VOYAGE and ADMIRAL.

The main sources OF information respecting
the most famous voyage in history arc the
diaries of Columbus epitomized by Las Casas
and the letters in which the discovery OF the
New World was announced after his return to
Spain. While it is fortunate that the discover
ers own records of the expedition have been
preserved. it would be absurd TO interpret them
literally or to deal with them as panstakng
and precise narratives Of the voyage. Column
bus was Genoese sailor, reporting in a Ian
guage not his own, and in one which he had
imperfectly learned, events that were to revO-
lutionize the history of the world. That he
should have done this in the cut-and-dred man.
ner of modern author of paper to be read
before a geographical society is preposterous.
Among the earliest entries in the journal are
statements that he misrcpresented the number
of leagues sailed each day, making it less than
il was so that the crews might not be alarmed
by the remote distance from Spain. Dissimu-
Iation Systematically practised in his dealings
with the crew was undoubtedly repeated in his
record of the voyage and discoveries proclaimed
after his return Modern critical study has
revealed so many glaring inaccuracies and con-
tradictions in his diaries and letters as to cast
suspicion upon inc "hole HdrrduVe i'll mao'cTs
of detail
One of the Oldest Columbus myths is that
which presents him in the attitude of sup
pressing constant mutiny on beard ship, and
Of prevailing upon his followers by diplomacy
and threats, by argument and entrcaties, to
persevere in their westward course. Oviedo
gave the first hint for this line of treatment.
and many historians have drawn fanciful pict-
ures of the scenes of the voyage. These myths
are not supported by the records of Columbus,
and are to be dismissed as unworthy of
credence 1t is not probable that any threats
were made against the Admiral's life, or that
he was compelled to have recourse to authority
or entreaty in order to prevent premature re-

rates might readily yield nearly as much net
revenue as 10000, 900 passengers transported
at full rates. But if the railways determine
upon liberal policy in rates between this city
and Chicago there need be little fear that the
gain in travel will not be more than enough
to make up in gross revenue for the reductions
And railway managers may well rest assured
that the company which is first in the field with
low rates will reap the best results from the
patronage of the public, and will stand the
hest before the State Legislature when future
fayors are TO BIO asked of the people.

into a premature "Gl0ria in EXcelsis." there
were swarIns of birds, swirls OF sea-weed ana
diminishing soundings to convince them that
land was close at hand. 1t was the Hight OF
the birds that induced the Admiral to alter
his course so as to bring the West Indies into
his line of advance instead OF the CarollnaS, and
to impart Southern trend to Spanish dis-

The Columbus OF romance has vanished under
the strong light which historical research has
thrown upon the era OF maritime discovery.
As daring navigator he was surpassed by

methods has unravellcd the Columbus myths,
but il can never impair his fame as the greatest

believed most earnestly in God. With the
letter of Christianity he did not agree, but
its spirit he daily preached. He was seceder
from the Christian Church, yet he always spoke
of it with admiration and respect, and ne was
pleased to see his wife remain and his child
grow up within its fold. He denied the d.
