Special Corrcipoudcnce.l Washisoton, July 80, Mr. Willimn Elcroy Curtis, In chargo of the bureau of American republics, lias for months been ransacking tho inusoutna ami libra rios of tho world for a portrait of Chris topher Columbus that would havo some claim to genuineness. Mr. Curtis did not eipect nor oven hope to succeed, but he felt It his duty to inako tho cilort, for it was, if possible intended to exhibit the likeness of Columbus at tho World's fair in Chicago. Instead of one portrait, eomothlnglike forty will be exhibited, each enlarged to 84 by 88 inchos in size. In searching for iwrtraits of Co lumbus Mr. Cur tis has had ex tonslvo corre spondence with historians and collectors, with tho portrait tnan of the British museum, with a Mr Stevens, of London, who is COLUMDUS, 1575. lEoi-rMlnK from Pnulos " of tho most jowus.i accomplished ami persistent Columbus collectors in the worlds with Mr. Ilarrisso, tho great crit ical authority on Columbian history, with the Duke do Veraguas, a descendant of tho discoverer, and many others. Tho search has brought forth many In teresting stories and an endless variety of alleged portraits, but no genuine like ness. Air. Curtis has, therefore, re luctantly reached tho conclusion that there Is no authentic por trait of Colum bus in existence. There is no evi- ,' denco that the te " discoverer over VSk.". sat for his por- s trait, or that u oapuiolo's EsartAViNO genuine' likeness of him was ever paint ed, carved or drawn. Perhaps tho near est approach to a genuine likeness is the sketch which Cosa, tho pilot and cartog rapher who was with Columbus on his first voyage, mallo on tho margin of one of his maps. Mr. Curtis thinks there is little reason to doubt that Cosa Intended to make a picture of Columbus, but as he was a maptnaker rather than an art ist, and a very poor maptnaker at that, no one can tell whother ho camo within a thousand miles of tho true likeness or not. Wo have descriptions of the person of Columbus from two who' know him 0'iedo and his own son Ferdinand. We have other accounts from two who cer tainly knew his contemporaJ es Gomara and Ben roni and In ad dition we possess tho description given by Henera, who had tho best sources of infor mation. Ftom these wo learn that his face was long, neither full Tilt: YANKZ COLUMBUS, nor thin; his nose aquiline; his eyes light gray; his com plexion fair and high colored. His hair, wliloli r.i nf lirrlit rnlnr liofnrw thlrtv. I became gray after that ago. In the Paesl novamenti rotrovati of 1C07, ho Is de scribed as having a ruddy, elongated vis age, and as possessing a lofty and noble stature. ; These are the tests with which to challenge tho very numerous eo called likenesses of Columbus, and it must be confessed not a single one, when you take into consideration the accessories and the costume, warrants us in believ ing beyond disputo that we can bring before us the figure of the discove; er as he lived. Such is the opinion of Feuillet do Conches, who has produced tho best critical essay on the subject yet written. A vignette on tho map of La Cosa, dated 1500, represents St. Christopher bearing on his shoulders the infant Christ across a stream. This has ' been considered symbolical of the purpose of Co lumbus in his die c o vor i es to spread Christian ity to the other side of the "dark w a t o r." The claim has also . been raado that JEFFERSON COPY. La Cosa represented tho features of Co lumbus in the faco of St. Christopher, and that Ilerrera must have been of the samp opinion, since the likeness given by that historian can bo imagined to be an enlargement of tho head on tho map This head Is hardly accepted, however. , by the critics Discarding the La Cosa vignette, the 1 earlient claimant now known is an en 1 graving published by Paulo Giovio In 1577 Giovio had in his villa at Lake Como a gallery of notable people, and among them, it is known, was u portrait of Co lumbus Tlio en graving of 1575, a TjU E?

Tho llkouoss bears a certain rose m bianco to tho woodcut and to tho Florence T,,c JOMA"u wmjmuub llkouoss. The Yancz canvas Is certainly the oldest In Spain, and tho present Duke 1 If 1. -.- !.-. aV - M f -t....--ti.... do Veraguas, a descendant of Columbus, considers it tho most autheutlo of all. It Is thought Antonio del Hlncon, well known in Columbus' day, may have painted this Yauez canvas on the dis coverer's return from his second voyage. Cardcrera and Uauchcro, good authori ties, indorsed it. Tho picture now in the rooms of the Wisconsin Historical so elety was copied from tho Yanez portrait Tills woodcut of 1603 was undoubted ly tho prototypo of an engraving by Caprlolo, published at Homo In 15W), and theso cuts, ono or tho other, and a mingling of tho two, havo given rise to many Imitations. A number of so called portraits of Columbus can bo traced to these two engravings. From an Ameri can point of view tho most interesting of all pictures bearing a supposed rela tion to tho scattered collection of por ttultsof great men in tho villa at Lake Como is now In tho gallery at Florenco, and Is said to have been p.iintod by Al tisslmo boforo tho year 1508. A copy of it was made for Thomas Jeilersou in 1781, and was at Mouticello in and having been scut to Boston 1811s to bo disposed of, became the property of Israel Thorudyke, and was by him given to thu Massachusetts Historical society, in whoso gallery It now Is Aftsjr tho woodcut of 1575, the next oldest engraved likeness of Columbus Is tho ono usually called tho Do Dry jior- trait.

