amazed at the extent of the mortality

Dewey, for from the moment when
Secretary Long sent his dispatch of
congratulation the commodore became
an admiral.

subsequent engagements. Never be-

A PROPHETIC NAME.
The Curious Prediction Made IN the
Naming OF Lake Pontchartrnin
Has Been FulHlied.

The name Of Lake ePontchartrain bears
In II a curious prediction, as it were, Of
what should be witnessed on 1t at the
present day. almost exactly eco years
after lberville named it, says the New
Orleans Picayune. Count Pontchartrai
and Count de Maurepas were two min
listers OF Louis XIV. under whose aus
pices Iberville ard Bienvi,e sailed from
La Rochelle, in France. in 1868, to es-
tablish the first colony in Louisiana,
and Iberville, in honor Of these patrons
of his enterprise. named Lakes Maure-
pas and Pontchartrain. Pontchartrain
is combination Of three distinct
French words, viz: Pont, meaning
bridge" char, meaning ear" and
train. meaning "train." The prediction
in the name lies in the fact that at pres
ent, in a single glance, one may see on
Lake Pontchartrain. where the North
eastern railroad crosses it, "pont"
(bridge), "char" (car), and train"
(train), thus sinterpreting the prediction
name of Lake Pontchartrain into Lake
with a bridge, a car and train of cars.
Equally noteworthy is it that the word
Pontchartrain, as here elucidated. con-
tains very clear prediction of the dis
covery of steam power, the invention
of the steam engine. ard the utilization
of the locomotive and the steam rail-
rond train as means of transporting
freight and passengers in the day of en-
lightenment of the nineteenth century.
In fact in the single word Poutchar-
train, as given by Lberville to the Lou
isiana interior lake near New Orleans,
was involved prediction. unconscious
ly proclaimed by Iberville, of "a vision
of the future and the world that was to
be-" The world Is crowded with Hora-
tios of the Hamlet variety, whose dim
philosophy fails utterly to grasp the
