AN Oswego woman has organized
herself a woman's crusade band,
elected herself president, secretary,
chaplain. Does she go around and
fall on her knees and beg and pray
for the saloon-keepers and old topers
in general? Nay, verify! she makes
it sure success. She just puts a
notice in all the local papers that
she has purchased a shot gun and
a Smith 4 Wesson revolver, and she
will shoot the first man who sells
her husband liquor. He was sud
denly reformed.

THE LYON COUNTY TIMES
extraordinary Prophecies.

Mr.. EDIToR:-About month ago
an acquaintance, who came from
Germany, showed me a slip OF paper
which had been cut from German
paper and sent to him, containing
the prophecies of monk named
Tranquil Wolfgang, who died at
Munich in 1873. Although l had
studied German, was not a good
enough scholar to translate it with
ease, and l persuaded him to do 1t
for me, and send you the results.
In my estimation all prophecy Is the
result of keen calculation. Thus
when he prophecies that France will
be divided into four States he has
calculated that as France is no lon
ger the head of Europe the centrifu-
gal force will overbalance the CEN
tripetal, diversity will displace unity.
The four French parties, Bourbons,
Orleanists, Imperialists and Repub-
Leans. each caring more for its
particular interest than for unity
which no longer gives the directing
power that France formerly had,
will each be strong enough to oc
cupy a portion of the country, but
not strong enough to put down the
others. But, without further analy-
cation, give the document itself, as
follows;

FLoURIsHING A HANKEDRCHIEF
FOR A WIFE some parts of
Europe it is not unusual to bring
about matrimonial engagements by
means of advertisements. Some
years ago it was agreed in a gay
party of ladies and gentlemen, in
London, that an advertisement
should be inserted in a morning
paper, as from young lady, rich
and beautiful, who felt inclined to
the state of matrimony. In the
course of the day letters were re-
ceived from between forty and fifty
SWANS of all descriptions, in reply
to each of whom an answer was ad-
dressed stating that the lady wished
previous to his being introduced to
her, to see him, at the same time
requesting each to be in the pit of
the Drury Lane Theater on the fol-
lowing evening, and dressed in a
blue coat, white pantaloons and
scarlet vest, and Immediately on the
conclusion of the first act to stand
upon the benches, flourish white
handkerchief in one hand, and ap-
ply glass to the right eye with the
other. Everything succeeded so
well that as soon as the curtain fell
about fifty individuals, of all ages,
forthwith mounted the benches,
from the smooth -chinned Adonis of
eighteen to the sleek, portly. self
confident widower Of fifty and the
emaciated bachelor Of sixty, dressed
in uniform according to orders, in
the eayest style and the utmost
nicely, 70 make the deeper impress
sion ON the heart Of the fair prize.
High sweled their bosoms with
hope as with studied action the
handkerchief was aourished and
the glass was raised to the eye. But
who shall paint the astonishment
dismay and rage which were de-
picted in every countenance as they

retfibution is at hand. That poor State
is now, like this, visited with very grave
affection from overflow, and is an ap-
plicant for charity at the hands Of the
general government. At such moment
the voice Of political opposition is hushed-
Not Senator, from Maine to California,
has an objection to urge. All tie bitter
ness engendered by the late war and the
questions springing out of reconstruction
is allayed or forgotten, and the men who
voted millions to suppress civil war con-
scented to give sufficient to relieve the
necessities Of our suffering people. Bat
there wasone exception to this rule of
noble generosity. Senator Alcorn, who
was one of the signers of Carpenters
minority report in the Louisiana case,
suddenly recollected the wrongs that he
had suffered from the people of the State
who made him Senator, but rejected him
for Governor. He prated of prudence and
the errors of the past at moment when
thousands of the people Of this State and
of his own constituents were threatened
with starvation. The hour of peril was
thus chosen for the hour of reckoning
and the warm impulses of charity chilled
by the cold recital OF human errors COM
mitted long ago. Louisiana has but one
Senator, while Mississippi has, apparent
ly, one too many.

PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE,

No sooner had our Professor Fontaine
announced his full faith in the prophesy
of Eads than he was caught up and trans
lated into the confidence of the Washing
ton ring. Such is the Professors enthus-
iasm for the wing dam, to be constructed
perhaps upon the Manico patent lattice
caisson, that he left this afflicted city under
water from the flood, and betakes himself
to lecture on ''the physical phenomena of
the Mississippi" He has been called to
this work by almost exclusive invitations
Of numerous members of Congress, who
wish their faith strengthened and desire
arguments wherewith to defend them
selves from the charge of having aban-
doned the interests of the Mississippi to
speculative experiment. If the profess
sor shall succeed no better than in a pre-.
vious endeavor to commend the Manico
patent, we shall have no particular appre-
hension. 1t is to be apprehended that
the financial phenomena connected with
the obstruction of the Mississippi outlet
would, if expounded by competent ex-
pert, prove far more instructive than any
thing unscientifc.

invariably combine with each other against
the public, it 10 recommended that no aid
DO given to any route to be owned or con-
trOlled by private corporations, but that the
four great channels of commerce suggested
shall be improved. created and owned by
the government. and stand a. permanent
and effective competitors with each other,
and with all the railways which may be
within the range of their influence.
There is much balm in these words
'The four great channels of commerce
suggested shall be improved, created and
owned by the government" This let's
the dam builders out. Congress will
never allow the Eastern railroad ring to
overflow the cotton and sugar crops with
wing dams, nor to dump into the river
ten miles of concrete blocks, to infest the
channel or to be removed at the cost of
the nation. We shall be at least spared
the destruction of our crops and COM
MERGE, if not allowed improved modes of
navigation.
The report of the House Committee on
Commerce renders improbable any appro-
priation for any of these new works at
this session. Yet, in looking to the ap-
preparations for the upper Mississippi, we
suspect the same tendency to reverse the
trade of the valley and make its debouchure
In the Gulf of st. Lawrence or Long
Island sound instead of the Gulf of Mex
leo. The appropriations recommended
for the upper river are over 1926, OOO-for
the outlet $780, 900. From this review of
the transportation report we infer:
l. That no legal impediment exists to
for the construction of in
ternal and interstate improvements.
2. That in view of the debt apd finances
OF the period no federal appropriation will
be made at this session for the construc-
ton of new works.
3. That the tendency of congressional
power and purpose is to improve trans
portation rather in the direction of the
Northern than of the Southern and gulf
ports.
f.. That the question, 'How we should
cut the cake if we had it?" lately under
discussion between St. Louis and New
Orleans, may be safely, perhaps Indefinite
", postponed.
