Who Discovered America.
From the New York Times.]

[FrOm the New York Times.]
A Wall street broker laid wager the other
day that Christopher Columbus discovered
the continent of North America, and, of
course, lost it. 1t is surprising how many
intelligent persons entertain the same error.
Knowing that be discovered a number of ISL
ands in the western hemisphere, they think
that he must of necessity have discovered
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 re-
mote parts of Asia. Amerigo Vespucci, aft
er whom North and South America is named,
did not discover this continent proper either.
The land be discovered lay near the equator,
and he, too, was deluded with the notion that
it was portion of Asia. John Cabot was
the discoverer of North America (some time
in May, 149D, which he likewise supposed
to belong to the dominions of the Grand
Cham. He sailed along the coast for three
hundred leagues, and went ashore, without
finding any human beings, though he believed
the country inhabited. It is remarkable that
the three great discoverers of the Western
World should have been Italians: Columbus
having been born in Genoa, Vespucci in Flor
ence, and Cabot presumably in Venice. The
birth of Cabot is uncertain. IS are his age
and the place and time of his death. But the
fact that the license granted him by Henry
VII. calls him Kabotta, Venetian, would
seem to determine the question of his ma

AN EDITORIAL LIBEL.
The Libel OF the New YORK Express on
Louis j. Jennings.


[From the New York Telegram, April 3Oth.]
Louis J.. Jennings, formerly editor-in-c
of the New York Times, but now a resident
of London, has entered suit against the New
York EcenSng Eapress association for libel,
claiming that by IA defamatory article his
reputation has been damaged so greatly that
he wants a judgment against the defendants
for $780, The Erpress is owned by Eras-
tus Brooks, Augustus Schell and John Kelly,
all of whom are made defendants. Mr.. Jen-
nings says in his complain that he is a sub
ject of Great Britain, but has property and
business and social connections in this city.
Several years ago he married a young Amer
ican lady Madame HerefordD residing here,
and several children were born to them in
New York. He has long been known as
gentleman of good character and good re-
pute, and as Journalist has an honorable
name. On the 9th of March last the Erpress
printed the following ut was notorious
that Mr.. George Jones's cockney editor
George Jones being one of the editors and
proprietors of the New York Times was in
the habit of beating his young and delicate
wife, after her money was exhausted by him
and after he had pawned her jewelry. 1t
was notorious that the said cockney editor
gave checks on banks where be had no
money, and he committed many other disrep-
utable things" Mr.. Jennings has engaged
Messrs. Fullerton, Knox & Crosby to carry
on his suit.

IF, as we will not anticipate, the United
States is destined to go through a social crisis
Of this kind, We shall doubtless hear again
as we used to hear fifteen years ago, good
deal about the evil effects of Democratic in
stitutions. If, however, it is weakness of
the institutions like those Of America to give
tolerant encouragement to all sorts of expert
ments in social and political organization; it
is their strength to be able to survive them,
to profit by their success, and to be little
worse for their failure. The fabric Of Amer
ican society is so strong it can sustain With
little or no injury shocks which would be
fatal to weaker and more effete institutions.
In the United States freedom of discussion
is the safety valve through which a great
deal of superfuous political steam escapes.
Americans have political sagacity enough to
distinguish sharply between Incorporate or
even revolutionary speech and rebellious ac-
ton. They have unbounded toleration for
the one, but nave never shown any great pa
tience of the other. We do not doubt if they
have to deal with any dangerous form of
Communism, they will deal with it effec
lively. The social fabric of the United
States is capable of successfully resisting
such attack as that of any state in the world.

printed with perfect prOpriety:
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, April II, 1878. J
My DEAR SIR You entirely misconceive
the action of Congress on the timber ques-
ton. The Senate and House are quite as
eager to prosecute the ''thieves'' as is the Sec
retary of the Interior. But the Senate and
House have declared that the settlers in the
Territories who cut their wood on the unsur-
veyed public lands (where no timber lands
are open to purchase), shall not be regarded
as ''thieves," and they have prohibited Secre-
tary Schurz from continuing his ill-judged
and oppressive raids upon these deserving
frontiersmen. had the honor to draft this
provision law which the Senate adopted by
vote of 42 to 4, and which the House con-
Cured in by an absolutely unanimous vote.
So that on the only issue had with Mr..
Schurz was sustained by an overwhelming
vote of both Republicans and Democrats.
The report to which you refer, that declar-
ed it ''reproach to Mr.. Schurz that be was
born in Prussia is too absurd to notice with
serious contradiction. 1t is to be treated only
with contempt. Very hastily and sincerely.

