ANCIENT PROPHECIES.

Apropos of the present war and the fate of
Napoleon III, Notes and Queries has the fol-
lowing:-'The war has brought to the sur
face the following prophecy of the famous
Provencal poet and seer, Nostradamus, who
died about 1916. He was born in the south
of France, and was of Jewish descent. As
physician and astrologer he was held in high
estimation by the French king and nobility:
when the figures of the century,
Added and doubled, both agree,
And seven tens the years decree,
Apollyon in the West shall rise
His naughty head in grand emprise;
Ruin shall mark his fierce advance;
War in his mien, death in his glance;
His engines of destruction dire
Shall fill the air with bolts of fire;
His metal ships shall scour the flood
And turn the rivers course with blood.
Two kings in Gaul aud Italy,
Three crowns shall bear, thrice chosen be;
The eagle empires then shall war,
And spread their desolation far;
The one that most on others preyed
Shall be defeated and dismayed;
The one that warred for fancied fame
Shall lose his kingdom and his name.
The North shall come like beasts of prey;
The South shall mingle in the fray:
The East shall Memnon's statue raise;
The West shall see her cities blaze;
The Crescent, waning, shall decay
Before the beams Of the new day.
Then Apollyon's legions dead;
Then the king with triple head
Shall no more his fatal sway
Over men hold day by day;
Their sun in blood for ever set,
They'll be forgot as they forget.

AN ODD MAN OF THE PAST GENER ALTON
And now from the noble profession of letters
emerges an odd man of the past generation
we mean that brilliant critic and essayist,
William Hazlitt, perhaps the most three
cornered and untoward man of talent that
ever lived. With all his eloquence and sub
tlety of thought, Hszlitt was the prey of the
most crazy fancies, dreading all the refine
ments of social life, and writhing at the
thought of being considered strange and un-
calmly by the footmen whom he despised.
Even with his oldest friends, like
Lamb and Leigh Hunt, Hazlitt preserved the
wildness and shyness of a misanthropic re-
cluse. He entered room, Mr.. Paterson has
recorded, as if he had been dragged there in
custody, shuffled sidelong to the nearest
chair, sat himself down on one corner of it,
dropped his hat on the floor, and after his set
phrase, not always appropriate, of cit is a
fine day." lapsed into dreary silence, and
seemed to resign himself moodily to his fate.
If the talk did not please him he sat half
absorbed and Indifferent, till at last, by a
sudden impulse, he started up, and with an
abrupt "Well, good morning" shuffled to
t he door, and blundered his way out. His
self-consciousness was morbid almost to mad
ness, and his pride extreme. His daily life
was of that suicidal character sometimes
adopted by authors who despise the laws
penalty of softened brain or premature
paralysis He usually never rose till 1 or 9
o'clock, and brooded over his breakfast of
intensely strspg black tea and toasted
French roll till or in the afternoon,
''silent, motionless, and self-absorbed" as a
Hindoo Yoger. His tea was generally very
strong, as he half filled the teapot with tea.
For the last four or five years of his life,
Hazlitt drank no liquids but tea and water
of the latter he sometimes drank three or four
quarts while talking after supper. This meal,
of meat or game, was invariably taken at a
tavern late at night. His favorite haunt for
his great talks was the Southampton Coffee
house, in Southampton buildings Chancery
lane. Any small slight, or the mere fact of
the bill being brought him before he asked
for it, scared him from tavern or chop-house
for years.
If he went to the theatre, even to see won-
derful Kean, Hazlitt hid himself in back
corner-seat in the second tier of boxes, and
there he sat like sullen owl, shrouding him.
self from view, and trusting apparently to
mere quick glances and odd moments of
listening. English Society.

MINERAL WEALTH. OF TIE WEST.

The stories of the wonderful mineral
wealth of the Western Territories are often
so incredible as to be taken for pure inven-
tions, which many of them doubtless are, and
yet some come SO directly from responsible
parties, they must be taken as containing a
large percentage of truth. OF this class, we
think, is the account in the st. Louis Journal
OF commerce, purporting to be the
result OF survey of Iron Mountain,
in Wyoming Territory, made by Judge
Kingman, of the supreme Court. This
mountain, situated afew miles northeast of
Laramie, is an isolated peak or cliff about a
mile long by several hundred feet wide. and
nearly two thousand feet high. The ore is
stratihed, and is entirely free from rock or
earth of any kind. The blocks are black,
smooth, heavy, sharp edged, and crystalline
and break with a fracture almost like cast.
iron. Near the mountain, of which it was
formerly part, are the Black Hills,
a ridge of land running nearly north and
south, about two thousand feet high, twenty
miles across its level top, and of unknown or
at least upsteted, length The ogtcFoppings

TIBER1Us.-Few regulations have profted
more largely than that of the Emperor Tibe-
rius Ly the general revision of historical
judgments which has been going on ever
since history has been elevated by modern
criticism to the rank of a science. The
cause of the especial infamy under which
Tiberius has labored is easily discovered.
The crimes and vices imputed to him were
imposing and picturesque, exciting the
Imagination by their enormity, and
stimulating curiosity by the mys-
terry that enshrouded them. His
virtues, those of a just and sagacious admin
istrator, were not likely to attract the atten-
tion of the historian SO long as his task was
limited by his own conception of it to record
of the court, the camp, and the Senate. The
bright side of Tiberius' character was, there
fore, practically non-existent, and the rigor-
GUS estimate of monarch according to his
fulflment of his public duties, which has
destroyed SO many splendid regulations,
proved highly favorable to his. There are,
however, few more conspicuous instances of
the invariable tendency of reactions to run
into extremes than the recent endeavors to
elevate the sullen recluse of Capree into
something of saint, and very much of a
martyr.

all over this vast plateau show the ridge to
belong to the same deposit with Iron Noun
tain; and the Judge. closes his account with
the remark:-''There is more pure magnetic
ore in the Black Hills of Wyoming Territory,
above ground than all the teams of North
America can haul away in lifetime"
Another story, often secuted as a fable, but
now become an established fact, is that rela-
ting to the immense natural deposits of soda
in Churchill county, Nevada. The geologist
of the General Land Office, after describing
these singular deposits, declares that ''pure
potash and soda can now be manufactured to
any extent, and the immense quantities con-
sumed in the arts of civilized life need no
longer suffer any restriction" He adds that
the important and comparatively rare sub
stance, bromine, may be there gathered in
quantities great enough to supply the United
States. Its recent employment in preparing
aniline dye colors has greatly increased the
demand, and it is now manufactured by the
hundred weight.
Equally incredible in their extent are the
immense coal fields brought TO light by the
geological surveys in Texas and New Mexico.
The carboniferous formation is said to cover
six thousand square miles, with an average
thickness of three hundred feet. One vein.
five feet in thickness, proves to be pure an
thracite, hitherto supposed to be the exclusive
product of Pennsylvania. These almost ex-
haustless stores, laid away for future use,
taken in connection with the vast forest of
timber not yet broken, and rich farming lands
that have not yet produced the firs] crop, are
perhaps the most conclusive proofs of the
future greatness of our country and the best
refutation of those who are annually predict
ing the end of the world.-Detroit Post.
