RAMBLES IN THE BAHAMAS.
Ratlings’ Island or San Salvador—The
Scene of tlie Lauding of Columbus.
From the Baltimore Sun.
I'. S. Fish Commission Stkamkk Ar,-
jutross, Watusgs’ Island, Baha
mas, March I.—At the present day, when
there are so many tourists spending the
winter months in the Southern waters,
ouc feels it to beau almost unwarrant
able presumption to write upon any sub
ject connected with either the West In
dies or the Bahama Islands. Still, to the
Americans, any information in regard to
Watliugs’ Island or San Salvador, the es
tablished landing place of Columbus, on
Oci. It!, 1482, will always be of interest.
We are told that Columbus discovered the
island at daybreak. He saw it from the
nortnward and eastward. We firstsigbted
tbe northwest end, and ran down the
western 6ide between sunset and dark.
It appeared to be more or less flat, and
uninteresting except as tbe landing place
o! Columbus. The sailing directions for
this part of the seas describe it as being
12 miles in length north and south, from
5 to 7 miles in breadth, and its shores are
slightly indented. The interior is largely
cut up by salt water lagoons, separated
from each other bv small woody hills from
100 to 140 feet high; it is, however, con
sidered to be the most fertile in the group
—< Bahamas }—and raises the best sheep.”
Tbe island has a long reel running out
from the north end, and 1 naturally asked
myself what effect it would have had
upon the history of our country if Colum
bus had been a few hours earlier and
struck this place in the night. As we all
know, this, as well as all the Bahamas,
belongs to England.
THE INHABITANTS.
There are about 500 inhabitants on tbe
island, all black except one white man
and his two sisters. The negroes have
been free a little over forty years. They
are thrifty, scrupulously clean, strong
adherents to the Church of England ex
cept a fow Baptists, and more or less in
telligent, quite a number of them being
able to read and write. One of the chief
things they ask lor was writing paper on
which to practice. Notwithstanding
their apparant intelligence, a very few of
them know anything about the interest
that attaches to their island, and I was
told by oneol the oldest and most intelli
gent of them that not one of them could
point out the supposed landing
place of the great discoverer.
Any one who has ever exam
ined the remarkable paiuting in tbe ro
tunda of the capital at Washington can
not help but being painfully struck with
the contrast between what it represents
and what really exists to-day, Tnere are
beaches here similar to the one there j
shown, a very few palm trees, and none j
of the oeautitul natives. There are not
even any records of the aborigines. The
island is of coral formation, with a light
soil above the rocks. In places it is very i
fertile, and they raise corn and potatoes
in abundance ior their own consumption
and to supply the cattle, sheep and
horses, which they raise and find a ready
market for them in Nassau. A
great variety of wild flowers grow
in great luxuriance everywhere. The
houses, which are scattered ail over the
island, are built with the idea ol keeping
out the heat and to withstand the fearful
hurricanes that sweep over these islands
about once in every 17 years. The founda
lions are laid on the bard coral rock anc
the walls are made of broken pieces of tht
same material. The walls are fully B
inches thick, plastered inside and out aid
whitewashed. The roofs are all thatchtd
with either paim or palmetto. All tae
houses are of one story and not over 20
feet high. There are usually two com
partments in tbe interior. The floors are
covered with matting, and every thug has
a cheerful, cleanly appearance.
HOW PEAKLS AKE CAUGHT.
Some of the people live upon Ishing,
especially for Dearie. I watcbet them
fishing for them. Tney go out it email
hoatß to where the water is about 20 feet
fleep, where, by the use of the water glass,
they can easily see any object at the bot
tom. This glass consists of four boards
about 15 inches long nailed togrther in
the form of a hollow pyramid. The small
end is closed with a piece of ordinary
iflass. By putting this end a6w inches
below the surface of the water and look
ing in the other they can disctrn any ob
ject at considerable depths, as soon as
they see a conch they Give down for it,
and I never saw them fail to bring one
up. After having collected a number
of shells they are taken to the shore and
the conch is examined for its pearl.
They can usually tell by feeling, but to
make sure they cut them up, when, if the
conch contains a pearl, it will drop out
out as soon as the flesh is opened. The
pearl is simply a hard formation inside of
the flesh of the conch and has no appa
rent connection with it. It is rarely that
one is found. Olten hundreds of conches
are caught without finding a single pear),
while on the other hand, two or three
may be found in a catch of half a dozen
conches. June is said to he the best
month tor tbom. The fishermen easily
get from $5 to SIOO apiece for their treas
ures—according to their quality, the
beautiful pink ones bringing the highest
prices.
HISTORY—ITS FUTURE.
Tue Island of San Salvador never will
be, and it is hard to imagine that it ever
has been, any better off than at present;
it has no great luture, and were it not for
the historical interest that attaches to
it as the landing place of Columbus, no
one would ever care to visit it. There are
live different islands claimed as the origi
nal one by different authorities, and a
good deal has been written in support of
each, but \Vatlings’ Island is one the most
generally accepted, and which agrees
most nearly with the accounts given in
the journal of Columbus bimselt. It is
the one laid down on all recent charts as
San Salvador and the first landfall of Co
lumbus.

