Tho Fastest Run On RecOrd-212
Miles In 2O6 Minutes.

The Vanderbilt party, returning
from the Michigan Central meeting
at Detroit, on Thursday, went to Buff
falo over the Canada Southern, MAX
ing the fastest run on record. Two
engines were used-one q new Nc
Queen engine and the other a rebuilt
engine, turned out at the st. Thomas
shOrs, and both built for fast run
ming. The dispatcher at st. Thomas
reports that the run from Essex Cen
tre to st. Thomas, 96mifes, was made
in 96 minutes, including two stops of
seven minutes. The llG miles inter-
vening between st. Thomas and Nj
agara Junction were accomplished in
two hours and % minutes, including
ten stops of 36 minutes, making the
actual running time 1l6 minutes.
The total running time from Essex
Centre to the Junction. PIP miles, de-
Quoting st0ppages, was made in 2O6
minutes, which is the fastest time on
record on any road. The st. Thomas
engine weighs 284 tons, has q 17x2
cylinder and 16O fues. The Nc
Queen engine weighs 3S tons, has an
l8xM cylinder and 1877 fues.

Not 1888, But 1888.

There have been for centuries
doubts as to the correctness of the ac-
cepted calculation of the Christian
era. Some learned historians cannot
agree whether Christ was born in the
year 747, 749, or 754, counting from
the foundation of Rome. Recently
Professor Sattler of Munich has pub
lished an Essay in which he tries to
reconcile the testimony of the evan
gelists with the other historical data
on this point. He has 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 754, but 749 years after the found
alton of Rome, and therefore that the
present year is 1883 instead of 1888.
This opinion the professor tries to
corroborate by the testimony of the
evangelists.
According to st. Matthew, Jesus
was born near the end of Herod the
Greats reign 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 a
decree of Augustus Caesar, Cyrenius,
governor of Syria, made the first CEN
ses of Judea. Again, St. Luke says
that st. John began to baptize in the
fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius
Caesar, and in that year baptized
Jesus, who was then thirty years of
age. As to the first testimony there
can be no misunderstanding. Christ
being born in 749, was Of course vet a
babe in 75O when Herod died. But
the other testimony needs some ex-
planation. From the breviarium
imperil 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,
in 726, TAG and 7t6. AS st. Luke
saws that in Judea the first census
was made in the reign of Herod, the
census must have been ordered in
TAG. Probably the census was begun
in Judea in TAI, and Professor Sat-
tier thinks it was not begun in Jeru-
salem 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 Au-
gustus died on Aug. 10, 767, yet the
beginning of the reign of Tiberius
must be counted year and half
earlier, February, 1867 when he
was appointed co-regent. Therefore
ihe fifteenth year of the reign of Tib-
erius falls in $50, when st. John
baptized Jesus, who was then abou.
thirty years of age.
An evangelist says that Christ be-
gan 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 ap-
pointed by the Rome senate as re-
gent of Judea, or in the year 724,
from the foundation of Roman. Ad-
ding As to that year, it gives $50 as
the year in which Christ began to
preach.
If all these calculations of Prof.
Sattler are correct, then the Christian
era began five years earlier than is
usually supposed, making the cur
rent year 1883 instead of lSS3.-Ne,v
York Sun.

That Curate's Kiss.
Philadelphia Press.

