HIS CURSE Columbus 3?redicte< Heartless Chicago Ini Al ProgreBSO Italo-Americano, a newspaper printed in New York city, contained in its latest issne the fol lowing remarkable letter, which is here printed with thc Italian editor s prefatory note: Christopher Columbus, destitute, sick and starving at the place where BOW is Kingston, Jamaica, wrote to his king and queen that the new world by him gained to Spain would bring ruin to the latter and thus average the wrongs and cruel treatment that the nation had caused him. His words came true. Cuba is the last nail in the coffin of dead Spain. That letter never reached Spain. It is in the records of the council house of Jamaica, and it follows: Jamaica, 1504.-Diego Mendez and the papers that I send through him will show your highness that I dis covered in Veragua some rich gold mines, and as I intended to leave my brother at the Hiver Belin, had not heaven's decree and the greatest mis fortune of the world prevented me from carrying out my plan. However, it is enough that your highness, as well as your successors, should have the glory and advantage of all, and that the completion of discovery and the colonization should he reserved to more fortunate people than the un lucky Columbus. "If God grants me to have Mandez reach Spain, I have no doubt that he will convince your highness, my high lady, that this will not be only a Castilla and Leon, but the discovery of a world of people, of lands of wealth, greater than the most bound less human fancy could desire, but not by me, nor by th is paper, nor by any mortal tongue could be described the anxiety and the sorrows of my body and?.mind, and the destitution and dangers of my son, of my brother and of my friends. "Ten years already we are bound to this place,. lodged on the uncovered decks of our ships thrown ashore, one against the other; those of my men who were healthy have deserted me under the Porrasi of Sevilla; my friends, who remained true to me, are mostly sick of' dying; we have con sumed all food supplies of the In dians, and these have left us now? So we are all exposed to starve, and these misfortunes are accompanied by the worst circumstances, that make me the most unfortunate victim of fate that this world have ever seen. It seems like God's anger has favored the envy of Satan, that would punish, as criminal deeds, the undertakings j and discoveries that the past ages would have recognized as grand and worthy. "It is evident that one resorts to every means to cut the thread which is about to break, since I am in my old age, oppressed and afflicted with unbearable pains of .gout, and I am now languishing and dying of this and other sickness among the savages, where I cannot find any medicines, nor proper food for the body, nor a priest, nor sacraments for the soul. "My men are rebelling against me; my brother, my son and those who remained faithful to me are Bick, hungry, dying; the Indians have for - saken us. The governor of San Do mingo sent to see whether I was dead, rather than help us, or to bring me away alive from here, for his boat did not bring us any letter, nor has com municated with us, nor did they want to receive anything from us. I con clude, therefore, that the officers of your highness intend that here must end my travels and my life. "Oh, holy Mother of God, who has pity on the oppressed, why did not Bobadilla's knife kill me when he de prived me and my brother of the gold earned in such hard manner, and sent us back to Spain without any trial, without any crime, without even a shadow of bad conduct? "Let the whole world and every justice and mercy-loving soul wjep for me. And you, glorious saints of God, you who know of- my innocence, and who see ail my sufferings, have . mercy on me. Because, although the present generation is envious and hard-hearted, surely the future ages will pity poor Christopher Columbus, when they will learn that he, risking his own life and that of his brother, with very little or no expense to the crown of Spain, in ten years and four voyages rendered more services than any mortal being has ever rendered to any prince, or to any country, and, notwithstanding he was left to perish, without being accused of the slightest crime, in poverty, in misery, having taken everything away from him but his chains, so that he who gave Spain a new world has neither safety nor a hut for himself nor for his unfortu nate family. "But if heaven would continue to persecute me, seeming dissatisfied for what I have doue, just as if the dis covery of this new world should be of harm to the old one, and as a punish ment for it it would allow my life to ON SPAIN. 1 Disaster in That Country, ler-Oeean. end in this miserable place, you, good angels, you, who help the oppressed and innocents, bring this sheet to my grand lady. She knows how much ? have done; she will believe what I have suffered for her glory and ser vice; she will be just and kind enough not to allow that the children of the one who gave Spain such untold wealth, such vast and unknown king doms and empires, should be without food and should only live of alms. "She, if she lives, will consider that cruelty and ungratefulness will excite the anger of heaven, the wealth discovered by me will become an in strument to excite the entire mankind to revenge and to robbery, and Spain will suffer what just now her envious, malignant and ungrateful people cause others to suffer." Led Away to be Eaten. But among the multitude of such stories, I venture to think that the following bears away the palm for gruesome horror, and its truth has been confirmed from many sources. I had it from a relative, the owner of the tea estate in Assam, where it oc curred. S. B. waB, not many years ago-and for all I know still is-the manager of a tea-garden in Assam, where a man-eater was in the habit of carrying off the estate ooolies for his dinner, probably finding them much less trouble than a deer or pig. At last, emboldened -no doubt by unhin dered success in obtaining victims, he took to carrying off coolies who were sleeping in the verandas of the mana ger's