_ ENlToT THE "WORLD, j A V ' 1 1 PROGNOSTICATION OF DR. SETII PAN- 1 COAST, THE FAMOUS CAUALIST. i ? ; Three Centuries More?The Present Year . to he One of General Prosperity. i Dr. Setli Pancoast, of Philadelphia, is j prominent physician and author of t many works which have brought him . great repute, and he is regarded among scholars of the ocult sciences throughout the world as one of the highest authorities on cabalistic lore. He has recently < given his forecast of future events to the Philadelphia Times. Dr. Pancoast accepts the Trithcrnius cycle, in which the periods arc ;i;>4 years unci lour montlis each. In cabalism great stress is placed 1 upon the number seven. Just as there > are eeven harmonies in the universe con- i nected with all energy, so there arc seven 1 cycles which in the ever-recurring liar- ? mony of the universe have been con- i stantly repeating themselves back i through countless ages. Dr. Pancoast ' figures it out Scripturally and otherwise, i that we are now in the seventh and cul- 1 inination of the sories. c THK SEVEN CYCLES. ! ' The first cycle in the scries, accord- i ing to the system, is that of Orfiel, the f spirit of Saturn, which was a period of ( darkness, savagery and sanguinary in- t fluences, out of which physical humanity ^ grew strong through conflict. The t second is that of Anicl, the spirit of t Venus, which was a period of voluptu- I ousness, folly and debauchery, in which } poetry took its rise and races grew popu- r Jous. The third is that of Zaclieriel, r the angel of Jupiter, an epoch of wars j ana eniigntenment, in wiucft govern- j mcnt took its rise. The fourth is that l of Raphael, the arch-angel of Mercury, which was a time of industry and in- l telligence, in which science began and commerce prospered. The fifth is the j cycle of Samicl, the angel of Mars, mak- j ing an era of corruption, bloodshed and destruction. The sixth is that of G: - , briel, the so-called angel of the Moon, t an epoch of recuperation, growth and , building up of lost or weakened encr- j gies. The seventh cycle is that of Michael, the archangel of the Sun, making t an epoch of sociability, refinement, n great intelligence and wealth. All 11a tions have not ertcicd these cycles simultaneously, though there has not ^ been much variation. Parts of Europe, Dr. Pancoast thinks, are just passing ^ out of a past cyele. t IN THE CYCLIC OF MICHAEL. t In this country we are in the cycle of ' Michael, the cycle of the golden light- : giving sun, the epoch of wealth, en* lightenment and power, and have been in it since 187H. We will be in it one v hundred and seventy-seven years longer, ' he thinks, when the period of decadence will begin, and in the year 22:12 s the wheel will have gone round, the v circle be completed, and the evele of ! Orficl, which reigned four centuries be- ( fore Christ, will again be on and mark ( the general condition of the world. If v the regular succession of events went : on as tlioy have in the past there would ! be three hundred years hence a transi- j tion from sublime intelligence and mar- j. velous material prosperity to a condition of society bordering almost on bar- 1 barism, when people would relapse into savagery. But Dr. Pancoast does not ? think this is going to happen. He be- * lieves that canabalism and Scripture show that the present is the last revoln- 1 tion of the cycles, so far as this orb is n concerned, and that affairs here will, in 11 all probability, wind up about three centuries hence. ^ THE END OF THE WOULD IN 2232. c The completion of the current cycle *' of the sun in 2232 will be the culinina- v tion and will in all probability mark J1 the end of tin; \Vf>rl<l From rtr\w nntll li - - - , the year 2055 at least the world, Dr. ,J Pancoas>t says, will progress in the most " wonderful inventions, so that man will '.l have the secrets of the universe in his J grasp and attain a degree of intelligence that will comprehend much, if not all, of the plan of the physical universe and be able to avert or overcome most, if not all, the influences that 1 threaten his own comfort, welfare, or j existence. All mankind will advance wonderfully and rapidly in intelligence v and power, and the faculty for acquir- j ing wealth far.beyond anything the imagination can now conceive. Men will J not only be able to discover gold