The presence of our lamented Brother,

Tlie public school pupils, who are
going to have the lead all,over America
in the celebration of the'400th anniver-
tary of the discovery _ of America by
Columbus, are already asking how Co
lumbus looked. „=- r
Many leading American publications
have recently contained timely articles
on-tho great discoverer,“mid the variety
of portraits which has accompanied these
articles has been surprising.
By the highest authorities it is con
ceded that there is no likeness of Colum
bus whose claim to consideration is in
disputable.
From Oviedo and his own son Fefdi-.
have ^ descriptions of his- appearance,
npon whic h must lx? based our judg
