ZADKIEL's ALMANAC, of which everyone
has heard, predicts troublous times for the
world next year. On this side the water the
year is to open in gloom (occasioned NO doubt
by the bills which always come pouring in
and make us hate New Years. and we are
to suffer from war and pestilence. Is the war
to be with Mexico? On the other side Of
the Atlantic matters are to be very lively.
In England Parliament is to 'meet under ex-
citing circumstances" there are to be "acri-
monious Debates" the people are to ''feel the
iron heel of taxation," and "the sons of toll
will lament that there is no work for their
hands," This English prophecy reminds one
one of the old definition of hope-faith in the
future born of the past. England is TO 60 to
war In April and the Eastern question is to
be ''settled on a firm basis" in December !;
apparently Zadkiel has been sitting at the
feet of the diplomatists. July is to bring
harvests and November earthquakes. Very
likely snow will come In December, though
the Almanac says nothing of it.

BECowLING ones self is not so much in
fashion among kings and mobiles to-day as it
was few centuries ago, but a prince of the
House of Savoy, Amadeus, whilom king OF
Spain, has revived the old-time custom and
is about to go into the cloister. He has pre-
cedent in one of his ancestors, the Amadeus
who frocked himself in 1894. Many priests
have come from the reigning families OF Eu-
rope. According to Masham thirty Saxon
kings in two hundred years became monks
Ireland furnishes almost as many examples,
among them Fiedlim king of Munster, and
Muriartagh, grandson Of Brian Boru; and
we find three Byzantine emperors, Romanus,
Michael the Paphlagonian, and Andronicus
H., who entered monasteries. In pagan
times weary monarchs betook themselves to
gardening or to the fields, rather than i'm

that contributions are supplied by other

also in 1874 against n reduction OF FIVE
per cent. but submitted to arbitration,
which decided against them. The five
per cent. was, however, restored in 1875.
and the present strike is occasioued By
the attempt to take IL off again. Unless

OK Thursday night a week a band
of thirteen masked men took pos
session Of tho Union Pacific Railroad
station at Big Springs, Nebraska,
destroyed the telegraph instrum ents
and compelled the agent to hang
out red light, 80 as to cause the
eastern bound train to stop. The
men boarded the train, placed the
train men under guard and secured
the passengers. The express Car
was broken open and the safe rob~
bed of about sixty.five thousand
dollars. The passengers were also
robbed of three thousand dollars in
money and four gold watches. The
robbers did not touch the perma-
nent safe, which had q combination
lock and contained q very large
amount of money. The robbers
,lampened the fire in the locomotive
so as TO delay its arrival at the next
station and give them time to escape
before an alarm could be given. A
freight train overtaking tho passen
ger train, tho engine of the former
was sent on to Ogallalla, from
whence tho first report of the rob-
hsry was received. Tho railroad
company offers five thousand dollars
and the express company ten thou
sand dollars for tho capture Of the
robbers and their plunder.
