the Spanish civil guard. It was used
by q spaniard in the war between

spoons made by the natives OF cocoa
nut; native hats made of palm; cofee
upon a branch plucked from a tree;
a supply Of Porto RIcan sugar, rice and
vermlcellI, and some specimens Of rare
lace for trimming pillow cases and bed
spreads. This last Mr.. catlett brought
as a present to Mrs. N. B. Scott, wife
Of the senator.
There are many other articles OF
great Interest, among them some photo
graphs representing a number of Porto
