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.

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,

house, and quietly waits for her until
sho makes her exit, and then wanders
off happy and proud In her companion
