 Cleaveland Have Palms Read. The New Haven Union prints the l following fanciful sketch: Governor Abiram Chamberlain and Judge Livingston w. Cleaveland got l into the weather at the legislative re l union, and took the wind out of Mayor l Studleys sails until they happed, so they thought They had a lovely time passing the glad hand around among l their country friends, and congratulat- l cd themselves that the third entry in 1 the possible triangular race a year | from this fall was not around making l hay, while eating steamed long clans at Pleasure Beach.
 Surely it is too bad that our friend, l the mayor, cannot be with us to-day ! said the governor to Judge Cleaveland: "Yes, it is," said the judge, as he raised his hand to salute crowd of up-the-stat agriculturists who looked promising.
 ssThey say he would like to be gov l ehnor.'' ventlred the governor.
 "W1ell, perhaps it is time New Ha- ven was gifted with the off e" said the judge of probate putting in lit tie word for Mayor Studley and big l one for himself.

 1 .sOr two,' murmured Cleaveland to 1 himself, < there are breakers ahead" l Arm in arm the two walked about, l visiting the various attractions at the
 resort. Tn front of the gypsy camp they loitered and in spirit of fun l paid a dime apiece for the privilege of letting Madame Zingarra read their palms.
 "You are unmarried" said the gyp- l sy, as she stretched out the judges palm in front of her, and startled him I with her power. "Ah, politics, your brightening up: IA great politicak hon.
 or is in store for you." Abiram Chamberlain looked up with l alarm and opened wide his ears when l he heard the judge ask of the gypsy ! in low tone. When is this great l honor coming?"

 man, traicng the lines in the gover-
 nor's hand. More political honors, and not far off, either" she continued. lei
 cles began to form on the judge of I probate's spine. Then to the embar- 1 rassment of the two the woman added:
 May I predict you may yet be rivals. " The governor and the judge looked
 at each other in much the same man. ] ner a sohoolboy gazes on the school master who is about to apply the rod.
 "But beware said the witch, roll l ing back her eyes "There is another
 actor in the limelight. Tall and grace l full. He has something here" she said,
 stroking her chin, '.and a bare place 1 there," and she patted the top of her
 head. ''He Is at the head of big city, and beware, for he Is watching your
 movements. Will he defeat you?'' Then 1 she emerged from her trance. e'I will
 answer the last question for S1, gen.
 tlemen." Beads of precipitation stood l out on the foreheads of the two poli- 1 ticians.
 Come on, Abiram,'' said the judge,
 "I don't like this'

 ''Take peep at savin, only 10 l cents" said the fakir with the tele-
 scope.

 The governor took a look and said:
 Livingston, just gaze on 1t; that witch | iss 1sa+ cf 9ar 1 They saw Mayor Studley also pass 1 ing around some glad hands in the
