THE LINES OF THE HAND.
A New and Interesting Source OF Amuse-
ment-How to "Ten Character" by
PaImistry.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
So little is known about palmistry in this
country that the people are quite astonished
to find how much there is in it when the gem
eral outlines of its principles are described
to them 1t is not hard to tell fortunes by
the hand, and one need not be gypsy
queen to be able to do it, Hands are divided
into three different kinds Those with round
pointed fingers, those with square tips, and
those that are spade shaped, with pods of flesh
on each side of the nail The first type, with
round pointed fingers, belongs to characters
with quick perception, extra sensitive TO
very pious people, to contemplative minds,
to the impnlsive, and to all poets and artists
who have ideality as prominent trait Tho
second type, those that are square shaped,
belongs to scientific people, to sensible, self
contained characters, and to the class
of professional men who are neither
visionary nor altogether sordid. The
third type, those that are spade shaped, with
pods Of flesh at the side of the nail, indicates
people whose interests and instincts are mostly
material, people who have a genius for bust
ness, and who have high appreciation of
everything that pertains to bodily use and
comfort. Each finger no matter what kind
of hand it is on, has joint representing
each of these types. The divisions of the
finger that is nearest the palm stands for the
body, the middle division represents the
anu HlShtSu Jolhb sIiill vi ooui' II
the top joint is longer than the Others it de-
notes a character with too much imagination,
great ideality, and of leaning toward the
theoretical rather than the practical. When
the middle joint of the finger is long, it
promises logical, calculating mind-a very
common sense kind of person-and when the
lowest joint is the longest it indicates ma
ture that clings more to the luxuries than to
the refiuements of life, mind that looks for
the utility before beauty. If they are nearly
alike, and especially if the length of the
fingers equals the length of the palm, it indi
Gates we'll balanced mind.
The principal lines on the hand are the line
of life, which runs around the base of the
thumb; the line of the head which begins
alongside the line of life, crossing the middle
of the palm, and the line of the heart, which
goes from one side Of the hand to the other,
at the base of the fingers. A long and well
defined line of the head promises intellectual
power, and pole line means indecision. A
good looking line Of the heart augurs well for
the owners happiness. If it sends short lines
toward the line of the head it is taken to
mean that the love of that person will only
be given to those who have earned his re-
spect. Such are few of the points of the
science which this winter nearly every one in
intelligent social circles will be practicing
and talking about,

GENERAL AND JOHN SHERMAN.
Talk About the ePrcsidency--" Old Tecum''
I'm the Early Part OF the Wax.

I'm the Early Part OF the Wax.
Cath in he Ne,D York Tribune.
Gen. Sherman was quite agreeable to me
early in the week when | met him near his
hotel and although he said the reporters had
been trying in vain to get at him, he evil
IDENTIFY overlooked part of my vocation, and
set me down in his room and congratulated
himself that he was going to leave the army.
He said he never felt better in his life, that
he certainly had ten years more of vitality in
him. that he expected to spend considerable
of every year riding and camping about the
Rocky mountains, and then he said that the
talk about his takipg the presidency at the
loss of his $4,000 a year. horses included for
the rest of his natural life, when he should
have instead only four years at most of what
he emphaticaly termed "hell," was next to
preposterous. Nobody, he said, had ever got
anything out of the presidency in his time,
certainly no military man like Gen. Taylor
or Gen. Harrison or Gen. Grant.
Hancock he had congratulated on making
such lucky escape from the office. Yet while
the general was around the hotel his friends
were making the corridors resound with his
availability for the office, saying among other
things, that while he would get the whole
anti-catholic vote, his wife would bring the
whole catholic vote, and that the grand old
party would sing such songs as Marching
Through Georgia" " and "Tumpsey Rumpsey
See Tecumseh' and bring the old fellow into
the white house with the drum and fife of the
church militant and the church triumphant.
No men who resemble each other outwardly
would appear to have so little in common as
Gen. Sherman and his brother John, the latter
being two years younger. Gen, Sherman was
not u republican atall in the campaign of Abra-
ham Lincoln, while John was running for the
republican office of speaker the year
before, and the general, who was then
keeping the Louisiana military in
stitute, had to explain to a host of
brigadiers and colonels that John was not an
abolitionist, and that they did not coincide
When Sherman got out of Louisiana after
JEFF. Davis had been made president, he found
his brother John must become senator in place
of Secretary Chase. Attempts were made to
bring Gen. Sherman into the chief clerkship
of the War department, with u view to max
ing him assistant secretary of war, but he
would have nothing, not even a regiment
and preferred to go back to st. Louis and be
president of street horse railway at ~, 800
a year. He says in his memoirs that Mr.
Lincoln probably considered him lukewarm
on the subject of the war. He was civilian
in st. Louis looking on when Lyon stormed
the rebel state camp, and on that occasion the
boy who is now priest was thrown to the
ground by his brother in law and held thore
to keep the bullets from striking him. At
last Sherman was offered regular army regi-
ment for the three years service, and he took
it, There is no question that he left Louisi-
ana houorably, but he had little faith at the
beginning that the northern side would pre-

