THE FIRST LAND. JUuullnB of ColttmlMiv Onii October Dny Jfour -100 Yearn Aro. JIv Washington Irving. It wns on Friday morning, tho 12th ofOctober, 14.02, that Columbus fir.st beheld tho Now World. As tho dny dawned ho saw beforo him a lovel is land, several leagues in extent, and covered with trees like a continual or chard. Though apparently unculti vated, it was populous, for the inhabi tants were seen issuing from all parts of thowoodsandrunning to the shore, They were perfectly naked, and as they Rtood gazing at the ships, appeared by their attitudes and gestures to be lost in astonishment. Columbus mado signals for theships to cast anchor, and tho boats to bo manned and armed. Ho entered his own boat, richly attired in scarlet, and holding tho royal staimaul; while .Alar tin Alonso Pinzon and Vincent Yancz his brother, put ollin company in their boats, each with a hanncr ot tno en terprise emblazoned with a green cross, having on either side tho letter F.nml Y.,tho iuitals of tho Castilian mon archs Fernando and Ysabel, surmount ed by crowns. As ho approached tho shore, Colum bus, who was disposed for all kinds of agrecablo impressions, was delighted with tho purity and suavity of tho at mosphere, tho crystal transparency of tho sea, and tho extraordinary Doauty of tho vegetation, Ho, huhcld, also fruits of an unknown kind upon tho trees which overhung tho shores. On landing, ho throw himself on his knees, kissed tho earth, and returned thanks to God with tears of joy, Ilisexamplo was followed by the rest, whose hearts indeed overflowed with tho samo feel ings of gratitude Columbus then rising drew his sword displayed tho royal ctandard, and assembling round him tho two captains, with do Ercobedo, notary of tho armament Kodrigo .Sanche.,and tho rest who had landed, ho took sol emn possession in tho niinio of tho Castilian sovereigns, giving tho namo of San Salvador. Having complied with tho rcquisito forms and cerenio iiicSjho called upon all present to take tho oath of obedience to him, as ad miral and viceroy, representing tho persons of tho sovereigns. Tho feelings of tho crow now burst forth in tho most extravagant trans ports. Thoy had recently considered thomsolves devoted men, hurrying for ward to destruction; they now looked upon themselves as favorites of for tune, and gave themselves up to tho most unbounded joy. They thronged around tho admiral with overflowing zeal, some embracing him, others kiss ing his hands. Thoso who had been most mutinous and turbulent during tho voyage, were now most devoted and enthusiastic. Some begged fav ors of him, as if ho had already wealth and honors in bin gift. Many abject spirits, who had out raged him by thoir violence, now crouched at his foot, begged pardon for all the trouble they had caused him, and promising tho UhnuoHl oliedienco lor the hiture. Tho natives of the island, when, at tho dawn of day, they had beheld tho Winn hovering ontheircoast, had sup posed them monsters which had is sued from tho deep during tho night. They had crowded to tho beach, and watched thou movements with awful anxiety. Their veering about, ap parently without effect, and tho furl ing oi i ucii'Hnns, rescanning uugo winys, tilled them with astonishment. When they behold their boats approach tho shore, and a number ol strange beings clad in glittering steel, or raiment of various colors, lauding upon the beach, they lied in allright to tho woods. Finding, however, that there was no attempt to pursue nor molest them, they gradually recovered from thoir terror, and approached thoHpaniards with great awe, frequently prostrating themselves on tho earth, and making fdgns of adoration. During tho ceremonies of taking possession, thoy remained gazing in timid admiration at tho complexion, tho boards, tho shining armor and splen did dress of tho Spaniards. Tho ad miral particularly attracted their at tention, from his commanding height, his air of authority, his dress of scar lot, and tho deference which was paid him by his companions; all which pointed him out as tho commander. When they had still further recov ered from theirfears, they approached tho Spaniards, touched their beards, and examined their hands and faces, admiring their whiteness. Columbus was pleased with their gentleness and conllding simplicity, and suffered their wrutiny with perfect acquiescence, winning them by his benignity. They now supposed that tho ships hail sailed out of tho crystal linnament which bounded their horizon, or had descended from above on their