles and be 4 days on the road. But through the aid of our M. P. we are cow to haye tri- weekly mail from Dundalk via Shrigely and Badgeros to Maple Valley.
