 "If you are on speaking terms with As- trologer Raphael, ask him to allow you to 1 publish his prophecies on preceding days. l We do not see it sometimes until the day Is l far spent"

His was a dignified amabili- | ty. In social intercourse he did not lend the impression of masterful intellectual qualities.
 From Birmingham MT. Stevenson jour | neyed to Anniston, where a banquet and a great reception were given him at the | Inn, then famous eatinghouse. It was a great night, a great time.