ample wings, and that t huso marvelous be ings were inhabitants of tho skies. Tho natives of tho island were no less objects of curiosity to tho Span birds, dilToring, as they did, from any raco of men they had over soon. Their appearance gave no promise of either wealth or civilization, for thoy woro entirely naked, and painted with a va riety of colors. W it It some it was confined nioroly to a part of tho face, tho nofvo, or around tlio eyes; wit both ers it extended to tho whole body, and gave them a wild and fautastiu ap pearance. Thoir complexion was of a tawny or copper hue, and thoy were entirely destitute ol beards, Thoir hair was not crisped, liko tho recently disco verod tribes of the African coast, under the saniolatitude, biitHtrnightand coarse, partly cut short above the ears, but some locks woro left long behind uud falling on their shoulders. Their features, though obscured and discolored by paint, were agreeable; thoy had lofty foreheads, and remarkably lino eyes. Thoy wore of moderato stature, and well sliajHsl; most of thorn appeared to be under thirty yearn of ago; there was but one female with them, quite young and beautifully formal. Aa Columbus supposed himself to have landed on nn island nt tho ex tremity of India, lie called tho natives by tho general appellation of Indians, which was universally adopted beforo the truo nature of bis discovery was known, and has since been extended to nil tho aboriginals of tho Now World. Tho islanders woro friendly and gentle. Their only arms were lances, hardened at tho end by lire, or pointed with a flint, or tho teeth or bone of a fish. There was no iron to bo seen, nor did theynpnearacquaint ed with its properties; for when a drawn sword was presented to inem thev unguardedly took it by tho edge Columbus distributed among them colored caps, glass beads, hawk's bells, and other trifles, such as tho Portu guese were accustomed to trade with among tho nations of the gold coast of Africa. They received them eageriy, hung tho beads round their necks, and wero wonderfully pleased with the bells. Tho Spaniards remained all day on shore, amusing themselves af ter their anxious voyngo amidst the beautiful groves of tho island, and re turned on board lato in tho evening, delighted with all they had seen. On the following morning, at break of day, the shore was thronged with tho natives; some swam oh" to tho s uns. others camo in light barks, which they called canoes, formed of a single tree hollowed, and capable of holding fi om ono man to tho number of forty or fifty. These they managed dexterously with puddles, and, if over turned, swam about in tho water with perfect unconcern, as if in their natural element, righting their canoes with great, facility, and bailing them with calabashes. They wero eager to procure moro toys and trinkets, not apparently from any idea, of their intrinsic value, but because overythingfrom tliostran- gers possessed a supernatural vaiuo in thoir eyes, as having been brought from heaven; thoy even picked up fragments of glass and earthenware art valuablo prizes. Thoy had but few objects to oiler in return, except par rots, of which great numbers wero do mesticated among them, and cotton vara, of which thoy had abundance, and would exchange largo balls of live and twenty pounds' weight lor tho merest trille. They brought also cakes of a kind of bread called cassava, which constituted a principal part of their food, and wiisafterwardan important articlo of provisions with tho Span iards. It was formed from a great root called yuca,which they cultivated in fields. This they cut into small mor sels, which thev grated or scraped and strained in a press.making a broad thin cake, which was afterward dried hard, and would keep for a long timo, being steeped in water when eaten. It was insipid, but nourishing, though the water strained from it in the prepara tion was a deadly poison. There was another kind of yuca destitute of this poisonous quality, which was eaten in tho root, either boiled or roasted. The avarice of tho discoverers was quickly excited by tho sight of small ornaments of gold worn by some of tho natives in their noses. I hose tho latter gladly exchanged for glass beads and hawks' boils; and both parties ex ulted in tho bargain, no doubt ad miring tbeotlier'ssiinphcily. Asgold, however, was an object of royal mo nopoly in all euterpiises of discovery, Columbus forbade any t radio in it without his express sanction; and ho put tho samo prohibition on the t radii; for cotton, reserving