One hundred years ago the world knew nothing of Pompeii or Herculaueum; nothing of the lingual tie that binds together the Indo-Europeau nations; noth- ing of the significance of the vast volume of inscrip- tions upon the tombs and temples of Egvpt ; nothing of the meaning of the arrow-lieaded inscriptions of Babylon; nothing of the marvelous civilizations re- vealed in the ri'maius of Yucatan, Mexico and Peru. We are on the threshold; over it has stepped, fairly with a giant's stride, an Anu-riean, who, wheu years ago he gave up political life, its honors and emolu- ments, did a service for the studeut, which if not as yet thoroughly appreciated in all its importaut bear- ings, will be ere long. Ignatius Donnelly, Governor and Senator, when he retired fnun piditics and posi- tions, took up(m himself the burden of a research into the past, the partial results of which arc found in his wonderfully fascinating voUnnc of "Atlantis, the Ante-diluvian World." Donnelly, with that bold- ness of action, and directness of purpose, characteris- tic of the men who luivc nuvdc the West a new world, goes at his subject with a vim and a will t ruly refresh- ing in scientific literature Avoiding entirely the snobbish atfectatiiui of deep and extended learning, wliich so many scientific writers think uccessary to envelope their utterances in, in his opening chapter he declares his work an aflcmpt to dcnionstrafe sev- eral distinct and novel propositions. These are: 1st. Thjit there once existed in the Atlantic Ocean, opposite the moulh of the Mcdiferrancan Sea, a large island, vyhich was tlii' ri'mnant of an Atlantic conti- nent, and known to the ancient world as Atlantis. 'id. That the description of this island given by Plato is not, as has long been su|>iioscd, fable, but veritalilc history. 3d. That Atlantic was llic, region where man tirst rose from a state of barbananism lo civilization. 4th. That it became, in course of ages, a po))ulous and mighty nation, from whose overHowings the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, the Missis>ippi River, the Amazon, the Pacilic Coast of South America, the Mediterranean, the west coast of Europe and Africa, the Baltic, the Black Sea, and the Caspian were populated by civilized nations. .5th. That it was the true ante-dihn ian world; the Garden of Eden ; the Garden of the Hesperides ; the Elysian Fields; representing a universal metuory of a great land, where early mankind dwelt bjr ages in peace and happiness. 6th. That the gods and goddesses of the Ancient Greeks, the Phienicians, tlie Hindoos and the Scandi- navians were simply the kings, ipieens and heroes of Atlantis; and the acts attributed to them in myth- ology are a confused recollection of real iiistorical ' events. 7th. That the niytluilogy of Egyiit and Peru repre- sented the original religion of Atlantis, which was sun-worship. 8th. That the oldest colony formed by the Atlan- teans was probably in Egypt, whose civilization was a reproduction of that of the Atlantic Island. lUh. That the implemeuts of the "Bronze Age" of Europe were derived from Atlantis. The Atlanteane were also the first manufacturers of iron. lOtli. That the Plueniciai; alphabet, parent of all the European alphabets, was derived from an Atlantis alphabet, which was also cijuveyed from Atlantis to the Mayas of Central America. 11th. That Atlantis was the original seat of the Aryan or Indo-Eun>peau family of nations, as well as of the Semitic peoples, and possibly also of the Turanian races. l'2th. That Atlantis perished in a terrible convul- sion of nature, in which the whrde island sunk into the ocean, with nearly all its inhabitants. 13th. That a few persons escaped In ships and on rafts, and carried to the nations east and west the tidings of the appalling catastrophe, which has sur- vived lo our time in tlic ditferent deluge l-gends of the new and old worlds. Witli this statement of the propositions he idaus to prove, Donnelly takes tliein up in the order as giveu, and throughout his intensely interesting volume, tnakes an argument in support, which, while aftbrd- iug iuterestiug reading at the same time carries strong convietlou that his premises are based upon fact. To essay anything like a complete and thorough review of Mr. Donnelly's work, would necessitate very much more time than anyone could reasonably devote to a single article. In fact to one at all inclined lo analyze ami give himself over to the pleasure of con- veying liis information to others, tile temptation would be strong to make up a whole scries of articles oy the result of Donnelly's researches and readings. Not that there is a disinclination to write is it, but that there is the restriction to an liour or more in the attemiif to give the reader a fair understanding of the nu)st interesting subject, which we illustrate this year ill the First Divisiiui of our pageant. We term it, "The Lost Ccmtinent," and before the reader has fin- ished, the belief is entertained that he will believe that there is very much in Donnelly's argument, not only to read at this time, but to ponder over in the future. That the story of Atlantis was for tliousands of years i-egarded as a table proves nothing. The people nearest to the past arc not always those who are best infoi'iued concerning the past. For ages it was be- lieved that the legend of the buried cities of Pompeii and Hereulaneum were mytlis; they were spoken of as "the fabulous cities." For a thousand years the educated world did not credit the accounts given by Herodotus of the wonders of the ancient civilizatiims of the ?«ile and of Chaldca. He was called "the father of liars." Even PUitarch sneered at him. There was a time when tin- expedition sent out by Pharoah Xecho to circumnavigate Africa was doubted, because the explorers stated that after they had pro- gressed a certain distance the sun was north of them. This circumstance, which then aroused susiiicion, now proves to us that these navigators had really passed the eciuator, and anticipated by two thousand one hundred years Vasco de Gama in his discovei-y of the Cape of Good Hope. Plato has preserved for us 1 he history of Atlantis. He lived 400 years before Christ. There is nothing improbable in the narrative that survives him, so far as it concerns a rich and cultivated people. Almost every part of Plato's story can be paralleled by a de- scription of the people of Egypt or Peru. There are in flic story no marvels, no myths, no tales of gods, o-orgous, hobgoblins or giants. It is a plain and reasonable history of a jicoplc who built temples, ships and canals ; who lived by agriculture and ccnn- merce; who, iu pursuit of trade, reached out to all the countries around them. Had he sought to draw from his imagination wonderful and pleasing stories, we should not have had so plain and reasonable a narrative. Plato would have given us a history like the legends of Greek mythology— full of the adven- tures of gods and goddesses, nymphs, and the like. Plato says that in Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which aggressed wantonly against Europe and Asia. It not only subjugated Africa to Egypt and Europe as far as Italy, but ruled as well over parts of the continent, to wit: the opposite con- tinent of America, which surrounded the true ocean. These parts of America, Donnelly claims, were Cen- tral America, Peru and the Valley of the Mississippi, then occupied by the "Mound Builders." The Plain of [Atlantis, Plato fells us, had been cultivated for many ages by many generations of kings, and if it be true, as is believed, agriculture, the domestication of the horse, ox, sheep, goat and hog, and the discovery or developement of wheat, oats, rye and barley origi- nated in this region, then this language of Plato in reference to the nian.\ ages and successive generations of kings accords with the great period of time whicli were necessary to lu'ing man from a savage to a civi- lized condition. Plato tells us the whole counti-y was very lofty and precipitous on the side of the sea, but the country immediately about and surronudhig the city was a level idain, itself surrounded by mountains which descended tow'ards the sea. One has but to look at the profile of the Dolphin ridge, as revealed by the deep sea soundings of the ship Challenger, to sec that this is a faithful description of that precipitous elevation. Plato says that the Egyptians told Solonthat the destruction of Atlantis occurred tHXW years before that date, to wit; 91500 years before the Christian era. This looks like an ex- ti-aordinary long period of time, but it must be re- membered that geologists claim that the remains of man found iu the eaves of Euro\ic date back .500,000 ycar<. Tlic wide divergence of language which is found to exist among the Atlanteans at the beginning of the Historical Period im- plies a vast lapse of time. The fact that the nations of the Old World remembered so little of Atlantis ex- cept the colossal fact of its sudden and overwhelming destruction, would also seem to remove that event into a remote past. In short, says Donnelly, I fail to see why this story of Plato, told as history, derived from the Egyptians, a people who it is known pre- served most ancient records and who were able to trace their existence back to a vast antiipiity, should have been conteinptuously set aside as a fable by Greeks, Romans and the modern world. If can only be that our predecessors, with their limiicd knowledge of the geological history of the world, did not believe it pos- sible that any large part of the earth's surface could thus have been suddenly swallowed up by the sea. All the continents which now exist were, it is well understood, once under water, and the rocks of which they arc composed were deposited beneath the water. Moi-e than this, most of the rocks so dciiosited were the washings of other continents, which then stood where the oceans now roll, and whose mountains and plains were ground down by the action of volcanoes and earthiiuakcs, frost, ice, wind and rain, and waslicd into the sea to form the rocks upon which the nations now dwell, so that we have changed the conditions of land and water ; that which is now continent was once sea, and that which is now sea was once continent. As the great continent which stood where the Atlantic- Ocean now is wore away, the continents of America and Europe were formed, and there seems to have been from remote times a continuous rising, still going on, of the new lands and a sinking of the old ones. Within .500 years the shores of Sweden, Denmark and Norway have risen from 300 to 600 feet. We are m the midst of great changes and are scarcely conscious of it. We have seen worlds iu flames, and have felt a comet strike the earth. We have seen the whole coast of South America lifted up bodily ten or fifteen feet and let down again in an hour. We have seen the Andes sink '220 feet in 70 years. Vast trans- positions have taken place in the coast line of China. The anicicnt capital, located in all probability in an accessible positiim near the centre of the empire, has now become nearly surrounded by water, and its site is on the peninsula of Corca. There w^as a time when the rocky barriers of the Thraciau Bosphonis gave way and the Black Sea subsided. It had covered a vast area in the iu)rth and east. This area became drained and is now the prairie region of Russia and the granary ! of Europe. Tlieic 16 ample geological evidence that at one time tlie entire area of Greit Britain was submerged to the depth of at least 1,700 feet. Over the face of the submerged land was strewn thick layers of saud, gravel and clay, termed by geologists "the Northern Drift." The British Islands rose again from the se:i, bearing these water deposits on their bosom. \Vb;it is now Sicily once lay deep Ijcneath the sea; it sniise- (luently rose 3,000 feet above the sea level. The Desert of Sahara was once under water, and its now Iiui'niug sands are a deposit of the sea. We now eome to the qnestiou, is it possililc that Atlantis conld have been suddenly destroyed by such a convulsion 'of nature as is described by Plato '! The ancients regai-dcd this part of his story as a fable. With the wider knowledge which scientific research has aflbrded the modern world, it can be aftirmcd that such an event is not only possible, Init that the history of the past two centuries has furnished us with strik- ing parallel for it. We now possess the indisputable record of numer- ous islands lifted above the waters, and others sunk beneath the waves, accompanied by stoi'ms and eartli- ijnakes similar to those which marked the destruction of Atlantis. Deep-sea soundings have been made by ships of different nations ; the United States ship Dolphin, the German frigate Gazelle, and the British sliips Hydi'a, Poi'cupine and Challenge]' have niap)ied out the bottom of the Atlantic, and the result is the revelation of a great elevation, reaching from a point on the coast of the British Islands southwardly to the coasts of South America, at Cape Orange ; thenc'e southeastwardly to the coast of Africa, and thence southwardly to Tristan, which rises 9,000 feet above the great depths around it, and in the Azores, St. Paul's Rock, Ascension and Tristan it reaches the surface of the ocean. Evidence that this elevation was once dry land is found in the fact that the ine- qualities, the mountains and valleys of its surface could never have been produced in accordance with any laws for the deposition of sediment nor by subma- rine elevation, but, on the contrary, must have l.iecn caused by agencies acting above the ivater level. Here, then, we have the backbone of the ancient continent, which once occupied the whole of the Atlantic Ocean, and from whose washings Europe and America were constructed, and over which wc: see the pathway, which onee extended between the new world and the old, and by means of which the plants and animals travelled from one to the other, and by the same avenue the black men found their ■way from Africa to America, and red men from Amer- ica to Africa. When these connecting ridges ex- tended from America to Europe and Africa, they shut off the flow of the tropical waters of the ocean to the north; there was then no "Gulf Stream ;" the land-locked ocean that laved the shores of Northern Europe, was theu intensely cold; and the result was the Glacial Period. When the barriers of Atlantis sunk sufBciently to permit the natural expansion of the heated waters of the tropics to the north, the ice and snow whicli covered Europe gradually disappear- ed; the Gulf-stream flowed around Atlantis, and it still retains the circular motion, lirst imparted to it liy the presence of that island. Proofs are abundant that there must have been at one time uuinterrupted land communication between Europe and America. Recent discoveries in the fossil beds of the badlands of Nebraska, prove that the horse originated in America. Prof Marsh, of Yale College, has identified tlie several preceding forms from which it was developnl, rising in the course of ages from a creature not largei- than a fox until, by successive steps, it developed into the true horse. IIow did the wild horse pass from America to Europe and Asia if there was not contin- uous land communication between the two conti- nents? He seems to have existed iu a wild state prior to his domestication by man. The fossil remains of the camel are found in India, Africa, South America and Kansas. The cave bear, whose remains are found associated with the bones of the mamnioth and the bones and works of man in the caves of Europe, was identical with the grizzly bear of our Rocky Miuin- tains. The Norway elk, now nearly extinct, is identical with the American moose.

