THE CLASSICAL SOCIETY.
Interesting Essay by Ex-senator Bout
well Oh "Oid World Discoveries OF
America Prior 30 CoIumbus.v


A very largo assemblcge of persons at the
Classical Society last night in Miss Ransoms
studio, greatly enjoyed XSenator Boutwells
paper on "Old World Discoveries of America
Prior to Columbus Mr.. Boutwell, has evil
IDENTIFY studied this subject carefully, labor
iously and intclligcntly. He, however, has
been fascinated by the thoughts of simplicity,
that it is u simpler and hence n truer theory
to ascribe the pcopling of America to the old
world. especially to Asia, than to seek other
solutions of the race problem. In his paper
last night he argued with much force that
aborigines of America were all of
one race that that race was identical
with the Scythian of Northern Asia, modified
to certain extent by climate, by occasional
instruction from more civilized races, and,
perhaps in slighter degree, by mixture with
the blood of other races.
Although clearly and forcibly put, it was
the same argument that has been advanced
for over hundred years, with its missing
links, its impossible CULTS, its inconsistencies.
Assuming the Asiatic Scythan as the parent
stock of the American, he failed to reconcile
with the Scythian's refusal to receive civiliZa-
ton from the enlighted races around him in
Asia the insinuation that the American In
dian had received and adopted the high cul-
ture of other races,whch he at last had given
up and forgotten. Thus the Cssayist insisted
who were the North American Indians
had acquired the art of welding
and hardening copper, ain art known only to
these two races and forgotten by both. From
the Egyptian the Indian borrowed his pyra-
mid building, now a forgotten art also.
Neither from PhGnician, nor Hebrew, nor
Chinese, nor japanese did he learn the art Of
writing. He went no further than recording
notable events pictorially. Aud yet he could
borrow Egyptian astronomy and divide his
year into 365 days hours, while unable or
unwilling to transcribe his calculation in let
ters Proofs, both negative and analogical, of
Asiatic discovery of America long centuries
ago, were advanced with skill and force.
That the Phpnicians traded with America
for hundreds of years was clearly established,
while the discoveries Of the Northmen were
too well authenticated now to be open to dis
cussion. The paper was n learned, forcble,
and acute essay, forming a valuable contri-
button to history.

The JudiciOuS Wife.

A iudicious wife, says Ruskin, is al
ways nipping off from under her hus-
bands moral nature little twigs that
are growing in wrong directions. She
keeps him in shape by continued prun-
ing. If you say anything silly she Will
affectionately tell you so. If you de-
clare you will do some absurd thing
she Will find some means of preventing
you from doing it. And by far the
chief part of all the common sense
there is III this world belongs unques-
tionably to woman. The wiSest things
man commonly does are those which
lis wife counsels him to do. A wife is
a grand wielder of the moral pruning
knife. If Johnson's wife had lived there
would have been no boarding up of
orange peel, no touching all the posts
in walking along the streets, no eating
and drinking with disgusting voracity.
If Oliver Goldsmith had been married,
he never would have worn that memoir
able and ridiculous coat. Whenever
you find man whom you know
but little about oddly dressed, or talk
ing absurdly, or exhibiting eccentricity
of manner, you may be sure that he is
not a married man, for the corners are
rounded off, the little shoots pared
away, in married men. Wives have gen.
orally much more sense than their hus-
bands, even though they may be clever
men. The wife's advice is like the bal
last that keeps the ship steady.
