NICHOLAS V and 1855 Is given as the prohahle
date OF the Nazarine Bible, the earliest printed

tn .ns uIscoteFy that tallieo; pointing his little
telescope to the sky, found the satellites OF
Jupiter and was hailed as the Columbus of the
heavens, HIS character was Complex as was that
OF many men OF his time, who made their mark
IN history. But his character aud Attafnnents
are TO be estimated by those OF his ooutempor-
aries and no. by other standards. Deeply read
IN mathematical science, he was certainly the
best ReoRrRpher of his time / believe with
CASTELAR,. that he was sincerely religions mt
his sincerity did not prevent bis indulging In
dreams. He projected, as the elOueut Spau-
ish orator says, the purchase Of the holy
places or Jerusalem IN the event of his finding
seas Of pearls, cities Of gold streets paved with
SapphireS, mountains OF emeralds and rivers Of
diamonds How remote and how marvellous
has been the realization. Two products OF the
southern continent which no touched and
brought into the worlds economy have
proved of iuestimabe value to the race
tar beyond what the imagined wealth
by the Spaniards from what is now the repub-
hc OF Ecuador at the beginning of the century
following the discovery has proven next 70 the
principal cereal to be most valuable Of all the
plants of human food. IL has sensibly increased

TO the welfare OF the people. More certain

parts OF south America. It received its botan-

pearance. No words that ] could use could
magnify the blessings brought to mankind by
these two individuals OF the vegetable kingdom
from the shores of the new world Limited
time for preparation does not permit me to
speak authoritatively Of the progress and proud
position OF our sister republics and the Domin-
ion OF Canada to demonstrate the fruits of the
great discovery Concerning ourselves Stats

That sustained him In his days OF trial and dark

Like him let us have faith Ia our futnre To
Insure that future tho fountains must be kept

when men trlde with public conscience let me
predict the patriotic action Of the republic in
the language OF Milton.
"Methinks | see in my mind noble and puis-
SAINT nation rousing herself like o strong man
after sleep and shaking her invinciole locks;
'Methinks | see her as an eagle renewing her
mighty youth and kindling her undazed eyes
at the full midday beam;
"Purging and unscaling her long abused sight
at the fountain itself OF heavenly radiance;
"While the whole noise Of timorous and flock.
ing birds, with these also that love the twilight,
flutter about amazed at what she means "
Mr. President, ia the name OF the govsrnment
Of the United States l hereby dedicate these
buildings and their appurtenanceS intended by
the congress Of the United States for the use Of
the world = Columbian exposition to the world g
progress In art in science, in agriculture, and In
manufactures [ dedicate them TO humanity,
God save the United States Of America.
At the conclusion of the Vice Presidents
address and as he pronounced the dedioa-
tory words the members Of the foreign
diplomatic corps arose simultaneously to
their feet in graceful approval OF the senti-
ment and the example 30 delicately set by
the representatives Of foreign nations was
instantly followed by all the thousands as.
sembled beneath the vast roof.
