crash. Flames were darting from the
doors and windows and the interior of the

A Prediction.

Wendell Phillips was one of tho most
astute thinkers of the age, and rarely
failed in his forecasts of political events
and national development. Not long be-
fore his death he said:
"The handwriting is so plain on the
wall that none but fool need mistake 1t.
New England is doomed just as sure as
natural laws will produce fixed results
New England has 10 soil worth NELL
tioning, and her wealth has all been de-
rived from her manufactures. These are
gradually leaving her, and eventually
they will all go; some to the West, the
most to the South, where the advantages
for profitable manufacturing are all loca-
ted. The coal and iron III the South are
easily gotten at and inexhaustible in
amount, and the iron mills, the foundries
and machine shops can go to them better
than they can be carried to the shops.
Then the cotton and wooden mills must
90 there, for the raw materials are, and
are to be, produced there most cheaply,
uniformly and better. Then look at the
advantages of the extra honrs OF day
light in q years run. This Of itself is nj
small matter. AS the South grows strong
er and stronger, the wealth, culture ant
power of the country will be centered un
| til she will become not alone the mistress
of America, but the central empire of thu
world"
Those who witnessed the development
of tho South during the past twent,
years, before which time the prediction
was made, can realize how correct it was
