The discovery of America by Christopher Columbus is one of these. I have been educated from my infancy to venerate the memory of that immortal Italian, but I coo fess that now that I have crossed the ocean, with ail the facilities that steam and nautical science afford, it is the frst, time that I have been able to conceive a correct idea of the genlus of Columbus, to appreciate bie. enterprise, the foresight which never tafied haa eheteek day of his journey, so that now I prostrate myself Defore Columbus and worship him as of Divine emanation. “fueretore, gentlemen, I rejoice with you and congratulate you trom the bottom of my heart for the noble sentiment that has inspired you in pro- posing an international testimony tn honor of the immortal son of Genoa, and be it as an Italian, or asamember of the parliament of Italy, as dele- gave of my government to thls Medical Congress, and even as one of its vice-presidents, with inf nite deligit do I associate myselt with this propo- sition and thank you most sincerely.” ‘The motion was then put and the resolution unanimously a.topted, President Davis then introduced Prof. Martin, of Berila, to preside, and Dr. P.
