In the year 1855 occurred for the first time
in centuries that combination of holy days
and saints days which Nostradamus predicted
would be the sign Of the END of the
World His prediction, made in Latin over
800 Years ago, was that the end of the world
would come IN the year in which Good Fri
day came on St Georges day, and Easter
occurred on St. Marks day, Corpus Christi
came on st. Johns day
Nostradamus was celebrated physician
and astrologer in France, who died in 1866
aged 60 years. His predictions have been
for centuries the subject of an immense
amount of illustrative and controversial
literature I'm regard to the time for the
fulhlhnent Of these great prophecies, no
thoughtful observer will say that the astrolo-

indicate the beginning of the end. Within
the next century we may see the downfall Of

Coffee is more generally consumed in
Brazil than in any other part of the
world, The coffee fields of Brazil cover
100000 acres, with 100000 trees,
each tree averaging about one pound per
annum. The industry there employs
10000 hands The consumption of
coffee in Brazil averages yearly IA pounds
per inhabitant; in Belgium and Holland,
II pounds; in the United States,
pounds; in Germany, pounds, and i'll
Great Britain very little more than half
a pound Britons drink five times as
much tea as coffee, while Americans
drink eight times as much coffee as tea.
Down to 1900 the only source of coffee
supply was Arabia, but the berry is now
cultivated throughout most regions OF
the tropical world Java and Ceylon are
the principal centers of production after
Brazil, and the total output of the world
has been estimated to amount to not less
than 1000, 100000 pounds. New YORK.

Think how large part Of human activity
is consumed in the endeavor, mostly fruitless,
to settle questions Of right. The whole ma
chinery of justice, with its legislatures, its
courts of various instance, its judges, adyo-
Gates and attorneys attends continually upon
this very thing. And yet the glorious uncer-
tainty of the law has become q byword. Fleets
and armies are still the last resource of civil.
zation for determining the rights Of nations
Now, as in the time of Brennus, the sword is
the ultimate makeweight in the scale Of
justice. 1t may be said that the history of
right throughout the ages is ono long mar
tyrdom. 1t is ever being crpciled afresh
and put TO an open shame. But, speaking
generally, we may assert that the idea Of
right has hitherto been venerated by man.

tell an editor when he writes an article that

thing that does not accord precisely with
their views, they will neglect their business
to hunt him up and tell him of it. Pshaw!

he never professed any knowledge of the
laws and science of war, yet in his JOYOUS
moments he would relate his large experience
as soldier in the Black Hawk war of 1872
and as an officer in the Mormon war at
Nauvoo, in 1916. Nevertheless, during the
progress of the civil war he evinced a Quick
comprehension of the principles of the ssart. y
though never using military phraseology.
Thus his letter of April 10, 1862, to Gen. Nc
Clellan, then besieging Yorktown, exhibits
precise knowledge of the strength and pur-

1t is related by Gen. Grant in his memoirs
that when he was explaining how he proposed
to use the several scattered armies so as to
accomplish the best results, referring to the
