PALMISTRY.
An Interview with Prof. Babboo on This
wonderful Art-Interestine Facts
on the Reading of the Past,
Present and Future.

The practical part of palmistry
is that which gathereth probable
predictions of planets, the places
of the planets in the hand and from
the notes and characters every
where pointed and marked out in
the hands and fingers. To under
stand the principal theoretic diff
culties of life in the path of chiro-
nancy, it will be necessary to de-
fine that science. 1t is the science
of deciphering events, past, present
and to come, from the lines of the
human hand. But" exclaims the
objector, how can these lines be
the signs of fate, seeing that they
are most potently the result of the
various motions of the hand itself
very scientific and very narrows"
The logical mind sees far wider
and deeper, it knows that nothing
on the earth exists in and for itself,
that all creation is knit together in
vital union. True, the proximate
cause of these lines is the various
motions of the hand, but what gave
your hand these peculiar varieties
of motion9 Is it not easy and
much more natural for fate to guide
the motion of your hand so that
its lines shall, rightly interpreted,
exactly represent your career? AS it
would be to these lines in an arbi-
trary position on your chest. As
men impress the image of COW on
butter, and yet were the latter done
men of science would have an OBJ
lection the less to urge. And now
a few arguments as to certain rea
sons for a belief in this science.
First, does it not seem more nat
ural and likely that man should
bear on himself the mark of his
career than not? Does he not by
common consent thus bear the
marks of age and sorrowi Nay,
more. Can not a wise doctor with
tolerable certainty predict from the
appearances of a child whether it
will be long or short lived! Do
not men in this way bear the marks
of at least a portion of their fate!
And if this be so-if so much may
be discovered without any special
study of the subject, may we moi

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. IL
An application was made today by
S. |. Hutehins, John E. Patton
and other leading colored citizens
of this city, for a charter for the
National American Colonization
association, the object being to or
ganize branches in the southern
cities. The association is formed
with a view to colonizing negroes
in the west and securing from con-
gress a concession to allow the
colonies so formed the right Of
state government and represents
atives in congress, etc.
The plan was organized bv S. s.
Hutchins, negro lawyer of this
city, who has given the question
of What to do with the negroi''
great deal of study. Hutchins
was a circuit judge in North Caro-
lima during the reconstruction days
and it is said of him that he came
nearer to giving satisfaction to the
whites in his circuit than any negro
who ever held like office. Hut
chins gives as reason for his pro-
posed colony that the people Of
the United States.should be given
an opportunity to see whether the
negro is capable of governing and
holding Office"
The applications for charter says
that it is no: fair to Judge of the
negro's ability to conduct public
affairs by the failures he has mad8
