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.

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."

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

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!"

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

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?''
