 We went to tbe Cathedral, where Columbus vas once buried. He was buried five times We will trace him to Seville, where he HOW lies in peaeR Then we went by the reputed side oi his house. You know he married I Madeira lady and lived here the ear ly years of his married life. His fatherin-law was shipbuiller and from him he first became interested in navigation. He and his father res cued shipwrecked crew, the cap tain died from exposure, and before his death he gave Columbus his charts and inspired the desire to find a short way to India--this for the children. We walked through the narrow streets and found it was wash day in Funchal. The water is turned on for irrigation certain days and the poorer class utilize if as it is only a small stream. They use $ dav stone instead of |. Washbcard.
 We were everywhere urged to 5u. the native wares. the tropical fruits and the beautiful strawberries.
 We took the inclined railway for the church-Ouz Lady of the Mount away Up the mountain. The view on the way up could not be surpassed. The mountain side was one terrace after another, with the sugar cane and vines all around. Homes were all along the way. usually & large clump of banana bushes by the side of the house, orange trees around and the most beautiful flowers, court paved with the inevitable cobble stones, with lattice over it, the grape vine covering it.
 The grape yie>is three crops a year. High walls were around these homes, always covered with flowers. Some times the vine bigmonia, some thing like trumpet wine, literally covered with yellowish-red flowers. Many of these walls were cover9t with the ivy geranium q thought of my little hanging baskets). Over some the plumbago was hanging In full bloom, with growth of at least ten feet.
 At the terminus of the elevated railroad was a very handsome hotel the grounds laid out beautifully. On the way up to the church of Our Lady of the Mount the paths were lined with banks of flowers. Imagine deep border of calla lilies as far as the eye can reach, the largest flowers ever saw. Camelia trees possibly hundreds of years old; white, pink and red geraniun. be- side which 1 looked like pigmy; great heliotrope bushes, eight and ten feet high; fuschia bushes, equally high. The flowers were like those in California, only larger. A very popular way to return from the church is by sled, guided by two mer down a road called the Mount road We walked down and were glad wt did.

Relatives in this city have received the first news from Mrs. Corinne s. Knox, of this city, since her depart ure for Europe with & party of friends some days ago. The letter arrived here yesterday and was writ ten on board of steamship Arabic. 1t is most interesting and the writer describes many interesting scenes enacted soon after the steamers ar rival at Funchal In part Mrs. Knox says:
 On Board Steamer Arabic, Feb II,
 19O9.--
 I will write you Of Madeira while my impressions are most vivid. Aitor seven days of water we sighted land at 7:30 Thursday morning; a shout went up from the decks when the first of the group of islands rose abruptly from the water. They are of volcanic origin, as can be told from their very rugged appearance. The sail of thirty miles along the is land was most interesting, many rocky promontories, but mostly grad ual ascent until the height was 5000 feet This part was snow-capped.
 The lower slopes were i'll cultiva- tion. We found by field glasses there were two crops together--a row of sugar cane and q row of grapevines. Houses are dotted all over the sides of the mountain. Many cliffs had the coloring of Yellowstone Canon. but not so beautiful. Vivid patches of color came into view, purple and red and yellow. We found these were shrubs and vines massed, each color to itself.
 About 10 o'clock we came in sight of Funchal, with its miniature Bay Ex8 Naples. Vessels of different coun- 2Sries were lying in port. The town
 protected by line of forti6ca- lions, beginning and ending in forts, each o6 which is built on an immense rock-a natural vantage ground. We came in port with flying coiors, lines of, flags from the masts. band playing. We received a most flatterlng well come. The natives In rowboats swarmed about the ship. The natives loudly urged the tossing of coin in the water, for which they would dive. Then the boats came out with wares for sale-boats full of willow chairs, baskets; others full of embroidery, lacework, beads. etc. They had long holes, with hooks on the end. In that way they came up the sides Of the boat before the steps were let down. Soon a great variety was spread out in line On deck.
 We landed in launches. or tenders, as they are called. The waves were high and there was much tossing. Lon the dock we spoke Of pressing Mother Earth once more, but If we pressed Mother Earth we had to get on a flower bed to do 1t, for every thing was paved with cobble stones~ streets, sidewalks, the courts to the houses-you can imagine the effect
