A Partly Fulfilled Prophecy.

The following curious prophecy has been
found in the NostIadamus by The Paris
"In the year 1888 the country of France will
see a number Of men die who will have exer-
cised influence on its destiny. From the frs
month to the last the inhabitants will be sur
prised by some fatal news. Towards the mid
die of the year will expire the last descendant
Of a dynasty which will have ruled France for
several centuries. This Prince will die in a
foreign land, and his death will be concealed
for three days. Shortly after the death of
that Prince one OF the survivors of the Corsi-
can family will seek to reign in the capital.
He will assemble his partisans and march on
Paris at their head. The Psrisians will 20
forth to meet the Pretender. There will be a
battle and great slaughter and the Pretender
will be killed before arriving at the gates Of
Paris"
Strange to say this prophecy has been par
TALLY fulfilled by the death of the Comte de
Chambord. Will Prince Jerome carry out the
part which fate apparently assigns to him

THE FENCE QUESTION.
An Eminent Jurist Declares That the State
IL Responsible for Damages.

Is Responsible for Damages.
a LIGHT representative had an interesting
conversation to-day with an eminent jurist on
the fence cutting, in which he declared that
the State government having failed TO use the
force at their command to prevent the out
RACES now going on, had rendered itself liable
for compensation to the individuals whose
property had been destroyed, and those claims
would be forced upon the Legislature at
the next session. These acts were for the
most part committed by the lazaroni Of Texas,
who objected TO the fences because 1t
prevented them from stealing cattle,
and uppropriating Mavericks in the way that
they have done in the past. Some idea Of the
state Of things may be found in the fact that
even Judge Noonan's pastures were fred and
his fences cut The Judge wanted to erect a
new fence, but no contractor would accept the
job for fear Of narauders cutting the wire
whilst the job was being done. AS a result,
the work has to be done under private guard.
The matter Of fact is this. that the Government
fails to do its duty 10 protecting the property
Of citizens, and much evil must arise there

In speaking Of the Souths brilliant outlook,
Wendell Phillips is reported to have said re-
Gently: "The handwriting is so plain on the
wall that none but a fool need mistake It..
New England is doomed just as sure as nat
ural laws will produce fixed results. New
England has no soil worth mentioning, and
her wealth has all been derived from her man
ufaclures. These are gradually leaving her,
and eventually they will all 60; some to the
West, but most to the South, where the adj
van,ages for profitable manufacturing are all
located. The coal aud iron in the South are
easily gotten at and ine1haustible in amount,
and the iron mills, foundres and machine
shops can 60 to them better than they can be
carried TO The shops. Then the cotton and
wooden mills must 60 there, for the raw ma
terials are, and are to be, produced there
most eheaply, uniformly and better. This,
Of ITSELF is no small matter. AS the South
grows stronger and stronger, the wealth,
culture and power Of the county will be CEN
tered there, until she will become, not alone
the mistress Of America, but the central en-
pire of the world"
