There has not been a century, probbly,. 1
since the beginning- f our eta, which I
*ha* not witnessed the rise and the lull
of one or more'of the tribe, in the
prc.cut century they seem to be rather
more tiu'merons than tJiey have ever
‘been before. w*e have had dee Smith

British army, tin officer of the royal
Boiubuy engineers, who has just pub>-
lulled' ’* book of piopheeies, in Vv.hicli
lie has told’ the k day and the ‘hour” of.
the final- destruction'.of things,.and the
chief event's that arc fc. prcccde.it. It
’is fixed for the’ hour of sunset,'.out the
20th of’ .September, 1878 —just, thir
teen years from to-day. ’ Here are the
dates of some preceding even's:
(Jfn th 1 9th of October, ISG7 Queen
\ iotijria will retire, and the Prince of
Wales be made Prince Regent. •
In 1860 and ‘7O Austria will seize
G reece and some minor German. Stales,
and Russia will seize on Turkey.
Oil the 27th of October, 1871, Rus
sia and Austria will con bine to make
war. o:l France: and ou the same day,
perhaps, Napoleon will sign ‘a-covenant
with the Jews.
On the 3d of June, 1872, the Empe
ror of llusia wi.l be killed in Palestine,
on the field of battle, and. Napoleon
will he com ■ supreme monarch, a 1 the
kingdoms of the old Homan earth fall
ing to him, Britain excepted
On the 10th of March, 1875, the
Jews will be restored to Jerusalem
and the Holy Land.
On-the 9th of April, 1875, Anti-
Christ -t who is explained as Napoleon
111) will appear and be fully revealed.
About the Ist of SeptemLer, 1876,
the sign of the Son of Man will appear
in the heavens; and at sunset, as we
have said, on the 20th of September,
1878, Christ will be seen decending on
Mount Olivet'.
Captain Baker professes to have dis
covered two most important events
which are to occur in quick suceesion
after the power of Napoleon is consol
idated, but before his apperance as,
Anti-Christ: Ist. The resurrection of
the just, immediately on the expiration
of the six thousand years of the world,
which, according to bis chronology,
will be December 6, 1874. This will
be invisible to the living, he thinks,
and naively remarks, “I, therefore, do
not expect my opinion can ever be
proved right, nor can it ever be proved
wrong.” 2d. The translat.on of the
saints from earth to heaven, which is
: to take some little time before dawn
on the 25th of January, 1875. This,
like the resurection, will be also in
-1 visible, “and” therefore,” says the
| Captain, we shall’ never now in’ this
• life whether • such is precisely the case
.or not. ’. On the principle .of the old
adage that “geeiog is believing,” the
learned author is not likely -to make*
many converts. ‘ .- ’ •

The composition of Die next home of

of.much speculation Udder the apt of •
congress of May 23, IKJO, th i number'of
representatives was .establisliod at 233,
which number was apportioned among tli.e
several States n 1802 upon a basis of 124,
183, population. .An additional metnbin
for fractious was given by congress the
same year to each of the States of Illinois,
lowa, Minesota, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsyl
vania, Rhode Island and Vermont, thus in
creasing the number to 24R The pvesent
apportionment will stall'd until the 3d. of
March 1873. An exchange newspaper
says,- *

the colonel, who was still marching U p

new companion that lie'was in seare.h
of this Mosby. and asked if he
litxd heard anythig of him..
• Tilt captain had heard and knew to
a certjfuty tlmt an hour ‘before. Mosby
had been at Jo'ne’s; four miles up tiie
roach -Visions of promotion and news*-
paper paragraphs dancing before him
the colonel ordered ■ him “trot march, .
while. Hie’ captain,’ with .his orderly,
dashed aeposs a field to a farm house
to get some milk, lie said, before re
turning to ca-uip. Arrived at Jones's,
the colonel iouud that Mcsby bad in
deed been there, but also found that
he had departed in the direction of
Burnside’s camps. Back the colonel
beat in haste, making enquiries every*
where, but. finding no trace. Arrived
again at the bouse from which the
communicative captain bad appeared,
the woman accosted him, and this col
loquy ensued: .
Woman : Kurnel, who who was that
ere Yank capting met ye here as ye
was gwine tothcr way ‘(
Colonel : I dont know his name, but
lie belonged to a Massachusetts regi*
me lit.
Woman : Yeas, well now ain’t you
sold ‘! that air was John Mosby.
Colonel: ll- ’■
And he rode back to camp and said
nothing whatever about his morning’s
work, except to report that lie had
net captured him. Some ol his men
did, however, and that story doated
about the army during the rest of the
war.
Many such things as this are told of
Mosby, and his power for mischief was
so sensibly felt in the \ alley last sum
mer and autumn, that Phil. Sheridan
used to pwear.at him in his most, hear
ty style.. .Mosby -now is a citizen of
the United States no better and no
worse than the thousands of other Vir.
giniaus who have laid down their arms.