He accounted for tho Flemish rtitf, ixiint ed beard, gold chain and other anachro nous accesborieH by supposing that theso had been added by a later hand. Though Jomard was very confident ho had tin- earthed a true llkonesa of Columbus, tho critics declined to agreo with him A similar out of dato tuff and mus tache adotn tho likeness at Madrid asso ciated with tho Duko of Berwick-Alba, in which tho finery of the throno makes part of fho picture. The owner had a private plato en graved from it, and a copy of this engraving was presented toOba dial! Rich, the fa mous collector, who appeared to have confidence in it, and who gave his copy to the Lenox librarv in New York, huok's columuus. where it now is. A picture belonging to the Duko of Veraguas is open to similar objections on account of Its beard, armor and ruff, although Munoz adopted it for his official history. A picture of a be dizened cavaliar, ascribed to Parmlglano (who was three years old when Colum bus died), 1b preserved at Naple. , and is, unfortunately, the lommon notion of Columbus In this country, from its hav ing been used by Prescott in his Ferdi- j nand and Isabella for somo unaccount- ablo reason it is retained In the latest I issue of that work and from Its having 'been copied for tho American Antt Iquarlan society it was long ago re I jectcd by competent critics. ' Within a short time a discovery of jsome Interest has been made at Lake I Como, where, In tho house of Dr. Orchi. was found an ancient portrait ot Colutn I bus closely resembling tho Jefferson pic ture, except that there is a greater droop in tho eyelids. Dr. Orchi proves that this picture is at least 000 years old, and it has been all that timo in his family In the town hall at Ocogeletto is another portrait, more than 300 years old. which bears a strong ro semblance to the best of the por traits made alter ni-.,,!,, ri uiuvius eugiiiv firings Mr Curtis' ....! 1 a ' n unpi' is rnni Giovio. within ton or twelve years after the death of Colum FROM MONTANU9. bus, hired an art 1 1st to paint the discoverer's portrait from uescriptlons of his personal appearance .a"rJ V ".. 11 Tal V given by those who had known him.

GOSSIP ABOUT PRELATES. Tlie Wlrs of llrltlsli ArUiblaliupi nml llltluips lli'iiiiitruo) of thr Church. ISpvclnl Corroipotiitonce.) New York, duly 30. A strango fea ture ki connection with tho Church of England is thu abnormal position of the wives of tho archbishops and bishops. Thuv aro ontirelv Imiored a survival. ' probably, of pre-Reformation times , uml tlinv nro debarred from anv tinrtiel- patlon in tho rank and prooodtiru of their husbands. Thus, wlillo thu archbishops of Canterbury and York outrank every peer of thu realm, and aro addressed as "Your Grace," In tho sainu manner as tho dukes whom they precede, their wives are forced to yield tho pis to tho damo of every uowly knighted grocer or linen draper, and aro styled not "Du chess" nor oven "Lady," but only "Mrs." Tho wives of tho bishops of Loudon, of Durham and in fact of every other prelato of the Church of England aro in a similiar incongruous position, although their husbands ovcrrank the barons in tho house of tuicrs and aro entitled to the predicate of "Your Lordship." It is surprising that this anomalous stato of affairs to which Queen Elizabeth is recorded in history to have drawn the attention of her advisers should havo been allowed to exist unchanged through thu course of three centuries. The church, both Catholic and Re formed, continues to this day to form tho most democratic institution of the world. It is tho ono walk in lifo where humble birth is no drawback to thu highest preferment. Tho late primate of Hungary was of tieasant origin. Tho prince archblshob of Cologne Is tho son of small potk butcher at Coblentz on j the Rhine, tho prince archbishop of I Poseu Is the brother of a village tailor at Elbing, tho prince aschbishop of Dreslau is tho only child of a weaver earning a fuwjgrodchenn a day, while an other famous cardinal has a brother who peddles hides and rabbit skins. Cardi nal Mhalowitz, of Agram, who haR just died, was the son of a village school- i master, and during tho early part of his lifo passd three years of penal servitude in the penitentiary as a rebel against thu Austrian government. Moreover, at tho funeral of Cardinal Gangelbaur, thu archbishop of Vienna and primate of Austria, the emperor 6tood at thu head of thu coffin with the dead prelate's two brothers, dressed in tho peasant garb of upper Austria, standing beside him. Adrian IV, the powerful pope who gave Ireland to England, was the son of a lowly Kentish serf, and quite a num ber of other celobrated pontiffs were of equally obscure birth. Napoleon I was wont to declare that every French sol dier carries a field marshal's baton in his knapsack, and in the same manner it may be said that every faithful son of the church who enters the priesthood j carries the crosier of an archbishop, the red hat of a cardinal or even the tiara of a pontiff In the folds of his cassock. While prelates as a rule are dignified, imposing and stately, there are some with whom I have been brought Into contact who havo startled me by their exceedingly democratic demeanor and by their free and easy behavior. Tims I havo seen the cardinal archbishop of Lyons, while standing arrayed in his gorgeous robes on the steps of the gtand altar In tho cathedral preparatory to blessing tho people, coolly tuck his crosier under one nrm, much in the samo manner as if it were an old um brella, for tho purpose of leaving his hands free to take a pinch of snuff I have met In tho streets of Agram the celebiated bishop of Deakovar. who is regarded as a species of vice pope by the 18,000,000 Slavs of Austro-Hungary, striding along booted and spurred, clad in a uarK coarse gray snooting jacket, a ' ott ten nat percneil raklslily on one ' side of his head, a stout hunting crop ' uuder his arm ami a cigar in the corner ' of his mouth The late archbishop- of York was wont to devote his vacation to tramping through tho lake districts of England with a photographic camera fitted up in a two wheeled cart drawn by a small i jackass Tho lord bishop of Chester may be seen flying about his dloceeoon a tricclo. The bishop of Ripon plays football with as much zest as a school boy, while the well known Bishop Elll- J cott, although seventj -two years of age, nas oeen uutinguuiitng Himself during the past severe weather as a fancy skater on the Ice.
