LI COLUMBUS CENTENARY; t CELEB RATING AMERICA'S DISCOV ERY ONE HUNDRED TEARS AGO. Tho Annlvrrwnrjr 1'cHtlvnl at Now York In 1702 Illuminated Monn- nirnt of the Columbian Order. Tho name, of Ooltimbtn, which had lpcn strujjijlinir in poetical obscurity for acveral years before tho inauguration of Washinjrton n President in 1789, just hen broke out all over the country, and nowhere more conspicuously than in New York, where it found its first place in legislation in 1789. Tho nnmo and f;imo of Christopher Columbus resounded throughout the land, and as the third century after his great achievement drew near to its close a keen cense of the world's injustice to the memory of one of the greatest of the sons of man pervaded tho whole community. A writer in a New York journal on the 18th of August, 1792, quotes a Philadelphia paper as say ing: "The 12th of October next will complete three centuries since the immor tal Columbus put foot on the New World," and emphasizing the "propriety of cele brating tho Columbian Century anniver sary.'' The same paper two weeks Inter, August 29, 1792, reports: j On the 3d of August inst., being pre cisely 300 years since the departure of Columbus from Pulos, in Spain, a gentle man from Maryland had the corner stone laid of an obelisk in one of the gardens of a villa near the town of Baltimore in commemoration of that great undertak ing. Suitable inscriptions, on metal tablets, nre to bo affixed to the pedestal of the obelisk on tho 12th of next October." etc. i New York availed herself of the oppor tunity, and stepped to the front with the first celebration of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus at the third and beginning: of the fourth cen tury after that event on tho 12th day of October, 1792. It cannot fail to bo interesting to the reader to peruse the details of that celebration as preserved in a contemporary account of the pro ceedings on that occasions of the Tam many Society or Columbian Order: The 12th inst. (October, 1792) being the commencement of the fourth Co lumbian Century, was observed as a Century Festival by the Tammany So ciety, and celebrated in that style of sentiment which distinguishes this social and patriotic institution. J In tho evening a monument was erected to the memory of Columbus, ornamented by transparency, with a variety of suitable devices. This beauti ful exhibition was exposed for the gratification of public curiosity some time previous to tho meeting of tho so ciety. T An elegant oration was delivered by Mr. J. B. Johnson, in which several of the principal events of the life of this re markable man were pathetically de scribed, and the interesting consequences to which his great achievements had already and must still conduct the affairs of mankind, were pointed out in a manner extremely satisfactory. During the evening's entertainment, a variety of national amusement was en joyed. The following toasts were drunk : 1. The memory of Christopher Colum bus, tho discoverer of this New World. 2. May the new world never exper ience the vices and miseries of the old ; and be a happy asylum for the oppressed of all nations and of all religions, ' 3. May peace and liberty ever pervade the Lnited Colurnbiau Mates. 4. May thii be tho last Century Festival 'of the Columbian Order that 9 slave on this globe. 5. Thomas Paine. (i. The Rights of Man. 7. May tho Fourth Century be as re markable for tho improvement and knowledge of tho rights of man as tho first was for discovery and the improve ment of nautic science. 1 8. Lu Fayette and the French nation. I 9. May the liberty of tho French rise superior to all the efforts of Austrian des potism. , 10. A Burgoyning to the Duke of Brunswick. I 11. May the deliverers of America never experience that ir. gratitude from their Country which Columbus ex perienced from his King. 12. May the genius of liberty, as she has conducted the sons of Columbia, with glory to the commencement of the fourth ceutuury, guard their fame to the end of i'2"- i 13. The ilny. , U. Washington, the deliverer of the new world. Several moral and patriotic songs, in rulating the Love of Country and of Freedom, were gratifying in the highest degree. ' The monument is upward of fourteen feet in height, being well illuminated, and resembling black marble. It blends in an agreeable manner a grave and solemn with a brilliant appearance. At the base a globe appears emerging out of the clouds and chaos, presenting a