The Prophesies of Zadkiel.

MThe explosion in the Czar’s palace and the recent accident to the Princess Louise bring to the fore our old gray-beared sage, the astrologer Zadkiel, who in his almanac for 1830, noticed at sume length in the “World” last December, uttered this re- markable warning as to the outlook for the current month of February: *‘The third | week of this mouth brings Mars over the | Sscendant of a great personage and over the | place of the sun at the birth of a certain | Princess ; care should, therefore, be ex-| ercised in travelling.” Now observe what! happened! Tho Princess Louise, while | travelling in her sleigh, was injured upon | theeve of this third week. The Crown Prince of Germany, who is travelling now in Italy, had better be careful, too, for)

lsmarck has just announced that Ger- | Many sides with Austria on the Italian} Question, and Zadkiel thus prognosticates :

‘Mars afflicts a certain German prince this : month.”

A private telegram from Tiflis reports that Persia is actively assembling troops, and trusiwort: information is received that a Persian army will march on Herat.

A sense of insecurity is observable in every directioi here, and while there is great fear thar semething will happen be fore the anniversay of ihe »Kinperor’s ac- cession, there is also a settled idea which is destined probably to be disappointed, that the Czar will proclaim something new on that occasion.

étak' = From the Christian Union, Angust 22, ,1877 Ever since Dr. Wm. M. Giles, of 120 West 3roadwzy, N. Y., extended a frank invitation to owne’s ef lame horses, to bring their equine property round to his place of basimess for free tre: tment, the corner of White street and West Boadway has come to resemble a horse fair. ‘She doctor’s bold defence which, is thus thrust upon the curious attention of his neighbors, is based on his earnest belief in his leodide Ammonia Liniment, which is now preferred to all others by the chief stock raisers ind sporting men of this country, A va uable horse of the writer's was kicked | on the hock. Swelling and lameness engued, | renderiag the animai nearly worthless.

We twere alvised to try GHes’ Liniment, and we) are gratified to say it acted like a charm. | About =wo inches of the bone came away, the} sore healed up, and the lameness and swelling | are fas) disappearing. Henry Warp BRacuer, } Pd itore