bungalow. Many traps had been laid for him, the bodies of victims poisoned, watchers with guns on the j lookout over the killed men; but so 1 great was his cunning that he had escaped them all. Everything having failed, things had become desperate, and some of his planter friends de termined to sit up for the tiger on the veranda, with native blankets dis guising them-an exceedingly excit ing business, for, be it remembered, no lights were allowed, and the brute cared nothing for numbers, so that his appearance might be too sudden for unsteady nerves. One of the planters, after they had sat a long time in breathless suspense, entered the house for something that he want ed, and while looking for it was star tled by a sudden terrible uproar in the veranda which he had just left. Seiz ing his rifle, he rushed out to find all the party gone; but from the dark tea-garden he heard the voice of S. B. calling out in agony: "Help! for God's sake! Help! The tiger's got me. Help! help!" Fixing his bayonet he ran towards the spot, and in the dim gloom made out the outline of the tiger dragging B, who was walking by its side, his hand in the brute's mouth. Without a moment's hesitation he rushed up to the tiger, plunged the bayonet into its sice, at the same time pulling the trigger. The tiger fell, releasing B, and both men rushed back to the house; but before they could reach I the steps, the tiger was upon them, j and again seized poor B, biting and clawing his back and shoulders in a terrible manner. It was mercifully an expiring effort, for the brute fell dead before it could kill B. It then transpired that the tiger had stolen in upon the watchers like a shadow, without the slightest warning, and seized the nearest one, who happened to be B, by the hand, which he had raised to defend himself, and had commenced to drag him off. In his agony he rose to his feet, and after decendiDg the steps of the bungalow, was actually walking off with his hand in the niger's mouth, to be devoured, when his friend, by his courage and presence of mind, rescued him from an awful death. The other watchers, utterly panic-stricken, had made for the nearest door, and had it not been for the coolness of his brave rescuer, I would have been added to the long list of man-eater's victims. After being ill for many months, B. recov ered to tell the affful tale of how he had been "led away tobe eaten." Col. Trevor, in World- Wide Maga zine. From New Zealand. Reefton, New Zealand, Nov. 2'6, 1896.-I am very pleased to state that since I took thc agency of Chamber lain's medicines the sale has been very large, more especially of the Cough Remedy. In two years I have sold more of this particular medicine than of all other makes for the previ ous five years. As to its eflicaey, I have been informed by scores of per sons of the good results they have re ceived from it, and know its value from the use of it in my own house hold. It is so pleasant to take that we have to place the bottle beyond the reach of the children. E. J. SCANTLEBURY. For sale by Hill-Orr Drug Co. - Arthur: "Are you sure she loves you?" Jack: "Yes; when I told her I had no money to marry on, she asked me if I couldn't borrow some." Noted Actress of War TimeB. Tbe home of Miss Sally Partington, once the most famous actress of the south, and who during the war was the soldiers' favorite, was sold at publio auction recently in order to meet a note of $367. The only property in the world owned by the woman who was once the admiration of the boys in gray, and who nightly appeared before the footlights in the capital of the Con federacy, and received their plaudits, is a little farm of a few acres, located in Hanover county near Pole Green. Sally Partington is now living in ob scurity in a room over a grocery store on ths corner of Fourth and Jackson streets, in this city. The name of the once famous actress, while probably not familiar to those of the present generation, is, however, well known to those who lived during the civil war, and the mention of it stirs np old memoirs and calls to mind many an evening when the most fash ionable > udiences of Bichmond assem bled in the Marshall theatre and wit nessed the productions of the stock company of those days. And in that company was Sally Partington, who completely won the hearts, not only of the soldier boys, but of every one of the play-goers who ?were wont to gather beneath the roof of the Mar shall th jatre in those dark days, and forget, for a time, the sad sceneB of war, in laughing at "Jimmy" Wells, the little commedian, who, next to Sally Partington, was the most popu lar member of the organization. In the company with these two old favor ites were Ida Verner, Mrs. De Bar, Kate Estelle, Mrs. Dalton, Mary Jackson, Ned Dalton, Dorsey Ogden, Toler Wolf, Bob Browne and others. Lonnie Graves was then a stage hand of the house, and Peter Jackson was captain of the supers. When the Marshall theatre was de stroyed by fire the stock company made use of^ what was old Trinity church, and rechristened the building, calling it "The Varieties." This building Staads next door to the Ex CRUSHED BY HER CROWN! The great "Book of Martyrs" has never bees written. Fox's famous work deals only with tte martyrdom of the body. When the real book of martyrs is written it will deal with the mental martyrdom of the woman who suffered in silence because modesty would not let her put into speech the questions that burned in her heart. Modesty is the Crown of Mp'JJrnhood and Motherhood, and yet there h If been liter ally millions of women crushed to death by that crown,-that shining symbol of woman's sovereignty in thc home. Here is A YOUNG GIRL " Standing with reluctant feet Where womanhood and girlhood meet." In the first critical period of her life she begins to experience suffering which she necessarily connects with the organs of sex. What it is she does not know. Why it is she does not understand. She needs medi cal advice. But she shrinks from it. Her modesty is up in arms at the thought of questions to be asked, of examinations to be submitted to, both alike repugnant