Where Did Columbus Land?

Hdaper's for November has an article
on the Bahamas, which says: g. In all
probability, it was not Cat Island which
Columbus named San Salvador, but
Watling's Island "a smaller isle little
more to the southwark and eastward.
The facts in the case are these Con-
trary, probably, to the general opinion,
it has never been definitely known which
was the island entitled to the honor !;
but about fifty years ago, when histori-
ans were busy with the history of Co.
lumbus, they undertook to settle the
question by comparing his journal with
the imperfect charts Of the Bahamas
then existing. Navarette fixed on Turks
Island, which later investigation has
proved to be erroneous, while Irving,
supported by the strong authority of
Humboldt, argued for Cat Island, and
since then this has been generally &C
copied as San Salvador, and is so desig-
mated on our charts to this day. But
tire English reversed their opinion some
time ago, and transferred the name of
San Salvador to Watling's Island, and
it will be so found on their latest charts
The reasons for this change seem con-
elusive. Lieut.. Beecher, Of the English
navy, proves conclusively that Cat
Island cannot be San Salvador, and
that Watling's Island answers the con-
ditions required better than any other
island lying in the track of Columbus.
His two strongest reasons against Cat
Island are that Columbus states that he
rOWed around the northern end in one
day. The size of Cat Island makes this
physically impossible there, while it is
quite feasible at the other island. He
also speaks of large lake in the in
terror. There is no such water ON Cat
Island, while such lake does exist on
Watling's Island"

A Highlander at Sea.

On one occasion a Highlander sailed
in the packet from Aberdeen to Gran
ton. It was the first time that Donald
had been on board ship, and the novel
scene interested him greatly. So long
as the vessel was in smooth water he en-
ioyed the sail very much, but ere long a
squall came on, causing the ship to
pitch and roll in a manner which to
Donald was very alarming. Irritated
by being bumped about, and suffering,
beside, from certain disagreeable sensa-
tions, he made his way to the deck to
find out the cause Of the ships bad be-
havior. Arrived there, he. was taking a
survey OF the scene, when his eye light
ed on the steersman. The latter did
not work by the wheel, but by the old
fashioned, long-handled, rudder, and,
after cycling his proceedings for min.
ute, the cloud of wrath on the High
lander's brow grew black as night.
Ho advanced toward the steersman in
a stealthy way, and the instant he was
within reach knocked him down by a
blow with his fist, exclaiming, as he
did SO, "Tak' that, you villain, fol
kittlin' her tail wi that stick, and

The Watch on the Nile.

. A Cairo correspondent writes under
date of Sept. 16: GA visit to the Nile
at the present moment we'll repays the
trouble and inconvenience of a few
hours journeying through the dust and
heat, and, during the last ten days,
excursions to Kabr- Zeiat, Damietta, and
other places have been very frequent.
Thousands of fallaheen (peasants) are
constantly employed in Watching the
river, heaping up earth and stones on
the embellishments, and strengthening
weak points, as they appear, against an
overflow and inundation. At night the
whole length of the river below Cairo is
Illuminated by innumerable watch
fires that throw an uncertain light, on
the swarthy, half-naked multitudes that
line it's banks, while the cries of the
soldiery, as they urge the people on to
renewed labor-like the taskmasters of
ancient times = mingled with the sound
Of the rushing waters, complete a spec
tacle that once seen can never be for
gotten, and the knowledge that the fate
of thousands depends on the issue OF
the struggle going on adds solemnity
to a scene that must be witnessed to be
appreciated arm a60a1aq

A MethOdicaI SchOOlmaster.

A schoolmaster in Suabia has just
retired after teaching, or at least fog
ging and torturing, for ifty-one years.
He would have to be put in class by
himself, entitled the g Statistical Flog-
ger, )" for he kept an accurate account of
all the punishments he inflicted through
out the half-century. Here are The
grand totals, which he has footed up
with equal pride and particularlity !:
Nine hundred and eleven thousand five
hundred canings, 121, 1000 foggings,
100000 custodies, 10000 ear boxes,
22,700 tasks, 1876 tips with rule, 700
boys caused to stand on peas, 5000 to
stand on sharp-edged wood, 5000 to
wear the fools-cap, 1,700 to hold the
rod total, 1882, 936 cases of punish
ment. This is an average of about 100
day, or more than one every five
minutes. He must have thrashed the
boys, on many occasions, by platoons.
One can imagine him getting so alb
sorbed In his growing census of martyrs
that he would often mutter to himself
on Saturday morning, running his eye
down the column and adding it, "I
must fog sixty -four to-day, in order to
make up an even five hundred this week. +"

Secret Assassinations in South America.

A Buenos Ayres paper says An
important discovery has just been made.
For some time past well-known9 resi-
dents in San Isidro have frequently dis
appeared without any thing being subse-
quently heard oflthem. A train from
the north recently left a case at the San
Isidro station, and the persons to whom
it was consigned Immediately applied
for it, and left for farm in the neigh
borhood, on which there is solitary
house. Rumors of revolution which
had been current led the Justice of the
Peace to be on the qati vS0e, and, hap
pening to notice the case, he imagined
/ it might contain arms for the use of
some of the suspected rebels. He there
fore ordered some policemen to follow
the case and examine it on it's arrival
at it's destination. i 1t was carried into
the house through doorway 50 narrow
that entrance even one at a time was
difficult. They found themselves in a
narrow and short hallway, and, pushing
on, entered, a room about five yards
square, in which, were a, number Of
skeletons and bones, and other human
remains. On the wall in the end was
an inscription in italian, meaning $50
die all traitors. Another small room
was then examined, and a large cellar.
Nothing remarkable was found in the
first, but in the cellar large number
of stilettoes, daggers, knives, pistols,
and other murderous weapons, were
found. On many of these instruments
the same inscription, so die3all trait
ors, was found, and it may not be out
of place to remember that the same
words were found on the dagger which
some years ago caused the death Of the
Italian Consul in Buenos Ayres.3 The
cellar was also full of bones, and among
them the head of woman was OBJ
served to which the hair still adhered. {"

The FOOTPRINTS of Time.

