The following from the Frederick Examiner,

readers. Beyond the circle of scientific enquiry
SO little attention is paid to chronological exact
ness that many intelligent persons will be glad
Of even a short account and explanation given
Of the term bisscxtilc:
In reforming the computation Of time, Julius
Caesar ordained that the year, should consist Of
365 days, except every fourth year, which
should consist Of 500 days. the additional day
to be rcckoncd by twice counting the Gath OF
February, which was the sixth calcnd OF March.
Hence the name from the latin words, biS, twice,
and ,ex,ilis, sixth The calcnds. (whence
were reckoncd backwards to the ides, thus the
first day of March the first caena; the
y8th Of February was the second calcnd OF
March February o7th the third, and no.
The Julian year. which by this rule was rcck-
oucd at 365 DAYS and hours, was found not to
hc accurate. but to exceed the length of the
solar wear, by II minutes. which, in 13l years,
amount an entire day. 1t was, therefore, cor
rected by Pope Gregory, IN l532, who retrench-
ed II days from the Julian omputation-bclng
its excess or grain over the solar time. Out Of
this correction grew the distinction between the
old and new style. The Grcgoran or new style
was introduced into Germany in l77O. and. by
act Of Parliament, into England III l752-JuSt

though the name BisscNtile is retained with its
obsolete import, we intercalate the Goth of
February every fourth year for leap year and,
for still greater accuracy, make only one leap
wear out of every four centenary years, that is
the wears 100 and 1900 were not leap years,
nor will A. II. 1900 be rcckoned AS one, but the

The question is asked s'who is Cneas, to
whom kossuth, in his speech at the banquet
given him at Washington likens himself?''
Cineas is chroncle as a learned Thes-
salan. the frienl and minister of Pvrrhus
King of Epirus. He was the most eloquent
man of his day, reminding his hearers of De-
mosthenes. Pyrrhus priced his persuasive
powers so highly. that he was wont to say, "the
words of Cineas had won him more cities than
his own arms He was sent as ambassador
to Rome, with proposals for treaty of peace
from Pyrrhus, after the battle of Herculea. in
the year 2so, B. c., and Cineas spared neither
arts nor eloquence TO gain favor AMI carry his
point. His memory was so remarkable. that
on the day after his arrival at Rome he was
able to address every Senator and Knight BY
name. The Senate, however, rejected his pro-
posals. mainly through the dying appeals OF
the venerable Appius Clauius Ccecus. Cneas
subsequently, returned to Pyrrhus, and told him
that there were no people like the Roman peo-
ple-their city was temple; and their Sena-
tors an assembly of Kings.

Dr. Bird's Report Om Religion i'm the
United States.

From this paper it appears that the last thirty
six wears have constituted the most prosperous
era Of our religious history. In this period. the
last licament which united the Church and the
State was sundered-in Connecticut, in 1916:
in Massachusetts, in 1888.
The oldest branch of the Prot'nt Church in
this country is the Protestant Episcopal. Its
history begins in 1907, with the colonlznG of
Virginia The Congregational branch of the
Church comes next in order of time. and it is
also rapidly augmenting i'll wealth and numbers
The Baptist branch Of the Church is the third
in order Of time. In the last sixty years. the
Baptists have increased their Churches ten-fold
their members more than thirteen fold and their
ministers ninc-fold.
The Presbytcrians come next. The first
ministers came from Scotland and the North of
Ireland.
The last, in order Of time, of the larger rel-
cious bodies that have arisen. is the Methodist
Church. 1t was organized in 1894, and in
1900 had &C, 900 members. Its subsequent in
crease has been immense.
In addition to the above large denominations,
there is group Of churches, ten in number.
which, with few exceptions. the German
language. To these. not before computed, must
be added 500 congregations. or Meetings Of
the Society Of Friends" whose numbers do not
exhibit very perceptible increase.
The Roman Catholic Church comes next in
order, with 4 archbishops, 80 bishops. 1.o7S
churches, l,Osl priests. and a population of
1,5OO.O0O.
The Unitarians. with about 800 churches,
ESQ ministers and sc, 600 members; the Chris
tians. with 800 churches, as many ministers.
and $50, 600 members: the Universalists. with
$40 preachers. $50 churches, and 875 societies;
the Swedenborgians, with about 40 small
churches, IS ministers, and 10000 members,
and some German Lutheran churches that are
Socinian, - are portions Of the Friends.

LIBERIA.

