As your columns are open to biblical and
historical investigation, wish to offer a
few facts relative to the date Of the birth
Of Christ, The Sixty.nine prophetic weeks
Of Daniel were to run 10 the first advent Of
Christ, or to his birth, as the angel then
said: To-day Is born unto you q Savior,
which Is Christ" There Is reason 10 be.
lieye that these weeks commenced on the
10Th day of the jth Jewish month b. g.
1883, which would end them on the 18th
day OF August d. G. 5. Paul says: "When
the inllncss Of the time was come THAT Is,
the 80 weeks) GUd sent forth his Son,
made u woman" sc. Gal. ": 1. The
true Christmas, or birth OF Christ, was
therefore August II, D. q. 8, instead Of
December q, as 80 many affirm. The
sheep were still out at pasture ut the time,
Luke .: s, aud they we're always taken
to their shelter in that country about
the time Of the fall equinox, so
the claim for December % Is both without
proof aud contrary TO facts. Further
more, Christ was a6Ont 30 years old OF his
baptism luke III: 23), which was in the
10Th year Of Tiberius full reign, a. d. 20
Luke III: y, from which by measuring
back 50 years We reach B. q. for his
birth, remembering that in crossing the
Christian era B. q. and A. D. ! are only
two parts oil one year, instead Of being
two whole years. This allows him to be
born before Herod died, which occurred
b. G. 1, and makes him 20 In A. D. 90.
Also his death was on the 9th Of April, A..
$50, on Thursday, the fourth Passover
after his baptism. The above facts are
confirmed by scripture, history and as
trOnOmy, though only glanced at here. II
any Of the readers Of your paper think ME
mistaken about tho time Of Christmas, an
error brought into the church with others
ola similar nature) by Catholic Tradition,
thus making void the word Of God, please
call, and We will examine the sub eCt 10
the satisfaction Of oil who love truth
better than tradition and error on this and
other things. H.. NJ.

f1c Germans Opposed 10 Third Torn.
lie Washington correspondent Of the
New YorS Herald expresses the substance
OF series Of intsrYlews with Western Re-
puJiI,aas on the question Of the Grant
candidacy in the following:
What Mr., Smith says about the German
voleri ii Ohio is well established here
from o'ler aud independent sources, and
it IS "ghin your correspondents certain
knowledge that il is true also Of the Ger
man l1ipubicang Of Wisconsin. Illinois,
Minnesota, Indiana and New York. In
al. Ihc,1 States the editors OF the German
lsrput can papers aver that the feeling OF
their sOpIe against the denomination OF
General Grant for 4 third term Is very
decided and strOug. RndfrOm each OF these
Stales including New YORK, German Re.
publican editors have written or said to
iricr' here that they would lose large
blocks II subscribers is they should come
out in nppott OF the Grant movement.
But in most Of these States the German
VOTE bids the balance vi power, and a
generl detection OF the German lIepubIi-
cans would defeat the party in States
which / must carry II il hopes 10 elect its
CaUdlIhte.
The Jews Of prominent Western Re.
puhliCsns, which bGve been given you
above, nave been gathered with care by
your correspondent from the friends with
whom hey conversed. The general con.
clssi0l to which observers here have come
from conversation and discussion with the
Northeastern and Western men who have
been here this week Is that tho Grant
movement finds no response in the popu-
Las heart; that the hUspitable reception
given 10 the General Oh his way 10 the
Fast vas not meant by those who took
part in it as an approval o! 'thR effort TO
make linn Presidential candidate; that
the popular prejudice and apprehension
Of 4 th,rdt term is deep seated aud sure to
make i'soli felt, and that in many o. those
SGic3 which are indispensable to the
party, the nomination Of Grant would
cause such u falling Of in the votes and
such disgust as 20 cause the loss Of the cleo.
Ilun, Urless the Democrats should repeat
their nniics OF the extra session and thus
throw the whole North into u ferment,
There Is evidcn! also as;rong current OF