Cattle were domesticated among the people of Switzerland during the earliest part of the Stone Period— that is to say, before the Bronze Age and the Age of Iron. The re- mains of domestic sheep arc found among the debris of the Swiss lake-dwellings during the Stone At;e. The domestic hoi-sc, ass, hog and goat also date bac'k to a like anticpiity. We have historical records 7000 years old, and during that time no similar domestica- tion of a wild animal has been made. This fact speaks volumes as to the vast periods of time during which man must have lived in a civilized stale to efl'ect the domestication of so many and such useful animals. Turning to the tloral kingdom we- lind the same state ol tilings. .\n ixaminatiuii ul the fossil beds of Switzerland reveals ihe remains of over eight hundred different species of flower-bearing pilants, besides mosses, ferns, etc. The total number of fossil plants catalogncil from these beds an; ii]nvards of three thousand, ami Ihr majority of these species have njigrated to Amer- ica. The floia of the Miocene Age of Europe now grow in the forests of Virginia, North and South Carolina and Florida, and include such familiar exam- ples as magnolias, tulip trees, evergreen oaks, maples, etc. It would seem impossible that these trees could migrate from Switzerland to this continent unless there was an tinbrokeu land communication between the two continents. The banana is seedless, and is found throughout tropical Asia and Africa. Prof. Kountze asks in what way was this [ilant, which can not stand a voyage through the temperate zone, car- ried to America; and yet it was generally cultivated in America before 1493. He claims that the roots must have been transported from one country to an- other by civilized man. He argues that it could not have ci'ossed the Pacific, from Asia to America, be- cause the Pacific is nearly three or four times as wide a-s the Atlanlic. The only way he can account for the banana reaching America is to suppose that it was carried there wlien the North Pole had a ti'opical clinnite. Is there, however, says Donnelly, any jiroof that civilized man existed at the North Pole when it possessed the climate of Africa:' Is it not more reas- onable, he continues, to suppose that the banana was cultivated by the people of Atlantis and carried by their civilized agricullural colonies to the East and Wi'st ? Prof. Gray tells us that t)ut of one hundred and fifty-five species of fiora found in the forest east of the Kocky Monntaius, only seventy-eight species are found west of the mountains. These facts would seem to indicate that the forest flora of North Amer- ica entered it from the cost, and that the Pacific Slates possess only those fragmcuts of it whicli w ere able to struggle over or aroimd Ihe great dividing mountaiu chain. The cultivation of the cotton plant and the manufacture of its product was known to both the Old and New World. Herodotus de- scribes it, four hundred and fifty years befoie Christ, as the tree of India that bears a fleece more beautiful than that of the sheep. Columbus fouud the natives of the West Iiulies using cotton cloth. It was also found in Mexico and Peru. It is a significant fad, tliat the cotton plant has Ijecu found grow lug wild in many parts of America, but never in the Old World. This would seem to indicate, that the plant was a native of America, and this is further confirmed by the superiority of American cotton, and the fui-tlier fact, that the plants taken from America to India con- stantly 'degencrale, while those taken from India lo .\merica as constantly improve. In the prciiaration of the floats for the pageant of this division it was a dillicult thing to confine to abso- lute historical data, as there was no such data. Plato describes customs and characteristics, but Plato died before he bad hardly concluded his preliminary chap- ters. Distiugnished writers have from time to time elaborated on Plato, and their researches have led to compari.sons of the antediluvian people with those of the present age, which enables a conception w hich, if not perfectly correct, will certainly be interesting. It was decided in the first two floats to represent what might be termed mythidogieal legends of the first ESTABIJSHED 185S.

