The friends of Columbus beheld his do

great project was lost to Spain. One Of

make one last effort, sought an audience
with the queen. With wonderful zeal and
Oloquencs he stated the case and pleaded
that Spain might not lose the brilliant nd

bridge of Pinas, about two tongues ftom
Granada. Leu ming that Isabella had
pledged her royal word to undertake the
enterprise, every doubt vanished, and he
hastened i~oyfully back to conclude the ar
rangements, his former demands being
substantially granted in articles signed at
Santa Fe on April II, 1892.
The popular prejudice against the enter
prise was so intense that great difficulty
was experienced in securing the necessary
ships and men. At length Martin Alonzo
Pinzon stepped forward and made good the
pledge he had given Columbus at the con-
vent at La Rabida years before. He was

A l,eel Meea.

There is norhing that conduccs
70 a successful meeting Of emer-
gencics better than IL cool hcud,
with feeling of perfect conf
dcnce that everything Is going to
come out all right. Whether
things are "'com'ng out all right
or not, ut least the feeling of
quiet self-control makes one bet
ter able. to work toward the good
result. 10 a mother this self
possession Is invaluable. In a
large family small events calculat-
ed to upset the domestic machin-
cry are constantly occurring. 1t
seems to he IL law of nature that
children should continually have
hair-brcath escapes, and come
within an inch of losing their lives.
But it is equally a law Of nature
that they should escape. And
whenever the critical moment ar
rives IN her own life or in the life
of another, It is important for a
woman to remember that the very
worst thing she can do at that
moment is to lose her hcnd.
To do that means to be helpless
instead of helpful, to be Il drag
instead of an assistance. In IN
emergency one should rather seem
heartless than inefficient. There
are always people ready to CRY or
faint or shed tears over the suffer-
or where there is one who stands
cOolly By and sees the way TO help
him. Affection and sympathy
are often best proved BY ignoring
them, particularly when tho mo-
ment arrives that calls for action
and mt tears.-Uniserse.

Of man holding tho exalted pos

Of. tho granslest cominonwealths
Of tho American Union.
Governor Buchanan of Tcnnes-

in eternal infamy by prostituting
the clemency prcrogativc Of h's

This he has effected through un-

The AllOtments For The LeveeS.

Telegrams from Chief State En-
gineer Richardson and ex-Con-
grcssman Wilkinson to Governor
Foster Yesterday show that the
Mississippi River Commission has
done even better for the levees
than was expected. The repre-
sentatives of the various levce dis
tricts who appeared before the
commission asked for the appro-
priation from the funds voted for
river Improvement, or authorized
to be contracted for by it, of So.
900, 900. The chief point discus
sed before the commission, as we
have already noted, was whether
that body should content itself
with simply apportionlng the mo-
ncy set apart by congress for the
Mississippi, or whether 1t should
contract ahead for work in 1898
and future years; and the strong
est arguments were made in favor
Of the latter policy. d.
These arguments convinced the
commission, tor it made allot-
ments and contracts ahead for
four years, and set aside 1000,
600 instead of the IS, ,OOO, 900 pro-
posed. The other alluv,al States,
Missississjppi and upper Arkan-