Some one has written beautifully to the

whole sermon in a few sentences: ''Of all

surpass the true love of the big boy for his
mother. 1t is pure love and noble honor
able in the highest degree to BOTH do not
mean merely dutiful affection. l mean Il
love which makes boy gallant and courte-
Gus to,h his mother, saying to everybody plainly
that he is in love with her. Next TO the love
of husband, nothing so crowns woman's
life with honor rs this second love, this de-
votion of a son to her. And I never yet
knew a boy to turn out bad who began by
falling in love with his mother. Any man
may fall in love with fresh-faced girl, and
the man who is gallant with the girl may
cruelty neglect the worn and weary wife.
But the boy who is lover of his mother in
her middle age is true knight. who will
love his wife as much in the sere-leafed au-
tumn as he did in the daisied spring time

"A M ur&aerer'S Brain.

An autopsy has been held by the medical
faculty upon the body of Steenburgh, the
murderer, at which it was discovered that the
brain weighed so ounces; Ruloff's weighed
SO ounces; Cuvier's brain, which is the max
imum brain, weighed 65; Webster's g.; Alb
ercrombie's, 63. The minimum weight brain
is 30 ounces. The average between the max
imum and minimum is AZ ounces, while the
general average of mankind is so ounces.
Notwithstanding this large measurement
around the brain, the upper lobes of the
brain were very small, as in Rulof, and the
lower part large, showing him to have been
merely an animal. Ruloff, in the upper por-
ton of the brain, which directs the higher
moral and religious sentiments, was very de-
ticient. In the formation of the brain, he
was merely a ferocious animal, which is ex-
actly the case with Steenburgh.

Bridging the Ocean.

From the San Francisco Alta1
In an age which has developed railroads,
telegraphs and telephones, iron-clads and
Gatling-guns, one must never be surprised at
novelties, nor diStrusttul of their success.
And yet, for boldness of idea blended with
possible beneficial results, the scheme of DR..
j. G. Tucker, endorsed by Professor David
son and other gentlemen, who combine
with practical knowledge, is one well worthy
of notice. The Doctor proposes to establish
a series of way stations across the atlantic
Ocean, by anchoring to baoys, specially
adapted for this purpose, vessels equidistant, !,
which may be used as coaling- stations, halt,
g-places for the sea- sick and trayel-wearied,
life, property and survey stations, and me-
teorological observatoriee They will be
connected with telegraphic and telephonic
wires, and will be utilized as light-sbips, by
the means of electric lights. Dr.. Tucker
proposes to interest all nations in his novel
undertaking. and anticipates that substantial
donations Of ships and materials will help to
float these homes Of the distressed mariner
upon the ocean highway. He also proposes
that by means of treaties, they shall enjoy
an immunity from attack in case of war.

In his Fast Day lecture the Rev. Edward
Everett Hale made the following practical
remarks:
MY own conviction gains strength every
year, that the public schools must return to
the old New England plan. of only six
months book study in the year, the plan on
which Daniel Webster, Fisher Ames, Rufus
Choate and others of the giants were edu-
Gated. Let your boy or girl study we'll for
three months in winter. For the next quar-
ter take them from the book-school. Let the
girl be with her mother in the household.
Let the boy be with his father if he can help
in the shop; let him be in the technical school
if he cannot help there. When this has con-
tinued for three months, let them go back to
the book. school. The old New England ex-
perience, the half-time experience of the
English factories, and the observation of all
men who work their brains, are the vouchers
that you will thus gain the maximum of ply
sical and mental health. You solve every
difficulty as to technical education. Your
schoolhouses are no longer crowded. And
when your boys and girls come to the age of
responsibility they will know something about
life"
