COLORADO RIVER, or Rio Colorado, a large river of North America, which rises in the Rocky Mountains and falls into the Gulf of California. The main stream, known as the Green River, has its source in Fremont's Peak on the western borders of Wyoming, so that the whole extent of its course must be upwards of 2000 miles. After receiving the waters of the Yampuh and the White River, it flows south for about 150 miles without any important augmentation till it meets with the great rival stream of the Grand River, which by means of its numerous confluents drains so large a portion of the western versant in the State of Colorado. The united stream continues to force its way south, till at its junction with the Colorado Chiquito, or Little Colorado, which takes its rise in the Sierra Madre of New Mexico, it turns almost due west, and cuts right athwart the line of the mountain ranges. Its southern direction is resumed after the confluence of the Virgen from the Wahsatch Mountains, and it only receives one other tributary of real magnitude, the River Gila, before it reaches the sea. The enormous cañons or ravines through which the Colorado and several of its confluents force their way, render this one of the most remarkable river systems of the world. The Grand Cañon alone extends for a distance of about 200 miles westward from the junction of the Colorado Chiquito, and its walls rise almost sheer from the water's edge to a height of from 4000 to as much as 7000 feet. Further down is Black Cañon which, with a length of 25 miles and a height of 1000 or 1500 feet, would be considered a magnificent phenomenon, were it not so completely thrown into insignificance by its more stupendous neighbour. These very features which give the river its uniqueness prevent it from being of much use as a means of navigation; but steamers can proceed upwards as far as Callville, about 612 miles from the mouth.

COLUMBIA, the capital of South Carolina, United States of North America, is a city of nearly 10,000 inhabitants. It lies on the east bank of the Congaree River, just below its junction with the Broad and Saluda, and is 124 miles N.N.W. of Charleston, the principal seaport of the State. It is noted for its salubrity and the natural beauty of its site and surroundings. As the capital and political centre of the State, it has held a position second only in importance to Charleston, and has been the home of many distinguished men. Several public institutions enhance its dignity. Among these are the South Carolina College, founded in 1804, with which the late Professor Francis Lieber was long officially connected, the asylum for the insane, a theological school, the State-house, court-house, &c. It is the terminus of three railroads which connect it with Charleston and the sea-coast, and with points west and north, and is also the head of steamboat navigation on the River Congaree. A fertile agricultural region surrounds it, and it enjoys a fair degree of commercial prosperity. Near the close of the civil war (1865), the Union army of General Sherman entered the city, being feebly opposed by the Confederates. During the Federal occupation, fires were set—whether by invaders or defenders has never been determined beyond doubt—by which many buildings and a large amount of property were destroyed.

COATBRIDGE, a town of Scotland, in the county of Lanark, and parish of Old Monkland, ten miles east of Glasgow by rail, and about two miles west of Airdrie. It owes it rise to the importance of the surrounding district as a mining field. The town itself is of a straggling descrip tion, and is intersected by a branch of the North Cahler Water, the Monkland Canal, and the Caledonian Railway. It contains eight places of worship, a literary association, and five branch banks. In the immediate neighbourhood are the Gartsherrie iron works, and there are engineering establishments in the town itself. The population of town in 1871, including Gartsherrie, High Sunnyside, and Lang- loan, numbered 15 ; 802 ; of whom 8599 were males and 7203 females.

COBÁN, or Santo Domingo Cobán, a city of Central America, in the republic of Guatemala, and the department of Vera Paz, situated about 90 miles north of the city of Guatemala, on the direct route to Flores, not far from the source of the Rio de Cajabon, which flows into the Golfo Dolce. It occupies the slopes of a rounded hill, on the top of which is the central square or plaza, with the cathedral aud the ruins of the once magnificent Dominican monastery on the one side, and on the others the shops and houses of the merchants and artizans. The houses of Coban are low and covered with tiles ; and, as each with its garden and croft attached is curtained by a dense and lofty hedge, the streets have rather the appearance of woodland avenues. The cathedral is a large and imposing edifice, decorated in the interior with a barbaric profusion of ornament ; but like the rest of the public buildings of the town it shows signs of decay. Since the removal of the seat of the Pro vincial Government to Salama, the prosperity of Coban has greatly declined, but it still contains about 12,000 inhabitautSjWho carry on the weaving of cotton cloth, the cultivation of coffee, sugar, and pimento, and a considerable trade with the neighbouring provinces. The Spanish and Ladino part of the population does not exceed 2000 ; and the rest are Indians originally from the mountains of Chichen and Jucamel, who still speak the Kacchi or Quecchi language. Coban owes its origin to the missionary labours of the Dominicans of the 16th century, and more especially to Fray Pedro de Augulo, whose portrait is pre served in the cathedral. It was made the political capital of the province of Vera Paz, and obtained the arms of a city of the first rank.
# Eyesore/Chapter 35

