their Intentions with regard to the
bones Of Columbus or something that
passes for them. It is curious freak
that the successors Of the contemnere

should show such anxiety about his

monies and OF their indifference TO
matters Of superior Importance and

is in reality a reproach to them and It
will remain such whatever may be
done with his dust.