whereever it exists, but it will no longer have j the same value, for chemists will be able to produce it. It will be as common as iron. Ideas of value will altogetlier change and men will be able to ( administer to their wants without the * same amount of effort now required. Such in a general way, is the indication r of the bent of human affairs in the ex- r i6ting cycle for the approaching years . according to eabalism and Scripture, as interpreted by Dr. Pancoast. A VEItY PROSPEROUS YEAR. t "As to the year 1880," said Dr. Pan- I coast, looking up at a quaint time- 1 piece to see how the old year was slip- * v pin? away, "nothing is so clear as that it will be a year of great prosperity, c particularly in this country and especially to people who labor with their ( hands. A great many people are not * aware of the fact that is nevertheless A true that there has never been a time in ? the history of the world when the * laborer, the mechanic nml tli? tv?n? nn.i I woman who w rks in any occupation * were so comfortable, so well provided A for, so independent and so raised in s social status as they arc in this country 1 at the present moment. Never at any ' time in any country could a working- 1 man purchase *o much for his money. ' But the year 1880 will be a notable one 1 in even still more advancing the fortunes and welfare of the poor and in- ' dustrious nil over the woi Id, but especially in tlii? country. I A 'VAW IV HCROl'R. 1 "Labor will h* Signified more than < ever and b-? nio-e amply rewarded. Va- \ rious systems and plans will be devised and carried out by government and pri- i Wh>\ vntc cntfi'pri.ic, nil having the interests of the active, industrious class of the , population in view. It will be a year of exceptional business prosperity, in which . large fprtuneM will be. made. Possibly < the year will l>c marked by u great wAr i in Europe, though if so it will be followed by better prosperity. This country will ue the gainer by any bloodshed that may come to Europe. The time is not far distant when all international iillicultics will be settled without force, [n a word, industry and prosperity will jc the great characteristics of the year, which may be looked forward to with confidence and hope by every one who s now despondent or dissatisfied with he year that is past."

(|] bi The sccoml of a .series of discourses ^ on "The Marriage King" was preached ( by Pr. Talmage, on Sunday, and the subject was, "How to Choose a 11 us- : bund." | The text selected was Rutli, i., 1)? j "The Lord gruut you that ye may find rest, eacli of you, in the house of her ' husband." "This,'' said the Doctor, ! 11 * "is tlie prayer of pious Naomi. She j j\ was a good old soul and knew that the j '* devil would take their cause in hand if j " the Lord did not. She, therefore, i Pj prayed that the Lord might grant unto j ?1 each of her daughters-in-law rest m the \ J11 House ot the man that they might ulti- !11 mutely marry. I congratulate the fe- ll.1 lieity of those women who rather than marry and have an unhappy marital alliance have had none at all. There has Ul been no lack of opportunity, but they have preferred to live without a hus band rather than marry one of the many imbeciles that abound so plentifully in our cities. Men who are incapablcs, nonentities, they have seen, and they ol have determined that they will not ally -' themselves to one of them. They have ;u seen men also who during their courtship were angelic and after their marriage were diabolical, and therefore they UI kept back from marriage. A woman had better live a lonely life a thousand years than be annexed to one of the many vultures with which our modern society is infested. These women" in ^ their single blessedness are angels, and J'1 the coining to our households is of the morning and their going away is like 5' the coining of night." j^3 Dr. Talmage here described his "Aunt Ph<ebe" as one of these angelic women mid related a number of incidents from j-( the recollections of his own youth in Jn which "Aunt I'lurbe'' played a promi- j, uent and alTectionate part. cJ( "She had had," said the Doctor, so ^ many sicknesses, and had had thereby such a view of the next world that she was heavenly minded. She said to me w t>ne day, 4De Witt, twice in my life I j() liavc had such illuminating views of the tl, ? .1 T "?

