How cosmopolitan is literaturel Here
is work involving somewhat Italy,

MIR finished his Unknown Lands" more
than two years after tho death of coluM-
BUS. 10 knew nothing Of that event. and
said he was still living IN honor at the
Spanish Court!
Very recently we went through many OF
the scenes an6 incidents in tho volume be-
fore US. under the guidance Of the great
discoverer himself. with some OF his own
writings. but here We have much more OF
his grand aud chequered career in very
graphic form. The work 10 full Of interest
and needed nothing but the facts OF
CoLuMBrs's marvellous lite TO make it so.
These the author has well grouped and
filed IN with lively and appropriate
pictures of tho times and the actors in
them.
The chef interest Of the work centres in
two of its characters. who present a striking
and thrilling contrast.
JACOB MAlcHKSA was nephew OF the
very monk who obtained for COLUMBUS his
successful audience from FEnpIsASD and
ISABELLA, and, despite the tears OF his
fdncee. accompanied COLUMBUS on his sec
ond voyage instead of entering the Uni
versity Of Salamanca. He was noble pa
triotic, generous. disinterested, and will

fectly legitimate. He went TO work. con-
ciiiated the natives. who cheerfully as

CAsTASEDA was an enemy of COLUMBUS,
and hated him because he, Genoese. was
set over Spanlards. He was almo2t demo-
nlacal in his passions and principles. He
tainted and insulted MARCHEsA, set spies
on bin and tried to rob him of gold mines
which be hsd found. and even to murder
him. At last he also discovered the covet-
ID mines, and in seeking to avail himself
them he became self-imprisoned in
mountain gorge, from which it was I'M
possible TO escape. The natives, whom he
had estranged 10y his severity, traced him
to this prison. united the rope which was
his only means Of safety, threw at him
the hands of their fellows which he had
caused TO be cut of. jeered and Knocked
HIM, and left him to slowly die. When at
the yerest verge of death from starvation

by MARCHENA and ARA, native woman,
whom he had treated with cruelty and
who wished to let him perish. but was
controlled by MARCHENA.
At length CAsIANEDA was brought TO true
repentance and an entire transformation.
He protected and provided for Ara, be-
came friend and admirer of both MAR
Cinema and COLUMBUS; returned to Spain,
but without his coveted and expected
gold; zealously prepared himself and went
back TO the colonies to engage in mission

MARcHENA also returned home, married
