4 Terrible Liar.

Major Tom Ochiltree, whose equine
namesake, by the way, was again sue
cessful at Saratoga recently, is the snb-
ect of this story. During the war he
was aide-de-camp on the staff of Gen.
Dick Taylor, and was sent to carry des-
patches to Richmond, reporting Sc
we're engagement in Arkansas. He was
compelled TO cross down into Texas in
order to make his way through the Fed
eral lines. One night he stopped at a
fine mansion in northern Texas. The
only members of the family at home
we're an old lady and her young and
lovely daughter. The son Of the lady
Of the hJAse was absent in the COnfed-
crate army. Toms Confederate uni
form secured him hospta'sle reception.
The lady had heard rumors Of a great
battle having been fought,and was anx-
ious to obtain tidings Of her son, and
finally, after Tom had given Il glowing
description of the battle, she hestating-
ly inquired if he knew of young officer
named - in the army.
Know him, madame cried Tom;
'why, he was my bosom friend; we were
intimate as brothers; in the heat Of bat
tie he fell by my side; was with him
during his last moments; he breathed

lady stared at him wildly for a moment;
then she cried, My sonn and fell faint

Who pIsesvsred America.

A Wall-street broker laid a wager
the other day that Christsper Columbus
discovered the continent si Norlh
America. and, Of course, lost 1t. 1t Is
surprising lew many intelligent persons
entertain the same error. Knowing
that he discovsreda number OF Islands
N the Western Hemisphere. they think
that he must ofnecessity have discey'
cred this continent also. They forget
that he died in ignorance OF the real
grandeur Of his achievement, believing
Cuba. Terra Firma, and the other lands
he had found TO be remote parts oi ASA
Amerso vespucci, after whom North
and South America IS named, did not
discover this continent proper either
The land lie discovered lay near the
equator, and he, too, was deluded w'th
the notion that it was portion OF Asa.
John Cabot was the discoverer OF North
America [some time IN May l49'J.
which he likewise supposed to belong
to .be dominiens OF the Grand Cham.
He sailed along the cost for 500 leagues
and went ashore, without finding any
human beings, though he believed The

that the three great discoverers OF th5
Western world shcnld all have been
