THEOLOGY VS.. IcHTHYoLocY,


Nineteen centuries since, five thous-
and men, besides women and chill
dren, dined heartily on two loaves
and five little fishes, and after the
feast gathered up twelve basketfuls
of fragments. The original Greek of
this marvellous story is as follows:
"Koi Keleusas tous ochlous an
aklithenai cpl tous Glorious, etc. 4
Matthew, chapter IA, verse 10.
Everyone, of course, reads Greek.
That able and erudite jurist, Major
John Phelps, President Of Hopkins
vile archaeological Institute, antago-
nizes the commonly received versions
of this miracle; aud calmly, we will
even say, judicially, seating himself
on the grass, wide Kentucky Reports
under heading Of Keep of the
Grass, proposes to reverse this
miracle by taking five thousand trout
from Uncle Sans Fish Commission
and devouring them, without leaving
a single fragment Of fish big enough
for Grover Cleveland's cat to smell,
Maj. Phelps is preparing a strong
argument to show that history ought
not to repeat itself.
