Discovery of Columbus. Anchor.

A curious relic of one of the expedi-
tions which sailed to the West Indies
under the command of Columbus has. it
is stated by Martinique journal, been
recently discovered. On the .4th of
August, 1893, small squadron of three
vessels, under the orders of Christopher
Columbus, was anchored off the SOUTH
western extremity of the Island of Trim
idad. Late at night Columbus it is
related by Washington Irving, suddenly
saw wall of water approaching toward
the feet from the south. His own vessel
was lifted up 50 high by the incoming
wave that he feared it would be either
submerged or dashed ON shore, while the
cable of one of the other ships parted
under the strain to which it was sub
jected. ..-.-. .-.,. ......-
The crews of the vessels gave them
selves up for lost; but after time the
wave which it is surmised must have
been caused by an exceptionally large
body Of water coming suddenly down one
of the rivers flowing into tie Gulf of
Paria, ebbed back again. This sudden
rise of the waters Of the Gulf is men,
toned by Columbus son Ferdinand, who
adds that the feet suffered no damage
save the loss of one anchor. 1t is this
anchor which has now been found; and
strangely enough, it was dug up from a
depth Xix feet below the surface Of the
ground at a spot 872 feet from the near.

Lord Eden as a Sportsman.
Eraser,s Mapaziup1

Of Lord Eldon's attachment to part
ridge-shooting it is unnecessary to speak.
He was a bad shot; and the story of his
Eordship and the poor curate who went
down to Encombe to ask him for living
and found him in the field is too we'll
known to need quotation, The poor man
made himself very useful-marked down
the birds, was very kind to all the Cham
cellor's successful shots and proportion
ately blind to his bad ones-in word,
he made himself so pleasant that Lord
Eldon gave him the living. "And now,"
he used to say, "see how he requited me.
He had hardly taken possession of his
benetice before he sent me large hamper
of game, with letter to the effect that,
from what he had seen of my shooting,
he should suppose that got very little"
Lord Eldon always, by preference, shot
alone, and this not because he was
ashamed of his shooting, but because he
really found it the best way of enjoying
the sport Pitt and Fox seem to have
been much of the same opinion. Angling
has been called the contemplative mans
recreation, but one really hardly sees
why partridge-shooting should not be
called so too.
The angler can not be contemplative
when the fish are rising or biting freely,
nor can the shooter when the birds are
all about him But the old.fashioned
sportsman, who beat for his game with
his dogs and did rot find covy in every
field he entered, had plenty of time to
think as well as to shoot in the course of
days walk. And when you are alone
you are not obliged to be perpetually
watching your companions with view
to their safety or your own--a source of
anxiety which detracts materially from
the pleasure of partridge shooting when
you are not with very old friends indeed,
on whom you can thoroughly depend.
Lord Eldon, who was very fond of dogs,
always made the last day Of the season
jubilee for them. .o.
Pointers, spanels, Newfondlands, ETC.,
of whatever species and in whatever
number they happened to be, were alike
permitted to share in making or marring
the fortunes of the day. We suppose
Pincher, of course, formed one on these
occasions Lord Eldon always shot with
"Joe Manton," singIe-barreled percus-
sion gun, with which, however, he said
he shot worse than he used to do at Ok
ford with his flint and steel, and when he
had no qualification. By the time, he
used to say, that he got qualification
he became disqualified. Lord Eldon, as
we know, shared the convivial tastes of
Walpole, Fox, and Pitt, and perhaps we
might indulge in a third ALTERATION by
calling this article ''Port, Partridges, and
Politics" " without much impropriety.

Most persons conversant with horses
must be aware that certain glands lie Just
under the angles of the two jaws and run
up in the direction of the ear They are
the seat of the affection peculiar to young
animals known under the name of stran-
giles. Now, it is by no means unfre-
quent, especially among the commoner
kind Of horses, to find these glands large
and fabby in their textures. With well.
bred and well-formed animals it is often
very difficult to find them at all under
the skin.
Sometimes the abnormal size of those
glands is evidently constitutional, some
times it is consequence of disease
strangles, for instanee-and sometimes it
arises wholly from the pressure of the
angles of the jaws, especially when these
lie too close together, and the rider or
driver has attempted to force certain
position, either by the use of severe bits,
or, what is still worse. acombination of
these with the bearing-rein in harness.
If such state of things be overlooked or
neglected, very serious consequences may
arise. r-.t.t. 4,s. .. ,.-..,,.
The forced pressure Of the jaw-bone on
these glands is sometimes perfectly ex-
cruciating to the animal, and it has re-
course, to the great astonishment Of its
ignorant rider or driver, to all sorts of
expedients to get rid of the intolerable
pain. It will refuse its work, or run
away, or throw itself down, or rear up,
or do anything or everything in its des-
peration, and the brute on it's back or on
the coach-box knows no other remedy for
it than ito fog the sulk out of him."
whereas the whole thing is probably the
result of bad biting and bridling.

