THE FORD BROTHERS GIVE THE Bos-

OF LIFE IN MIssoURI-sEvERAL

During q lecture in Boston on the
night of December Both, by the
Ford brothers, the slayers of Jesse
James, in one of the subsidiary halls
Of the Horticultural building, Ire

CURED. There was a large audience
present, and some rough loudly of
fered the opinion that the Ford
brothers were "no good" This re-
fiection was resented by the broth
ers. who drew their revolvers and,
brandishing them, leaped from the
stage into the midst of the audience.
The people stampeded Immediately,
and such was the haste that many
sought egress through the windows,
smashing the sashes to the ground.
The floor and windows open direct
ly on the street. Policeman Robin
son who heard the crash of glass and
saw the people running from the
hall, made his way into the building
and seized both the brothers, who
had assaulted several people with
the butts of their revolvers The
officers proposed to take them to
the station, and they desired 10
buckle on their revolvers, avowing
fear of their lives. The officers
would not permit this, and started

CZNCZKNATT,s PROPHET.
REMARKABLE EVENTS TO OCCUR IN
TWO COMING YEARS.

1
TWO COMING YEARS.
Cincinnati has a prophet, and hi.
name is Jas. NJ. Swormstedt. His
predictions, which are made, he Rf.
firms, that his "fellow- -mortals may
be lead to escape these great judg-
ments, are as follows:
A great financial panic will sweep
like wildfre over the United States
some time in 1883, which will pros
trate all industries, paralyZe all
business, and throw out of employ
ment every man, woman and child
in the country.
The condition of the working
classes will become so desperate that
they will rise up like q food, aud
sweep away both Church and State
and fill the land with violence.
Satan, in affecting the world like
he did Job, will next bring the
great uhirlwind of jeremiah, XIV.
32, which will slay "from one end
of the earth even to the other end
Of the earth" Joel, ii. Ill con-
tains some dreadful particulars of
this destructive whirlwind.
Satan will soon wheel a feet of
seven great comets into line. One
will plunge into the sun, producing
a great outburst of solar light and
heat. The moon will be as light as
the sun and the light of the sun will
be increased sevenfold. The other
six will affect the rivers, the sea, the
earth and the air.
Tremendous snowfalls, hailstones
of enormous size, awful floods and
flaming fire will come to complete
the dark picture.
There will be great earthquakes
in divers places. The most dread
ful and destructive one of all will be
in the latter part of 1884.
As the Lord restored double to
Job so Mill He to our land. IG will
arise Phoenix like from the ashes of
its ruins and in the latter part of
1888 will be made like the Garden
of Eden.
The millennium, or reign of
CuTfsls VIII DeSin IN inc Onlleu
States forty years before the rest of
the world is made new by the good
King.
Free homes, free supplies and
everlasting life will be given to all
who will believe in this good King
and fee to this place ofrefuge from
the prosecutions of Satan and the
future Antichrist whom he ia to set
up over the revived Roman Empire
The Lord is to form a vast camp
around the great pyramids of Egypt,
and at the sounding of q great
trumpet the angels are to gather his
elect there from one end of heaven
to the other (see Joel, ii. IL; Isaiah,
xix, 10; Psalms, xvii, 81 All who
will turn to God with their whole
heart and love the appearing of
Christ will be supernaturally pro-
tected there until the time of trou-
BILE is over, that is from the autumn
of 1883 to the spring of 1885. After
that a new set of events open up
which are too long to recount just
now.

4 sISGULAR COLYCEDESCE.

A New York dispatch of the 3Oth
says Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague is
domiciled in that city, over an Ital-
ian restaurant ia Twenty-ninth
street, between Broadway and Fifth
avenue, and il devoting herself to
the education of her daughters. AL
though she has been here several
weeks, her presence has been little
known and she receives but very
few friends. Within a short time
ex-senator Conkling has moved from
the Filth Avenue Hotel to apart
ments almost directly opposite hers.
The coincidence is hardly less mark
ed when il il explained that the Bar
Association is located in Twenty
ninth street. and Mr.. Conkling de-
aires 10 have ready access to its
library.

the Republican Army OF Mexico,
with view TO organizing a legion
composed of discharged American
soldiers, TO aid in driving Maximil-

will settle over them forever" was
written of the Indians half centu-

they read it in their school readers.
But the Indians didn't sink, and
they don't sink, and they don't ap-

The wife of fasting DIR. Tanner
has lately taken up her abode in
France, having obtained a divorce
from her eccentric husband uuder
the following circumstances: DIR.
Tanner, it appears, is peculiarly ad-
dicted to extraordinary fancies, and
some time since be thought that he
had found out that the human char
acter becomes modified according TO
the food taken by the individual,
and especially in relation TO the veg
etables consumed. Carrots, he
AYERS, makes people 6dgety and sly )
turnips produce extreme amiability,
while q prolonged diet of French
beans induces great irritability Of
temper. The carrying out of this
theory has brought great trouble
into DIR. Tanners home. He made
a heavy wager on the question with
some friends, and experimental on
Mrs. Tanner with French beans
giving her to eat about three pounds
OF this vegetable daily. 1t is not al
together 10 be wondered at if, after
such n regimen, Mrs. Tanner be
came rather more irritable than was
perhaps contemplated, and threw
Jug at DIR. Tanners head. The doc
tor, however, gained his bet; and,
more thoroughly convinced than
ever of the truth Of his theory, put
his wife on the turnip diet, so as to
make her as amiable as she was be-
fore the French bean regimen. This
time. however, the result was not so
strictly i'm accordance with the the
ory. Mrs. Tanner objected to being
any longer a subject for these vege-
tartan experiments, sued for a di-
vorce, and, what is more singular,
obtained il.

 It was very funny, and the clerks in the war department enjoyed some hearty laughs over it: but when it reached the secretary he became indignant, and re garded it as an insult. He ordered charges and specifications to be drawn up, and a court-martial was actually or dered, when 1t came to the ears of Gov ernor Marcy. then secretary of state, who vas level-heade6, and who advised Davis to let the matter drop. He might convlc, Derby, and dismiss him from the service. but he would be laughed at from one end of the country to the other.
