SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WoRLD.-As
many of our readers use this expression or
have heard it, we reproduce here an enume-
ration of the seven wonders, knowing that
they are new to many Of them.
The seven wonders of the world are among
the traditions of childhood, and yet it is a
remarkable fact that SO persons out of 100
who might be asked the question could not
name them. They are the pyramids the
mystery of the past-the enigma of the pres
ent-and the enduring for the future ages Of
this world. The temple, the walls and hang
ing gardens of Babylon, the most celebrated
city of Assyria, and the residence Of the king
of that country after the destruction of Nine
veh. The Chryselphantine statue of Jupiter
Olympus, the most renowned work OF Phidlas,
the illustrious artist Of Greece. The statue
was formed of gold, and was sitting on a
throne almost touching the summit of the
temple, which was 70 feet high. The temple
of Diana at Ephesus, which was 22O years in
building, and which was 425 feet in length
and 220 feet in breadth, and supported by
III marble columns Of the Ionic order, 90
feet high. The Mausoleum at Harlicarnas-
sus erected to the memory of Mausolus, the
king of the Caria, by his wife Artemesia,
B. c., 353. The Pharos at Alexandria, a
lighthouse erected by Ptolemy Softer at the
entrance of the harbor of Alexandria. 1t
was $50 feet high, and could be seen at dis
tance of 100 miles, and upon which is insert
bed "King Ptolemy, to the gods, the saviorss,
for the benefit Of sailors" Lastly, the Col
ossus at Rhodes, brazen image of Apollo,
1O4 Grecian feet in height, and which was
located at the entrance of one of the harbors
of the city of Rhodes.

4 POsITIyIST PROPHECY.

A very odd and, at the same time, very
dangerous publication is now coming out in
New York. tits called "The Modern Think
er. An Organ for the most advanced Specu.
lations in Philosophy, Science, Sociology and
Religion" 1t is the organ of the disciples of
Auguste Comte, and so very "advanced' that
it would be improper to recite even its table
of contents. Odd as to its subject matter, it
is still more odd as to its typography-black
ink and white paper being discarded because
they are injurious to the "advanced" vision of
the "modern thinker" Alternate sections, of
half dozen or more pages, in green and pur-
pie inks, appear on cream-colored paper, the
effect of which, to retrograde and unpostive
eyes, is disagreeable in the extreme.
At the close of the second number Of this
grotesque publication there is prophecy
which we reproduce in a condensed form, for
the benefit of whom it may concern, and for
what it is worth.
The Positivist prophet predicts first, that
the Democratic party will never contest an
other Presidential election under its old name
and organization--a safe prophecy, after the
events Of last year.
Next, he predicts that civil service reform,
minority representation, the control of rail-
ways and telegraphs, and the extension OF the
power of the central government will be the
main issues in future political campaigns
another safe prophecy after the facts
Next-and this is somewhat new-he pre-
diets, within the coming ten years, the worst
financial panic this country has ever known,
more widespread and disastrous than that Of
1S37-all debts created by our paper money
era will be wiped out or compromised, and
land will temporarily fall to half its present
value.
This panic will be precipitated, in all prob
ability, by the failure Of the Northern Pacific
Railroad and, perhaps, of the bankers who
manage it. Amazing frauds in connection
with our railroads generally will discredit all
stocks, good and bad, and the panic extending
to the National Banks "will develop an
amount of rottenness in those institutions be-
yond the power of imagination to conceive" 4"
Fifth, he predicts that in ten years time
the Northern Pacific Railroad will be regard
ed as one Of the most astounding instances OF
human credulity and folly. Sixth, that when
all the great Prci6c railroads break down, as
break they must, an immaculate ue"iailo VIII
be made for the government to control and
run them-and this will be the entering wedge
for the final control of all means of rapid
transit by the central government.
Before the breakdown Of our railroad sys-
tenn, he predicts, seventh, that corruption will
be rampant in Washington-the railroad
rings will run the government wherever their
interests are at stake-and he winds up with
the eighth and last prediction that few will
heed his prophecies, and after they prove true
they will have been forgotten, thus furnishing
another instance of prophets being dishon'
ored by his own people, Charleston Neacs.