As a matter of fact, fancy had wide play in the construction of llie Queen's Temple, the design being to suggest both land aud water, to build her a temple symbolic of her sway and worthy of the place the beauteous woman nreuiiies in mythology. She is said to have borne Po^eidou five pairs of male ehildren, to wliom be subsequently portioned the island, dividini; il into ten ^ub-kiugdoms as it were. He gave, the name of Atlas tc. the eldest, and he has come down through all ages since with the world upon his shoulders. Passing from nm- point to another, preserving most admirably the continuity of his argiimcut, Donnelly reaches the subjivl uf civilization as an inheritance. Tile savage man i- a ))ili;iblc creature, and, as the old Chippewa legend bar- il. is pursued by a perpetual bunger. He is esposeil unprotected to the blasts of winter and the beats of summer. A great terror sits u|ioii liis SI, 111, I'm- rvf ry nianib'slation of nature— the storm. Ilic wind, llu- Ibundcr, the lightniug, the cold, the heat — are all Ihrcalening aud dangerous demons. Tile seasons bring him neither seed-time nor harvest; pinched with hunircr, iippeasing in part tlie everlast- ing cravings of his stomach with seeds and berries and creeping things, be sees the animals of the forest go dashing by liini. and he has no means of arresting their llighl ; be i- powerless and miserable in the midst of jilenty. Every step towards civilization is a steji of coiupicst over nature. The invention of the bow and arrow was in its time a far greater stride forward for the buniau race than the sleani engine or the tele- graidi. The savage could now reach bis game — his insatiable hunger ctmltl br satisfied. The very eagle lowering in its pride of place was not beyond the reach of the new and wonderful wea}>on. The dis- covery of lire and Ihe art of cooking was another im- mense step forward. The savage having nothing but wooden vessels in wliieli to cook, cfivered the wood with clay. The clay liardened in the fire aud the savage gradually learned that he could dispense with wciod, and thus pollri\ was invented. Then some one round frugmcnts ni' \\\v pure copper, beat them into sliajt'-, and tin- :iil of metallurgy was begun. Iron \\a- llrst wnrUetl in tin- same way by shaping meteoric iron into spear heads. But it must not be supposed that these inventions followed one another in rapid succession.

These are very prominent features in the approach to the city, and must always claim the attention of the stranger. This remark of the little girl reminds us of the great prominence of the celebrated EsTE\ Oroa.v, Wkber, Haines and Fishkr Pianos, as their tones, when lieard, always elicit remarks of admiration from every hearer. It also brings to mind the great prominence of the celebrated Musical Emporium of Messrs. SANDERS & STAYMAN, A^o. I'l iVoi/h Chaihs Street, Baltimore, Md., which is indeed a depository of musical gems in Organs and Pianos that assumes to the trade of Baltimore the figure of the "mountains with windows," for you can look through their mammoth stock and see the magnitude of their business by a simple visit to their place.

Nearly all the arts esseutial to eivilizatiou which we possess date to the time of Atlantis — cer- tainly to that ancient Egyptian civilization which was coeval with and an outgrowth from Atlantis. In 0,000 years the world made no advance on the civ- ilization which it received from Atlantis. Phoenicia, Egypt, Chaldca, India, Greece and Rome passed the torch of civilization from one to the otlier, hut in all that lapse of time they added nothing to the arts w-hich existed at the earliest period of Egyptian his- tory. In architecture, sculpture, painting, engraving, mining, metallurgy, navigation, pottery, glassware, the construction of canals, roads and aci|ueducts, the arts of Phoenicia and Egypt extended, without mate- rial change or improvement, to a period but 200 or 300 years ago. FLOAT "H"— SACRIFICE. In Atlantean times there were forms of sacrifice and worship, and one of their greatest festivals was the sacrifice before the column of Orickalaun, as illus- trated in our float " H." On this column besides the law, there was inscribed an oath invoking mighty curses on the disobedient. When, therefore, ufter ofl'ering sacrifices according to their customs, they had burnt the limbs of the beast, they mingled a eup and east in a clot of blood for each of them. Then they drew from the cup in golden vessels and pouring a libation on the fire, they swore they would Judge according to the laws on the column and would punish any one who had previously transgressed. Under the inliuence of religious fervor, men from the time of Atlantis have been led to action certainly without compensating reason, when viewed from the practical stand-point of the present day.

The use of cement was known alike to the European and American nations. The arch was known on botli sides of the Atlantic. The mannfaclure of bricks w;is known in both the Old and the New World. Tlie Atlanteans mined ores and worked in metals; they used copper, tin, bronze, eold and silver, and probably iron. The American nations jiosscssed all these metals. The Age of Bronze, or of cojipcr eombined with tin, was preceded in Americii, and nowhere else by a simpler age of eo]i|ier; therefore the working of metals probably orignaled in Ainerii-a, or in some ri'uioii to which it was ti'ibutary.

The American nations manufactured wcjoKmi and cotton goods. They made pottery as beantifnl as the wares of Egypt ; they iminnfaetnred glas;- and en- graved gems and in-eeiims stones. The weajums of the new world were identically the same as those cd the old world.

The arenean s|iorts of Atlantis were undoubtedly upon a grand scale, and tlu; splendor of the accesso- ries as here hinted at suggests one of these annual toimiaments in tlii' full pomii and i;lory of autcdilii viaii times.

The present age has entered niioii a new era ; it has added a series of wimderful inventions to the Allan- teau list. Herodotus tells ns that, according to the information he received from the Egyptian priests, their written history dated back ll,o40 years before his era, or nearly 14,000 years prior to this time.

