A blind man or woman rtins, much moro quickly than is often supposed, a Imowlodj'o or a now houso or locality, a oorroet notion of space, si.o and oto. Tho noiso mado by a closing door or window gives the practiced ear at onoe lie dimensions of a room, the sound of a footstep tells tho longth of a passago, jo roll of carriago wheels describes tho wtont of tho stroet.

Tea-Cup lrortunc1'elllng. IS . N.. hola. I havo a friend who is quite renowned for her success us a fortune-teller rtirough her skill in shaking and tupping a teacup until the grounds or tea-leaves in tho bottom of toe tea cup assume in a nldo way certain shapes or forms repre senting people, nnimals and various ether images which she prufivssos to ndcrstand as referring in some .way to the person whose fortune sho hapjK'UH to bo tolling at the time. I was present onee when sho toll tho fortuno of a young lady. Tho prophecy ' and method of making it seemed to mo to bo very vague; but the gist of it! all was that in a short time a young gen tleman of extremely prepossessing ap pearance would arrive, and overt a powerful in Hue nee on the future pros pects of tho young lady. Wishing to discover what) was in the cup to warrant iiieh a forecast, 1 obta ncd possession of it without b ilng obtorvml. In the bot tom of tho oup I discovered that the loaves hail assumed a form which, with a little aid of the imagination, might bo aooopted as riwoinbling a vory spare, delicate and altogether debilitated young man. With tho aid of a teasixion, and using a few other grounds of loaves that were lying on tho bottom of tlieenp, 1 quickly liRtigcd tho young man into a disrcpuU looking old trump, with a big bundle on kisbaek, and accompanied by a ferocious looking bulldog. Then 1 awaited the result. Presently tho young lady whoso fortuno had been told took up tho cup, with a blush of pleasure, to examine its contents, Tho moment she saw tho droadful figure of tho old tramp she Kclamod, "What a horrid old fright!" Then thero was a great commotion, which was only quelled when I acknowl edged my guilt. Hut I learned some thing, which wits that with a littlo management and a teaspoon pictures f any kind could bo mado in a tea cup. I'oraoiialliy In Handwriting. The Counting-Kotmi. Porsons writing naturally do so with eut thought regarding tho peculiar con struction of their writing. The hand porates tho pen as it wcro automati cally through tho sheer foreo of habit, by which all tho innumerable )Mrsoiiiili taoa uro unconsciously imparted to writ ing. Learners and forgers think re specting their writing, and hence, tho more still and formal stylo of their work; tJiero is wanting tho easy, graceful How apparent in thoughtless or habitual writing. Lines show moro of nervous ness and hesitancy while tho wholo con-j slruction of the writing is more exact and form1'; and, besides, every different handwriting abounds in wellnigh num berless habitual peculiarities, of which Uio writer himself is unconscious, and cannot, tlx reforo avoid. Thus, two oilier iusurmountablo diffi cuties are placed in thu way of the forger: First, to observe and imitate all tho characteristics of tho writing he would Imitate; and, second, to note and avoid all tho habitual characteristics of bis own hand. Habit in writing be comes so fixed and arbitrary (not to montion tho gwat artistio skill required o exactly imitato an unpractieed hand), that I do not conceive it to be possible for any one to bimilate tho writing of another, or to so dissoniblo his own writing, in any considerable quantity, as to defy detection through a really skilled expert examination.

"I don't believe it," was the reply of engineer Frank Crockett of steamer 'l of tho flro department of this city, when ho was aroused from his sleep the other ingiit bv a brother fireman, wno breathlessly informed him that ho had won $15,000 in tho Louisiana State Lottery in thodiaw ing of tho 11th inst. ; " what's more I won't bolievoit until 1 have had positive proof." " fiuppoHing I should advance you $100 on tno strength ol your chances, wouiu you believe it then ?" asked his comrade. " Yes. I might. The fireman w ont out and procured the $100 and handed it to Crockett, who for tho first time began to tcalizo his great good luck. TIich, in tho language ol a friend, " be got up, dressed himself and tried to stand on Ins head in the corner." " Crockett never had $:i00 at one time before this lucky strike," said another fireman to the reporter, " To be sure ho gets $140 a month as engineer, but ho isn't much of a band at saving. Tho ticket that won tho money was Po. w; 080, and it captured one-fifth of the first capital prize of $75,000. " lias Crockett received his money yet?"

Crockott was interviewed, but no amount of oucstiomnir could mako bun say anything further than that ho "didn't care for notoriety," and that he "didn't want anything published about tho mutter."