rude sketch of the once uncultivated coast of America. On its pyramidal post. History is seen drawing up the curtain of oblivion, which discovers the four fol lowing representations : : First, aud on the right side of the obelisk, are presented a commercial port and an expanding ocean. Here Colum bus, while musing over the insignia of geometry and navigation, the favorite studies of his youth, is instructed by sci ence to cross the great Atlantic. She ap pears in luminous clouds hovering over its skirts; with ouu huud she presents Colum bus with a compas, and with the other she points to the setting sun. Under her feet is seen a sphere, the eastern half of which is made to represent tho then kuown terraqueous globe; the western is left a blank. Ou the Jiedestal is the fol lowing iuscriptiou: "This monument was erected by the Tammany Society, or Columbian Order, October 12, mdi cxeii., to commemorate the IV'th Columbian Century. An inter esting aud illustrious ara." On the upper part of the obelisk are seen the arms of Genoa, supported by the beak of a prone eagle. The second side or front of the monu ment shows the first luudiug of Colum bus. He is represented in a state of adoration, his followers prostrate as sup plicants around him, and a group of American natives at a distance, lli-toii-cal truth is attended to, and the inscrip tion on the pedestal is as follcwb: "Sacred to the mcinoryf Christopher Colutiiliu-.tlic discoverer of a new world, October J'', UM." Above, the arms of Kuropr and Amer ica are blended ami supported as on the lilit side of the monument. The third or left side exhibits the iplcadid reception of Columbus by tho Court of Spain on his first return from Americ. He is seated at tho right hand of Ferdinand and his illustrious patroness, Isabella. A map of newly-discovered countries, with some of their peculiar pro ductions lying at hii feet, distinguish the interesting scene. Above the prone eagle supports the arms of Isabella, and on tho jiedestal is tho following inscrip tion : "Columbus was born at Genoa, 1447; was received by tho Court of Spain in triumph, 1493; was put in chains by its order September, 1500; died at Yalla dolid, May 20, 1506." The last scene, exhibited on the rear or fourth side of the obelisk, strongly con trasts with the one just described : Colum bus is seen in his chamber pensive and neglected. The chains with which ho had been cruelly loaded hang against its bare walls, on which is seen written: "The Ingratitude of Kings." To cheer his declining moments, the Genius of Liberty appears before him. The glory which surrounds him seems to illuminate his solitary habitation. The emblems of desKitism and superstition are crushed beneath her feet; and, to intimate the gratitude and respect of prosperity, she points to a monument sacred to his mem ory reared by the Columbian Order. On the, pedestal Nature is seen caressing her various progeny; her tawny offspring seemed to mourn over the urn of Colum bus. The upper part of the. obelisk is em bellished as on the other sides. Hut tho eagle, as an emblem of civil Government, is seen no longer prone or loaded with tho decorations of heraldry. She soars m an open sky grasping in her talons a scroll inscribed "The Mights of Man." The "portable monument obelisk" thus "exhibited at the great wigwam, nmid the plaudits of the beholders," was sub sequently added to the attritions of Mr. Howen s Museum and Wax Work, at the Exchange, New York, where the discov ery of America was again commemorated on its three hundred aud first nnniversary, October 12, 1793. Of tho subsequent fate of this early monument to Columbus I am unable to give any account at this time. AV York Timet. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. The next international archndogical Congress is to bo held in Christiania in 1891. It is goncrally believed that malaria is due to disease germs of vegetable nature. It is stated that there arc nearly 100 varieties of mosquitoes in the United Slates. The loss of light in passing through glass has been tested by two physicians of Boston. It is reported that foreign scientists have discovered minute diamonds in meteorites found in Siberia. A mixture of finely powdered mica and crude petroleum is suid to be giving remarkable results as a lubricant. Simultaneous observations taken in all parts of the country show that nearly all great storms follow tho same general direction, from tho West to the East.

