Il is well known that Mother
shipton erophssied that the world
TO an end would come in 1881.
This forecast has not yet had a de-
precisting effect OF real estate, and
il is rather doubtful If the most
supestiiious Detroiter would sell
anything less On account Of It..
Mother ship.on was a garrulous
old lady, whose manuscript is
dated l44s. Her book Of local
prophesies, which is 10 the British
Museum, bears date 1641. II. al
that time, the line. we're written.
that Carriages without horses
should 60" and that through
mountains men shall ride and
''iron swim on the sea-" the book
would be, indeed, remarkable.
But these prophetic phases, to-
gether with the 1881 prediction,
are all forgeries on the old lady.
In 1862 Charles Kindly, Of Brigh-
ton, England, published Mother
Symptoms book, in which he inter
polated the lines referred to. The
1881 prophesy was taken from
Piazza Smiths reading Of the
hieroglyphics in the grand gallery
