A DELAWARE paper p~rophesles that
the parties Of the future will DO q Con-
sentative party led by such men as
"Bayard, Lamar and those who stand
against the Silver bill" while "the
leaders Of the Liberal party Of the fu-
ture will be found among the BANDS,
Ewiugs, MatthewseS, Becks, Thurmans,
and V~oorheeses of the Senate" This
lie very absurd speculation. The DIFF
f%erences between these geRllemen have
ceased with the adoption of the Silver
bill, aud outside of q few tariff ques.
tions, there is nothing to disturb the
unanimily Of The Democratic party.

ne Mlrth Q. Mother shIpton.

The so.caIled prophecy Of Mother
ShiptOn is one OF the clever fraud. per-
petraled a few years ago. In 1862
Charles Hindley, of Brighton, Eug.
land, published what he said was a re.
print OF an old edition of Mother Ship
tons pieces, but has since ackno wledgtd
that the "wOnherful prophecy" and
some other pieces in the book were
written by him at that time. This
prophecy which originally was claimed
to have been written IN 1883 aud pub
lished IN l64l, was first wrought out
OF he brain OF Mr.. Hindley IN 1862.
Who Molher Shipton really was j. MT
