Professor William Robertson Smith, of
Aberdeen University, whose heresy has at
tracted SO much attention, was born at Keig
Tough, beautiful spot near the Vale of AL
ford, Aberdeenshire, in 1S47 He is the son
of the Rev. William Pirie Smith, D. D.,
Free Church minister there. He could read
Hebrew at six years of age. He was educa-
ted at Aberdeen University, where he had a
most distinguished career, graduating with
honors in logic, philosophy and mathematics.
He entered college with brother, said to be
the more gifted of the two, and who died af-
ter gaining two $40 scholarships. Afterleav.
ing Aberdeen he spent several years at. the
Universities of Berlin, Bohn and Gottingen,
his attention while there being more partic-
ularly directed to the study of the Semitic
languages. Soon after returning to Scotland,
and when only twenty four years of age, he
was appointed Professor of Oriental Lam
guages and Old Testament Exegesis in the
Free Church College, Aberdeen.

Mr.. John Beitler, young Pittsburger who
went to Brazil to seek fortune almost seven
years ago, has returned to his home in this
city. He does not give very glowing ac-
count of the country and statesthat the op-
portunities presented there for the en-
couragement of American enterprise are not
very extensive without large financial re-
sources. 1t is hardly the place for young
men of even more than ordinary pluck and
energy to visit and grow up with the country,
unless they have money and are prepared to
grow slowly. The country is flooded with
American inventions and knick- -knacks, and
the istless Brazilians, who i'll former times
looked upon such novelties from the States
as great discoveries, have lapsed into state
of more or less Indifference. The telephone
has been in use for many months. the roller
skating is one of the sports in the large
cities and other contrivances have lost their
novelty. Mr.. Beitler says that the native
Brazilians are gradually becoming more ''civ-
iizee'' since the number of Englishmen,
Americans and comers from all quarters of
the globe are Introducing customs as new to
the natives as they are frequent Rio janet
ro, with its four hundred thousand popula-
ton, is gradually assuming metropolitan airs
and you can ride all through its paved
streets in Pennsylvania street car. Mr..
Beitler reports that the country is traversed
by a number of railroads. all narrow gauge,
however, save the Dom Pedro road, and one
which was built by English capitalists and
operated by Englishmen. The former road
owns two hundred Baldwin locomotives.
One of the best engineers on this road is
young man named Lewis, formerly of Al
leghaney City. Most of the other engineers
are natives, and most of them know as much
about the locomotive as the hind brakeman.
So says Mr. Beitler. The chief industry of
Brazil, the cultivation of coffee, is gradually
diminishing, according to the same authority.
Many of the planters are leaving for Central
America and Mexico, which Mr.. Better thinks
is destined to become great country for
that industry.

The project of tunneling Mont Blanc bids
fair to assume tangible shape, it being pro-
nounced by some of the most eminent
French engineers a more practicable under
taking than that of the Simplon route. The
estimates of cost for executing such work
are, in the case of the Simplon, 1927, ,o0O, 900
and in that of Mont Blanc some $12, ,oOO, 900
less. It is furthermore claimed that the
Mont Blanc tunnel will make the journey
from Paris to Genoa some ninety-seven Kill
ometres shorter, and from Paris to Milan
simplon route. The. most favored line of
the projected tunnel, thus far in the discus
sion, is from Chamounix to Courmayeur.

The Czar and the Doves.
from the London telegraph

OF the strangest stories connected with the
melancholy fate of Alexander II shat have
obtained currency since his death, not the
least curious is the following narrative, pub
lished in the st. Petersburg Beeltce, and
alleged by that journal to be in every partic-
ular authentic. One night, about fort
night before the catastrophe on the 18th,
while looking out of his bedroom window,
the late Gear noticed two or three dead pig
cons lying on the ledge of the balcony. As
the Imperial pigeons, like those of the Piaz-
IA, di San Marco in Venice, are privileged
BIRDS His Majesty, displeased that they
should have been slain within the very pre-
cincts of his palace, ordered an inquiry to be
made as to how they had come to their
death
1t was soon discovered that a huge hawk
had taken up its quarters in some out-of the
way nook of the Winter Palace roof, and,
emerging thence every morning at dawn. it
made regular practice of thinning out the
Emperor's flock of pigeons Imperial com
mands were issued that thisinveterate colum-
bicide should be watched for and shot: but
the hawk contrived to evade the vigilance of
the domestics charged with its destruction
and continued to kill its two, three or four
pigeons daily with absolute impunity. A
powerful trap was therefore baited and set
for it on the roof; and, early next morning,
it was seen from below, caught by the leg,
and struggling with all its might to get loose.
Before the ser wants could reach the spot to
put an end to the fierce birds agony it had
dragged the heavy trap over the edge of the
parapet, and fallen with it upon the paving
of an innes courtyard, overlooked by the I'M
perial apartments. When the Emperor was
informed that the hawk had met its death in
this strange manner, he appeared much dis
turbed in mind and observed several times
to his attendants that ''the whole affair was
of evil omen''