For deeds of ^reat valor, for aehie\enient upon the field of battle that would excite the admiration of the king, many a noble young man laid down his life. When, however, so fortusiate as to survive and return to the court loaded with honors, the brightest mo- ment of the warrior's existence was, when knceliiii; before his royal master, knighthood was eouferjed upon him. This is made the subject of float "M," and how well the tableau has been planned and exe- cuted you may be your own best .judge by witnessing tile representation now before y(->n. Retuniiug to the striking similariiies existing be- tween nations now separated by oceans, it appears as if one could go on to almost any length presenting them. The belief in ghosts is found in both conti- nents. The American belief is identical with that of the old world, that the spirits of the dead retain tlie form and features which they wore while living, and that there is a hell and a lieaven. Tliat hell is below the earth ami heaven above the clouds ; that the souls of the wicked sometimes wander the face of the earth, appearing occasionally to mortals. The Chippewas believe that bad souls stand up to their chin in water and in sight of the spirit-land, and which they never can enter. The Zunis set apart a day in each year which they spend among the graves of their dead, communing with their spirits and bringing them presents. The boat of Charon reappears in the tradi- tions of the Chippewayans. The OricTital belief in the transmigration of souls is found in every Ameri- can tribe. That timid and harmless animal, the hare, was singularly enough an object of superstitious fear in Europe, Asia and America. The ancient Irish killed all the hares they found among their cattle on May day, believing them to be witches. Ca'sar give- an account of the horriu' in whi<'li this aninuil was held by the Britons. The Calmucks regarded the rabbit with fear and reverence. Divine hnnor wms paid to the hare in Mexico. FLOAT " N."— MARltlAtiE. In both continents burnt otl'erings were saerilieed to the gods. Both people had the institution of uuirriage, an important part of tlie ceremony consist- ing in the joining of hands. Both recognized divorce. The Peruvians and Mexicans established special courts to decide eases of this kind. In float "N" is illus- trated the marriage rite in Atlantis. Neither in the American tribes or in India or Tartary are men ami women permitted to mari-y when of the same name or family. In Mexico marriage was performed by the priests, who exhorted the contracting parties to maintain peace and harmony, and tied the end of the mau"s mantle to the dress of the wonnm. The bride eakc, which so invariably accompanies the wedding among ourselves, and which luust always be cut by the bride, nniy be traced back to the old Roman foim of marriage of eating together. Among the Romans, Chinese, Abyssinians and the Indians of Canada the custom prevails of lifting the bride over the door- steps of herhusljand's house. Among many American tribes, notably ii\ Brazil, the husband captured the bride by main force, as the men of Benjamin carried ofl the daughters of Sliiloh at the feast, ami as the Romans captured the Saliine winiieu. Monoganiv was the strict rule ; not even the kings in the early days were allowed to have more than one wife. The wife's right to separate property and dower were api>roved by law. She was the lady of the house. She could buy, sell and trade on her own account, aiid in case of divorce her dowry was to be repaid to her with in- terest at a high rate. The eerenuiny embraced an oath not to contract any other nnitriuujnial alliance. AWARDED riY Tilt: Miller H. Crtlghton. Jolin A. Lawrcnco. >Vil]iam S. Disney. HURST, MILLEU &> CO.

Tliere Tas a very curious and apljarently inexplicablti custom, wliich extended from China to tlic Mississijipi Valley, and Is still in fact practiced among tlie hill tribes of the former country. As the old couplet run : " Chlneso thus are said Tu lie-ln In their ladies stead." The father of the new-l)orn child, as soon as the mother became sti'ong enougli to leave her bed, gets Into it himself and tlujre receives tlie congratulations of hisaciiuaintauccs. Among the Iberians of thcnortli of Spain the women, after the birth of the child, tend their husbands, putting I hem to bed instead of going tlieraselves. In Biscay the women arise immediately after childbirth and attend to the duties of the house- hold, while the husband goe* to bed, taking the baby with him. The same custom was found in France, Corsica and throughout the tribes of North and South America. Among the Caribs in the West Indies the man takes to his bed as soon as the child is born, atui kills no animals. Among the Ameriean Indians it is believed that if the father kills au animal during the infancy of tile child the spirit of the animal will revenge itself by inflicting some disease upon the helpless little one. For sLx months the father must not eat either birds or llsh, for whatever animal he eats will impress Its likeness upon the child, or pro- duce disease i)y entering the Ijody. FLOAT -O"— FEAST. The people of both continents manufacHired a fer- mented, Intoxicating drink, the one derived from Ijar- ley aud the other from maize. Both drank toasts; both had feasts, and the origin of this commingling of convivial spirits is shown in Atlantean festivities as represented iu our float " O." Both the Americans aud Europeans erected arches and had triumphal processions for their victorious kings, aud both strewed the ground before them with leaves and flowers. Both celebrated important events with bontires aud illuminations ; both used banners ; both invoked blessings; both had bards and minstrtls who on great festivals sung the di-eds of heroes. Bot h the Egyptians and Peruvians held agricultural fairs; both took a census of the people. FLOAT ■■?"— THEATRE. The Peruvians had theatrical plays, and our float " P " illustrates from Atlantean sources of informa- tion the character of amusement by which they were wont to pass away their idle hours. Here we have 'the sword-swallower aud lire-eater. On the lower platform the play, wherein the mock knight rescues the mock princess from a terrible monster, accom- panied the while as now to slow music by the orches- tra. The audience enjoy themselves in various ways, Interspersing their interest in the stirring events por- trayed before them by indulging in the pijie and flowing bowl, possibly suggesting the summer con- cert room of the present day. They chewed the leaves of the cucu mLxed with lime, as the Hindoos to-day chew the leaf of the betel with lime. The Peruvians, Egyptians and Chaldeans divided the year iuto twelve months, aud the months into lesser divisions of weeks; both inserted addi- tional days so as to give the year 3(55 days. The Mexicans represented an eclipse of the moon as the moon being devoured by a dragon, and the lliudoos have the same figure. The Tartars believed that if they cut with au axe near a tire, or put a knife into a burning stick, or touched the lire with a knife, they would cut the top off the fire. The Sioux Iudian>, in the west of our owu country, will uot stick an aw 1 or needle into a stick of wood on the Are, or chop on it with au axe or a knife. In the bufl'alo dance of the Maudou Indians the dancers covered their heads with a mask made of, the head and horns of the buffalo. To-day, in the temples of India, the priests dance the demons out, or the new year in, arrayed in aninnil maeke. On the monuments of Central America then- an representations of bearded men.

