Columbus and the savans.

This interview was to the enthusiastic
adventurer an hour of intense yet solemn
exaltation. Deeming himself the Heaven
chosen instrument for the most important
OF earthly enterprises, even the splendors
OF royalty could not daszlo him. The
King, shrewd, sagacious, and ambitious,
was excited by the idea of discoveries and
acquisitions which would place Spain in
the foreground of all the nations. With
characteristic caution he declined forming
any judgment himself, but appointed a
council Of the most learned astronomers
and cosmographers Of the kingdom to
hold an interview with Columbus, care
fully to examine his plan and report their
opinion. The conference was held in
large hall in the old convent of St. Ste
phens, at Salamanca. The assembly, CON.
vened by royal missives, was imposing in
numbers and in dignity Exalted func-
tionaries of the Church, professors in tho
universities, and statesmen of high rank,
presented an array which must have over.
awed any plain man of ordinary capacity.
Columbus, simple mariner, with unaf-
fected majesty of demeanor and of utter
ance, and with every fibre of his soul
vibrating in the intensity of his zeal, pre-
sented himself before his examiners, san=
guine of success. But he soon found to
his extreme chagrin, that learned men
may be full of prejudice and bigotry.
His statements were assailed with citations
from the Prophets and the Psalms. and
with extracts from the religious writings
of the Catholic fathers. The declaration
that the earth was round was declared to
be absurd
Whatn' exclaimed several of these
sages of the fifteenth century, can any
one be so foolish as to believe that the
world is round, and that there are people
upon the side opposite to OURS, who walk
with their heels upward and their heads
hanging down, like flies clinging to the
ceiling That there is part Of the world
where the trees grow with their branches
hanging downward, and where it rains,
halls, and SHOWS upward! %
But the doctrine of Columbus was stig=
matized not only as absurd, but also as
heretical, since to maintain that there we're
inhabitants in those distant lands would he
an impeachment of the Bible, as it was
deemed impossible that any descendant of
Adam could have wandered so far Others,
in the pride of philosophy, with great
complacepcy urged the philosophical OBJ
lection that, admitting the world to bo
round, should ship ever succeed in reach=
ing the other side it could never return,
since no conceivable strength of wind
could force ship up the mountainous ro=
.undity of the globe.-J. S. C. AAbott,

There ohCe was King on his mighty throne
Who ruled with an iron hand,
Ills courtiers trembled and quaked and groaned,
And his subjects fell down at his feet and moaned
For who could his power withstand?
But one there was who defed his will,
And smiled at the despots power,
Said the king-"I will crush this Rebel and kill
Rebellion at once in the bud and fill
His place with better, this hour"
The minon was plunged in dungeons cell.

Cool People.

In the February number of the Galaxy,
writer, discoursing upon this subject,
gives the following illustration of people
whom he thinks were too cool:
l have read of people who were too
calm and complacent. Of such char
acter, think, was the conductor who,
when he ran over man, said he never
liked to DO it, " because it mussed up the
track So"
And speaking Of saws and following this
train of thought, may mention Eoung
man from the country who went into a
hardware store in New York, and rapping
a great buzz saw with his knuckies, re-
marked,
"l had an old dad ripped to pieces with
one of them fellers last week"
L think that young gentleman exhibited
too little emotion for the occasion. It
showing a lack of flial affection only com
parable to that of boy belonging to
primary school in Manchester, New Hamp-
shire, who assured his schoolmates that
he would soon be able to indulge in his
favoritc sport on the river with the best
of them
" Father" said he, "has gone to the
war, and when he gets killed l am going
to have his fish line"
As cool person, under the circum-
stances as ever heard of, was q Young
nobleman, who, in frightful railway ac-
cident, missed his valet. One Of the
guards came up to him and said:
" My Lord, we have found your SER
want, but he is cut in two"
" Aw, is he?" said the Young man,
with Dundreary drawl, but still with
some anxiety depicted on his countenance.
=" Will you be gwood enough to see in
which half he has gwot the key of my
carpet bag?"
To a sensitive mind his anxiety seems to
have been misplaced.
The same Inconsistencies to the awful
aspects of death was exhibited by man
in New Jersey In 1859, who was employ
ed to convey to his friends the body of a
MIR. Wilson, who had died about forty
miles from home of the cholera. On |
fnding the house he knocked at the door,
and the wife of the deceased opened it.
Does Mr.. Wilson live here ?" said
the man.
g Yes," said the lady, "but he is not
ut home to day."
No, know he amt, said the young
man, with soothing tone of voice, think
ng to break the news gently, but he will
De IN minute, cause I've got him here

SHARP PRAoTIcE.-A livery stable
keeper, not thousand miles from Lowell,
Mass. was applied to by a Incorporating
man, for horse and buggy, to go out of
town for the day. He was furnished, and ,
when about to leave, was informed that it
was customary to have deposit left by
strangers. He inquired what the owner
would take for his team, and was told five
hundred dollars, which was Immediately
handed over to the proprietor. On return
ing, the stable-keeper was asked to exam
inc the team, and see if he thought it was
worth as much as when taken in the morn
ing, to which he answered in the affirma
tive, and handed the stranger the identical
five hundred dollars, who Immediately left
for the hotel. The stable-keeper, not hav-
ing realized any profit in the transaction,
followed, and informed him that he had
forgotten TO pay for the use of the team
"What team?" was the reply. 81 bought
horse and buggy of you this morning,
and sold it back to you just now for the
same price. I drove my own team" The
livery man found himself minus the amount
