READER.
How His Past Was Raked Up and His
Future Predicted- Interesting Infor
mation for $1 He Is Warned to
Beware of Certain Bad Men—A Deli
cate Point of Etiquette Are As
trologists Deteriorating ?
From the New York World.
“Ring the bell and the door will open," is
the remark made by a small label over a
bell-handle in Third avenue, near Eighteenth
street, whore Mine. La Foy reads the past,
present and future at so much per read.
Ixnje, marriage, divorce, business, specula
tion and business are there handled with the
utmost impunity by “Mine. La Foy, the
famous scientific astrologist,” who has
monkeyed with the planets for twenty years,
and if she wanted any information has “read
it in the stars.”
I rang the bell the other day to see if the
door would open. It did so after considerable
delay, and a pimply boy in knee pants
showed me up-staire into the waiting-room.
After awhile I was removed to the consulta
tion-room, where Mme. La Foy, seated be
hind a small oilcloth-covered table, rakes
up old personalities and pries into the future
at cut rates.
Skirmishing about among the planets for
twenty years involves a greal deal of fatigue
and exposure, to say nothing of the night
work, and so Mme. La Foy has the air of
one who lias put in a very busy life. She is
as familiar with planets though as you or I
might be with our own family, and calls
them by their first names. She would know
Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Adonis or any of
the other fixed stars the darkest night that
ever blew.
“Mme. La Foy De Draw,” said I, bowing
with the easy grace of a gentleman of the
old school, "would you mind peering into
the future for me about a naif dollar’s
worth, not necessarily for publication, et
cetera.”
“Certainly not. What would you like to
know?’
“Why, I want to know all I can for the
money,'’ I said in a bantering tone. “Of
course I do not wish to know what I already
know. It is what Ido not know that I de
sire to know. Tell me what Ido not know,
madame. I will detain you but a moment.”
She gave me back my large, round half
dollar and told me that she was already
weary. She asked me to excuse her. She
was willing to unveil the future to mo in
her poor, weak way, but she could not
guarantee to let a large flood of light into
the darkened basement of a benighted mind
for half a dollar.
“You can tell me what year and on what
day of what month you were born,” said
Mine. La Foy, “and I will outline vour life
to vou. I generally require a lock of the
hair, but in your case we will dispense with
it.’’
I told her when I was bom and the cir
cumstances as well as I could recall them.
“This brings you under Venus, Mercury
and Mars. These three planets were in con
junction at the time of your birth. You
were bom when the sign was wrong and
you have had more or less trouble ever
since. Had you been bom when the sign
was in the head or the heart, instead of the
feet, you would not have spread out over
the ground so much.
“Your health is very good, as is the
health of those generally who are born un
der the same auspices that you were. Peo
ple who are born under the reign of the crab
are apt to be cancerous. You, however,
have great, lung power and wonderful gas
tric possibilities. Yet at times you would
be easily upset. A strong cyclone that
would unroof a court house or tip over a
through train would also upset you, in spite
of your broad, firm feet if the wind got be
hind one of vour ears.
“You will be married early and you will
be very happy, though your wife will not
enjoy herself very much. Your wife will
be much happier during her second mar-
rinse.
‘•You will prosper better in business mat
ters without forming any partnerships. Do
not go into partnership with a small, dark
man who has neuralgia and a fine yacht.
He has abundant means, but he will go
through you like an electric shock.
“Tuesdays and Saturdays will be your
most fortunate" days on which to borrow
inonev of men with light hair. Mondays
and Thursdavs will be your best days for
approaching dark men.
“Look out for a low-sot man accompanied
by an office eat, both of whom are engaged
in the newspaper business. He is crafty and
hald-headed on his father’s side. He print*
the only [>oper that contains the full text of
his speeches at testimonials and dinners
given to other people. Do not loan him
money on any account.
“You would succeed well as a musician
or an inventor, but you would not do well
as a poet. You have all the keen sensibility
and strong passion of a poet, but you haven’t
the hair. Do not try poesy.
“In the future I see you very prosperous.
You are on the lecture' platform speaking.
Large crowds of people are jostling each
Other at the box-office and trying to get
their money back.
“Then I see you riding behind a flexible
hoi'se that must have cost a large sum of
money. You are smoking a cigar that has
never been in use before. Then Venus
bisects the orbit of Mai's and I see you going
home with your head tied up in the lap
robe. you ami your spirited horse in the
same ambulance.”
