German Barons as Husbands.

The American Consul at Crefeld is
an original genius. He has hit upon a
new subject for investigation. The
next Consular report will have its pages
OF long-drawn-out nothings about the
dairy business in Portugal, the produce
of barley in New Zealand, the winter
foddering in Denmark and the increase
Of goats in Bavaria, enlivened by the
report of Consul Potter on the subject
OF the marriages of American girls with
German mobiles. He has given the SUBJ
ject exhaustive study, it seems, and as
the Consular report is always made out
On a scientific basis, he presents a tabu-
lated statement of his Investigations.
But he ''begs to transmit very differ
emit report from that which the repre-
sentative of the American eagle usually
sends. Our enthusiastic Consuls
usually draw the conclusion from
their Investigations and tables that they
have found the very enterprise into
which their c%ountrymen should rush at
once. But Consul Potter thinks that
the German noble business is not a pay
ing one. He cites thirty-three such
marriages, and among them all there
has not been a single one that has not
been speedily followed by divorce or
abandonment. Not a very good show
ing. 1t looks as if the American girl
would better find something else to do
with herself, and let the German bar
ons find their wioes at home among
ladies who will consider it evidence Of
affection to be allowed to clean their
ljege lords boots. Why don't Prince
Bismarck, while he is prohibiting
American pork, prohibit American
wives, too? 1t would really be Il great
kindness to the marriageable girls
whose heads are easily turned by a
title and a hereditary estate.-Bostom

What Tongue Did Christ Speak.

Some students of this question. which
the revision of the Old Testament has
beset with renewed interest, are of the
opinion that the population OF Palestine
at the time of Christ's mission was
Greek. Row. Alexander Roberts, d. d.,
recently published a book on the Old
Testament revision, in which he gives
some reasons for this conclusion. For
centuries preceding the comingo of Christ
the Greek language permeated the
countries bordering on the Mediterrane-
m. The old Hebrew, in which the law
had been written, had become q dead
language, and only the learned men of
that period were able to read the Penta-
touch. The pure Hebrew race in Pales-
tine spoke Aramalc, which was unlike
the Hebrew of Moses and Isaiah. The
Greek language and Aramaic were, then,
the tongues spoken in that country at
the time OF the coming Of IL Lord.
Hence DR.. Roberts argues that while
teaching the people Christ would ad-
dress them in a language that they un-
derstood. Even if he knew the Scrip
lures in the original Hebrew, He would
no more be likely to use them in that
way than amodern preacher who knows
the New Testament in the original
Greek would give his text in that.
The evidence that the common peo-
pie understood Greek our authority
considers conclusive. AS examples OF
facts which led him to this opinion he
quotes the epistles which were written
In Greek by some of the apostles to the
Hebrew Christians. Pauls epistles to
the Greeks were, of course written in
Greek. "But," asks DR.. Roberts,
"why should Peter, who was a strict
Hebrew write his epistles in Greek I'M
less the Hebrews understood Greek:
Why was the epitle to the Hebrews as
cribel to Paul written IN Greek?" The
apostles appear to have spoken in Ara
maic and in Greek, as the occasion
seemed to demand. Christ did not ad.
dress himself merely to q province, but
to the world, and his utterances We're,
therefore, in the language that was best
understood. Greek was the language
of civilization; moreover, sit was the
civilization of that era which accepted
Him, while the Hebre ws rejected Him.

He said to a reporter yesterday: 'Ihere
Is a mistaken notion in the States about
cowboys. They are no more and no
less than herders and drivers Of cattle.
There are probably fifty or sixty OF
them on a ranch. When they have a
time off and visit town they are reckless
and careless, but when on duty are the
best of men to come in contact with.
OF course they are always ready with
their guns, and are good shots. but then
they are generous to a fault. Without
an exception, hardly, every cowboy
carries two revolvers, but it is only when
drunk that theyuse them. knew ne;

A Feathcred Shepherd.

In South America there il a verv
beautiful bird called the agami. or tia
rolden-breasted trumpeter. tits aboutas
large IN the body as one of our common
mrn-yard fowl, but as il has longer legs
and a longer neck itseems much larger.
It's general color is black, but the plum
ace on the breast is beautiful beyond
dc. cription, being what might be called
ir~ridescent, changing, as it continually
does, from a steel-blue to a red-gold.
and glittering with a metallic luster.
In its wild state the agami is not pe-
culiar for anything but its beauty. its
extraordinary cry, which has given Il
the name of trumpeter, and for an odd
habit of leaping with comical antics in
to the air, apparently for its own amuse-
mcnt. When tanned however-and il
soon learns to abandon its wild WAYS
it usually conceives a violent attach
ment for its master, and, though yery
Jealous of his affection, endeayors to
please him by q solicitude for the we'll
being of all that belongs to him, which
NAV fairly be termed benevolence,
Ii is never shut up at night as the
other fowl are, but, with a well-deserved
liberty, is permitted to take up its quar-
tiers were it pleases. In the morning it
drives the ducks to the water and the
chickens to their feeding-ground; ard
if any should presume to wander, they
are quickly brought to q sense of duty
by a sharp reminder from the strong
beak of the vigilant agami. At night
the faithful guardian drives its charge
home again.
Sometimes it is given the care of .
flock of sheep; and, though it may seem
too puny for such task, it is in fact
quite equal to it. The misguided sheep
that tries to trihe with the agami soon
has cause to repent the experiment; for,
with a swiftness unrivaled by any dog,
the feathered shepherd darts after the
runaway, and with wings and beak
drives it back to its place, notforgetting
to- Empress upon the offender q sense Of
its error by pecks with its beak.
Should a dog think to take advantage
of the seemingly unguarded condition.
of the sheep and approach them with
evil design, the agami makes no hesita-
ton about rushing at him and giving
combat. And it must be q good dog
that will overcome the brave bird. In
deed, most dogs are so awed by the
fierce onset of the agami, accompanied
by its strange cries, that they %inconti-
nently turn about and run, fortunate if
they escape unwounded from the indig-
nSnt creature.
At meal-times it walks into the house
and takes its position near its master.
seeming to ask for his caresses. 1t will
not permit the presence of any otherpet
in the ROOM, and even resents the intru-
sion of any servants not belonging
there, driving out all others before it
will be contented. Like a weli-bred
dog, it does. not clamor for food. but
waits with dignity until its wants have
been supplied.-w Woodman, IN st
