He discov ered and explored the coasts or the Isthmus of Darlen. Having failed te lind the strait, he attempted te found a settlement en the coast or veragua new Cesta Itlci (tne inch Coast), where he found ample evldence or Valuable mines of geld and silver. This was the vast riches alluded te In his letter. Hav Hav leg discovered the tceuntry, Columbus Imagined that be had secured its rich mines te his sovereigns. There he heard of a civ ilized people in Mexico and Peru. The natives became hostile and Columbus and his colony were com pelled te leave the coast In vessels rendered totally unsetv worthy, their timbers being honoy-cembed bv termites and worm-borers, the dreadful pests of the tropical countries. Departing for Illspanlela, they encountered heavy norms and endured untold perils and priva tions. They were finally compelled te seek shelter en the coast of the island el Jamaica. The ships had, become mere wrecks, and could no longer be kept at sea. They were ready te sink. Columbus ordered them te be run aground within bow-shot of shore, and fastened togethor side by side. They "seen lilted with water te their decks. Thatched cabins were then erected ever the high prows and sterns for the accommoda tion of the crews, and the whole were placed In the best possible state for defense. The best helper of Columbus w Diege Mender- mentioned at the, 'oegmhlugef his letter. He was bntveand lalthlul. lie went among the 'natives with presents, and made .arrangements for regular supplies of reed. The next great care of Columbus was te pro vide means te set te Ilispaniela. Nicholas Ovando (Obando) had succeeded Bebadllla as governor. Columbus resolved te ask him te send ships te take him and hlscompanlens thither. Hew could this be doue? Only by a messenger In an open beat across a rough sea forty leagues. Mendez volunteered te undertake the task in a canee with a Spanish comrade and Indian oarsmen. He tailed, having been captured by hostile natives. Mendez alone escaped. He again under took the perilous mt"aIen. After he left revolt and discontent broke out ; and the malcontents reamed ever the island and stirred up the natives against Columbus and the faithful friends who re mained with him. Klght months elapsed after the departure of Mender, before Obando rosnended. or tidings were received el the fate et thelalth- lut messenger sent uy tne admiral. One evening, at twilight, a small vessel appeared te the eyes of the dwollera en the wrecks, approaching thorn, and tilled them with Jey ana hope. It came alongside, when a barrel of wine and aside of bacon, which Ovando had sent as a present te Columbus, were de livered te him. Then the vessel withdrew a space. Its commander exchanged a low words with Columbus, at a distauce, and then this mvstorieus visitor suddenly do de parted. It had only revealed the fact by In ference, that Mendez had reached Hlspan Hlspan iela in safety, and had probably sailed ler Spain. This meckery left the sufferers in despair, all but Columbus,whose faith in Ged buoyed his spirits. Ovando, who teared the less of the governorship or illspanlela, should Col umbus return, had learned that the admiral was still alive, butin great peril and distress, and left him te perish, lint deliverance came. The letter given belew had been de llvered te the monarchs by Mendrz, and the compassionate queen had sent orders te Ills Ills paneola for ships te be dispatched te Jamaica ler the sulferers. Twe vessels conveyed Col umbus and his companions te Illspanlela early in the summer et 1501, whence the ad miral, his son and ids brotber Hailed ter Spain in the autumn. When, alter being tessed for weeks upon the stormy besom or the Atlautlc, all the while tortured by the gout, Columbus nr rlved at the pert of San Lucas, his brave heart was pierced with another deep sorrow. His "great mistress," the queen, was dead. He went te Sovllle In quest of repose and comfort, but found them net. His appeals te the king ler Justlce were unheeded, lie iinally retired te Valladelld, wbore he lived in poverty and obscurity, and in May, 1500, he died. Ju-t before that event lib wrote sadly te a friend : " Little hae I prollted by twenty years el service, with such teds and perils ; since, at present, 1 de net own a reef in Spain. If I deslre te eat or sleep, 1 have no retort but au Inn ; aud for most Instances net wherewithal te pay my bills." The Letter of Celmiilim. Following is the translation of the letter relerred te, from Columbus te his sovereign; "Sir: Diege Mendez, and the papers I sent by him will show your Highness what rich Mines of Geld I have discovered in S aragua, and hew I intended te have left my Brether at ltlver Helm, if the Judgment of Heaven, and the greatest mlsfortune or the A erid, had net prevented it: howeer, It's sufficient your Highness aud Successor will have the Glory and advantage or all, and that the lull discovery and Settlement U raserved Ter happier Persons than the un fortunate Columbus.

They are far inore steady, spend less extravagantly and have employ ment at least eleven mouths of the year, whlle the ethers w erk only about e en.

The lay-out In that game, you w III remember, Is the Ace, King, Queen. Jack no, I don't call It the Knave : who does but the boek-wriiors ? and Ten of Dia monds. Well, there were ten players In the game five cards dealt te each. The tlrst te play drew the marvelleus hand the hlchest tive cards of Diamonds.
