Cuando ell almirante don Crist6bal
Colon desembarc6 en- esta Isla, vino con
un doble fin; extender ell poderlo colo
nial de su metr6poli V cimentar en- es-
tas apartadas regiones la Religion del
Crucifcado.
Espana en- aquella epoca era la ma
ci6n mas poderosa del continente eu-
ropeo; por Italia, por Francia, por
Alemania paseaban sus ejercitos victo-
riosos; sus fotas surcaban todos los
mares, llevando todas parties ell nom
bre espanol con su Edioma, rico, fuido
Y ell mas conocido de todos.
Llena de vida esparci6 por todas
parties las fuerzas que lie sobraban al
descubrimiento conquista de otros
territories, & los que dio 10 que ten1a,
sus virtudes y sus preocupaciones, su
idioma, sus artes, sus crcenclas reh-
giosas.
Pero nuestro pals, solitario pen6n
en- el mar Caribe, fue olyidado COM
pletamente, 81 su nombre llegaba q
la metr6poli era solo para entera1les
de las mezquinas rencillas de los que
luchaban para sefIorearse del mando v
de gozar de los benefcios que la con-
quista proporcionaba: de tarde en- tar

hoy esta habitado, entonces constaba
de algunos miles de habitantes que no

Good advice.

The most miserable beings II the word
are taose suffering from dyspepsia and
liver complaint. More than seventy We
per cent. of ths people in the United States
are afflicted with these two diseases and
their effects; such as sour stomach, sick
headache, habitual costivsness, paioita-
ton Of the heart. heartburn, w:ater
brash, gnawing and burning pains at the
pit OF the stomach, yellow skin, coated
tongue and disagreeable taste N the
mouth, coming Up OF food after eating,
low spirits, etc. Go to your druggist
ard get bottle OF August Flower for 25
or IS cents. Two doses will relieve you.
Try i. China's Drug Store.

a Good Story.

The following story, though it is
more suggestive of the minstrel stage
than reality, is repeated by the grave
and accurate New York Times, though
it admits that it had it from the
Kansas City Journal, that had lit in
turn from the Sedgewick Paragraph.
As the tale runs 1.-TWO young women
of Sedgewick hired livery horse with
which to take drive into the coontry.
Before the start was made the livery
man in answer to his patrons inquir-
les as to the temper and disposition
of the horse, assured them that he
would be as gentle as lamb if they
kept the rein away from his tail,
while-there might be trouble il they
didn't. The young women returned
in safety, and when asked if the horse
bad misbehaved one of them replied :
.Oh, no. There was one little, shower,
but we had an umbrella, and held 1t
so that not drop touched the horses
tail And that, concludes the Pan
tagraph, explains the dazed look the
livergman has been wearing for the
past few days

WHAT IS THOUGHT OF IT.

London, March 26.-Mr. Wyndham
has no cause of be dissatisfied with
the reception given to the Irish land
bill up to the present time. A days
reflection has not modified the first
favorable opinions expressed. Perhaps
the strongest indications of opposition
yet evinced have come from the Ulster
landlords, the majority Of whom are
said to be unlikely to sell their estates.
T. ". Russell, member for one Of
the Ulster divisions, declares that
this difficulty, arising from the omis-
sion of compulsory clause in the
bill. will result in continuance Of the
agitation in Ulster by the tenants,
who are thus deprived CT availing
themselves of the new measure.
William O'Brien has issued mani
festo criticising many features of the
bill, but strongly deprecating anything
like hasty condemnation by the Ma
tionalist Convention. Generally speak
ing, the Nationalist heartily welcome
the bill, not because they regard it as
perfect, but because it gives minister
al sanction to the principle Of State
aid in the shape of the bonus provided
for under the bill, and because it is
held to contain the germs of q future
measure of self-government for Ire
land.
Along the provisions of the bill
which Mr.. Wyndham had not time to
explain yesterday is very important
one, sweeping away all arrears of rent,
except for the year preceding the pas
sage of the Act. Several other ex-
tremely good features of the measure
will also come to light when the text is
distributed.
