w. J. Driscoll, of Jacksonville, Fla,

w. J. Driscoll, of Jacksonville, Fla,
superintendent of mails, was warm
friend of the late Owen Summers, who
took great fancy to Mr.. Driscoll's little
boy, a bright youngster of nearly three
years. The Judge frequently petted him
and gave him dainties, and in return was
fully repaid by the child's admiration.
Now comes the strange part of the story,
rather to be accounted for in the occult
than any ordinary science, that men be-
lieve through the proof OF causes by
effect. On the night that Judge Sum mers
died the little fellow awoke with start,
followed by scream and the exclama-
ton, in voice trem bling with terror !:
"Oh, mama! mama! Judge Summers
says he's dead v The little lad was
bathed in cold perspiration. He was
comforted and told that he was dreaming,
and after some time was tucked away
sound asleep in his crib. The next morn
ing the announcement came, startling the
whole community, that Owen Summers
was dead. Now tho question is: "Did
the spirit of Owen Summers, winging its
way into the great unknown, tap at the
child's crib, in the dead of night, and
whisper in the little fellows ear an eter-
nal farewell?"
- The Governor Of New Hampshire
and the Governor of Virginia have re-
ceived letters from Washington signed
"Beniamin F. Hunter written as fol-
lows: "You are hereby informed that
among the many cities which shall be
smitten with terrible calamity and de-
stroyed inside of two years from this very
day is the same in which you now live,
known as Richmond. Every house
therein shall be thrown level with the
ground and all the inhabitants thereof
shall be scattered 80 that not two of them
shall be found together. 1t is the office
of the prophet, who also is Nazarite
unto God, to tell the people what God is
going to do to them for their past wicked
ness. But under no circumstances is be
allowed to tell them when, thus says the
Lord: "The wicked shall fall at once.
Yea, will I scatter them to the four cor
ners Of the earth. Amen."
"The Uncertainty of Life" was the
subject Of the sermon of Father Fideils
Voiet, in the Catholic Church of our Lady
of Angels, at Albany, N. Y, Sunday. and
it was strangely exemplifed il the death
of Mrs Peter Bichel, who was present.
Father Voigt had just uttered the words /:
sNo man knows the hour or day when
the Lord cometh," when the woman fell
back in her seat as if in faint. Father
Gehring went to her side, and, realizing
that she was dying, administered the
sacrament of extreme JUNCTION, while the
congregation repeated prayers for the dy-
ing. The scene was an impressive one.
"A physician was called and pronounced
life extinct.

80 square miles, and the plan of consoli-
dation increases it eight times, or to 317
square miles. The com bined population
is 600. 600 and is exceeded by cnly four
States. If the New York Legislature
decides to make the consolidation sure
thing New York will rank second in the
great cities of the world, London coming
first at 4,231 ,431; Paris third, at 9, ,447 ,057;
Canton, at 100000; Berlin, at 1,579, 244;;
Toxic, at 1889, ,6S4; Vienna. at 1864, ,54S,
and philadelphia, at 1,l42,653, following
in the order named. In the present ratio
of growth the territory involved in the
Greater New York would have 10000 600
population within fifty years.
