trouble for their pains. DR.. John
Cummings, of London, fixed the
year of annihilation as 1856, and
afterward as 1866, and has since
left the matter to a higher power.
Other writers have taken Louis
Napoleon as the anti-Christ of
prophecy, and have predicted that
he would be the leader of a host
which would attack all religions,
and that the issue of the contest
would be the aunihilation of Napo-
leon, and that the earth would be-
come the paradise of the happy i'm
mertals who fought the good fight.
Napoleon died without attempting
to vindicate the prophecy. Arma.
geddon has not yet come; if in the
great scheme of the Creator it ia
ever to happen, it will not be hur-
ried by the prophets. There are
other and more vital subjects at
present which invite their conside-
ration.

Here are the royalties and here is

Meanwhile the American sOver-
eign, Grant, is the object of great
attention. On Thursday he re-
ceived a visit from President Mac,
Mahon and his wife, Prince Hassan
of Egypt, Prince Albert and Prince
Frederic of Austria, Prince and
Princess of Denmark. The Comte
de Paris sent General Grant his
boxes at the Italiens for Thursday,
and at the Grand Opera on Friday.
He dimes with Mr.. Ridgway to-day
Saturday, and on the gath instant
with Prince 0rloR.
One of the pleasautest things of
the week was General Grants visit
to the polo grounds in the Bois de
BoulOgne. The Prince of Wales
also went the same day. They wit
messed a very interesting game.
General Grant was accompanied by
his family and ex-Minister Beale.
They remained an hour.
The general said he thought the
game might be introduced with
great effect into the cavalry regi-
ments and at West Point as a good
school of horsemanship for young
soldiers.

The Lndy Mordannt scnnasI.

The Paris American Register
says: "The marriage of Sir Charles
Mordaunt to Lord Leigh's neice,
Miss Cholmondeley, is the final
chapter of long and awful pain
fully interesting story. 1t is now
nine years since Sir Charles petit
toned for divorce from his wife,
who was one Of group of sisters
famous for their beauty and high
standing in society. Lady Nor
daunt did not plead, and soin Feb
ruary, 1870, the judge Of the Di-
vorce Court directed a jury to try
the question if she was or was not
sane. The Prince of Wales was a
witness on that occasion. The jury
found that the respondent was In
sane. More than three years passed
before Sir Charles brought an APP
peal to the house of lords, and it
was not until two years ago that he
at last succeeded in proving his
wife's guilt, and getting release
from the legal bond which bound
him and her. Now, at forty-two,
he is once more happy. Let us
hope that he will continue to be so.
He has had more than his share of
sorrow. 1t was through a tragedy
that he came into the baronetcy,
for when he was only nine years
old his father was accidently shot
by friend, lie represented South
Warwicksbire in parliament from
1859 to 1868. 1t is not given to
many men to become a county
member at twenty-three. Probably
we shall see him return to political
life -

The Decision NOT FrnaI.
City CNev.l Cbroniols

Virginia City (Nev.l Chronicle
Yesterday some new and incon.
trovertible proofs came to light
which proved Bones to be guilty,
and he was taken up to be tried.
The officer testified that when he
had first arrested him, some weeks
before, he thought from his air of
innocence, taken together with his
very plausible story, that he must
be the wrong man, and he let him
go. Since then he had watched the
house carefully, and yesterday found
several of the hams in his posses
sion, marked with the grocer's
brand.
Bones, when asked what he had
to say, stood up and addressed the
court: "The policeman, in his de-
cision a few weeks ago, finally set
tied the question Of my title to
those hams, and | think every man.
irrespective of party ties, will take
the same view. In my opinion his
decision was final"
"We have no electoral commits
sion on the force" remarked the
court.
"The interests of the city" re-
sponded Bones, demand some rest.
The agitation of past differences
can do no good. All conflicting
elements should be harmonized.
Let the bitter bygones of last
month be forever buried. What
ever doubts there may have been
upon the question of my title to
those hams were forever set at rest
when that title was examined into
and passed upon by the policeman.
His decision was final"
The court held a contrary opin.
ion, and sent Bones up for sixty
days.

Enoch Arden nntdnna.

Paris, which furnishes from real
life SO many plots for novels and
dramas. now sends us a story,
which, if true, makes Enoch Arden
quite an ordinary hero. A few
weeks ago there appeared in a Paris
newspaper an advertisement saying:
A widow, young and good look
ing, mother of four children, with
out fortune, desires to marry a
wealthy and honorable man. Ad-
dress B. R." Penniless widows
with four dependent children are
not generally sought after with
much zeal in the matrimonial mar
ket, but this advertisement brought
three answers. These went, how.
ever, not into the hands of the
widow, young and good looking
but into the hands of her husband.
In fact, the lady in question was
not yet widow at all, and the ad :
vertisement did not come from her.
Her husband, after a struggle
such as many men have made in
recent years, despaired of being
able to support his family. He
therefore decided on plan to save
them from want. When the an
swers to his advertisement were re-
ceived he investigated them care
fully and assured himself that one
OF them came from a man whose
intentions were honorable and
whose worldly goods were album
dant. lie finished his work by
putting this gentleman in the way
of communicating with his wife,
and then he made her a widow by
drowning himself.
OF the result the report says that
the man whose answer to the ad-
vertisement was approved, learning
the true state Of the case, took
charge Of the education of the
children. Whether a wedding will
follow we are not informed.

The Field OF Armageddon.

Troy Prsss.l r-1fF rlpto
The task of predicting Armaged-
don, the grand finale of the worlds
history, is fascinating to some men
who, however, do not know any,
thing about it. A correspondent
of the Rochester Union insists that
the United States will take a promi-
nent part in the ba title of Armaged-
don, which he says is to be fought
in the Valley of Jehosophat, near
Jerusalem, and that the American
army will be badly cut up. After
the battle the saints, he AYERS, will
take possession of Palestine, which
is to consist of an area in Western
Asia, embracing 100000 square
miles, which will, unless our code
OF morality is speedily changed, be
sufficient, in our opinion, for all
truly good people. A number Of
Scriptural citations are given to
support this theory; they ut the
case as we'll as d ready.made suit of
clothes fit a deformed man. 1t is
no new thing for later day prophets
to predict the bankruptcy of the
world and the closingup Of its bust
luess. The Ohristendom was con-
