In 1492 Columbus discovered America, and, as tho stream of treasure slowly llowed into Europe, a new life dawned. It u-as opening of modern times. For the first fifty years, says tho Port- nightly Review, the influx of the precious metals was not enormous, but Potosi was opened in 1545, and then tbe flood of silver reached its height, and the power of the stimulant was felt. "Silver sunk in its real value, or would exchange for a smaller quantity of labor than before; and corn rose in its nominal price, and instead of being commonly sold for about two ounces ol silver the quarter came to be sold for six and eight," Yet though there was this great rise in commodities, the relative values ol the precious metals remained unaltered during the whole ol the sixteenth century, and ill 1600 the ratio of gold to silver was twelve to one, precisely whgre it had been two hundred years before. Nothing is more curious and interesting than to watch the impulse given to intellectual activity as the tide of money ran from south to north.

In 1515 Raphael and Michael Angelo were in their prime; in 1519 Luther denied the papal supremacy; in 1309 Calvin was born at Noyon, while Shakespeare did not see the 3ight till Science came a little later, lor Galileo was not eminent much before 1589, and Kepler only took his master's degree in 1591. Adam Smith says that the new silver "does not seem to have had any very sensible effect upon the prices of things in England till after 1570." But within twenty-five years from then Shakespeare was writing his plays, Bacon was in parliament, and Drake had become the greatest seaman of the world. In 1000 the morchants ol London founded tho East India company, the first step toward England's commercial supremacy. KILLED BY THEIR ARMOR. Highest of an in LeaverJng TJ.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and Secretary Gresbam can congratulate them- aelvee that. they have succeeded in satisfying somebody- This somebody, however, ia not an. American citizen but a iubjeot of Queen Victoria. The editor of the Pall Mall Gazette is the man that is pleased wlih the conduct of these American officials. Commenting on -the trouble between Great Britain and Nicaragua, he Baya that nothing 1 could be more courteously correct than the attitude of the United States in the difficulty, adding: "It Is a good omen for a close understanding upon the China-Japan question.

Our action may be expected to teach the Spanish. American states that none of them are too Insignificant to behave decently to foreigners." It Weighed Too Much for the Stouten liuflftlan Knldleri. One of the interesting features of the late czar's funeral was, as usual, the two men clad in medieval armor, ono on horseback and the other on foot. The mounted knight had his visor open and his armor was ol burnished gold, which glittered hi the sun. He symbolized life.

Tho other waa on loot; his armor was coal-black steel j' his visor was closed, and in his hand he bore a drawn two- handed sword, the blade ol which was shrouded in crape. He symbolized death. Tho weight ol those two suits ol armor Is that, notwithstanding the most gigantic men ol the imperial guard being selected to don them, the ono on loot who officiated at the obsequies ot Emperor Nicholas I. fell dead from exhaustion on reaching tho church ol SS. Peter and Paul, where tho imperial mausoleum is situated; while at the funeral ol Alexander II.

tho black knight fainted during tho march from the winter palace to the place ol interment and wus carried to the hospital, where he died the same night. A similar fato overtook the black knight at tlio recent czar's funeral. It was observed that he could scarcely drag himself along during the latter part of the procession tliroufrh tho capital, and on reaching tho fortress he sank unconscious to the ground and has since died.

DISCUSSING tbe war atrenpth of Eu. ropean nations as compared with the available foroea of thla country, the Now York Press gives the following interesting facts: "Germany has 3,750,000 men, all told, that could be put Into aotlva uer. vice; Italy 2,550,000 and Austria 1,600,000, makiDfr a total of.

the Triple Alliance of 7,900,000 men. Russia has 5,780.000 men and France 4.000,000, a total of 9,780,000. Supposing, for argument's Bake, that either the Triple Alliance or the Dual Alliance were to attack tbeUnlted States, both of which suppositions are highly Improba. ble, this country could put into the field 9,865,247 men of whom 5 per sent. have a knowledge, more or less, of military affairs.

Then come Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky 529; Missouri, 380.000; Wisconsin, Texae, New Jersey, and Mississippi, 283.480, Then the list continues from Iowa with 269,510 to Arizona with 5.700.

Mental Exorcise If Said to Bo Conducive to Longevity. As a factor in longevity tho London Speaker calls attention to the fact that those people who- have been accustomed to the continued disciplinary use of their brains daily and who have placed their nerve power under a hiR-Uy-de- velopod constitutional training aro enabled by these very means to escape the so-called early decay and to avoid those alarming- accidents to health from which so many apparently healthy men succumb. People who use their brains nnd observe ordinary hygienic care of their bodies resist diseases in the first place; and when they aro actually ill they prolong their lives or recuperate sooner tnan do those who hove lived less intellectual lives.

