WHO DISCOVERED AMERICAN

This is a great, absorbing question,
just at a time when the Ecumenieal
Council is talking of canonizing Christie
pher Columbus. 1t is a little annoying
to the spirit if the old navigator can
look down. from his adobe above. and
contemplate these things; annoying to
see the prospect of an arrest in the can
~onization business, just as he has got
through waiting three or four hundred
years to be eanonized, now to have the
laurels torn from his brow te be placed
on the shaver front of g greasy China
man. I'VE call him a greasy chinaman
because Congress manifests a disposition
to Withhold the ballot from him..
The Cologne Gazette finds that the
question of the discovery is still open,
and with strong points against Column
bus. The claim is, that Chinese were
here a thousand or more years prior to
the voyage of Columbus. Thereupon
German papers come forward and say
that full twenty-five years ago Professor
Neumann, of Munich, produced proofs
from Chinese sources that the Chinese
were the discoveries. Chinese books
spoke of a land which by description of
locality could have been no other; and
this land was written about thousands of
years ago.
How fortunate this Country was not
named for Columbus. as was contended
for during many years. 1t may turn out
to be Legitimate property of the Chinese,
only forfeited by an abandonment of a
few hundred years. We have somewhere
read a theory which argued that the
North American Indians are descendants
of the Asiatics-and the northwestern
archipelago was cited as the probable
line either of a complete land commune
cation else light-draught boating. The
Indians have many customs, lineaments,
and traditions, to justify the theory of
their Asiatic descent. Who discovered
America?

President Grant has shown a more
extensively positive trait in pressing the
annexation Of San Domingo than IN any
other measure yet presented by him.
We think the President is above any sucn
corruption as is insinuated by the Demo-
cratic Press, for We have never seen any
thing in his character to JUSTIFY the
insinuations in which they indulge; but
he has been imprudently obtrusise in
this matter. He has made it not only
obviously a pet measure Of his admins
tration, but has sought to instate and
strengthen it by %extrnneous means-de-
pending fayors of patronage, we are told
and believe, upon engagements to sup
port his hobby. When the Senate tied
on the question of investigating the con
duct of Gen. Babcock. in connection
with San Domingo negotiations, VICE
President Colfax, elected as a presiding
officer, and constituting a part OF the
Administration, did a bad thing, we
think, as a matter of policy, in NEGATIVE
ing the proposition. The whole course
of the Executive in this matter has
seemed to us notwithstanding more.
Gen. Babcock is one Of the Presidents
staf-a member OF his family. He is
charged with improper conduct, in con-
nection with the negotiation, and while
he is protected from an investigation the
opposition naturally takes advantage to
construe the kindness of the President
to him into evidence of intrigue for per-
sonal advantage. The editor of The Car
son Appeal, personally acquainted with
Babcock. indorses him as a gentleman of
the highest honor, a faithful soldier, with
none but gentlemanly instincts.
Senator Sumner, who vas on several
occasions smoked out of the Executive
presence in the face of all his egotism,
takes occasion to give color to the Demo-
cratic i~nsinuations of corruption; but
Sumner has had his fangs pulled. and
Yields no such influence as formerly.
His Trades are now simply what Gold

The alarm as to counterfeit Mercantile
Library Gift Concert Tickets being in
circulation. is without foundation. 1t
had its origin in a wretched little hoax
over a defaced ticket, which, on being
presented at the Office of the agents, was
pronounced genuine. The method of
identification adopted by the agents of
the Library absolutely precludes the pos
sibility of any false tickets being paid,
and the tickets themselves are by no
means so easy to counterfeit as to enable
swindlers to cheat the public. Most CON-
plete arrangements have been made from
the first to checkmate counterfeiting, and
small apprehension is felt of any attempt
at it. 100, 900 tickets were sold and paid
for in 81 working days.

ADVANTAGES OF CRYISo.-A French
physician publishes a long dissertation
on the advantages of groaning and crying
in general, and especially during surgical
operations. He contends that grooming
and crying are two grand operations by
which Nature allays anguish; that those
patients who give way to their natural
feelings more speedily recover from ncci-
dents and operations than those who
suppose it unworthy a man to betray
such symptoms of cowardice as either to
groan OF cry.
The French physician is right: We
saw a woman crying and tearing so terri.
bly,, at the burial of her husband, thai
all the strength of a stout young man wa,
required to hold her in the carriage. w
thought that woman would never recover
but she did. In about three months
she was married to hat same stout youn,
man. Nothing like a big cry to work OF
a case of grief. The dry-crushing pro
cess is too dusty.
