EARLY AMERICA.

The following is going the rounds
"a Chinese interpreter in California
says, that Chinese history shows that
the continent of Ameriea was discovered
by Buddhist priests, fourteen hundred
years ago, or in the year 459 They
called the country Fusang, from tree
which is very prolific in Mexico, serving
the inha bitants with food and raiment."
1t is really remarkable, that, with SO
perfectly established fact on record,
as the early discovery of America by
tho Chinese, that our historians say
nothing about it. Many years ago, our
old teacher Prof Carl Neumann, the
distinguished Orientalist, ascertained,
while residing in China, from the early
records of the empire, that, in the fifth
century, Buddhist missionaries were in
the habit of continually travelling from
Pekin to Mexico. There descriptions
of the country and its products are re-
markably accurate. Their is no doubt |
and no obscurity whatever on the sub.
ject. Prof. Neumann publishes the re-
suits of these Chinese researches in a |
small book, which we translated and |
annotated under his supervisor. This
work was subsequently, published in
| S4S, in the New Y ork Knickerbocker.
Its statements agree exactly with those
of the Chinaman in California

willing to procure him the new cats
I'm afraid this friend regarded the
whole matter as joke, but at any rate
he was faithful to his promise, and as
soon after his arrival in Rio Janeiro as
possible he sct some natives hunting,
who caught two young tiger cats of ex-
traordinary ferocity, which he placed in
case and shipped to Baltimore.
When he had almost forgotten the
matter, he was surprised by the receipt
of letter apprising him of these wild
beasts, and was requested "to come for
ward, pay charges, and take them away"
He hurried into. town and found those
young tigers about the size of medium
setter dog and bill of charges of sew
eral hundred per cent. more than he
anticipated. He paid it, and ordered
two negroes to convey the beasts in
cart out to his country scat, for no wish
ed to exhibit them before he sent them
down to take command of the island
cats.
On the road out to his place the cats
glared and spit at the negroes in such |
fendish manner, that to get rid Of them
they turned the cage over on the bar |
side, whereby one Of the cats was smcta,

The survivor, being deprived of his
mate, became more ferocious than ever,
and it became a question whether it
would be safe for the cats upon the. is
land to turn it loose among them The
owner was very much worried unit! his
negro man suggested that they should
try the experiment by putting a tame

The idea was the very thing. A cat

THE SWORD OF BUNKER HILL

He lay upon his dying bed
His eye was growing dim,
When with feeble voice he called
His weeping son to him;
"Weep not aaEbas,, =. ran said
81 bow to heavens high will
But quickly from yon antlers bring,
The sword of Bunker Hill.''
The sword was brought, the soldiers eve,
Lit with sudden flame
And as he grnsped the ancient blade,
He muEmured Warren's name;
Then said, "my boy leave you gold
But what is richer still,
l leave you, mark me, mark me now
The sword of Bunker HILL
"'T was on that dread immortal day
l dared the Briton's hand,
A captain raised aloft this blade
/ tore it from his hand,
And while the glorious battle ragged,
1t hghtened freedoms will
For boy, the God of freedom blessed
The sword of Bunker Hill.
30, keep the sword l"-his accents broke,
A smile-and he was dead
His wrinkled hand still grasped the blade
Upon that dying bed.
The son remains; the sword remains
Its glory growing still
And twenty millions bless the sire,
And sword of Bunker Hill.
