John. Grimm's father was going east at
the time, and took charge of his son. There
were no return charges, no expenses in
Chicago, and Zimmerman never went a
foot from his home to attend to his case.

the fare is only S. IS. and even admitting

fully charged $500 had he been so dis

county. The patient. Burke, was wholly
blind; he had to have an attendant; the
railroad company refused to take charge
of Burke, or the county's expense would
have been very light. This latest charge
of the Organ is only repetition of the
we'll known tactics of the editor of the
Organ-to bulldoze where he cannot con-

THE AGE OF THE WORLD.
fCourier-Journal.l

NAvAsoTA, Texas, Sept. 81, 1870
What is the cause of the difference in
the Jewish computation of the age of
the world and the Christian computa-
ton? What is the basis of calculation
of each? The Jews, believe, make
the present year $50, and the Chris
tians make it 6592. r.. G.
A,asuer-That is question we can
not answer, nor can any one else. The
Bible does not attempt to give any
chronology, and it is futile to look to
any quarter for it. The Jewish chro.
nology gives one guess and the ssChris-
tan computation" as you call it, gives
another. We have no good reason for
accepting either. The general belief
among scholars addicted to such stud
les is that the reckoning among the
Romans, from the foundation of their
city, 1888 years before the birth of
Christ, was the first fixed point from
which time was ever computed. We
have Chinese, Egyptian, Hindoo and
Chaldean chronologies, but little conf
dence is to be placed in any of them.
The manuscripts of the Bible do not
agree about the creation of the world
nor the deluge. Usher computes 1000
years from the creation to the birth of
De
The Samaritan Pentateuch counts 1907
years to the food, and makes the Gre
alton q much older period than U.s.
hers. The Septuagint makes the
creation of the world 600O years before
Christ and 2250 years before the food.
These glaring differences have never
oeera reconciled, nor will they ever be.
Even In regard to the Christian era,
good scholars feel we'll assured that in
stead Of 1880 for next year we should
lave 1885. We think that there is no
doubt about this. If we accept the
occurrence of certain natural pheuo-
mena, recorded by Josephus as having
sa1en place during the reign of Herod,
astronomy shows that we are over five
yean short Of the true time for sthe
years OF the Lord" We do not pro-
pose to alter the time. We should
pretty well upset history by doing 90.
Our correspondent may rest assured
that he has as much right to guess
about epochs as Archbishop usher or
the Jews, and he may conjecture to
suit himself. W
