BY JULIAN A. SELBY Mr. Char leu Lei and, of Philadelphia, bos just published a book, in which he produces a massive argument to prove that Christopher Columbus did not first discover America, nor did any of the ad? venturers to whom the school books ascribe the feat. He declares emphati? cally that a Chinese Buddhist priest named Hoei-Shin, in the year 499, re? turned to* China from n voyage, and stated to the wondering celestials that he had discovered a great country across the sea, which he had named Tusang. He described the natives in such a way as to identify thorn with the American Indians, Peruvians and other races. If | Mr. Lelond can maintain his theory, as he appears to bo able to do, our school geographies will have to ohango the an? swer to the question, "Who discovered America?" from "Columbus" to "Hoei Shin." . -^ - The Rev. M. H. Worrell delivered a very, fine and touching oration on de? coration day, at Springfield, 111. Peo? ple were affected to tears; the preacher was regarded with reverence, and on all sides the praises of his eloquence re? sounded. The address was published in the papers the next morning, and a gentleman, while perusing it, was struck with its similarity to the oration of Hon. Edward Everett, delivered at the conse? cration of Gettysburg Cemetery in 1863. Procuring the valume containing Eve? rett's speech, he found that the elo? quent Worrell had reproduced literally the Everett oration. Worrell is now under the ban. He stays closely at home. The Georgetown Comet, of the 4th in? stant; says: "Every bush and tree on Sampit has been rendered leafiesB by the ravages of the caterpillar. There are myriads in the woods. They get in the boxes on the turpentine farms, and in every three bushels of crude stuff | there io one bushel of caterpillars. The first-class virgin has to be sold for No. 2 rosin, and the spirits are rendered of? fensive to the olfactories. The caterpillars ore smaU and of a grayish color." A bankrupt carpet-bagger is a refresh? ing spectacle. The assets of J. Hale Sypher, of Louisiana, are shown to be $732, and his liabilities $140,000. Butler seated him in Congress to vote on cer? tain infamous administration measures like the Force Bill, and when the Re? publican party got through with him they kicked him out, saying he had been seated by fraud. He certainly waB. He is a mere Sypher now. A fearful Navy Department job is that) dry dock at Mare Island, San Francisco. It has been building three years, and has cost thus far $800,000, and not one fifth of the work is completed. The whole structure is, moreover, on the Verge of caving in, through careless workmanship.
