"The fools are not all deal yet." Wbat an old
' kackneyed expression I It Is tbe first thought
when wc learn of somebody being "taken in."
It Is the first thoueht wben we hear of the failure
of a bad speculation. Yet how apt we are to
' - blind ourselves to our own peculiar little crertu
Htks; and see with magnifying glasses those ot
other people I
Ever since the world began, we might almost
say, there have been unscrupulous men who for
the S8ke of gain or for mere notoriety will play
on the credulity of others. In earlier times,
indeed, superstition was more deeply seated; and
it was the exception, not the rule, to find a per
son who wa9 not liable to ttr charge of being
Bnpcrsti'.Hiufi. It wits in those earlier aires a
matter of religion to blind the understanding
and lead reason astray. The alchemists, with
their pretended transmutation of the baser
asetals into gold the astrologers, with their
reading of human destinies in the appearance
and motion of the stars the rcligioiulmposlurs,
with their miracles, were all not only counto
nanced, ' but looked up to with a reverence
almost equal to that felt for a deity.
Of these grand families of impostors, the al
chemists are the only ones' that have not
survived. Yes 1 All the civilization, all the
enlightenment of centuries of learning, all tho
exposures ot the tricks of charlatans and
mountebanks, have not sufficed to deter the
fools from running alter the humbugs who pre
tend to supernatural powers. Pick up1 our daily
papers, as we hit in our parlors or in our places
of tubiuees, and we will find their columns
devoted to tho advertising of the fortune-tellers
and the all-curing quacks.
As a matter of course, these cheats are geno-
'. rally most successful withvhe great 'unwashed.
It is in the lower quarters of our cities, where
the "Old C'.o'men" and tho petty pawnbroker
hold lortn, that we meet them. But, sooth to
say, it is not the ignonnt only, it is not the
poor down-trodden laborer who alone seeks their
aid. The rich and educated, that is, those sup
posed to be educated, may be seen consulting
; the false oracles, ruining their health by
- quackery. '
THK "LUCKY" MAN.
There h one brilliant specimen of the genus
bnnibrug that we just now call to mind. He
. keeps, or kept, a small place near Fifth and Lorn
bard streets. Dr. Gohan is his name, we believe.
He is rather a spruce-looking old darkey, and
.-carries hiutasrlf with all the strutting pomposity of
the real old darkey "gcminan of de first water."
.The Doctor is an oracle. What he don't know
a not w ortb knowing. Talk of self-importance!
Perhaps , jaukave seen the inimitable Clarice in
,lae perse nation of "Major De Boots?" Well, the
Doctor h s got his port and strut to perfection,
and he impresses all around him with the sense
of his digi lity. Although he calls himself a doc
tor, it is p rincipnJly as a doctor of the black art
that he is celebrjrred.
He tells luck y.p umbers. In doing eo he falls
into a eimu lated deep sleep, and at intervals b
tween the 80orou8 snores he calls out, perhaps,
four; several', tnores, eleven: some more snoring,
torty-lour; and so until all who wish to invest in
lottery .ticket i are aupplied. ;
The fools tlieve Implicitly in his, power, and
rush frapUcalHy,after the tickets. .Then again,
he sells lucky baar.8. -Vr'hat are thjse f we hear you
ask. Weli, just imagine a little leather or wool
len bag,tk;d with a pioce of twine around the
Beck, and filled with hJts of nails (toe and ten
penny), pieces of atone, brass and other bits of
rubbish, and you have tue contents. Some
"charming" words . are ..repeated over them, and
they are supr-osed to kec off bad luck of every
.description. Tho negroes, who principally deal
in these, wouM suffer anjthing or everything to
oe taken fr.ocs tlu'sa in . preference to having
2het e removed from their pecks.
TtM TREAJSCBB findeq.
If .any person drenm three times t that he. or
he has found a treasure, aad has superstition
strong enough, a visit to tbe Doctor will test its
troth. If the not la available, tbe professor
-takes a waud ff cteel, about a foot long, and
covered with silver plating, and nicely balancing
if ou his forefinger, proceeds to the lucky spot,
Aln'ott invariably the wand refuses to be
attracted -o.it of its equilibrium, and the old
wiseacre tie bia bead nd olem"Jy ay,
"No mi.'y 'tar noUl'nK m ar," and the
Tictira Is ."afntfed.
