Foreman: Cusick, of Eugine Company No. 7, aecompanied a reporter of the Hvening Post to the -cellar lof the building where, in a vault beneath the sidewalk «f Chambers street, the box ‘taken from Fish’s room lay, A fireman \attached to the company opened the box, | which was about eighteen inches long, by ia foot wide, and eight or ten inches deep. |The lid of the box was fixed on hinges. | Within it were twenty-two cartridges, each ‘eight inches jong containing a pound and a ‘half of giatit powder, two smail pistols with jwire triggers, a glass frat jar, rabber ‘tubing, etc, In one corner of the box was the smaller box wrapped in paper, bearing jthe card upon which waa weitten: “Sure death to the one who opens this box.”’ ‘This box ‘had aot been disturbed, ‘and no one cared to handle ~ it, ‘About 1l o’clock Chief Mahedy, who had been engaged ail the morning in a scarch fora frend of the man Fish, returned to (his headquarters, and at once went to the )cellar of the building and opened this box.

It requi:es no ‘expert to detect the Variations, Any pair of bands will exbibit marked differences, which will, when: pointed ont, be readily | recogniz d by one of ordinary perception. | Usually the, hands differ im size—fre- | quently diffeting in length and thickness, |and in firmness and colur. The fiogers are | often—generally—of different comparative lengths, and. exhibit also other divergent peenliarities, which will be readily noticed by any one who reads.and remenibers what we shall have to say abeut fingers further on. ; A very slight examination of any pair of hands will show that the principal lines even are not exactly alike in the right and left ‘hands. A careful examination will usnally show that no single line in ove hand is exactly like its fellow in the other hand. ‘ I have frequendy found two persons in whom the right hand of ome was almost jike the right hand of the other, and whose left hands were mnch alike; bnt never a person whose right and’ left hands were counterparts. . : }' This cifference between the hands must be carefully notedy-and the extent and meaning ofthe variation kept constantly in mind while reading the personal peculiari- Aies. ; ; The left hand indexes the person’s nataral emotions, inteectnal peculiarities and pby- sical status. , . The right hand «points out the direction in which the individwal is developing, and the progress made in the modification of the original possibilities into actual charac- ter. In the case of “left-handed” people this rule is reversed. In short, the passive hand exhibites the inherited capital of affection, thenght and action, while the active hand indexes the character as developed The Astral palmists tell ne that if the lines are alike fair in both hands, they show that the person retembles the father as to paysic I form, and is like the mother in mental atid moral endowments. The right hand Keine the’ clearer and fairer, shows that the individual resembles the father in physiqne, temper and mind; this resem: blance increases as the right hand is fatrer and clearer than the left. The left band exhibiting the fairer lines declares the per- son is to be‘ like the mother physically, utentally and morally, the more 80 #8 the j : it, dia adlay Ube AR, or SJ, Liturlebleyad> Lg hand is ‘nanifestly clearer than the » * a. % .

Fred Archer, the famous English jockey, explains his phenomenal success on the English turf as follows: ‘I never throw a chance away in a race if Lcan help it, am elways looking out to see how I can steal a length or two by getting the rails or anything of that sort, and then I think I generally manage to get well away. But what prople say, ‘and what I sometimes read in some of the papers, about the starter favor- ing Archer, and being off a couple of yards to the good, is net true all the same; in fact, it’s rubbish. Of course, 1 don’t mean to say that I don’t do my best to get away when the flag falls, but it isn’t the getting away first as how you get away—how you set your horse ageing | mean-—that makes all the difference. You can’t set a horse guing at onee if you bave 4 tight hold of the head. , You often seo a jockey at the post on a five furlong race pulling his horse, as nervous as He can be, watching the starter. The flag talls, and he lets go of the reins, bit’his horse isn't ready to slip off thé best pave, [ve always got my horse ready to ga, but mot by palling at him; and then when we do start Im at full speed, at once. If you watch youll often, sea that some jockey is off a couple of leagths before me, but if his horse isn’t just ready, he doesn’t keep his advantage.” >a Uncle Esek’s Wisdom. A very stubborn man is. often wrong, but seldom dishonest. A crank.is.a fool, with more brains than he knows what to do with. The man whb is always anxious to take the chances, imvariably takes one chance too Many. Take all the luck’there is'im the world, and you couldn't makea half dozen genuine successes out of it, There are plenty of people whe know how make money, and ‘how to waste it, but few who know how to spend it. The symptoms of patience and laziness are # near abike that it wonld bether many people to tell which disease they have the more of, ' odt ‘edi te There tf néthing’ that showd strength of clmracter more® than eccentricity if it is autural, and nothing that shows weakness more if it is artificial, ‘What the country wants the most just now is‘less religion and more piety, less advice and more example, lesa politics and wore patriotism, and jess pedigree and more pluck. - - =——ae ---—— — In Maine every distillery and brewery has been absolutely closed, and there is not an open digm shop outside of three or four cities, where cffice-holders neglect to do their duty.