The fact that the American Colonization Society
intended sending out It's colored emigrants in YES
sell which was to leave Norfolk (Va.) on the 4th
instant, being announced, the number of appli-
cants has increased until there are $50, Of whom
the largest portion from Virginia, the rest be-
ing from North and South Carolina. One hundred
The company, having actually promised passages
to as many as $50, is now preparing to send out
two vessels, one of which will leave Norfolk or
about the 18th inst, and the other Wilmington
IN. c. about the Goth. Upon these facts the
Philadelphia American remarks as follows:
"This excess of emigrants over the number re-
quired is noteworthy evidence of what we have
before remarked, that the colored people of our
country are much more disposedt to emigrate than
they we1e some years since. Every vessel which
has been announced as ready to take emigrants to
the new republic has found more than her COM
plement of passengers, and there can be no doubt
that the facilities for emigration greater than
they al present, the number of the free color
ed people desiring to go TO Liberia would be found
amply sufficient to occupy them all. 1t cannot be
long before such opportunities will be afforded at
most the large seaport cities, not merely through
the aid of colonization society, but by the entrance
into the field of private commercial enterprise
The society have not now the means adequate to
the performance of their task, but no doubt the
general desire entertained by the American people
to aid that unfortunate race in their exodus to the
land of their forefathers will prompt them to con-
tribute freely from that abundance which prospect
ty has showered upon our people.
"The opinion is becoming every day more wide
ly difused among the free colored race in America
that the republic established by their kindred on
the western coast of Africa is as free, peaceful,
secure, and happy as our own, and that it is gov
erned by public policy which is wise, enlightened
and promotive OF prosperity. From their friends
and acquaintance who have gone there they hear
constantly, by letter. the1nost favorable accounts
of the land, and the prospect which there awaits
the emigrant. With these inducements before
them it is not surprising that they DESTROYS of
leaving land where they must always be an infe-
rior race, to go where they will be equal with all,
and endowed with all the rights of freemen and
cIzizens.
"At the North, where colonization has for many
years encountered the most strenuous opposition,
spirit of inquiry has been aroused among the col
ored people who opposed it, and they have held
meetings in various places for the purpose of TAX
ing the matter into serious consideration. Insome
cities societies have been formed among them to
emisrate to Liberia; and one of these, atN. York,
has sent out an agent to examine the country and
make report. rs.esl5-s

Western Railroads.

The rapid completion of the various lines of
railroad in progress Of construction in the Western
Satesis bringing daily nearer, in point of time,
tothose cities and counties OF the far West which
but afew years since seemed remote from
California itself now appears to be. We find in
the Dayton Journal the following particulars re-
speeding the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton
Railroad, Of the best constructed lines in the
State of Ohio: r,y .-.4.aIfe- .af.
From the character of the country through which
this road is located-from its secured connexions
with all the roads leading into Indiana and to the
north and east of Dayton-we are firm in the con-
vi:tion that the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Day.
ton Railroad will be one of the most useful and
profitable loads of the country, at least for the bal
.ance of the present century. No rival road can
be built to materially afectits business, prevent
good dividends to its stockholders.
We learn that the business on the road is rapid
lyincreasing, the last months earnings being dou-
BILE those of the first month of the year. The
number of passengers carried over the road, seven
eighths of whom are local, have averaged one
thousand per day for the last two months. Six
hundred per day was high. than the sanguine an
ticpated during the first year. The local freghts
are also increasing, and at better prices since an
amicable understanding "as had between the
Board of Public Works and the President OF the
road. ~
In less than sixty days the connexion at Union
will be formed with the Indianapolis and Belle
fountaine Road, when Cincinnati and Dayton will
be in uninterrupted railway communication with
Indianapolis, Terre Haute, and Lafayette, and
then a. passenger may breakfast at one extreme
point and sup at the other.
We are also informed that in about two weeks
the road from Toleda to Bellvue, on the Mad Riy-
eIroad, will be completed, so that Cincinnati and
Dayton will then be connected by continuous rail
way with Toleda and Chicago From these two
connexions we may anticipate large accession
of tIayel over the Cincinnati. Hamilton, and Day.
ton Road. Nd -l -.g -ia r.l ii-nA
We understand that by early spring the Mad
River and Lake Erie Road. in connection with the
Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton Road, will be
in position to command a full share of the
through travel of the East. The rail is now nea1-
ly all laid on the named road, and by spring
will be well ballasted and in fine condition for
speed and comfort. The boats building to run in
connexion will be superior 10 any heretofore on
the lake, and are now constructing with n view
10 the greatest safety, comfort, and speed. BY
spring the ke-Shore Road, from Sandusky to
Cleveland. will also be completed.
