A Curious Prophecy.

Just before the defeat Of Air. Greeley
for the Presidency, several gentlemen
were eongregated on piazza at New
port, Il. l., saws the New Bedford
I Mass Mercury. Among them was
Chief Justice Chase. Another WAS one
OF the first conversatonulists in the
world. The latter repeated not an
anecdote. bat a prophecy. which had
been made by q hermit in Bavaria many
years before; and this prophecy was not
only delivered, but printed by a number
OF the AflgeWeiHc Z.ittHg of about 1857.
The Austro-P Pruss.au war WAS correctly
predicted, as well as the Fanco-P Prus-ian
war and the taking Of Paris. Now for
the future. In 1867 the pope is 10 die,
which will cause "a general European
war. Next, France and Prussia are 10
have another conflict. France will be
defeated and Paris taken for the second
time. There viii be a partition Of France.
The IbeCau powers tSpaIu and Portugul)
are - have large share. as also Italy.
Belgium gets the northern part. Hol-
land Is ceied to Prussia. All that will
remain Of France viii be the old "Ile de
France, " OF which Paris IS the capital.
These results having been obtained.
there will be a general acknowledgment
Of the folly and tutility Of excessive
armaments. All the powers Will agree
70 disarm. Swords will bc beaten INTO
plowshares.
The hermit's prophecies for 1866 and
1870 we're fulfilled. II seems as though
the rest might be. The pope il in bad
health. The chances Of a general war
growing ont Of the Eastern question are
excellent Should France think the
moment favorable to attack Prussia, and
be defeated, the couqueror would show
no mercy. France would be rendered
harmless, and her territory divided. The
partition Of republican France is the
dream Of the Prussian "Junker party. "
The general reduction Of armies j. less
probable. It is easier to change the map
Of Europe than human nature.

shoot him. Lady Baker, too, who over
heard and understood the offer, felt that
a word from her would not be out OF

could command. His majesty for a

Cure for Trouble.

There are some great troubles that
only time can heal, and perhaps some
that never can be healed at all; but all
can be helped by the great panacea,
work. Try it, you who are afflicted. II
is not patent medicine. 1t has proved
its efficiency ever since Adam and Eve
left behind them, with weeping, their
beautiful Eden. 1t is an efficient
remedy. All good physicians in regular
standing prescribe it in cases Of mental
and moral disease. 1t operates kindly,
without leaving any disagreeable Sc.
queln, and we assure you that we have
taken a large quantity of it with most
beneficial results. 1t Rill cure more
complaints than any nostrum in the ma
terra medica, and comes nearer to being
"cure all than any drug or com
