DISCOVERY OF COLUMBUS

The Remains of the Great Admiral
Claimed to Have Been Pound in the
Historic Cathedral of santo Domingo

From the "Patria" OF santo Domngo1
The accidental discovery 10 one of the
vaults or tombs Of the cathedral of the re-
mains OF Don Luis Columbus, first duke of
Eeraguas. and who was captain general Of
this island from 1910 to l543, gave force to
the popular tradition that those of his an
cestOr, the dlscoverer of the new world, al
SO rested IN this temple, and induced the
authorities to make careful investigation
on the 10th OF this month, which has re-
suited 10 clearing up historical fact and
10 demonstrating the power of Divine Prov
idence. The result of the investigation is
the discovery that the remains of Christie.
pher Columbus were deposited in the
chancel OF the cathedral, on the gospel side,
and below the archiepiscopal canopy. 1t
was resolved that the authenticity of this
astonishing fact should be established 10 a
solemn manner and with all possible
seriousness.
The ceremony took place on the same
day 1.-THE l0th)a o'clock in the afternoon,
10 the presence of the principal ecclesiasti-
cal, civil, and military authorities, and a
large c0ncourse of enthusiastic admirers OF
the glories of the great discoverer. The
sepulchre being opened with due respect,

rhe Situation in New xorl.

In the great tournament TO take place in
New York next month the political prize
for which the two great parties are girdiDg
on their Armor, will be the state senate.
In that state, as is well known, peculiar
political state Of affairs exists. The dem
ocrats may elect their state ticket by a
large majority, and yet the republicans
may elect aIlarge majority to the legisla
ture. This arises from the unequal appor.
tionment of which we have heard 80 much,
and to remedy which, the democrats will
put forth all their strength in the coming
contest; for the democrats not alone are
anxious TO give Governor Robinson sen
ate in accordance with his political predi
lections, but on the result depend the
choice OF U. s. senator to succeed Roscoe
Conkling, whose term expires March 4th
1879, and the senate to be chosen this yea
will have the choice of his successor, il
conjunction with the assembly which is Il
be voted for next year. With the repub
licans, headed by Roscoe Conkling, tn,
possession Of the senate means absolute
victory. It's loss will trail in the dust tn
banner Of the Utica statesman planted 8
derisively 10 the face of the administration
at Rochester. If the democrats SHOULD
gain control of both branches Of the legisla
ture in 1878, an apportionment bill vii
undoubtedly be passed which will Civ
them the power to select their own candi
dates for senate and assembly for an in
definite period in the future. Here then
is where the real battle of the campaigl
will be fought, and Conkling has evidentl.

The Municipal council of Paris propose
to name street in that city Rue Wash.
burne, after our late minister to France.
The glory is great aud will be fully
appreciated by the Illinois statesmen.
The glory is great, we repeat, but alas
we fear it will be ephemeral. The earliest
token of a revolution in Paris is the alter
ing of street signs; and then, when the
political crisis is over, new changes are in
order. When the empire falls, down come
the boards reading Avenue de pEmpereur
and de pImperatrice. When the republic
iscrushed out, we hear the last of Place de
la Fraternite or du President, as the case
may be. There is a street 10 Paris which
has been called within few years Tenth
December street, Fourth September street,
Blanqui street. and Morse street; and who
can tell but what, if the MacMahonites are
successful, it may be, before the end of the
year, May Sixteenth street. Let Mr..
WashburDe, then, enjoy his signboard
celebrity while he may, lest it be short
lived. But the ex-minister need never
fear that Rue Washburne will become Rue
Moves.

proceeded to draw up solemn declaration,

foreign paper with which we preface our
declaration in order that it may be seen
that the fragment of a coffin exhumed in
1895 had no inscription whatever such as
proves the authenticity of the present dis
covery. Three notaries having drawn up
this document, which was attested by all

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites of the toilet Is good
article of Soap but to procure 1t lie not always an
easy matter. Many Of tile most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleter0us
materials and their delicate cOlOrng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
purities. The disclosures recently made pubic
regarding this subject positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable. especial
" IL applied to the head njuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement Of gentlemen who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his business he recently declared that
persons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven TO ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last Obvlated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
b. T. Babbitt, of New York, the wOrld-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by far the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Babbitt's various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest success is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After wears of patient labor and scientific expert
ment Mr. Bahbitt has succeeded in perfecting the
composition of the hrest toilet soap ever intro
oueed. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department Of industry.
= 'B. 7. Rabbits Toilet Soap" is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury Is designated,
and for applications to the delicate skin of infants
children and ladies' it is altogether unequaled in its
emolient properties. This Soap is not perfumed,
the Ingredients being of such absolute purity to
require no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers the
absence Of artificial perfume the perfection of
sweetness aud this peculiar characteristic of B. T
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders 1t the most healthful
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufae-
| tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap equally appropriate for
gentlemen's toilet and as Ii makes heavy lather
1t is also one of the finest soaps for BARRIERS
II is just being placed upon tue market, but the