“But do you see anything for me in the
future, Mine. LaFoyer?’ I asked, taking
my feet off the table, the better to watch
her features; “anything that would seem to
indicate political preferment, a reward for
past services to my country, as it were?”
“No, not clearly. But wait a moment.
Your horoscope begins to get a little more
intelligent. I see vou at the door of the
Senate chamber. You' are counting over
your money and looking sadly ct a schedule
of prices. Then you turn sorrowfully away
and decide to buy a seat in the House in
stead. Many years after I see you in the
Senate. You are there day after day at
tending to your duties. You are there
early, before any one else, and I see you
pacing buck and forth, up and down the
aisles, sweeping out the Semite chamber
and dusting oft the seats and rejuvenating
the cuspidors.”
“Din's this horoseo|)C which you are using
this season give you any idea ns to whether

“Towards the last of tbe work you will

A RACE OF NONDESCRIPTS.
The Queer Tribe that Exists Within
Twenty-five Miles of New York.
From the Few York World.
Within twenty-five miles of New York
city, in the range known as the Closter
Mountains, in Bergen county, N. J., lives,
or rather exists, a tribe of nondescripts
known to the denizens of the surrounding
bailiwicks as the “Jackson Whites.” So far
as can be ascertained, these people have no
other name, and as to its derivation even
the oldest inhabitant kens not. The home of
the tribe is in the densest part of the moun
tains, and within a short walk of Englewood,
and for the precarious existence they
enjoy the Jackson Whites forage liberally
on the fanners of the last mentioned place
and Closter, Demarest, Tenafly, Norwood
and other neighboring villages, and some
times wander over the State line into
Andreville, alias Tappan. When walking
is good he occasionally wafts his undesired
presence into Hackensack. He is seldom,
however, seen in the “County Seat,” unless
court is sitting, and then he generally conies
over at the earnest invitation of some vil
lage constable, who always appeal's so fear
ful of losing him that he either adorns him
with bracelets or secures him to the bottom
of the farm buggy with ropes.
The Jackson Whites are for the most part
under-sized, and their complexion is a cross
between that of a last year’s dishclout and
that of a mauve mule. ” They have banjo
head features, queer eyes and hair that
might be like that of the Caucausian if it
could be introduced to a comb. They speak
fair English and good “Jersey Dutch," and
semi-occasionally pay their debts. In their
season blackberries, whortleberries, wild
strawberries and other fruit are the princi
pal articles of commerce of the Jackson
White. In the winter time he becomes a
huntsman, and the rabbits and squirrels are
his especial game. These he disposes of for
their value in liquor, and when he
can’t get squirrels or rabbits he
raises chickens by vandalizing the
nearest poultry yards. Once in a while a
Jackson White so far forgets himself as to
work a little. He is a firm believer in
woman’s rights, however, and will never
permit himself to be so ungallant as to work
if any of his wives are about. In the har
vest season the women of the tribe can be
seen engaged in the hay, oat, wheat, corn,
rye, buckwheat, pea, tomato, turnip or po
tato fields of Bergen county, while their
male friends hold down the top-rails of the
adjoining fences earnestly awaiting the ar
rival of pay day. Then they visit the near
est village inn, and men and women alike
flock about the bars. In many cases the
women can outdrink the men.
Any farmer in Bergen county will tell
you that, although he nas known' of the ex
istence of the Jackson Whites ever since he
was old enough to know of the existence of
anybody, he knows as little of their mode
of living as he does of that of a South Sea
islander. For the purpose of ascertaining
something of this life the writer made the
trip to the mountains where reside these
queer beings. Closter is just nineteen miles
from Jersey City, on the northern branch of
the New York, Lake Erie and Western
railroad, and was formerly known as Clos
ter City, to distinguish it from another Clos
ter a couple of miles down street. It boasts
of several stores, a barroom, a couple of
churches, 1,000 inhabitants and about 4,-
000,000 dogs. The virgin end of the Hack
ensack river loafs lazily through the suburbs
of the village on its way toward the Hack
ensack jail. It isn’t very wide at this point
and one can jump across it in two jumps It
isn’t very damp either, and in the dry season
a person can stand in it without getting his
feet wet. Away over in the dim distance
are the Closter Mountains. They were un
canny, dismal-looking, spooky mountains
even on this bright June day. By climbing
the mountain high over a half-trodden path
and through brake, briar, bush and bram
ble, an abode that resembles a dog-house,
with an inverted eoal-shute stop, was finally
reached. Gentle knocks, and tne accommo
dating and hospitable door tumbles inward
and discloses the contents of the ramshackle
habitation. It swarms with dogs of all
sizes and descriptions. The animals having
been quieted by a rough voice, the proprie
tor of the voice emerges from his kennel.
