Newton was missing from her home

MADE PREDICTIONS.

Lottie Fowler, woman who in her
prime amazed the world with accurate
predictions OF events, was laid in her
grave at New York yesterday. Her
last days were passed in the Manhat-
tan State Hospital for the Insane.
10 1870 Miss Fowler fret became
known az prophecies. She predicted
that an explosion would occur in the
factory of the Union Metallic Cartridge
Company. at Bridgeport Conn. and one
person would be killed. Her prediction
came true. A terrible explosion oc
Cured in the chemical department Of
the works, and the chemist was killed.
A great outcry was made against her,
and she found it convenient to leave
New England. This brought her fame.
She then went to Europe. While in
England in 1874 she predicted that the
Prince of Wales would meet with an
accident. The English were greatly
excited, but somewhat more so when
the prediction came true.
She next went to Vienna where she
enlisted the friendship of the Countess
Adelina Won Wurmbraud. Through
her she met many royal personages.
Prince Wittgenstein, an officer of the
German army, is ssid to have offered
her marriage. She refused him.
In 1880 she went to st. Petersburg,

government decided that Miss Fowler
was dangerous person to be in the
country, and she was sent across the
frontier. Then she came back to Ameri-
ca and sank into obscurity.

THE PRESIDENT seems intent upon
increasing the race antagonism that his
party has melted and promoted in the
South ever since the close OF the war
between the States. He has now pro-
voked all the white people in the Flor
ence, South Carolina, neighborhood, by
appointing negro as their postmaster.
If he has common sense he must know
that such an appointment can possibly
do neither the negro postmaster him
self, nor his race, nor the republican
party, nor anybody, any good, but Is
well calculated to DO everybody harm.
His action, therefore, in making such
appointments can be reasonably ex-
planned on no other ground than that
of absolute deviltry, which, in simple
citizen, might not cause special Won
der, but 10 the President of seventy-tive
million people, deserves and should re-
ceive the severest condemnation.

NEGRO free schools have evidently pro-
duced the same effect in Georgia as in
Virginia, for the Governor of the former
says that vice and crime have increased
among the negroes of that State in the
same proportion that illiteracy among
them has decreased. The testimony Of
the world proves that education alone
is not conducive to morality,
aud a comparison of the pres
emf moral condition of the peo-
pie of this country with that prevI-
Gus to the establishment OF free schools
here, proves that the United States are
no exception to the rule. That crime
mas increased at a fearful rate among
the negroes of the South since they
were cursed with free schools, is too
patent to deserve mention.
