Bancroft, the Historian, and the Scandinavians.

Mr, George Bancroft, whose history of the United States is regarded as one of the most important contributions to American history, has made several important changes in his revised edition just issued from the publishing house of Appleton & Co., New York. In his late edition Mr. Bancroft asserts that the claim of the Northmen to the discovery of America 500 years before Columbus planted the cross on the island of San Salvador, rests on “narrations mythological in form and obscure in meaning.” In the year 1837 the claims of the Norwegians to the discovery of America in the tenth century were thoroughly and searchingly investigated by the Society of Northern Antiquarians at Copenhagen, and a splendid work, Antiquitates Americana;, published, which reduced tradition and “mythological narrations” to authentic history, showing to the world that not only were the Norwegians the discoverers of Greenland, but that they landed on the shores of New England and as far south as the coast of New Jersey, and even Carolina. Those bold mariners passed from Norway to Iceland, from Iceland to Greenland, thence to Labrador and farther south along the Atlantic coast. The researches of the Copenhagen society have produced facts and documents showing that the Northmen, in the tenth century, were the greatest navigators and explorers in the world, that they were the terror of Europe eten as far south as Sicily and Greece, whose coasts they invaded, and that it was those sturdy pioneers who gave the name of Vinland to the southeast cost of New England, having landed in the vicinity of Boston harbor and other points. Since the publication of this great work the intelligent and learned world have accepted the proofs and facts therein contained and collated to be the truth of history. Prof. Anderson, a celebrated scholar and professor of the Scandanavian languages in the University of Wiscon in, cites 127 works treat ing on this subject, and of these 113 give their judgment in favor of the Northmen being the first discoverers of America, and that as early as the tenth century. Nine, including Washington Irving, are in doubt, and only five, including Bancroft, the United States historian, cast their judgment in the negative. Prof. Anderson cites in the affirmative such illustrious names as Adam of Bremen, Grotius, Torfseus, Mallet, Crantz, Benjaman Franklin, Malte-Brun, Wheaton, Alexander von Humboldt, Edward Everett, Rafu, Cullen Bryant, and many others. The Northmen earned the name of sea kings. The women partook of the fierce character of the men. Intrepidity in the midst of the clash of arms and obiiviousness to danger could alone win their hearts. They even overran England, wrested Normandy from France, captured Belgium, and made incursions into Spain. They were foremost among the Crusaders, leading in the van of Peter the Hermit and the chivalry of Europe, in rescuing the tomb of our Lord, and they laid with their battle-axes, on the streets of Constantinople, the foundations of a great empire. “The old Norse Vikings,” says Professor Anderson, “sailed up the rivers Rhine, Scheldt, the Seine and Loire, conquering Cologne and Achen, where they turned the Emperor’s palace into a stable, filling the heart of eten the great Charlemagne with dismay. They carved their mystic runes' upon the marble lion in the harbor of Athens in commemoration of their cbnquest of that city, just as they left their runic inscriptions upon the rocks of America in commemoration of their visits to its shores.” The tenth century was the period of their greatest enterprise, when they turned their direction westward, discovering Iceland, Greenland, and the countries now known as the United States and Canada. A youth’s history of the United States, by T. Wentworth Higginson, Boston, though an ordinary school book, gives as an opinion that the Vinland of the Northmen was on the American continent; and the American Cyclopaedia says that the discovery of Greenland led to the discovery of the main land of America by Bjarni, son of Herjulf, in the year 986. In' the faee of the universal and everwhelming proofs that have been obtained through so many sources, it is difficult to see why Mr. Bancroft should fail to give them credence in his history of the Uni ed States. The fact that America was discovered by the Norwegians 500 years before Columbus does not in the least detract from the achievements and fame of the latter. It is certain that there was no knowledge in Europe at the time that there was any such country as America in existence, hence Christopher Columbus was an original discoverer of this continent, and to him, above all others, is the world indebted for the greatest event in the whole history of civilization. In the words of Edward Everett, Columbus has so near “approached the work of his Creator as to bring an unknown w v orld to the knowledge of his fellow men”—Town of Lake Vindicator.

A Story of Sumner.

