Grant will not occupy the White House during tho next
Ave years There least two people in this coun-

from the Presidents Message that he beeveth not in
the immutable fiat of the neither doth he despise
another term and the action Of Bishop Haven last
week shows concusvely that he has no faith in any
celestial 'house although he has yearning for the
White House and its present occupant Many people
declare that needed ghost to back to EARTH
and no occult message from the spheres to convince
sensible men that General Grant is serving his last
term. However that may be, Professor Lister holds
severely to his prediction, unmindful OF the petty
events of this mundane sphere
The Professor has cast the horoscope Of the ssius-
trious fugitive William NJ Tweed with the view Of
assisting the police in discovering his present where

In the above diagram says the Professor, Venus and
Saturn represent Tweed. The former planet Is In an
angle therefore the fugitive be in the city little
southwest from his old home The plan for his escape
ma,urcd when the planet Saturn turned direct in
motion, which was on Monday, October rs. From that
time till he made his escape his friends were only
watching an opportunity. Two persons who repre-
sented by the moon and Mars respectively, will get
themselves into serious trouble through thor particle
patton in the plot They men, dressed in "a little
brief authority" and one Of them will betray tho
othor One OF these is tall Of stature Tho other
is Of medium height and has dark hair The latter IS
exceedingly pompous in manner, and thrusts himself
forward on every possible occasion.
Tweed Is hiding IN wreched place-a basement or
ccllar-whcre many women congregate, and where a
number of dogs are kept about the premises.
The moon Is within degree Of being in quadrature
with Mars, This IS an evil aspect, and denotes that in
one day week the "Boss' will be captured His
taking will be an instance OF perldious friendship for
the very person who has been paid to keep the

mistake In selecting his assistants on this OCCASION
