Prophesy in a Lakes Name.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The name of Lake Pontchartrain bears
in it Z curious prediction, as it were, of
what should be witnessed on it at the pres
ent day almost exactly 200 years after
Iberville named it.
Count de Pontchartrain and Count de
Maurepas were the two ministers OF Louis
XIV, under. whose auspices Iberville and
Bienville sailed from La Rochelle, in
France, in 1868, to establish the first colo
ny in Louisiana, and Ibetville in honor Of
these patrons of his enterprise, named
Lake Maurepas and Pontchartrain Pont-
chartrain is a combination of three dis
tinct French words, viz: Pont, meaning
bridge" char, meaning car" and train
meaning train" The prediction in the
name lies in the fact that at present, in
a single glance, one may see on Lake Pont-

road crosses it, a "pont' (bridge), a char"
(car), and train" (train), thus interpret
ing the prediction name of Lake Pontchar-
train into lake with bridge, a car and a
train of cars. Equabt 79teworthy is il
that the word Pontchartraln. as here elu-
cidated. contains a very clear prediction
Of The discovery of steam power, the In
vention of the steam engine. and the utiil-
"a ton of the locomotive and the steam
railroad train as means of transporting
freight and passengers in the day of en-
lightment OF the nineteenth century. In
fact. in the single word Pontchartrain as
given by Ibsrville 20 the Louisiana inte-
rior lake near New Orleans, was involved
a prediction. unconsciously proclaimed by
Iberville. Of "a vision Of The future and
the world that was to be-
