On the 27th ol Ajwil, the Director* ot toe West Jersey R. R., at a meeting held at the Penna. R. R. offices, Philadelphia, decided by resolution to enter into arrangements with Mr. Landis by which the Pleasure Railroad wdl Inimmediately built from the Excursion House to Ton ••send* Inlet. This will , give access by Railroad to one or the fin tat fishing and sailing grounds upon the New Jnr>ey coast, and, beside*, f ires great impulse to tlis growth of Hea Isle City. It was also decided that after this part is built, to continue the same puid North of the Excursion House to Ct>r*on'» Inlet) thus giving rapid transit from one end of the Island to the other. Mr. landis also agreed to build, or hare built, a hotel at the end uf thi-R-iad at T«»wn*end* Inlet. Paoic Arm to Pumtt.— The iicr. Robert OoUrer told a congregation, ** Springfield, Mam., how he had made bie way fp«n the anvil to the pnlnik Fifty ▼••art ago he waa a child in Yorkshire, ^England, with nnletti red but induatriou* parents, who put him at the trade of blscksmithing. He worked eight rear* with an employer who died of drink, and he thinks that it waa only a lore of reading which saved him from the same fate. His first preaching waa aa a Methodist exhorter, and for the first ten rears of his ministration his income from that source averaged seoanty-fivo ocnts a year, his firing being earned aa a blacksmith. He dame to Amerioa with hia bride in 1850, and during the panio of 1867 he carried a hod for awhilaL Twenty yean ago he became a salaried preacher, going over from tba Methodists to the Unitarians. Geu. Caster *i Hat. Vn Coster has presented to Ouster Post, O. A. R, of Chicago, a hat ocjoe worn by Gen. Custer. She has recently been made an honorary member of the post In sending the hat she wrote: "Since bearing from yon and from Mr. Leu man Hudson last year how much you all prise the red necktie, and bow prompt yon were to adopt it as part of your uniform, I hsvc sent In my Michigan home fur ooe of Gen. Ousters large hats that be wore in many a charge during the war. I think it no leas a part of the costume that became especially identified with him than waa tba red tie. He waa the find officer on our aide who wove the liroad-hrimmed hat for campaigning, and he abo first adopted the bine flannel shirt with tba broad collar— having brought one early in tha. war from a gunboat on the James Rivet XOT 1SSS, BUT t8S*. There have been lor centuries doubts as to the correct neaa of the aoo*pted calculation of the Christian era. Rome learned historians cannot agree whether Christ wa» born in the year 747, 740, or 7M, counting faxu the foundation of R-»me. Recently Prof. Rattler of Mu nich baa published an eaaay in which he trice to reconcile the testimony of the Krangrli*!* with the other historical data on this point. He haa examined four copper coins, newly discovered. which warn struck in the rrign llcrod Antip.is, one of the "On* ot Her od tha Great, and he eota»-* to the con cluoon that Christ Was bom not 7M, tail 74®, years after the fbnndation of Home, and therefore thst tha preeeot year ia 1K88 innlead of lfW3. This opinion the Professor tries to oorvotmrata by the testimony of the KraagwlWs, Aeeonlinf to fk Matthew, Je*m was horn Inward the end of the reign of

- - — - — — ID-rod the Great, and when (list king ' dual Je*ui was get a little child. Ac cording to St. Luke, Jesus was bom in the year in which, by virtue of a decree of Augustus Csasar; Oyrmius, Governor of Hyria, uisde the first census of Judea. Again, St. Luks savs thst St. John began to baptise in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius ( aaar, and in that yasr luplisrd Joai*, who was then 30 year* of age. As to the first testimony there can he no mi»under»tanding. Christ, loing born in 749, was of couivc yet a babe in 750, when llrmd died. But the oilier testimony needs sorue explanation. From the "Braviart urn Imperii" (Census to the Empire) which was added to the will of Augustus Caur, it is evident thwt a thorough uOWaa* of the countri**# that ooaifinard the Roman empire niu«t have l»een made. In fact, Augustus had three censuses of his poneraaiouF made, namely, iu 726. 746. and 766. As 8t. Luke say* that in Judea the first ceusu* wa* made during the reign of lined, the cen«u* must have been ordered in 746. Prohahlv t lie census was liegun in Ju ilea in 747, and Prof. Saltier thinks it was r.ot m ole in Jerusalem earlier than 749. He finds that the four coin* enable him to make clear the testimony of the Evangelist as to the fifteenth year of the reign of Titwriu*. T hough Augustus died on Auk- l®» 767, vet the beginning of the reign of Til*erius mud be counted a year and a lia.f earlier (February, 766,)wben he was appointed no-regnent» Therefore the fifteenth year of the cei^n of Tiberius falls in 780, when St. John haptiied Ji-su*, who was then aland 30 year* of are. An Evangelist say* that Christ began preach furtv -six year* alter the u>tn pie at Jerusalem waa built by Herod. Now, it ia knnwii that thebuildingof the temple wa* begun eighteen year* after Her<»d was appointed hy tba Human Senate as regent of Judea, or in the year 734. from the foundation of Rome. Adding 46 to that year, it givas 780 as • ha vear in which Chrial began to preach. If all these calculations of Prof. Saltier are correct, then the (liriuim era began five year* esrlier lb*n i* usually «inu»nse<l, makintf tha current year 1888 instead of 1883. ••#.« Burial o/ a Chicago Dog.
