JENNY LIND AND THE BIHD. I re-
member of hearing stage drivers stoty
of Jenny Lind when she was riding in
the country. A bird of brilliant plumage
perched on tree near as thee drove slow
ly along, and thrilled out such acomplica-
ton of sweet notes as perfectly astonish-
cd her. The coach stopped and reaching
out she gave one of her finest roulades,
The beautiful creature arched els head
on one side and listened deferentall; then
as if determined to excel his famous ri
val, raised his graceful throat and sang
song of ripping melody that made Jen-
ny rapturously clap her hands in ecstacy
and quickly, as though she was before
severely critical audience in Castle Gar
den, delivered some Tyrolean mountain
strains that sent the echoes flying; where
upon little bride took it up and sang and
thrilled and sang till Jenny, in hapdy de
light, acknowledged that the pretty
woodland warbler decidedly out-caroled
the greater Swedish Nightingale.

gives this pen-picture of Senator Sumner:
Away back on the highest row,as we
used to call it at country school, "a portly
suave, but reserved gentleman is busily
writing. He looks like some Englishman
strayed into the midst of these lank and
nervous Americans. But he is,despite
that, the most thoroughtAmerican in the
United States Senate Such hosts of
papers as constantly come to him, to be
read, endorsed or thrown asidel And the
cards hutter into him like snowbirds a
round a large crumb. If he rises to speak
he has at least twenty things to discharge
from consideration; If he has an argument
to make he cries out, thunderously brief,
in hoarse bass voice, and hurries to gat
down again to werk. No airs, no tetu-
lance, no anxiety to attract attention; the
Senate's father. dignified as patriarch
polished as Gladstone, humane as Bright,
fearless as Theirs; in the full stature and
glow of perfect manhood and statesman.

characteristic caution he declined forming
any judgement himself but appointed a
council of the most learned astronomers
and coslnographers of the kingdom to
hold an interviey with Columbus, careful
ly to axamlne his plan and report their
opinion. The conference was held in a
large hall in the old convent Of Stephens,
at Salamanca. The assembly, convened
by royal mlsslves, was imposing In num-
bers and in dignity. Exhalted function
aries of the Church, professors in the
universities, and statesmen Of high rank,
presented an array which must have over
owed any plain man of ordinary capacity.
Columbus, simple mariner, with unaf-
fected majesty of demeanor and of utter
ance, and with every fibre Of mis- soul
vibrating in the intensity of his zeal, pre-
sented himself before his examiners,
sanguine of success. But he soon found
to his extreme chagrin, that learned men
may be full of prejudice and bigotry His
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.
w lldt oACldluleQ several OF THESE
sages of the fifteenth century, "can any
one be so foolish as to believe that the
world is round, and that these 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 uwpard -
But the doctrine of Columbus was stig-
matized not only as absurd, but also as
heretical, since to maintain that there
was inhabitants in those distant lands
would be an impeachment Of the Bible.
as 1t was deemed impossible that any
descendants of Adam could have wander
ed so far. Others, in the p.ide of phi
losophy, with great complacency urged
the philosophical objection that, admit
ting the world to be round, should ship
ever succeed in reaching the other side it
would never return, since no conceivable
strength of wind could force a ship up
