A PROPHECY.
"nht ~ Going to Happen I'm the
World from 1850 20 1881.

The following extraordinary prophecy
originally appeared in the Tri- Weekly
Cleaner, published in Kingston, Jamaica,
in September, 1879. 1t was written BY
Professor G. A. Grimmer. The prophecy
indicates that there is going to be trouble
In the land and weeping and wailing and
crashing Of teeth during the period named.
SO far as 1880 is concerned it has been par
TALLY verified. The perihelion " struck
New York on the I'd day Of November,
and sweeping around through the north
western portion Of the Union, did immense
damage all along the line. While the
trouble was most serious and fatal in the
Empire State a much higher rate of dc.
struction was reached in Iowa and the
States bordering the great lakes. As the
sstrologer foretells, the Pacific Coast has
been lovely with the exception of a be-
nighted section to the n~orthward, known
as the Web-foot Country. The people in
that region were afflicted pretty much in
the same manner as those of the older
communities of the East. The disease is
a lingering n and there can be no hope
for anybody under four years. But the
SENTINEL will not hold itself responsible
for the prophecy beyond what has already
transpired. The Professor says:
1t is pretty well understood that the per-
ihelion of the four great planets-Jupiter,
Uranus, Neptune and Saturn will be CO.
incident in 1880. Astrology to-day is ridi-
called by many so-called scientists. After
1850, ~astrology will be taught by many
who reject it now. Bacon says: "The
world opposes what it does not under
stand" In the case of astrology this is
pre- eminently 30. / simply state the effects
the approaching perihelion will produce,
and the effects will be momentous. From
1886 to 1887 will be one universal carnival
OF death. No place on earth will be en-
tirely free from the plague. The Pacific
Coast will suffer less han any other por-
ton of the globe. The coincidence OF
these planets in perihelion always produce
destructive diseases. Diseases will appear,
the nature OF which will battle the most
eminent physicians. The atmosphere will
be foul with noisome odors; few constitu-
tons will resist the common scourge.
From the far East the p%estiiential storm
will sweep, and its last struggles will end
In the far West. The Incorporate, weak,
and those of impure blood will go down to
their graves in tens of thousands.
The perihelia will bring other infections
upon the inhabitants of the earth over
which mankind can exert no restraining
influence. There will come storms and
tidal waves that will swamp whole cities;
earthquakes that will swallow mountains
and towns; tornsdoes that will sweep humid
reds OF villages from the face Of the earth;
the geography will be changed by volcanic
action; valleys will appear where noun
tains stood; mariners will be lost on the
ocean, owing to the extraordinary varia-
tons OF the compass; wild beasts will
leave their natural haunts and crowd into
populous cities, timid and harmless; the
birds OF the air. the beasts of the forests,
and even the fish Of the sea will be dis
eased. No fish or animal food should be
eaten from 1880 to 1885; for the flesh Of
Of nearly all of the animal kingdom and
the finny tribes will be poisonous, and all
those who shall partake of the flesh shall
be taken away shortly after. Every thing
that is ate or drank shonld be well cooked
before using; no cooked food or water
should be partaken Of if exposed to the air
for even a quarter of an hour. Animal
food, fish and game should not be used;
milk. butter, eggs, fats and oils Except
vegetable oils), should be prohibited.
Farmers will be SO stricken with fear
that they will cease to till farms, and fam.
inc will step in to make human misery
more wretched; fanatlcism will spring up
in many places, and bloodshed will result
therefrom; the judge will be stricken from
the bench. the pleader from the bar, the
merchant and customer will be seized with
the fatal malady while trading; death will
come slow in some cases, but in most ID
will be swift and terrible. The poor will
die by tens Of thousands without a minis
tering hand to soothe their dying agonies;
but bear in mind, no medicine or doctor
can give you any more aid than you can
give yourself. Copious draughts OF warm
water and q vegetable diet will prevent the
disease from poisoning the blood in the
process of digestion. Animal food will
poison those who continue to use it. Fine
cotton or sponge, dipped in the spirits Of
camphor and kept in the n~ostrils, changed
ing poisoned through the organs Of respi-
ration.
After the black death there will be TIVE
years Of fire, which will rage with fur,
from 1885 to 1887. The fires will be the
means Of annihilating every germ Of dis
ease. Nothing but fire will do it. After
these terrible years of woe the earth will
yield twice as much as formerly, the ami
NAL kingdom will he more prolific and life
more prolonged. The average duration of
life is now said to be thirty-three years;
after the year 1887 it will be twice as long.
or sixty-six years.
During the black death the most won
derful celestial phenomena will be seen.
The sun will be rs red as blood, and terri
BILE convulsions will appear in that great
body. The moons action on the tides will
be spasmodic and irregular.
China will be depopulated, or nearly so.
and when the plague breaks out ia 1881
hordes Of Asiatics will crowd their ships
and fee their country. to spread the loath-
some disease over every land they turn to.
They will at last reach the Pacific States,
and then America must suffer a destruc-
ton of life without a parallel in the an
nails of her history. unless preventive
measures are used to keep them back.
In 1887 the " Star Of Bethlehem will
once more be seen in " Casseopia's Chair"
and it will be accompanied by a total
eclipse Of the sun and MOON. The star
only makes its appearance once in every
315 years. The marvellous br%illiancy Of
the star at hat time will surpass any of its
previous visitations; il will be seen even
by MONDAY, shining with a quick. flashing
light the entire year., after which 1t will
disappear not TO return till 1902, or 3le
years from 1877.
North America will be involved in q civil
strife, and q reign OF terror will prevail
unless q Napoleon rises to qnell 1t.
