THE MODEST ROMAN OF THEM ALL
Such letters as the following, from Unionville,
are not often received by publishers of publip
Journals, and being so rare, We feel compelled
TO give this one publicity. 1t was pouned by
one Of cur best subscribers, and on being
opened was found to contain $3.50. On re-
fsrTing to our books We found his unpaid sub
'scriptiOu to date from January LIST, 1873
He had, therefore, sent US three dollars for
last year aud ten per cent interest thereon,
and three dollars for the present year. AS
our terms are $3.50 in advance, or SIS if not
paid in advance, the so cents difference is
allowed for interest, and as our friend did so
well We forwarded him clear recent for two
years and three months, If all our patrons
would only pay the principal of their iudebt
eduess to US We would be satisfied, and never
say aught about interest Who next? Here
is the letter:

her lew more silver bhslIslr and sheld M our
palms for the stories Of our lives. Good or bad,
they would hardly interest the public, but her
system OF telling fortune viii, perhaps, be
tolerable reading. In this age Of advanced
science and learning, worship, sordId, brazen
worship OF Mammon was never more com
plete.
It is also curious fact that OWNERS, fortune
tellerss neeromancers, professors Of the black
art, astrologers and soothsayers are full Of
business. Their advertisements are IN all
newspapers and thar patronage includes all
Glasses Of society. Deriving the gin from their
old Egyptian ancestry, the women Of the gypsy
tribes make no small portion Of their living
nom palmistry or telling fortunes by the lines
and mounts Of tha hand. They are by no
means equally skilled. From the majority Of
them you hear only little varied jargon about
"crosses and losses" that would at the life Of
one as well as another, yet 9 sort Of natural
instinct and constant training enables them 10
tell very much that is true from mere personal
observation. Having an opportunity TO talk
with an intelligent gypsy we found out that
something like the following constitutes the
rules she works by when thorough in her orac-
lar TALK and we'll paid forit in 6dVsnee;
oYTHs MOUNTS AND LINES.
She said that the seven planets which con
troll the life of men are Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Sun and Moon, and the last
being the nearest, has the greatest influence
over NC. From Jupiter we have the right sort
of ambition, or pride that leads US into folly;
from Saturn, good fortune or bad; from
Apollo, love of art and riches; from Mercury,
cunning and love of the sciences; from Mars,
self-goTernment and cruelty; from the Moon,
Imagination and folly, and from Venus, love
and dissipation. Now the mount of Jupiter Il
beneath the first, theNmount of Saturn under
the second, Of Apollo or the Sun under the
third, Of Mercury under the little finger. and
the mount of Venus is at the foot Of the
thumb. The line Of the heart is the first
horizontal line, and runs along at the feet of
the mounts. II It runs deep clear across It sig
mites good heart; II broken It signifies ineon-
stancy. The line Of the head is the second
one, and if straight and long betokens great
mind and powerful will. The line of life IS the
circular one surrounding the mount of Venus
or the thumb. The line of Saturn rises on the
mount Of Saturn, and crosses 1t as far as TO
the root of the middle finger. The line of the
sun rises from the line Of life, or from the
mount Of the moon, and goes making fur
row in the mount of the sun. It is from such
principles as these that fortunes are told with
all their varying shades as disclosed the vary
ing character OF the lines and mounts. To be
anything like an adept in the science requires
long and patient study, and q mind naturally
inclined to such things. All these the gipsies
haVe-some of them to an eminent degree
hence the crowds which swarm about their
tents-old women, maidens, young and fair,
and staIwart men, all TO have their fortunes
told

DISTRICT AFFAIRS.

FoUR-AND-A-HALF STREET YESTERDAY
The rain yesterday made the exterior Of the
Columbia building look decidedly quiet, as the
usual crowd of loungers were compelled TO keep
within doors.
Commissioner Ketehum was alone during
the day attending to routine matters of but
little public interest, but in the afternoon Mr..
DenniEon arrived and signed 9 warrant for
500, 900 for the use Of the comptroller in his
various payments.
The comptroller was engaged in paying Of
the assessors and such Of the employees in the
several departments heretofore paid who had
not gone in with therush. He has now nearly
one hundred checks drawn in favor OF parties
who have as yet failed to call for them.
The pay rolls Of the police force for the ar
rearages are now ready, but payment will not
be made until next week, when the July rolls
will be ready.
The contracts which were recently approved
by the board have not as yet been begun by
the contractors and win not be until Lieut..
Hoxie, who is now at work on them, furnishes
full and complete report in each case to the
Commission.
During the past six or eight months, when
money was so scarce, some Of the employees of
the board and the District government signed
the rolls and accepted in payment tax lien and
other securities. Several of them have recent
" made application to the Commission, asking
that the difference between the market value
of the securities at the time Of receipt and cash
be now paid them. Mr.. Stanton has decided
that Il cannot be done.
In view Of the fact that the Commission have
abolished the Office Of physician to the poor
and ward apOthecaries, a number of physicians
united in request that central free dispensary
be established. The subject was referred to
Mr.. Stanton, who has rendered an adverse opin-
ion, based upon the same grounds given for the
abolition of the abOve-named.
About finances the Washington eorrespon-
dent OF the New York Times says "The Dis
tF4ct Commissioners are confident that they
viii be able to negotiate the 81 l50, 900 SIX per
cent. gold bonds, which belong to the District