Thus there is given a new force to tho assertion that you may kill a man with anxiety very quickly, but it is difficult to kill him with work. Whether tho brain can actually give power to the muscles is not certain, though the enormous strength sometimes developed in a last rally looks very much like it. That it can materially affect vitality is quite certain, and has been acknowledged by the experienced in all ages. Tho Got About and Tlrtr Temn Aco. The produce was carried in sacks on horseback or on sledges, or (later in the centmry) on tumbrils, which were sledges on "tumbling" wheels of solid wood, with wooden axle trees, all revolving tog-ether.

These machines, says the Scottish Eeview, were often so small that in a narrow passage the carter could lift them bodily, for they held little more than a wheelbarrow. They had wheels a foot and a half to diameter, made of threo pieces wood pinned together liiie a butter firkin, and which quickly wore out and became utterly, shapeless, so tha' a load of six hundred pounds waa enormous for the dwarfish animals to drag Yet even such vehicles were triumphs of civilization when they came Into use the century was young-. Carts are a later invention still, anc when one, in 1723, first carried its tiny load of coals from East Kilbrido to Cambuslang, "crowds of people," it reported, "went to see the wonderful machiTio; tbey looked with surprise and returned with astonishment." In many parts of the lowlands they were not in ordinary use, even till 1760 while in the northern districts sledges, or creels on tho backs of women, were chiefly employed to the end of the century. The wretched condition of the roads was the chief cause of the reluctant adoption of carts. In the driest weather the roads were unfit for carriages, and in wet weather almost impassable, even for deep in ruts of mire, covered with stones, winding up heights and down hills to avoid swamps and bogs.

It was this prccariQus state of tho roads which obliged judges to ride on circuit, and a practice began as a physical necessity was retained as a dignified habit, so that in Lord Dun resigned his judgeship because he was no longer-able to "ride on circuit." NOCTURNAL FISHING. Trout Caught When It In Too Dark to See. tho clear stroams of western New York (including the celebrated Spring creek of Caledonia) in which I have fished for several years, it is the custom to do a great deal of night-fishing in July and August, as at that season tho large fish seem to be moving and feeding only at night, writes an angler in Forest and Stream. Many anglers there do not start for the stream till after dark during the hot weather, and though smaller trout will rise at dark as before, the largest ones are almost invariably taken much later, particularly on warm nightSt Of course tho leaders and flics used nt night are much larger than those used in the daytime, and a long cast is not necessary. It is the custom to let the fly sink, and a bit of worm on tho fly Is a great help, though, of course, one does not dwell on that feature when telling about his catch the next day.

The flies used aro the red and brown hackles, grizzly king, wliite miller, etc. I have taken many trout when it waa so dark I could'not see the fly on tho surface of the water for that matter. One pool In particular I remember that was entirely surrounded and overhung with largo forest, trees, and at ten o'clock at night was as dark as any place I ever saw, yet I have taken trout there often at that hour during August. JOHNSON WAS DRUNK, WINTER IN THE SUBURBS. AVhco the Glad Rprlnc Joj Supreme.

There is perhaps nothing more disagreeable to the average lover of comfort than to have to spend a winter in the suburbs, writes one who has had the experience, in Harper's Bazar, where there is nothing at all going on but the household bills, and where the wind blows the snoiv about at such a rate that when the boy digs a path to the sidewalk, it is so well covered by the Vime he readies the street that ho has to make a new path that he may get back to the house And then the wind moans dismally about the chimney all, night, and shakes the house so that the pictures swing on the walls, and the quinine pillsratdein a merry tattoo in the bottle on the bureau. And this wind blows dawn the chimney, and makes tho curtains Cap like sails, and cools the room, and blows the ashes off the hearth until the room seems filled with a dense London fog. The milkman doesn't arrive until the head of the house has left for the train. Then comes a in 'the roof that late the slnsh trickle, down into Condition of Llncoln'i flco President the Inuuguratlon. Xoah Brooks tells the following story in his personal reminiscences of Lincoln in the Century: "All eyes were turned to the main entrance, where, precisely on the stroke of twelve, appeared Andrew Johnson, vice president elect, arm in arm with Hannibal namlin, whose term of office was now expiring.

