Brain-Weary statesmen cannot render
efficient service. Therefore the legis-
lature sensibly adjourned over until the.
first of next week. There is mistaken
notion among the general constituency
that a legislator is not earning his per
diem unless he is IN his seat every day
from sunrise till sunset. They are
either forgetful or Ignorant of the fact
that most of the legislation is done IN
committee room, and that when done
under most favorable circumstances.
the work of legislator is quite weari-
some. 1t is necessary to take day OIL
two off now and then to give the legis-
lative brain rest, and to give the
clerks chance to catch up with their
work. These legislative recesses, II
not too protracted, are time saved III

BELLE BOYD, and many are the tales OF
reckless daring that were told OF her in
war times. She figured principally in
the Shenandoah valley as a spy for
JACKsoN's army. In 1862 she was cap
tured at her home in Martinsburg,
but was afterwards exchanged for the
celebrated Col. MICHAEL CoRCoRAN. of
the Irish brigade, who had been a
prisoner since the first Bull Run battle.
At Gettysburg she was captured again.

shot as a spy, but her sentence was
committed by President. LINCOLN to
Punishment. She went to London,
where she afterwards created a sensa-
ton by marrying her captor, Lieut..
HARDING, of Pennsylvania regiment.
After his death she married another
federal officer-Col. HAMMOND, of
Philadelphia, whom she met during her
first imprisonment in the old capitol
building at Washington. After HAM
| MoND's death she went to the Indian
territory, where she resumed her reck-
less life and became noted outlaw,
having served a term in the peniten-

Comparatively few people know that

1t is an Importation from the warm

perhaps, something like two centuries

congenial surroundings. they multi
piled apace. Now they seem almost

they swarm ed in the kitchens of town
houses they were unknown in the
country. No doubt if they had been
natives of a similar climate they would
have quickly reached even remote vii
lages, but, they fortuna ely have deli
cate constitutions and can, not stand
exposure TO cold. Many people must
have. noticed that it is only in hot
summer Weather that they are seen
far away from the warmth of the
kitchen fire. It is this need for a high
temperature which causes them to
concentrate where it is most constant
ly maintained. Cool larders and pail
tries are comparatively secure against
their attacks, in spite Of the fact that
they would find better fare therein
than the crumbs and particles upon

The scene of a serious riot just after

TO the body. In fact, for the purpose

II the blow falls on the head a con-
fused wound may be produced. This,
If severe, is sometimes accompanied
by a quite copious henorrhage, giving
the wound a CHASTITY and sickening
aspect. Sometimes, if the stroke is
given with great force, the wound may
be not only confused, but also lacerat-
ed. This is about as much damage as
the locust, or even the ebony or rose
wood, is capable OF int1icting; still,
when the weapon is swung with the
full force of a powerful man excited
by hand-to-hand fighting or desperate
ly defending himself against several
armed assailants, a skull is sometimes
fractured. A case of this kind is at
times peculiarly dangerous, as the fol-
lowing incident will show: =
A man was brought to the station
house apparently with nothing worse
under his hat than q "brick." There
was no external appearance of any
wound. He was partially uncon-
scious, but revived sufficiently to give
his name and address, and was put in
a cell. In the morning he was taken
to court, paid his fine, and was re-
leased. He was about the streets for
several days. but finally was obliged
to take to his bed and send for a phy-
sican on account OF trouble with his
head. A close examination then, for
the first time. revealed the fact that
his skull was fractured. In spite of
the DOCTORS efforts the man died.
That is, of course, a very unusual
case, but it shows how great should be
the care of the surgeon in examining
what may seem to be a slight wound
or no wound whatever, provided he
knows that blow has been struck. In
the above case the fracture was not felt
until inflammation had set in around
it and emulation had caused pressure
on the brain. This does not generally
occur until twenty-four hours have
elapsed and, as in the above case. it
may not be felt for forty-eight hours
or more. 1t is dangerous to neglect
even ordinary confused wounds, erysip-
elias being liable to set in.

COLUMBUS, BIRTHPLACE.

<Au oOHOr Cl9lM0O Dy several Italian
Cities and a Corsican Town.
Four or five great cities of the Union
are now struggling for the honor of
the quadri-centennial exhibition in
1892, which is to celebrate the discov-
cry of America by Christopher Colum-
bus. 1t is, therefore, very appropri-
ate time for furnishing up our knowl-
edge of this great navigator.
We know when he was born and
died, the achievements of his life and
the discoveries he made. but, strange
to say, we do not know to certainty
where he was born or buried. The
Cubans claim that his bones lie in Ha-
wanna, and the Dominicans are posi-
tive that the remains are in the city of
Santo Domingo.
But this is a trifling trouble compared
with the war being waged over the
birthplace of Columbus.
Our school-books assure us that he
was born in Genoa, but this statement
is based on insufficient testimony. No
authenticated document is in existence
proving that Christopher Columbus
was born in Genoa.
The three biographers. his contem-
poraries, Gallo, Guistiniani and Fog.
lietta, merely designate him as a "Ge-
noese."
Now, it happens that at the time OF
the birth of Columbus. the island OF
Corsica belonged to Genoa, and the
Genoa Senate had granted to the town
of Calvi, in Corsica, the special privi.
lege then called city's right; so that
the Calvi people were called "Genoese
citizens" The municipality used on
the legal and official paper. the very
best seal of Genoa, with the motto.
"Sigill,tna cons,ns1'aitatis Calvi."
So, then, if Columbus was born in
Calvi, he would have been a Genoese,
just the same as if he had been born in
Genoa. That is one point in Calvi's
favor, and the city has many local ira.
ditions to support it's claim. :Altogeth.
er, they believe in it so fully that on
July 80, 1886, they placed memorial
plaque upon a house of Colombo street,
formerly Del Filo street (Threadneedle
street-Columbus father was q weav.
cry, where tradition; says the grea:
navigator came into the world.
Moreover, there was at Calvi fam
lily by the name Of Colombo, whose
traces can be followed in the parish
registers from the sixteenth to the
eighteenth centuries. It is worth
noticing, also. that, according to the
narrative made by Don Fernando ol
the discovery of America, there were
on board the fotilla of Columbus q
pack of Corsican.., hounds, and also a
pretty good number of Corsican
natives, probably from Calvi.
The above facts, recently published
in Europe, do not settle the disputed
question relative to the birthplace Of
Columbus, but they indicate that a
strong tradition is in existence, ac-
cording to which his. birthplace would
be the seaport OF Calvi, in Corsica
L OF course it makes no practical diff.
ference to us where Columbus was
born or whore he was buried, and it il
quite likely that the general conviction
that he was born in Genoa will remain
undisturbed. We are only interested
! in his achievements as to making
known to the world the greatest coun.
try the sun ever shone upon. Golden
