Adams, it is we'll known, died on
the 4th Of July, 1926, their stimuli
taneous death forming one of the
most remarkable condolences in
history; but the meaning of the
clause, "And in house that differ
ent was, is rather vague. The ven
cradle ex-Pfesident (John Quincy
Adams) died on the floor of she Cap
itol, but the latter building was part
of the original one erected at the
seat of Government. Madison's ad-
ministration witnessed both the war
with England and the period of
peace and prosperity shat followed
it; while the quarter century, reck-
oning from 1900, saw the inaugural
ceremonies, of the younger Adams.
Then comes one who should have been
a soldier, who shall not have war.
cold Hickory's" Jackson's s)record
seems to bear this out, especially the
last line. The vigorous manner in
which he " sat down upon" the Null
lifiers OF that day, deferred" says
Bancroft, the approaching civil
war for several years" The proph-
ecy continues:
Il, y Aflcr the fox the lion shall
BE lOrdiy ruler over all:
But death shall in the mansion WELD
Sword surcr than On tented field.
(3) After him there comes anon,
One who has friends but shall have none.
,D The hickory shall sprout again;
soldier come from battle plain,
Nor shall his heir sway again.

All shall know, though none knew.
Taken in their successive order,
the above ough, to apply to Martin
Van Buren, (who was called "the
fox" by the Wings, in 1S4O); second,
to Harrison, who died almost imme-
diately after his inauguration; third,
to Tyler, whose conduct caused a
rupture in his party, fourth, to
Polk, who was popularity known as
Young Hickory" and fifth, to
Franklin Pierce, the youngest up to
that time, and whose selection was a
surprise to everybody. But to con-
tinue:

To.morrows sage is this days tool;
North and South and East and West,
A strong man shall the weak defend,
But II suail not be the end;
Under the nextt shall widows MOURN
Thousands be s!an but millions born.
Death in his strife shall pass him by,
But when the peace cometh he shall die.

Who shall see his century.
Grant is hero undoubtedly re-
ferr.d to, and the Centennial cele-
bration at Philadelphia. But the
most remarkable part of this proph-
ecy is the following:
Rule afterwards shall be got
BY the one whose 1t was not
Men shall roar, aud rage, and rave,
But he snail have who shall not have
When the tide of storm Is o'er,
-Four shall make six and not four.
He who shall be no more,
And all that's past not make o score.
This will seem almost incredible
to many, but it is proved beyond
doubt that the lines were in exist
ence, and in one instance published
before Graut left the Executive
Chair. Mr.. Hayes is the nineteenth
President There has been " battle
smoke" enough, in political sense,
when we take into consideration the
recent electoral business. Can the
last few lines by any possibility refer
to Mr.. Tilden?
But Columbia shall again
Rise and fairer be than then;
Brother shall with brother speak
Whom he hath not seen u week;
Letters shall 80 beneath the deep,
Likewise over mountain steep;
Men shall speak to brazen ears;
Woids spoken shall be sent through post,
So no syllable be lost;
A drop OF water shall have then
The force of many thousand men.
1t does not take very fanciful
Imagination to draw from the above
a clear indication of Edison's numer-
Gus wonders of invention. The
alleged motor Of Keeley, the Phil
adelphia mechanic, claims to utilize
drop of water with such effect that
thousands of pounds pressure are
obtained.
The conclusion, which looks very
much like the time when two Sun
days meet" or tomorrow comes
never" runs as follows:
All these things shall happen when!
They shall happcn-not Isiore
Six years sha he reckoned four,
Thirteen shall be thiriy-nine;
This shall be a certain sign;
Nine aud one reversing take;
Eight and one the nine shall make.
When ninety ytwOarc eighty lone,
All these marvels shall be done.
A singular explanation of this ap-
parently unmeaning riddle has been