Plato tells us thiit the Atlanteaus possessed great numbers of elcphauls. 'There are in Wisconsin a number of mounds of cartli representing' ditferent animals, among them an ele- phant, so perfect iu its proportions that its builders smist have been well aoiiuainled with all the physic il •-■haracteristics of the animal which they delincati-d ■Ou a farm in Louisa county, Iowa, there was a pijn plowed up some time since which also represented in ■elephant. It was found iu a section where the aucimt tnounds were very abundant and rich iu relics. Tin jiipc is of sandstone, of the ordinary Mound Buildci- /yi)c, aud has every appearance of age and ii>age. FLOAT "Q'— HUNT. They hunted horseback, and, as has already been ■shown, very many animals of the present jieriod originated iu Atlantis. In float "Q" we have a viry spirited representation of a royal hunt, the variety of sinimals being such as to lead to a fair conception of the 'most exhilcrating sport had in the very oldcu times. Without Atlantis how can be explained the liut that the early Egyptians were depicted l)y thcmselv.-r. -.13 rod men on their own mon\iments, and ou the other hand how can we account for the representation^ ot negroes ou tlie monuments of Central America. .\« the negroes have never beeu a seagoing race the presence of these faces among the antiquities of Cen- tral America proves one of two things; either the ■oxistenee of a laud connection between America and Africa, via Atlautis, as revealed by the deep sea soundings of the Challenger, or commercial relatiouK 'between America aud Africa through tlie ships of .^\tlautis or some other civilized race, whereby the negroes were bi'ouglit to America as slaves at a very .reniote epoch. FLOAT " R ••— AGRICULTLKE. An interesting point to contemplate is the fact that •the origin of wheat, barley, oats, maize and rye— the •essential plants of civilization — is totally lost iu the mists of vast antiquity. The people of Atlantis were pre-eminently an agricultural people, so were the ■civilized nations of America aud Egypt. In Egypt the king put his hand to the plow at the annual fes- tival, thus dignifying and consecrating the occupation ■of husbaudman. Float R represents this significant •ceremony. The king is at the plow and his queen rides on the royal elephant, following in a stately manner, escorted by the Prime Minister in the tirst furrow of the seed time. In Peru, precisely the same ■ custom prevails. In both the plow was known. In Atlantis it was drawn l)y ostriches, in Egyi)t by oxi'U and Peru by men. Iu the north of Europe it was ■drawn by men down to a comparatively i-eccnt period. Thei'c is a general misconception as to the color of the Euroiiean aud American races. Europe is supposed to be peopled exclusively by white men ; hut in reality • every shade of color is represented oii that continent, from the fair complexion of the fairest of the Sn cdes to the dark-skinned inhabitants of the Mediterranean ■coast, only a shade lighter than the Berbers, or Moors, on the opposite side of tliat sea. On the whole, it seems that the distinction of color, from the fairest Englishman to the blackest African, has no hard and_fasl lines, but varies gradually from one tint to another. When we turn to America we find that the popular opinion that all Indians are "red men," and of the same hue from Patagonia to Hud- sou's Bay, is a gross error. It would be cosy to show- that the American races demonstrate nearly as gi-eat variety in this respect as nations of the old continent. There are white Indians aud 'red Indians— Indians as black as negroes of Guinea, while there are other triljcs of an olive complexion. Adam was, it would appear, a red man; WinchcU tells us that Adam was derived from red earth. Thc'Arabs distinguish mankind into two races, one red and_the other black. They classed themselves among llu' i-ed men. Not only was Adam a red.man, but tbere^is evidence'that,'from;thc highest -aotiiiuity, in/ was';the'sacrcd'color. Thc'gods of the ■ ancieuts were always painted red. The Cushitcs and FMM M&LL&W^iT — AXD— THE BEST FIRE PEOTECTlON FOR THEATRES, HOTELS, RAILROADS, FACTORIES, Public Buildings, School Houses.

If parents have but little to bestow upon their sons, thej' should see that they are well grounded in the elements of a substantial education. Without this they cannot reasonably expect to succeed in any vocation. A business education includes, among otlier things, a knowledge of grammar, torrect spell- ing, good writing, thoroughness in arithmetic, a knowledge of accounts, business ethics, the general principles cf commercial law, and the rules and methods of business. '*The large patronage and high apppreciation of the gr.aduates of EATON & BURNETT'S liUSI- NESS TRAINING SCHOOL, by our mercliants and business men. are evidences of the thorough and substantial work this college is doing in preparing young men and ladies for the active duties of life." From "Biillimore AniericHii." "The iinporlance of a comprehensive and perma- iicnl institution, where young men about to enter commercial life may prepare, by a suitable educa- tion, or the intelligent discharge of the diversified duties belonging thereto cannot be overestimateti. "We take pleasure in referring to the continued manifestation of public confidence, by the large at- tendance of pupils at the EATON ct BURNETT BUSINESS COLLEGE. This institution offers young men the opportunity for mastering the prin ciples. and a good share of the practice, of their vocations before they are assumed, giving them thereby ailvantages over others, bringing their ser vices into immediate requisition and securing at onie a competent remuneration. ".Mthough not the oldest institution of its kind in the country, it is certainly one of the most reliable and prosperous.

GENERAL TICKET AGT. ■ A HOEN&CO BAlTIMOne MO Ethiopians, early branches of the Athmtean stock, itook their names from their sunburnt eomplexions; .they were red men. The name of the Plioeuieians .signified red. The ancient Egyptians were red men. They reeog- nized four races of men — red, yellow, black and white; :aud in later ages so desirous were they of prcservin!; the aristoeratie distinction of the color of their skin, that they represented themselves on their monuments as of a crimsim hue. They represented the inhub- itants of Palestine as yellow-brown and the Libyans yellow-white. The present inhabitants range from a yellow color in the north part to a deep bronze. When science, says Donnelly, is able to disabuse itself of the Mortonian theory, that the aborigines of Amer- ica are all red men and all behjng to one race, we may hope that the conHuence upon the continent of widely ditferent races, from different countries, may come to be recognized and intelligently studied. There can be no doubt that red, white, black and yellow men have united to form the original population of Amer- ica, and there can be but little doubt that the entire population of Europe and the south shores of the Mediterraucan is a mongrel race — a combination in varying proportions- of a dark brown or red race with ■ a white race. The red-haired people arc a distinct variety of the white stock. There were once whole tribes and nations with this color of hair; their blood is now intermingled with all races of men, from Pal- .estine to Iceland. Everything in Europe speaks of vast periods of time and long-continued and constant interconfusion of bloods, while there is not a fair-skin- ned man on the continent who has not the blood of the dark-haired race in his veins; nor scarcely a dark- skinned man who is not lighter in hne from intermix- ture with the white stock. FLOAT "S"— MARKET. That the Atlanteans were a commercial people there can be no question of doubt, and that their markets were largely by the waters and shores is ■ evident from the conformation of the country. In Hoat "S" an animated representation of an Atlantean market is given, commerce going on spiritedly and it evidently being a good day for trade. There exists in Europe evidences of three ditferent .ages of human development. The stone age, which •dates back to vast antiiiuity, is subdivided into two periods; an age of rough stone implementsaud another age when these implements were ground smooth • and made in improved forms. The bronze age when the great mass of imidi'ments were manufactured of ■a compound metal, consisting of about nine parts ■copper and one part tin. The age when iron super- seded bronze for weapons aud cutting tools, although •bronze still continued in use for oruament. This age continues down to what we call the historical period, ^and embraces our present civilization. Its more an- ■cient remains is marked with the coins of the Gauls, Greeks and Romans. The absence of implements, made either of copper or tin, seems to me, says Sir John Lubbock, to indicate that the art of making bronze was introduced into, not invented in, Europe. ■.In America, from Bolivia to Lake Superior, are found traces everywhere of a long enduring copper age. -Among the Chippewas of the shore of Lake Superior, .and among them alone are found any traditions of the origin of the manufacture of copper implements, •and on the shores of that lake we find pure copper ■out of which the first metal tools were probably hammered, before man had learned to reduce the ere or run the metal into molds. On the banks of this ■same lake we find the ancient mines from which some people, thousands of years ago, derived their supi>lies of copper. As to Bronze, the knowledge of it is only found wherever the colonies of Atlantis extended and uowhcrc else, and Plato tolls us the people of Atlantis possessed aud used that metal. FLOAT "T"— HOME. With their great development in all the arts aud Bcienccs aud in commerce, the people of Atlantis «arly introduced within their homes refinement of ■decoration and adornnunit, and adapted nature to please the eye and rest the senses. Thus, we liave in Hoat "T" a represcnttttion of the outer accessories of pleasure and comfort of an _Atlantcan houic. The CHAs. WEBB. SST^BIiZSIIED 1830. THOS. ARMSTRONG. JA.MES ARMSTRONG & CO.

