Some excitement has besn created
on the continent by the recent visit to
Austria Of De Giers, Russi,n foreign
minister. 1t Is generally believed to
be siguifi ,ant Of a coming division of
Turkey and an immediate settlement
of the question of the Danubean
frontier. Austria Ia said to be
permitted to extend her frontier
southwark, while Russia ultimately Is
to add Bulgaria and Roumelia to her
possessions. Lengthy interviews were
held with the Austro.H Hungarian for

pay the debts Of the province, and the
purchase of Tscna aud africa for

not presumed to exceed the action of

Contradictions in the Bible.

Nothing is more common than 4
find apparent contradictions in IN
language of persons of veracity: sna
nothing is more usual than to find thsj
those seeming discrepancies, when py
planned, afford fresh evidence of M
truthfulness of those whose testimon,
has been %impugned. Thus it is witA
the Bible. Its seeming Discrepancy
become fresh evidence of the truth
For example, the Lord said of the dill
obedient Jewish King, by the mouth Al
Jeremiah the prophet: and Zede.
kiah, King of Judah, shall mot escana
out of the hand of the Chaldeans, bp,
shall surely be delivered into the hand
Of the King of Babylon, and shall
speak with him, mouth to mouth, andl
his eyes shall behold his eyes; and hal
shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and
there shall he be until [ visit him, sai,h
the Lord" der. xxi. 45.0 But
when the Lord spoke by the Prophet
Ezekiel of the captivity of Zedekiah,
he said: "My net will 1 spread upon
him, and he shall be taken in nv snare
and l will bring him to Babylon, to tbel
land of the C%haldeans; yet shall he not|
see it, though he shall die there" 81
Geek. xii. 13.)
The Jewish historian, Josephus, ip.|
forms us that the King regarded thiJ
threatening as self-contradictory. Hell
was to die in Babylon, and yet he was
not to see Babylon; and as he could not|
reconcile the two statements he disbe-
lieved both. %Josephus tells us that
''the two prophets agreed that the cityI
should be taken by force, and Zedekiai
carried into captivity. jeremiah said
the King should convey him prisoner to
Babylon; while Ezekiel predicted that
he should not see that city. This an.
parent inconsistency in the prophecies
led Zedekiah to doubt the truth of the
whole, but it will hereafter be seen that
he was mistaken in his conjecture
Josephus' Antiquities, book X, chap. X.
-Cvark's Translation.
When the prophecy was fulfilled all
was plain. "The King of Babylon slew
the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; he
slew also all the Princes of Judah in
Riblah. Then he put out the eyes ofZede-
Kiah; and the King of Babylon bound
him in chains, and carried him to Baby
lon, and put him in prison to the day of
his DEATH" (Jer. lii. ~ The sss4k-
contradiction vanished when the guilty
King reaped the harvest of sorrow for
which he had sown the seeds of sin. He
sawtheK King of Babylon, but henevers saw
the city; he was led thither as a blind
captive, and there ended his days.

Fort Rae and the Dog.Rib Indians.

In q letter to Ndture, Captain Daw.
son, the commander of the British cir.
cumpolar expedition stationed at Fort
Rea, thus describes that remote north.
ern point and its inhabitants: Fort Rea
lies in latitude 81 degrees 50 minutes
north and longitude lis degrees rs min.
utes west from Greenwich, halfway up
a long gulf of Great Slave Lake that
runs for about one hundred miles in o
northwest direction from the mouth OF
Yellow Knife River. The fort is stu.
ated at the foot of a rocky hill that rises
some two hundred feet above the lake,
which is about four miles wide at this
point. The Indians who resort here for
trade hunt for the most part in the
'barren lands" near the Coppermine
River, whence they bring quantities OF
skins and beef from the musk OK, which
seems to be very abundant: Deer, too,
are very plentiful, and in the winter
they migrate in great herds from the
barren lands to the country between the
arm of the land on which Fort Rae lies
and the Mackenzie. Sometimes these
herds pass quite close to the fort, and
take two or three days in passing.
Their numbers must be very great; q
single band has been known to kill over
fifteen thousand in an ordinary season.
This year the deer have passed at some
distance, but the Indians are now ODE
cember y bringing in fresh meat daily.
These Indians are of the 'sDog-rib"
tribe-a quiet, inoffensive race, like all
the wood-Indians. They are almost all
Roman Catholics, the missionaries OF
that religion being very numerous in
the country, and they are certainly very
devoted and Woodworking. There are
also Protestant missionaries, but they
do not appear to have made any con.
verts. The Dog-ribs are a branch OF
tho Chipewyan family, who occupies
all that portion of the continent between
the Rocky Mountains and Hudson's
Bay to the north of the parallel of IS
degrees. They are unprepossessing in
appearance, and their language is al
most unpronounceable by . European.
Their alphabet, if they had one,w would
contain no less than s%eventy-one letters,
that being the number of distinct
sounds. l believe the language is allied
to the ancient Mexican-at any rate, the
Navajo is the nearest of existing lam
guages-and the combination of letters
that one sees in Mexican names I'll, foa
instance are common in this language.
The Dog-ribs have the remarkable De.
culiarity of a national habit of STAN.
mering, which is most marked in thosa
who seldom come in to the fort. !They
treat their women with more kindness
than is usual among the American In
dians.

A Very Common Fish.

Once, when coming from a three
hours excursion, with at least twenty
pounds of black bass and wall-eyed pike
in the bottom of the boat, which my at
tendant was rowing at a lively rate
abreast of a rapidly-gathering storm, one
of my lines attached to rod and reel, and
which 1 was trolling, suddenly frightened
and came near jerking the rod into the
lake.
'tJewhillikins, Charles! put the boat
about. Got a ten-pound bass on.
Julious Caesar, how he pulls!
1t was no easy task to stop and come
round against the wind and make head
way backward, so to speak, or hold
the boat SO that the game could be
properly handled. At least 100 feet of
line a out before the maneuver could
be executed. In the mean time the line
was pulled hither and yon, the monster
tugged and jerked, the boat was hard to
manage, the wind increased every
moment, and the now angry waves rose
and showed their white teeth until it
seemed that the elements and all the acct
dents and incidents possible were con-
spring t o prevent the capture of the
''boss' fish of MaXincuckee.
But he was on, well hooked, in fact, as
was quickly shown, and unless we were
capsized, or | was pulled overheard and
lowed around the lake, it wouldn't do
to give up. Charles rowed with all his
strength, now on the right oar, now on
the left, according to orders, while 1,
braced in the boat, took advantage of
every turn to keep the line taut, and
hold the quarry to his work.
Soon the rain came and the wind grew
furious, and the ave leaped into our
skltf like pirates. Still the contest was
kept up for twenty minutes, when VIC
got the customer under control. and
Charles, dropping his oars, seized tho
landingg-net and deftly thrust ton to a
slender, tenacious branch of a sunken
tree! That was all.-Forest and Stream.