Lnn)r Moral. ITIie Ontury. A lawyer ought not to sell his services for tho promotion of injustice and knavery. Swindlers of all types are aided by lawyers in their depredations upon society. Tho mock broker who operates m all streot, and strips green country speculators of their hard -earned gains by tho most nefarious roguory, al ways has an able lawyer as an accom plice. The gentleman by whoso agenoy a nest of thesis rascals was lately broken up says: "The great difficulty in stop ping swindles of this class is that tho rascals mako enough money to be able to employ tho wst of legal advico, and aro, moreover, carotin to do nothing which will render them liable to arrest. Tin's is the testimony of a lawyer. Mr. Kalph Oakley, of iew iork. "Iho best lewd advice" can bo had, then, in New York city for such purtiosos. it would Ikj more dilllcult to believe this if its truth wore not so cften illustrated in the stupendous frauds and piracies of groat corporations, all of which aro carefully engineered by eminent lawyers. Our modern "bui'caneors our brave rail road wreckers aro in constant consulta tion with distinguished lawyers. Thoy undeniably have "tho best of legal ad vice" in planning and executing their bold iniquities. Lliui-Klln Hub Mottoes. ' (Detroit Free Pre.

The most crowded spot on earth is the block in New York city bounded by Fourth street, Fifth street, Avcuuo A, and First avenue. Thero are many equal spaces of ground in this city and else where holding worso squalor and closer crowding, but in those cases tho build ings are low, so that tho layers of hu manity are few. This square is solidly composed of six-story tenement houses, each twcnty-llvo foot frontage represent ing four families on each Hour, and theso families womlrotisly proline in children. The number of residents is estimated at over 7,000. Fix in your mind some town with that population, and then imagina it compressed in a single city block. l ll.- Killed lr I I 'clrlt'lljr, Kxehui"l It is stated that billions of insects havo been killed by the electric lights in tho capitol nt Washington nn.l their skeletons are either, hanging on tho walls or aro piled up in heaps all over tho recesses of tho roof.

Tho diplomatio corps, few in numbers at tho commencement oi tno govern mcnt. eradually became a prominent feature in Washington society, and lis manv of tho ministers had liberal allow anccsof "tablo money," they contributed lu no small degree to tho fashionable en joymcnts of tho season. During the Crimean and Italian wars h was am us ing to seo tho cflorts mado by tho representatives of tho ls-1- ligerent powers to avoid cifl'h other in drawing-rooms where they met. Hut now, l'entento cordialo prevails. .Tho diplomatic servants or queen and czar, emperor and kaisor, pledged their re spective sovereigns, and all united in deluding thornsolves with tho belief that thoy play an important political pad hero. So thoy did, in the opinion of the marriageable damsels who aro nattered with their flirtations, or in tuo cstima tion of snobbish citizens who glory in writing home that thoy havo shaken hands with a lord, had a baron to dino with them, or loaned an uttacho $ 100, But, in roality, they are tho veriest supernumeraries in tho political drama now being performed on tho Washington stage, hliould any uilli culty ariso with tho foreign powers they represent, - special ministers would be appointed to arrange it, and meanwhile the corps diplomatiiiue " gives tone to society," and is a potential power in its own estimation. Tho various legations all cxhibfc their national characteristics. Tho British attaches represent tho Bolgravian of tho London magazines their hair parted just a lino oil tho exact center, their soft eyes only one degree firmer than their sisters', while their beautiful, long side whiskers aro wonderful to behold. The Spanish gentlemen ono recognizes by their close-shorn black heads and smooth faces; all courtosy, inevitable pndo and sccretiveness; eyes that, like those of their women, betray a hundred intrigues, because they seek to conceal so is uch. 1 ho exquisite politeness of tho South Americans mako you wonder if you really can bo dust and ashes after this perfect deference, and thoir manners aro marked by more vivacity than thoso of tho Spanish people. Catch one of them at fault if you can. Ho will de nominate tho American wotnen as prudes, and "incomplete," n-s thoy insig nificantly say, stigmatize tin.) country as unendurable, and the peopleas frightfully stilf and cold, withoutgivingonea possible chiuico to retort, by tho dexterous cour tesy of tono which characterizes all. The Argeutino and Peruvian legations aro extremely popular for tho gaiety and the new, excitable pleasures they infuso into tho steady, unimaginative Amen can society. To soo tho diplomatic corps in nil its glory one must a 'end an opera night at the National theatre. Ho will Lnd the diplomutes out in full force, and all cluster togothor in tho front chairs of the orchestra, with a few, perhaps, perched liko crows in ono of tho stage boxos. Uetwoon tho acts tho corps rise up and faeo tho audience, and then they appear i.i all their awful glory. Taken separately, ono would not Ihj seriously impressed, but to bo attacked in diplo matio platoon is overpowering. If ono draws near ho hears a i hattenug in French, liko unto so many jays in mnsi meeting. The go.ls of the gallery finally under took to resent this tacn.g about of the little corps, and when this diplomatic and dramatic m ) a occurred, a general shout of derision went up, and cries of "Down in trout, "Am t wo handsome. and imitations of the croaking crows were heal t; tor, owing to their sombre dress, thrso subtle representatives of elleto despotisms were called crows bv the gods of tho gallery. Tho corps took this assault calmly and with superior indifference, until a few decayed orange and apples came, with indications of eggs in reserve, when the corps graco fully subsided. Occasionally there is a sensational scandal in which somoof the younger diplomates are mixed up, and their respective governments aro re quested by tho department of stat j to recall them. ; I'lider the Hpvtt of a Loromollvc.

