A PRoPHECY.-Some curious individual
has found in volume of Littell's Liring
Age for 1854 humorous article from Punch
entitled, 8 A Scene from the Russian Gent :"
in which occurs the following dialogue:
@ Grand Ouch Go along with you
| will not stay and let you make me vain
Farewell you hattering Doctor.
DR.. Cottnan. Wal. time flies
The hour has come for me, likewise, to say
The word of parting and absquatulate.
So, about Sitka?
g Car. TIL your Government
That they shall have it cheap, at their own
Price; III sell it at a loss, SO that | may
The Yankee thorn plant in the British side.
Cott'nan. Wal, good bye Emperor, and
good bye Grand Duke,
Your message | will take to General Pierce,
And we may strike bargain You mean
whilst,
Will lick those cussed Britishers, hope,
Into tarnal and universal smash
Whlttle down all their greatness to pint,
Scutte their island, initiate John Bull,
And of his catawampous carcass leave
No more than an invisible grease spot
The part of this dialogue :" about Sitka -
has come true in Secretary Stewards purchase
of the Russian Possessions. Russia has,
however, not yet * initiated John Bull
And, speaking of Littell's Living Age, we
would remind our readers that it at present
contains entertaining reading and as reli-
able prophecies as in 1854.
BAKERS SECRET SERvIcE.-Some weeks
since, we published from this book, written
by Gen. l.. c. Baker, we'll known as chief of
the secret detective servic during and since
the war. a long and interesting extract, Civ
ing the history Of President Johnson's con
nection with Mrs. Cobb, the pardon broker,
at Washington. The book is a large volume
containing 200 pages, amply Illustrated, and
giving, with much power of graphic descrip-
ton, the history of the secret detective ser
vice. This service, as was formerly supposed
and is now known, was intimately acquain I
ed with a great amount Of disloyalty and
treason that was not, at the time, brought to
the cars Of the public, but which it is now
interesting to learn of; and the volume lets
light upon this hitherto secret chapter of the
contest with rebellion.
Mr.. o. l.. Hoyt, of Cabot. has the agency
for the sale of this work in this and several
other towns in this county. He has already
had very good success in selling the book in
Cabot, and we commend him and the book 10
the patronage Of all whom he may visit.
