A Remarkable Prophecy.

The following, which is known as Moth. CT Shiptoh's Prophecy" was first published In i4So. and repuDlished in le4l. It will be noticed that all the events predicted in II, except the two last lines-which is still iI the future-hsve already come to pass: Carriages without horses shall 20, And accidents ill the world with woe. Around the world thoughts snail fly In the twinkling of an eye.
 Water shall yet more wonders do, Now strange, yet shall be true. The world upside down shall be, And gold found al root of tree. Through hills men shall ride, And no horse or ASS be at his side. Under water men shall walk, Shall rids, shall sleep, shall talk. In the air men shall be seen, In white, in black, in green.
 Iron in the water shall float
 AS easy as wooden boa.
 Gold shall he found and shown, 1n laui tha's not yei known.
 Flre and va CT shall wonders do; England shall at last aimit the Jew. The world ,o an end shall come In ei yl,.een hundred ani eighty-one.

TELEPHONE MUSIC.

At a recent telephone concert in Wash
ington. it was stated by the lecturer that the
electric waves of sound sent through q single
wire are frequently conveyed, indirectly, by
other wires running parallel with it Oh the
same poles, although entirely disconnected
from it. This statement was verified Ill the
Washington office Of the Associated Press,
where a number of the tunes played in Phil
adelphia. and conveyed electrically to llll-
coin Hall in Washington, were distinctly
heard on the relay used in the Press Office,
which bad no. connection with the wire that
was attached to. the telephone. The tones
thus conveyed, although not loud, were
stated to be audible at a distance OF several
wards from the instrument.

AMERICAN INVENTIVE PROGRESS.

Under the above heading the Scse7at1gc
AMERICAN of May 7th has a long ana inter-
cstinc article, from which we make the fol-
lowing extracts
TO show with what rapidly inventors
made improvements on inventions embody-
ing original principals, says the writer, it
may be noted that in the early days Of the
sewing machine JIG patents were granted
for improvements thereon in a single year +;
and out of the 1910 patents issued in the
year 1857, 152 We're for. improved cotton
gins and presses, 1G4 for improvements on
the steam engine, and 1913 for novel devices
relating to railroads and Improvements in
the rolling stock. In the year 1s4s, three
wears after the publication Of this paper was
commenced, but GEO patents were granted !;
but under the stimulus Of publishing those
inventions as they were patented, ten years
later, in 1858, the number had increased
skiold, reaching 3,7l0, while up to Janu-
AIRY /, 1850, as already stated, the aggregate
OF patents issued amounted to l7,467; since
that time and, mp to the present the total is
Isl ,015.
And curiosity here leads us (adds the ed
itor) to review Il wv work, extending
back, say, twenty years, or to 1857, a period
during which 170,745 patents have been is
sued. We find by actual count, that G2 ,062
applications lave been made through the
Scientific american Patent Agency for Pat
ents in the United States and abroad. This
averages almost ten applications per day,
Sundays excluded, over the entire period,
and bears the relation of more than one
quarter to the total number of patents is
sued in this country up to the time of writ
ing.

furnish. The project is TO block up the
Straits of Belle Isle. the object OF which Is
to divert the ice which comes down every
wear from Baffin's Bay, through the Straits
and which makes the shores past which the
icebergs float many degrees colder than
those to the eastward, which face The ocean
and get the benefit of the Cult Stream. 1t
is believed that, if this project could be ac-
complished, the climate of Anticosta and the
Gulf Of st. Lawrence would be greatly mod
flied, and navigation through the helghbor-
ING waters could be kept open during the

SpEED OF THE REINDEER.-The hlstoryof
toe reindeer of Laplund is well known, and
from that history we learn how useful our
own species may yet be made. AS is we'll
known, the Laplanders have large herds OF
these animals, and use them for beasts OF
burden and for draught, their milk and flesh
for food, their skins for clothing and for
covering their sledges. The reindeer is a
very hardy animal, and draws the sledge OF
its owner with great speed. In one of the
palaces of Sweden there is a picture Of one
of these animals, which is preserved with
great care, from the fact that the animal
from which it was painted drew the siedge
of an officer, with important dispatches. the
distance of 800 miles in forty-eight hours!
EFFECT OF SUNLIGHT ON F~LOUR.--E IS

Of sunlight Oh the flour even whenin bags

similar to that occasioned by heating il The
mill. The tendency thus impaired to it, 70
become lumpy. and to form dough without
tougllness, is similar to that of most grain,
or of flour when it is too fresh, or made
from grain ground too early, or when adult
tcrated with cheaper barley meal. Such
flour can be improved by keeping some
weeks.

FEAST FOR THE BRoAD-STREET METHODIST
SUNDAY SCHooL.-A, feast having been pre-
pared for the children Of this Sunday
school on New-Year's night, and regardless
Of the severe snow-storm raging at the time,
a large number Of scholars, with their pa
rents, officers, and teachers, with their pas
tor, assembled in the lecture-room Of the
church. The children were bountifully
supplied with all the good things spread on
the tables, and allowed to take away as much
az they could carry, the grown-up ones
having good supper OF coffee, oysters,
&c. and after q pleasant time spent all
trudged their way home through some
six or seven inches OF snow, except the
little zones, who were well provided for,
being carried thither In omnibusses and car
siages, Affd taken home in the same manner.
The ladies and gentlemen appointed on the
committee to get up and prepare this feast
deserve great credit for the manner in which
their duties were performed.