Ulauy Strange Thlnii" found on the Lotloin of New Yorlt Bay. INow Yorlt Time. f omotiiuos it Is a different thing from mud that tho dredgo brings up from l.io bottom of the bay. Usually it is in. id, however mud and gravel, bits ot rock, and long strings of slime. It is clean mud, however, and the dredger t li nks nothing of plunging feet lore most into it in search of anything bright tint glitters for a moment in the suu n the jaws ot tho scoop aro jorkod open n! ove tho scow, (.'lose to tuo docks tin mud is not so clean, but tho chances of hiidingsomothing valuablo aro so much greater that tho difference is not taken into practical consideration. Sometimes it is a silver dollar that glitters in the suu and finds a resting placoiu tho scow; ouce in a raro whilo a watch, made use less by long contact with salt water, comes to excito in tho drodger tno wis tering regret that it cannot bo bold or pawned, and quite frequently knives of strange shapo and rusted out ol all win bianco to edged steel join forces w ith bits of broken glass, to cut tho foet of the dredger who treads unwarily along the bottom of tho scow. Twice the harbor dredges have brought up, within the past year, a bright-bladed knuo, show ing along its point and edgoa corroded stain, as though blood had stuck there. Once tho sharp jaws of the scoot cut off both feet -t a drowned man, and tho tido carried tho body beyond tho roach of grappling hooks. A human hand, with one of the fingers bruised as though a ring hud been torn from it by great force, fell out or the scoop soveral months ago. Tho dredgors thought that tho man from whose arm tho hand had been torn had becu led down to a dock whilo intoxicated, and roblxnl nnd thrown ovorlioard by tho members of a gang. Jt is a common practice, but the drodim rarolv disturbs tho bodv. An immonso drag-net stretched across tho Narrows would catch a multitude of strangj and mysterious things. It would be a storehouse ten tiliies mora ghastly than a morgue. There is a tra dition that years ago a murderer was convicted by a bioou-stained knuo brought up in a dredge. Tho names and dates aro lacking. Another tradi tion says that a dredger oneo brought up his own runaway daughter from tho bottom of the river. A ghastly bruise on her tomolo told tho storv of her death. Tho dredger beat his brains out against tho barred door of an insano asylum two years later. Ho had lived sane long enough to murder tho man that ran off with his daughter, and a merciful court sent him to an asylum for tho insane. A third blood-curdling tradition is to the effect that a dredger nursed a grudge against another dredger for many years, honing for ven geance At length when the enemy got botwecn tho jaws of the scoop to fasten a loose rivet, tho jaws closed on hiin, and he was swung out over the water. Then the dredgo went out slowly, and tho last thing that the dredger saw of earth was the face of his murderer grinning triumphantly over tho edge of tho scow. These traditions havo no facts to mako them real, but tho dredg ers bo'iiovo in them. An old Spanish proverb says: "For tho character of the peoplo look in tho bottom of tho canal." New York would not find much of a character in tho bod of the F:ast river, or in tho slip adjoining tho mouth of tho sewers. Wheu tho water closes over the unlawful deeds dono in the darkness or tho night, only the dredgo can bring it back to life. How many bodies weighted with lead lie in tho mud beneath six fathoms of water, how many bodies float out to sea, uo man can know. How greatly tho number of discovered dead exceeds tho number of unknown dead reported by tho police can never bo estimated. Other than ghastly things, however, coino up in the dredge. Down tho bay, a few days ago, a big crab was found in a copper kettle, and an eel was found con tinod in a long-necked bottle, much too small for him. V hue still young he had made the bottlo his home, and had grown so rapidly that ho could not get out. A lizard crawled out of a rusted musket last suiupmt in Burling-slip, and a big "bullhead" was found in a rat trap. A three-toot shark camo up on tho end of a fishing line, and two sting rays were found dead in a crabber's dip net. Hammers, hatchets, saws, adzes, pieces of ship's stoves, pots, kettles, ta ble dishes, and various articles of ship's outfittin'rs seem to strew tho bottom of tho rive?. Few of them aro of uso. Only tho new ones pay tho dredger for his trouble for fishing them out of the mud in tho scow. Thoso that aro of no valuo help fill up the channel again when tho scow is dumping. Some timo in tho future they will be dredged up again, in order that tho channel may .bo kept clear. A Machine lor rrodiiclni Ralu. Soienti:"e Americmi.

It was a box throe foot long, twenty-six inches in depth and eighteen inches wido, covered with red morocco leather and neatly sowed around tho edges.
