Yesterdays Victory.

The victory at the Municipal election yes
terday bettered the most sanguine expecta-
tions. William Senter was chosen Mayor by
the largest majority ever cast for candi-
date, Republican or other, in the city of Port
land. We had reason to believe that our peo-
pie would eagerly seize upon the opportunity
to rebuke the men who osought to disfI anchise
them and nullify the will of the voters
of Maine as expressed at the ballot box But
our large anticipations were not large enough
to measure the volume of their wrath. The
censure they have passed upon the authors
of the conspiracy to steal the State is so
strong and explicit that the blindest of the
Fusion leaders cannot tail to see its full
meaning. The honest people of this city re-
fused to be misled in regard to the issue,
and, though the Fusionists put in nomina-
ton the strongest candidate, perhaps, they
could bring forward, and sought to make the
fight upon personal and local questions, and
strove in all ways to avoid judgment upon
the scandalous doings at Augusta, they
spoke in emphatic condemnation of the
great wrong.
The city and the State and the friends of
free government everywhere, are to be con-
graduated upon the result. We note with
especial pleasure that many men whose SYM
pathies have hitherto been with the opposi-
ton cast their votes for the Republican cam
didates. The strong Democratic Wards
showed surprising changes. Many Irishmen
broke from the vassalage in which they have
SO long been held by the Democratic leaders,
and carrying out their honest convictions,
cast their lot with the political party that has
proved itself the champion of the oppressed
of all nationalities. Many conscience
Democrats" too, refused to sanction by
their votes the infamous acts for which the
chiefs of their party are so justly held re-
sponsible.
Our excellent candidate for mayor has
abundant reasons to be proud of the great
and enthusiastic support he received. Dur
ring the campaign he was attacked with all

THE New York Tribune is anxious to
know "What is the opinion of the Demo-
cratic newspapers of the country on the
scheme Of their leaders in Congress to steal
the vote of Minnesota? They must have
one of some sort, yet they keep it to them
selves. To all outward appearances they
have not even heard of the outrageous plan.
They didn't hear of the Maine scandal until
it turned out to be failure, and then they
assailed Garcelon for stupidity rather than
for moral crookedness. If Donnelly fails to
secure his stolen seat they can be depended
upon to discover that he is a blundering
demagogue unworthy of the name of Demo-
crat. There are respectable journals in the
party which ought to say as much in ad-
vance, but they are yet to be heard FROM"

THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names of such
other men as have taken offices to which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
of the vile conduct of the original malefac-
tore

most it will be swift and terrible; the
poor will die by tens of thousands, and
without a ministering 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 a
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 nostrils,
changed frequently, will prevent the
blood, from being poisoned through the
organs of respiration.
After the black death there will be
two years of fire, which will rage with
fury from 1885 to 1887 The fires will
be the means of annihlating every
germ of disease. Nothing bat fire will
do it. After these terrible years of
woe, the earth will yield twice as much
as formerly, the animal kingdom will
be more prolific and life more pro-
longed, The average duration OF life
is now said to be thirty-three years;
after the year 1877 it will be twice as
long, or sixty-six years.
During the black death, the most
wonderful celestial phenomena will be
seen. The sun will be as red as blood,
and terrible convulsions will appear in
that great body. The moons action on
the tides will be spasmodic and irregu-
lar.
China will be depopulated, or nearly
so, and when the plague breaks out in
1881 hordes of Asiatics will crowd their
ships and flee from their country, and
will spread the loathsosne disease over
every land they turn to. They will at
last reach the Pacific States, and then

In 1887 the Star of Bethlehem will
once more be seen in 'Casseopia's Chair,
and it will be accompanied by total
eclipse of the sun and moon. The star
only makes its appearance once in every
3l5 years. The marvellous brilliancy
of the star at that time will surpass any
of its previous visitations; it will be
seen even by MONDAY, shining with
quick, flashing light the entire year;
after which it will disappear, not to
return until 22O2, or 3l5 years from
1887.
North America will be involved in a

DIRE DESTRUCTION.
What Is Going to Happen in the World
Next Year.

Next Year.
Professor c. A. Grimmer made the
following prophecy, which was pub
lished in September, 1879. We do not
know how the Professor became
prophet and happened to know that
such dire calamities which he predicts
will occur, but here is what he says:
'It is pretty well understood that
the perihehon of the four great planets
Jupiter, Uranns, Neptune and Sat
urn-will be coincident in 1850. To-
day astrology is ridiculed by many so
called scientists. After 1880 astrology
will be taught by many who reject it
now. Bacon says: The world opposes
what it does not anderstand' In the
case of astrology this is pre-emlnently
so. / simply state the effects the APP
preaching perihelion will produce, and
tire effects will bc momentous. From
1880 to 1857 will be one universal car
nival of death, No place on earth will
be entirely free from the plague. The
Pacific Coast will suffer less than any
other portion OF the globe. The coinci-
dence of these planets in perihelion
always produces 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-
tions will resist the common scourge.
From the far East the pestilential
scourge will sweep, and its last great
struggles will end in the far West.
Tie intcmperate, weak, and those OF
impure blood will SO down to thesc
graves in tens of thousands.
The perhelia will bring other infec-
ticns upon the inhabitants OF tie earth,
over which mankind can exert no re-
straining influence. There will come
storms and tidal waves that will swamp
whole cities; earthquakes that will
swallow mountains and towns; torna-
does that will sweep hundreds of viii
lages from the face of the earth; the
geography will be changed by volcanic
action; valleys will appear where now
mountains stand; mariners will be lost
on the ocean, owing to the extraordi-
nary variations of the compass; wild
beasts will leave their natural haunts
and crowd into populeus cities, timid
and harmless; the birds of the air. the
beasts of the forests, and even the fish
of the sea will be diseased. No fish or
animal food should be eaten from 1880
to 1883; for the flesh of nearly all of
the animal kingdom and the tinny
tribes will be poisonous, and all those
who shall partake of the flesh shall be
taken away shortly after. Everything
that is ate or drank should be well
cooked before using; no cooked food or
water should be partaken of if exposed
to the air for even 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 he so stricken with fear
that they will cease to till farms, and
falnine will step in to make human mis-
cry more wretched; fanaticjsm will
spring up in many places, and blood
shed will result therefrom; the judge
will be stricken from the bench, the
pleader from the bar and the merchant
and the customer will be seized with
the fatal malady while trading; death
will Gonna sl0w in some cases but lin