Charles Sumner is generally spoken of as lacking the humorous perception, which is a great mistake. He not only enjoyed a witty remark, but would remember it, even when it was at his expense. Among other bon mots of kufus Choate, which he used to quote, tvas the great lawyer’s remai’k to Mr. Sumner, as they met at the door of the Boston court-house, when Sumner’s friends were working so hard to elect him to the United States Senate. “Good morning, Mr. Choate,” said Sumner, pleasantly; “on the march, I suppose, to another forensio triumph?” Mr. Choate drew around him his old camlet cloak, throwing the cape over his emaciated, time-furrowed face, and looked very like one of the witches in Macbeth, as he said, in his deepest tones, “Glamis thou art, and Cawdor,” then turned to the court-house. Once, when Mr. Sumner had tried in vain to decipher some notes which he had hastily made, and which he wished to

use in a speech that day, he exclaimed: “Why, this is worse than Choate’s writing. I suppose I may console myself, as he once did, when he had found it impossible to decipher some of his own chirography, and say: ‘Well, if I ever fail to get a living by my practice, I can go to China and support myself by writing the inscriptions on tea-chests.’” — Ben: Perley Poore.

Margaret Fuller.

The great dream of Margaret’s life was realized in 1846, when at last the opportunity came for her to visit Europe. She passed some time in England and Scotland, meeting Wordsworth, Dean Milman, Chalmers, De Quincey, the Carlyles, Harriet Martineau, Joanna Bailie, and other famous people. Then she went to France, and from there to Italy, reaching Rome in May, 1847. She spent several months in excursions to other Italian cities, returning to the Eternal City in October, where she remained, barring a short absence now and then, until May, 1850. During this .period she married privately the young Italian nobleman, Ossoli, with whom she appears to have fallen in love at sight, and in due time a child was born to them, that occurrence being kept a secret. Those were stirring days in Rome—-the days of Mazzini and Garibaldi, of the republic and the French invasion. Margaret was enlisted heart and soul in the patriotic cause, and when the city was invested she acted as superintendent of one of the hospitals, rendering admirable, untiring, and effective service. So great seemed the danger at one time that she sent for the American Minister, Lewis Cass, and disclosed to him the fact of the marriage, and that she had a child, asking that, in case of her death, certain important documents which she gave him should be sent to her family in America. On the next day, however, military operations ceased, and she and her husband left Rome, took their boy from his hiding place at Rieti, and made their way to Florence. There they spent the winter, and on the 17th of May succeeding they set sail for New York. Various things detained them here and there, and it was not until the evening of the 18th of July that the ship Elizabeth, on which they were passengers, sighted the Jersey coast. An early arrival in the city was promised, and everybody retired in good spirits, having made all arrangements to go on shore in the morning. The rest is best told briefly. At 4 o’clock on the 19th the ship struck on Fire Island beach, and the passengers sprang from their berths, only too sure what the shock meant. Margaret would not be separated from her husband or child, though promised escape with her life if she would go; and the three died together, the body of the child only., being recovered after the catastrophe. — St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

How Pepper Grows.

While at Penang my gharrie driver took me to see a Chinese pepper plantation. Pepper is a very profitable crop. The vine begins to bear in three or four years after the cuttings have been planted and yields two crops annually for about thirteen years. It is an East Indian plant, rather pretty, but of rambling and untidy growth, a climber, with smooth, soft stems, ten or twelve feet long, and tough, broadly ovate leaves. It is supported much as hops are. When the berries on a spike begin to turn red they are gathered, as they lose pungency if they are allowed to ripen. They are placed on mats, and are either trodden with the feet or rubbed by the hand to separate them from the spike, after which they are cleansed by winnowing. Black pepper consists of such berries wrinkled and bla'ckened in the process of drying, and white pepper of similar berries freed from the skin and the fleshy part of the fruit by being soaked in water and then rubbed. The nutmeg tree is a beautiful tree, from forty to fifty feet high when full grown, with shining foliage, somewhat resembling that of the bay, and its fruit looks like a very large nectarine. One fully ripe was gathered for me. It had opened and revealed the nutmeg with its dark brown shell shining through its crimson retjculated envelop of mace, the whole lying in a bed of pure white, a beautiful object.

Deformed Love.

Mary Ann fell desperately in love with a dude, but the imitation of a man had found out that the girl was not so much an heiress as he had supposed, and his love for her cooled down about 40 degrees. In fact his love for the homely dudine had fled forever, and of course, she became distracted in body and mind. She loved him devotedly and she shed many bitter tears over his cold-blooded manner of speech. She did not derive much consolation from her mother, when she appealed to her for sympathy. The old lady gave her a little encouragement, though when she said, “Mary Ann, I never did go much on deformed love.” “Why, mother, why do you call my heavenly love for that man deformed love?” • “Because its all on one side my child. ” —Carl Pretzel’s Weekly.

The Meadows of Maryland.