to delicacy. So she suffers in silence. The 6train on the delicate machinery of her organism becomes more severe. Painful irregularities b;corae yet more painful. And so, silently, she treads the painful path to confirmed invalidism. Her crown of modesty becomes a crown of thorns. She sees the glowing lamp light of cheer ful homes. She hears the cooing of thc happy babe, the prattle of joyous children, and ahe iears that all that life of home and love is not for her. Or take the other typical case of the woman who has entered on thc cares and DUTIES; OK WIKEHOOD. She has always, been healthy and happy. But now a change comes. Her eye loses its brightness. Her step loses its spring. The color fades from her cheek. Fre quently she is compelled to lie down and rest. She is in constant pain. She looks dreadingly down the calendar toward the hour when the burden of motherhood will be laid upon her. She, too, needs help. But she too suffers silently, because she cannot speak and open the door to such questions or such examinations as her modesty revolts at. And yet all this suf fering is, as has been said, unnecessary, because to match modesty of speech there is mcdesty of hearing. There is one physician who has fully met the needs of modest women by offering absolute confidence in hearing-absolute confidence in consultation-combined with absolute competence in treatment. His remarkable discoveries and the way in which he has me t woman's peculiar needs has made Dr. R. V. Pierce (chief consult ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y.), the friend and confidant of tens of thousands of modest women. In over thirty years experience with female disorders of every possible type, treating them to the number of hundreds of thousands, Dr. Pierce has been brought into relation with every form of feminine weakness, feminine pecul iarity, and feminine disease. Where a local practitioner has experimented and failed with ten cases Dr. Pierce's discover ies and advice have gone staight to thc root and cured ten thousand. Every varia tion of symptomatology is known to this life-long specialist. The presence of com plications that confuse and bailie the ordin ary practitioner are every day experiences and every ?lay successes to him. His medical discoveries and his conG dential, fatherly advice, are to-day the only harbors to which weak, hopeless, unfor tunate woman can turn for help and get it ninety-seven times out of every hundred. Those who tum to him experience at once, instead of a skirmishing with symptoms, a banishing of suffering. His 'Favorite Prescription" sot only removes all pain ful female irregularities but acts directly on the delicate organs that suffer in the strain and stre?s connected with mother hood. It supplies vital force and energy. Dr. Pierce is at all times ready to give advice, free of charge, to those who employ his remedie?. Address him as above. bange hotel, and is now used as a louse of worship by the colored race. Jpon the completion of the new the are, on the Bite of the old "Marshall," he company returned, and an immense ?udienoe greeted the performance of he opening night. One of the dress ng rooms of the new theatre was hristened "Sally Partington's dress og room" as a compliment to the amous young actress. To the Dispatch dramatic critic, rho talked with Sally Partington, the ,ctress told many little interesting vents of her life. Miss Partington, hough well on in life's journey, is till a woman of considerable activity, ind though her face is not unmarked >y the ravages of time, yet there is a ight in her eyes which the years have mt dimmed, and when she talked of he old days, and mentioned the names if players who were once her closest riends, she became even animated in 1er conversation. "Yes," she said, "I was the favorite ?f all the soldiers, and I often visited >he hospitals, and helped to minister ,o the sick and wounded. Often when ! would be riding or driving, groups if soldiers in the streets would stop md cheer me as I passed. At night it the theatre I was always greeted rith enthusiasm. At many a per 'ormance have the soldiers thrown noney to me upon the stage." The actress then related a pretty ittle incident, which shows how a loldier was affected by the impersona -ion of a part that appeals to the sym pathy of an audience. "I was play ng Oliver Twist one night," said Miss Partington, "and when I delivered ihe lines, 'I am so hungry; I wish I jould lay down and die,' one of the mldiers sprang up, and, in a tremu ous voice, said: "Here, little fellow ; 1?re is $5; get something to eat with ihat.' " At another performance Miss Partington said she was playing "Nan, ihe Grood-for Nothing," and a soldier ?hrew to the stage a small Bible. The ictress says she has this little Testa Bent now, and would not part with it for anything. The name of the aol iier is written on the fly,leaf. Miss Partington then spoke of the }ld Richmond theatre, in which she bad played so often, and said that she ilways disliked to pass Seventh and Broad streets, because she could not bear to see a modern store building on the site formerly occupied by the loved old playhouse. "When the work of tearing down the theatre had almost been completed," said she, "and nothing but a heap of ruins re mained of the walls, I stopped one day and picked from the debris a little Btick pin, and I treasure this as a last memento of the old R.chmond the atre." The actress was almost overcome with emotion when she referred to the little farm in Hanover county, wMch has been disposed of under the auc tioneer's hammer. It was on this place that three years ago her sister, Mary Partington, died. Mary Par tington was a dancer, and was almost as great a favorite during the war as the actress. "I have many a time," said Miss Partington, "given away more than enough money to meet my present needs, for I have often gottep up and given performances for the benefit of charitable objects, and dur ing the war I frequently played and gave up my salary for the relief of our suffering soldiers."-Richmond Dis patch. - m ?? mn Trnth wearB well.
