Fleishman Seeks Honduras
Probably Sailed From Vera Cruz

report finds ready belief.
The statement that Fieishman has
sailed from Vera Cruz does not cor
fict with the known facts concerning
his Journey 1t is not likely that after
he met and was recognized by MI
Shanks, he would continue on TO
Guadalajara. as he said he would. Had
ne gone on to Guadalajara he would
have reached there on Wednesday
morning. If he turned at Aguas
>.ancntes and made connections for
Tampico or Vera Cruz he could have
reached the former port on Wednes-
uay evening and the latter the follow
ing day. There are at least seven lines
of steamers sailing from Tampico but
Flelshman's friends believe he would
have kept away from that port, as
there are a number of Los Angeles
people living there and Fleishman was
we'll aware of this fact.

toms prophecy is a piece of rhyme which
was first printed about 1862. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Carriages without horses shall go
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the earth thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at the root of tree.
Through hills men shall ride,
And no horses be at his side.
Under water men shall walk.
Shall ride. shall sleep, shall talk,
In the air men shall be seen,
In black, in white, in green.
Iron in the water shall float,
AS easy as a wooden boat
Gold shall be found and shown,
In land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit a foe.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
This rhyme was published in an alleged
reprint of a chap book version and was in
cluded with about ten others, according
to Notes and Queries, in a book issued
by Charles Hindley of Brighton, Eng
land. For a number of years it was sup
posed by many that 1t was what it pur-
ported to be, namely, a prophecy uttered
by Mother Shipton in the first half of the
sixteenth century. Several persons how