COMMUNICATIONS.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
In the discussion relating to the two Greek
words ''genos'' and ''genea" we did not give
the Specification of these words as they are
given in the lexicons, but their Specification
as they are given in the old and new versions
of the New Testament. We have taken the
trouble to go over the new revision where
these words occur, and in every instance our
revisors have rendered ''genos" with the sig
nification of race, stock, kind, and in one in
stance where it was translated in the old YER
sion ''generation'' q Peter, 2.9) they have
changed it to 'srace" in the new. In regard
to '.genea, " in every instance they have rem
dered it. generation" without exception. The
phrase this generation occurs six times in
the 18th chapter of Luke, and, as the learned
DIR. Whitby SAYS, 1T can bear no other sense
in the New Testament than the men of this
age" In regard to the context requiring that
this race'' should be- substituted for this
generation" we differ most decidedly with
Fl. A. D." In conclusion, is it not wise to
abide the decision of the best Greek scholars
in England and America, who as orthodox
theologians were certainly not ignorant of the
discussions in relation to the phrase this
generation" and its bearing on the events re-
corded in the oath and 25th of Matthew?

about it, and the President is said to have

FATHERS club? was q canal boy once, but
was also a school teacher, a college presi
dent and a congressman. Why not have a
school teachers club, a college presidents
club or a congressmen's club. There is just
as good reason for it. Personally, don't
want any of it."
The bill passed by the New York Legisla-
ture to prevent discrimination against guests
at hotels, visitors to places of amusement,
travellers, etc., on account of race, creed or
is now law. 1t is broad and general in its
wording 1t declares that all persons shall
be entitled in the State of New York to full
and equal enjoyment of the accommodations
and privileges of hotels restaurants, public
conveyances, theatres, and all places of re-
sort, subject only to such lawful conditions
as are applicable alike to citizens of every
race. creed and color, and any person violat-
ing this law, cor aiding or melting thereto,'
shall be deemed guilty of misdemsanor, and
be'fned not less than $500 nor more than
81, 600, and be imprisoned not less than 80
days nor more than one year. It remains to
be seen whether or not this law will be effec-
tive. It ought to be, but those who are dis
posed to evade it will doubtless find some
way of doing SO without exposing themselves
to punishment
Another interesting piece of history" in re-
iation to the contest between Conkling and
the administration is made public. 1t is re-
lated that on the day following that on which
the President sent Mr.. Robertsons name to
the Senate it was known beyond doubt that
Mr.. Conkling and the other representatives
of New York were greatly dissatisfied. On
that day two members of the Cabinet called
upon the President and suggested that con
ference should be held between the President
on the one hand and the Vice President and
the two New York Senators on the other.
The President accepted the suggestion and
set apart that evening for the interview. The
two members of the Cabinet made arrange
ments, as they thought, with the Vice Presi-
dent and the two Senators for the confer
ence, and it was understood that it should
take place at 7:3O at the White House. After
ward Mr.. Conkling demurred and refused to
attend. On this account the interview did
not take place. The President waited an
hour and half for his expected visitors. If
this story is true, and it is certainly plausi-
BILE, Conkling's course will not gain any
credit from it.

A Hint to Young Husbands.

Love and appreciation are to woman
what dew and sunshine are to flower. They
refresh and brighten her whole life. They
make her strong hearted and keen-sighted in
everything affecting the welfare of her home.
Fhey enable her to cheer her husband when
the cares of life press heavily upon him, and
to be very providence to her children. To
know that her husband loves her and is
proud of her, that even her faults are looked
upon with tenderness; that her face to one
is at least the fairest face in the world; that
the heart which is to her the greatest and no.
bIest holds her sacred in its inmost recesses
above all other women, gives strength and
courage and sweetness and vivacity which
all the wealth of the world could not bestow.
Let woman's life be pervaded with such an
influence, and her heart will blossom and
sweeten, and brighten in perpetual ysuth.

The experiment of shipping wheat from
the northwest to Europe by way of New Or
leans is to have fair trial. Thirty thou
sand bushels of spring wheat are to be sent
from st. Paul, MiAn., to Glasgow, Scotland,
at twenty eight cents per bushel. If this
venture proves successful, a million bushels
will probably follow the same line. There is
doubtless much to be done by the merchants
and authorities of New Orleans before the
grain trade can be attracted thither to such
an extent as to seriously affect Chicago and
New York, but it is certain that the New Or
leans route possesses some advantages.

A Valuable Hint.

Here is good item for American
heiresses and beauties who would like
to marry European rank. Prince Lud-
wig Sayn- Wittgenstein, member of the
highest nobility in Germany, had mar
ried the daughter of Berlin banker
named Lilionthal, commoner. Then
he died, and the widow continued to
call herself Princess Sayn-Wittgenstein.
Prince Frederick, of the same name,
brought suit against her, demanding
that she give up the Princely title as
we'll as the use of the armorial symbols.
The Supreme Court of the German
Empire at Leipzig found against the
defendant, and laid down the follow
ing rules;
l. A marriage between man of no.
BILE birth with commoner's daughter
may be a true marriage, but it is a
"mesalllance," consequently the wo-
man retains her rank as commoner.
2. A civil suit can be brought against
her in case she should use the title or
crest of noble family.
3. Any member of the noble family
whose title or crest is used by a COM
moner has the authority to bring such
a suit.
If this apply to woman of German
birth, what can an American expect?
The verdict quoted above emanates
from the highest tribunal IN Germany,
and is translated accurately.
