and Italy will form an alliance, and will
enter into war with Turkey. This war is
to be the outgrowth Of Turkish persecu-
ton OF Christian subjects. The triple
alliance will conquer the domain OF the
sick man of the east.
At the expiration Of the war compliea-
tions viii arise which will plunge Italy
and France into war with Russia. The
result will he that the two countries will
be gobbled no BY the northern power and
will cease to exist as independent nations.
While the war is being waged between
them the pope will move the seat OF
Catholicism from Rome TO some town in
Southern Ireland.
A rebelion will take place in the land
Of the shamrock, in which the country
will become independent Of England
Then a conflict will arise between the
ultra Catholics of the south of Ireland
and ultra Protestauts Of the north, in
which the southerners will lie the victors.
A kingdom will he established, and it is
predicted that the reign of the first
poteniate will become historic for its
tyranny.
The prophet paints dark future for
the United States. He says AT the close
of the century a feeling Of unrest will
seize the people. This feeling will be the
outgrowth of unequal social aud economic
conditions He predicts that the 18th
president will lie the last executive head
of the United States. During his admin
stration the Discontinued masses will
break INTO open rebellion, and the estab-
lished form of government will be rent
asunder, and for year or more anarchy
will prevail. When order shall be brought
out of chaos six republics will lie formed,
with capitals at the following cities: San
Francisco, Denver, New Orleans. ST..

Witnessing the Truth.

The following beautiful illustration of
the simplicity and the power of truth is
from the pen of S. II. Hammond. He was
an eyewitness of the scene in one of the
higher courts
A little girl, nine years of age, was
offered as a witness against prisoner who
was on trial for felony committed in her
fathers house.
"Now Emily" said the counsel for the
prisoner, upon her being offered as a
witness, al desire to know if you under
stand the nature of an osth?''
81 don't know what you mean," was the
simple answer.
"There your honor" said the counsel
addressing the court, sis anything further
necessary TO demonstrate the validity of
my objection This witness should be
rejected. She does not understand the
nature OF an oath"
"Let us see" said the judge, "come here
my daughter"
Assured by the kind tone and manner
Of the Judge, the child stepped toward
him, and looked confdingly up in bis face,
with calm, clear eye, and in a manner

VOLUMINOUS REPORT.
Filed in the Southern Building
and Loan Association.
lPnlaski NeN..ReNicN

y PeytOn Grey, standing master OF the
United states circuit court, las just filed
his report in the well-knOwn canse of
Linda II. Johnson vs. tn Southern Build
ing and Loan Association, OF Knoxville,
Tenn. The report is lengthy covering
over 900 typewriter pages, and as far
as known, is the most soiuminous ever
filed by master IN the United States.
The report deals with the business done
by the association IN twenty-five towns
and cities in which there were several
hundred stockholders and one hundred
and foriy-seven loans. Under the report
the borrowing wembers are treated in the
dual capacity OF borrowers and stock
books and proceedings like that laid down
in the case of Post vs.. the Mechanics
Building and Loan association 81 Tenn }
and the analogous cases OF Carpenter W
Richardson I1enn.l Douglas vs.. Kava-
naugh $50 Federal Reporter; Bowman vs..
Foster % Federal Reporter.
The premium charged by the ASSOCIATION
is held to be illegal aud usurious, and is
credited OH the loaus-togcther with in
terest and fines, on the principal Of partial
payments, the borrower being rated as a
stOOkl holder as to one half of his stock
payments, and being entitled to pro rata
to the extent Of his stock, with the other
stock holders. The nstament and paidup
stockholders are entitled to pro rata on
the basis of the amounts paid in by them
to the association. Stockholders are all
placed on the same footing and those who
gave notice Of Withdrawal are given no
preference over others. The assets and
liabilities ia the Western district Of Vir-
ginia are apparently about the same.
1t will be remembered there has been
considerable litigation between the various
receivers in this case, and great deal OF
confusion has grown out Of it, but the
Circuit Court of Appeals has by a recent
decision settled the question at issue, by
| Affirming the decisions heretofore made
| by Judge Paal IN favor of the Western
district Of Virginia, The report is type
written on thin paper and neatly bound,
so that it is by no means a bulky volume.

Glimpse Into the Future.

Over 80 years ago an old German hermit
published in a Bavarian paper curious
prophecy. In it he foretOld the Austro-
Russian and Franco Russian wars, the
death Of Pope Plus and the Turko Russian
debate at arms. lie said that Germany
would have three emporers in one year
before the end of the century, and indi-
Gated the death of two United States pres
idents by assassination. All these have
came to pass. In the same article he
said that when the Goth century opens
great seismic disturbances will take place
which will cause the submersion Of New
York city and the western 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 earthquakes will raxe buildings to
the ground in almost every city on the
continent; millions Of lives and billions
worth of property will be lost
There is to be a change in economic
conditions OF almost every civilized nation.
he foretells the growth Of 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 says the last ruler of
England will be the best the country ever
had, and the fret president Of the new
nation will be one Of the royal family.
Queen Victoria is by long odds the best.
ruler England ever had, aud in a recent
speech the Prince of Wales said 1t Is his
desire to live to see England q republic.

And the Spaniards fired their cannon,
Shouting loud as OFF they ran:

And so just to even matters,
Twixt this country and with Spain,
What he did down in Manila
Why he does and does again.

And before the show began