If," continued the Doctor, "you want to know what Aunt Plurhe ? was in a sick room and a home ask any j >t the Tulmajrcs. Instead of being the pieen of one household she was a bene ;ii".tion to many. When she went out . L?f life what a shout, what, a benediction there must have been in heaven, from j the lower floor to the top step! There ^ will always be a large number of women ' who will never be married. Arithme- jj lie and mathematics show that that must L>e so. If you ask me why God has Lriven us more women than men I don't know that I have any answer, except that women seem to be favored of the Lord, and then, if you think of it, it is j Ti probably an arrangement of infinite wis- j doin, for y?.u may call to mind that I when woman was created it was as an | improved edition of man. j 1,1 "There is only one thing that can eor- i reet the disaster of an alliance with a j . bad husband, and that is a funeral.

A letter from Ann Arbor, Michigan, iys: A strange family reunion ami ramatic incident in the life of tlie Maynrys of this city, has just been given le finishing touch by the generosity of ongressman William C. Maybury. [any years ago Thomas Maybury was a oung artillery ollieer, in command of ic Tenth battery, New York Volun;ers. lie was the eldest son of Thomas aybury of Detroit, and a brothei of William ('. Mnybury. .The latter was t that time a lad at school. Tom was model oflicer. He was generally ked and considered a gallant soldier, lit. the campaigns of two years comIctcly broke him down and he was eared home a physical wreck. I)urin?r is absence his mother had died. In L?r place the oldest daughter had been istalled as head of the household. The ck soldier was nervous and irritable, nc day in the fall of 1800 he had been [insuaily irritable and declined to acjde to some household request made y the sister. The senior May bury's jncrous and kindly spirit was forgotten ?r the moment aiul he ordered his son ? leave the house and his home. Withit a word Tom 'eft, and for twenty ?ars no word was received from him, id the family mourned him as dead. The aged father was bowed down by rief. lie felt the approach of death, id called for William J. Craig, the ell known lawyer, to make his will. "ith tears in his eyes the old man told f how the favorite son had gone away jver to return. After bequeathing 100,000 of eity real estate to some iiughters, the will reeited that if liomas did not return within three jars after the testator's death to claim is share of the remainder of the estate, was all to go to William ('., the iungest son.

A gentleman well known in this cornunity was presented the other day itli a pet coon by :i countryman who lought he could not show his appreciaon of his city friend in a better way. he gentleman (the coon) was taken id once endowed with all the franchise tat an American citizen can possess in city home. He made himself at once jrfectly at home, and the lirst thing i did was to crawl up on the satinivered sofa and proceed to take a rap. he mistress of the house seeing this lnonstrated by taking the young iend by the chain that hung from his ick and lifting him off the sofa, the ton in the meantime turning round kc he lnul jumped from a llywhcel, id catching at everything in his reach itli all four feet at the same time. In is exit he got his hind leg around the ipport of an ornamental stand, and the ate lady, thinking he had hold of the ?fa, gave him a yank that almost idled his head off and brought down te table with a thirty-five dollar vase i it. The eoon seemed to take in the tuation with perfect coolness, and liile the lady was picking up the ieces, he walked leisurely out into the ill and disappeared in the cellar, bout an hour afterward the gentleman r the house came home, and after stening to the threats of hot water, :a kettles, etc.. from Mrs. , he included to hunt up the coon and arted on the search: but. the ennn where to he found. Finally, on issin?* by the pantry door, which had jen left open, and where a tub of atei stood that had Iften used in waslipt out the pantry, he espied the coon, it the coon had turned white. This jrplexed him. He called his wife, ho came at once, and the cause of the hitencss was soon explained.

