dition and conveyed to the City Hospital

Columbus Lost Anchor Discovered.

A curious relic OF one of the expedi-
tons which sailed to the West Indies
under the command OF Column bus has,
it is stated by Martinique journal,
been recently discovered. On the
4th of August, 149S, small squadron
of three vessels, under the orders of
Christopher Columbus, was anchored
off the southwestern extremity of the
island of Trinidad. Late at night,
Columbus, it is stated by Washington
Irving, suddenly saw wall of water
approaching toward the fleet from the
south. His own vessel was lifted up
SO 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 subjected. The
crews of the vessels gave themselves up
for lost, but after time, the wave
which it is surmised must have been
caused by au exceptionally large body
of water coming suddenly down one of
the rivers flowing into the gulf of Paria,
ebbed back again. This sudden rise
of the waters OF the gulf is mentiC ned
by Columbus son, Ferdinand, who
adds that the fleet 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 of six feet below the surface
of the ground, ut spot 372 feet from
the nearest point Of the coast line. The
land, it is we'll known, is gaining upon
the sea along the shores of Venezuela,
so that where ships rode at anchor gar
dens are now planted. The anchor it.
self is of simple form and compare
lively rude manufacture, the stock be-
ing eight feet long and round, with a
ring at one END one foot in diameter,
to which to make fast the cable, and
with hukes five feet long, the whole
weighing !, 100 pounds.

Very different customs prevail in diff.
ferent countries and ages. The civil
lied man hardly resembles the savage
in any particular. In some cases men
turn right about face as they advance
in the social scale, and do as Christians
what they would never think of doing
rs savages. Among the Zulus, for ex-
ample, the mother-in-law moves in a
very circumscribei circle. She is not
permitted to make any criticisms of
household affairs, nor even to look on
the face of her son-in-law. When he
appears she plays a kind of hide and
seek, and never feels free while he is in
the house. How differe emit are our
modern ways ! Now if anybody plays
hide and seek, it is his son-in-law, and
if there IS any one on the footstool
whom he fears it is the dignitied aud
autocratic mother of his beloved wife.
An impartial observer of affairs some
times wonders whether the old custom
is not better than the new, and whether
We have really made any progress in
this particular matter.