MIR. HAYNES. OF TEXAS.
The Stony Path OF the Revenue Collector
in the Lone Star State.

Inquiry at the treasury department con-
cerning the widely noticed case of Haynes
collector of customs at Brownsville, Texas
develops the following record Charges were
made ofirregularities in his administration OF
the Office affecting both his official and private
character. The solicitor of the treasury re-
ported that the charges should be investigated,
but has not made any report upon the facts
shown by the inquiry ordered. The investi-
CATION was made by a special agent of the
treasury department who reported nothing
to show that Haynes realized pecuniary
benefit by reason Of his alleged Irregularities,
or that he was in completely with violations
of the law. He finds, however, that there
were irregularities and looseness of administ
tration, some of which appeared in Haynes's
own reports to the department in former years.
The charges cover period of several years,
ranging from 1876 TO 1880 and the irregulari-
ties, it is said are attributable in large de-
gree to the unsettled condition of the country
and the impossibility of complying with the
law in all particulars. The district borders
on the Mexican line, and is peOpled by many
lawless and desperate men, Exaggerated aC-
counts Of this matter have been published,
based apparently upon a misconception of the
nature of the report of the solicitor of the
treasury, Hayness term of office does not
expire until March H. 1884.

The LowyiIie Postoftice Case.

The following statement in regard TO the
Lowville IN. " postoihce case, about which
there has been some comment of late, is made
upon very high authority: At the time the
case was considered by the President there
were two candidates, one of them being the
present incumbent, who was renominated
Saturday, but by mistake the name of the
one whom it was not intended to appoint was
sent to the senate. The postmaster general
telegrpphed the chairman Of the post0iiice
committee to withhold action in the case,
but before the President could send to the
senate u withdrawal of the name the nOmina-
tion had been acted upon by the senate, the
committee having failed to carry out the re-
quest Of the postmaster general, A request
was then nude for reconsideration at The
next executive session, but il wai suggested
that such action was Unnecessary, and that if
the nomination had been enormously sent to
the senate, the commission could be withheld,
as had been done in other cases. The COM
mission is accordingly withheld to await the
senate b action on the nomination sent in last

Gen. Meade's death he gave the animal that
had carried him over many hard fought
battlefield faithfully and successfully to John
J. Davis, Il blacksmith, living near Jcnkcn-
town. The condition was that the horse
should never be sold into scrvitudc and that
when he was no longer able to perform the
light duties that Davis imposed upon him, he
should he shot or poisoned. He had done nc
work since Gen. Mcade's death, and lately his

Kind Advice.

When, in the course of congressional
events, senators and representatives sent by
pages their autograph albums around among
their fellow-lcgislators, Congressman Moore
of Tennessee, thought the little fellows who
brought him the books were soliciting foI
their own collections. So, in kind, fatherly
way, he put some good advice of the copy