This little village of 2.000 inhabitants, nestled amid the foot hills of the White Mountains, is sit iiri?si>nt turn t.n tin? fitrr> with a labor struggle ir. a most singular J aspect. The life of the town for thirteen ! years has been the bi^ shoe factory of 1J F. Spinney A: Co. It came to I>rii??4 prosperity to the villagers <lnrin<r the labor trouble in Lynn in 1872. A gobd many other Lynn (inns sent part of their business into exile at the same time, with the view of having two strings to their hows, by holdinir a shop at Lynn and matching it with one in thecountry. The country shops were usually built by the towns in which they were located, and were given, rent free, to tin; big firms, who occupied them under terms . which forbade the formation of labor unions among the operatives. So this factory came to Norway, and the village boys and irirls and the farmers' sons and daughters found profitable work within it, and all prospered together for full i ten years until the workers became experts and drifted away to bigger and better factories, where their skill brought better pay. In their stead came the professional shoemaker. lie brought trade unionism with him, but it took no shape for several years, for the villagers crushed all incipient movements. Finally the Lasters' Union sent out from its Lynn headquarters about, six months ago an order designed to drive all outside factories back to the shoe metropolis. It came to Norway, and the lasters formed aunion at midnight and made a demand for a raise. The company's lease had expired, and it at once declared that if ! it. must be governed by unions it were j better to have it done in Lynn than in ! Norwav. Thev cravi* notice to unit, wit.li j a promptitude that brought horror to | I the Norwegian mind. The villagers I j went on their knees to both the eorpor- : | ation and the lusters, offering even to | buy out all the latter if they would but vacate peaceably. The lasters refused to do so. Despair seized the people of ; the little town, and kept them in misery ! for two weeks or more until an imprudent Lynn luster said that when the factories were once all back in Lvnn the i union would finish its work by pushing I them to the wall until high wages were again obtained. This frightened the j manuiacturers, and the Messrs. Spinney I turned again to Norway, saying that il a shop were built of sullicient size they would desert Lynn at once and forever. The proposition was accepted, and a building that, will accomodate -100 hands I stands completed to-day ready for busi1 ness. The company exacted that labor unions be crushed out in the town, and | the town went to work to do it. livery ! man who had joined the lasters' little i band was thrown out of employment and i boycotted in every possible way. StoreI keepers declined to trust them, and \ gave their accounts to lawyers to collect j by the aid of a deputy sheriff, without a show of mercy. Many deserving fellows j sutiered with the malcontents. Each man who dared to speak against this cruel system was ostracized with the I rest. A Ivniirht of Labor named Adams, i who owned a store and restaurant, had I 1 the building he rented purchased by j I four local magnates, and was turned at | once out of doors, in an endeavor to i | drive him from the town. No man who I i said a good word for the lasters escaped. I I Even the local baker, an active youth j named Hines, is now having his loaves j : boycotted for too free expression of opinion. In the meantime the Knights of Labor have turned their attention to the town, i Master Workman Dutton and Massa- j i chusetts workmen have organized a ! 1 dire of a hundred or more and are la- I : boring to increase its ranks. No hall 1 could he hired for the purpose in the vil- i j lage, so they went instead to the "Lalsc." a suburb a mile or more away. I Queerly enough the farmers are joini inir with them. They fought the coming i of the shoe factory long ago. and were i beaten, but have never ceased to hate it. I . and now they lire getting even. Meet- J ' ings are held every night or two, and i the heat of both parties us rising fast. ! The bitterness of feeling exhibited all i j around is something amazing. Neigh- ; i bors are arrayed against neighbors and , there is more than enough tinder ready ! lor a blaze. Few places can produce such enthusiastic hatred as these New ! | England towns, and Norway by long practice, has won a place at the top in the list of combative communities. It lias fought destructive battles over re- ' liyion and polities; now it is trying j labor. There is more trouble ahead than peaceable people care to think about. I The new factory, thoivgh, is filling up with the peasantry. Each would-be worker signs an ironclad oath not to , join trades unions before he can go to I work, but the lasters bide their time.