JANAUsCHEK.-Thisc celebrated artist COM
mences an engagement at the Theatre on
Monday night next with Deborah. There
is scarcely an actress who shows such ar
tistic study as she, as is attested by her mar
velous triumph over the English pronun-
citation, and her adaptation to the method
required for Shakspeare's plays. Those who
saw her play in German and afterwards in
English can appreciate what an enthusiastic
worker she is in her profession. Our
Richmond audience has seen her in widely
different characters-such as Medea and the
French woman, Hortense. In the ambitious
leader of fashion, Lady Dedlock, she is
as fine as in the impassioned rendition
of Mary Steuart, or the terrible. Lady Mac
beth.
Madame Janauschek is said to be not less
artistic in her acting than Ristori, but much
more impassoned. Her company is COM
plete, and one ofithe best we have ever had
here.
There will be six performances, and the
price OF reserved seats has been wisely put
at reasonable figure.
The sale Of seats opens at Wyatt's on
Thursday morning.

From the Springfield tMass.) Republican,
General Bartlett.

The recognition by the press Of the he
roic characteristics Of General Bartlett is
quick and wide. We have dwelt upon his
qualities and his services, his opinions and
his acts, not only as an act Of justice, but in
the belief that they furnish greatly-needed
example, and in the hope that from his
grave there might 60 new and richer influ-
ences-so that even dead he will yet speak
with more potent eloquence than ever. 1t
is not given to many men to have his SIM
pie, quick perception Of the kernel truth,
or his equally simple and natural way OF
speaking and acting it. 1t never seemed to
cost him anything to think rightly, or to
speak and act what he thought-it did it
self, as it were-not only without hesitation
or fear of the consequences, but without
the recognition that there We're any conse-
quences that should be considered. Few
men are, indeed, so wonderfully endowed
as this; but all Of us, by seeking, may find
this God OF Truth. It was conspicuous
life that he lived before his fellow-citizens
in Massachusetts,. No life so impressive
in its features, or furnishing so noble an
example, has been lived before us in this
generation. But it was lived without his
thought Of its character or its consequences
to himself. And il he can live again in any
degree in the lives and characters OF his
comrades and successors, Of the young men
who knew him or have read his story and
felt its inspiration, the dead hero will be
again the living hero; and the glory Of his
life will take on at once its true Immortality
General Bartlett's funeral was attended
by leading military and civic officers, inclu-
ding members of the Supreme Court
Every mark of respect was shown to the
memory OF the deceased. .ar

become acting President, and would be
sworn In rs such. So far as he (the Presi-
denH was, concerned, his power would
cease; but in other respects the other
branches of the executive government, re-
ferring to the Cabinet officers, would con-
tinue uninterrupted. a full Investigation
OF this subject by his judicial advisors, as
well as by himself, made is clear that all the
Cabinet officers were named untilsa sIcs
cessor was appointed except the Postrnas-
r-General, whose term by law was limited
to thirty days after the commencement OF
new administration. In regard to the Post
Office Department, this for some years was
carried on from time to time by legislative
action, and it was not until the ad-
ministration OF President Jackson that
the Postmaster-General was entitled to!
seat in the Cabinet, be having
been invited to participate in the delibera-
tions of the Executive Ministers by that
President. Therefore, in the event OF no
decision being reached by Congress with
reference to the results OF the late election,
the president OF the Senate, as acting
President, would find himself-in possession
OF every facility for continuing and carry
ing ON the Government without the embar-
rassmcnt which would naturally arise from
a different tenure OF office on the part OF
the Cabinet Ministers. In regard to calling
an extra session OF Congress, the President
said that so far as the Senate was concerned,
that being continuous body, it was Gus
tomary for the outgoing President to call it
together to enable his successor to organize
his government, but he was in doubt as to
his powers as regards the calling OF m extra
session Of the House, and would take no ae-
ton until that question, in case necessity
should arise, was fully investigated. In his
mind, however, itappeared that as Congress,
Of which the House is q component part, eX-
pires on the same day that his own official
functions do; and as it is not continuous
body, he very probably would find, no mat
ter what emergency, that he had no power
in the premises. He thought, however, that
no embarrassment would be Questioned
thereby; for, If there should be no decision
with reference to the present persons voted
for, the acting President could promptly
convene the Forty-frth Congress for such
business as he might sec fit to bring to its
ton OF the recent election might become
subject of consideration, and it might be
determined to hold an election earlier than
the time regularly provided for in the act
of 1892. which would now be on the Tues
day after the first Monday in November.
Congress, he thought, might see fit to fix
upon the holding on an election in June,
which could readily be done, and hold the
on the 4th Of July, which
would more promptly dispose OF the excep-
tional state of affairs incident to a quasi in
