A MOST BEAUTIFUL PROPHET.


"dodger," but purporting to be In essence q
revelation direct from some one Of tho nu-
mero,ls heavens ordained by our latter-day
prophets. II Ia not addressed to u.s. and does
not seem TO be any particular business Of
ours, except for one thing: II IL accompanied
by n message especially addressed to edi.
tors.-a message OF such peculiar, not 10 say
searching interest, as TO engage instant nj
tsntIon. II Ia as follows:
ORDER OF GOD Tho editors OF all news.

Prophecy and order grntuitous publication,

Oh course, he must be all unusual editor,
indeed, who would hesitate for Quo instant TO
close with such nm Offer as this. What Ii n
composition bill compared to guarantee Of
twenty.slx years OF HE. aud natural life at
that We don't know Terry. tho Most Beau
tiful Prophet, but we presume he wouldn't
say thing OF this sort unless he meant II.
We take Terry to be q man or his word, and
on that basis he Ia the party wa want to trade
with. What mn editor values more than any.
thing else is tho prospect of continued natu-
raj life. You could not touch him In ten
derer spot.
The Prophecy and Order referred to, there
fore, are hereby reproduced. Lst lis begin by
stating that they IRE addressed to the Con-
gross OF the United States. and are prefaced
by few explanatory remarks showing that
tho Prophet became uneasy In his bod one

vision, to wit: Red Horse and, mounted
thereon, q Scarlet Woman. Seeing which he
howled aloud, "Oh Pal wherefore Is the WIS.,
Ion and the meaning thereof2' But he was
told TO shut up for the present and to seal the
vision until II should be interpreted to him.
All Of which he accordingly did and In due
time the Interpretation cams. This interpre-
tatlon, together with the Order already men,

This reads pretty straight There Is moth
Ing evasive or OBSCURE about 1t. We are to
have a terrible comet In the heavens and 1t is
to remain there seven weeks. It should have
appeared Monday night, though OF course the
weather may have delayed 1t, and it Is to stay
with US until about the twentieth Of April.
Terry seems to be In earnest, and we really
don't advise any one to dfereQard him II Ia
true that the Order says the comet viii be set
In the Heavens, and equally true that as
long az 1t stays there 1t will be comparatively
harmless; but We have no guarantee On this
