BY this time the crowd had increased

determined to carry his point. Taking

The Success of Clairvoyants.

In paper in the July Scribner, on the
i" Decisions Of Clairvoyance," DIR. Geo
w. Beard, of New York, writes as fol-
lows:
The practical success OF cairsoyants,
public and private, is the result OF these
three factors: 81, guess-work reduced to
a science. and an art, 2, condolences,
and 3, trickery. Guessing is at once a
science, and an art---a science, because ii
may be regulated by certain principles.
The familiar " guessing game" illustrate
what can be done by guessing scicntl-
cally carried out; with the privilege to
the guesser OF but twenty chances, he

to which the article belongs, reach the
most minute object before his list 10 ex

ON practice. Clairvoyant devotes their
lives to the practice Of this game. for
they play it with every victim that they
meet
The subject of coincidence is ono that
has excited far less attention among the
students of history or Of human nature
than it deserves; little indeed has been
written upon it. Among those who have
given the subject any thought, the most
erroneous impression prevails that 1t can
be brought under the law Of pure mathe
matics. In the life of every active hu-
man being are frequent, almost daily oc-
curing, condolences which those who
~ atf To fharo n thai,
choose, make the basis Of most absurd
delusions. Usually we give no more at.
tention to these occurrences than an ex
camation Of surprise. and then forget
all about them. We are talking Of a
person, whom. perhaps, we rarely meet
and have not seen for long time; Sud
denly he appears. A thought-out Of

denees, clairvoyants skillfully avail them
selves, and in that direction they are al
ded by the ignorance and cagcrness Of
their victims.
The trickery of clairvoyants consists
mainly in the art OF making their vic

gain the credit, even among persons Of
keen intellect, of being endowed with

s@-From the Shreveport Ua.) Times,


s1-From the Shreveport (Ia.) Times,
we get the following:
The Boston Post closes an article on
tho interview between John Il. Miner
and Grants district attorney, Stewart L.
Woodford, MS follows: alt has often
been said in disparagement of Governor
Tildcn that he did not exhibit sufficient
pluck and energy in asserting his rights
after the election. He knew then a.
well rs now that had hc taken the oath
Of office and assumed to act as president
another war was dead certainty, and
ono that would deluge the whole land
with blood, the end Of which no man
could forscc. A man Of his shrewdness
also must have been advised Of the con-
templated movements of Grant, and that
an attempt to enforce his rights with no
organized military force to support him
would necessarily prove abortivc, moro
especially since the friends of Hayes
were in possession Of tho government,
and their leaders willing if not anxious
to involve the nation in another war.
Tho country can hardly estimate truly
the danger from which the wisdom Of
Gov. Tildcn delivered us or the debt Of
gratitude due him. Sooner or later We
shall have more contcmporaneous histo-
ry on this subject. but this, which seems
authentic will do for the present"

Babies.

We love babies, and everybody. WHO
does love babies. No man has music in
his soul, wlro don't lovc babies. Babies
were made to be loved. especially girl
babies, when they grow up. A man is
not worth shuck, who hasn't baby,
and the same rule applies to n woman.
A baby is spring day in winter; ray
of sunshine in frigid winter; and If 1t is
healthy and good,natured, and you are
sure it is yours. it is a bushel Of sun.
shine no matter how cold the weather
A man cannot be hopeless case. so long
as he loves babies one at time. We
love babies all over, no matter how dir
ty they are. Babies were born to be dir
ty. We love babies, because they are
babies, and because their mothers were
lovable and lovely women. Our love
for babies is only bounded by the num-
Der Of babies in the world. We always
have so-rowful feelings for mothers that
have no babies and don't expect any.
Women always look very downhearted,
who have no babies; and men who have
no babies always gamble and drink
whisky, and stay out at nights trying to
get music in their souls; but they can't
come it. Babies are babies, tnd nothing
can take their place. Pianos play out,
and good living plays out, unless there
is baby in the house. We've tried, we
know, and we say, there is nothing like a
baby. Babies are a productive substance
and we intend to talk about babies in the
future more. We want to tell all our
friends if they want to be happy in this
world they must have baby in the
house-one of their own is preferable.
Babies stimulate excrtion; they make a
young man scratch gravel; and in this
view Of tho case, they are, all the while,
laying golden eggs. A man is hardly
even worth three red cents,' until he gets
wife and baby. They push him to it..
While he is making something for their
support, he's sure to have something
over
