DEATH FROM UPIATEs.-A St. Johns
bury dispatch says: " Mrs. Joseph Soper
Of this place died, suddenly, Wednesday
morning, She was suffering Tuesday
afternoon with neuralgia in the head.
Physicians were called who administered
dose Of morphine and choral. She soon
went to sleep and all efforts to awake her
proved fruitless. She was aged 80 years"
Although Mrs. Shipton's prophecy abou,
1881 came to grief, and the year passed
without those unparalleled and astounding
events which some people had expected
Of it, yet, according to a Philadelphian
there is still time for prodigics TO occur in
connection with this mysterious epoch. e.
W. French is his name and be believes in
the symbolism of the great pyramid, and
insists that certain prophecies indicated in
the sign language Of this pyramid We're
remarkably fulfilled last year. After
proving that the prophecies Of Daniel
point straight to 1881, and that the Apoc-
alytic vision of 1860 years from the Mo
bammedan hegria in 1881 gives the same
date, be declares " the pyramid shows a
p!us 1851 or, in other words, that it is
cTried over, in its results iHto + part Of
tie current year. Hence he looks for
great religious events in 1882; and those
who have q taste for marycs Of any sort
may be glad to thus learn that tie present
period OF potents is net wholly over.
1t it now said-and we hope truthfully-
that the recent reports regarding the
alleged scandalous character of the ex.
penses incidental TO the funeral of Presi-
dent Garfeld'h have been much exaggerated
Dat Of the eight thousand dolors which
WAS paid by the sergeant alarms OF the
House were pail the entire expenses oil
the railroad train, consisting of six pull
man cars which run from Washington tc
Cleveland, the bills for n large number
Of carriages for the congressional process
sion here and in Cleveland, the expenses
attending the mourning decorations OF the
capital and the funeral train and many
other items of legitimate expense, The
amount paid for refreshments, including
wines used on the train, was very small.
