"DON'T PREDICT UNLESS You Know

Sir,-You can have no idea OF the harm done
TO sick aud nervous people, young and old,

end" the conjunction of the different
planets, Mother SYMPTOMS predictions, and
Professors Smyth's book entitled "The
Great Pyramid" all pointing to tins year

sure three frightened children, and obge
AN ANXIOUS MOTHER.
NeW York, February ], 1881.
Astronomers Of the highest reputation
have pronounced the predictions based upon
planetary coniunctions as arrant moonshine.
Professor Smyth's book contains no predic-
ton that Is not based on approximations so
elastic as to be little more than systematic
guesswork. The Pyramid weights and
measures can be made 10 prove anything
which an imaginative calculator wishes.
FOf example, one OF the latest treatises, az
ter interpreting verse from the Old Tesla
meet rs distinctly f0reshadowing the United
States, with the national flag accurately SYM
boil zed, makes one OF the Pyramid measures
the base OF the Dollar OF the Daddics."
Oar correspondent probably reads her New
Testament, and can find In the Gospels the
distinct declaration, "Of that day and that
hour knowcib no man; no, not the angels
which are in heaven" and can surely satisfy
herself and her children that Mother Ship
tons prophetic intuilions are as uncertain
as The serial flights Of The old woman in the
nurseiy rhyme who sweeps the cobwebS
from the skies. Editor Tribune.
We are glad to see the Tribune rebuking
these sensaiion.mongers. "An Anxious
Mother" speaks for many thousands OF ig-
norant and nervous persons, the former OF
whom have no means Of judging whether
the predictions are foolish or not, and the
latter OF whom cannot overcome the weak
ness OF their nerves. Because no man know
eth the day and the hour Of the end, many
are always looking for It.

Fast Masl Improving.


Mr.. Editor of Haiifo1 record; When
there is so much complaint about the slow
fast mail il may not be amisS, in justice, to
show 10y the record that there seems to be
some Improvement now and then. For in-
stance: We received letter on the I'd Of
February mailed at South Boston on the
% h Of January-time. not quite mile a
dav. Since then, postal mailed at the same
office on the 9th instant was received on the
7th Instant time, three miles a day. The
first was about week too late to attend to
the business il related TO, whilst the last was
only thlrty.siX hours. Nov, at this rate we
may hope by the spring 10 get back to our
old iime-siX miles an hour.

MI JEFFERSON Davis Is paying the penalty OF
Writing book. The critics are tearing his
history" to tatters, and the severest comments
upon his Work come from ex-confederates.
The southern side OF the war is being fought
over again, on paper, In consequence OF Mr..
Davis structures upon some OF the leading
generals on that side. The passions enyen.
deTed by the rebellion have 80 far died out tn at
the people OF tae country now feel interested
IN getting at the truth OF history. and ir is only
In this light that the Davis book add the con-
froyerses over 1t attract attention Coated
crate official records were very Incomplete, aud
1t is only from the papers held by and the recol-
iect1ons OF the chief actors on that side that
the missing liak7 can be supplied. The honor
ef having been LEES Iavorite general has
peen awarded 10 perhaps no less than score
OF men who fought under the rebel COM
mander. 1t has been easy to claim distinction as
confederate and to assert the claim for the
reason that there were no records Of regiments
and commands to either establish or refute
II. as Is the case with the Union army.
At conference OF the stalwarUs of the New
York legislature, In Albany last night, Mr.
Conkling spoke for over an hour. He opposed
any combination for the election OF Senators
which should Include half breed, and insisted
upon the election Of pure staiWarts. In the
event that two stalwarts cannot be elected, b,
advised adjournment of the legislature. The