from the Yew York Tribune.
The County Medical Society met on
Monday at the New York Academy of
Medicine, No. 12 West Thirty-first street.
Dr. Daniel Lewis presided. About fifty
members of the society were
prescut. A paper readby Dr.
Stephen Smith on “The Kffects of

Health of New York City,” was in part
* follows:
Tne death rate rises and falls dally with
'he temperature, though the variation
becomes marked only where the miercury
rises above 70 deg. During June, July,
August and Bill item her the average
mortality in New York advances the rate i

"n the coast,, is higher than that or the
country anil its beat is much more op
pressive. The city has a southern ex
posure. Its entire surface from Fifty
ninth street, to the Battery Is brick and
'tone, devoid of vegetation; Its buildings
jtre crowded together so as to give the
largest amount of elevation and the least
superficial area. Courts, buildings and
rooms are badly ventilated, ullconspir

city should epower the department in
charge to plarand cultivate shade trees,

Dr. Smith sso suggested that the streets
be watered lferally every day with river

LN lALE ATTIRE.
A Michigan toman who Is Disgusted
with Fathers and Skirts.
From thep j, i Ui.ielplaa Times.
A singularpoking couple, as they
walked down Frket street the other af
ternoon, universal attention.
One was a man f 50, who walked with
apparent difficult} leasing heavily upon
a stout cane. One ye was bound up with
a red kerchief ancnt huge green shade
covered both. Hisompanion, who clung
to hie arm, was dresed in a Derby hat,
a frock coat, closer fitting pantaloons
and a pair of Congrss gaiters. A slen
der cane was twirle in the lingers of the
left hand, and a pai of bright and black
eyes, that set oflf a fir face of undoubted
femininity, was contantly scanning the
dress goods in the stre windows.
At Eighth street a*treet car and two or
three wagons came umbling up and the
couple baited on tbteurb. The strange
figure clung still tig ter to the arm of the
partially blind compnion and excitedly
exclaimed:
“Oh, wait!”
“There, that’s enmgh,” said one of the
two curious young ten who were walk
ing behind the coufle. “If I had any
, doubts before, they are all gone now.
That man’s a womai and I’m going to
i find out something alnut her. I thought
! tde windows up tbs street were test
enough, but that set tbs it.”
The couple, seemin?ly unmindful of the
great curiosity the' ” were arousing,
slowly down o Filth street. They
then crossed Market and, missing a yel
low Fifth and Sixth dreets car, stopped
upon the corner to wait for another. Then
the curious young nian boldly stepped up
to the strange figure,
i “I begpardon, butare you notstrangers
I in the city?”
“Oh, no.” The lips parted In a smile.
“We have been here since last summer.”
“Then you reside in the city f”
“We livein Frankford. Yes. I am a
woman,” smilingly, “and this is my hus
band. My name is Elliott, and we oome
from Michigan. We will be In the city
until my husband’s eyes get well. He has
a bad disorder ol the eyes.”
“Why do you—ah—wear men’s
olotbes?” ventured the bold young man, as
he gazed on a sparkling pin In the black
satin cravat beneath a shining linen col
lar.
"Oh, I prefer It,” and the smile grew
broader. “I hate a lot of skirts dangling
about my heels, and I have lived this way
for years—but here comes our yellow car.
Good-day.”
In the Zion Sunday School.
From the Few Y.rrk Tribune,
“De time have arrive which is ’pinted
for de closing of dia Sunday school,” said
Elder Washington, as he struck three
solemn strokes on the bell with a large
rusty nail. “De subject under discus
sion dis morning has been de unforgivable
sin. Dis subject has been much agitated
in de world for years, but dey’s never
settled it just what dai ain was. But we
has concluded dis morning dat to blas
pheme means simply and originally to
slander; and to blaspheme agin, means
simply and originally to slander agin.
See? IjOts ot people blaspheme agin me
ebry day, and dey don’t know it. See?
Well, dat’s what dat sin was. Now vou
will please bring forward de contribu
tion.”
A child or so came up, and reluctantly
deposited a penov. Then Deacon Jack
son went around to persuade tbe others.