Wrinkles are the first tell-tales Of a
lost youth, and the wrinkles make their
way in very stealthy manner. At first
there comes faint marking of one little
line about the corner of the eye, and one
at each side of the mouth. Assuredly
it is the sign of approaching age, we
say complacently, looking at ourselves
in the glass, conscious of our attrac-
tons in theperfectiono of their maturity.
That little line, Indicative of the fur
rowed future, is no more age than the
one scarlet leaf of the maple in the
midst of the green wood in autumn.
It is the shadow of the herald if you
will; but it is not the real thing. And
so on with all the rest But it is not SO
with our friends. The gap made be-
tween the past and present by years of
absence is abrupt, unexpected. You
left blooming, sleek-haired, slim
wasted girl; you find faded, hollow
eyed, gray-haired woman, the mother
of children, afflicted with bad health and
tired of life. Or you encounter stout
and forid matron whose bulk is a bur
den to herself and a matter not for adj.
miration to her friends; whose early
shyness has worn off and gives place to
a free-and-easy good nature that may
be genial but is vulgar; whose girl1sh
seutimentality has gone with her bushes,
and who now openly proclaims her de-
votion to champagne and lobster salad
as among the few things in life worth
taking trouble for, and talks of the
pleasure of the palate as superior to
every other enjoyment. To be sure,
pairing away in your minds eye those
superfuous layers of flesh, you can
make out the nose of the past, and the
lips have the same curve as hers had in
the days when you would have given a
months salary for kiss the eyes are
the same color, but what has become of
their sparkle =? Where is that roguish
twinkle that made your heart leap when
it flashed upon you, giving point to a
girlish sauciness that was so innocent
and she thought SO naughty? Where
is that dewy, downcast look that was SO
conscious where there was nothing to
blush for? Is it that ugly leer which
tells of less tenderness of sentiment
than you would like to see In man
You must accept this as the 3" survival"
it is all you will have of the sweetness,
the bashfulness, that once seemed to
you the most exquisite grace on earth.

Henry Wilson on SpirituaIism,

Vice President Henry Wilson arrived
at the Grand Central Hotel late Satur-
day night from Springfield, ILL.,, whittier
he had gone to attend the unyeiling
of the Lincoln memorial monument.
Last evening he chatted pleasantly with
a World reporter about his reported
belief in the doctrines of Spiritualism.
The conversation was as follows: Tl1
81 am not believer in Spiritualism,
but believe it is reported generally
that I am. !. 'a
'"And what has given rise to that be-
lief p, ,h2ih8 : 77o Ioa ,ss.F g ho'iAt'
EianIsbelieve that it originated from my y
attendance at a Spiritualists meeting in
Philadelphia last summer.' ~ Z
~" May I ask why you attended that
meeting ~
Ia cit was simply accidental on my
part. The story is this One day last
summer, while in street In Philadel-
phia, I stumbled across George w.
Childs and Mr.. Drexel; they told me
they were going to attend Spiritralist
meeting and asked me to go with them.
I went. y = - e51 a,I51E@
Ea" And what was done at the meeting?"
The usual manifestations seen at
such meetings, and, I presume, it was
from this attendance that was reported
to be a believer"
"Were you impressed with what you
saw p. - ...o
"Well, no not exactly. { have seen
much more skillful manifestations in the
West. The proceedings at that meet
ing were not very clever, on the whole.
Of course, some Of the manifestations
we could partly explain. / have, how
ever, attended seances where some of
the things performed were quite marvel
GUS and hardly explainable, but have
no doubt that they can all be explained
by flesh and blood reasoning but at
this particular seance at Philadelphia
nothing exactly extraordinary occurred,
except an amusing episode. An ex-
tended spirit was shown to rise out of
box, when I jumped forward and
grasped the hand of the spirit, when, to
my surprise, the hand felt just like
yours (grasping the writer's hand and
giving it tight squeeze). I know it was
not spirit, it gave two such fesh-and-
blood-struggles (rather strong tugs, too)
to disengage itself from my hands. I
am satisfied it was not a spirit, and SO
were Childs and Drexel, who saw the
sudden Jerks the spirit gave, and we had
quite a good laugh over it when we came
out. I suppose that the report Of my
belief will prove to be as spiritual as the
spirit hand that tried to escape from my
grasp. AS 1 have said, a number
of manifestations that I have seen,
to the observer can hardly be explained,
but 7 am satisfied that their plausibility
can be reasonably explained away when
thoroughly investigated"
Mr.. Wilson said that his general
health was very good, and that he was
surprised to find that he had gained
more flesh in one year than his physi-
clan thought he would pick up in twice

A Great SneeZer.

The only thing that Earl Russell ever
did greatly was to sneeze. His achieve
ment in that line was thus decribed by
a biographer "This remarkable man
seemed to concentrate himself for gil
gantic effort, would be bent nearly
double by the force of the explosion,
and would then dive down into the
flaming banner of red silk. from which.
after several minutes observation. he
emerged with a countenance as vivid as
the back of scalded lobster" The