to tho crown all trade for it, wherever it. should bo found in any quantity. JIo inquired of the natives where this gold was procured. Thoy answer ed him by signs, pointing to the south, where, he understood them, dwelt a king of such wealth that ho was served in vessels of wrought gold. Ho under stood, also, that thiro was land to the southwest, and the northwest; and that the people from tho last mentioned quarter frequently proceed ed to t ho southwest in quest of gold and precious stones, making in their way descent upon the islands, and carrying oil tho inhabitants. Sever al of tho natives showed him scars of wounds received in battle with these invaders. It is evident that a great part of this fancied intelligence was delusion on the part of Columbus; for ho was under a spell of the imagina tion, which gave'its own shapes and colors to every object. He was persuaded that he had ar rived among the Islands described by Marco Polo, as lyingoppositoCathay, in tho Chinese Sea, anil ho construed every thing to accord with the account given of these opulent regions. Thus the enemies which the natives apoko of as coming from the northwest, he concluded to be tho people of thd mainland of Asia, the subjects of the great Khan of Tart a ry, who wero rep resented by tho Venetian traveler as accustoine'd to make war upon tho Is lands, and to enslave thciuhnbitants. The country to tho south abounding in gold, could bo no other than the fanioiH island of Cipango; and the king who was served out of vessels of gold, must be the monarch whoso mag nificent city and gorgeous pnltice.covor ed with plates of gold, had been extoll ed in such splendid terms by Marco Polo. Tho island whoroColuinbus had thus, for the llrst time, set his foot upon tho New World, was called by tho natives, (iiianahane. It still retains thoname of San Salvador, which he gave to it, though called by tho hnghsh tat Is land. While a young man was eating sup per at a restaurant in Now Hertford, Mass.. ho missed his watch. He at once searched his team for it, and just as ho was about to give up tho quest one of tho horsoa lifted his fool and disclosed tho watch imbedded in tho hollow of tho shoe. It had not mis tained theslightost injury. An old physician in Buffalo who lost his windpipe and larynx by cwtcor, and with them tho power of scch, has had a silver tube inserted in hi throat, by thoaid of which ho bivathe. freely and can articulate ho as to l understood but with a tone of xl&. that has no variation. Brlglinm nml Amelia. While the majority of tho "faithful" arc agitated and excited over tho turn affairs have taken, and not a few of them are packing up preparatory to journeying to tho new Mormon strong hold, wherever that may bo, Amelia Young, the twenty-third and last wife of Brigham Young, goes quietly and serenely nbout her household duties as usual. Sho has no love for tho Mormons, and she tnkes no trouble to conceal tho fact. Her present resi dence is ono of the most desirable and handsome in tho city, and yet it can not comparo with tho palatial man sion which old Briglinin had built and presented to her, and which still bears tho namo "Amelia's palace." Old John Taylor holds forth in it at pres ent. But his time, ns well as that ot the rest of them, bids fair to bo short. Tho story of Amelia's marriago to Brigham and a few incidents of after lifo aro very interesting. An old lady who at one timo was Amelia's school teacher at Council Bluffs, la., tells tho following tale: Upon ono occasion when Brigham Young was passing through Council Blufls, on his way to Sale Lake, ho caught sight of Amelia's pretty face and fino figure, and immediately re solved to add another one to his hnr em. Tho girl's parents werogood Mor mons and'their consent to the union was joyfully given. Not so with tho girl. She had a stout will as well as a handsome form and pretty face, and sho declared that she would not mar ry "tho ugly old heathen." Her par ents, however, wero determined not to lose tho chance of gettingso near heav en by such an alliance, and sternly commanded Amelia to don her robes and take tho hand of tho all-powerful Brigham. Seeing that sho would bo compelled to marry him if sho staid at home, tho grit made her way to a neighbor's, told them her story, and received her sympathy and protection. Her parents instituted a search, dur ing which Amelia hid in a root-cellar, over tho door of which was a wood house. The kind people carried her meals to her without attracting sus picion, until the third