Mr. .Theodore Urban states that ho lias evidence that America was settled about 65U years after the deluge, snd that the tribes that sprung up had tools of metal as well as of stone. Tho population of Norway shows a higher percentage of light eyes (95.25) than any other country in Europe. Black hair is found in only 2 per cent., and red hair in 1.5 per cent. The Unter den Linden, of Berlin, with three lines of nrc lamps separated by two rows of trees, is said to be tho best illuminated thoroughfare in the world. Tho wires are under ground. Trichina in muscle can be detected, according to Dr. Clore, n Spanish prac titioner, by placing thin slices of the suspected meat in a test tule with pep- sine, water, and a littlo hydrochloric acid. The greatest known depth of the ocean is midway between the island of Tristan d'Acuuha and the mouth of the Rio do la Plata. The bottom was there reached at a depth of 40,236 feet, or of miles. After immersion in water for thirty seven days, specimens of pine were found by Professor I). V. Wood to have been lengthened 0.065 per cent., oak 0.085 percent., and chestnut 0.165 per cent., the lateral swelling being 2.6 per cent, for pine, 3.5 per cent, for oak, and 3.65 per cent, for chestnut. Tho Annalt of llyijiene has discovered there is nothing that so quickly restores tone to exhausted nerves and strength to a weary body as a bath containing an ounce of aqua ammonia to each pail of water. It makes the flesh firm and smooth as marble, and renders the body pure aud free from all odor. The great elevator built on the nuav ut Lulu by the Swedish-Norwegian Railway Company, for loading iron ore direct into ships, has now been finished, and its operation is reported to be a success, the elevator raising three trucks simul taneously in two minutes, the same being then moved along the rails to shoots leading into the holti of the ship and emptied. The whole arrangement is said to bo so perfect that a ship of some twenty-live hundred tons may be loaded in a day. A Dead Whale Thought to be an Island. Mariners have been talking about a new island that they have discovered off the south coast of Newfoundland, in lutitudt forty-five degrees north, longitude fifty tive west. No such island adorned the maps, aud the hydrographio authorities therefore suspected that an island had risen from the sea. The mystery has now been dispelled. The Captain of the bark Otto, which arrived at Philadelphia the other day from Hamburg, reports that he sailed close to the island aud discov ered that it was an enormous dead whale. The creature, according to Captain Gruudsou, was about the largest whale ever wen in the, AtlaLiit; 100 feet long and thirty-five feet broad. Xem York Tribune. Outlawing the Squirrel. The squirrel must go. The Board of Supervisors of Alameda aud Contra Cos ta Counties, 0'alitoruia, have passed an oidinauec declaring squirrels a nuisance. Apparently the squirrels are so numerous ill these counties of California that they Hre compelled to feed on the crops, und thus have gained the enmity of tht farm. ! en. Xtvitrk Trilvnt. .... . THE FARM AND GARDEN. TltS MOUTH OF TrtE BOTtSS. Be careful of the horse's mouth. Men who jerk the reins because they are too mad to be sensible and humane, should have a bit placed in their own mouths and have it jerked by somo brutal fellow who would enjoy giving pain. In break ing colts be very careful about the mouth ; and never bit an animal that has a sore mouth while it continues so. Tho mouth of tho horse should be mors frequently examined than it usually is. Sometimes there is inflammation that needs attention, and occasionally it may even be necessary to draw a tooth. It is by no means un common that tho poor condition of a horse enn be traced to some ailment of the mouth which prevents the proper mastication of the food. It is not much trouble to open tho mouth nnd look into it, and it will often prevent trou jlc. New Oilcan Timet-Democrat. WHY DO BKK8 SWARM? Why do bees swarm? is a very simple question to answer. In the first place, they arc built on that plan, and, next, when the honey-flow is good, they com mence to renr queens, and a few days be fore a queen is ready to "break her 'shell'' and come out, she makes a piping noise, resembling tho peeping of a young chick. The old queen makes for tho young queen-cell, nnd will destroy tho queen if the "iKP-guards" do not prevent her. But, if they prevent it, the old queen kicks up a muss in tho hive, nnd the workers catch tho excitement and begin to fill up with honey not "brood food" the old queen leaves, and tho filled bees follow. To prevent swarming, persons who use the frame-hive can do so by raising out tho frames and finding tho queen-cells. Cut them out, and there will bo no warming, if they are kept cut out. THE HOPE CURE FOR KICKERS. During tho last thirty-five years a neighbor has cured over twenty horses of the kicking habit, without failing in any rase attempted. Following is his method : Take a half-inch ropo that has been stretched until it cannot stretch any more, tie it around tho horse six inches back of tho pad and bellyband of the harness; insert a short stick and twist it up nearly as tight as tho rope will bear without breaking, and tie the stick so that it will stay. Fasten tho horse in a stall where there is room behind him to wield a long lash whip, then strike him around the hind legs quite severely; at tho second or third blow he will generally kick with both feet with all his might, but only for two or three times. If he has been in the habit of kicking in har ness, drive him with tho rope on two weeks, or until ho quits making any threats. Some will kick once or twice with one foot, and bob up nnd threaten for several days. They should be tickled or teased, or have a basket or pail thrown under