Once the VoUr lost hW watch aud chain. He
went around' 0I1P hU clarkey acquaintances
and patrons, ad with lite pompous. Important

ii tODBeqnence,
One of the favorite dodges of the old impostor
Is to have a light Yoik waeon drawn up to his
door when his plac is pretty full, an J then ,
putting on his coat with a great exhibition of
nervous bustle, he would shake his head and
wring his hands, and in great excitement wonli
tell his customers, "I can't tend to yon I I can't
tend to you 1 Too much business I Can't wait P
and off he would rash. Then driving around
for a few squares, he would come back all in a
perspiration, and rush Into his store and out of
his coat, and rolling up his cuffs, would ten t nem,
"Now I tend to ye only a few minutes only a
few minutes." Tho old wretch at the same time
would have nothing to attend to outsi K He
succeeds thus In blinding not only the poor And
ignorant, but the wealthy and thoce who ought
to know better. From the wealthier classes he
takes nothing but gold, and he finds no trouble
in lining bis pockets well with his Ices. There are
plenty more of the same descriptl ju ns the Doc
tor. He Is only the representative of his ela.
YE LOOKER INTO YB FUTURE.
If we loo at the advertising columns of
almost any dally or weekly paper, we shall very
probnbly see a notice of some wonderful and
gifted person (woman generally) who sees far
into the future. We must say, however, thatthi't-c
advertisements are getting scarcer in the papers,
as they seem to rftt..pr forbear encouraging them
as much as they used to iu old times. Among
the most famous, or rather notori'jn, of these
was
MADAME ADOLPIl.
She was, indeed, a wonderful woman. Whit
could not sho do? blie can tell you all
you ever have done, and all yon ever ex
pect to do, without ever seeing your face. ' As
lor matrimonial matters, why, there ha 1 ha!
Madame is at home. She will tell you who is
your intended, and when the happy day will
come off. be even knows the color of thii eyes,
tbe Fhade of the hair (and take heed, ye fair
ones), the shades of temper. Another most
wonderful thing she can learn jou secrets by
which you can charm the most obstinate and
cold heart. "Pooh I pooh 1 we hear some hard
headtd skeptic exclaim, "why did she not
charm up a rich husbaud for herself, so sho need
not work for a living?'' Why, bless your doubt
ing heart, she does not work tor the love of it.
She glories in tbe great work it is her ap
pointed mission.
THE ORACLE AT flOME.
Suppose we make a call on the treat aud
infallible M idame, and see if we are going to
have a "destiny. " It is not far from the busi
ness quarters of th city, and the evening is
very cool aud pleasant. Wc pause beforp the
house e'er we rine, and ob-erve the outside of
the oracular abode. There is nothing peculiar,
nothing imposing about it. A plain three-story
brick, wi;h its Philadelphia shutters, the upper
stories green, the lower story white, meet our
gaze. We ring the bell with an involuntary
nervous sort of feeling, and inquiring of the
ugly looking npress it the Madame is in, we are
ushered into a very plainly furnished ante-room,
and are informed that she is "encaged," but
that c he will attend to us presently. Wo look
around us again, but still there are no symbol
oi tbe black art. A leellng of disappointment
involuntarily creeps over us at not at least
seeing a skull and crossboups. The only thing
we observe that would point out the peculiarity
of the mistress' eallins, are the framed pictures
ot two or three celebrated inagicianB hangiag on
the wall.
In a lew minutes she enters, and wishes to
know what she can do .lor u. Instead of th3
tall, solemn, dark-eyed woman, clad in Dlack,
with a cabalistic chain around her neck, we see
a quite ordinary;looking person, with rather
quick, fharp eyes, and a very observant, self-po!-6eBeed
manner. She looks to be every inch a
woman of tbe world, yet there is nothing very
striking about her, except her eyes, which are
restless, and ever appearing to try to read you.
Her dress is some plain brown material, with
out much crnamcnt of any kind. Ou learning
our business, wc areusaered into the "sanctum,"
that dread temple of mysteries. It is rather
a fine large room, handsomely furnished, and on
one of the ude tables is a very handsomely
embossed Japanese cabinet. Several beautiful
and coftly book9 on astrology and kiadred Buc
kets lie on another table. On the walls hang
some rich paintings of some of the most remark
able events of tho world's history. All these
things we hurriedly note as we enter. She
very cordially directs us to be seated, and then
going to the Japanese cabinet, she opens a
drawer, and takes out a pnek of card, on which,
Instead of the customary clubs, spades, etc.,
there are various cabalistic insignia.