“Ain’t you sot none. Rube? Don’t you
fool me, chile; you saving dat "for
caudy.”
“No, can’t gib you no change for dat
ten cents, Sista Jinnie; can’t gib you no
change.”
“Oh, well, den I don’t put it in.”
“Yes, I kin gib you seben cents change.
Dat’s enough. Well, take eight cents
den. Won’t you gib it lor dat? I’d like
to know what you do want? Do you
want ten cents for it? I guess you do!
Here now. here’s nine pennies, good and
honest; wha’s your dime? What you
fraid of? You can count ’em yourself.
Now, ban’ out dat dime. Well, 1 guess
dat’s square. I neber see anybody so par
ticular!”
“Weil,” said Eider W ashington. rub
bing bis hands like a college president,
“January, de wost, month, is moving
away. We don’t like to see time fly, but
we like to see bad time fly. De contribu
tion is not very big, but dis Sunday
school may consider deraselvcs dis
missed.”
As they were going out, be called to
the “white teacher.’
“Miss Smith, do ycu have much spare
time?”
“Not very much, Mr. Washington.”
“Ob. 1 didn’t know but you could do
some writing for me. You see, I has
ideas, sometimes, and 1 write ’em down
quick white dev’s hot. But I ain’t no
gramaran, and I thought maybe you’d
write ’em out better forms.”
“But 1 am afraid they would loee their
freshness, Mr. Washington.”
“Not a hit. Most all lectures does dat;
dey have to. D“n, you see, you’d lie so
good at dat; you see, you’s sentimental
yourself.”
“Sentimental!”
“Yss, dat is to say, you has Intellectual
lacult.es. I reckon you could write
quite a piece yourself, If you set at it.
Dar’s nuthin like engagin’. 1 tell you, j
you don't know what vou kin do till you |
set at It. Dar’s everything in de will. |
Now, Jar’s lot's of people up In (Ist oeme
tnry what has no business to be dar; dey
ought to be walking about dese streets,
had no business to die at all. Dev just
die ’eause it was easy. Yessa! Didn’t
set no will agin it.
“Now when I was in New York, I see
lots of dat. I was intimate wld all the j
old Knickerbocker families dm . 1 used I
to whitewash for ’em. 1 come in room, j
and I aeo a lady all white, laying on a 1
couch. I just set down de brush and I !
gib her a lecture; yes sa, gib her a lec
ture right dar. And de next time I come
’round, she thank me for it. Yss sa,
Uat’s me, dat’s me every time.”
This argument was so conclusive that
Miss Smith promised to correct the
manuscript.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEVfS: SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1886.
KILLED BY AN ANGKY PATHEH
He Shoots r Married Man who Trifled
with Hlti Dtughtur.
From th 6 y*w York Sun.
Winfield, Kan., March 2U.—Yester
day alternoon A. B. Elliott shot and iu
atantly killed Dr. W. M. Chastain at
Dexter, twenty miles southeast of here. \
Elliott hid in a culvert under the main :
road over which he knew Dr. Chastain
would soon have to puss. The weapon
used was a double-barreled shorgun
loaded with buckshot. Dr. Chastain's
wife and children were at Atlanta, Ga.
He came to Dexter about a year ago, aud |
at once proceeded to make himself agree
able to the ladies. Elliott had a hand
some daughter, and Chastain, to use bis
own words, succeeded in making u mash.
The father was opposed to the marriage
of the two, and forbade the girl to see
Chastain or to have anything to do with
him. He sent his daughter, wno will be
of age iu June, to a friend iu Benton,
county, Arkansas. She wrote to Chas
tain on the way, and after her arrival at
her destination Chastain left Dexter aud
went to Arkansas. On the way, it is
said, he telegraphed to his father at At
lanta. saying he would soon be home, and
would bring someone with him. in an
swer to bis telegram he received one from
a friend, saying his father was not ex
pected to live, and to come home at once.
Chastain did so, and as soon as possible
returned to Benton county, Arkansas, j
In the meantime tne father of the girl bad j
gone to Arkansas and started home with I
his daughter, leaviug word wuh the
Sheriff ol Bentou county to arrest Chas
tain when he came.
Tlie Sheriff did not think the grounds
sufficient on which to hold him, and
Cnasrain came to Dexter, arriving on the
same day with Elliott aud the girl. Peo
ple who are familiar with the circum
