Mr. Jay Charlton, of tlie Daribury "News," icports an Interview with (t New York fortuno teller as follows : The other day I saw on tlio..6ign ot a small bttck liouso.lu one of the unprc tentlous avenues, theso words : "Mad ame Le Diane, Clalravoyant and As trologlst." In tho fun of tho moment I went In, and .wis ushered Into a back sitting-room. A young countryman was soon my companion., and 1 cheerily asked him what ho wasafter. Said he : "I want to Olid out whether I'm go'"' to win in a lawsuit In a Justice's court, about a black maru with n docked tail. I come from Goshen; w hero, do you como from? ThU hero woman. It In seo right through an oak-plank." 1'rcs cntlytlio door opened, and a jilf, dis tinguished woman, 'with BllvcrJ-gray hair, threw open wldo'tlie dotir. You kuow how Poo dld it ylieiilib wanted to seo out whero old Nevermore was. Tliat'Ai-'thelwailiodliilt. kSheTloolceil as dlgnlQcd as a bis sun-liower. I staraniered "Misses ?" You see. I wasn't going to glvo mysolt away by being too sharp. Said she, as her head followed my movements atf tho afore said sun.!lower follows the suu (It It does), "Madame, if you pleaso." What llttlo human prldo was In tno waltzed out of my being as I gazed up on tills elegant female woman. I 'umb ly began : " 'Prophet !"' said I, " 'thing of whom tho angels c.ill Lenore." Here I saw I'd put my foot into It, and 1 broke down. But I had to gu It madly because I didn't want to burst out laughing at my learned colleague from Goshen, with the dock-tailed mare. Sho saved me, by sweeping giandly.lnto the pallor, putting up hex long finger, as Evarts puts his up In the leechcr cate. So I walked, soinowhat between laughter airl timidity, Into the Night's Plutonian Shoro. Sho motioned me to a chair which stood before, a small la,b!e. Sho grandly sat in ono opposite Then drawing six thickness- , , , "yi es of something like a black crape Iron tWi ---J j ''-rider over hep eyes, sho said In a grandly sepulchral monotuuo': "lour lifowlll bo long TvUt!f60tne cares. An enemy bcseti your path. l ware of a false, frlcpd who will try 'to do you a wrong. 'You will como out of It all right, ono dollar Is uiy charge." I put one dollar upon tiio table, thinking that there wero ten sodas gone. l)ut I said, "Madame, I would like to knavy what kind of a girl I'm going to have?" Here sho rose, went behind my back to n tide-board, and brought back one empty tumbler. Holding it before my eyes, the graudly said, "you are satis fied, I hope, that there is nothing lu It." 1 paid I was tallsUed. Whereupon sho went behind mo again, and brought tho tumbler pat pie with a paiallelogram of paper iu It. I taw the paper was dimly white, with a llitlo yellow smear, lug on It. From a half-pint bottlo she poured a reddUh liquid luto a littla wa- 'ter, and then poured the mixture luto the tumbler. After a moment, hi r fln gers went Into the tuinuler, drew out tho paper and tore It up. t had it on the er.d of my tongue to say, "the acid didn't bring the photograph out j" but tbnt would have spoiled evorythlng. So I meekly bowed when, slio said, tho face Is riot pt'rffCt jot, but It Is very, very, beautiful. I congratulate vrni.'A Sho tred a can and waved n' stick over tho mixture. This time thu I and vellow lover unoa tbo table with ..1... ,.,...,,.,.. n n.iil ilia lnlil 111V Wl-L nn air ot Persian triumph, ner aus tere magnanimity lowered if self to tho earth as sbo' said, "It is very, very beautiful. Ono dollar for tho picture" I laid ono dollar In hiy sadness bcsldo my bronifo, but drying, Jover, thinking, "ten more sodas gone," "Two," sho said. "Two?" I repeated meekly. Yes," said she, "two." But you said ono." "Oh I ono was for the pic ture, last one for tho condition I was In. It hurts mo to produco so beautiful a picturo gf tho clrl you aro to love." "But, madamo, you don't tell me about her." Then elie spoko up, la her wrinkled grandeur, wlth'a tone of vin egar gurgling oul oi a Dung noie. "Yon will marry her within a .month. Sho-will como to you." I rose to leave, and sho said, "A dollar I" "What for?" Tlio fortuno." "But that goes with tho picture." 'Tor tho first ad vice." "I paid a dollar for that." "I meant two dollars. Let that go. I hope you two will bo happy together. Tho first ono will bo a little glil." I left her to my ftlend from Goshen. Tho process by which sho produced the picturo Is a slmplo one. Tho prln's aro thoso of photogrnphs, unvarnished, and bought by the dozen. A, llttlo chemical mixture Brings oat tho fea tures. One faco wilt servo for a dozen lovers. Tho ono I got was1 that of, a prominent actress, mauled, as I am, to "another." I havo a photograph of tho lady exactly llko that produced by tho Incantation of the grand grtmmoner. Yet this womau probably makes a plen ty ot money. Cojtittion Sense. It has been said lu another form ot expression that the slightest expenso over lucomo is prov0rty,and tho slight est excess of iuoame over oxpenso Is wealth. The ability to master this great problem of life is not so much de pended upon what wo know of our business as on tho faculty tu apply what wo do know. Success lu business is due to administration. Capacity In administration 13 duo to thaWaculty power or quality , called common sense, which everybody speaks well of and nobody-'undcrstands extclly. Wo Infer Its presence or Its absenco from the re sult of a man's life. Wo venturo upon a dcOultion of tho phraso wo are using, not so much for the purpose of making Its meaning clearer as for the greater purpose of giving it a loftier placo In our thoughts. Common seuso Is a de gree a high degree in fine, tho high est degree of human wisdom applied to practical things. It is not learning, -It Is not knowledge; It Is rather tho facul ty of applying what wo know to what wo do. Other things being equal, tho practical man who knows the most will do tho best; but other things not being equal, a man who excells In wisdom of administration may surpass a man of greater learr.Ing, or even greater know ledge of things. Butdo not allow this buirnnstlon to lead you to placo a low estimation upon learning, whether gen eral or professional! culture of every sort, glyes capacity to appreciate wis dom, untl opportunity also for Its excr- cUo.

