The United States learns that the
arrears Of interest are practically
swept away as the bondholders agree
to accept the comparatively small sum
OF $4,000 IN settlement OF the full

In these and other respects the re-

failed TO observe this particular sign Of

that the future statutes of Liberia, was
recently much deliberated upon by sew

object OF unsolicited attention, II Is
quite probable that the American ne

the possibility OF exercising their priv
ileges under the tutelage of one of the

The End OF the World.

1t would be interesting to know how
many times within the passing cen
tury it has been announced by self
ordained prophets that the world
would come to an end ut such or such
date. We have very vivid rccol-
lection OF the alarm inspired in the
early fftics by book published by
the Rev. DR.. Cummings, of London,
and called "Thc Great Tribulation,
in which the writer avcrrcd that the
world would certainly end in the year
lS36. We do not now remember upon
what he based his convictions, but we
have Il lively recollection of the chill
Of terror which the very sight of the
book with its ominous title used to
send along our youthful spine, and
what IL relief it was when the year
ended, and the world was still pur-
suing its usual course around the sun.
That experience was destructive of
faith in all the race Of modern proph-
cts. 50 that we can receive with an
undSturbcd mind the latest effort to
create a panic in connection with the
expected shower Of stars in November
next. Mr.. Falb, an Austrian astrono-
mcr, is the seer on this occasion, and
he asserts that our globe will encOun-
ter Biela's comet on the 14th of No
ycmber, Of this year, and that the
result will be disastrous for one or
both of the bodies. This same Biela 8
comet has been made great deal of a
bugbear to us for many years; astro-
nomical people keeping it on hand, as
nurse does bogic, to scare us into
good behavior when they think we are
enjoying ourselves too much. 1t was
this comet that was to have knocked
the earth into Cpl in 1892, and which
did not. Again in 1866 we we're
threatened with dire calamity from
the switch of its tail as it sped across
the orbit of the earth, and that also
failed; and now We are once more
warned, this time by Mr.. Rudolph
Falb, to have our affairs in order and
our ascension robes ready for Novem-
Der II, as it will infallibly hit us this
time, and he will not be answerablc
for the results.
Fortunately for the world there are
other astronomers of equal cmincnce
and learning with Mr.. Falb, who do
not agree with him in his gloomy pre-
dictions, and one of the most distin-
guishcd Of these is NJ. Flammarion, Of
Paris. He assures us that space is
full of comets flying in every direction
around the sun, like moths around q
