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."

[From the Cincinnati Enquirer. J
"Well, now, you had better believe I

'Why, I knew the time about Austin

Uolt revolver that he pulled from an

"Thompson was a great shot, wasn't

"Umph! a groat shot ? The greatest

ow, as strong as a lion, and as <]uick as 1

nakc the heart of the average man sick

4'Did you ever witness nny of his j

"Several. I remember one time
hree fellows came down to San Anonio
from El Paso. They were as
ough as they make them, and had not

icard of Hen, and wanted to find him.
Sen also heard of them, and thought he
vould have a little fun at their extense.
"What do you think Ben did ?
iVhy, he just went home, dressed himelf
up for all the world just like a dude,
vith yellow kid gloves and carried a .
latty gold-headed cane, and sported a I
lude ?flass in one eye. Then he went to \
>ne of the great public resorts and j
suited for his men. lie did not have j
o linger very long. Just as he was lean- j
ng over the bar, sipping a claret punch, :
n the mirror in front of him he saw the
hree men entering the saloon. He afectcd
the air of a dude more than ever,
mil in a moment they were onto him.
)ne of them gave him a tremendous
vhack on the baek, and another, puling
his revolver, ordered Thompson to
lance. Quick as a flash Thompson
urncd about with a gun in each hand,

HOW TO CHOOSE A II(7KBAND.
Woman's SpUcro, Her ItiulitM, Iler Wronus ' s;i
unci IIvr OiitiCN. (|]
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 "? " " * ~ ~ '
iovc 01 me i>ora .icsus Uhrist that 1 have "
fainted away, and it was with ditHculty ^
that I recovered. People need not tell
me that there is no heaven; I have seen ftl
it twice.' 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. The , J1,'
police courts of tin? world cannot correct I
the evil. A mistake once made about u.r
marriage is made forever. Avoid a
time alliance with a man who despises 11
the Christian religion. IScware of such a ]>(
man, for you will surely have a life
of wretchedness. Such a man will put
your home under the anathema of the
Lord God Almighty. It may possibly
not be necessary that he should be a
child of God. but it is necessary that he j n<
should not be a dcspisir of the Chris- *7
tian religion. If you arc engaged to
such a one your first duty is to break 111
the engagement. My words may come
( r"? von iiixt. in timo tit (invo vamp unnl
" ?' J """ "** v> * "* ^ J ** V ' n| 1
Marry hi 111 and yon will probably both .
go to hell together. ir
' Next, I charge yon not marry a man sc
of evil habits with the idea that yon j1.1
can reform him. If you don't reform
him before he gets the prize yon will ?!
not do it afterward. You might as well SI
plant a violet in the face of the north- A\
east wind.
"I also charge you to avoid a lifelong ^
alliance with a man who is so much occupied
in business that he has no room jj,
in his life for anything, else. Some- tc
times you will find a man who so spreads
himself over the sidewalk of life that gt
there is no room for any one else. He n<
is of th.it class of men who have a disposition
and a nature that is a protest jJ(
against marriage. Marry such a man w
and it would be a case of bigamy. There jn
are thousands of women at this moment ^
on the way to such slaughter.
"Avoid alliance with any one who *,
proposes marriage through newspaper w
advertisements. ^An audible titter.) cc
Some women answer such advertise- AV
ments for fun. Put arsenic into a cup jn
and swa low it first before you do that, rt,
for you would do yourself less harm.
Most of the men who insert such advertiscincnts
are moral lepers. If a man tv
has wealth of soul he is better for vou ^
than if he had a fortune of thousands.
"If you find a man who has never ^)}
made any mistakes, who is perfect, who cc
is immaculate, don't marry him. It w
would be a swindle for you to do it. ftl
Why you would unite yourself to perfection.

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. The date of the will
as February 10, 1882. The day beire

om tlie driver that Thomas Mayburv
as dead, the stronger, who was the
ng lost son. was deeply affected by
ic news, lie was driven to the Con essman's
house. IIis sister opened
ic door to him and fainted away. The
union with the family was affecting

Tom returned exactly forty days after
is inheritance had passed from him,
it he did not care. He had gone

M.'ds from the Congressman to his

id once endowed with all the franchise
tat an American citizen can possess in

lnonstrated by taking the young

BOYCOTTING A L ASTERS' UNION
A Singular ConlPNt Now ITmlrr Way In n .
Hinull illuin*' VilliiK*'.
A letter from Norway, Me., Hays:?
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.
A Lawyer Ha (lieu.

I said Lawyer Gouge to Sam .lonnsing.
44Yes, Sah."
"Now repeat precisely what he said,
using his own words." i
''He said he would get me 0 if I?" |
"He can't have used those words. lie |
didn't speak as a third person." j
"No, sah, he took good keer dat dar |
was no third person present. Dar was j
only us two. I)c 'fondant am too smart

"I know that well enough; but he ]

he?" |
! "I wus de fust nusson mvself."
"You don't understand me. When he !
I was talking to you did he use the words,

"No, boss; lie didn't, say nuffln' about

THE COLORED ARISTOCRACY. ^

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

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.