day ono of the spies employed observed steam aris ing from u basket which thogentleman was carrying to tho woodhouse. This led to her discovery, nnd, as sho was under age, her parents took charge of her. After a hard struggle Amelia finally consented to marry tho great Mor mon, but declared: "If I do marry him, I'll have my own way, and ho will find it out." Ho did. Several years after their marriage, upon ono occasion Amelia told Brig ham to buy her a Singer sewing-machine. The old man promised to send it up that day, and walked off with his liand in luspoeketthinking.doubt- icss, now many tunes ic wouiti uiko to pay for it. By tho timo ho got down-town ho forgot what kind of a michniu) was wanted, consequently it was a Wheeler fc Wilson that the men brought up-stairs to Amelia's sitting room. As soon as that lady saw that her orders bad not been obeyed to the letter sho deliberately pulled tho of fensive niaehino to tho head of tho stairs, and, giving it a push, down it went, humpty-buhip, until it reached the bottom, all broken to pieces. The next dny a ''Singer" stood in ,t ho place allotted for it and nothing more was said of tho affair. Upon another occasion, when Brigham had number of distinguished guests. Amelia, who was present at tho din ner-table, amused horsed by hulling some nuts that were on tho table and throwing the shells out of the window. Brigham manifested his annoyaneo at it his proceeding without effect, when ho exclaimed: "Amelia, my dear, I wish you would not throw those shells out upon tho grass. They make such a muss." "If you don't liko to have them there you can pick them up," said the wayward favorite, as sho arose from her-chair and left the room. When sho had left Hrigham turned to his guests and said: "I hope you will excuse my wife. She is so headstrong that 1 cannot control her." In tlio Confederacy's Tjiist Days. I visited Mobile in March, ISflf), on odieial business, nnd, of course took a week to do ono day's business in and spend a useless surplus of six months' pay. An invitation to dinner was an event in a soldier's life to besought for by patient strategy, and tho dinner if secured, treasured in memory for months after, to bo related, item by item, to tho boys in camp, who took great plcaaureinlisteningto every de tail of tho feast. Tho staple food was orn bread with bacon and flourgravy, but wealthy families had a very few wheat biscuits on tlio table at dinner only. It wasetiipietto of homo visit ors to eat but one or two of these, on tho polite supposition that the guests had such delicacies at home, but a sol dier was urged and expected to eat his till. 1 remembor hearing an aside re mark mado by ono wealthy and hos pitable lady to another about their clergyman's daughter, who was then visiting, or rather foraging, amongtho faithful. "Sho eats live biscuits, and Hour $ 100 a barrel!"

Ono meal at a hotel cost S5, and no one got as much as he could eat at that price. regular allowance of corn meal, cof fee, oatmeal, biscuit, fried bacon, and in some cases fried chicken, were served, When consumed the waiters reported "all give out." Sometimes a hog at the table would take the last two bis cuits, holding ono in reserve while eat ing the other, hut this was rare nnd apt to bo rebuked by some spectator who was "heeled." Tho Confederate soldier was usually a gentleman, or lesired to appear ns such. St. Louia Republican. George I2Hots Private Life. North American Bovlcw. What some liberal critics would call tho great mistake of her lifo, if not, as both England and American matron hood asserts, the great blot on her character, was her marriage to George II. Lewes. According to English law tho marriago was illegal. Tho wifo of Mr. Lewes abandoned him after com mitting adultery; she felt, or pretend ed to feel remorse at her conduct, nnd was received back into tho house she hnd dishonored. Then sonic new se ducer tempted her to fly away from her husband nnd children. The home became homeless. By a technicality of English law, Lowes had forfeited his right to bo divorced from his faithless partner, because, in a moment of compassion, he had received her back as Ins "lawfully" wedded wife. In this condition, as a twice-dishonored hus band, ho met with Miss Evans. lie wnS fascinated by her and she gradu ally became fascinated by him. There wna no outward beauty on either side; Lewes was one of the handsomest men in Great Britain, and Miss Evans had no personal attraction, if wo except the sweetness of her voice nnd tho sin gular