 From the Pittsbnrg Dispatch
 A staff correspondent ll4s hnnd one w. Fl. Alien, Of Greeuxille. who still holds to his faith in the proph- ecies of Mother Shipton. He ex- plains that 1881 has passed, and we are still astronomically about where we were last year. In brief, the world to an end did come, in 1881, as per schedule; not in the common, narrow meaning of tic verb, Ebut 'in the broader sense of s'coming to to come" There was no jar, no noise, no scene, but gentle. quiet, com fortable, coming to come. The un- pleasantness ID Egypt Is the begin nIng of the great battle of Armaged- don, which according to Mir. Allen, is to last for forty eight years, with occasional .ruces, and result in the destruction of all sinners and the formation of world wide nation, with the Jewish people as it's ruling class. He tells of visions youch- safed to him personally during the last two years, by which his studies have been directed. and accounts himself as one of the young men" whom the prophet Joel had in mind who should 'see visions.''lps tl
 He thinks the day of judgment is upon us, and this battle in Egypt is the great battle of Armegetldon, or great battle of God Almighty. One of the leaders in Egypt, who has 20,- 900 men under him. is known as the False Prophet. The Scripture speaks of him: And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet; for they are the spirits of the devils working miracles which go forth unto the kings of the earth and the whole world to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. And he gathered them together.in q place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.' { Rev. xvi, 13 and IA. ) The application of the word dragon is to the ruler of the Egyptians, and no doubt refers to Arabi Bey. Eze- kiel says (Chap. xxix., 3, Behold, l am against thee, Pharaoh, King of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said my river is mine own, and I have made it myself The river in that clause is plainly the Suez canal This judgment has fallen upon Alex andria because Mark was dragged through her Streets and killed"
 "Then this is only the beginning of general vengeance on4the sin ners everywhere, according to your notionT said the reporter.
 "Yes. The massrcre at Alexan- dria was comparatively tame, com pared with what will come. Rome will be utterly destroyed. Then Je- rusalem will rise again. 1 The ldes- truction of the sinners from the face of the earth, which has now begun, will be completed in about forty. eight years, and then will succeed a reign of peace under some holy prince of the Jewish race. It is the world, not the earth, that is to come to an end. Six days of thousand years each for day is as thousand years in His sight and a thousand years as one day) have passed. We are at the throshhold of the Sabbath, and this bloodshed that is to come IS the purifcatioA necessary before the period of peace"
 "How is America to become em- broiled in this Egyptian warr'
 'I do not know just now, but we will bs in the great war, you can de pend on it. If it is necessary to the fulfllment of the prophecy, q navy will be furnished us. No, I cannot tell you what. will happen next in the Egyptian war, nor just how long the great nations will take sides in the great conflict, except that the Egyptians and their allies will get whipped. It is much easier" he concluded, naivcly, "ts sec the ap-. plication of prophecy after it is fnl- .l