FLOAT -W-DEATII. Ill tloat "W" is a reinesuntation of a i-icniation urn being hi-ought to the last rusting plaee of ashc->. Mourners attend and witness the depositing of tlir ashes in the urns, wliieh are held liy the idols whieh mount step by step, one above another. The praetiee of depositing weapons and food nitli the dead was universal with aneient Europe, and in the German villages even now-a-days a needle and thread are placed in the coflin for the dead to mend tlieir torn elothes with ; while all over Europe the dead man had a piece of money put in his hand to pay his way with. The American Indian h'aves food with the dead. The Russian pcuisant puts crumbs heliind the saint's picture on the little iron shelf, and believes that the souls of his forefathers creep in and out, and eat them. On All-souls-day, in Pai-is, they still put eakes and sweetmeats on the graves ; and in Brittany the peasants that night do not forget to make up the tire and leave the fragments of tlie supper on the table for the souls of the dead. It is an old saying that "tliere is notliing new under tlie sun," and Donnelly, in his chapter on the antiquity of some of our great inventions, proves it. The nn\riners' compass was known to tlie inhabitants of Atlantis, and the Vha-ni- cians were perfectly familiar with the use of tlie magnet. It was called the stone of Hercules, who ■was the patron divinity of the Phienicians, ami prior to their time one of the gods of Atlantis. The projior- tions of the fastest vessels of to-day are from HOO feet long to .=)0 feet wide and :!0 feet deep. These were pre- cisely the proportions of Noah's Ark. In the earliest times the vessels were sheathed with metal. A Kimian ship, after having been sunk thirteen hundred years, was raised aiul found to have outside sheets of lead fastened with small copper nails. It is not impossi- ble, claims Donnelly, that even the invention of gun- powder may date back to Atlantis. It was certainly known in Europe long before the time of the (iennan monk Berthold Sehwarz, who is cinnmonly erediteil with (he discovery of it. It was employed in 12.57, at the siege of Niebla, in Spain. In Hll the Emperor Leo employed firearms. In 068 it was introduced into Egypt, and in the year SO the Chinese obtained from India a knowledge of gunpowder. Indeed, says Don- nelly, later day researches make it look very much as if Moses had blown up the rebels with gunpowder. The oldest Egyptaiu monuments ccmtain pietui-es of paper rolls, while in Mexico beautiful paper was manufactured and formi-d into books shaped like our own. The nianufaetnre of silk is traced back to the most remote ages. It was known in China over 2tJ00 years be- fore the Chisliau era. The Atlanteans, and the Egypt- ians who came after thein, cultivated all the cereals now known to man. The Chaldeans knew the motion of the moon with an exactness which induced the Greek astronomers to use their calculations for the founda- tion of a lunar theory. Indeed, speaking of the (lues- tiou of invention claimed for the present day, a curious passage in Gallileo's dialogue has been discovered re- specting the possible early origin of tlie electric telegraph. In the dialogue one is made to say that he calls to account a man who wanted to tell him a .secret which would give him the power by means of a certain sympathy of magnetized wire to speak to any one 2000 or 3000 miles away. We are now nearly at the end of our imaginary visit to what was until leeeiUly helieved to be merely an imaginary continent. FLOAT "X"— DELUGE. Float "X" depicts in a necessarily incomplete manner the great throe of nature that in an instant, as it were, engulphed a mighty country and a great nation. To look upon it is a mere suggestion. To have practical demonstration of it certainly none of us desire. One may very well pause, after this catalogne of comparisons, and ask wherein these jieople differ. Would it not be absurd to pretend that all these sinii- larities could have been the result of accidental coin- cidences? PH. F.

W.vsniSGTON IiiviNO li:i< m;uU- tlio .xlmospUerc of Spain I'l'doleut with i-oiiuiiici' ami tlirowu about thi' c'ountry a cliarni that liovers not over any other. Living long, a.s he did, nudtn- *l-iics wUich in tlieni- selves liewitfli, our distin^aiishcd Aniorican liccanio imbued with what niiglit be termed a very reverence for Spain, and anythini; and everything eonneetcd therewith. To him we owe .1 debt as everla-^tin^j as his own niemouy. Without his matehless pen, many a gladiiorne liour would liavc been lost, and many a day of the most delightful retrospcet denied us. An indeseribttlde longing lill'^ us to dwell where Irving dwelt ; to sit w here he sat, and to pen our humble thoughts wliere hi> inspired peneil traced stories al)ont which will forever linger a halo of sweetness, lilicncd nnto old wine- thiit imiii-o\e with age. Irving saw things in Spain with diH'ei'cnt eye than other writers, for, despite tlie f.ict that lie enveloped his "Spanish Papers" in tlie web i^f fascinating romance, he is nevertheless an authority upon Spanish liLstory second certainly to none wlio ha\e researched tic: annals of the past that the present miglit profit liy it Irving was no dreamer, but, to tlie contrary, emi- nently practical. He appreciated tliat to bring the average niiud to a full realization of tlie "days tliat tried men's souls" in Andalusia, l)y attempting to lead into the labyrinth of legend, of fable and of fabri- cation, through the old, dry and constant repetition of unpronounceable cognomens of 1)attlcsaiid contests — the one the mere pattern of the other— would be to turn the thoughtful to other and more easily reached avenues of information. Recognizing this, Irving, with that rare gooU sense he ever displayed in reaching the iniblie heart, -painted Spain, tlie Moors, the conquerors and the eonower of iloderik. It was love at Urstrsight, and she, quickly forgetting the prince in waiting, accepted the Iting at hand and became the empress not only of his I'cople but of his heart. Irving dwells delieiously ui)0!i the tender scenes between the newly imitcd pair, but time then as now was prone to dim to a more or less extent the lustre of the golden fetters of matrimony, and r.odcrik had eyes for others than his lawful mate. I'LOAT Xo. ;.— FLORINDA. The Queen resided in a rceluded castle, adjoining which was a lovely garden wherein, under balmy skies, her maids i)assed many hours of each bright day. One day there was a sportive contest among the damsels as to the champion of beauty. Of them WES a Moorish maiden of rare symmcti-y of form and grace of motion. The Spanish champion was none other than Florinda, at this time asleep and in bliss- ful ignorance of the distinction she was acquiring among her friends. The Moorish girl was i^artly disrobed by adherents to establisli her claims, when Florh:('.a"s friends running over to where she lay exposed sucli hidden charms to their innocent eyes as to most successfully refute the claims of the Moorish damsel. But eyes otlier than g(Kleless were witness to the encounter. Eoderik on his way to the Queen's apartments had stopped at a grated window overlooking the garden, and that which he beheld inllamed in him a desire of possession which eventually lost him his kingdora and his life. Needless to go into details. Kings those days were not to be brooked in tlicir wishes, even though isacrcd trusts were to be shameiiiUy violated. Irving touchingly refers to the distress of the unfortunate Florinda and very strongly espouses her cause, declaring licr the vict im of t he most unkingly outraire ever perperpetrated upon defence- less woman. At her first opportunity Florinda covii- municated to her father the dire disaster that she h.d met with at the hands of him who should ha^c \no- tected her against every evil, and demanded retribu- tion. Meantime Roderik, undoubtedly sulleiiug com- punctions of conscience in regard to his dastardly treatment of Count Juliar/s daiighter, became more reckless than ever in liis dissipation and less liable to Ijrook any interference whatever with his royal will. It must be understood and can readily be appreciated by those who have read of the early days of Spain that ilie superstition enveloping the laud was as dense as the brains of those who yielded to its seduc- tions. Old Spanish traditions have it that marvelous iutinuitious of the wrath which heaven intended to visit upon the monarch and his people was permitted Koderik. Legend records that one day wlieti Roderik was seated upon his throne two men ol venerable appear- ance entered the hall of audience, their snowy beards descending to their breasts and their gray hairs bound with ivy, Having approached the throne and made obeisance, "Know, King," said one of the old men, " that in days of yore when Hercules, surnamed the Strong, had set up his palace at the ocean strait, he erected a tower near to this ancient city of Tole solicits a visit from all who wish beau- tiful and shapely Finger Nails, and will take pleasure in explaining her business and showing her parlors to those who feel interested in having their Nails not only beautiticd.but cured of all diseases and distigurenicuts.

