that on the afternoon OF to- day-W ednesday
29th-the southern portion of this country will
be visited by disastrous earthquake. and the
Northern portion by destructive cyclones. but
no one need have their nerves disturbed by this
prediction, for Virgins has made many won
derful predictions, none of which were verified
by the result. He is cranK. like most wealth
er prophets, and he is specially prophet of
evil" Though he las uniformly failed hereto
fore, he continues to prophesy. hoping that he
may at some time happen to predict truly. and
then his reputation will be established. fol
those who believe in modern prophets will give
him credit for the time he hits and will not count
against him all the times he has missed. One
lucky guess is all that is needed to establish his
reputation as veritable prophet. and for that
he is gambling vigorously II there were truth
Is the old adage about "a fool for luck" he
would have guessed right at least once before
this time. His failure makes us doubt the
truth of the adage.