them or tied to a hind foot several times a day to make them try to kick, and until they cease to make any effort in that direction. The remedy is then effectual. After driving the animal half an hour tho rope should bo tightened. This will also euro bucking horses or any which try to throw their rider. New York Tribune, CHANGE OP PASTl'RE. It is a too common practice for land devoted to tho pasture to be given to the stock in a body, over which they have continuous and unrestricted range. That this is not good policy is apparent. The whole pasture surface is kept con stantly fouled and tread down. No por tion of it is allowed to freshen up during the grazing season. Actual test has proven that two five-acre pastures, fed alternately, aro worth much more than one ten-acre field fed continuously. The grass roots have a much better chance to in tho former, especially in the dry time. They nre not then constantly trampled, and tho protecting growth above fed down. One-half the pasture is allowed an uninterrupted growth of several days while tho other is being fed. This in turn will offer fresh feed while tho first is getting a rest, and so, alternately through the growing season. . The expense of thus separating the pasture into parts is slight indeed com pared with tho benefits realized. It is supposed that the pasture is already sur rounded with fence. All that is required to make the division is to run a fence across the pasture. This fence may us ually be of a rather light, temporary character, as there is nothing ou either side to tempt stock to make a breach, and no great damage to bo done if they do. Movable panels may be staked in place, or three wires strung to form tho divis ion. The cost of this improvement in a ten-acro pasture would not be over eight dollars or ten dollars, while tho gain in a single season will treble this amount. American AgricuUitrUt, MOULTING. Some of the young hens hnvo already shed feathers and the process will go on until late in the fall. The l'oullry Monthly says: With healthy fowls the change passes over easily and quickly, while w ith others it is slow and irregular. Nature never intended that it should bo pro tracted aud injurious to their future use fulness. Wo kuow it is a 6evere drain on the fowls, still if they are healthy and get plenty of nutritious food of tho proper quality for feather making, and are kept away irom chilly rains, there is no dun gcr. During moulting the best hens usually decline to lay eggs, and they lose their vivacity. When they moult early, there is a probability that they will begin to lay early in winter; for this reason alone young hens are preferred as tho main stock ; they will lay more eggs, and their flesh is fit for the table when needed. A few old hens for sitting niuy be advisable, but the one who says that old hens are to be preferred to young ones, must have a warped und senseless judgment. It is a good plan to separate the males from the females during moulting ; there is no necessity for companionship, as the season of breeding is over, and it is bet ter that the breeders should have rest to recuperate after a season's work, so they will be iu good condition when their services will bo needed. Tho young, too, should be separated, for when they reach a certain uge, the mules aro npt to become troublesome. When there is a judicious separation, and euch run having birds about the sumo size and age, a more systematic couiju of feeding, care and management can be given ; each lot comes more directly uuder the breeder's super vision, aud he tan detect their ills aud faults much sooner and quicker than if they wcro promiscuously running to rather.

But no plant grown is more healthful, nnd it should bo more generally on farmers' tables dur ing fall and wjnter. It costs a good deal to buy celery, as it requires extra rich ground and a good deal of labor to grow it fit for market. When tho con ditions are right, the" market gardener finds celery ono of the most reliable and most profitable crop. If farmers tnnro generally grew celery, what thej did not need for their own use could bo most profitably sold. Dotton Vultitator. FARM AND OARPKN NOTES. Gather up the oggs regularly.

What kind of a bull have you at the head of your dairy herd I Spinach may bo sown this month for early cutting in tho spring. Good pasture will keep the swino in best condition at this season. Sweet corn may be had until frost by successive sowings of early varieties. Cutting and burning 'the bushes and weeds in pastures represents important work. Give poultry milk all summer. It is a healthy food anil drink for them com bined. The American ta inman recommends a law requiring each owner of a bull to saw its horns off. Give fancy fowl the go by nnd devote your attention to those which "jiay for their keeping." In hot weather tho churning should be done about the timo somo butter-makers set the cream away to sour. The Secretary of Agriculture furnishes information by the several divisions of tho department gratuitously to all appli cants. The introduction of fresh and limpid cream from separators into towns and such markets has created a growing demand for the article. If you have heifers that are milking from their first calves, let them bo fresh milkers again a year from September to October. It will pay you. To remedy sun-scald, C. II. English advises to head tho tree southwest, plant sunflowers on the south side of the treo and give good cultivation. Cut away the old canes from rasp berry and blackberry bushes as soon as fruit-gathering is over, leaving only those desired for fruiting next season. Young hogs will do no damage in the orchard, and will pick up all the wormy apples nnd keep the clover from killing out and the weeds from taking posses sion of the orchard. Too much corn is