of that memorable and portentous colo
guy between Chistofori Colombi and the
natives you are being imposed on. 1t was
to Waiting Island that Mr.. Bierstadt
went for the scene of his painting, which
he expects to exhibit at the Worlds fair in
Chicago, and no one need be surprised to
hear that the dauntless citizens of the eX-
position city are preparing to move Wat
ling Island bodily from its bed in the
balmy Bahamas, and to anchor it in their
own Lake Michigan At any rate, know
q Chicago newspaper man who is about to
sail for Waiting, where he int2pds to inter
view all the natives about what they know
of the landing of Columbus, unearth all the
old traditions, delve in the sand for Co
lumbus relics possibly to be found there,
and bring the entire island back with him
in his kodak Waiting is about six days
from New York, and the steamers of two
or three of the West Indies and South
American lines pass near it. The view of
Waiting accompanying this letter is from
photograph taken from the deck of one
Of these passing steamers.
OF course it is the Worlds fair which is
responsible fos this Columbus craze Poor
old Columbus, who gave TO the world its
best and richest half and was kicked and
cursed for his pains, wouldn't know him
self if he were to drop down on earth now.
Such popularity he may have dreamed OF,
but he certainly never acquired it while
among the living The collectors are at it,
too, and if a man could discover genuine
portrait of Columbus he could sell it for
about 10000 times more than Columbus
ever received for discovering America. a
Chicago man, J. W. Ellsworth, was in
Washington few days ago, and while
here purchased, for an unknown but very
large sum, book in which Windseemul-
Ter, the printer. first gave the name OF
America to the new continent. Mr.. Ellis

the Pan-Atnerican department of the
Worlds fair, looked six months for that
book which Mr.. Ellsworth bought, and
now he is trying to find Il copy of the bull
issued by Pope Alexander VI, in which he
divided the New World between the Span
lants and the Portuguese. IT he finds it,
Mr. Ellsworth, the rich collector, stands
ready to pay 4 small fortune for it, Prob
ably he will not be able to lin! one
Ot course he can easily produce copy,
but that will not do Nothing but The
Originals will satisfy the ambitious Chi
cago man. Some one suggested to Mr..
Curtis that an original might be found in
the library Of the Vatican at Rome, but i'll
restigation showed that the great ranal
library lacks this, one of the most i,npor.
tant official documents issued since the he
ginning OF the Christian era. As far as is
known, only two copies are in existence
One is i'll the Royal library at Munich, the
other was sold at auction in London in

Mr.. Curtis Was asked the other Gay what
else in the way of Columbus relics and Gu,

stretched to the river in the form of an ir-

was held by British light infantry, under
Earl Balcarras, and Arnold led portions of

Arnold failed in his attack on Balcarras,
his first and only complete repulse Of the
day. Between Balcarras and the German
hill redoubt there was curtain formed of
low brcastworks and couple of stockades,
into which Burgoyne had hastily thrown
force of Canadian and Tory volunteers.
AS Arnold turned away from Balcarras'
impregnable position he saw the old bri-
gadc Q4arned's), part of his division that
had fought with him before the British re-
treat. Without a halt he led this force
against the stockades, broke through the
line, and thus cut off the Germans on the

What Arnold became to the Americana

Fraser had been during the whole fight to
the British. When Arnold broke the
Hessian lines in his second mpetuous
charge, and sent them rceling back i'll wild
disorder. Fraser rallied the men, and by
voice and example brought them to Il stand
and saved them from rout. He rode M
iron gray horse, and wis rs conspicuous i'll

American Seeing this, Arnold called the
attention of Col Daniel Morgan, who led
n select body of rihcmen, to Fraserss per-
son, and said: "That officer upon the gray
horse is himself host and must be dis
posed Of Direct the attention of some of
the sharpshooters among your riilemen to

Morgan stationed Il file of men in Il clump
of bushes with orders to pick OIL the man
on the gray horse. In Il few minutes the
gallant Briton fell, refusing to fly when
it became evident that he was being made
special target.
The mortal wounding of Fraser was Il
turning point in the battle. The fighting
had thus far been in open field, midway be-
tween t..c hostile camps, where the collls-
ion had ',rcu accidental. That Is. Bur
govue's attack on the American flank had
been anticipated, and dctachments of Gates

and fallen upon the movable British col
umn. Arnol,l's impetuous assaults, end
ing i'll the disabling of Burgoynes chief
lieutenant, threw the enemy's line into a
panic, followed by a hasty retreat to the
intrenchments. A rapid pursuit led the
Americans against the right flank Of the
British works, and under tho excitement

Arnold's valor, was not allowed to flag
the success was pushed to the extreme.
