Zadkiel, the prophet, has issued his
almanac with the destinies of the com
ing year, which the London News
abridges as follows: His Majesty of the
Netherlands will, it appears, suffer a
misfortune in January. Then there
is a strong hint to Mr.. Gladstone and
Mr.. Disraeli for February. On March
next, the German Emperor, in conse-
quence Of Aries squaring Jupiter, will
not do as much harm as he otherwise
might. "The old gentleman, writes the
seer, will be more pacific than in 1870,
when he was in close conjunction with
the Sun, and stirred him up to deeds OF
blood at which history shall yet blush.
In April we are to apprehend troubles
from Ireland; but any one might have
prophesied that Passing over gulf OF
the future, we hearken to the voice Of the
stars for November, and observe that in
that particular month the Prince Of Wales
will not be in as high favor with the
clergy as he has hitherto been. he is
also advised 10 lock 4Ac= his purse
strings. But it is upon the Emperor
Napoleon that Zadkiel spends most OF
his erudition and attention. He claims
to haze predicted in 1852 the downfall Of
the BonapRrtes. He exhibits the En-
perors nativity, and proves plainly
enough that the loss Of the throne Of
France was owing 10 Saturn, ip an evil
hour, having squared Napoleon's .moop.
From that moment Napoleon was a
doomed man. Here Zadkiel is so struck
with the amazing realization Of his
prophecies that be bursts into fits Of ad.
miration, with his hair 90 end, like Kat
terfelts, at his own wonders. He insists
that he has demonstrated himself 70 be
an honorable successor OF Claudius
Ptoleny and the old Chaldeans.

field, of Clark county, for the defend
ants. The case was to have been tried
at the late term Of the Gallatin Circuit
Court, but better counsel prevailed,
and after conference of the parties, the
plaintiffs dismissed their suit and ac-
cepted the original proposition Of Mar
shall Pool and the Townsends, by which
they each received Sl50,000, being one
half of the entire 100000, which, by the
term Of the will, was left entirely to the
two children mentioned. This is surely
case Of magnificent liberality, and GER
tainly does credit to the heads and
hearts of those who generously gave
away half of what had legally came
into their possession, for it is said that
the plaintiffs had not the slightest chance
of setting aside the will as made by the
deceased.

When the French Secretary Of War
undertakes to prevent his soldiers from
knowing what is going on in the world
he had better go about it in some other
way than prohibiting their reading news
papers, which method, it is reported, he
has adopted.
A column ofgrante, six feet in diane

about l60 tons, was recently cut out of a

available in the construction OF the Cap

A man named David Il. Spencer, with

The Saginaw Enterprise says that the

preservation. Every one should know that a dis

This Lock does away with all objections beretotore

over others consists in the following reasons:
1t supports the window at any desired height and
locks 1t at the same time that it cannot be forced

There is no cutting so 10 disfgure the sash