very ccnerallv as signed as a cause of hog cholera, and now a farmer advances tho opinion that too much corn has been the cause of cholera among his poultry. .. f he best of cows, tho richest of cream. the newest of machinery, and tho hand somest of packages will not insure good butter, if the "knack" of combining nil these has not been learned. The first year after the orchard is planted out tho young trees make a large growth, and this is the timo ad vised by a practical orchardist to prune and shape the trees. If you wait a few years you will have to cut off big limbs to shape the tree. Attend to trees whilo small. It is a light job then and does not injure them. WISE WORDS. Any one can net natural by keeping still. Every throb of tho heart is a new birth. Nono but the rich can afford "dear" friends. Competition is a necessity to tho activi ty of life. Tho only "fall of man" is when ho falls behind. Education that restraius the desire to learn is false. Nothing great was ever achieved with out enthusiasm. One of the sublimest things in the world is plain truth. Of tame beasts, the worst is the flat terer; of wild, the slanderer. Charity nnd personal force are the only investments worth anything. Whatever you dislike iu another per son take care to correct in yourself by the gentle reproof. Avoid him who, from mere curiosity, asks three questions running ubout a thing that caunot interest him. Any ono may do a casual act of good nature, but a continuation of them shows it is a part of the temperament. Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich. He that is content. Affectation is certain deformity; by forming themselves on fantastic models, the young begin with being ridiculous and often end with being vicious. Sweetness of temper is not acquired but a natural excellence, and, therefore, to recommend it to those who have it not, may be deemed rather an insult than advice. Women never truly command till they have given their promise to obey, and they are never iu more danger of being made slaves than when the. men are at their feet. Nothing more impairs authority than a too frequeut or indiscreet use of it. If thunder itself was to bo continual it would excite no more terror thau the noise of a mill. Nothing sinks a young man into low company, both of men und women, so surely as timidity and diffidence of himsel f . If he thinks that he shall not, ho may de peud upon it he will not please, and a degree of persuasion that he shall, it U almost certain that he will. Summer Scenes From a Snowy Peak. Tho Signal Service officer on Pike'i Peak, Col., said to a correspondent tin other day: "Sometimes I stand at the window with my telescope. I can see the houses of Colorado Springs, twenty miles away, tho men sitting in thcii shirt sleeves, sipping iced drinks to keep cool, the ladies walking about, in white summer robes. I lower the glass. The summer sceno is gone. Green trees, animal life, men aud wumca fade away like creatures in a dream, and I am tin only living thing in a world of eternal mow ai Its n siloncs," How the t'orrans Monrn, The Coir una go into very extenslv mourning for their friends. They hlda their faces from the public gazo and dress in sackcloth. Their mourning cost unit is not at all picturesque, but it is curious. The hat, stiff with starch, is of coarse hemp cloth and resembles somewhat art inverted bowl or old-fashioned soup tureen. Under tho hat is worn a hesd band and a cap. Tho hat, the cap and tho head band nre worn together the clay of the death, at tho funeral and nt the expiration of the first and second years of mourning. At other timrs during the mourning period the head band slone is worn. The mourning robe is mndo of n coarse hemp cloth similar to that of which the hat and screen are made, but with ex tremely largo meshes. Tho back is a wide straight piece, two gores extend from the armpits down and the front is a straight piece and a gore. It has a roll ing collar threo feet long and sleeves eighteen inches w ide, cut square. The The robes aro of a yellowish-brown nnd white in color, and nt tho bottom they measure nine and one-half feet in circum ference. Over this is worn a robe of finer quality nnd slashed up at tho sides. The sleeves are wider also. After the death of a father a girdle of hemp rope is worn. If it is n mother that is dead a hemp cloth sash is worn. A variety of hats are worn for mourning. A screen hemp cloth is always held in front of tho face by a mourner. It is considered a great offense to look into tho face of a mourner. Before missionaries were per mitted iu Coren they used to steal luto tho country by disguising themselves us mourners. W'athinylo IStar. Recognition In Birds. Mr. W. J. Stillman, writing to Xntur from Cauea, Crete, records a curious in stance of instinct in birds, which is by no means singular. A gardener living iu Zukaleria, threo miles from Cauea, ?aught a young but fully fledged sparrow in his garden, which he brought to tho house of a friend, with whom Mr. Still mnn and his family are staying in Canea. He presented the bird to olio of the chil dren in the house, it was put in a cage ind hung iu the window, and after a few hours it lost its fright and became placid. It was early in the morning when it was caught, and late in the afternoon an old bird was noticed fluttering about tho rage, while the young one was making frantic efforts to get out to tho old one. It was evidently tho mother of the fining bird, as the recognition was too ;ordial to havo been owing to tho in terest of a strange bird. On the cage .icing opened they both flew oft rndidly n the direction of Zulakcria, from w hich the old bird must have traced its nest ing by some instinct as it is impossible die had followed the gardener, or she vould have been observed earlier in the lav.
