PROPHETIC VOICES.
The Predictions Concerning America
which Sumner Gathered.

The book which Mr.. Sumner had Just
completed at the time of his death, tho
" Prophetic Voices Conccrning Americd,"
quotes the visions Of poets, philosophers
and statesmen of The past eighteen contu-
ries. These predictions are naturally
grouped into TWO classes--the fulfilled and
the yet tunaccomplished.
THE ACCOMPLISHED PREDICTIONS.
These, as Mr.. Sumner collected them,
range from Seneca downwards. 1t was
400 years before the discovery of America
that this Roman wrote his famous lines,
which are thus translated: "Therc shall
come a time, in latera2es, when ocean shall
relax his claims and vast continent ap-
pear, nmd pilot shall find new worlds, and
Thule shall DO no more the earth's bound"
Pulci, the Italian poet, who died five years
before Columbus sailed on his first voyage,
writes:
His bark
The dArlng mariner shall urge far DER
The western wave, smooth and level plain,
Albeit the earth is fashioned like q wheel.
Man was in ancient days OF grosser mould,
And Hercules might blush to learn how far
Beyond the limits he had vainly set
The dulest sea-boat shall wing he- way.
Men shall descry another hemisphere,
Since to one common centre all things tend
SO earth, by curious mystery divine
Well balanced, hangs amid the starry spheres
At our Antipodes are cities, states,
And thronged empires neer OWNED Of yore.
But see, the sun speeds On his western path
To glad the nations with expected light.
Citing also Petrarch, Mr. Sumner passes
next TO the "voices'' uttered subsequently
| to the discovery oil the New World, some
being familiar to the reading public and
others not. Among the most notable oi
those of the colonial period was Cowley
who wrote Latin poem, TO the New
World" more than 200 years ago, in which
occur these lines, or rather its English ver-
sion, published in 1905:
Long rolling years shall late bring on the times
When with your gold debAuehed and ripened crimes
Europe, the worlds most noble part shall fall;
Upon her hanished gods and virtue call
| In vain, while foreign and domestic war
| At once shall her distracted bosom tear
Forlorn, and to te pitied even by you;
Meanwhile your rising glory you shall view
Wit, learning virtue, discipline Of war,
Shall for protection to your world repair
And Az a long illustrous empire there.
Two centuries ago, also, Sir Thomas
Brown wrote;
When New England shall trouble new Spain,
When Jamaica shall be lady of the ises and the
When Spain shall be in America hid,
And Mexico shall prove a Madrid;
whel Africa shall no more sell out their blacks
To make slaves and drudges to the American tracts
When America shall cease to send out Its treasure,
But employ It at home in American pleasurei
When the New World shall the old invade.
Nor count them lords but their fellows in trade;
Then think strange things have come to light
whereof but few have had foresight.
OF Bishop Berkely's famous poem' IL
which occurs the line; westward lh'
course of empire takes its way" Mr.. sum
ner SAYS it would be difficult to exaggerat'

Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free7
80; there's a cross for every one,
Ind there's 4 cross for me-"

Now there happened diversion which
proves the ruling passion strong in death.
Tom, quick with reporters instinct, as in
his palmiest days, turned his head and saw
a street-preacher standing on cask not
many rods away, trying TO gather sailors
and wharlmen by his voice. 1t was thrill
ing voice. There was ring of joy and
power in it. AS a general thing Tom had
never taken stock in street preachers. lie
had beard them rant too often in the crazy
reform style. But this man drew his eyes
and ears, while the river still held his
thoughts and intentions. lie see sawed /;
that voice sang n triumpantly.

4 SENSATION AT TIE CAPITOL.-DurluS the
session Of the Senate Committee on General
Laws yesterday morning, in the State Lii
brary, Senator Pridemorc was reading u bill.
All OF i sudden portion CT the ceiling fell
with a considerable noise, and startled the
committee not q little. In the shortest posi-
bic time tie committee were, as they thought
safe, as no time WAS lost in getting out Of the
Library. An examination was subsequently
made. when it was found that the plastering
had been quite loose and had been falling in
bits for some weeks.
In the Senate there was a regular panic on
the subject. SIR. Herndon presented reSo-
luton providing for the renting of suitable
building at once. TO which the books now in
the Library shall be removed. The rcsou-
ton also provides that the immense heater
in the centre Of the State Library be divided,
so as TO diff'uSe the weight.
\ very amusing debate was had upon the
resolution, and it was finally adopted by a
vote Of 81 ayes TO 6 noes. Several OF the
senators cllimed that the falling of the plas-
tering was warning, and that the warning
ought to be needed. The terrible calamity
which occurred few years ago at the Capt.
tol was also viyidIy reviewed by one or two
members.
In conclusion, it may be remarked that
Just as the plastering fell, Mr.. Boykin, of the
House, and bis Committee on Offices and
Officers of the Capitol, we're making an eX-
animation Of the Library. Governor hemper
being out of the city, it has been suggested
10y some senators that the action of the Le'
gislature was too hasty, as it may be neces-
sary for him TO sign the resolution.

MEETING OF Directors OF rHE CHA,lBER oP
CoAMERCE.-At q meeting Of the directors
Of the Chamber OF Commerce last evening
Mr.. Z. u. Noting, chairman Of the Com
mittee on Outward Trade, reported on the
subject Of the pilot laws that the committee,
after fully considering the subject, and hav-.
Ing conference with delegation of the
Pilot Association, and that while the com.
mittee think It would benefit the coasting
trade if the license-tax could be abolished or
modified, especially in respect to the pay
ment of such tax for an entire year whether
vessel be in the waters OF Virginia re-
peatedly or only single time during the
period; yet they conclude in view of the
very moderate support now earned by the
pilots according to their statements), and of
the impracticability of transferring an
equivalent to the revenue from the license
tax, If abolished, to some other branch Of
the trade, together with the fact that the
existing law has only been in operation a
little more than one year, it is inexpedient
to ask the Legislature to change the existing
pilot laws.
The committee adds that the pilots have
promised to construe and execute their
rights and privileges under the pilot laws
in liberal manner, and TO avoid all reason
able complaint oil any appealauCe vi lne
strict or harsh construction of which COM
plant has been made to the Board.
The report was approved.
The President laid before the Board let.
ter from Alfred A. Andrews, of Springfield.
Mass, complaining of having been arrested
and fined under the law as to sample-mer-
chants, and alleging that while passing
through the city he had merely called on
manufacturer and shown the card of the
house he represents. The writer denounces
the law as utterly inconsistent with the
spirit OF the age and good policy of city
aspiring to commercial greatness. The let
ter was referred to the City Council.
The protest Of the liquor trade and other
merchants against the passage of the Senate
bill that provides for stamp.tax on sales of
distilled spirits was read and approved, and
committee appointed to lay it before the