' llilsl" A Cart Iioad or Cash. Twenty-two years ngo, ns the story runs, Mr-Pendloy was living at Sugar Hill, Ga., and was then engaged In gold mining with Moses Lott. Lott had heard of a very rich silver mine from John Lumpkin. Lumpkin had heard of It from a Baptist preacher, who lived near Carnesvllle j the preach er had heard of It from a man who hod died near him, and who on his death bod had given the preacher a minute description ot tho tnlno and Its sur roundings. Lott told Pendley.that the stranger on his death' bed said that he and other South Carolinians had come out among the Indians hunting gold aud silver ore j that they crossed the Ocouco at Hurricane Shoals, proceeded along a wcll-kuown Indian trail to tho Chattahoochee, went down tho Chatta hoochee to tho raoulh of' a largo creek, and In huntlng a placo to cross, went up the croek some distance, where two ol tho Carolinians the stranger being one were captured by a company ot Spaniards, were carried at night some four or fivo miles south of the lieau 01 tho creek, and were put to work In a silver mine during each night, and Just before day they took tho silver oro up on their backs', went due south from the raluo five miles to an island covered with an Itameuso swamp grawtli, aud lu the middle of this Island, In a rule shop, they worked oro and'moulded tho metal luto silver dollars ; that when the Indians fodnd them out they rilled uu the mine with timber and dirt, bur led as inuvh'as a wagon load of silver dollars In the uiiddlo of thu shop, burn ed dowu the shop, released tlio two -South Carolinians, and left ; that ono of the South Caroliuiaus was lost, and that tho dying man was on his way home with the great secret, which he revealed to the preacher on bis death bed. With this account Mr. rendley set out In 1853 to find the mine answering to the description received. In i855 he found an bid mine, exactly answering tho-description. 'It-Is situated-'flve miles due south of Suwannee creek, In Gwinnott county, and the Island Is on Beaver ltun creek, five miles duo south of tho mine. On tho Island Mr. P, found cinders, Indian vessels and Im plements, aud the holo lu the ground! which had been filled up by old Billy Chamblec, who cleared up the Island, and who testified to having found the hole open. Mr. Pendley went to .work on tho old mine, and continued until his small capital was spent, whon he suspended. When ngaln his means en abled him to renew his labors, tlio war came on aud forced him to deter it. In 1871 ho re'.umed work again alono, followed the eld tunnel by sinking shafts far nearly two hundred feet, without finding nnything except un mistakable evidence of the old tunnel, which was filled with leaves, brush, oak post and timber. A.few weeks ago ho reached the end of the old tunuel, and foupd.tvvcln ot mineral ore ono and a half (fcet thick and fifteen feet wide. Above It there Is a layer of While clay ; beneath It thcro Is a hard yellow rock, and ou each side there Is a wall of very hard, blue sandstone. TIiq ore consists of two layers, ono bluelsh, the other reddish brown ; Is very soft somewhat cohoslve and very heavy. Tho Hi ovliy ot Life , It was a sad cynlo who said that youth passes Its time In wishing that It could, and age In regretting that It didu't. But It Is.true that all througli the first half of our lives wo aro think ing what will we do when, onco we get fairly startod, and wo go ou pleasing ourselves with theso dreams until, all of a sudden, we wako up to tho .fact that we have begun to go down tho hill, and that now the time to hope and plan Is past, and tho time to remember and regret has come. Dr. Hedge Is fond ot talking, of tho Ironies of life. Tho sad dest Irony Is its brevity our days aro but a span our life but a "sleep and a forgetting."

A Patiticular Her. Capt Jacob W. Dubois has a hen ot the golden pheasan ts breed which is very partlco lar as to her placo ot laying. Sho al ways comes iu tho houso and makes for a certain cloeet, where she arranges a nest, qnletly deposits hec egg and goes off with a happy, contended little cracklo. If sho finds the doors or win dows closed sho will walk around from one to tho other until she attracts some one's attention and is admitted. When sho comes to the houso she behaves In tbo most circumspect manner, like n well-bred fowl, as she Is, and never says anything to anybody or gets In any one's way. The hen has ainato in a little rooster, who accompanies her about the piemises, escorts her to the house, and quietly waits for her until sho makes her exit, and then wanders off happy and proud In her companion ship.

"Well, then," ho lnqulred,"If you.should wet a quar ter of a yard, would there be any left?"