XXXV
The impossible becomes possible, the unbearable gets to be borne, else that night could never have been gone through in Mahendra's household. Mahendra after leaving Binodini, had written a letter that same night. The letter reached the house by the morning's post.
Asha, completely prostrated, was still lying on the floor-bed. The servant boy coming up called out, "Mother, a letter." The blood went to Asha's heart with a sudden thump. In the twinkling of an eye a thousand hopes and fears surged through her breast. She raised herself with an effort and took the letter.
On it was Binodini's name in Mahendra's handwriting. Her head fell back on the pillow—she returned the letter to the boy without a word.
"To whom shall I take the letter?" he asked.
"I don't know!" murmured Asha.
At about eight o'clock in the evening Mahendra rushed stormily into the house and stopped at the door of Binodini's room. There was no light in the room—everything was pitch dark. Mahendra struck a match and found the room empty. Binodini was not there, neither were her things. He went out into the south balcony, it was deserted. He called out "Binod!" There was no reply.
"What a fool I've been, what an utter fool! I should have taken her away with me then. Mother must have said something which has driven her away." No sooner had this thought occurred to him ​than he felt it must be true. In his agitation he went straight into his mother's room. That was also unlighted, but even in the dark it could be made out that Rajlakshmi was stretched on her bed. "What have you said to Binodini, mother?" was the angry Mahendra's abrupt inquiry.
Rajlakshmi.—"I've said nothing."
Mahendra.—"Then where is she."
Rajlakshmi.—"How can I tell?"
"You can't tell?" he sneered. "Very well I'm going after her. Wherever she may be, I'll find her." And Mahendra was off.
Rajlakshmi hastily left her bed and rushed after him crying, "Mahin, Mahin, don't go away like that, Mahin, just listen to a word from me."
But Mahendra was out of the house in a breath. In another second he was back at the door asking the porter: "Where is the young mistress?"
"I don't know, Sir, she didn't tell us where she was going."
"You dont know!" shouted Mahendra in his rage.
"No, Sir, I don't."
"Mother must have told them what to say," thought Mahendra. "Never mind, we'll see." He was then lost in the crowd in the gas-light-spotted night.

MALACAÑANG RESIDENCE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES MANILA
EXECUTIVE ORDER No. 1010
Whereas, Section one, Article XV of the 1973 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines prescribes the colors of the national flag of the Philippines as red, white and blue, with a sun and three stars, but silent as to the shade of the color blue;
Whereas, in the original flag designed by General Emilio Aguinaldo that was unfurled during the declaration of Philippine Independence in Kawit, Cavite on June 12, 1898, the shade of the color blue was lighter than the present dark blue being used in the making of Philippine flag;
Whereas, there is a need to correct historical inaccuracy as regards the true shade of the colors of the Philippine flag as evidenced by the historical findings made by the National Historical Institute, the government agency which absorbed the functions of the defunct Philippines Heraldry Committee;
Now, therefore, I, Ferdinand E. Marcos, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby promulgate and order the National Historical Institute to take the necessary steps to restore the original color of the First Philippine Flag:
The NHI shall issue guidelines concerning the implementation of this Executive Order;
This Executive Order supersedes Executive Order No. 23, dated March 25, 1936.
Done in the City of Manila, this 25th day of February, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and eighty-five.
(Sgd.) Ferdinand E. Marcos President of the Philippines
By the President:
(Sgd.) Juan C. Tuvera Presidential Executive Assistant

By virtue of the authority vested in me by "An Act to define, regulate and punish trading with the enemy, and for other purposes," approved October 6, 1917, known as the "Trading with the enemy Act," and the amendment to such Act embodied in "An Act making appropriations to supply urgent deficiencies in appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, and prior fiscal years, on account of war expenses, and for other purposes," approved March 28, 1918, I hereby, in the public interest, make the following determination, order, rule, and regulation:
The Alien Property Custodian is hereby authorized to sell at private sale, without public or other advertisement, the following property, to wit:
    105 hogsheads, more or less, of tobacco: property of Ad. Hagens and Company, Bremen, Germany: same having been taken off the German Bark Metador, and now stored in General Stores, New York City, under the control of the United States Treasury Department.
Such sale may be made in one or more lots and may be conducted at the place where the property, or the major portion thereof, is situated, or elsewhere, and upon such terms and conditions as to the Alien Property Custodian, or his duly authorized agent may seem proper.
My reasons for the foregoing determination, order, rule, and regulation are:
    (a) That the property described is not customarily sold and can not usually be sold to advantage either at public sale after public or other advertisement, or at the place where such property, or the greater portion thereof, is situated.
    (b) That the United States Government having assumed jurisdiction and control over the docks at which it would be necessary to conduct the public sale of the property described, if public sale were required, and by reason of the congestion of the said docks and the immediate necessity for space thereon, further detention of the said property, which would be rendered necessary by the delays incident to public sale thereof is impracticable and inadvisable.
    (c) That unnecessary expense, delay and inconvenience may be avoided.
