How Could TO knOw3

It Is amazing how common Is tho belief IN
hat greatest Of imposturss, fortune telling
Even people who really do know that no one
:an possibly foresee what Is to happen have
lingering confidence in clairvoynnce and such
humbugs, of which they find 1t hard to divcst
themselves. 1t is strange, too, that the Tort
une teller finds his most profitable patrons In
arge cities, where ono has every opportunity
of knowing that such persons are always i'm
posters of tho worst class
The passengers on Boston horse cur were
amused one day by the conversation OF two
women, one Of whom had recently been to sec
so called fortune teller.
'It's perfectly wonderful the things he told
me-" she said. HE told me, without my say
ing a word. that was either married or that
I would be married within a year. Now, how
coult lie tell that was really marricdP'
ut was STRANGE" replied the other woman,
evidently as credulous as her companion
"What clso did he tell you"
"Well, he said that there WAS dark cloud
hanging over me now, but for ME not to get
discouraged, for 1t would soon pass away,
and everything would come out all right"
"Well, declare"
"Then he said that ono Of my friends
would be very sick soon, and that he would
die before tho year was out and leave NE n
great deal OF money, and I've an idea know
Just who that Is"
"Do your Who Is it1"
"Oh, ought not to tell YOU My husband
says these fortune tellers tell that to every
body, but don't see why it shouldn't be true
in my case. Stranger things than that have
happened"
That's true-"
"l'm sure he told mo Il great many things
he couldn't have known beforehand. Without
asking me hardly any questions, he told mo
all about my husband, just how he looked,
and how many children | had, and how old
| was and all that"
A professional fortune teller can usually
find out all he wants TO know by asking "a
few questions" in such an adroit way that
his victims never know they are giving him
the information he, in turn, gives them, to
their great surprise and myStillcation.

A BRHLnHANr PEmoRATION.
SIR Charles Russell Makes a Mos
Eloquent Finish.

SIR Charles Russell Makes a Most
Eloquent Finish.
LONDON, April IL Before the Parnell
Commission, Russell to-day undertook to
show that the money Parnell gave Byrne,
which the prosecution alleged was to en-
able Byrne to escape, was meant by Par
nell for ordinary purposes of the National
League, and that Parnell did not know
Byrne was in peril of arrest.
Sir Charles said, in concluding, that
it was trying the history of the
Irish revolution. He asked that
fair and generous consideration
be given it. If prosperity is
returning to Ireland, thanks be to God,
but affairs are unhealthy in that country,
where the people considered the impris-
oned members of the House of Com
mons heroes and martyrs. Sir Charles
declared that he did not speak merely
as an advocate of the accused members
of the Commons, but for the land of bis
birth, and he believed in the best inter-
ests Of Ireland. The inquiry, which had
been intended to be curse, had been a
blessing. 1t had been designed for the
purpose of running one man, but proved
the means of his vindication.
In his peroration, which lasted half an
hour, Sir Charles Russell said: 'In
opening our case, said we represented
the accused. The positions are now re-
versed. The accused sit there tpointine
with indignant scorn at Walter and
Mcdonald of the Times. This inquiry
will not only vindicate the individuals,
but will remove all misconception of the
character, action and motives of the
Irish people and their leaders. 1t will
set earnest, honest minds to thinking
and will hasten true union and effect 8
true reconciliation. 1t will dispel the
weighty cloud that has darkened the his
tory of noble race and dimmed the
glory of a mighty empire"
At the conclusion of his speech, Justice
Hannen, in a note, congratulated Russell
on it's brilliancy, and Gladstone ant
other friends warmly congratulated SiI
Charles, Parnell and Davitt.
Upon the conclusion of to-day's pro
ceedings, the court adjourned until April
30th.

The Armes Court Martial.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-In the Armes
court martial, Judge Hubbell appeared
as counsel for the accused, Captain Knt K
having withdrawn. The vacancy exist
ing in the Board, occasioned by the relief
of Captain Knox, who was selected by
Captain Armes as Counsel, was filled by
the appointment of Major Theodore
Schwan, of the Adjutant- Generals De-
partment. Judge Hubbell entered into
an argument TO convince the Court that
the case presented was one which be-
longed to civil not military jurisdiction,
but the Court decided that it was a
proper one to be decided by court mar
tial. Captain Armes, through his coun-
sci, thereupon entered general plea of
not guilty. Several witnesses testified
as to the occurrences on Inauguration
Day, when Armes was removed from the
parade by order of General Hastings, and
his encounter in the Riggs House lobby
with Governor Beaver. The testimony
was generally in line with the stories
which have already been published.
