A Curious Piophccy.
Topeka Press.
Over forty ) ears ago an old Ger
man hermit published in a Bavar
i in paper a cmious piophecy. In
i bo finotold tho Austrian-Russian
.ind tho Franco-Prussian wars, tho
death of Pope Pius and tho Turco
Knssian debate at arms. Ho said
t .nt Germany would have three
t npeiors before the end of the
c-ntnry, and indicated tho death of
two tTnited States presidents by
a'mtsination. All these things
tiavo come to pass.
.(n tho same articlo bo said that
tn the twentieth ccntnry opens,
.seismic distuibinces will
ace, wbieb will cauco tho

to giound in
(.continent
and millions and billions of dollars
worth of property will bo lost.
There is to bo a change in the
economic conditions of almost
eieij ciulized nation. Ho fore
tells tbo growth of -i demeciatic
spiiitin England, which will ro
suit in a reolution tint will over
throw the present t'otm of govern
ment, and make tho country a
republic. Ho says tbo last ruler
of England will be tho best the
country ev r bad, and tho first
president ot tho now nation will bo
one of the mal family. Queen
Victoria is by long oddo the best
ruler England has ever had, and
the Prince of Wales, said in a re
cent speech that it was his desiro
to live to eee England a republic.
Accoiding to the hermit, Russia,
Frauce and Italy will ferm an al
liance and enter into a war with
Turkey. This war is to bo the out
growth of Turkish persecution of
Christian subjects. This tripplo
alliance will conquer the domain
of the sick man of the cast. At tho
expiration of the war complications
will arise which will plunge Italy
and Prance into war with Russia.
Tho result will bo that tho two
countries will bo gobbled up by the
northern power and mil cease to
exist as innopendent nations.
While the wai is being waged tho
pope will moe tbo scat of Cath
olicism fiom Rome to boaotonn in
southern Ireland. A rebellion will
take placo id the land of the sham
rock, in which the country will
becoma independent of England,
Then aconllict will niiso between
tbo ultra Catholics of south Ire
land and the ultra protesemts of
the nogth, ih which the southern
ers will bo the victors. A Kingdom
will be cstablibed, and it is pre
dicted that tho reign of tho fust
potentato will become historic for
its tyianny.
Tbo prophet paints a dark fu
ture for tho United States. He
says at the oloso of the century a
leeling of uurest will srue tho peo
ple. This will bo tbo outgrow tb of
unequal social and economio con
ditions. Ho predicts that during
the administration of the twenty
fifth president the discontented
masses will bierk into open rebel
lion, and tbo established form of
government will bo oicrthrown.
The United States will be rent
asunder, und for a year or more
anaicby will prevail. When older
shall bo brought out of chaos, six
lepnblics will boformo.l. with Cap
itols at tho following cities: San
Francisco, Denver, Now Oileans

"Are you good at figures?" asked
Mr Bently of Mi Goves, who sat at

said Mr Groves.
"I bavo a littlo problem here.
Tako it down and see what j on can