OPERA TOILETS.
Dresses and Fiuery t. be Wsrn at
the Theater. t..,- ..-- /

New York Heraldl -., j
In the days when Jenny Lind sang at
Castle Garden no lady of the old Knick-
erbocker school would have ventured
within hearing of that matchless voice
unless in full evening dress, and the gal
lants of that day considered it only prop
er respect to the talented artistic, no less
than to the ladies whom they escorted,
and were likely to meet while there, to
appear in faultless evening attire.
At the present day fashion is less arbi-
trary, and "all depends upon circum-
stances" as to how much or how little one
shall conform to any set rules in dressing
for opera or theater. If occupying a
box lady is expected to be more elab-
orately dressed than if seated elsewhere.
Full opera toilet does not admit of bon
net, but in this country a reception toilet,
with light evening bonnet, is consid-
cred sufficiently elaborate even for the
boxes. When seated elsewhere, any
handsome walking costume, with light
evening gloves, is the conventional style
of dress A "creaking" fan is an unen-
durable accompaniment to the dulcet
strains of prima donna, and tiny drop
of almond oil applied to the rivet and
carefully wiped away will remedy this
defect and add another to the good deeds
of life; but words fail when one would
speak to the people who keep up whis-
pered comment during ones favorite air.
A gentleman is not expected to be at
tired in evening costume if the lady
whom he escorts to the opera is not in
full dress, but if he escorts lady clad
in visiting toilet to concert, or accom-
panies her to the theater, where the la
dies generally appear in visiting cos.
tunes, he may, if he wishes, be in full
dress. If gentleman wears full dress
at the opera it is permissible for him to
visit any part of the house where he may
have friends or acquaintances, but it is
not good taste for him to seat himself
among those who are not attired as he is.

BOSTON CULCHAw.
Cullud Folks Hust Not Sit at the
Table with White Folks.

New Haven union)
Since the Colored Jubilee Singers from
Fisk University have been in Boston
they have made their headquarters at
the Quincy House, where they received
courteous and kind attention. Finding
that the prices at this house were rather
more than they could afford, they re.
luctantly felt the necessity of seeking
quarters elsewhere. Rooms were there
fore engaged at the New Marl-
boro Hotel, corner of Washing
ton and Harvard streets and all arrange
ments were satisfactorily made with the
proprietor. On Saturday the singers,
with Professor George L. White and wife,
moved to their new quarters. Without
amy previous notice they were told that
on account of their color, some of their
guests or boarders objected. The propri-
etor proposed that they should occupy a
second table, which Mr.. White immedi-
ately declined to accept, stating that as
they were to pay the price asked, they
We're entitled to the same treatment as
other guests received. They were, there
fore, Informed by the proprietor that he
could not entertain them, and they left.
This treatment is in striking contrast
with the marked hospitality they re-
ceived in Great Britain and Germany
They breakfasted with Mr.. Gladstone,
took supper in the new palace of Freder-
lex the Great at Potsdam, had every at
tention from the Emperor of Germany,
Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales,
members of both houses OF Parliament,
etc. The members of the Fisk Company
are refined and educated persons, and if
they could be the guests of Kings,
Queen, Emperors and Lords, they GER
tainly would not disgrace the proprietor
or guests of hotel. Much of the work
of the Jubilee Singers hitherto has been
in removing prejudice. From the fore
going it will he seen that their work in
this respect is not completed yet-even
in Massachusetts.

Nowadays people are discovering every
thing. There is DR.. Schliemann, who has
discovered all the old kitchen-ware of the
ancient Troians and'written book about
it; and another explorer has just found
out about some young Centaurs who
went to old Chiron's school. 1t was
boarding and day school, situated on the
Island Of Peparethos, off the coast of
Thessaly; "a most salubrous spot" the
school prospectus said, and old Chiron
taught all the polite arts. 1t must have
been trouble, for young Centaurs were
a wild set.
Indeed, people in those days never
said, "This boy is as wild as young
colt" but GAS wild as young Centaur,"
which amounted to the same thing. The
Centaur boys had good times, you may
be sure. The polite arts did not bother
them much, though the boys bothered
old Chiron. He was always shouting to
them to keep their hoofs off the desks,
and to stop switching their tails about
for they knocked down ink bottles and
things. OF course, in fy-time such a
rule was very hard, but the Centaur boys
revenged themselves by chasing the
geese that belonged to Chiron's old
housekeeper and making her scold till
she was hoarse.
They played football, too, and such a
splendid game, for every Centaur could
kick with both his hind feet, while he
steadied himself on his fore feet. The
ball sometimes went clear across the
island-about two miles. At least, that
is the record the boys left cut on the rocks
at Peparethos, SO far as our discoverer
could make out and translate. CRY
neus" and "Pholus" must have been the
best kickers, for he found their names cut
on the rocks, Just under the big kicking
score. And they had grand games OF
baseball; such running and catching!
They did not need to stoop to steady
themselves when they caught, 50 none Of
them were at all bow-legged, and that
was certainly an advantage over two
legged boys. 14
But they never played marbles, for
they could not kneel down properly still,
it was great saving in trouser-knees.
They ran races though, and made splen-
did time. "Rhetus' was the best race
for two school terms, SO the record said,
and the name of the champion for the
next year must have been kicked off out
of envy, for our explorer noticed a big
piece of rock Clipped off, just under
Rhmtus' name They could not have boat
races, of course, but they had swimming
matches, and you may imagine that a
boy with four legs and two arms could
make pretty fast time.
The Hawkeye says: "All that the
American Needs is some boats. 1t has
plenty Of water" The Secretary of the
Navy certainly can not see things in the
Hawkeye light. He ended the Missis,
sippi River recruiting service on the
Wachusett because he could not make an
eeghteen-foot draught boat go over a
seven-foot sand-bar. This was demon
strated by actual experiment, and it was
found there was too much navy for the
stage of water. ia