y
A remarkable story was recently
printed in the London Times regard
ing young curate who was induced
to visit lady in his parish. At their
first interview she impulsively con-
fessed her love, and besought him to
kiss her Just once ere they parted for
ever. Touched with pity, though
not without some timidity, the inno-
cent curate complied. They parted,
she with tears in her eyes. A few
DAYS later the bashful dominic re-
ceived a neat parcel by the post. He
opened it to find an instantaneous
photograph of himself in the act of
kissing the mysterious woman. A
note accompanied the picture con-
veying the cheerful intelligence that
eleven other copies might be secured
at EGO each. The fair creature said
that it the curate did not desire the
pictures she wished to dispose of
them elsewhere. This startling COM
mentary on the art of blackmailing
concludes with the declaration that
negotiations are in progress between
the parties. Inquiry was made yes
terday of all the principal photogra-
pliers in this city as to the credibility
of this story, based on its practicable
ity. Ali talked freely on the subject.
One of the gentlemen went
SO far. as to facetiously say:
"It would be quite unprofessional to
criticise brother in art" The old
est photographer on Chestnut street
read the paragraph, as published in
the London Times, through carefully
and said: "Whether it is truth or fam
cy, it was clearly written by person
who was ignorant of photography.
But, seriously, the story is utterly
improbable. In the light of an ordi-
nary room an instantaneous plate
could not be taken that would devel-
op recognizable picture. From one
to four seconds are required under an
ordinary skylight. Therefore. under
the best conditions, the plate could
not have been made by the ambushed
camera, unless the curate's token was
a lingering kiss of several seconds
cal flaws I could pick in the yarn"
elf the curate is really caught he
ought to bid for the negative" re-
marked another familiar of the cam
era. "The procession of the first
dozen prints would not protect him.
That is very vulnerable feature Of
the story. But it's absurd all through
II there any pictures at all they NUT
be what is known as ''compOsition
work. I man that the picture of
one person is drawn or pasted on
real nhOtOpraph of the other. The
merest nOvices can delect the trick,
however, and nobody is safe from
that indignity. That is what was
tried on Mary Anderson by fellow
in Pittsburgh"

Touching Prison Scene.
"BOb White" in New York Journal

"Bob White" in New York Journal.
You have, / differentially infer,
never been in the penitentiary, and a
scene which I witnessed there day
or two since may be revelation.
The ever-cOurteOus commissioner
Brennan had provided me with the
watchword to the county buildings
on Blackwell's Island, and while I
was waiting for an opportunity to do
what in the language of the gentle
men whose relations with society are
chiefly of predatory character
would be termed "my little bit," q
warden entered ushering in a thin,
pale young woman with a child in
her arms.
She looked timidly at the official
behind the desk; then apprehensive-
ly at me; then lovingly, as only a
mother can, at the chubby little face
of her offspring.
After few minutes wait, during
which the pale and anxious girl con-
stantly looked toward the door lead
ing to the prison, another warden
appeared, followed by a stalwart.
close-croppedy young man in striped
suit.
With an eloquent cry he darted
forward, and in moment had the
baby in his arms-the mother, in the
meantime, mantling with joy and
pride, raised her crest like some
great female bird and plunged it
again and again into the soft billows
of the little ones flesh.
The woman was his wife; the baby
was his child.
The first ne had not seen since he
had beeD sent to Jail, half a year be-
fore. The second he had never seen.
The Jail officials, used to every
form of suffering and surprise,
stepped aside so that two, who had
grown into three, might pursue their
bliss unseen and unchecked. For
full hour the father and mother COM
pared notes as to the wondrous
beauties o. the baby.
When the convict had been re-
moved and his wife, almost rosy
with triumph, had kissed him good
by. turned to the warden.
"How long is that man in for?" I
asked.
HE is in for one year." was the
answer; "but the moment his time
is up, a warrant is ready for him un-
der which he will see nothing but
the inside of Moyamensing Jail till
lS95-if he lives 80 long,"

Going down the great Jackson
route from Grenada, Miss. a regular
old hOmespun native of the State en-
tered the sleeping car and paid for
berth, writes M. Quad, in the Detroit
Free Press. He had never been in
side a car of the kind, and everything
astonished him. When the porter
came to make up the beds 1 saw that
the native was greatly perplexed, but
as he made no direct appeal it wasn't
my duty to post him. He was the
first one to make preparations for
bed. He glanced anxiously around,
pulled off one boot, and then took a
rest for five minutes. When the
other boot came off he had solved
the problem. Pushing his boots un-
der the berth, he started for the rear
platform, and nothing was heard
from him for about ten minutes.
Then he put his head into the door
and called out: "All you 'uns in
thar, look out, Pm coming!" And
come he did. He had disrobed while
standing on the platform, made a
bundle of coat, vest and trousers, and
as he shot into bed after a run up the
aisle he gurgled out: "Old Mississippi
may be little slow, but she allus
gifts thar just the same"
