ASTROLOGY.
The World Astonished
AT THE WONDERFUL REVELATIONS
MADE BY THE GREAT PSYCHOLOGIST,
Madame H. A. PERRIG0.

She reveals secrets no mortal ever knew.
She restores to happiness those who, from
dolstul events, catastrophes, crosses in love,
loss of relations and friends, loss Of money,
&C., have become respondent. She brings
together those long separated, gives informa-
ton concerning absent friends or lovers, re-
stores lost or stolen property, tells you the
business you are best qualified to pursue and
in what you will be most successful, causes
speedy marriages and tells you the very day
you will marry, gives you the name, likeness
and characteristics Of the person. She reads
your very thoughts, and by her almost super
natural powers unveils the dark and hidden
mysteries Of the future. From the stars we
see in the frmament-the maletc stars that
overcome or predominant in the CONFORMATION
from the aspects and positions OF the planets
and the fixed stars in the h, avens at the time
of birth, she deduces the future destiny OF
man. Fail not to consult the greatest Astrol
ogist on earth. 1t costs you but trflc, and
you may never again have so favorable an
opportunity. Consultation fee, with likeness
and all desired information, 81. Parties liv-
ing at distance can consult the Madame by
mail with equal safety and satisfaction to
themselves, as if in person. full and ex-
pliclt chart. written out, with all inquiries
answered and likeness enclosed, sent by mail
on receipt Of the price above men toned. The
strictest secresy will be maintained and all
correspondence returned or destroyed Ref
erences of the highest order furni he'd those
desiring them. Write plainly the day of the
month and year in which you were born, en-
closing small lock of hair.

On 18th ult.. Butler and Bingham, in
personal explanations, assai!cd each other
furiously. Butler said he had examined
evidence for other purposes than proving
Mrs. Surratt's hanging unjustifable. He
said the memorandum book in which
Booth kept. day by day. his thoughts plans
and motives. taken from his dead body,
was withheld, though his pipe, spurs and
knife were presented to the Court. This
book was in the possession Of the Judicial
ry Committee, with eighteen pages of en-
tries made prior to Lincoln's assassination
cut out. MIR. Butler wanted to know was
that book complete when it fell into the
hands of the Government Why was
the diary withheld from the Court. He
did not charge the gallant soldiers who
composed the Court with wrong. They
did potsee the diary. otherwise they would
have Judged differently. Who spoliated
that book Who suppressed that evil
dence? Who caused that innocent wo-
man to be hanged? There is still in the
diary these words, written a few hours
before Booth death. which he (Butler)
quoted from memory: Il have endeav
ored to cross the Potomac five times, but
tailed l propose to return to Washing
ton. give myself up and clear myself from
the great crime" Butler continued !:
Why was not Colonel Cenyer allowed to
tell what was found on Booth body? He
believed the diary would show, up to a
certain hour. that Booth intended to alb
duct Lincoln.
Mr.. Bingham replied cxcitedly, and
was called to order Tor using words dis
respectful to the House. lie claimed
that words written after the act were in
admissible as evidence. He denied any
knowledge Of the spoliation of the diary.
and disavowed responsibility for the con
duct Of the prosecution.

Alas /! Poor Bolts.

The following amusing little episode in
the history of the ''great groom of Gohan-
ma" is from the special correspondent of
Of the New York Herald, and we have
reason to believe it substantially true:
RICHMOND, March %, 1867.
When General Scho6eld had issued his
General Order No /, assuming command
Of this district, he was called upon by that
cratic individual. John Minor Bolts, who
was then in this city, and who, in lengthy
TRADE against all parties. classes and sects
differing in views with himself, undertook
to instruct that officer in the course he
should pursue and the manner ia which he
should apply his new powers to certain
parties. In this unaskcd for advice Bolts
never once afforded an opportunity to be
told or for moment thought, he was in
truding upon an officer who, because of
his ability to administer justice and effec-
lively enforce the law, Was appointed here.
The General listened calmly to the raying
Of this egotistical, inconsistent political
ag;tatOr, eyelng hlm aUentlvely all the
time but without even vouchsa6ng him a
reply-not even anod When that person
had exhausted himself, he suddenly found
his presence was not at all acceptable ; he
commenced to feel decidedly uncomforta-
BILE saw he had overstepped his mark by
long shot, and taking his leave, sneaked
out like a badly snubbed man, which Bolts
was. After he had gone the General, who
was quietly smokinga cigar, turned to one
of his officers present and remarked, eff
Sherman was here that man would have
been sent to prison" This is stated on
good authority, and is an evidence that
General Schofield intends to discharge his
duty faithfully and impartially, without
any regard whatever to politicians of any
order.