These she commences to shuffle, at the same
time drawing us into a brisk conversation. We
then cut the cards, and she proceeds with her
dread secrets. She does really tf 11 us some things
in our past history and some tilings we Intended
to do, which, if we had not a good memory,
and on our guard, would startle us; but
we recollect having given her tho cue in
the previous conversation. In regard to the
future she evinces considerable shrewdness
and kaowledee of human nature, In the way in
which she "piles it on." Here she is in her
element, and her bright eyes flash as she pro
ceeds with a delightful lot of generalities that
would have tickled the old Delphic Oracle him
self by their cloudy ambiguity. In fact, to most
intellects, the information was as clear us "Nile
mud." We were "going to be niarriod happily,"
"make a fortune" we don't seo it), there, were
going to be a few drawbacks," but we would
Jive in happiness and peace, and finally "die in
pot of grease," etc. etc.
We leave her with a kind of feeling akin to
cantempt, and as wo turn from her door we
burst Into a guffaw to think how foolish people
can be to believe In such nonsense. Madame
docs. Indeed, succeed in blinding those poor,
credulous souls who believe anything that is
told Ihem with an air of authority. More espe
cially ii this the fact in regard to the ladies, the
sweet, cred ulous creatures. Tell them you don't
believe the "Madame," aud they will shrug; their
pretty stoulujere with a most impatient air, and
look at you as .it they thought you were a fit
subject for a lunatic asylum.
We give the Madame as an illustration of her
class. They are all educated in the same school.
Those who are not accustomed to close observa
tion and logical reasoning on facts aa they
occur, are very apt to bo' deceived by the plau
sibility ot this class of impoators. They evince
a great deal of shrewdness in their dealing in
generalities, and ia applying information
gained unwittingly from their dupts.or intended
dupes, to carry out their deception!. How well
they succeed in this is a matter of notoriety
too well known by all who have any knowledge
Ot what is going on around them to be dis
puted. It is a weakness thrtl 1. well played on
the desire to know the future. What blushing
yming damsel but wants the picture of the
future shaker of her loys, or would learn the
dear one's name ? What youth but wants to
know the color ot his futnre mistress' eye and
the shade of her hair t

Our policemen In the Sixteenth District may
now rest easy. All the rolls of greenbacks came
from a knowledge of the "seven secrets." We
wonder it the advertiser, E. T. Mayo, belongs to
that band. It so, he must bo a traitor to betray
his tribe. And all lor oue stamp. Oh I ye busL
nes men, plodding daily with wearied brain
after the almighty dollar, take heed. All ye
professional men, close your books and shut up
your offices, for you now have a chance to get
rich, and all for one "otamp." The only wonder
is that Mayo (?) don't get rich himself. Hut,
perhaps, he is undur a spell, or is remaining
poor as a penance. He Is a near relative ol that
kind hearted man that will insure you a lottery
prize of $25,000 or $50,000 for only an X. Such
generosity ought to be appreciated, but, unhap
pily, it is not.
AGENTS WANTED,
But away with the fortune-tellers, the senders
of "love philters" and magic pictures. Let ui
look at another class of the genus humbug.
Here is one right at hand. It is advertised In a
dally paper:
r-tlM A MOVTIl -AQENTK WASTED TO SELL
an artlo'e aa staple .a flour Addiesa who two stamp,
Brown & Uu JSo S7 Broadway, H. Y. .
We sent, once on a time, the required stamps,
and in return got a very dirty-looking envelope,
enclosing a printed circular. It read to the
effect that tbe advertiser had discovered a way
to make honey out of slippery elm bark. He
further goes on to say that he will sell tbe
remainder of tbe receipt for the paltry sum of
$6. The process of converting said slippery
tlm into honey is a complicated ono, no less
than seven operations being gone thronch. He
then very practically expatiates on the immense
profits, allowing so much for manufacture, and
so much for retailing price. His "honeyed"
words were seductive, but It would take some
quarts of honey to make a "V," and "a bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush."
A STATLB B081HE8H.
Here Is another of the same style:
tTT also A MONTH I Ntv nnsivFMO rnn
Agin le. a. B. Bhaw, Aured.Me,
By inquiring, tbe anxious may Wrn that the
one hundred and fifty dollars a month can be
ruade in selling useful little articles, such as
patent barometers, leaa pencil sharpeners, and
a few select patent medicines and other things.
