BILL NIL'S HORRORSCOPE BE VISITS A PROFESSIONAL STAR 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.

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! Proof of Meric The proof of the merits of a plaster Ls the curse it effects, and the voluntary testimo nials of those who have used Allcock s Porous Plasters during the past twenty five years is unimpeaoliable evidence of their superiority, and shoidd convince the most skeptical.

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. BROAVN'S IRON BITTERS. pi ?
