MOTHER saIPTON ECLIPsED.
The Destiny Of the Republic Prophecies
Century Ago.

The family Of DR.. March, in Albany
avenue, Brooklyn, have in their possess.
ion remarkable old document, which
has been preserved with great care ever
since the father Of the present head of the
family came to reside in that city. The
paper is dilapidated bit Of parchment
containing written verses on both sides,
but the ink has become so faded that
careful study is required TO decipher the
words. Around the edges a rude at
tempt at binding has resulted in making
the parchment more fragmentary than
before. Several years ago copy of the
verses was made, which is still in good
condition, and is shown to friends Of the
family. The verses contain a prophecy,
and were written by Mrs. Abby Marsh, in
the year 1887, at her home il Sher brook,
Canada. Her immediate descendants
claimed that Mrs. Marsh was possessed Of
extraordinary powers of foresight, and in
stanced an occasion where she aWoke
from dream in time to save the life OF a
child. Like all other prophetic illusions
however, it received but little attention
until several Of its assertions had become
things of the past, and public attention
was called to their apparent fulfillment.
Fragmentary portions OF the rhyme,
which Mrs, Marsh called :'Columbia's
Destiny found their way into the Can
adlan newspapers, some OF the extracts
beng now in the possession ofDr Marsh.
A reporter obtained permission to copy
the old document and they are herewith
given, together with the explanation
which reference to the history Of the
last centuary suggests. Thus it runs:
Columbia, home of liberte,
Shall not twenty rulers see,
Ere there shall be battle smoke,
Ere peace shall seem to be broke,
And in waves ofperil tost
The ancient order shall be deemed lost.
1t is g significant fact, when taken in
this connection, that r. B. Hayes is the
nineteenth ruler Of the United States, as
will be sen by the order in which the
President succeeded each other:
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-11-10

It is difficult to interpret portion of
this extract. Jefferson and John Adams,
it is well known, died on the 4th Of July,
1896, their simultaneous death forming
one Of the most remarkable condolences
in history; but the meaning of
the clause, And in house that different
was,' is rather vague. The venerable
ex-President died on the floor of the Cap.

original one erected at the seat Of Govern

the period Of peace and prosperity which
followed; while the quarter century, reck-
oning from 1900, saw the inaugural cere-
monies of the younger Adams.

obliterated or defaced that they are I'M

Joha Quincy Adams to the place Of his

these 1t goes into the railroad cars
without having been handled since
it left the bottom of the shaft.
The ore from No. is hoisted by
the same machinery but through
another shaft. Nos. l & and the
Gibson and Fey pits have small en-
gines which hoist the ore from these
shafts. A, B g @ pits have just
been started and the ore is taken
from them by means of buckets OPP
Grated by mule power. The ore
from Nos. l, 4, 81 Z is what is
called slate or No. ore and yields
about 6s per cent of metallic iron.
The hosting machinery is of the
most modern and approved patterns;
and is run entirely by means of
compressed air, which is obtained
by the aid of four huge compressors
situated about a mile and quarter
from the central part of the mine.
These compressors are run by wa
ter wheels when the water force is
sufficient to drive them, when it is
not they have two large steam
engines which are coupled onto the
shaft with the wheels. The air is
conveyed to the engines through a
mile of boiler plate piping 10 Inc hes
in diameter. which was built in
Philadelphia and brought here and
erected (compressors and piping) at
a cost of $4,000. The mine is
being sunk to the lower levels with
no prospect of the quantity or the
quality of the ore deteriorating.
The dip of the vein is in the direc-
ton of the river, and it is thought
by some that The vein will gradually
slope In that direction, and II fol-
lowed will lead the miners directly

From our Mining Correspondent

Taking the afternoon train from
Marquette you arrive after tedious
ride of IS miles, at Republic, where
is located the largest mine of the
Lake Superior district, on the east
side of the Mic higamme river. This
mine was opened during the sum
mer of 1872, by Capt Peter Pasco,
TO whose efficient management the
present well-developed condition OF
the mine bears abundant testimony.
Shipments were very light (onlv
amounting to a few thousand tons)
until the following season, when
they shipped in the vicinity of loO,-
900 tons of ore. The shipments up
to date must be somewhere in the
vicinity of 100000 tons or more.
The mine employs about $50 men
at present. There has been sixteen
openings made on the vein: Nos.
to II inclusive, "Gibson," "Eley,"
A, B g. G. AT present Nos. 8, s, 9
81 10 are not being worked as it
has not been found profitable TO do
so, in the present depressed con-
dition of the iron market. The ore
from Nos. 4, 5 & is hoisted
through common shaft in cars run
on to cages, which are hoisted to
the surface, a distance of $50 feet.
These cages are supplied with
safety clutches, which in case the
roap breaks. clutches the side tim
bers of the shaft and thereby saves
the cage from dropping to the bot
tom of the shaft and perhaps killing
some one who might be at the bot
tom or in the cage itself. When
the ore reaches the surface it is
let down an incline where the load
ed car by its own weight draws the
empty one mp There is an In
geuious arrangement in use here,
called a "bull-dog." for detaching
the rope from the loaded car when
it has reached the bottom of the in
cline. 1t works in this wise: the
"bull-dog" to which the rope is per-
manentIy attached leads the car
Il. e. the car is held by the bull
dogs being in front of III to the
foot of the incline and then stop in
