The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-08-01
ANCIENT AND MODERN EYesIcHT

A curious controversy has lately
sprung up in Germany rs to whether
the eve in the human race has always
possessed the same delicacy rs at pres
ent. and whether men at all epochS
have perceived colors as we now dis
tinguish them. Doctor Magnus. an
occulist, asserts. that primitive man
had only confused notion of tints,
and even did not recognize them all
Thus. the ancients only saw three col
ors in the prism instead of the seven
which exist. and the sages of the
north only speak of three in the rain
bow. The most luminous in the
spectrum. those which act with mo
intensity on the retina, are red,
orange and yellow: blue indigo and
violet only make a feeble impression;
green occupies an intermediate rank.
Well. throughout the records of an
tiquity only the red and yellow. so to
say are spoken of. According to PHI
ny, painters only employed those two
colors. with black and white to pro-
ducc their finest effects. The most
valued ii ssues were dyed solely in red
and yellow. The knowledge of green
does not exist either in Sanscrit liter
aturc or Homer, who in describing
the verdue Of the country. uses cpl
thets relating to other colors. 4 sa-
want. NJ. Geiger, asserts that he has
proved that neither in the poems Of
the Rig-veda nor the Avesta. the BIZ
bic. the verses Of Homer, the Koran.
or the ancient literature Of Finland
of Scandinavia. is any mention Of
blue to be found. In fact, no word is
TO be traced in any Of them to desig-
nate that color. Therefore some peo-
pie must have existed for whom YER
dure was not green. nor the skies
blue. Even at this day. the inhabit-
ants Of Birmah have great difficulty
in making distinction between blue
and green. Mr.. Gladstone whose
knowledge Of Greek is well known. is
wholly of the opinion Of DIR. Magnus.
We have no occasion to say that those
views are strongly contested.

How Victoria Became Engagd.e

There have been published several
newspaper accounts of how the Princess
Victoria brought Prince Albert to the
popping point. The following is the
la>est sketch of that delicate affair. 1t is
not at all like the others. but reads pretty
withal. 1t is by "Ignatius. writer for
the London Figaro:
Certainly the young queen thought
less of England than of marriage. The
ministers would fain have made her
marriage a sort of international traaty.
Beyond all doubt, Victoria was the finest
match In the world. The queen, howev-
er, was full of a host of little projects,
ever shifting and changinglike the little
heaps of sand the children raise in the
garden of the Luxem bourg. She told
her mother she would wed with no one
whom she did not love. The Duchess o .
Kent reported the speech to theministers,
who thought it revolutionary in the ex-
IRENE. Coronation day came, and the
next day the ball at Windsor. Among
the dancers was tall. handsome. slender
student, from the University of Bonn
her cousin, a Coburg, like herself. The
queen noticed him, and Prince Albert
did not return to Bonn. Even had he
not loved he would have stayed: and he
loved. But bis cousin was the queen
Here the woman had to make the ad +
vance. Victoria, deeply touched as she
was by this love. (which was never more
to leave her, could not easily conquer the
maiden timidity due to her severe educa-
ton. Nevertheless the morning came
assure you | invent nothing. Although
the queen has not consented TO relat
these delightful incidents. Prince Albert
has told them To his friends
Nevertheless, then. morning came
They were riding together, he and she.
down the great avenue of oaks~at Wind
sor- These oaks were younger then. but
ola enough already. After a gallop they
found themselves alone We know how
dangerous it Is for man ana woman to
ride together. Suddenly the queen took
a sprig of heneysuckle from her bosom.
and. stopping. offered it to Prince Albert.
Bending to reach it, his lips touched the