Springfield, Prince George’s Co., Md.—Mr. Charles G. Addison, of the above place, states : “I sprained my right knee, causing intense suffering, and the use of cratches for several weeks. I found no relief in other remedies, and finally tried the miracle of cure, St. Jacobs Oil. "in a short time I could bend my knee—which had been as stiff as an iron rod—laying aside my crutches, and was able to walk as well as ever. ” “First boy, What is a sinecure?” “A cure for the signs, sir. ” “Explain your meaning.” “Well, sir, some people make themselves troublesome for a while, and throw out signs that they want something for their silence, and when they gahan it, it is called a sinecure.” “Go to the head of the class.” The fashionable perfume in Paris now is bergamot, the favorite perfume of Richelieu. WE should do our utmost to encourage the beautiful, for the useful encourages itself.

A MYSTERY OF THE SEA.

The Fate Which Overtook the “City of Boston*’—Capt, Murray's Ideas and Experiences. A few years ago, the City of Boston sailed from harbor, crowded with an expectant throng of passengers bound for a foreign shore. She never entered port. The mystery of her untimely end grows deeper as the years increase, and the Atlantio voyager, when the fierce winds howl around and danger is imminent on every hand, shudders as the name and mysterious fate of that magnificent vessel are alluded to. Oiir reporter, on a recent visit to New York, took lunch with Capt. George Siddons Murray, on board the Alaska, of the Gulon line. Capt. Murray is ahnanof stalwart build, wellknit frame, and cheery, genial disposition. Be has been a constant voyager for a quarter of a century, over half of that time having been in the trans-Atlantic service. In the course of the conversation over the well-spread table, the mystery of the City of Boston was alluded to. “Yes,” remarked the Captain. “I shall never forget the last night we saw that illfated vetisl. I was chief ofacer of the City of Antwerp. On the day we, sigthed the City of Boston a furious southeast hurricane set in. Both vessels labored hard. The sea seemed determined to sweep away every vestige of life. When day ended the gale did not abate, and everything was lashed for a night of unusual fury. Our good ship was turned to the south to avoid the possibility of icebergs. The City of Boston, however, undoubtedly went to the north. Her boats, life-preservers and rafts were all securely lashed; and when she went down, everything went with her, never to reappear until the sea gives up its dead.” “What, in your opinion, Captain, was the cause of the loss of the City of Bostonl” "The City of Limerick, in almost precisely the same latitude, a few days later, found the sea full of floating ice; and 1 have no doubt the City of Boston collided with the ice, and sunk immediately.” Capt. Murray has been in command of the Alaska ever since she was put in commission and feels justly proud of his noble ship. Sne carries thousands of passangers every year, and has greatly popularized the Williams & Guion line. Remarking upon the bronzed and healthy appearance of the Captain, the reporter said that sea life did not seem to be a very great physical trial. “No? But a person's appearance is not always a trustworthy indication of his physical condition. For seven years I have been in many respects very much out of sorts with myself. At certain times I was so lame that it was difficult for me to move around. I could scarcely straighten up. I did not know what the trouble was, and though I performed all my duties regularly and satisfactorily, yet I felt that I might some duy be overtaken with some serious prostrating disorder. These troubles increased. I felt dull, and then, again, shooting pains through my arms and limbs. Possibly the next day I would feel flushed and unaccountably uneasy, and the day fallowing chilly and despondent. This continued until last December, when I was prostrated soon after leaving Queenstown, and for the remainder of the voyage was a helpless, pitiful sufferer. In January last, a friend who made that voyage wiih me, wrote mo a letter urging me to try a new course of treatment. I gladly accepted his counsel, and for the last seven months have givon thorough and business-like attention to the recovery of my natural health; and to-day, I have the proud satisfaosaying to you that the lame back, the strange feelings, the sciatic rheumatism, which have splong pursued png, have entirely disappeared through the blocd-purlfying influence of Warner’s Safe Kheumatic Cure which . entirely eradicated all rheumatic poison . from my system. Indeed, to me, it seems that it has worked wonders, and I therefore most cordially commend it.” “And you have no trouble now in exposing yourself to the winds of the Atlantic?” “Not the least. I am as sound as a bullet, and I feel specially thankful over the fact because I believe rheumatic and kidney disease is in the blood of my family. I was dreadfully shocked on my last arrival In Liverpool to learn that my brother, who is a wealthy China tea merchant, had suddenly died of Bright’s disease of the kidneys, and consider myself extremely fortunate in having taken my trouble in time and before any more serious effects were poss.ble.” The conversation drifted to other topics, and, as the writer watched the face before him, so strong in all its outlines and yet so genial, and thought of the Innumerable exposures and hardships to which its owner had teen exposed, be instinctively wished all who are suffering from the terrible rheumatic troubles now so common might know of Capt. Murray's experience and the means by which he had been restored. Fain is a common thing in this world; but far too many endure it when they might just as well avoid it. It is a false philosophy which teaches us to endure when we can ju6t as readily avoid. So thought the hearty Captain of the Alaska, so thinks the writer, and so should ail others think who desire happiness and a long life,

The Origin of the Potato.

