Jules Maroon, in the March Atlant.c, dis
eusses the origin Of the word America, as
applied to this continent He says there is
a range OF mountains in Nicaragua, "a link
il the chain running from the borders Of
Mackenzie river to Terra del Fuego-which
has long been called by the Indians BY the
name Of Americ, or Amerique. The noun
tains are little known, though the Indians
have long dug gold from their sides, and
they are known as gold region. The in
ference is Columbus visited the coast in his
search for gold, that the Indians told him
and other ipquirers that gold was abun-
dant at Americ, and that the sailors, when
they returned home, speaking of the land
they had visited, called it Americ, or Ameri-
ca. We like this derivation for the name
much better than the standard one which
takes it from that gay and festive old
