SHIP OF COLUMBUS.

peric1. Forward there was a small
plat., "A on which were smaller pieces,
falcons and shakers, for the discharge
of grapc-shot and small stones. There
were four masts, two of which were
rugged with square sails and two with
sails shaped like swallows wing.
These arc still used in the Mediterranean
and bear the name of lateen sails, from
the belief that they are similar to those
used by the ancient Latin peoples. 1t
will be seen that the navigators of that
period had partly seized the true idea of
how to utilize the. winds from almost
every point of the compass save those
rom its very eye, which is done now by
square sails aided by stay sails, and the
after are the old lateen sails so modified
,s to offer no obstruction to the other

A Mathematical Prodigy.

Sam Summers, the colored prodigy, was
in Shelbyville yesterday. and, as usual,
entertained a large crowd, who were
testing him with all kinds of mathemati-
cal problems. Summers is a colored
man, thirty-four years old, without the
slightest education. He cannot read or
write, and does not know one figure
from another. He is farmland, and
to look at him and watch his actions, be
seems to be about half-witted, but his
quick and invariably correct answer to
any example in arithmatic, no matter
how difficult, is simply wonderful. With
the hundreds of tests that he has sub
mitted to, not single time has he failed
to give the correct answer in every In
stance.
Some examples given him on yesterday
were: How much gold can be bought for
S792 in greenbacks if gold is worth

there was an active war of argument,
which was decided by the discovery of
Roman medals on which were figured
triremes. This made it evident that the
banks of oars were not placed in tiers
above each other, but that they were be-
hind each other. The first tier was of
comparatively small oars, the second tier
was raised higher than the first and aft
of it, and the third tier higher still, and
on the poop, which word is of pure Latin
origin. This system gave to the triremes
inordinate length, and they were in COM

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The innocence of the intention abates
nothing of the mischief of the example.
When you're right you can't be too
radical, and when you're wrong you can t
be too conservative.
The true reply to the question. Is
life worth living is: 1t all depends On the
kind of life you live.
Never let day pass without thinking
seriously, if only for moment, of death.
1t will rob it of more than half its ter
rors.
To be able to endure honest and kint.
criticism requires quite as much wisdom.
as to be able to make honest and wise
criticism.
the individual right needs no label,
for it exists in the consciousness of doing
right, thus proving that the only method
one can determine what right is, is by
doing right himself.
Wherever the most individual liberty is
recognized, in the same proportion
greater progress takes place and greater
security to life; also the pursuit of hap
pincss is less disturbed.
The persons depending upon external
appearance for their respectability would
doubtless dispute the importance of
being honest, but for the fact that their
position can only be maintained BY de-
ception.
Anguish of mind has driven thousands
to suicide; anguish of body none. This
proves that the health of the mind is of
far more consequence to our happiness
than the health of the body, although
both are deserving of much more atten-
tion than either of them receive.
Imaginary evils soon become real ones
by indulging our reflections on them; as
he who in melancholy fancy sees some
thing like a face on the wall of the
wainscot, can, by two or three touches
with a lead pencil, make it look visible,
and agreeing with what he fancied.

He Did Whip the Grizzly.

Colonel Thomas F. Barr, Assistant Ad-

the Grand Pacific last evening, says the
Chicago Tribune. He is going out with
General Crook to investigate the Leaven-

General in the rotunda of the hotel the
trip was dismissed with q word and the
evening passed in discussion of bear hunt

Chow did he do it2"
"Choked it to death"
General Crook arose and frowned.
"Colonel Barr" he said, II have al
ways esteemed you gentleman and an
officer" and walked away. Colonel Barr
sat still and grinned. The General walked
around the hotel for two or three laps,
then came back, and with his hands
buried deep in his pockets stood in front
of the Colonel.
"Barr," he said, Gas man to man. How
old was that bear2"
"Ahout two months, reckon"
The General took the Colone's arm
without word and executed right face.
The pair marched due south twenty-five
feet, wheeled, and moved west until they
were lost behind the red cedar partition,
and shortly thereafter this conversation
foated over the partition:
''Well, General"
"Colonel."
And then there was deep silence.

CHAPTER XVIII.
AT MADAM BERGER S.

DR.. Mulek, Peter the student and
Colonel Orloff, the lover of Elvira Lin
void, met at the Cafe d'Amerique the
morning after Lola Pulaski's visit to
General Paul.
The three men were in private
room and they talked over the subject
that was exciting all st. Petersburg
that morning.
"By jove!" exclaimed the Doctor,
General Paul shows more force near
tie jaws of death than he did when he
was we'll man."
How so?" asked Peter, while the
Colonel knitted his bushy brows and
pulled with more vigor on his cigar.

was anything he could do for him, and
he sent back word that he wanted Lola

"By the mass, he did and this morn

Peter.

"Then if this man lives you will be

Orloff, striking the table.
Doctor Mulek gasped and looked
from one to the other of his compan-
ions, as if he did not comprehend the
full import of the words he had just
heard. At length he managed to say ::
"I-I fully comprehend you, and l

Colonel. reaching out his hand.