“Well! watcher want?’ comes from ayel
low-visaged individual, who has not enough
clothing on to wad a gun.
The writer produced his bottle, and this
served as the best introduction. The Jack
son White became friendly and offered to
pilot the visitor through the village, or
rather shantyage. A peep inside his hut
discovered three women and at least a dozen
children in all degrees of age, size, dirt and
decollete.
“All your family?’ was asked.
He misinterpreted the question. “Not
all,” he said, “two of ’em’s down in the wil
lage washin’.”
“Your sisters, or daughters?’
“Humph! ray wimmen—them three”—
poi nting to tne adults. “T’other’s my
kids.”
“How many wives have you?’
“Five now, this summer, so far; ’ll mebbe
have mo’, mebbe less, fo’ summer’s over.”
“What is the cause of the rise und fall in
the matrimonial market?’
“Can’t tell much ’bo’t wimmen. Some
limes they takes a likin’ t’ me, V sometimes
fur some un else. Kain’t place no ’pend
enoe on ’em. They’m a queer lot, wimmen
is.”
At this point in the interview a half-nude
girl, probably 15 years of age, came out.
“She’s your wife?’
“Nixey. Darter.”
The young woman, who, with a little soap,
jpight have been decidedly pretty, was
nursing a little one.
“Not ’xactly mar’d,” said the Jackson
White, “but lives with a feller dow'n the
slope. He’s got mo’n he wants now. He’ll
take her back agin when he gets tired of
tothers. ”
“Are all the men as well fixed for families
as you?’
“Some’s good, some wuss.”
“How do you support them?’
He looked*as if he pitied the inquirer’s un
sophistieatedness.
“They wUek. I hain’t got time.”
“What do you do?’
“Sometimes hunt, sometimes fish, some
times loaf.”
“Which do you like best?’
“Oh, I take it as it coine. Hain’t par
tickler!"
All through this rude region the same
mauupr of living appeared to exist. As
near aa could be judged, there were about,
200 people in the settlement, but none of
them were such as one would care to sit
alongside of in a street oar or invite out to
an evening party. Poverty reigned su
preme, if dirt weren’t counted, and all ap
peared to be happy and contented. Over in
the village the farmers said tliat the ma
jority of tne Jackson Whites wore a worth
less set. and that chickens hail to roost high
in tbeir neighborhood if they didn’t want, to
be grabbed. And all this within twenty-five
miles of the metropolis!

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. JUNE 16. I§B7.
COL. INGSRSOLL’S JUG OF WHISKY.
How He Sent a Present and Got a Tem
perance Lecture in Reply.
From the Few York Sun.
My Dear Colonel —You remember, I
presume, once sending your friend a jug of
chronic whisky bearing this label of praise
to his enemy:
I send you some of the most wonderful whisky
that ever drove a skeleton from the feast or
painted landscapes in the brain of man. It is
the mingled souls of wheat and corn. In it you
will Und the sunshine and the shadow that
chased each other over the billowy Helds, the
breath of June, the carol of the lark, the dews
of night, the wealth of summer, and autumn's
rich content, all golden with imprisoned light.
Drink it, and you will hear the voice of men
and maidens singing the “Harvest Home,"
mingled with the laughter of children. Drink
it, and you will feel within your blood the star
led dawns, the dreamy, tawny dusks of many
perfect days. For forty years this liquid joy
lias been within the happy staves of oak, long
ing to touch the lips of man.
Of course, Colonel, you will be glad to
leant how it and he took to each other.
