BlRTH-PIACE OF CoLuMBUs.--The fol-
lowing is from a Genoa letter o! recent
ate:--"The real locality Of the birth
place Of Christopher Columbus has not
been hitherto known. The bographers OF
this illustrious navigator-who all agree
that he was born in the state OF Genoa
differ as to the exact locality. All doubt
on the subject is now removed. M. lsnar-
di, the famous Piedmontese archaeologist,
has discovered in the archives OF Genoa
authentick proof that Columbus was born
at Colognetto, in the republlck OF Genoa.
II consists in q letter written by the gov
eminent Of that state, dated the fifth OF
November, 1885, to their ambassador,
Doria, at Madrid, in which the following
passage occurs: --'Christopher Columbus
of Colognetto, an illustrious man, as you
ought to know, being in Spain, has order
ed, by his will, that house shall be built
at Genoa, which shall bear his name, and
has instituted fund for the preservation
of this building,'" etc.

WHO ARE THE LEARNED.

We have often thought that distraction
of pursuit was the rock upon which most
minds had split in early life. Let the
youth fix his mind upon laudable proles,'
sion, and there is scarcely a case in a null
,itudo Of common powers OF intellect, IN
which he could COUP to distinction ana en-
inence. That man is learned who can
concentrate his learning upon the pursuit
Of his life. 1.-The cannot thus draw IN the
ramifcation of his knowledge, what is his
knowledge good fort He may READ ne
brew, Greek, and Latin--converse IN Inc
Oriental tongues, and be perfectly familiar
with all the philosophy Of antiquity, and
vet be incapable Of constructing . house,
sailing ship, delivering q sermon, plea
ding a law suit, or cultivatlng q tarm:--
That man is learned who can bring mas
knowledge down to a practical utility; and
it has ever struck us Of the utmost imPor,,
tance, that the youth oeour country should
DO first impressed with the idea that nc
only is learned who understands correctly
the details of his own profession. 10 o
learned il is not necessary 10 KNOW every
thing, but the man who knows all that can
DO learned upon any laudable pursuit q
life, is a learned man, notwithstanding ne

A THING FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO KNOW.
Every subscriber who refuses or de-
clines to take his paper from the postoftce,
ought to know that he does not thereby
save himself any thing, or terminate his
subscription. He only gives UP or looses
what belongs to him l-nct the publisher
the loss therefore is his, not the printers
A subscription is a contractbetween the par
ties, one Of the terms of which is--'no pa
per discontinued till arrearTcs are paid
If a subscriber does not pay, NE publisher
has right to hold him 10 the contract
to consider him subscriber and to send
him the paper. Being sent, it is his, IN
virtue of the contract NOT terminated ac-
cording to the terms, and us we said be-
fore If he does not choose to take It from
the office, the fault and the loss are his
alone, but he cannot thereby terminate the
contract. In law, it is evidence ola mans
subscription, ifhe takesthe paper from the
office. The subscription being in existence
by virtue of this, his own act, it cannot be
discontinued till all arrearages are paid,
or as long as the publisher chooses to send
him his paper. The only way to stop q pa
per is to pay what is rightfully due, ac'
cording to the terms, and order discon.

SPIDER SnORIEH.

According to the Cincinnati Post, a
mouse was caught in SPIDERS web in that
city few days ago, and would most assu-
TodlY have been secured by the insect had
non some fellow, out of misplaced COM
passion, interrupted the interesting exhi-
bition by liberating the prisoner. Anoth-
er story is told in Batavia IN. Y. pa
per, as follows:
On the evening Of the 18th ult., gen
tleman in this village found in his wine
cellar, live striped snake, nine inches
long, suspended between two shelves,by the
tail, by SPIDERS web. The snake hung
so that he could not reach the shelf below
him by about an inch; and several large
spiders were then upon him sucking the
Juice. The shelves were about two feet
apart, the lower one was just below the
bottom of the cellar window, through
which the snake had probably passed
From the shelf above there was webin
the shape of an inverted cone, or 10 in
ches in diameter at the top, and concentra-
ted to focus al about 6 or inches from
the under side of this shelf. From this
focus there was a strong cord made Of the
multiplied thread of SPIDERS web, appa-
rently as large as common sewing silk, and
by this cord the snake was suspended.
Upon critical examination through a
magnifying glass, the following curious
facts Appeared. The mouth of the snake
was fast tied up by great number of
cords wound round it so tight that he could
not run out his tongue. His tail was tied
in knot, so as to leave small loop or
wiring, through which the cord was fas-
tened; and the end Of the tail above the
loop, to the length of something like over
half an inch, was dashed fast to the cord,
to keep it from slipping. AZ the snake
hung, the length Of the cord, from the tail
to the focus to which it was fastened, was
about six inches; little above the tai
there was observed round ball about the
size of pea.
Upon inspection, this appeared to be
green fly, around which a cord had beet
fastened to the cord above, and from tht
rolling side of the ball to keep it from an
winding and letting the snake down. The
cord, therefore, must have extended from
the focus of the web to the shelf below
where the snake was lying when frs
captured: and being made fast TO the looE
in his tail, the fly was carried and fasten
ed about midway to the side Of the cord
And then by rolling this fly over and over
It wound around it, both from above and
below, until the snake was raised to the
proper height, and then was fastened as
before mentioned.
In this situation the poor snake hung
alive, and furnished continued feast foI
several large spiders until Saturday alter.
noon, the 18th, when some persons, by
playing with him, broke the web above
the focus, so as to let part ofhis body rest
on the shelf below. In this situation ne
fingered, the spiders taking no notice oil
him, until Thursday last, eight days after
he was discovered, when soHe large ants
were deyouring the dead body.
