The theologians have discovered a prophecy of what has hap-
pened at Berlin in the eighth chapter of Zechariah, and the last verse :—" In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you : for we have heard that God is with you." The contention is that there are ten languages "of the nations " represented at Berlin,—being, we suppose, German, English, Russian, French, Italian, Turkish, Greek, Roumanian, Serb, and Magyar, though we fancy it would be easy, looking to the excessively composite nature of Austria, to make up more. Another slight difficulty as to the prophecy is, that in all probability the lead at the Congress has not by any means been Lord Beaconsfield's, and still less the motive for following his lead, so far as it was followed, that belief in the divine guidance of Lord Beaconsfield which is here suggested. But considering the difficulty of finding prophecies which have any sort of seeming reference to the modern con- ditions of things, the passage may be admitted to be curious, and the application found for it ingenious.
