A CURIOUS PROPHECY.

Over forty years ago an old German
hermit published in a Bavarian paper
a curious prophecy. In it he fortold
the Austro-Russian and FrancO-Prus-
sian wars. the death Of Pope Plus
and the Turko- Russian debate at
arms. He said that Germany would
have three Emperors in n year be-
Gated the death OF two United States
Presidents by assassination. All
these things have come to pass.
In the same article he said that
when the twentieth century opens
great seismic disturbances will take
place, which will cause the submer-
sion Of New York city and the west
ern half of the city of Havana. Cuba
is to break in two, while Florida and
Lower California are to suffer total
extinction. The shock Of these earth
quakes will rae buildings to the
ground in almost every city on the
continent, millions of lives and bill
lions Of dollars worth Of property will
be lost.
There is to be a change in the econ
omic conditions Of almost every civil
lized nation. He fortells the growth
of a Democratic spirit in England.
which will result in a revolution that
will overthrow the present form Of
Government and make the country a
republic. He saws that the last ruler
of England will be the hest the N
try ever had, and the first President
of the new nation will be one Of the
royal family.
Queen Victoria is by long odds the
best ruler England has Yer had.
and in a recent speech the Prince Of
Wales said it is his desire to live to
see England a republic.
According to the hermit Russia,
France and Italy will form an ALI
ance and will enter into war with
Turkey. This war is to be the cut
growth Of Turkish persecution Of
Christian subjects. This triple al
lance will conquer the domain of the
Sick Man Of the East. At the expera-
ton of the war complications will
arise that will plunge 1t ly and
France into war with Russia. The
result will be that the two countries
will be gobbled up by the Northern
Power, and will cease to exist as indie
pendent nations. While war is being

will move the seat of Catholicism from
Rome to some town in Southern Ire
land.
A rebellion will take place in the
country will become independent of
England. Then a conflict will arise
between the ultra-Catholics CT the
south Of ireland and the ultra-PrO-
testants of the north, in which the
southerners will be the v~ict0rs. A
kingdom will be established. and it is
predicted that the region Of the first
p~otentate will become historic for its
tyranny.
The prophet paints a dark future
for the United States. He says at the
close of the century a feeling Of I'M
rest will seize the people. This feel
ing will be the outgrowth of unequal
social and economic conditions, He
predicts that the twenty-fifth Presi-
dent will be the last executive head OF
the United States. During his adj
ministration the d~iscoutented masses
will break into open rebellion, and the
established form of Government viii
be rent asunder, and for a year OIL
more anarchy will prevail. Wher
order shall be brought out Of chaos
six republics will be formed, with cap
itals at the following cities: Sar
Francisco, Denver, New Orleans, St
Louis, Washington and Boston.-N
