| dSo, is reprinted In the LONDON news
papers from the London Daily Call of
October 90.
The origin of this amazing docu-
ment is not very clear, but the manu-
script, in Latin, was found among the
papers of the late Odrien Peladen,
author of a work on PROPHECIES"
and the editor of a review, 1.-The An
| nails of the Supernatural" 1t was
found by his son, who had it trans
lated into French, and it was publish
| ed in the Figaro"
According to the son, M. Peladen
came into possession of the manu-
script through a monk Of Saint-Mich-
ael de Frigolet, near Tarascon, who,
in turn, received it from Able Donat,
learned priest, who died at a very
great age.

1. Several times has one seemed
to recognize him. because all the
slayers of the Lamb resemble each
other, and all the wicked are the
! prosecutors Of officers, and princes
will receive burial, for to the carnage
caused by firearms will be added those
who perished by famine and plague.

be one of the monarchs Of his time,

arm of the Most High, chastising cor
rupted people
4. He will have only one arm, but
his innumerable armies, who will take
as their motto. "God is with u.s." will
seem like Internal legions.
s. For a long time he will act by
ruse and treason; his spies will spread
over all the earth; and he will be the
master of the secrets Of those in pow
| er.
6. He will have theologians in his
pay to certify and prove his celestial
mission.
Z. A war will furnish him with the
reason for lifting the mask. 1t will
not be one which he will make against
the French monarch, but another
which will be easily recognized by the
fact that in two weeks time it will
have become universal.
