WASHINGTON LETTER.


Boss Quay has returned,
and the very first thing he
did was to order the Sena-
tors Of his party to confirm
the nominations Of the Flor
idn officials, that the pro-
tests and chalgesof the Flor-(
ida Senator's liavehad ''hung|
up" for some time, J and the
result was the iivelsest secret
session Of the, Senate for ma
ny a day. The Democratic
Senators did not miDce'words
in attacking the men that
Quay was cracking his whip
to have confirmed, and the
Senate adjourned without
confirming them, but OF
course Mr.. Quay will see toit
that they are confirmed this
week.
At a meeting Of the execu-
tive committee Of the Nation.
alAssociatiOn Of Democratic
clubs held here Saturday, it
was determined to take an &C

gentle hint given by certain
leading democrats that no
help was needed from the

er in the good accomplished

ty Of good democrats. The

A CURIOUS PROPHECY.

In August, 1857, the Bava
rian Allgemeine Zeitung prin-
ted a remarkable prophecy,
had been made by an
old dhermitmany years before.
In it the rise Of Napoleon
the iii was clearly outlined,
as were also the AustrO-P -Pru-
sian and the Franco-P Pruss-
ian wars and thecolumune Of
Paris. He told how the death
OF Pope Plus would occur in
'76 or ~, and how it would
be followed by a Turco,Rus-
sian war, being but slightly.
wrong in either prediction.
. He said that Germany
would have three emperorsin
one year before theend Of the
century, which was verified
to the letter. He missed it
one, at least, in the number
OF United States Presidents
that were to die by assassi-
tion, which was remarkably
close, to say the least.
He said that when the Goth
century opened Manhatten is-
land and the whole of New
York city would be submerg-
ed in the waters of the Hud.
son, East river md the bay
Cuba will break in two. and
the west half of the city o