Well, believing you, lie drank of that jug
till “the skeleton it drove from the feast”
came and sat in ugly profile on his hearth
stone—drank till the landscapes in blossom
on the walls of his home he pilfered and
pawned to [taint your arid “landscapes in
his brain.” It was “the mingled souls of
wheat und corn,” you tol 1 him; but ere he
half had finished, it stole away the last re
luctant kernel garnered for growing chil
dren. and it conjured “the mingled souls” of
evil-doing and pauper-living to drive out
the radiant spirits of manhood and a plen
teous life.
Still he hoped, for you told him he’d find
in it sunshine; yet in it he found only raven
shadows, each flapping wings blacker than
its elder fellow—shadows that chased each
other with buzzard greed, for both carcass
and the immortal,and chased their victim out
of the great armchair of rich content up to
the rough pine stool in the dismal garret,
while close beside him they chased into that
mangy shelter the last of one loving woman
with the broken soul, her fever-pinched
young John and little starveling Mary. In
it, too, he found, not your pausy breath of
June, the carol of the lark, and dews of night
that kiss the coining corn, but the stork-mad
blast of December, the bark of the wolf at
his door, and the moldering damps of the
night of despair.
Then you sang to him of the wealth (f
summer and autumn’s rich content that
should twine the neck of your Bourbon
chalice, but it twined for him a barren sum
mer to an angry winter and rags that kn t
themselves together in “imprisoned” dark
ness.
Yet the friend of your fascinating enmity
drank on till, down in the festering cellar
and the crawling sawdust, he loafed and
listened for your “Harvest Home,” but
heai'd only your brutal men and maidens
vendible utter maudlin blasphemy of the
Master, and caught the melody of their
shame in brace of unclean song. Why, sir,
he drank till the heavenly laughter of little
children round his knee died away into rest
less moaning—died into the dying child’s
whispered wail lor bread!
Drank ! Yea, fast and deep he drank vour
dreamy potion off, till deep and fast within
his bloou he felt, never one star-led dawn,
but forever a life eclipsed, the sun of the
future always setting, sinking through the
tawny dusks of the clouded mind toward
that midnight which foretells no day. into
the final gloom of the drunkard—the dam
nation that’s endless in its desolation!
There, declining foe, you’ll find your
friend, and the days of his homage to your
deformed genius being spent, he'll gather
courage to say: “Col. Ingersoll, if from out
thy earthen cask hath crept unto me one
liquid joy, it is that here I look upon its
giver eternally kenneled beside the offspring
of his gift, thy soul a weary, scorched and
quenchless messmate at the feast of thy be
trayal —the host that worshiped thee and
and the ‘feast’ whence the ‘skeleton’ shall
never depart!”
Sir Robert, in ungrateful beguilement of
many unstable souls and the crush of sweet
homes only soberness can build, none—no,
not one—hath so measured up to the warped,
unwashable Crosby as hast thou in thy
stanza of picwe accrediting with life the
death-begetting sweat of the still.
James Clement Ambrose.
Evanston, 111., June 8.
So Has the Ark.
Burdette in the Brooklyn Eagle.
“Alas,” mournfully exclairps a Boston
clergyman, the “old-fashioned way of mak
ing love has passed away with our fathers.”
Iu behalf of the young people of this genera
tion, we return thanks for this blessing.
The old-fashioned way of making love, as
we understand it, must have been a dreary
affair. A man began, if we catch the rat,
by malting love to his father-in-law, whom
he hated, and his mother-in-law, whom he
greatly feared. He called his sweetheart
“Respected miss.” and once in awhile he got
a chance to touch her finger tips icily in a
dance as he teetered past her like a stork on
stilts, for in such maimer of jointless grace
and frosty merriment, children, did your
grandsires dance (pronounced dawnee.)
And for all this —what Horace
Greeley would call “Arctic circle of
frigidity”—my son, your grandfather loved
your grandmother—soft and fragrant be
the “old fashioned roses” that bloom above
her—no better, I wot, than you do the girl
you feed on indigestible caramels and corn
starch ice cream, while you fill her ears with
the most idiotic chatter that ever drove a
sensible man mad. Out! Out with you!
Out of my sight and hearing! By Venus’
glove, if ever again I hear y ou talk to a girl
as I overheard you talk to Kitty last night.
I’ll brain you with something soft, if I
knew where to hit you. .After all may it
not be that our lathers were not such half
baked fools as their sons? I will read over
a few of my own old love letters and see.
