PROPHETS OP YESTERDAY.
Things of the Present Were Not Hidden
to Great Souls.
Literary antiquarians are finding
all kinds of prophecies covering
events of today, and some of them
are enough to awaken the spirit of
marvel in view of the remote contingency
as to the day of fulfillment.
For example, what could have put it
into the head of George Sand seventy-two
years ago that American
forces would ever occupy French
so|l? Mr. J. S. N. Davis sends to the
- New York Times this literary find:
"George Sand, in her novel, '.Mauprat,'
written in 1846, put into the
mouth of Bernard Mauprat, in about
the middle of the fifteenth chapter,
the following words:
"'In his (Macasse's) dreams he
used to see an army of victorious
Americans disembarking from numberless
ships, and bringing the olivebranch
of peace and the horn of
plenty to the French nation,' etc.
"Mauprat in his old age is telling
j the story of his life and was here
giving an account of himself and
friends, their doings and thinkings,
;t -.while in America, with Lafayette
fighting for American freedom.
"It would be hard to find a more '
literal fulfillment of any written expression."
Tennyson's "Locksley Hall" places
its author as a safer guesser in view
of the declared determination of science
to conquer the physical universe;
but the Catholic Citizen (Milwaukee)
thinks his vision of seventy
years ago an "almost uncanny forecast"
not only, of "the present world
.
upheaval, but even the instruments
of warfare developed in, its course,
and the result lo follow Armageddon."
It quotes this passage:
v. For I dipped into the future, as far
as human could see,
t . Saw the vision of the world, and all
> :' the wonder that would be;
i . Saw the heavens filled with commerce,
argosies of magic sails,
^ : Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping
down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting,
and there rain'd a ghastly
. . ? dew ,
From the nation's airy navies grappling
in the central blue;
Far along the world-wide whisper of
the south wind rushing warm,
m With the standards of the people
plunging through the .thunder
v storm;
?& '- Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer,
and the battle-flags were
- j furl'd?
, In the parliament of man, the Fed^
: eration of the World.
> The cue being given, another delver,
a writer to the New York Sun,
finds that in 1849 Victor Hugo, adTCt
^dressing the Peace Congress in Paris,
foreshadowed the "United States
of Europe." Mr. Isaac Markens
^Amrmatits hp.fnrft auotine the French
|jp? Poet that "German's subsequent
role in the history of nations, more
especially in the theft of Alsace-Lormine
in 1871 and her Draconian
policy of the past four years, leaves
^ no doubt of Hugo's attitude with respect
to Germany's representation in
i\':. y the proposed confederation, were he
living today." Hugo then said:
"A day will come when you,
France, you, Russia, you, Italy, you,
England, you, Germany, all you na^
tions of the continent, shall, without
* y V losing your distinctive qualities and
k'/ your glorious individualities,, blend
| in higher unity; and form a European
fraternity, even as Normandy,
v Brittany, Bergundy, Lorraine, Alsace,
all the French Provinces,
blended into France.
, "A day w^ill come when war will
seem as impossible between Paris
%and London, between Petersburg and
Berlin, as between Rouen and Ami'
ens, between Boston and Philadel&KP
Phia.
"A day will come when bullets
* and bombs shall be replaced by ballots,
by the universal suffrage of the
people, by the sacred arbitrament of
p, great sovereign senate, which shall
be to Europe what the parliament is
to England, what the diet is to Germany,
what the legislative assembly
is to France.
"A day will come when a cannon
shall be exhibited in our museums
as an instrument of torture is now,
and men shall marvel that such
things could be.
"A day will come when we shall
- see those imense groups, the United
States of America and the United
States of Europe, in face of each
* other, extending hand to hand bver
the ocean, exchanging their products,
their commerce, their industry, their
art; their genius clearing the colonizing
deserts, and ameliorating creation
under the eye of the Creator.
"And to you I appeal, French,
English, Germans, Russians, Slavs,
Europeans, Americans, what have
we to do to hasten the coming of
" . o r ^
that great aay: l.ovc uue auumw.
To love one another, in this immense
work of pacification, is the best way
of aiding God. For God wills that
this sublime will be accomplished."

20 YEARS FOR VICTOR BERGER.
To Carry the Fight to the Supreme
Court.
Chicago, 111., Feb. 20.?A maximum
sentence of twenty years in
Leavenworth prison was imposed by
Federal District Judge Landis today

likened themselves to history's greatest
martyrs. The five men, convicted
of conspiracy to obstruct the draft
in violation of the espionage act,
succeeded in obtaining release on
$25,000 bail from Federal Judge
Alschuler in circuit court, and declared