VLOAT \o. 3.— THE MY-STIC TOWEK. Aeeompanied In' Ifie ecjurtiers, Roderik the fol- lowiiii;' day set out for I lie tower, and upon reaeliiim It eommanded the sjuardians to unloek the portals The ancient men obeyed with fear and tremblmg; but their hands shook with a.ue, and when they apiJlied the keys the locks, so rusted by time and of such strong workmanship, resisted their ettbrts. Where" upon the youiii;' cavaliers pressed forward and lent their aid. The greater ])art of a whole day was ex- hausted, and still the locks refused to open. The king', imjiatient at the delay, put his hand upon theiii ; in an instant they unlocked, the dooi's flew open and a damp, cold wind eame forth, accompanied by a tem- pestuous sound. The king entered a hall or ante- chamber, and before him on a pedestal stood a gigantie Hgure of the color of bronze and of teri-ible aspect. It held a huge mace which it whirled incessantly, giving such cruel and resounding blows upon tlie earth as to prevent all further entrance. Roderick plucked np heart and eommanded tlie tigure to permit him to pa^s, and upon this the uplifted mace fell, and the king and lii^ party passed unmolested through to the inner recesses of tlie tower. Within was a lofty dome studded with gems. There were no windows or other openings, yet a radiant light was spread througli- cnit the place. It seemed to shine from the walls and render every object distinctly visible. Roderick iiiunc- diately advanced to a table standing in the centre of the hall, upon which was a golden casket bearing the legend, "The hand of none Imt a king can open it," and warning him to beware, upim the pain of revealing marvellous events whicliwere 1o take place before his deaih. Koderik having gone thus far, laid bold liauds upon the casket, oiiened it, and immediately pandemo- nium broke loose. The sminds were dcafcuiug, the air tilled with noxious fumes and the entire place con- verted in a second into a very hell of terror. Roderik and his court decamped with unkingiy haste, and when safe in his castle again it is recorded that he never afterwards was as of yore. Imbued witli superstition, he was convinci'd that tlir tower had iinerrinily for- shadowedliis doom. FI.().\T No. -t.— THE liETKAVAl,. As has hitherto been slated Floriiida had informed her father of her fall, and Count Julian, tilled with wratli, bethought him not of his country or its people, but of the surest way to encompass the downfall of Rod- erik. The count, it is claimed, had for years been se- cretly engaged ill a cousiMraey to overthrow- the king, and among his relatives was Ompas, a bishop high in authority at court, whose counsels were trusted and whose advice had long been most potent. That this bishop, in league with Count Julian, subsequently betrayed Roderik at the most critica! period of his existence is uiuiuestioncd. Julian had learned of the all-comiuering advance ot the Arabs iu Africa aud in the land of the Moors, and naturally his revengeful determination led him to an avenue of eonimunieati(ni with the victorious general of the Arabian forces, Musa. Conde completely ignoro Julian iu the causes that led to the downfall of Spain, manifestly doing this in cn-dcr that the Arabs mi^iit reap the glory of an opeuhaiided triumph rather than a victory reached through compact with a traitor. Coppee gives much space to Julian and the causes which led him to a trc*ty with Musa, and Irvins devotes more. .That Count Julian did secretly cro.ss the strait and hold confercuee with Musa is not to be gainsayed, aud the fourth tableau of the second division portrays the mtervicw. Irving has it that not only did Count Julian seal his treachery by flu- exposure of the weakness of his country to Musa, but that he further entered into a comjiact to aeconi- pany the Arabs on their first expedition to Spain, aud afford the commanding general thereof every aid in the subjugation of the nation. Tarik was "seleeted by Musa to command the expedition, the details of the starting out of whiili arc given not oulv in Four Year.s Pr.actice in BaLTIM(_)RE. UNFAHALLELES 3CCCES3.

It is cei-taiuly true that by a happy combi- nation of the past and ju'esent they encourage the spirits and stimulate the hopes of men. As the barcpie that cari-ied Tarilc was crossing the strait, fatigued by his labors he fell asleep, and saw in a dream the pi-ophet of God— Mahomnied— who iu a loud voice exclaimed, "Take courage, oh Tarik, anij accomplish what thou art destined to perform," and as the vision faded the projjhct seemed to be pressing forward towards Spain. FLOAT No. .i— TARIC'S VlSIt^. This was deemed a pj-esage of sueeeaf^and when the general repeated it to his followers it inspii-cd them with additional zeal and valor. The forces Tarik liad with liim arc variously estimated at. from ;i,.500 to .'),000 men, and the lauding point was Gibraltar— in Arabic, Rock of Tarik. Tradition has it that Tarik ordered the Ijoats Imnied immediately upon reacbinu' the shore, in order to remove all opportunity for retreat ; but whether this be true or not, certain it \» that the uuignetism of the swarthy, one-eyed com- nuindcr had pi-ovoked such enthusiasm among his followers that they were ready to fencounter every odds, believing implicitly that the God of the Prophet would bestow triumph upon tliem. As to be expected from so expei-ieuced a chieftain, Tarik deployed his men in all directions, sending out skirmishing parties and feeling his way forward with great caution. Hi' encountered but little opposition, meeting with none in tact to speak of until reaching some distance inland, where Thcoilomii-, une of King Roderik's gieatest generals, gave the Arabs battle, only to be routed horse and foot. The devoted Spaniard posted with all haste to his king, and tlie iievi's Ik; brought produced the wildest consternation in the court. Rodcrik, now bis (dd self agaiu, immediately took every means to rally liis people, determined to give the invaders such a welcome as would turn them back to tlic sea and cause it to engulf them to a man. In his own land, with his own peojile roused to defend their homes, it rci|uired but a short space of time to recruit a large army, which, witli the king at its head, l>roceeded to the banks of the Gaudalct, there to give battle.

In the height of the i^ignal vieto- rics, whieh were to mark the reconipiest of Spain, there appeared, literally upon the Held of battle, the greateKt warrior eharaeter ehronieled in all t^pani^h history. The ehieftain who?e name has been revered through all the eenturies wliieh have elapsed since his eomiuests, the indomitable and awe-inspiring, thi-C'id C'ampeador. His history is fnll of romance, and his splendidly moulded tigure on his matchless horse, illumines many a Spanish canvass. So great was he, so grand a liero in the worsliipful eye of the people, that Kings grew .jealous l banished — then when entergcncies coniiiclled. recalled the glorious warrior and again placed him at the head of armies. He beckoned and men Hew to bis standard. He fought for the Christians against the Moslems. He fought for Moors against Moors. He fought for his own land and became king of many without the name. Aliiluuiso had a brother, Saucho. who. a> a pre- tender to I be Ihroiic, enlisted Cid in hi> iiiii>c.

