ALARMING.

PLAGUE OF DARKNESS CoMISG.-GET
YOUR CANDLES READY.
A very dsagreeble prophecy isqouted by
the Journal de Brurelles. The prophecy
is attributed to the venerable Anna Maria
Taigi, and is to the effect that two great
Establishments may be expected-the one
from heaven, the other from earth. The
latter, consists in wars, revolutions, and
other cslamities; being terminated, that
from heaven will succeed, and is explained
as follows; "Great darkness is to prevail
over the whole land during three days
and three nights. 1t will be SO thick that
absolutely nothing will be visible, and
will be accompanied by pestilence which
will chiefly fall on the enemies Of religion,
although the scourge will not be confined
exclusively to them. While this darkness
lasts, no light will shin, no fire will have
any brightness, and only those who have
blessed thing candles p will be ablo to
see
All this is very horrible, and it is to be
hoped that tho lady may be mistaken in
her predictions, and that they may turn
out to be as erroneous rs that of the great
tidal wave which was the other day to
have destroyed New Orleans. The proph-
etess, however, gives full directions as to
the proper course TO DO pursued during
this reign of darkness and pestilence
People are exhorted not to endeavor to
scan the heavens curiously during the
darkness, for whatsoever shall 60 and look
out of window, or leave his house fol-
the purpose of deserving what is passing
in the armament will be Immediately
struck down. The whole time that the
Judgment shall last ought to be employed
IN prayer, and above all in rcciting the
Holy Rosary. The director of Anna
Maria Taigi said, in August, 1864 at IL
most true that the venerable servant Of
God announced the scourge of three DAYS
darkness, extending over the whole earth,

The Rocky Mountain Ne,os mentions in
Sundays issue the following singular fact /:
A man named Miles Maudin was shot by
his sister-in law, four months ago, at a
farmhouse on Cherry creek, a few miles
above Denver city. he has been attended
by DIR. McCleland of Denver, who states
that the ball entered the body of the
fourth dorsal vertebre, scvering the spinal
cord entire, and passing into the right
lung, causing complete loss of sensation
and motion below that point, embracing
Mt least two-thirds of the body. In this
condition he has remained up to date,
with no noticeable change, except the
formation Of several ulcers upon the legs
and hips with no prospect Of recovery.
Remarkable as 1t may appear, he has all
the time good appetite, and also good
mental ability, so that he has been able to
transact any kind Of business. His case

the ball healed weeks ago, and the lung

Cay" A party of Roman Catholic mis-.
sionaries are on their way from London
to this country, charged to labor among
the colored population released from sla.
very by the war Of the rebellion. In the
public exercises, prior to their embarca.
ton, Bishop Manning said the mission
had been determined on by the church IN
England because the British had imposed
African slavery upon their American col.
onies, and it was proper Englishmen
should be first to move for the ameliora-

his poems but himself. So, when a san
. Francisco newspaper reporter i"'er-
views the poet -travcler, the word reads
the account of the visit with the iran
ouil self. satisfaction of finding out what
il has perfect right TO know. And the
publi, a., not disappointed by any
pancity of description of his looks, sur
roundings, etc: He has yellow gold
zen hair which he wears long and
which he does not hesitate to declare
he thinks beautiful. lie has violet
blue eyes, a sensitive mouth partly con-
cealed by glossy mustache and whis-
kers, appears about thirty years Of age,
and weighs, perhaps, hundred and
thirty pounds. There is nothing to de-
note the genius except his flowing light
hair and peculiar hat. lie does not
like large cities, but, having been so
generously treated in London, he is a
warm admirer Of the British public.
He thought New York city wilderness
of humanity. He does not care to be
classed with Bret Harte, John Hay and
other poets Of that class. He will under
take to eradicate all the "crude elements"
now found in his poems, for he hates
such things" and he thinks Walt
Whitman one of the greatest geniuses
Of this or any other age, And this
closed the interview, but from another
source We learn more Of the suddenly
famous writer. After the manner Of
more than one great poet, he has been
unhappy in his domestic relations, and
is divorced from his wife. This lady
writes letter to the public in which
she bungles an excuse for her once
husband, "whose mind is of fine poetic
structure and his brain delicately Or
gained" and who is incapacitated
for the coarse and practical duties Of
providing for family" He left his
family of four or five young children,
therefore, and went to Europe, where
he earned fame and appreciation. All
this is certainly very interesting and is
read with gusto by the curious public.
But after all, will it increase the pleas
ure of the perusal of Joaquin Miller's
really extraordinary book ? We think
not. He wrote some lovely lines to a
at little girl of his, but he did not know
the time whether she were suffering for
the necessaries of life or not. Hence, we
think the " Songs of the Sierras " would
afford more pleasure to the reader if he
were ignorant Of the fact that while the
writer sings like bird of the air, he
acts like a reprobate. Read with O
knowledge Of his family relations, the
description of him by his interviewer
does not induce very exalted feeling
of respect. He has given his songs to
the public, but for its sake and his own
his likes and dislikes, his domestic fail
ings and infelicities ought to be as lit
tie meddIed with as any ordinary John
Smiths or Thomas Jenkins.
