Don Diego, rose to the distinction Of

visited America, but, subsequently,
traversed the whole of Europe and

Africa He appeared to have been
. profound scholar and thoroughly
good man. In his will he stipulated
that his library, containing twenty
thousand volumes, which he gave to
the Cathedral OF Seville, should be
free to tho people, and it is to this
day. From books in this collection,
the late Washington Irving obtained
. considerable portion Of tho infor-
nation ON which his "Life of Colum-
bus" was founded. The following
quaint epitaph, almost obliterated by
time, appears on the tablet which
marks the site Of his tomb: "What
doth it profit to have sprlnkled the
whole world with my sweat; to have
three times crossed tho New World
discovered BY my father to have
embellished the shores of tranquil
