A Wall street broker laid wager the
other day that Christopher Columbus
discovered the continet OF North Amer
ica and, OF course, lost it. 1t is surpris-
ing how many intelligent persons enter
tain the same error. Knowing that he
discovered a number OF islands in the
western hemisphere, they think that be
must of necessity have discovered this
continent also. They forget that he died
in ignorance of the grandeur of his
achievement, believing Cuba, Terra
Firma, and the other lands he had found
to be remote parts of Asia. Amerigo
Nespucci, after whom North and South
America is named, did not discover this
continent proper either. The land he
discovered lay near the equator, and he,
too, was deluded with the notion that it
was q portion OF Asia. John Cabot was
the discoverer of North America (sonIe
time in May, l447), which he likewise
supposed 10 belong to the dominioDs Of
the Grand Cham. He sailed along the
coast for three hundred leagues, aud
went ashore, without finding any
human being, though he believed the
country inhabited. 1t is remarkable
that the three great discoveries of the
Western world should all have been
Italians, Columbus having been born
in Genoa, Vespucci in Florence, and
Cabot, presumably, in Venice The birth
of Cabot is uncertain, as are his aye and
the place and time of his DEATH But
the fact that the license granted to him
by Henry VII calls him KabOtto, Nene.
tan, would seem to determine the ques.
ton OF his nativity. The discoveries
had sorry fortune. Columbus, as we
are aware, was treated with the blackest
ingrstitude by the King of Spain.
When the officers OF the vessel in which
he was carried a prisoner to Spain offered
to remove his chains, imposed upou him
by royal order, he replied, will wear
them as reminder OF the gratitude Of a
princess He died, as every body knows,
neglected, in extreme poverty, Of
broken heart. Nespucci had many trials
and died poor, ana Cabot fell into ,uch
obscurity that no ne can tell where or
when or how he died. Surely the augu.
ries attendant on the birth of the western
world were not tavorab e, and in a
superstitious age might have led to the
belief that It's history would never be
marked by good fortune. - New York

Every now and then we stumble upon
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT people whom we can
scarcely approach without giving otiense
in some way, Such people are ia astate
of chronic Stliiction, somebody is always
coming short in treatment of them. II
YOU look at them it is stare; if you 90
not look at them it is slight. There is
no safe way with the over sensitive but
A STRAIGHTFORWARD one. II you try to
avoid one corn, you are sure to tread on
another. The suspiciOusIy-exacting
person is one Of fine'spun ingenuity
He can piece your words into a seDss
van never dreamed Of; he can make q
chain Of circumstantial evidence strong
enough to hang you from occurrences
the most innocent. Almost everything
YOU do has suspicious meaning. Now,
the highest sort of gentleman is one
who can overlook such ungentlemanliuess
in others. A pOliteuess that stands ever
on the watch to exact an equal pollteness
in return is more annoying than a
generous rudeness. No man is more
uncomfortable than he who not only
weighs his words an6 gestures, and
measures the exact significance Of his
smiles aud frowns, but who makes you
feel that he is also weighing and measur'
ing vour motions. Such one may
think himself gentleman, but he is
only social collector of customs IN a
Ventlemans she'll. A true gentleman is
not p careful To keep the balance even.
