Thinks Columbus Made a Mistake.

We liked Americans very much, indeed
the kind of Americans one meets; but we did
not like the American mob, the human back
ground, the kind one doesn't meet; and it is
unfortunately the mob, the human back
ground, and not the chosen remnant in the
foreground, that gives a country its char
acter, its dominant note. American food,
American hotels, American railway car
riages, American shops land the ladies"
and gentlemen who flung things at us in
them), American officials, American serv-
looking American landscape, and last, but
by no means least, the great American eli
mate, ended by. getting on our nerves to
such a degree that we were compelled to
wonder, with French friend of ours, whose
affairs necessitated his residence in New
York, "why Christopher Columbus had not
exercised a little discretion and kept his dis
graceful discovery secret" : London

Another Charred EFiner Found.

Brownsville, Pa, Dec. 2s.-Another
victim of the Braznen mine explosion
was found yesterday. Some Hunga-

claimed the body was that of Andrew

body was found lying face downward,
and the terribly charred remains had
the same appearance as the debris
around. It is now supposed that
there is another digger in this same