The potato, originally a South American plant, was introduced to Virginia by Sir John Harvey in 1629, though it was unknown in some counties of England 150 years later. In Pennsylvania, potatoes are mentioned very soon after the advent of the Quakers; they were not among New York products in 1695, but in 1775 we are told of 11,000 bushels grown on one sixteen-acre patch in this province. Potatoes were served, perhaps as an exotic rarity, at a Harvard installation dinner in 1707; but the plant was only brought into culture in New England at the arrival of the Presbyterian immigrants from Ireland in 1718. Five bushels were accounted a large crop of potatoes for a Connecticut farmer; for it was held that, if a man ate them every day, he could not live beyond seven years.— The Century.

Healthful Stimulation.

Diffusible stimulants, provided they be absolutely pure, are among the most useful medicinal agents employed by physicians. When the tone of the system is lowering, by the depressing influences of disease, or there is an inherent want of vigor in the constitution, they serve to counteract weakening tendencies, and cheer the mind of the desponding invalid. But when, as in the case of Hostetter’S Stomach Bitters, they possess tonic and alterative properties, their effects are rendered permanent, and they accomplish a trebly beneficial result. The Bitters not only relieve nervous debility and mental depression, by their healthful stimulative action, but infuse abidingvigor inio the deplete 1 system, and rectify those internal disturbances which are the real causes of weakness. The purity and the whole<*omeness of the alcoholic basis of ttie Bitters greatly increases the efficacy of their botanic ingredients, a fact which the completeness of their curative effects sufficiently demonstrates. ✓ —— • When a drove of cattle got to bellowing you can’t get so far away from them that they will not bo herd.

THAT TERRIBLE TRAGEDY!

One of the Chief Cause* of Sadden Insanity 11l strated. Kingston (N. Y.) Freeman. As details or the Rathbone wife murder are received they add to its horror. Col. Rathbone, the murderer, was with President Lincoln when Booth shot him, and was himself stabbed by the assassin. The event was followed by nervous prostration, which produced, says Senator Harris, of Albany, painful dyspepsia, which, growing constantly worse in the last ten years, finally produced “blues” and periodical brain disorders. He was a model husband, but dyspepsia made him a monster! Experts tell us that the brain is the soundest of all organs, and they credit the alarming increase of insanity to derangements of the stomach. What the stomach is the b.ood will be, and bad blood has a very evil effeot on the brain. Dyspepsia Is a dangerous disorder, and yot It is far too often neglected when it might be cheeked or cured. H. S. Benedict, for thirty-live years express agent up In Troy, has often related how lor a long tiino his life was an unbearable burden. He sap’s he would rather die than go through his old^dyspeptic experiences. And John Eiting, the* widely known Cdd Fellow, of Hudson, informs us that what began in sour stomach, heartburn, lumpy sensations, and occasional constipation, resulted in confirmed dyspepsia, Intense beat and distress in the stomnch, belching of wind, hard and bloated bowels, loss of appetite, constant constipaiion, sick headache, aud a despondent, Irritable condition of mind. These gentlemen can realize, as can thousands of others, to what violence confirmed dyspepsia may drive a man! Happily for them they escaped mental frenzy by' the timely use of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, of Rondout, N. Y., a pure vegetable, non-alcoholic compound which in the past twenty years has cured In £0 per cent, of cases. It has a very large sale, and is regarded by physicians as most valuable for stomach, malarial, liver, kidney, urinary, female and blood disorders. • If we would esoape the full penalties or dyspepsia, we must arrest it before it becomes chronic and sets the blood and brain on fire. A man may not want to buy the cat, but when he runs it out of tho pantry he becomes a purr chaser.

A Remedy for Lung Diseases.

Dr. Robert Newton, late President of the Eclectic college, of the city of New York, and formerly of Cincinnati, Ohio, used Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam very extensively in his practice, as many of his patients, now living, and restored to health by the use of this invaluable medicine, can amply testify. He always said that so good a remedy ought to bo prescribed freely by every physician as a sovereign remedy In all cases of lung diseases. It cures consumption, and has no equal for all pectoral complaints.