stances have been expecting this de
nouement. Elliott at once lied to the
timber, and has not yet been apprehended.
Public sentiment sustains him.
FAR-FETCHED CONTAGION.
Symptoms of Cholera in Michigan
Traced to Katineßaisins from Spam,
Lansing, Mich., March 23.—Dr. Henry
B. Baker, Secretary of tbe Slate Board of
Health, has returned from i’inconning,
where he was summoned by the local
health officer to investigate a case of sick
ness closely resembling tbe dreaded
Asiatic cholera. Arthur B. Smith, a
prominent lumberman of l’inconning,
Bay county, was taken sick on March 16
with vomiting and diarrhoea, followed by
cramps and collapse. He became cold
and the pulse at the wrist was not per
ceptible. In fact, he had all tDe symp
toms of cholera. Vigorous work bv Dr.
Abbott, who called in Dr. Newkirk, oi
Bay City, for consultation, brought the
patient through and he is likely to re
cover. A thorough disinfection has been
ordered.
Dr. Baker said: “I made vigorous
efforts to learn of any possible way in
which cholera might have been brought
into Pinconning. Immigrants had re
cently arrived in the vicinity, but none
ol them were from a place Known to be
infected. The men in camp where the
patient had been had not been outside of
tbe State, nor had Smith been out of the
vicinity. As to fruits from the Medi
terranean oranges bad been in the bouse,
but tbe patient is not fond of oranges.
He is fond of raisins, however, and has
been in the habit of eating them from tbe
box, A box in tbe house came from
Valencia, Spain, and the raisins wbicn
Smith had eaten were not coated with
sugar, but were apparently fresh, prob
ably of the crop of 1885, at which time
cholera is know to have prevailed exten
sively in Valencia. The box will be ex
amined for cholera germs.”
A VERSATILE EDITOR.
The Wonderful Feats in Journalism
Performed by J. M. Fitzgerald
From the Philadelphia /Tews.
Editor James M. Fitzgerald, of tbe
Camden Evening Telegram, claims to per
form a grearer variety or duties than any
other editor m the country. It is a
spectacle that makes one admire his
grit to see him sweep out the office, start
tbe fire under the engines and help dis
tribute a form full of type every morning
before he sits down to write a burning
editorial on Democratic purity and Re
publican profligacy. This finished be
acts as foreman of the composing room
and with remarkable dexterity goes
through tbe list of exchanges with bis
left hand and eats mince pie with bis
right. His dexterity in getting up sixty
pounds of steam with a can of coat oil in
ten minutes has evoked praise trom the
oldest engineers in Camden, and the
clever manner m which be can make a
retraction and kick a spring poet down
stairs simultaneously causes tbe editors
of rival newspapers to weep with envy.
There is only one thing that disturbs
the smoothness oi Editor Fitzgerald’s
usually serene temper. That one thing
is a compositor, known to tbe cratt as
“Dutch.” This budding genius has a
mania for capitalization. The moment

TIDED OF HIS BARGAIN.
George Buchsosn Wants a Divorce from
His Notorious Wile.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Louisville, March 24.—George C.
Buchanan, Jr., filed suit for a divorce to
day. He is the eldest son ot George C.
Buchanan, formerly the wealthiest and
most influential distiller in Kentucky.
He owned a dozen big distilleries, and
bla financial standing was very high.
Such was his Influence that he declared,
when legislation on the bonded period
first began, that Congress could not afford
to ignore his claims, as he paid into the
United States Treasury $6,000,000 yearly.
He went down with a crash three years
ago, and, to theastonishmentof the whole
country, it was learned that he had de
frauded several banks ol about $160,000
bv falsely pledging warehouse receipts,
fie fled to Canada, where bo has re
mained.
llis son completed the family disgrace
by marrying a woman ol notorious charac
ter a year ago. They followed his lather
to Canada, where he bad started u modest
business, aided by friends. 1 oung George
and his wile robbed tbs old man of sii,oot)
and then fled. When the money was
spent the woman deserted George and
returned to this olty.