Clever man Mr. Shaw Is, and very liberal. His
business, too, Is of that extremely juvenescent
character that is always new, and al ajs will bo
new.' Go and ask the vendors ot his wonderfully
profitable wares how much thev can make a day
at retailing them, and you will wonder where
the one hundred and fifty dollars a month comes
from.
Following down the same line of advertise
ments, we come across the anxious inquirers
for partners. There Is ono In particular,
whose announcement has been in tho same
paper for months on months. Sometimes it
reads $250. sometimes $31)0, but it is always in.
And then, too, only think ! it is not a ne-v
busires. but an old-established one, and in
Race street, too, where, 89 a general thing,
humbugs are not allowed to intrude. We can
only imagine, if we kno no better, that the
gentleman advertising must bo a very fastidious
roan in the selection of hia "pardner," as his
little "noatus" stays In day after day, as If It
were put in by the year.
We go to his place. It is a neat enoutrh look
ing place. He explains the natn.-e of his busi
ness. A houne is advrtlsed for sale or to rent.
People anxious to know the terms stop at his
office. He refers them to another office down
town, which is a branch of his. Ho previously,
however, charges a fee for this much informa
tion, and the deluded eoe9 to the other office,
and alter paying a fee here too, learns that thf.
Louse ean't be seen for some days, as the o jvner
is not at home; and so the g true goes ou, and
tho poor victims are cast backwards aud for
wards like shuttle-cocks.
It is very rarely that the sharper is caught
up in b'lB tricks. We did see an account the
other day of one of them being hauled over the
coals for hisnelarious practices; but it did not
appear to have any good effect, to judge from the
continued announcements of bis confreres in the
papers. The.y do very often succeed in entrap
ping the unwary, who are anxious to enter
into business with a small capital. Perhaps
e are yi'rong in calling tho above "partner
seekers" humbugs. They would more properly
touie under tho head ot "swindling cheats."
HUMBUGS INNCMkRADLB.
But wc must hasten ti a close, or our article
win swell into the size of a small book rather
than a newspaper a tide. The gonus humbug
is only touched upon. The diffeient species can
be seen everywhere and in every place. We see
them in our places of business, where a man
pawns his watch to get the money to pay the
tax on a large income; in the dandy, as he
parades our fashionable thoroughfare with
dollar jewelry and unpald-for clothes, and stops
at the dinner hour to stand ia the doorway of
our most aristocratic hotel to pick his teeth.
We recognize the species in tho rosy-cheeked
damsel who so raincingly foots it along, with
her tilting skirts, laice culves, Dalpi tutors,
plumpers, rouge, etc. etc. We see them in the
residents of those elegant brown-stones, who
dino in private on a potato or a herring three
hundred and fifty-live days in tho year, and give
splendid dinners the other ten, and who shut
up the fronts of their houses when summer
comes, and live in tho garret until it Is time lo
come back from Saratoga. .
A LAST FOND LOOK.
Again, we find it in the spirit-rappers, who
call up the ghosts of the great departed. Indeed,
this is an age of humbugs. We see them all
around us. Wbeu one delusion dies out, or is
found out, another takes its place. Every now
and then wo will come aerots a store that slls
gold watches and diamond rings for "one dol
lar." Desirous of getting such a prize, we enter,
perhaps, and pay our quarter and get a sealed
envelope containing the name and value of our
"prize." We draw a sets of brass studs, or per
haps a pewter breastpin, with six bits ot glass in
it. Tbe real value is about five dollars tor a ton
weight, or thereabouts. The description price
is about five dollars. Coming out of the jewelry
store, we look In vain for its twin sister, tho
"gilt-book store." We shall even have to search
for our old friend "Cheap Johnny," the Califor
nia auctioneer. , -
Just now the humbug that Is r impantisthe
political. But as even to touch on that would
require one to write as lon a letter as one of
John Minor Bolts', we will refrain, and clooe.
The only good slens we see of their power
being shaken Is the stand taken by our press In
trying to discourage them Tbe papers do not
now fecm with their silly or filthy advertise
mentp, as tbey did Of yore. Is it because people
are really getting wiser, cr because the times
are too troubled to afford time to encourage
them ? As the preachers say, we will hope for
the best, and fear the worst. We can only repeat
the words of the great orator: "0 tempore I 0
mores"