THE COLORED ARISTOCRACY. ^ LrndrrN in WnMliiiiKt?ii Soririy, I'illitrH lit ChurrlirM, .>1 ukhIumn. mill ArllftH. There is an aristocracy among (he colored people of Washington as well asamong the white, says a local letter, and it is quite as exclusive. The forcus or i ...i.:..i. ?iw. ..1 aiuilllll ? lilt ii uiv III^II-IUIIVU colored society revolves is (ho Fifteenth Presbyterian Church, which stands in an aristocratic section of the city?MePherson square. The leading men in this church are ex-Senator Bruce. Dr. l'urvis, John M. Langston. late .Minister to llayti. who has recently been elected President of a colored college in Virginia; Prof. Greener, who is now in New York in charge of tin; Grant monument fund; the- Wonnleys. who are proprietors of the most aristocratic hotel here; George Cook, the Superintendent of Colored Schools; .lolin F. Cook the Collector of Taxes of the District, and others of the crcme de la cretnc. The pastor of this church is the Kev. Mr. Grinkc, a young man of about 155 years, who was graduated at Lincoln I'niversity with the valedictory of his class, and studied theology at Princeton. Congressman O'llara of North Carolina is a member of the coteris, but singularly enough he and his wife are Catholics, and attend St. Airustine's Church. Mrs. O'llara is one of the loveliest ladies in Washington, and were it not for the slight trace of negro blood in her veins she would be a leader in white society. J.ike Mrs. Bruce who is also, beautiful, she is a highly educated and accomplished woman, speaks French, plays Beethoven, paints plaques, and is up in art mid literature to a degree that would make souse of her white sisters blush for envy. Both Mrs. Bruce and Mrs. O'Hara are very nearly white, and ie would be difficult for a stranger to detect their relation to the African race. Mrs. O'Hara has a white governess for her children, and intends that they shall be as accomplished as herself These people have their own society, give balls, dinnerparties, receptions and other entertainments, and pay formal visits on regular receptions days, just like the ladies of official life. At a "high tea" or a bail given by this circle of the colored aristocracy one can find I (|uite as much intelligence, quite ad much beauty, and quite :iK much gracrf of manner as will be gathered at any of the swell receptions of white folks. IJntli gentlemen and ladies appear in ij full evening dress, and the costumes of the ladies are duly described in the ShikIk-y /.Vr, the organ of the high-toned colored residents of the District. i Sorrows of a Base Ball Club Manager. llenry Lucas says: 1 think that base \ ball business is the meanest profession on the face of the earth. 1 don't mean the players, but the running and management of a club. It is an awful pull on a man, and is enough to turn his hair gray aft'.'r he has been a year at the business. You are always in hot water. You don't more than get one thing lixedi up, and think that everything is lovely and prospects for smooth sailing, whenthe first, thing you know some manager Avill make a grand kick that can be felfc v all the way from Boston to St. bonis, and then away goes all your plans, and! before you know it you are flat on your back. Oli, yes, it is a fine occupation for a man who wants to train himself for the insane asylum. Some people have an idea that it is a regular picnic to run a base bull club, but six months 1 or a year woulil slightly change their \ opinions. I think. Base ball managers, as a rule, are kickers from the word ''go." If they are not when they first ?T<) into the business, it won't t*>ke them long t ?learn it. The cause ( Why, the simplest in the world. The first to jump on you are the players, and they keep it up during the whole season. They tjuarrcl abc.t this and that, an<? if you say anything tothem they get mad and won't play. Then there are kickeis all around you. The manager of the team th?t you arc playing with wants to sit on you, and every man with whom you have jpeak ing acquaintance, n?> matter where he meets you, will want to know why you didn't do this and why y.u didn't no that. Then, again, if one of your players makes a pooi play occasionally, every one greets you with, "That was an awful bad break that so-anu-no made,"and "Why don't you lire him?" Then, again, you will lind persons who want to run the club for you and say: "If 1 were you, I would pat such a player at third; he can't pitch at all, and this f cl ler and that catcher should have other positions." At the end the base ball season you can imagine hat it is to ran a base ball team and hat you have to go through with. "NY. it is simply enough to make a man . ild, and the only thing that surprises me is that base ball managers live as long asthey do. A Hudson River Packet.
