We have received copy ofa book
which ought 10 interest Journalistic, 10,
asmuch as lt tells them beforehand of
very eyentful, or in vulgar phrase
"lIyelyp seven years, to begin, as near.
ly as We can understand the author

Is entitled " Coming Wonders, Expected
between 1867 and 1875" For the inior.
nation OF the curious we set down here
u list ofthe events which are To .'come

1875.

These events will be followed by "a

"inhdeltly, democratic despotiam and
Jesuitical propagandism; and next In
the catalogue comes a R"great war" by
Napoleon upon the Pacha Of Egypt, In
which the Egyptian army will be de-
feated. The Turkish empire will be
dissolved; Syria will be set up indie.
pendently, a. also Greece, Egypt and
rhrAoe.
These events complete the second
year. The third year Is to begin with
the ascension TO heaven OF "l44, 900 liv-
Ing, watchful Christians;" to be follow
ed by unparalleled religious revlval;"
and this In turn by showers OF hail,
tire and blood, which In turn will burn
up third part Of the trees and grass
causing, II may be supposed, u general
scarcity Of fruit and milk. II may be
useful 10 add that "a few daysn prevl-

earthquake. caused probably by new
purchase OF territory by Mr.. Seward.
Next will come great war, this time
between Satan the Archangel Michael,
which will cause "many Christians" to
fly into the wilderness. This war is to

by -four years fiery ordeal OF Great

out Of which we are 10 come better of
than We were at the beginning. But In
the meantime volcano ID TO tumble
into the sea, and tremendous meteor
Is 10 fall upon the earth, both causing,
as may be supposed, great kissing and
spluttering, and great deal OF dam
age.
Next we are told will follow the re-.
construction Of Europe into ten states,
including Great Britain, all to be ruled
by Napoleon, who will be supreme
head OF Europe, aud thus avenge the
day of Waterloo. He will capture Je.
rusalem, perSecute the Christians, con-
fiscaLe the Romlsh church property,
and cause his Image TO bu set up for
worship.
Then follows, or will follow, a Gam.

heels OF which will come au apparation
Of "demon locusts," aud "snpernatu.
rul horsemen," lasting a year; a season
OF war and pestilence lasting another
year; n great earthquake and eclipse;
and al this moment the good people
who remain alive are to be removed
out Of the way, and succession Of
plaques will fall upon the unlucky fel.
lows who will form the "Can't.get-
away Club" OF the period.
All this, we are soberly assured In
printed book, will happen within the
next seven years-before General
Grant IL through with the second term
Of his Presidency. It Is 10 be noticed
that most of the plaques, wars, earth
quakes and other troubles are to hap.
pen In Europe. Indeed, we have great
faith In General Grants ability to keep
the peace on our side OF the water. He
recently remarked that the country
needs repose; and he IL not the kind OF
man 70 let ACKNOWLEDGEMENT or any
other kind OF vagrant chivalry who go
about making disturbances while our
beloved eagle wants TO sleep.
II may be II satisfaction TO newspaper
readers TO learn that the book from
which we have taken the above predic.
tons Is printed In Philadelphia, the
great depot Of false war news from 1851
to 1865. II has for lrontisplecea portrait
OF the Emperor Napoleon, who looks
as though his breakfast had not agreed
with him.
Speaking after the manner OF proiane
journalists, we should say that II the
author has correctly foretold events, the
newspapers will have lively times dur.
Ing the next seven years; the illustra-
ted weeklies will be worth binding up
for lutAre reference; and the Atlantic
Cable will no doubt tell US daily what
the London Times thinks OF passing
events.
