Curious Confirmation of a Prophecy.

The war, writes our Frankfort correspondent, has its humorous as well as sad side, and before the times become too earnest I will give you a number of curious gleanings and anecdotes which have appeared in recent German papers. I bought for a kreutzer a few days ago a small printed sheet headed “ A Remarkable Prophecy,” in which the end of Napoleon is apparently foretold for the present year. I had seeu similar things before in relation to Napoleon, but will communicate it here: The following calculation (says the printed sheet) is of great importance now on account of the surprising results gained therefrom: Louis I’hlllppe was born 1773 His queen 1782 They were man fed .’....

All their protestations to the contrary only c inVinced him the more of the perfidy of the whole medical profession They had stolen his viscera, and’’didn't intend he should know anything about it. Under the circumstances it was, of course, useless lor him to eater drink,and ho steadily refused to do either. Food was administered to him while under the influence of ether, but he n jicctcd it immediately upon awaking. After lingering in this condition for nearly a month, he died the other day in a Salem hospital, bewailing his stolen vitals, and exeexating the thievish doctors In justice to the latter it should be added that the gentleman was laboring under a m’stale 1 1
