They had sufficient Influence to set up a majori-

whicn was drafted by their attorney. They
even succeeded In securing "a their advocate on
the floor OF the House, Twoed's prosecutor, Mr..
Tremain, and the great Democratic lawyer from
Ohio, Mr.. Jewett; but bold incisive speech 10y
MIR. Wilson NJ Indiana, representing the mtuori-

Will prove to be common cheats While
the panic will commence, from all appear
ance, in railroad circles, and will be con-
fined for a time to the new western enter
prises, iT will spread finally to the Nation
al Banks, and will deyelope an amount of
rottenness in those institutions which is
now beyond the power of the imagination
TO conceive
5. Ipredict in ten years. time the North
ern Pacific Railroad enterprise will be re-
garded as one OF the most astounding in
stances Of human crednlity and folly. 1t
will be matter of profound aStonishment
that among a business community. tens
of thousands of sensible men could be
found to invest money with hope of profit
in a railroad which began nowhere, ended
nowhere and ran for the most part through
a bowling wilderness. That this road
may be built, is possible; that it can be
is too crazy chimera to be for moment
entertained.
6. predict that when all the great Pa
cific roads break down, as break they
must, an immediate demand will be made
for the Government to control and run
them. This will be the entering wedge for
the final control of all means of rapid
transit by the central Government.
Z. Ipredict that before the breakdown
of our railroad system, corruption will be
rampant in Washington; the railroad
rings will run the Government wherever
their interests are at stake.
s. 1 predict that very few will pay any
heed to these prOphesies, and that aftel
they prove true they will have been tor
gotten, and another instance will have
been given how prophets are not hOnOred
in their own time and Nation, in the fate
of A POSITIVE PREDICTOR.

ear is supposed to represent about Is vi
brations per second, and the sharpest,
As 600 per second.
The auditory range of animals is
doubtless very different from that OF
man; they hear sounds which are insen-
sible to US, and vice versa. Many per-
sons are insensible to the scream of the
bat-it is too acute. But to the bat itself
that sound must be in all cases perfectly
tensible. If, then, we suppose the bat
to have an auditory range of II octaves.
aud its scream or cry to stand midway in
that range, the animal would hear tones
some six octaves higher than those au-
dible to the human ear-two and a halt
million vibrations per second.
ScOresby and other arctic voyagers
and whale-hunters have observed that
whales had some means of communica-
ting with one an other at great Gistan-
ces. 1t is probable that the animals bel
low in Il tone too grave for the human
ear, but quite within the range of the
cetacean ear.

FROM time to time we have given place
to singular prOphesies concerning ma
tional affairs, but possibly have never
published one more definite than the
following. AS given below the predic-
tions were written by D. G. Croly, of
New York, and published by the Modern
Thinker, December 1872. The prophecy
In regard to the financial crisis: is, in a
measure, being ulfilled-although it re-
mains to be seen whether 1t will reach
the extent Indicated. AS the predictions
are just now attracting considerable at
tention, we reproduce them I'm full:
1t is now commonplace of modern
thought that ability to predict establishes
the validity Of any science. TO prove that
sociology has made some advance in the
direction of certainty, l venture upon a
few generalizations touching the future:
l. predict that the Democratic party
will never. contest another Presidential
election under its old name and organiza-
tion. The new anti-Administration party
will have another name and will fight un-
der new leaders.
9. Ipredict that questions of admins
tration, such as civil service reform, mi
nOrity representation. the control of tele-
graphs and railways, and the extension OF
the powers of the central government,
will be the main issues in future political
campaigns.
3. predict that within the coming two
years this country will experience the
Worst financial panic known to its history
1t will be more disastrous and wide
spread than even that of 1887. All the
debts created by our paper money era will
he wiped out or compromised. Land will
temporarily fall to one.half it's value.
4. The panic VIII he precipitated in all
probability, by the failure of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, and perhaps the bankers
who manage 1t. This will bring to light
such an amazing amount of fraud in con.
nection with our railroads as to discredii
all stocks, good and bad. The bears will
hold high carnival, The men of most re-
puts in financial circles and on the }street
