Things we are Tired OF.

We are tired hearing the girls say they have n
time to read Macauley or Milton, when they wi
set up half the night to find out whether the her
of a red pepper novel gets knocked on the head
or escapes from the shipwreck with his lady lov
and her band-boxes, on a board four inche
square.
We are tired of hearing women complain tina
their husbands don't care so much for them a
they used to, and setting it down to the score o
heartessness, when it is nothing on earth but tn
sour bread aud bhrnt ham at the breakfast table
Knock at the doors of their affection with fry
ing pan and they'll open it fast enough.
We are tired of listening to the outcry of "harc
times from business men, who wonder wher
on earth the money slips to-. when part of it il
leaking out at the top of their head, through
costly Panama hat, and part shut up in a cigar
case in their coat pockets, and part going dowl
their throats in brandy smash"
We are tired of being " brought up short by
pair of heels planted on the trails of our silker
raiment, and still more tired of being transixeC
by the ,scowl of fashionable lady when we ge
swamped among her founces Won't the faiI
sex abbrevate their dresses
We are tired of seeing women box their babies
ears for making such racket with their trum-
pets and drums, and then get the neighborhood
nerves on edge with piano practice and throat
splitting bravauras.
We are tired of the woman who can't talk o.
anything but Bobby's measles and the price Of
silk and starch-we are tired Of the men who
chew tobacco in your face, and pull out their pock-
ct knives to trim their nails while they are talk
ing with you've are tired of the children who
learn French and philosophy at Eve years old,
and converse in four syabled words out of the
dictionary, and don't know what buttercups mean
and we are tired of the old ladies who dress in the
style OF sweet sixteen
Such are some of the things that the editor Of
Life illustrated complains of being tired of, and
ne concludes by asking " Does anybody blame us
for being tired to death of all these thingsP"
Travels of Columbus After his Death.
1t would seem that the body of this illusrious
traveller is destined to as much vicissitude as its
owner had. The New Orleans PicGyl,ne gives
the following interesting account of it:
Columbus died Ascension day, the Goth oi
May 1906 in about the seventeen year of his
age. His obseques were celebrated with great
pomp at Valadod, and his body deposited in
the convent of San Francisco. Thence, nine
years after, in the year 1918, it was removed to
the Carthusian monastery of Seville, where like
wise was deposited the body of his son Diego.
Twenty-three years after, in the yeal 1886, the
bodies of both the Admiral and his son were re-
moved, with appropriate pomp and ceremc nies,
to the New World he had discovered, and in
tered in the principal city of San Domingo His
PAMELA. There they remained undisturbed for
a period of 259 years.
In the year 1895, however, at the close of the
war between France and Spain, all the Spanish
possessions in the island of Hispanolia were ceded
to France, wher' upon a request was preferred
to the French Governor to have the remains OF
Columbus removed to Cuba. The request was
granted, and on the 24th of December, 1875, the
vault in the Cathedral of San Domingo was for
the first time in nearly three hundred years
opered. Within says the record of the event.
were found the fragments of leaden coffin, a
number of bones and quantity of mould, eyi-
d, ntly the remains of a human body. These
were carefully collected and put into a case Of
gilded lead, about half an ell in length and
breadth, and third in height secured by an
iron lock, the key of which was delivered to the
Archbishop. The case was enclosed in coffin
covered with black velvet and ornamented with
lace and fringe of gold.
After appropriate funeral ceremonies, the
body was taken on board the ship San Lorenzo
and taken to Havana, where it arrived on the
10Th of January 1885, 1t was received in the
most solemn manner, with all the honors given
to a sovereign. On arriving at the MOLE the re
mains were met by the Governor of the Island, ac-
cOmpanied by his general and military staff. The
coffin was then conveyed between files of sol
dery which lred the streets, to the obelisk, in
hearse prepared for the purpose. Here the re-
mains were formally delivered to the Governor
ard the Captain General Of the Island, the KEY
given up to him, the coffin opened and examined
and the safe transportation of its contents au-
thentlcated."
The ceremony concluded, the solemn rites fol
the dead were performed by the Archbishop
and the remains of the great dscoverer were
again deposited in the wall, on the grand ALTA
of the Cathedral of Havana, where they hav,
ever since remained, the object of reverence tC
all visitors of the Island.
The remains are about to be removed to
splendid new cemetery at Havana.
