A Wrong Calculation.

There have been for centuries doubts
as to the correctness of the accepted
calculation of the Christian era. Some
learned historians cannot agree whether
Christ was born in the year TAT. TAO or
754. Prof. Sattier, of Munich. has pub
lished an essay in which he tries to
reconcile the testimony of the evangel-
lists with the other historical data on
this point He examined four copper
coins, newly discovered, which were
struck in the reign of Herod Antipas,
one of the sons of Herod the Great and
he comes to the conclusion that Christ
was born not in 754 but 749 years after
the foundatation of Rome, and there
fore that the present year is 1888 in
stead of 1883. This opinion the pro-
fessor tries to corroborate by the testi-
mony of the evangelists,
According to st. Matthew, Jesus was
born toward the end of the reign of
Herod the Great, and when that King
died Jesus was yet little child. Ac-
cording TO st. Luke Jesus was born in
the year in which, by virtue of decree
of Augustus Caesar, Cyronius, Govern
or of Syria, made the first census of
Judea. Again st. Luke says that st.
John began to baptize in the fifteenth
year Of the reign Tiberius Caesar, and in
that year baptized Jesus, who was then
30 years of age. AS to the first testi-
mony can be no misunderstanding
Christ, being born in TO, was of course
yet baby in $50, when Herod died.
But the other testimony needs some ex-
PLANTATION. From the breviarium i'm
peril Census of the empire) which was
added to the will of Augustus Caesar, it
is evident that thorough census of the
countries that composed the Roman
empire must have been made. In fact
Augustus had three censuses of his
empire made, namely, 726, TAG and 766
As St. Luke says that in Judea the first
census was made during the reign of
Herod, the census must have been ord
cred in TAG. Probably the censzs was
begun In Judea in TAI, and Prof. Sat
tier thinks it was not made in Jerusa-
lem earlier than 749 He finds that the
four coins enable him to make clear the
testimony of the Evangelist as to the
fifteenth year of the reign Of Tiberius
Though Augustus died on Aug. 10, 7G7
yet the beginning of the reign of Tiber-
JUS must be counted year and half
earlier February 1860, when he was APP
pointed co-regent. Therefore the
fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius
falls in $50, when st. John baptized
Jesus, who was then about 30 year of
| age.
An evangelist says that Christ began
to preach forty-six years after the
temple at Jerusalem was built by
Herod. Now, it is known that the
building of the temple was begun
eighteen years after Herod was appoint
ed by the Roman Senate as regent of
Judea, or in the year 734 from tho
foundation of Rome. Adding forty-six
to that year, it gives $50 as the year in
which Christ began to preach.
If all these calculations of Prof Sat
tier are correct then the Christian era
began five years earlier than is usually
supposed York sam.

Not So Very Crazy.

Nose Schaumburg had loaned Sam
Bingtom seven hundred dollars. AS
Nose had not seen Sam on the streets
of Austin for several days, it occurred
to him to call at Sans house, and find
out how he was coming on. He did
not see Sam, but Mrs. Bingtom was at
home. She looked very sad and had
black rings around her eyes.
