, llK , vovttge of Columbus in 1492 was
to many'respect, tho greatest event
i,j 0 li had occurred in the world dnoe
the birth of Christ. Politically and so-
oally it was the beginning of an entirely.
chapter in human history, and it
wrought effects upon men*e speculative
thinking which, though perhaps less
eenspicuous. were not less reel or re-
markable. In much more than the
mere geographical sense was this the dis-
oovery <>f » ««»• world - K was ^
jn a complicated series of events which
four centuries have not yet fully round
el into a period; the foundation of a
ae w Knrope in America, in Africa, in
Australia and in the islands of the Pa
cific ; the rise of the English race to
political and commercial supremacy, and
the advance of the English language
toward what may become universal do
minion; tho reorganization of govern
ment upon a higher plane than the
middle ages had even been nblo to fore
shadow; the renovation of society in
the old Europe through countless subtle
ini'uouces; the permanent triumph of
the industrial over tho predatory spirit;
the successful assertion of individual
troixlom against the paralyzing absolut
ism inherited from tho Roman empire;
the overthrow of sacerdotalism, and tho
Christianization of tho world. It would
probably bo too much to assert tiiat
some of these desirable results might
not have been uttained, so far as the old
Europe is concerned, even if the lands
tieyond tho sea had never been explored
and colonized. It is unquestionable,
however, that the progress would have
been much slower and much more sub
ject to interruption. Tho part per
formed by Englnnd, for example, in the
work of Enropean civilization since the
age of Elizabeth has l>een so immense
and so complicated tiiat no elaborateness
of analytic description can do it justice.
Yet England in Elizabeth’s time wus
hardly a first-class power, and but tor
the colonization of America in the seven
teenth century it is difficult to see in
what way she would so surely or so soon
have gained the commercial supremacy
which gave her in the eighteenth the
dominion of the ocean, and thus secured
her the foromost position in tho world.
To those—and there are many such in
America—who are in the habit of re
garding American history os a dry and
uninteresting study, it may be a profita
ble matter of reflection that sinoe the
beginning of tho seventeenth century it
w impossible to follow intelligently the
aft sirs of the old Europe through a stn-
rI- generation without constant refer-
entx* to the New World.—John Fiske, ton

nrxoxic jokes.
Notwithstanding Byron’s assumed con
tempt of death, nothing could exceed
his abject terror wlion laboring under
even tho slightest illness. He was dining
at Pisa, with Hunt, Trelawnoy and
Shelloy, one day, when ho was suddenly
seized with a violent nttack of colic. He
hastily arose from tho table, threw him'
self upon the Bofa, and began to say,
" Oh, my Ood! I am dying, I am dy
ing !” Trelawnoy, who was a very pe
culiar man, went up to the terrified
l«ird, and said, 11 Como, come, Byron, if
you are dying, you needn’t make such a
confounded fuss about it." The tone in
which he said this was so irresistible
that the Hick man could not help joining
in the laughter which Trelawney’s non
chalance caused. Byron, who really at
heart was a very kind man, and whose
nature rose at every oppression, was
vory fond of making himself out a very
had one, and when he had indulged
himself with a little more gin and water
than usual he would frequently grow
almost maudlin over his imaginary
wickedness. One night ho was partic
ularly dismal over his own iniquities,
and expressed great repentance. He
was vory mnch pnt out by Mrs. Hunt
saying, in a tone of affected oonnotation,
"Come, my Lord, you are not half so
wicked ss you flatter yourself you are."
He gave his publisher, JTohn Murray, as
a birthday present, a Bible very nicely
tiound. On the ontside, stamped in
golden letters, was the inscription,
" From Lord Byron, to his friend, John
Murray, Esq." This was ostentatiously
laid on tho oenter-table of the great pub
lisher’s drawing-room, and Murray was
very proud of the gift. At a large party
at iiia house, one evening, a friend was
turning over the leaves of the magnifi
cent Bible, when ho suddenly cried:
"Why, Murray, come here 1 Byron has
been altering the Bible." Baying this,
be pointed out to tho astonished and in
dignant publisher that Byron had al
tered a verso by drawing his pen through
the word “ robber” and substituting an
other word, so that tho verso ran thus:
“ Now Barabbas was a publisher.” After
that unlucky discovery the book disap*

Oyster Feeds and Maintains Itself.
[From the Baltimore Gisette.]
Every oyster has a month, a heart,
a liver, a stomach, cunningly devised in
testines, and other necessary organs,
just os all living, moving, intelligent
creatures have. And all these things
are covered from men’s rudely inquisi
tive gaze by a mantle of pearly gauze,
whose woof and war;) put to shame the
frost lace on your windows in winter.
The mouth is at tho smaller end of the
oyster, adjoining the hinge. It is of oval
shape, and, though not readily seen by
an inexperienced eye, its loention and
size enn be easily discovered by gently
pushing a blunt bodkin or similar instru
ment along tho surface mentioned.
When the spot is found, your bodkin can
be thrust between the delicate lips and a
considerable distance .down toward the
stomach without causing the oyster to
yell with pain. From this mouth is, of
course, a sort of canal to convey the food
to the stomach, whence it passes into
the intestines. With an exceedingly
delicate and sharp knife yon can take ofl
the “ mantle” of the oyster, when there
will be disclosed to you a half-moon
shaped space just above the muscle, or
so-called “ heart.” This space is the
oyster's pericardium, and within it is
the real heart, the pulsations of which
are readily seen. The heart is made np
of two parts, just as the human heart is,
one of which receives the blood from
the gills through a network of blood
vessels, and the other drives the blood
out through arteries. In this important
matter the oyster differs in no respect
from other warm or cold-blooded ani
mals. And no one need laugh incredu
lously at tho assertion that oysters have
blood. It is not ruddy, according to the
accepted notion about bloo l, but it is
nevertheless blood to all oyster intents
and purposes. In the same vicinity,
and in marvelously propor posi
tions, will be found all the other
organs named. But it is very proper to
be incredulous about that mouth and or
gans. At first glance it would seem that
they are utterly useless, tor the mouth
oonuot snap around for food, and the
oyster has no arms wherewith to grab
its dinner or lonoh. True, apparently,
but only apparently, for each oyster has
more than a thousand arms—tiny, deli
cate, almost invisible. And each one of
them is inoesaantly at work gathering
up food and gently pushing tt into the
lazy month of the indolent, comfortable
creature. The gills are the thin flaps
so notably perceptible around the front-
(nee port of tho undressed oyster, below
riio muscle. Each o( those gills is cov
ered with minute, huir-like arms, very
close together, and perjietually in mo
tion, to and fro, in the same direction.
They witch food from the water, strain
il carefully of improper substances, and
vrnft it upward over the mantle’s smooth
surface to tho gaping mouth, which
placidly gobbles- it up until hunger is
appeased and then the body goes to
sleep without turuiug over. Anyone
cm observe this singular process of
feeding by placing a minute quantity of
>ouio harmless coloring matter on the
gills. If it will not offend the oyster's
delicate palate the coloring mutter will
