The World of Columbus.

Professor Edward +. Fauquhar of the
Columbia University, at Washington. d.
c., delivered a very interesting lecture
yesterday afternoon at the building of
the Young Mems Christian Association
before the literary class of Miss NJ. Blair.
Some 100 ladies' representing the very best
families in this city, assembled in the
class-rooms which had been thrown into
one, 10 listen TO the Professor $
explanation OF what he thought Of 1.-The
World of Columbus" Among the few
gentlemen present were Rev. George Coop
er. d. D., and Rabbi Edward n. Calisch.
Professor Fauquhar, who was intro
duced TO the audience by State Secretary
II. o. Williams. began his lecture ny
calling attention to the fact that Asia
has been the cradle OF Europe. and that
the latter continent was not a world which
had been there, but which had come there.
He gave a brief review OF the history
OF the several nations prior TO the time Of
Columbus, and pointed out the fact that
the emancipation OF America of rather re-
cent date was simply one step in the de-
velopment OF the human race.
The first war OF independence and pos
sibly the most important me was that by
which Greece withdrew herself from the
Asiatic supremacy of Persia. Later on
Rome became great nation OF the
world. and was subsequently followed by
other nations. whereby the power of
America was formed.
