islanders maintained their own city
in such a condition of Immaculate
purity, such sanitary perfection as
to dread infection from vessel
such as their ship and themselves.
Cholera, said they, is a we'll
known filth disease" pure water
and perfect drainage defy cholera.
Here then, if their internal santa
ton bears any relation to their ex-
ternal precautions, is the city of
plentiful, pure water and scientific
drainage.
These strangers really may be
excused if they fairly gasped with
amazement when they learned that
the city in which they at last found
themselves after being held as I'M
worthy of entrance for so many
days, had only a scanty supply of
water, much of which is at times
hideously foul, and not a rod of
sewer or a chain of drain in the

A Pen Picture of Columbus.

M. Emilio CASTELAR, has another
chapter in his Christopher Column
bus history, in the Century, and in
the course of it gives this picture
of the great admiral
columbus was of powerful frame
and large build; of majestic bear
ing and dignified in gesture; on
the whole, well formed of middle
height, inclining to tallness; his
arms sinewy and bronzed like wave
beaten oars; his nerves high-strung
and sensitive, quickly responsive
to all emotions his neck large and
his shoulders broad; his face rath-
er long and his nose aquiline his
complexion fair, even inclining to
redness, and somewhat disfgured
by freckles; his gaze piercing and
his eye clear; his brow high and
calm, furrowed with the deep work
ing of thought. In the life written
by his son Ferdinand we are told
that Columbus not only sketched
most marvelously, but was so skill
full as a penman that he was able
to earn living by engrossing and
copying. In his private notes he
said that every good map craftsman
ought to be a good painter as well,
and he himself was such in his
maps and globes and charts, over
which are scattered all sorts OF
cleverly drawn figures"

A Whited SepuIchre.

Mr.. EDITOR Not long ago an
ocean steamship arrived at her
port of destination a regular mail
and passenger ship, making month
ly trips between her two ports, con-
tinental and insular.
On this occasion she arrived at
the island port in due time. She
brought clean bill of health ;
there was no sickness or suspicion
of sickness on board the port she
sailed from was not infected nor
even suspected, but there was
known to be cholera among some
immigrants, quarantined accord
ingly, at a port on the other side OF
the continent 5000 miles distant,
and so, although the steamer had
been seven days on the open ocean,
the islanders put her in quarantine,
and, according to their notions,
"disinfected" everybody and every
thing in the ship, and finally the
ship herself.
It might be supposed that these
gentle islanders, so keenly sensitive
to the possibility of infection from
without, were in some proportion
ate degree alive to the danger OF
neglect or indifference to the SAM
tary condition of their own city,
and that prevention within was as
well worth attention as protection
from without.
SO thought our passengers, who
at last landed, deeply impressed
by the demonstrations, the mean
tations, the lavations and fumiga-
tons they had undergone. They
wanted to learn how these dainty
