Popping THE QUESTION

Will you tell us grandpa, what
they mean by popping the question:
You wish me to tell you what the
question is, and how to pop it. You
are like King Nebuchadnezzar, who
required the wise men to tell him
what his dream was, which he had for
gotten, and likewise the Interpretation
oft. l for once will indulge your in
quisitiveness.
The question may be put in five
words; evil you be my wifeP" or
turning it, "end for end: "Will
you be my husbandY"
Why, grandpal Do women ever
pop the question:
Yes, sometimes, Read the Book Of
Ruth, and there you have an example
of a young widow asking Boaz, q
clever old bachelor, we suppose, to
marry her and he, being law-abidine
man accepted the situation.
In the twenty-fourth chapter Of
Genesis we read an account of Isaac
who though forty-years of age, waited
for his father to send his faithful
servant to say Abigail; "David sent
us unto thee, to take thee to him to
wife, And sho went-not riding on
q camel as Rebekah did, but on q
much smaller animal,
! like the plain-spoken address Of
the Quaker: ~ am come to see if ]
can agree with thee to be my wife"
You boys may think il would bo
very easy to ask q question 80 simple.
Whom you are little older you may
tryit, and worry likely you will begin
"Would you be willing. Mother
says / nlight--. May I hope.
would like" and then tho words
stick in your throat
Well, grandpa, will you please tell
as how you popped the question:
Pshaw children, if you think did
not pop it right, go and ask Grandma

nInrm-pLAon oV coLuIBUs.

Tradition makes Cogoleto, a small
town few miles from Genoa, the
birthplace Of Columbus, and there is
az inscription which marks the house
of his reputed birth. Itmay be true,
and il may be talae-for, in this land
oftradition and superstition, it is as
easy to fabricate a tradition as an in
scription-- and credulity is as ready
to believe that it as old as Adam.
The house of his father was in the
suburbs OF Genoa, as IS shown by the
deed. He, himself, says he was born
in Genoa, an expression which may
we'll mean the territory, and not the
city. of Genoa. There is, then, some
color for the tradition, and it is not
worth while to dig deeper to find
doubts. He was Liguarian, and
nothing could be more likely to
sharpen his curiosity and suggest a
life Of adventure than to look out
from these rocky highlands upon the
mediterranean washing the field at its
base, and covered with the little, but
daring and genterprising corsairs of
the Levant, the Grecian Archipelago,
and the African coast.
How time sets things right Brought
home in chains, robbed in his lifetime
Of his honors and profits, and the
name of another given to his discover
les. Time has written bis name
"with iron and lead in the rock tor
ever" His jealous and triumphant
enemies, as well as his royal patrons
and enterprising followers in the path
of discovery are remembered; but
when wecall them up from the land of
shadows there is always in the midst
OF them, and before them, the great
Genoese with glory about him, in
the light of which they shine with a
pale ray. So it will be forever.
He went on when every other
would have given up in despair. He
gave New World to the kingdoms
Of CASTLE and Aragon. But CASTLE
and Aragon and all the progeny OF
their descendant commonwealth are
dwindllng and fading away, and a
race, never akin to the old Lignarian
-"the world-seeking Genoese'-is,
from year to year, devoating the New
World to the great commonwealth
of freedom and mutuality.

MORE BAYoNErs. In every instance
where the authority of the Depart
ment of Justice has been called into
requisition in the Southern States,
Attorney General Williams has ad-
yocated and employed brute force.
He seems to forget everything except
the right of the Government to
coerce citizens rebelling against it's
authority. And if anybody holding
to primitive views of Constitutional
law suggests that the people Of the
South are not rebels, he answers
that they were rebels once, anyway.
To him the army is a sovereign rem
edy for curing Southern disorders.
II is not surprising, therefore, that
he argued vehemently yesterday, at
a Cabinet meeting, for more troops
in the South.
The Washington Chronicle and the
Chicago Aater-Ocean are the only dis
ciples of this doctrine, among news
papers, that we can think oil just
nova It is not SO strange that Bris-
tow and Jewell should give no opin-
ion on the matter. It may be true
that more bayonets are needed in the

ber elections. We wish the Attor-
