Say Your Prayers and Stand

frsm Uader.-The most important
prophecy Of the worlds destruction since
that Of Mother Shipton is that of the Mo-
hammedan prophets who have pro-
nouneed by proclamation that the Sth of
November Is to be the last day Of the uni
verse. According to these prophets the
time of forgiveness and mercy will then
close and the days of retribution and
judgment will begin. The prophet Mo-
manned Saleh tells, In relating his vision,
that the last of the twenty-five signs pre-
ceding the dissolution of the world and
its inhabitants will be the approach of the
armies OF Imam Malidi with their black
ensigns during the feast Of Ramadon,
celebrated during October, and when the
close of the festival OH the fatal Sth of
November marks the close Of the thir
teenth Mohammedan century, the sun
will rise in the west and tempest will
bear away the souls of all who have any
faith. At the close OF the Mahdi's reign
there will be sounded two blasts of the
trumpet, at which the dead will rise and
the time Of judgment is to begin.

4 Valuable Cow.

A thoroughbred Jersey cow, owned by
Valancey +. Fuller, of Hamilton, Ontario,
Canada, and registered us Mary Anne, OF
St. Lambert, (9,T0,) is undergoing but
ter test for one year, and has completed
the fourth month and an additional day,
with the unparalleled yield of Az pounds
y, ounces of butter, which is sailed only
one ounce to the pound. Two weeks OF
this test were verified by a committee OF
the Canadian Jersey Breeders Associa-
ton. The last week of the test the COW
yielded u pounds 934 ounces of butter.
Statistics give the average yield OF DAIRY
COWS during the grass season at about one
pound of butter day, and 4 COW that gives
two pounds day is regarded us very SUI
pcrior. This test IS the subject of lively
interest among breeders, as it promises to
show yield greater than that OF the cow
Eurotas, z ,45i,) that gave 77S pounds |
ounce and bore 4 calf within the year,
which is the best score of the kind on rec
ord. The two COWS are closely related in
blood.
The Supreme Court of the United States
has declared that the civil rights act is
unconstitutional and therefore void. There
were five civil rights cases before the
court, all based on the first and second
sections of the civil rights act Of March,
1875, and all prosecutions under that act
for not admitting certain colorcd persons
to equal accommodations and privileges
in hotels, railroad cars and theatres. The
court decides that Congress had no au-
thority under the Constitution to pass
those sections.
The President has appointed Charles b.
Trail, Of Frederick, Md, to be secretary
of the United States legation at Rio dc ia
Metro, Brazil.