They took seats together on tbe dais of the presiding officer, and namlin made a brief and sensible speech, and Andrew Johnson, whose face was extraordinarily red, presented to take the oath. It is needless to say here that the unfortunate gentleman, who had been very ill, was not altogether sober at this important moment of his life. In order to strengthen himself for the physical and mental ordeal through which ho was about to pass he had taken a stiff drink of whisky in the room of the vice president, and the warmth of the senate chamber, with possibly other physical conditions, had sent the aery liquor to his brain. He was evidently intoxicated. As he went on with his.

speech he turned upon tbe cabinet officers and addressed them as "Mr." Stanton," "ilr. Seward," withoutthe official handles to their names. Forgetting- Mr. Welles' narae, ho saidV'and you, "Hr, Then leaning over to Col- Forney, he said: "Wliat is. ihe name of the secretary of the and then continued as though nothii'g had happened.

Seward was as bland and serene as a summer Stanton appeared to be petrified; 'Welles' face was usually void of any expression; Speed sat with his eyes closed; Dennison.

was red and white by turns. Among the union senators Henry Wilson's face was flushed; Sumner wore a saturnine and sarcastic smile, and most of tho others turned and twisted in their senatorial chairs as if in long drawn agony, Of the supreme bench. Judge Nelson only was apparently moved, his lower jaw being dropped clean down in blank horror. Chase was marble, adamant, granite in immobility until Johnson turned his back upon the senate to take the oath, when he exchanged glances with Nelson, who then closed his mouth. When Johnson had repeated inaudibly the oath of cilice, his hand upon the book, he turned and took the Bible in his hand, nnd facing the audience said, with a loud theatrical voice and gesture: "I kiss this book in the face of my nation of the United States." WELLINGTON WAS CHEERED.

Whipped the French, Bat "He Like Goucleman. While Wellington was still a marquis he went to Paris from Toulouse, where he had fought and won the last battle of the Peninsular war. He went to the opera the same evening, and, though he wore plain clothes and sat in the bade of the box, he was almost immediately recognized by some one in the pit, who cried out: The name was taken up by others, and at last the entire pit rose, turned to the box and called: "Vive Velllng- ton!" Nor would the people be satisfied until he had stood up and bowed to them, when he was cheered and applauded again, says Frank Harrison's Family Magazine, At the end of the performance the passage from the box was found to be crowded with people. The ladies of the party drew back nervously, but the duke said: "Come along!" in his brusque way, and conducted them on. While they were still in the corridor a man in the crowd was heard to say'to his companions: "But why arc you.

applauding so ranch? He has always beaten us!" This was very true, and the question seemed a natural one, but the answer was charming: "Yes, but he has always beaten us like a gentleman!"

For general get up and get, and dash and style and comfort, old stew couldn't begin to compare with it The modern oyster stew is ono ol many things that we do an everlasting sight better than we did." A French journal relates au incident in which a haughty functionary received what in the vernacular ol our own country would be called a "neat set-down." This haughty person was a member of the chamber of deputies and much given to long speeches. One day he found another deputy conversing 1 in the lobby with a man whoso face seemed familiar to him, but whom he could not remember. He fancied the man must be an intruding journalist.

"Pardon me," he said to tho other man, "but whom have we here?" "Allow mo to introduce to you," answered the deputy, "the man who has written more falsehoods and stupidities than any other man living." "Indeedl" said the great man. "Then my supposition was correct that he is a journalist?" "Not at all; he is the official reporter ol tho chamber." frlcM" of Penlan A young girl in some ol tho Persian tribes costs her first husband ono hundred tomans, or about three hundred dollars.

The JIlddle-Aeed Man It with the Stow at tho War. "When I was a boy, before the war," said a middle-aged man to a New York Sun reporter, "the price of an oyster stew in a good ordinary restaurant was twelve and a half cents. The price has gradually gone up until now in a good restaurant an ordinary stew costs a quarter. In the old restaurant there was a csloth upon the table, but this cloth, unless you happened to find it when it had just been put on, was apt to be frescoed with cofleo stains. There were catsup and vinegar and so on, some of them perhaps in.

bottles in caster. Perhaps the waiter gave you a pickle or two. The light was not very bright. The waiter brougbt'the stew in an oyster plate, and as the hot brotb washed about a little in the plate, as he carried it and set it down, you were afraid it might burn his thumb. But the oysters were good.

Let me pause to remark that the oyster is something to be grateful for. 'To-day the table, without cloth, perhaps, is of cherry or mahogany, finely jpolished.