beauty of the expression of the eyes. Each saw tho vision of the other "in tho mind." Miss Evans, repudiating tho technicality of the English law, consented to bo united to Mr. Lewes, went abroad with him, was married to him, wo .think in some foreign city, and returned to England a kind of a social rebel, frowned upon by all women except those intimnte friends who knew her motives nnd never faltered in their friendship. As shenover sought "society," and rather disliked it, sho boro with exemplary patience all the social disadvantages of her illegal rather than immoral conduct. Seven years before her union we find in ono of her letters this re mark about tho novel of "Jane Eyre," then tho literary sensation of tho sea son: "All self sacrifice is good, but one would liko it to bo a somewhat nobler cause than that of a diabolical law which chains a man, soul and body, to a putrefying carcass." After her marriage she wrote to her iriend Mrs. Bray that any unworldly, unsuper stitious woman who is sufficiently ac quainted with the realities of lifo can pronounce my relations to Mr. Lowes unmoral; I can only understand by remembering how subtle and complex are tho influences which mould opin ion." Whatever mny bo thought of tho le gality or morality of tho connection there can bo no doubt it led to tho happiest results to both parties. Lewes had been practically homeless for two years. There was danger that his children would grow up un educated and uncared for. Ho was fast drifting into Bohemian habits. Four years after his now marriago .Mrs. Lewes states in her journal that their "double lifo is more and more blessed more and more complete." A few weeks after Lowes writes in his journal that ho howos an intellectual debt of gratitutcTto Herbert Spencer. He says: "My acquaintance with him was tho brightest ray in a very dreary, wast ed period of my life. ' I owe him another nnd deeper debt . It was through him that 1 learned to know Marian to know her was to love her and since then my lifo has been a now birth. To her I owe nil my pros perity and happiness. Uod bless her!" AC.Iga.ntie lJuiilc Safe. From the London Globe. A gigantic strong room, the largest ever constructed, measuring fifty ieot in length, and weighing close upon 100 tons, has just been erreeted for tho National Bank of Scotland by Messrs. Chubb, Tho entire structure is of hard steel. The plates wero specially rolled, and after tho boring had been completed, wero again tempered to render them unassailable by tools of any kind. Thofcafo consists of tlireo rooms, each entered by a separate door and grille, measuring seven feet, by three feet four inches, and the doo.rs weigh a ton each, notwithstand ing which-they turn on their two pins with tho greatest ease. The locks, of which no less than forty-eight aro con tained in the structure, aro all of the latest pattern, having bolts all round, which shoot at angles of forty-live de grees, forming a powerful dovetail in to the frames. The bolts in each door weigh two hundredweight, but by care ful balancing they are shot with the greatest ease. In each partition divid ing tho rooms is a man-hole, also guarded by locks and bolts, for allow ing access to tho rooms in the event of tho door key being mislaid. Tho doors are seven inches thick, and tho plates are all treble, thus giving a practically adamantine strength. The capacity of tho safe insufficient tocon tnm 1,250 tons' weight of gold bullion, equal in value to .110,000,000 ster ling. The hafe will bo tnkeu to pieces previous to being shipped on board a steamer for Scotland, and will bo removed in 000 sections. Each of these sections contains no less than 1,000 rivet holes, tho bolt being in each case broken off and filed down close, when it has been driven home. Tho lato Emory Storrs used to tell of an incident which, ho said, occurred in front of a hotel in Chicago. An English lord stood picking his teeth in an inconspicuous place beside a stone pillar. A man approached him stealthily and delivered a prodigious stage kick, which, while it did not hurt the lord, tilled him with more aston ishment than he had ever felt before. Thou the assailant rushed forward to tho lord, and with profound apologies, and expressions of contrition nnd in quiries as to my lord's condition of body and mind, explained that a mis take had been made. The valiant joker had supposed ho was stealing unawares upon his dearest friend. "Ah! yes," eaid the Englishman quiet ly. "But tell me Is your friend fond of that sort of thing?''
