From the New York Herald.
Some curious prophecies have been made
recently by Mile. Couedon, the French
prophecies who claims to act under the
inspiration of the Angel Gabriel. Cham
pions of the feur-de-lis will be glad to
read these lines by her:
We must return to our favorite flower.

And they spring up like the grass.
When the signal is given
They will cover us with sweet perfume.
Gabriel, however. does not say whom
the lilies represent whether Don Carlos
or the Duke or Anjou or the Duke of Or
leans. All we are told is that the lilies
are about TO flourish and chat there Will
soon be a King Of France.
That Queen Victoria will soon die is
very evident to Nile. Couedon. I'VE should
pray for her." she says, for l see that
within a very short time she will bid
farewell to this world. She will be ma
ligned, for some utterly unsupported secret
will be brought to light Moreover, her
pleasant strait will be taken away from

At the outset, although signs of collapse
we're manifested in the wavering of prices
and the freedom of offerings, the bun lead
,rs endeavored to arrest the threatened
d4luge by pointing out the comparative
stcadiness Of Liverpool quotations and the
frosty weather conditions in the north

rob any maiiboxes. He was standing on
the postoffice steps September II when Max