The Christians gradually and surely forcing the invader into closer iiuarters, and with all the eclat of a victorious advance met the Moor at every point and most invariably vaiu|Uished him. Ferdinand the Third, in the Hight of ycais, Micceeded to the Spanish Ihroiue, and Aben Hud was the most noted of the Moorish kings that contested the onward progress of the Spanish forec~. Alien Hud had to a certain extent broken the scries of victories whieh had blessed the banner of the cl•os^. and caused great uneasiness on llir part of llic Siianish powers that his prowess might serve to alienate the allies which were ever on the side of tlie stroniicst. FerdinaiuVs son, the Prince Alfonzo, was anxious to meet the Moorish king, and with a large force sallied out to engage him in conitiat. The strife was Herec and bloody, the Moors were gaining the ascendency, when legend has it the blessed Santiago ap|icared in the air on a white horse, with a white banner in one hand and a sword in the other. This turned the tide of battle, Aben Hnd and his cohorts being forced to lly, leaving his most redinibtable lieutenant dead upon the Held. This tradition comes down tlirough the musty pages of superstition, but it is nevertheless a characteristic chapter of Spanish history, and affords iipportunitics tor a spirited tal)leau. Again we must pass over long years a^ il' tliev were nionicnis, and are lirought to a pcrioil when in all Spain Uiere was left but one city within the power of the Arab- .Moor, the far-famed, iinpregualde (Grenada, with its glorious Albambra, surmonntiuu the heights which overlooked the wondrous Vega, so soon to l>c the sceiii' of war. There were many bands of Moors still Iclt upon Spanish soil, entrenched in mountain fastnesses and holding points of great power frcnu a war standpoint. These desperate invaders made many sorties upmi tlie Christian forces, and harassed if they did not c(ni(|ner. These remnants of former greatness to a certain extent acknowledged the authority of the King of Grenada, while otliers rebelled against it. and there were pretenders to the throne on every side.

On the way out of ilie G-atewa-y of Grenada lie broke his spear ag'nffisl tlR''arch»ajif^the superstition of flic day at onee predix'ted a'^tVowjifall to his ambition. Wheflicr this had anything to do with it or not is of little importance, but the fact is of history that his army was most ingloriously routed and himself taken prisoner by Ferdinand. It was at this auspieiiuis juncture of affairs tliat the Spanish n sovereign, Ferdinand, with trui? militai'v skill, had determined to ai'complish the recomiucst of his own land by the one great victory — that iif fivennftii.'^To do this he had first to break liji and prevent any fur- ther concentration of Moorisli armies without.- the kingdom, and to this end believed it a better policy to malvc Boabdil the cliicf instrumcnf in carryiui;' out Ills plans.

BALTIMORE, ACADEMY OF MUSIC PROGRAMME. FtPllM iifllflSTIG. The following are some of the merits of the Programme as an Advertising Medium : An advertisement is not lost to sight as in l.TTge newsiiapers ; it is sure to be seen. It catches the eye of the public af a time when they have leisure to read it, viz., between the ads. Most theatre-goers carry the Programme home with them in order to more readily recall the names of the actors who assume certain parts in cxi>laining scenes from the play to members of their family who did not witness the play. It is a well-known fact that the theatre-going puldic are the most liberal in expenditures, and. as a rule, have the money to buy what thev want. Again, an advertisement in the programme will cateli the eye of almost every stranger visiting the city, its every one knows that about the first resolve of a visitor, after registering at a hotel, is to go to the theatre. Finally, I invite you to read my advertising rates: A space one by tiihee inches Foru 1)0I,i..\rs (-*4) per month of four weeks, whieli are trifling compared with the benefits ycni are likely to receive, and cither send mc an adviM'tiscment, (U- a jiosfal inviting me to come and treat with you in regard to on^'.

Ferdinand uext turned his atten- tion to El Zajj;al, meantime having so utterly discom- lited every attempt of the old king- of Grenada to aequire foothold that the Moorish niouareh had fairly laid down and died. Attaekins; El Zagal from every point of vantage, and eoii.stantly foreing him to elose quarters, the Spanish king finally sueeeeded in niak- lug a close ally of the nearest friend of the hunted general, and through the wily maehinatious of his courtiers secured the ])i-omise of this friend to inter cede with El Zagal and secure his surrender. Certain territory was pro^^sed El Zagal to be forever under his nominal control, and he was to be accorded the favor and jirotection of the Spanish Court. Desjiite llie iudoiTiitable bravery which had ever characterized tlie life of the Moorisli connnander he gave way. Kelieving evidently in the old adage that a half loaf was better than none he aci|uiesced in the terms prof- fered aud became a dependent of Ferdinand's. FLOAT No. 17.— ZAGAL'S REWARD. His pci-sonal capitulation vias signalized by a grand royal banquet, at which the fallen Moor wa+i an honored guest, but the festivities of which appeared to be like thorns to his conscience. The iron of ilisappointmcnt entered his soul, he repaired to the inner recesses of his mountain castle, and soon there- after followed the dark and gloomy path that had ended to so many of his brethern in death. Now, Ferdinand had his fondest wish gi'atitlcd, and the Spanish king and his queen sat themselves down be- fore Grenada, tlmi and contident that their royal camp should not be struck until that glorious day, when together they would head the brilliant cortege, which would move within the walls of Grenada, and there set the seal of the entire and and absolute re- conquest of their beloved country. To linger over the details of the inantenvi'cs of war, of the bloody contlicts, of the stratagems and the onshutghts, would be to prolong the journey on the pathway to the iuevitable. Grenada fell, and Boabdil the last of the Arab-Moor kings jiassed l)eyond the walls to end his unlucky lite in Ihe oblivion of departed greatness. FLOAT No. 18.— FAREWELL TO GRENADA. Twelve leagues distant Ihe memorable cavalcade, of which Boabdil was chief, paused al an eminence coni- uiandiug the last view of Grenada. When they ar- rived at this spot, the Moors slopped involuntarily to take a farewell gaze of their beloved city, which at a few steps more would be shut from their sight forever. Never had it appeared so lovely in llicir eyes. The sunshine, so bright in that tiansparcut clinuitc, lit up each spire and minaret, and rested gloriously upon the crowning battlements of the Alliambra, while the Vega spread its enameled bosom of verduie below, glistening with the silvery windings of the Xcncl. The Moorisli cavaliers gazed with silent agony, and transports of grief upon that delicious abode, the scene of their loves and pleasures. While they yet looked a light cloud of smoke Inirst forth from the citadel, and presently a peal of artillery faintly heard, told that the city was taken possession of and the throne of the Moslem kings was lost forever. From this circumstance, the hill pas.scd into tradition, as " tlic last sigh of the Mocu-." Presently a huge siher ci-oss, between the banners of Castile and of Santiago, was seen on the highest tower, aud a shout was heard: "Grenada! Grenada! for King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella!" Then king, queen aud all the army dropped upon their knees, aud a glorious "Te Ucum " was sung, led bv the singei's of the royal chapel. Tears of joy were shed by many a bi-avc captain, who had inherited the struggle from his forefathers, as he came up to kiss the hand of Isabella as Queen of Grenada. Then tiiey rode into the city. It was as a city of the dead ; not even a child looked from the balconies The broken-hearted people were wailing in their houses while the tramp of the horse sounded through their streets, and Ferdinand and Isabella entered the Alhambra as conquerors. r-i~i EstaTslisliecL ise-i.^^^-j PAPER WAREHOUSE, nF.AI^ER IN AI.l, KINOn OF SIICH AS I^ag-s, leope, Ba-g-g-ing-, Old.
